I have attached for everyone interested, here are the Component replacement and schematics for our phone.
On that note, I keep seeing in the component replacement that there is a coaxial connector, is that for a wifi antenna? I have a few old wifi antennas from old laptops that have the same connector as that... if one of these connectors works with those coaxial and it is for a wifi then I would like to try it.
Can anyone tell me if this is a coaxial for wifi? Thanks... not meant to be a question thread, but it sort of turned into it.... this is still more of a "
here you go" kind of thread
Due to size limitations on XDA I have posted them below

In regards to the coaxial plug in the component pdf, this is what I am referring to with my little question about that coaxial plug being a wifi plug...

you're not going to be able to install another wireless card into a phone using the connectors...

I took mine apart and the coaxial connectors are too small. I ran a wire underneath the wifi sticker and connected a stripped end to the underside of the wifi antenna and ran it down about half way along the side of my phone inside. I can now get about 50 further away from my home wifi then before

Original FCC site does not appear to work anymore. So I am uploading these here.

Ooh intermeresting. Anything special/hidden surprises?
Edit: if those are the antenna locations what's the circle rubbery looking thing under the stand?

I believe it was found to be the screw that holds the back case on, according to a HTC tech

its an external antenna port. if not sure, pull plug and verify yourself.....
Sooo my usb port broke I took it apart and found it broken but not only that but I found a broken thin cable I believe its called, AC FPC cable or something, any clue what that ribbin like cable does?

I believe that is the wire for the hard buttons (call, home, windows, back, hang up). If it's broken and you assemble it, those buttons may not function.
Just did a similar repair on my wife's hd2 you can search YouTube and find some great instructional bids there. Good luck

Alright I know this sounds weird and you probably think I'm crazy but here we go. My wall adapter for my charger makes squeaking noises. Imagine a cricket got trapped inside it somehow. That's what it sounds like. Its kind of quiet but definitely noticeable. If I unplug my phone from the adapter or unplug the adapter from the wall, it instantly stops. I'm using the stock Motorola charger and micro USB cable. Should I be worried?

It's going bad.
Seriously... I've had laptop adapters do the same thing.
It's the sound of a resistor dying.

It's crying for a replacement ......

Thanks for the replies. Pretty weird that it needs replaced after only about 5 months.

If it is just a high pitched whine, its probably ok. But if it is sporatic chirping there may be as short in the transformer and that is not safe.

It might be that one of the bearings on the hampster's wheel is going bad. I'd let it go for now. The only risk is that the hampsters get massive quads from the extra force needed to turn it.
If your into fixing those kinds of things yourself, like I am, and don't mind cracking it open, check the capacitors inside your charger. Electrolytic capacitors are prone to failure. My power adapter for my XM Radio did the same thing, when I opened it up the capacitors had burst and were leaking. It's a cheap fix.
Or you could just buy a new charger, lol.
Voidwarranty is definetly correct my knowledge of pcs says thats a capacitor you would have to be willing to solder but it would be easy its a common problem with cheap graphics cards or motherboards

Bought a brand new Nexus 7 and it won't charge unless I twist it put pressure on it. Is this a common problem straight outta the box!!?? I already returned it once today because original one I bought had been open.

Same here. Except I'm not forcing it in plug it in it shows not charging but it is. Go Asus. U suck.

No problem here, just to make sure u use the provided USB cable and the provided power adapter
my usb cable is messed up. The small connector - the plastic piece that has the usb symbol on it is loose and it just comes off.. I dont really want to return the device just for that because mines is charging fine but still... it's kind of a nuisance.
So my wife dropped her phone...screen isn't cracked, I've got her using my old note 4 for now, but wanted opinions on what is going on and whether I can fix it or not.
Thanks!

The display ribbon cable might have gotten dislodged. Google ifixit. There should be a guide on how to open the device. See if you can re-attach the ribbon cable.

Cool, that's what I was thinking too, I'll give it a shot.

I had something similar happen. OLED screens can have this "bleeding" effect when dropped. Mine started off fine after a drop and progressed to unusable like that. I ordered a repair kit and a screen with frame and did the replacement myself. Just look on Amazon and make sure you get one that says it's made for our model: the frames are slightly different and the cable to connect the buttons near the bottom of the screen connects to a different place on the strip on the side. These words make more sense looking at the inside of the phone ;P
