They are there, there is one on the battery and one just inside the USB port, they are the same colour as the phone if you have the black version, and are black for any other version.
EDIT: To the left of the connectors on the battery, and you should just see the one in the USB port iirc

Yeah, there is none. I have the Pink version. where the indicators should be, they arent there. The indents are...but with flashlight it reveals its just the base plastic of the battery shell. I cant say anything about the indicators under the plastic shell though, but the visible ones arent

USB port broken after thunderstorm

My USB port seems to be broken after my phone got sort of wet in my pants during a cloudburst . I didn't realize the phone had gotten wet inside after way to long. I can see a bit of copper rust inside the port. Is there anyway to clean/fix it?
Just give it to a Service Center, say USB port isn't working, don't day it got wet.
Regards.

I think they will see it got wet because there are moisture indicator stickers inside and wet means out of warranty right? It's even worse than I thought, I can't shut down the phone, it will restart and when I take out the battery and put it back in it will show the charging icon flashing the overheating icon
this really sucks, I have never seen rain like this in Holland before

Won't wireless charge!

So I read that this device has wireless charging but I can't find an instance of the problem I'm having. Is there something special you have to enable to get it to charge with a qi pad? Neither the nexus orb nor my og lg pad will charge it. I thought the protective plastic might have caused this but even after peeling it back I don't get a charging indicator. Seems my nexus luck follows me wherever. I got one with a nice display and no physical defects seemingly on the first try. Am I doing something wrong here?

Mine charged wirelessly right away, there was nothing I had to manually enable. I tried it on 2 different LG WCP-700 Qi chargers.
Mine had the same issue, and it was the connectors for the coil on the inside. if you feel like opening the case you can try to clean them. that worked for me or just exchange the unit.

Mine was working and now it isn't as well.
I would check the back and see if it feels like you have space. in the case.
Mine seems to be charging fine on my Nexus 4 Orb.

Can you tell us what tools you used to open the device? I'm guessing suction cups, perhaps from iFixIt? Or did you go the spudger route?
As for cleaning the coils, are you referring to the 2 or 4 gold pressure contacts that are present on the back of the casing once the device is opened/separated?
Not to sound like a ****, OP, but a little searching would have shown you this thread, about the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379718
I used a thin guitar pick and started at the bottom of the Screen next to the USB charging port and slowly opened it to the left side of the screen, ( the Side that does not have any buttons) and slowly went up the screen to the top and keep going till I was able to separate the the device from the back unit. But I caution you to be careful as you can easily break the case as IFixit mentions in.
the 4 connector are the ones, that I am referring to, mine device looked like they were not clean. I cleaned them up and after putting together again the wireless charging works.
hope this helps

Yes same problem with mine. Qi Charging did not work and neither did the NFC, although it did on the first day. Opened it up and cleaned off the gunk off the four contacts and Qi and NFC started working again.
Thanks for the advice... Everywhere was sold out near me. After a 55 mile drive to best buy I exchanged it... Way better than waiting on play store agony. This replacement seems better. Screen so far is the same nice quality and everything actually works. Wireless charging is fine. Good to know that this is easy to take apart. My problem though with opening the device is that I tend to get creaks etc afterward. I did search prior BTW... I guess I didn't look hard enough

I wonder about those units where people have not tried Qi Charging or NFC and how rampant a problem this is.

[Q] Replaced USB Part - Now Back Button and Menu Dont Work/Light

Hey guys. A few weeks go my USB port died and would not charge. I eventually replaced it with this part.
http://www.witrigs.com/oem-charging-port-flex-cable-replacement-parts-for-samsung-galaxy-s4-sph-l720
The USB port is working now, but the menu button and back button are now not working. They do not light up or respond in anyway. I opened the phone back up to double check my work and I cant see anything that isnt installed properly. Anyone run into this? Does anyone know which part controls / powers those two buttons?
When you messed with the phone did you take off the screen for any reason?

No, i removed the back cover; the one secured with 8 screws. Maybe its possible i separated the screen from the bezel accidentally and caused some kind of disconnection? Thank you very much for your response.

That's a good guess as to what might of happen. I've screwed up before when the connectors that have and adhesive to the screen were yanked.

Yea i'll look into that. I was not as careful as i could have been when working with the parts that should be glued back. I kind of had the attitude of "well everything fits back in the case, time to screw it back together" i'll reinvestigate those areas. Thanks!!!
You changed charge port? If so then it's possible that the port and flex cable are bad. the home/menu buttons are on a flex the connects to the charge port flex cable. either its not connected or the charge port flex is faulty.

Thanks. I'll look at that as well.
Moved to Q&A.
Did you ever get this fixed? I'm having the same problem after I replaced the charge port flex connector.

[Q] Hardware issue, please give me your two cents

So I was being a stupid ass and disconnected the LCD cable from the motherboard before turn off the system. Now the screen doesn't turn on.
Here's what I know for sure:
1. The system turns on, I can hear the processor working.
2. Before I completely lost the ability to have it show anything on screen, I tested two different screens and they both displayed something, albeit in weird colors (showed the correct color if I kinda yanked on the cable), so the screen is not the issue.
Here's my question, where do you guys think the problem lies? The cable? Or the connection socket on the motherboard?
Any answer is greatly appreciated.
If you are able to test multiple screens and ribbons with no effect then I would say your problem is the motherboard connection

I haven't test it with another cable, it's in the mail though. I really hope it's just the cable, cause I just got the replacement screen

It sounds like it will be the ribbon then they are very fragile it would be unusual to damage the motherboard connection

the cable just arrived. I am very relieved to say that my stupidity only damaged the cable.

Zuk z1 not charging, heats up very hot.

So basically, the phone randomly stopped charging and when i had picked it up to see why it wasn't charging, it was really hot to the touch towards the top of the phone. Not sure what is going on. Tried different cables. Does the same thing when the phone is powered off. I just ordered a new Usb-C jack to replace the phone inside the phone. Maybe shorting of some sort... Any ideas?
Happened with me once, in my case it was draining after putting a charger. So, I let it discharged fully until it got switched off & then put a charger. It started charging normally.

Did you try with another adapter? Because then we can rule out the possibility of a short circuit.
And, you mean more hot then usual? Because it's a 2A charger it's sure to heat up the phone.
One more thing, if it's a short then there are possibilities of the surge protector getting burnt which is inside you phone. In that case, either, you'll have to replace the entire charging circuit board or maybe just the surge protector (It varies form brand to brand. Hope Zuk has a replaceable surge protector)
Well I tried various combos of power sources and cables. Nothing seems to work. It's been this way for a while. Now I'm just using a backup phone.

Are you using a custom rom? Because once I was using Nuclearom i dont know what happened but after sometime I also got the same problem. So I Just flashed a different rom ( Mokee) and after that everything was fine.

I was on I believe cm13 nightlies. Unfortunately my phone is dead and can't charge/turn on. So I can't flash anything.

The high voltage protector on your circuit board must have been damaged. Take it to a authorized personnel and get it replaced. Nothing else stands a chance and it cannot happen because of a software issue. If it was a software issue then it would be more like there won't be any indication that it's charging and battery percentage shown would be stuck but still the phone's battery will be charging and will stay powered on.

You say it's on the circuit board. So what do I replace? The whole "motherboard"?

No, no! Your USB Type-C port will be attached to a separate circuit board. The board may also include a mic and maybe a speaker too. So there will be a switch just like a MCB for your house, which in case of high voltage will get get burnt and hence break the circuit. Now just replace that board. Or some manufacturers' design allows just the surge protector to be replaced (Which will save you a lot of bucks).

So if I replace the part with the USB-C port it should fix the problem?

Yeah! But before you replace you can ask the technician to examine the board once. Just cross checking (It does no harm)

Big Billion on Flipkart And Great Indian Sale on Amazon are on so i recommend you u to change your phone to poco f1.
There might be the problem with the port of mobile due to which it wont be able to charge up, or there can be some issues with battery as well.
