Rarely my battery does not charge, stays at 5%
Interestingly in TWRP I mark that amount of degrees Celsius of cpu
Any ideas?​

Exact same issue, exact same numbers in TWRP. This seems to have invariably happened to other users in the past (here's one thread), however there is no clear solution and any of the ones I've tried don't work.
You should be able to get it charging if you boot the phone into recovery, from bootloader mode, while already connected to a charger. If I do that, the phone will charge, but only that. In addition, it will only ever charge up to around 85% - and according to my USB multimeter, the charge rate drops as it gets closer to reaching that 85%.
Everything about this suggests it's a hardware issue that's been coming up a lot on the X Play. I haven't found the solution myself but I'll update you on how things go. I'm about to try restoring my stock firmware and will see if that solves anything. In the meantime since I couldn't afford the downtime, I decided to move on to the Moto Z Play and I love it. Significant improvement over the X Play/2015 gen.
There are a couple people selling X Plays with broken screens for cheap on the local CL so I'm thinking of getting one of those, doing a switcheroo with my working screen and then finally selling it off after that.

I had this issue, I get fixed it, but not sure how.
I'm going to explain what I did to fix the issue.
Unmount phone (screwdriver T3).
Disconnect the 2 battery connectors.
Plug usb charger, you will see the white led on.
Disconnect usb charger.
I use a contact cleaner spray around usb connector (also in the bottom, I move up a little the board).
Clean the spray and wait a little to be sure there is no spray.
I move a little a block (I don't know what it is) at the left of the usb connector, has 2 little switches.
In the case there are a few metallic contacts, I move up to make sure the contact press the switches.
Connect the battery (2 connectors)
Mount the phone.
Now everything is working fine.
So seems to be a bad contact

USB port does not work, any way to fix or root?

So for some reason my USB has stopped working and i can no longer connect to a computer or charge the phone.
I've already purchased another phone so i'm trying to repair this one to use as a backup.
I took the phone apart and the USB port looks to be in tact without any problems, does not appear to have any loose connections or broken connectors.
I did find what looks like maybe some type of corrosion that may have seeped under the tape and bridged two connections on the board.
The phone works perfectly fine except for the USB port, as long as i use a charged battery the phone does everything is has been able to since i purchased it the day the EVOs came out.
So my question is, does anybody know a way to root with hboot 2.16 without using USB? The only method I found to root was the most recently beta released version located at http://revolutionary.io/ which requires a connection to the computer.
I found a possible fix for usb not working and in order to try it out i need to have a rooted phone.
Does anybody have any type of schematics for the EVO? Showing pin outs, etc?
Here's a picture of the section i'm most concerned about, so maybe i could possibly bridge the connection if for some reason it was damaged:

I'm pretty good with electronics and have no problem soldering connections, i do it all the time with traffic signal electronics. Just wondering if someone knows where a schematic or something would be?
Any ideas guys?
Please don't waste a post by telling me to file insurance claim, I did that already and already have a new phone, this phone i want to try and get working so i can have it as a backup in case something happens with my current phone.
Thanks for all the help in advance!
I wanna know the same thing my EVO will charge but won't connect to the pc for some reason.

Oddest thing! I came to the forum to post about the same problem. I just noticed that I cannot mount my phone to my computer anymore. I did not change ROMs or anything. It was working before.
It will charge but when I plug it in my computer says an unrecognized device is found and that's it. It won't install it and just gives me an error on the PC. This occurs on my desktop, netbook and work computer where I used to be able to mount.
Not sure about any schematics or is any exists for this certain occasion but with the problem you have there I'd say if your experienced enough you best getting brand new charger port from ebay rather then fixing that busted one. you can get a good OEM charger port for $5 on ebay
To everyone that says they can charge but no data connections via usb. We busted our ports somehow guys and girls... It's not aofwatre. Bootloading problem etc.. It's hardware. Known issue if I recall as well.
Also you should try to sand the corrosion with a fine grit if you can. Or maybe it was bridged and you fried something. Have you seen any burnt parts on the boars?

Is there an official post regarding this "known issue"???
Or is there a DIY fix for this? It is quite annoying to transfer files on and off my MicroSD without a USB connection.
No but I have heard people taking their phones in due to USB port issues and said that the people said it was a known issue. As I recall if you look into it you should find that there is alot of problems wiht people and USB port issues.
Yeah i still haven't been able to figure it out, got busy with work and didn't have time to mess with it until just now.
I'm going to order a new usb port and solder it on and see if that works.
I will update this thread with my results, should be in about a week.
had this same problem try a different usb cord that was my fix

Broken gold WiFi tab inside of N7

Ive had the 0% battery issue for the past couple of days, so I started reading multiple threads about the battery not charging issue when I came across @winter128 stating he took the back cover off and noticed the batery cable wasnt even plugged in. I did the same and noticed the exact same thing. Evidently the battery cable does not have any locking mechanism, so it works itself out. While I was pushing the battery cable into the slot, I accidently broke one of the (2) gold tabs that are the WiFi. I put the cover back on, powered up the N7, and now my battery says 100%. WiFi seems to be working just fine also.
Any ideas what this additional tab is for?

STEP 5 is where it says these tabs are for WiFi

arm chairing thus one
if it's for wifi it might be for an external antenna hookup
have you tried to see if nfc is working?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
mine broke too
the only difference I took out the other side of the wifi contact. My N7 (8gb) is having the "I don't wanna charge if i'm at 4% or less" issue so I crack it open and do a 'hard' power cycle the battery. IDK if it will have issues yet, it's still charging. If it does I'll sell it and get the 16 or 32.
umm.. antennas work in loops. the two contacts are probably the loop around the back cover.
update #1
I RMA'ed it back to Asus. Wifi sig dropped. I need it to work 90 ft from AP (no solid walls) for work, it didn't. At home it'd work only in the room the AP was in. I'll post the results from Asus repair if they deem I need to pay and how much. Just so ppl know what to look forward too. I informed them I had a "spongy" screen too. So, IDK if that will effect my repair bill.

I have just opened up my nexus 7, I got one for Christmas but noticed the wifi signal being very weak. Tried everything on my router but no luck, so brought a plastic pry tool and opened it up tonight and I notice where the two wifi antennas should be both are missing. There was a s/n sticker just above the where the antenna should be and stuck to the sticker is what I presume is one of the antennas so will be arranging a warranty repair tomorrow

The MAXX is a fragile little thing.

I got a little frustrated with the MAXX today. I gave it the OK Google Now command with screen off and Moto responded just fine, told her to "Play some Jazz" and she's like, "OK." Then silence, nothing, no music, I don't listen to Jazz because I like it, but because it calms me down and the phone at that moment gave me the opposite affect. So, I picked up the phone, and manually started Google Play Music and got my Jazz going, and tossed the phone away. It was a light toss about a foot off the ground onto a blanket I laid while I was working on a piece of furniture in the house. An hour later I picked up the phone to stop the Jazz (Chromecast to TV) and nothing, black screen, I immediately thought it was a great time for an iPhone 6S. But for sh1tz and giggles, I troubleshot the phone. When I put it on the wireless charger, the phone tries to turn on then shuts off. Battery issue, so I shook the phone and could hear something rattling in there (or it could have been just the haptic feedback motor but it felt and sounded like something else was loose). I was thinking, no way that little toss could have disconnected the battery from the motherboard, but it did. For those who knows, I broke my prior MAXX from a drop in the bathroom right onto the tile at about 4-5 feet with no visible damage but the camera started failing. Well, I took that phone apart about a thousand time trying to troubleshoot it so I know this thing like the back of my hand. Here are some pictures I took with my Moto X DE running VZW LP 5.1. The camera sucks, I've been cleared to get the iPhone 6S by the wife, so I'll probably order one from BestBuy here very shortly, whenever they become available and do the SIM swap to keep my unlimited data. Still love the MAXX though, but it is fragile, you sneeze at it wrong and it breaks!
There might have been some shorting while the connection between the battery and the motherboard was loose because the battery showed 0% while it was flashing on and off on the wireless charger. After I plugged the connector back into the motherboard, I started the phone up and was still showing 0% on the battery. I left it on the wireless charger and went on about my day, came back later and it was fully charged.

So it works again, great. Now, if you do get the iPhone and you decide to get rid of the MAXX, I could use it for spare parts.

Axon 7 Repair

I dropped my Axon 7. Though there's no visible damage, the phone will frequently freeze (not turn off) and just continue to display whatever was on the screen at the time. Or the the charging LED will remain on if it was just charging and not actually booted, even if I unplug the phone.
I opened it up and reconnected all the cables, but no luck.
Once it starts, if left gently on a table it will continue to run, but if I jostle it it will likely freeze.
I've been experimenting and know I get the same behavior if the phone is running on AC with the battery disconnected (I think that worked...) , or if I run unplugged with the battery.
Any ideas? Since I already have the phone open and don't much have to loose, I'm willing to attempt more surgery, but I'm not sure how to diagnose the fault. (Yes, past the 2 year damage warranty).
Happy for your thoughts and suggestions!
There was a post on here with the exact same scenario, if I remember correctly it was a cable to the screen/display.
I've dropped phones and sometimes the pins bend slightly so check the connection pins.
I even repaired one that fell into a bowl of milk
found something?

Ok - What do you think about this? I can't tell if this is superficial. ($20 USB microscope I bought for my kids rocks)

Assuming this is the issue, does replacing this cable mean removing the screen? I've heard that's hard...
I can't see from the pic properly but it is possible, the only way to know for sure is to compare with an original condition unit. (Looks better than some I've seen)
I was fortunate enough to have the same phone as a backup so I could check in my case.
Just make sure all connectors are snapped into place and no broken fragments in the connection.
I hope you get it sorted

That's in the outermost part, it will surely not cause anything at all...

Nexus 6 Main flex?

So. I have a nexus 6 device and i sent it with a technician for a battery swap (turning of randomly). The thing is when i got it back the phone was dead, the device didn't show any sing of life (didn't boot and didn't even showed a charging animation.), i tought the new battery was the problem but the technician told me that wasnt it. I didn't receive any explanation of what happened to the device or why it didn't turn on.
Anyway. I oppened the device myself and realized that a flex was partly sliced. (the flex conected to the other flex that's supposed to be for the buttons).

Connection cables look okay to me since my nexus 6 didnt have a back at first so ik the battery maybe be dead but its also super dirty or it could also be a software problem

You can usually find spare parts like this cheap on AliExpress - but it may take a long time to deliver.
