Guys there is a piece or tutorial that definitively solves the problem of the usb-c port of this device, I like it very much and I didn't want to get rid of it !!

I've thought of many solutions, however, since my my USB-C port seems fine atm, I'm not fidgeting with it.
1st thing I tried was Wireless Charging.
This video above, gave me some hope, but the youtuber has not shared links to buy what worked for him and none of the high-end Qi Wireless Charging receivers I bought worked for me.
After researching a bit and trying multiple Qi Charging Receivers, I read somewhere, Wireless Charging receivers don't play well with phones that offer any type of fast charging, which our phones do.
2nd thing I tried is getting a magnetic cable, which looks something like the image below

However, the peice that went into the phone has quite a bit of thickness and felt if the phone were to ever fall on the charging port it would break the port and generally, I did not like the aesthetics of it, it was too thick. Check this video out if you are interested in it, it's for a similar phone (Video MP4 file)
3rd thing I considered was to DIY a battery case that would connect to the port and a cover that would be thick enough to cover the port and the battery case. Would then have an alternative charging method, like wireless or USB-C. I gave up on this as my port is fine as of now, since I bought a pre-owned phone, it's been working fine.
Currently, I only use an Amazon basics certified USB-C cable to charge the phone, I do not use the company supplied cable at all.
If you want to change the charging port yourself you can search on youtube you will find a video with reasonable knowledge on how to open up your phone and change the port yourself, like this one
The port itself at the time of writing this post costs 309 INR (maxbhi link)
Hope that helps!

there's none, you can fix it, but eventually, it's gonna broken again. The actual problem is the housing, it's put much pressure on the port so it wears so easily, especially when you're using your phone when charging, which most people often do even just for checking the notification.
In my opinion,
Change the port with the OEM original and replace that goddam USB cable that came with the phone,
That cable is the culprit, I use OnePlus dash cable
I was very luck to find a repair service that fixed the internal piece of hardware (I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).
It took the guy approx. 2 hours to complete the job.
Note that he didn't replace the hardware, but fixed the original faulty component somehow instead.
If you order the OEM component from AliExpress or somewhere else and ask a technician to replace, it would take approx. 30 min.
After the job was done, the back of the phone was glued and kept strapped to the case with ribbons for half an hour.
Also I've bought a new cable, a highly recommended OEM one from Amazon. That was when the first signs of the problem emerged.
Now the fast charge is working again.
In the last few weeks of despair, I was applying pressure to the connector when attached to the port, by rising it or pushing it to the side, which only made things worse, since the internal component was absorbing all that pressure.
Don't do that. If the problem comes, try to replace the internal component asap.
One last piece of advice, don't charge and use the phone. Keep it quiet on a flat surface, like a table or chair.
I read somewhere so not sure of truths but.... the story said the problem was the fit being to loose and causing wear... The solution that the guy came up with was to put a small strip of cello tape carefully around the end of the USB c connector making the fit tighter... Seems like it could be a solution... I personally just keep changing the faulty bit.... The phones in a case so no need to professionally restick the back... Changing the part takes about five minutes
This is what I do after usb port is broken
Spoiler: Picture
You only need cutter blade and electricity solatip
So far it's work and my usb port not loose & broken again.
Hope that help

Hey there! OnePlus dash cable fits perfectly? Any issues so far?
I think there is no solution for this problem. I changed the usb-c board 5 times, the last one yesterday. I finally bought 5 more new, seemingly original boards from an Aliexpress seller, for about $ 16 in total. Here is the link to the article, for anyone interested:

Hi all
yesterday, while trying to put my device into my jeans pocket, i left it and it fall down to the ground... No damage at the moment after a first check... everything ok... BUT... after coming back home, i've put it into the connection base and anything happened... i've tried softreset but anything happened too.... so i've noticed, looking at the bottom of the qtek, that the port for the cable/base connection wasn't ok.
Here is the problem.... i get no activesync connection or power charging because the port is damaged... i've found that this port moves in every direction and so it isn't well attached to the mainboard. So i decided to disassemble the device to understand what is the problem whit my qtek.
After disassembling it, i noticed that the port has lost the weld that locks it to the mainboard...
And now??? What to do??? The port is completely detached and i think that there is no way to weld it again to the MB.
I'm out of warranty time too and i think that the warranty doesn't cover this kind of problem even because the technician will understand the reason of the unwelding.... and even because i'm not using my original rom from qtek....
So i thought one thing... is there any way to find a cable to connect the device from the port that i found just under the battery??? Where can i find the right cable??? And will it be usefull to get back again all the functionalities???
Please help.... i don't want to break up from my qtek so soon.... and i would like to wait few months before to buy a new device... (universal).
Hope someone will give me some advices... or suggestions.
Bye.... MINDGAP.
Anyone's got an advice for me??? Anyone can help???
I'm in troubloe here and i would like to understand if i could make my own cable to use from the back door port that i found under the battery cover of my device.
I tried to look in the himalaya wiki page but i found anything about this port.... only connection for the main port... that i can't use anymore because it's completely distroyed....
Please help me i can't believe that i'have to throw away my pocket pc only because of this problem....
What i would like to understand is if i can weld the port back again to the MB or even to give power from the port that is placed under the battery to use it only like Navigator in my car.
Please let me know if i can find a cable or a different solution in order to get my device back with all functionalities... i could even send the device to someone who could repair it and send it back again.
I would pay to have it back repaired.
Hope someone will help.
Thanks and have a nice day!
some images from the disaster!!!!
ok... here u are some images taken this afternoon.... featuring my POOR DEVICE..... terribly wounded.... almost dead!!!!
Hope these images will help you in trying to find a solution....
THIS IS THE SITUATION HERE.......

THE CONNECTOR IS FULLY DETACHED FROM THE MB.... AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BUY ONE BRAND NEW... OR IF I CAN USE THIS ONE AGAIN.......
HERE U ARE TWO IMAGES OF THE MB WITHOUT THE CONNECTOR... AS U CAN SEE.... THE MB IS NOT DAMAGED AT ALL..... AND I THINK THAT THERE COULD BE A WAY TO RESOLD THE CONNECTOR......
ONE DOUBT ABOUT THIS LAST PICTURE.... IS THE SECONDARY PORT USABLE???? WHERE CAN I FIND A CABLE OR CONNECTOR THAT MATCH WITH IT????
LAST PICTURES SHOW THE STATUS OF THE CONNECTOR AND THE CAGE THAT PROTECTS IT.... IS THERE ANYWAY TO USE THEM AGAIN???
I HOPE THAT SOMEONE HAS SOME SOGGESTIONS FOR ME BECAUSE AFTER A SEARCH ON THE FORUM I FOUND ONLY INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONNECTORS BUT NOT IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO SOLDER AND TO BUY A NEW ONE.......
Thanks in advance just for reading this post.... and thanks much more for answering.....

if this is still a problem for you and all else has failed then I would be preperd to try and resoulder the connection for you I do have all the right equipment and I have experance as I have chiped sevreal Xboxs and thay have a fue fiddley bits plus I was traned to militry spec in solderin at EEV but there is no garantee but from what I have seen I may well be able to do the job. You can pm me in here and I will be watching this thred.

Well I've had also this problem once. I have broken this connector off the board with the charging adapter from charger. Anyway it isn't too difficult to repair that if you are a bit handy. Just use a micro-solder and carefuly sold the connector back.
Important:
1. Don't plug the battery while you repair that!
2. Use the rosin to prevent decant the pewter on the pins
3. Use the pewter-suction band to remove the pewter from the connector if is it too much
4. When finished,use a mechanical tools to remove the rest of the rosin. Don't use alcohol based solvents(I have damaged the JoyStick with Isopropyl-Alcohol)!
5. Ensure that all pins are solded separately and no pins are bridged by soldering!
Probably this will result as a Hard-reset,because the repair will take probably more than 30mins without battery or you can short-circuit the backup battery. Therefore backup all your data(WM5-Only RAMdisk).
In the meantime, you could still communicate with your wounded beast say using Activesync over Bluetooth (that will sort out your sync issues and allow you to have an up to date copy of your data). Similalry if you have or can get an SD card you can dunp copies of data onto that too.
Also if you can get your hands on a second battery quickly enough, use the cradle to keep one bat on charge while using the other in the device. Regularly swap over will mean that you can at least use your Himam until you are in a position to solder new/old parts.

Can some one post a topic or a detailed manual on how to disassemble the hima?
Regds Aldo
...
You need to remove the black antenna cover. After that is it easy. Just few screws. Remove all parts in cover neighbourhood(card,stylus,antenna connector cap). Then release both hooks located at the top of the battery with your nail or small screwdriver pushed into the stylus hole and at the volume-slider location. After that release fixings in surround of the card slot. Do it easily and carefully! Otherwise you can break the plastic. You can find also the service manual at wiki.xda-dev,but DON'T do it that way! That procedure is wrong.
Disassaemble
Can anyone send some pictures on how to disassemble the qtek. Which screws do we need to pull out and how do you do that?
hi i did assemble the connector my self , but i m in Egypt , Cairo ...if you like call me on my handy

Today the phone fell from the desk with the charger cable plugged into the phone. Now it won't charge/make a connection unless the USB cable is forced to plug in at a downward angle:

}
If the plug is in any other way, the phone will not recognize it.
This is bloody annoying!!! I can't charge the phone anymore unless the cable is resting on something and I can no longer listen to music in my car (since the road vibrations cause the plug to move around).
So my questions are:
Is there a way to fix this by way of opening it up and soldering?
Is there a way to replace the USB port?
I'm tempted to just ghetto rig it by creating a "lift" within the port by way of a small amount of Gorilla Glue (or similar resin)...but that seems 'temporary' to me.
So here's to hoping that someone else here has had this issue (besides stupid ol me) and happens to have a wonderful solution for this issue. Also, if it matters, I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area. So if you know someone that does this kind of phone repair, please recommend them me. Thanks!
I'll assume you ruled out the actual cable?
Just by experience with other hardware, I'd say either something is bent/broke or the solder joints opened up (most likely this, and I hope it's not surface mount...). No idea how easy/hard it is to open up a HD2, as I've been lucky enough to not have to , but once that's done, should be easy enough to inspect the connector, depending on electronics skills.
i checked the phone with 3 different cables. same symptoms.
yeah...i'm guessing (hoping) it needs a resoldering job. i suppose i should start looking for pictures of the guts.
I have exactly this as well. No desire to open my HD2 up so I've just taken to lying my wallet down next to it when I charge, and laying the wire over it. It's really annoying to have to do, though.
Hello there. Sad to hear that you have got this problem. There is nothing you can do to fix it, yourself. I had this problem for about 2 months ago, when my HD2 suddenly had the same problem, and would only charge when the usb cable was forced in a definite way. The situation is, that the micro-usb "house", solved to the mainboard, is BROKEN from the soldering. Some of the pins, is broken off, and when you push the usb cable upwards, the pins will again make a connection with the mainboard, but when you slip, it will loose the connection...
I send mine in for a repair, but HTC said that it was my own fault. They would not make a repair, unless I paid for a new mainboard. You can see picture from the repair center:
Or see my other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814053.
So what can you do now?
You can open up your HD2, to see the broken traces from usb housing, following this guide: http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked - But you will quickly realize that it's IMPOSSIBLE to solder the pins. It's VERY small, and it's not only metal pins, but also some kind of micro wires, 5 pieces, and you can't just solder them...
The disassemble of HD2 it's not that hard, you will though need to buy some tools.
To get your HD2 working again: Get a new main board. From where? Good question. I looked at ebay, and searched for a very loooong, for a mainboard, but it's impossible to buy one, unless you find a hd2 on ebay with a broken screen, and the mainboard is working, for some small amounts, and change the mainboard yourself.
I waited for about 1 month for a mainboard, but couldn't find one. So i simply bought a secondhand HD2, for a small amount..
I hope this helps to clear up some things. Just PM if you have some questions.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... that's a downer.
I finally got this phone all perfect with the NAND Android.
Sigh... bummer that HTC had to make the USB housing irreplaceable.
That photo is helpful. That's out of my league. I've never soldered anything with that small of a footprint.
I'm looking for broken phones on eBay. Looks like they are going for 100 bones.
I think I'm going to try this one cell repair guy in town next week. Apparently he's a soldering virtuoso.
If that doesn't work, I guess I will have to replace the mainboard with one from eBay and hope that it doesn't have the same symptom I'm trying to rid of.
I will let you know if the repair guy has steady magic hands or not.
Truly truly frustrating...
Ah, surface mount =\ and the one in that pic actually lifted the pads themselves. If yours is anything like that pic, which I'll assume it's close, it looks like it should be possible to bridge the broken connection, but it will require a good quality temp-controlled soldering iron, fine tip, small wire, and excellent soldering skills. If the guy can hand-solder fine-pitch surface mount chips, this shouldn't be a problem.
The "fixed" connections would work, but wouldn't be 100% the strength of original. Some epoxy encompassing the connections and whole rear-end of the jack should strengthen it back up a bit.
So has anyone managed to fix this yet? Also, is there anything out there that can charge an extended battery without it having to be in the phone?
!!!SUCCESS!!!
SUCCESS!!!!*
the people i brought my phone too was able to fix it. it took a couple weeks for them to get their hands on a new USB port (apparently i destroyed it beyond repair). once they got a new one, it was soldered on.
*one slight niggle though: it takes 30 secs to transfer 100MB of data to the phone.
they "warned" me that they were able to to solder one of the pins, so data transfer may not be possible. so maybe the port is now acting as 'USB 1.0'. thankfully the only time i do data transfer is when i put MP3s and videos on it. and the occasional ROM/NAND flashing (which i don't do anymore since Cotulla/DFT's NAND Desire flash).
so besides that's little set back, i can charge/connect my phone without having to worry about losing connection to my computer or car.
but to be on the safe side, i no longer charge my phone via USB. i have purchased an external battery charger along with an extra battery. its been pretty sweet.
I've just see this post, for a couple of bucks, I think its' 70 or so u can get a charging mat, that will replace the usb charging feature. Just an idea.
Congrats! nick2k Good to know that it's doable. By the way it looks more like a rust on the image. What these guys had to say about the probable cause of that?

pk2_76; Mats are using dongles, connected to a phone by the very same micro USB port. While it might reduce the number of plug/unplug events, which wearing off the connector, the dongle itself is quite bulky to keep on all the time, and also might interfere with the holsters and skins. I'm still hoping for a special back cover rumored to be available from HTC with a mat-like charging accessory.
Well I just got one of the mains chargers off ebay, waiting for it to arrive. My port's getting worse so I need it sooner rather than later. Word of warning I guess, treat the connection with care!
A while ago I noticed that my micro USB cable does not fit well on my U8800 and when I picked up my phone the cable the cable always fall out without doing any force. After reading various sites, to decide what would be the best way and after I did it I'm now leaving here how to solve this problem. In my case it was dust and lint that accumulated because of taking the phone in pocket, etc..
Tutorial
You should use a toothpick, previously buffed with a fine sandpaper like the image below. You can use other objects, but with the toothpick you can do it without turning off the phone because it isn't a electrical conductor and you can also sharpen the tip very easily.

You should clean the area paint in blue below:
After this you should give special attention to areas in microusb port marked in red below which is where bolts fits and attach the cable to the port. You should try to clean as much as possible the dust that has entrenched there.
In my case after 5 minutes of hard work this was the result:
Picture missing!!! A lot of dust!
I used the lamp on my bedside table for a better look inside the door. Those black things are dust that came out of there now do not have any slack in the port works at 100% and I can move the phone without any problem.
How to fix female conector by flipswitch5point

Tried this, didn't get any dust :/ but what when I was cleaning it I saw the two little holes in the female side of the port that the clips for the male end are supposed to latch in. Turns out my male end was suffering from... impotence? Lol. I took a needle and adjusted the clips on the cable and it holds fine now. Just posting this for anyone else who's suffering looseness not caused by dust.

Could this be the reason my phone is charging only if I connect the usb cable at a very certain angle (have to use couple of books to arrange this setting)...

Could be, the other reason might be, that your connector is broken at some point.
Try the method above, if it doesn't work i'd contact the support if you still have warranty.

Thanks so much, worked
Thanks my Desire was barely charging now it holds better but still alittle eiffy
really helpful! thanks dude.

One thing that helps to is to have a magnifying lens or pocket loop to closely inspect the connector.
It comes in handy if you are "middle age" and the bifocals don't give you a clear enough picture :cyclops:
On my Galaxy note, last spring, I was noticing an unusual problem of it would either "self connect" with
nothing actually connected (it would make the connect-disconnect sound). Upon inspection of the port
on the device, I noticed what appeared to be a greenish-blue substance migrating from the right most
pins, to the middle pins in an arch pattern. After powering down the phone, pulling the battery, I took a
can of dust off, sprayed the connector, then using a lint free cloth, dabbed in alcohol, I wiped down the
entire inside area of the usb port. After cleaning, I hit it again with the canned air for good measure.
After 2-3 minutes, popped the battery back in, and fired it up. Haven't had any more problems since.
THanks for this! i tried it on my OG Evo 4G works like a charm!
I had this problem aswell on my HTC Desire HD
Thanks for telling us about this. My charger stays in now without popping out on its own.
Took a stanley knife to a toothpick and rummaged around in the usb connector of my phone, it feels a little better, so thanks!
I use a sewing needle on my girlfriends phone when the port gets full of lint. I make sure to take the battery out, not sure if its necessary, but better safe than sorry.
If your cable (still) falls out, bite slightly on the plug.
You're welcome.

Hello,
While listening to music today on my tablet, I noticed my screen was black. I tried turning on and off with no prevail. I could still hear music before I tried to boot into recovery.
After booting into recovery the screen would still not turn on and I no idea where to turn.
My device is rooted and running custom firmware.
Thanks in advance
Let the battery drain out completely or open up the tablet and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes. That may fix your problem. There is a youtube video on that.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Thanks a million!
It worked! I searched on YouTube on how to disconnect battery and it was so easy I was able to do it with a credit card in the front seat of my truck!!!
Thank you again for the extremely fast reply
We are facing this problem in the sm-t580m model - in a few tablets (around 14)
May you pass us the video please professor?
Opening tablets!
I’m not able to post the video.
But I Googled, “how to open tablet” and found some redneck looking guy opening it on his front porch.
I use an old credit card to open it from the edges. And i actually went back to the credit card because the tool I used from a phone repair kit kept breaking.
If you need I can make a demo. Let me know!

After opening, remove protective tape and unplug the ribbon cables (one at a time). A smaller one and a longer one laying over whole battery. Wait five minutes, plug back in, and reassemble case.

Don't use metal prying tool, especially for novices because you will damage the LCD frame and case easily. Do carelessly like the guy in video will easily damage the case.
Remove the battery first is important step because disconnect and reconnect cables may cause a short circuit if you don't insert them properly.
Remove the white and small cable is not necessarily because it connects speakers and home button to mainboard. The main problem of black screen is from a loose LCD cable, like this one, the line on the cable is below the line on mainboard which indicates it got loose and you'll have a black screen.

So someone removed battery cable and other two cables and think it fixes the black screen problem is not correct. What he did actually fix the problem is reseating the LCD cable.
You should discard the OEM tape and use your own tape to secure the black LCD cable, use as much as you can because the connector is too weak to hold a long cable like this one.
Awesome
Thanks for the insight..!
I admit I don’t know exactly what I’m doing, but watched some videos on how to solve the problem.
I do notice though that after the screen blacks out, if I leave the tablet on until the battery fully drains and plug it back in, it corrects the situation as well..? Idk what that is about but thought I’d throw it out there.
Anyways thanks again for your help and insight!!!
Reseat the battery might fix the black screen but 90% of the time it’s from the loose LCD cable.
Normally, I reseat the battery first, plugin and the battery icon doesn’t show up, then reseating the lcd cable is next step. Always disconnect battery when doing reseating cable to avoid short circuit.
Many many thankz for the info Beut, it fixed the black screen on my sons Tab, after opening the tab i checked the lcd cable and voila the line was not straight. I pushed the cable back in,
so that the line was really aligned, tried the tab and got a lot of kisses and hugs from my kid .
So many many thankz from a happy Dad and Son
Thank you, I have been able to recover my T585 too, I reseated the batery and lcd connector and the black screen problem was fixed.
Hi,
I have a Tab M10 tablet. It's a fine and cheap tablet that I will use to control my Smart Home system.
I want to mount the tablet on the wall. I wil use some kind of custom built mounting frame for the tablet.
For permanent power, I want to use the Pogo Pins at the bottom if possible. (the same pins are used in smart docks)
Does anyone know if I just can put 5Vdc on the pins and what is the polarity.
Greetings,

No one knows how to use those pins without a docking station?
Hi, I have the same plans as you, same tablet, same purpose..... bought a 2 pin usb cable for smart watch, same dimensions, the tablet seems to know something is happening as it vibrates a little. but then it does not seem to charge :/ If you ever found a solution, i would be happy to hear it. in the meantime, i'll try to have a look, maybe there a security switch that disables the connector if the tablet is not "locked" in the dock though the two holes on the sides of the pin connectors.
Sorry for not having a solution but rather leaving more questions.
link to the cable just in case : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B08SJBK6ZC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Have a nice day
EDIT : It actually does work out of the box, the positioning was wrong (and the pins have to be in the right position, you can't invert the pins so don't forget to try both sides, i got it wrong and the tablet does not seem to suffer from this mistake) as I was trying to hold it in place. So from what I can tell, you should be good to go with this cable or an other (I could hardly find any so i posted a link but feel free to use any as long as the space between the 2 pins is the same as the one in the link )

I am looking for a similar cable for probably a slightly different purpose. I also want to mount it on the wall but at the same time want to use the tablet as Alexa Echo Show. I have not managed to get the Alexa Echo Show mode on my M10 FHD tablet. On enquiring from Lenovo I was told that it works only when it is docked but the tablet did not come with a docking stating.
Are you using Alexa on your tablet? Does echo show works for you when charing using this cable with pogo pins?
TWIMC: If you stumble over an old Pebble Classic SmartWatch charger cable: the pins fit! After removal of the magnets I implemented it into a wooden mini-easel as a stand, used tooth picks for alignment, works nicely! But (BIG BUT) I wanted it to be charging my Lenovo M10 while using OTG - THAT DOES NOT WORK! If you insert the OTG cable, it switches off the Pogo pin charging. Some idiot engineer thought himself clever...
Alternative is looking for OTG adapters being able to charge simutaneously. rare, but available.

Google brought me here. I got a Belkin adapter ( https://www.belkin.com/usb-c-audio-charge-adapter/F7U081btBLK.html ) for this, but that doesn't work either. I had Just realized it had pogo pins so went looking for a solution. It seems this tablet is a real stinker where otg is concerned. It also will not work properly with my external desktop DAC over USB. For my next tablet I will have to do some research beforehand...
