I need to buy some of the T5 4mm screws at the top of the M9. Do you sell them. Also, what size are these screws (M2, M3, etc )?

HTC One M9: Mic and the headphone work only when I make a pressure on the screen.

Wed, 14 Oct 2020 02:16:19 -0700

Hello, I got an HTC One M9+ device. When making phone calls, people can hear me only when I shift to the loudspeaker. The other mic and the headphone don’t work at all. But I realised that, when I make a pressure on the right bottom of the screen, as long as I keep pressing, they both work fine. What may be the reason, any guesses?

(Sorry, I had to choose M9, because M9+ is not listed in this site.)

HTC One M9: HTC One M9 is Dead to The World

Wed, 01 May 2019 07:44:36 -0700

Hi,

My HTC One M9 is just, well, completely dead. I have switched to another phone at this point - looks like I switched just in time. I had done nothing before but try a software update (which miraculously failed) and after that the bootloader locked the phone. I left it alone for a bit, and when I came back to it, the thing was completely unresponsive. Not even the PWR+VOLUP or PWR+VOLDWN+VOLUP tricks work. It can’t start at all.

EDIT: I should clarify - it doesn’t seem to charge either. The notification LED stays off, and absolutely nothing happens.

Is there any way to repair the phone?

Thanks

HTC One M9: HTC One M9 - Reception & Call quality problems.

Wed, 11 Jul 2018 10:18:04 -0700

My problem:

- Sometimes I do not get call reception in my home (people call me but I do not hear the phone ring)

- When I do talk to people on the phone in my home sometimes they say my voice comes off 'muffled'...not clear.

- However, when they tell me my voice is muffled....I still hear them perfectly.

What I've done to try to fix:

- New SIM card

- Various factory resets

- ****My HTC Desire 530 has NO issues in the same conditions in my home.***

- Talked to my cell phone provider already. Again, my HTC Desire has no issues in my home.

Questions:

1. Can a faulty antenna be the cause of a person hearing me as muffled .....while me still hearing them perfectly?

2. Could this be both an antenna and a microphone issue?

Any suggestions, advice? Thank you

HTC One M9: Burned out motherboard cableon HTC one m9?

Sat, 09 Jun 2018 09:24:41 -0700

So I disassembled my phone to replace the screen and frame assembly, and when I unplugged the motherboard connection cable (the one that goes from the upper daughter board to the motherboard, runs over the top left corner of the battery) something shorted and a circuit on the cable burned out. I have no idea why this happened, since the battery was completely depleted. I'm replacing the cable, but is there anything else I should worry about here?

HTC One M9: After Battery Swap on HTC One M9 Camera Stopped

Sun, 09 Jul 2017 14:23:50 -0700

I have an HTC One M9 and the battery was no longer holding a charge for more than an hour. So I ordered two new batteries, and the second one work. I have wonderful battery life now.

The problem is, every time I try to access the Camera app, I get an error message stating that the camera has stopped working.

I believe that while reassembling the HTC One M9, after the battery swap, that I must not have reconnected one of the connections correctly, hopefully, on of the ribbon cable zero insert force connectors. From watching a couple of tear down videos, this is most likely the daughterboard to the motherboard connection. Which of the zero insert force ribbon cables inside of the HTC One M9 is the connection for the camera/daughterboard? I think it is the top one on the left side as you look at the camera innards with the back cover off.

HTC One M9: LCD display connection problem?

Tue, 17 Jan 2017 17:46:31 -0700

So after replacing the charging port on my M9 the screen started acting up. It worked at first then only the backlight worked. After reconnecting the lcd cable a couple times its working now but any downward pressure on the screen causes it to flicker, fade, spazz out colors and eventually turn black, it goes back to normal if you remove the pressure

Is the an explanation for this? I was told by a local repair shop that the lcd cable was fine as most problems are either the screen works or it doesn't.

Should I just leave it like this? I can't use a case as the added pressure of a case induces the issue, but without a case its like new. Very annoying.
