Huawei P8: Unknown component in the lower right side of the usb connector

Tue, 26 Feb 2019 08:04:36 -0700

Unknown component in the lower right side of the usb connector.

More precisely, if you put the motherboard facing the writing of the version up, we have on the lower right a single component connected to a SMD, the component has the characteristics of a black square with a hole with a golden outline.

What's this?

it is also found on the signal card connected to the motherboard with the antenna.

Huawei P8: Why is my phone taking pictures when I stop the alarm?

Tue, 18 Dec 2018 05:08:49 -0700

A friend of mine has Huawei p8 or p8 lite (not sure about it) and sometimes when he is turning his alarm off, a message pops and says the exact time he has turned the alarm off after it has started (If the alarm is set for 08:00:00 and he stops it at 08:00:45, it says 45 seconds and the camera automatically takes a photo) is there a way to make the camera stop taking photos?

Huawei P8: Sudden battery drop, 70%-->0%, on newly replaced battery

Thu, 04 Oct 2018 03:25:28 -0700

I have replaced my battery with what should be an original battery for the Huawei P8 GRA-L09, battery nr: HB3447A9EBW.

After having assembled the phone again I experience some weird issues with the battery level dropping from 50%, 60%, 70% or even 100% in an instant. I have tried calibrating the battery by letting it die completely, recharge to 100%, let it drain completely again and recharge to 100%. I have tried different battery calibration apps and a factory reset - nothing helps.

I contacted the company I bought the battery from and got a replacement - still same issue.

Unfortunately i damaged the original battery when taking it out, so i cant use that as a reference.

All stats seems to be similar on the new batteries as on the old one, but for some reason the width of the new battery is a few millimeters smaller than the old one, meaning that it does not fill out the space completely. Has anyone else experienced the same?

Any suggestions on what my problem might be will be most appreciated!

Huawei P8: Why can't people hear me on the other end even if I am screaming?

Fri, 20 Oct 2017 04:53:49 -0700

I have been having audio issues with this P8 + Huawei phone every since I got it where the person who I am speaking to says they can barely hear me even after adjusting the sound on the phone. It's weird how on my other lower ram phone people could hear me perfectly fine, now with this phone people say the audio is muffled and like I am talking from a very very far distance when in fact the phone is close to my face and I am literally screaming. Talking with a headphone jack plugged in or while on speaker makes the issue worse. Any suggestions on what the issue could be?

I have broken the screen of my Huawei P8, quite harshly... Is it possible to fix this myself(at a low cost) instead of sending it to a professional repairplace? If not, do you know where I can go to fix this? And how much it will cost me?

Huawei P8: Loudspeaker only works when I recive a call

Thu, 26 Apr 2018 06:29:02 -0700

Hi, my phone fell in the sink, since it didn't fall straight under the water but only few drops fell on it and it was working but I was in a hurry so I didn't check if everything was working.

Turns out my speaker works when I recive a call (when it rings) and when I make a call on speakerphone, but doesn't work when I play music, watch video from youtube ecc

Also my ear speaker does not work at all

The audio jack and mic works fine.

Anyone has an idea of what should I do? should i replace the ear-speaker and the loud speaker or is it a motherboard damage? is it worth fixing the phone or should i just get a new one? Any idea on how can i troubleshoot to understand what is the problem?
