Kobo Arc 10HD Ghost Touch - FIX ?! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been using my Arc 10HD as a picture frame for the last few years going all day, plugged in all the time,
and recently I've noticed that the picture slideshow would stop randomly and found out it was ghost touches.
The reason was because the batteries inside started swelling a bit and it was pressing on the screen from the back,
so I took it apart and removed the charging board from in between the 2 battery cells and wired it to regular
rechargeable AA batteries giving me ~ 3.8v each and got it working 100% again ...

Now it's just a matter of ordering new cells, wiring it into the charging board and I should be ok ...
I guess the new cells would have their own charging board, but shouldn't
hurt anything to wire them into the one I salvaged from the unit.
This battery should do, I'll just order 2 of them:

Hemmm i've forget a thing..
The PDA Charges only 1 time at boot.. why?
I've cortocircuited pins 1 and 2, with the male usb jack in front of you and the white plastic in the low side.
very nice ... what's the usb port for?
The phone will only charge once because you will need to short pins 4 and 5 on the mini USB side of your connector.
To simplify, the TyTN looks for this short to decide what to do with the USB connection. You need to trick it into thinking that the USB cable is a charger.
There's another thread on this somewhere else. It might be a bit difficult to solder, but it'll work.
Oh. One more thing: Your phone will charge more than just the once (after a reboot)... It should also charge if it's turned off (standby). Might take a minute or so, but it should work.

Hi.
Expansys is selling a wall charger for HTC Shift. I was going to buy it but if you see the photo the jack isnt the correct one. So....Is the image wrong or are they selling a charger for other product?. I ve called twice and the operator is trying to contact HTC but no answer until now.....

The photo is the second section of the charger for the OQO e2
Expansys mixes up their photo's all the time....
Until now I didn't get any wrong stuff from them dispite that.
(But hey... there's a first time for everything )

Errhhh, it looks pretty much like my Shift charger, except that mine has a magnet around the cable about 4 inches from the connector. The connector looks identical.

Replaced ear speaker and battery, now wifi is weak?

Gday all,
My ear speaker died a few weeks ago so I decided to replaced it and put a new battery in while I had the back open. It all went well and the ear speaker is working now. But since I pulled it apart, wifi strength is terrible. I get 1 bar where I used to get 5. The wifi antenna in printed onto the plastic frame that sits around the battery. I realised that when I replaced the battery a broke off a small component:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It was one of these:
Any ideas on what the component is and/or what it does? The two sets of aerial contacts on both sides of the phone just under these two components seem fine. So I'm a bit stumped.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Question Moisture detected ?

I'm nearly sure no water has gotten near this charging port, what happened was I tried to use another charger and it would charge for me, then I put the old charger back in and then this message popped up, iv used a hair dryer for like 5 mins on it, and still showing up
I can remove the message by force closing Android system, then I reset phone, and still the same,
Any clues? Or just wait it out?

Defective brick or cable? Use the one that works.
The Samsung 25w brick/cable are cheap and long lived. Using them makes troubleshooting much easier... I have three, the oldest is will be 4yo in October, still A-OK.
When It happened on my device it was because some dirt or fluff got lodged in. I used straw, in absence of canned air, to blow it out
