Htc one acting strange after repair



My htc one m7 started getting trouble charging a while ago. The USB cable had to be just in the right angle, sometimes it would drain battery with charger connected. I figured the charging port was broken and took it to a repair center. I got the charging port replaced and while the phone was opened up, got a new battery as well.

Today I got my phone back and a number of strange things are going on:
  • The phone will not charge when turned on. It does charge when it's off but with a short interruption about every minute.

  • I have a car charger with an LED indicator that lights up when it's plugged in to the car lighter plug. I can pull it out of the car and connect it with a USB cable to my phone and the LED will go on. :(

  • When I make a phone call the call will start on speaker mode. I have to tap the speaker icon to go back to the normal handset mode.


Especially the second one is very odd. Apparently the phone is providing energy over the USB port. Could be something related to USB otg functionality though. Has anyone experienced something similar before?

Do you guys think I can solve this with through software or is it something that can only be fixed by taking it back to the repair center?
