Hi
My phone is starting to get the dreaded connection problem with the usb port. Currently I have to find an angle where it will actually charge it. Its getting quite annoying now and I noticed that its a common issue and its generally due to poor soldering. I was wondering whether its possible to fix it yourself as my phone has a number of cosmetic blemish's which will cause SE to ***** about how its my fault etc. As my lecturer would say they are "ensuring that the **** falls on someone elses head". Anyway it would be handy if someone could highlight where to solder exactly by just circling it in a set of pictures. Here is a disassembly guide you could use.
Thanks for any responses and I'm sorry if this has been posted before.
n.b. my lecturer was talking about ensuring your code has enough validation etc to ensure that the program doesn't fail as a result of poor programming. I realise that the comment may seem quite dodgy out of context when he was describing defensive programming.
This post might not be much help, but I suppose it'll get the gears turning.
Well, I took a look at it and, at least in my X10, I have some red looking hardened glue blocking the connections to the main board of my USB port, so I can't be very specific here. Though, I imagine you'd have to take this glue out and there should be probably 2 connectors that link it to the main board.

I really need a case that is at least somewhat shock absorbant and a bit moisture resistant since I got a severly grabby fingered 11 month year old son that likes to pull on (sync) cables, drop everything gadgety and generally drool och cellphones in particular.

This one looked like it could be of interrest, but I sure would like to hear from you others if there is some warnings or things to worry about a) the company b) the product
Thanks in advance!
Seriously, not a single one of you on this forum has bought something from gadgetinto? Or are you just unwilling to share the experience due to post traumatic stress because of a horrible shopping disaster? Will I be forced to boldly shop where no hermes owner has shoped before?
would appear so
i like the crystal cases or the alu ones the silicone are annoying
Mike...LOL
Here's the original hermes case thread for some info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273546

Yeah that was a big barrel-o-chuckles.
@galaxys: If you read my first post again, you may magically realize that I wasn't asking about cases, but in fact about vendor gadgetino.
ooops...OK
your title thru me a curve while I was laughing at mike's pic. Maybe U should magically change the title to "vendor gadgetino"

I have found one replacement on ebay LINK
But I am not sure how to replace it. Is it a big problem? Have anyone look inside X10, and can anyone tell me how to do this!
THX allot!
U need a hardware specialist for this....tough job
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Thank you for your reply, I searched on the internet and found that it is a difficult job, but I am willing to try.
Ill picture every step, and if i succeed Ill post it here. Wish me luck!
Did you look at McKebapp's disassembley guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668132
I FIGURE IT OUT!!
This is not as tough as I think! I opened my Xperia and foud out that it is possible to replace only speaker without replacing "Receiver FPC" flat cable.
On eBay you can found this earpiece for a couple of pounds.
Now, when you open your xperia, you must be extremely cautious and separate speaker flat cable from your display. After that, you will need to separate speaker from rest of the flat cable, like what I have done on this picture. You will see connection solder points. Thats toughest job to do, to solder new speaker on that place but it can be done.
I did not receive mine jet, but when I do, Ill post pictures with new speaker...
Hi All,
I cracked sgs3 screen yesterday. The touch screen still worked. I bought new glass and fitted it.
I was very careful in not putting pressure on the digitizer.
I put it back together and now the touch screen wont work. The only thing that it could
be is the light-sensor-ribbons buttons. When removing the glue the the ribbon came away with it.
Could this be why the touch screen wont work?
Thanks in advance

bumping a thread more than once every 24 hours is against the rules. read them.

It wasn't an intentional bump. I've got so much help and advice from this site.
Thanks for helping me with solving the problem tho.....Oh wait a minute.......
you're welcome
I think perhaps you should find a mobile repair shop. Rather than us here at XDA blurting out random guesses as to what it can be, it's much better to take it to someone who can get their hands on it and use their knowledge and equipment to tell you what it is.
If I tell you it's the ribbon and you buy a replacement but it doesn't resolve the issue, you'd not be happy
Definitely this is something that benefits from hands-on troubleshooting.

Hi Guys
So, I had/have this very little insignificant problem (compared to what I have now) about my Amaze not connecting to my PC properly
So, I decided, since I have had some experience in disassambling "things", I thought I'd take a look inside and see if my USB port in the phone wasnt broken, fortunately it wasn't...
However I didnt think of testing another cable(very, very stupid of me), so I concluded that it was my cable ( i found that out by testing another cable only AFTER I had disassembled it)
But thats only where my troubles started, since I have had some experience on taking things apart I figured it wasnt a biggy but when I put everything together again:
Imagine this filling up the whole Screen (without the mouse cursor of course)

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However, the device booted u fine, I could adjust the volume and actually hear the volume been adjusted, etc.
But the screen showed those pixels(I do not know what you call it when that happens, screen pixelating???)
The only thing I could think of is,
Where the black dot is, I thought it was a clamp so I (by accident of course) broke a piece of plastic off revealing metal wires, but the area of the proken off pice is no larger thean the middle of a pin head
I tried various ways, trying to figure out what caused this but I have no idea
btw. I also updated my 4Ext recovery to 1.x..x rc9 (latest release and did no restart after)
I am not sure what happened but ill probably pull an all nighter, trying to fix it (in some or other way)
Any help/advice would be appreciated!
p.s., please dont tell me Im an idiot for doing that, I know I am...it cost me $260...!
Very unfortunate, the main screen of my brand new Oppo Find N is already broken. I haven't dropped it or covered it with dust or sand, just had it in my pocket for 5 days. When I opened it today there was this white line. With the finger i felt a piece of dust beneath the screen - the hinge seems not very safe against dust from the pocket. It reminds me of the first Galaxy Fold which was very sensitive. Very unfortunate. I hope no one else has a similiar issue, I'll send it back for warranty coverage...

Wooooow
Thats a bit concerning…
That is very concerning for sure. I spent a lot of money for the phone and question the type of warranty I will get from the seller I purchased from. I had not even thought about this outcome before and has me very concerned for sure.
Wooh this is not good... Hope you can get some help with the seller or through de warranty....
Cheers
Did you resolve the issue via seller or source a repair (presumably screen replacement?) - I'm looking at a phone with a similar issue - did it need to go back to china to be repaired & did that happen okay?
I'd be interested in your outcome
OP no longer posts in XDA forums hence no matter whether his phone was repaired or not, it seems he moved to iOS.
Device was replaced.
where did you get your device replaced? I have the exact same thing happened to my phone!
Same question. I have a black dot (diameter 0,4 cm ) on the unfolded screen
