[Q] Screen Replacement - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am getting ready to replace my broken Skyrocket screen and digitizer. I have found a site called www . gounlock . com that has it for $169.99. Does anyone have any feedback on this site? Are they reputable? I don't want to spend that kind of money just to get screwed. If anyone will know, it is the folks here. Thanks guys.

Second question in a month with no replies. I will refrain from asking anything here in the future. In fact, can a mod please just delete this thread completely? Thanks.

TG01 for a Developer

Edit: Closed per OP request. ~TheRomMistress
Hi,
I purchased the TG01 in February and I have lost my temper with it because it's so horrible, but I know there are a few developers out there looking for a real device to work with, so I thought I'd sell it.
I'm looking for anything over £65, It's in good working order with a few scratches on the screen and it's generally in OK condition, but the speaker is quite quiet.
If you're interested please reply to this thread.
Thanks
PS, I will consider swapping phones if you want

Hold that thought, we might be able to buy it from you for the Android project if we can raise the money. £65 shouldnt be too difficult to raise!
Please dont sell it before speaking to us about it.
I'm in Blackburn Lancashire, whereabouts are you?

.. is there an Android TG-01 developer fund - I'll contribute if you're able to buy a cheap TG-01
i'll contribuite too..
I have posted in the Android discussion thread and Alex has kindly offered to hold the donations:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672234&page=25
decide between yourselves if you will and start a donations thread and get the money rolling. Someone needs to pm tjcooper17 to ask him if hes still got it and whether he's happy to wait until the money is raised.
I'll ask dzo (or any developer users recommend with a track record for Android development) once we have confirmation that the purchase is going to happen.
Best of luck
tjcooper17 can you post some pics of the device since you say it has some scratches and also what comes with the phone, is the box, charger and everything with it and lastly is it sim locked to orange or unlocked?
Hi guys,
I'm in Shaftesbury, Dorset. The device is locked to Orange, I'll post some pictures in just a minute and I'll send it with everything I got in the box:
Phone
Charger
Manuals
USB to PC Lead
CD Drivers
I should be able to get you the device including delivery for £70 if that's OK.
Pictures in just a second
I'm having real trouble uploading the pictures at the moment, is there an email address i can send them to?

I think he wants to show us the phone.
Well, I believe him anyways
@tjcooper17:
What about making the pictures smaller?
Than you could place them here at xda as an attachment on your next post.
Sorry to butt in on this thread! We have a donation thread for TG01 Android development :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=804051
.. and a direct link to PayPal :
https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/w...63663d3faee8dc60d77e6184470d51976060a4ab6ee74
.. so far, £15 has been donated
Regards,
Alex.
OK I've compressed them quite a bit, didn't realise how big they were.
thanks for the pics.
The thread for the donations has been closed down by mods.. I'll pm the mod on how we can do this without collecting money on here. The only other way I can think of is if enough people pledge to put money towards the phone, then we donate to you directly.
Leave it with me.
TG01 donations thread closure

"the best thing to do is pledge a certain amount and keep a list
then when you have the funds needed then start gathering the pledges amending the list saying who has followed through"

It appears that the word donations is contentious.
So if we want to do this, the best thing is everyone PLEDGES what they are willing to put towards a device on this thread, once we have enough money and a developer who wants to help, we can pay tjcooper17 someway and get him to send the device to the developer.
Sorry about the mess, I guess these things are there to protect xda users from fraudulent transactions so its probably wise not to ignore them.
On that note, I will say if anyone has any suggestions how this can be done without hickups, please feel free to put your ideas forwards.
Lastly, Endrix is the lead developer here, I have been asked why I am not accepting the device myself, it is simply because I do not possess the reverse engineering skills to take this project forward and neither do I have the time to learn to do so.
I am quite happy to help out where I can and look forward to purchasing a tg01 if android is successfully ported to it which I look forward to being a part of.

Earpeice Volume

Hey guys,
I got my atrix the day it came out and ever since opening it I've had an issue with the earpeice. Unless I have the phone on the lowest volume, the earpeice cracks when you talk to someone..
I figured my phone was defective so I took it to my nearest ATT store and had it swapped out.
same issue..
is it a problem with every phone or did I somehow manage to get two of them that were defective in the same way???
I did a quick search through the forums and I couldn't find anything regarding this but if someone did ask this before I apologize in advance for a repost.
id appreciate any help (and if you could bear with me as I haven't really posted on the forums since like back when I had my HD2 like a year or so ago.)
thanks guys
sorry for the repost guys
after a little more searching i found the answer in the forum..
mods can lock this thread
if anyone else comes across this i found it here

Fixing USB PORT X10 Dis-assembly/Repair

This is easier then you think to do even if your all thumbs, link below.
I'm trying to find some good parts outlets i will get back to that in the days to come and post links.
Also I/you will be putting more links/info in this forum for fixing these Related problems.
If you know of Good links for parts,manuals,videos an How to's this will help. But Please only links relative to this forum thank you.
If your out of warranty or you did something like rooting an they know then this is your only option and it's FREE except for the parts "if any" an tools.
If you rooted your phone and they don't know then there are solutions in the forums to get it back to lets say "warranty mode" and then just send it back too Sony.
Try going back to Stock thought PC Companion/Factory reset
To do a factory reset start with your phone go to menu/settings/privacy/factory data reset then reboot all should be back to stock. Then on your Pc go to Sony Ericsson program/Update Service and follow the instructions and do a software repair. Be sure that your Sony software (PC Companion and Update Service) is up to date. Or try these links below.

PLEASE PEOPLE USE THE THREAD SEARCH
It's easier then posting AND keeps the forums lite and clean. Thanks goes to the Members that help. Subscribe to that post so you can find it later and/or copy the link and past it in Notepad/Wordpad on your Desktop/Documents.
LOL I still have links from 2008 in my XDA Notes
Please remember to Thank all with the Thanks Button in Threads an Videos
Thanks for your efforts and thanks for starting this thread. Your comments confused me. First, you have to know that the search function only works if you know the exact phrase or thread you are looking for. Second, who would know to look in the disassembly thread for this specific problem? Not the average member.
My advice to you, since you opened this thread, is to support the members who found this solution through your thread. Obviously the disassembly thread is going to confuse or go outside the skill set of most of us. It's kinda your responsibly for starting this topic and being the OP.

Your right so as you can see all keep updating and we will see if it helps. Some of the forums are quite old. But I've saved my links to the forums in my XDA notes on my PC from way before I became a member.
thanks for your help i try tonite to make a video or take picks of me changing the micro usb port...
best regards
If and when you do that please post them in this thread and when i can i'll Incorporate it in this thread Thanks.
I don't think most people are going to be able to replace it without some specific soldering/de-soldering tools...I got quoted $85 at a cell repair shop for parts and labour (I asked about just replacing the USB port, but last time I was on these forums, I think some people were saying it was something else causing the problem, so there's no guarantee that's gonna fix it). If you don't have access to the tools already, it's probably going to be cheaper to just take it to a repair shop.
The tools are cheap just remember to get a good soldering iron for electronics (low wattage) and some good solder.
I will be updating my tread with some how to's

I'm gonna try to do a solder reflow, but it seems too dangerous to do in an oven, will buy a heat gun over the weekend and report back.

I watched that video too. I have an X10 with the same problem and have been wanting to do a reflow. Let us know how it turns out, with temps and times please.
Thanks
Tried using a heat gun because it seemed like a bad idea to put inside a normal oven,and it didn't fix anything
I got a new phone though, so if anyone can give suggestions on what to try to fix it, I'll try it. I don't really care if I break the phone since I'm not using it anymore. I figure I should help you guys out however I can cuz everyone on this board helped me so much with my X10.

[Q] Information about Ulefone U650

Hello all,
I'm posting this in hopes of getting a little information about my Ulefone U650. I contacted merimobiles.com about my phone because I'm in need of some repairs. Long story short, I feel like they're trying to take advantage of me. I asked them for the name of the manufacturer so I can speak with them directly and maybe get the parts I need to have my phone repaired. This is what the representative told me they were going to have to do anyways because the phone isn't as new as the other phones they have available. Anyways, In order to cut out the middle man, I'm opting to fix the phone myself. I just need the parts. I've looked online for any information about the manufacturer and I can't even find a name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is in the wrong spot. If so, please move it to the correct location, moderator.
