Does radar have some standard HTC battery? I need to replace battery and need to know exact type.
Thanks!
Help!
So, trying to help out a neighbor friend and I took apart the phone without ANY problem. I couldn't get the original LCD screen to light up again (figured I broke it prying it out) so I bought a new one on ebay. Now, that one won't work. Note: I notice there are a lot of contacts on the phone, and I'm testing it prior to putting all the screws back in and everything. Any idea what may be wrong. I know it didn't 'break' anything (other than possibly the LCD) taking it apart - it was quite easy. Let me know if anyone has a though of something I may be missing or what else I should attempt.! ...and soon!
Thanks

Nice write up. Thanks.

Great info...my son dropped his while standing on a rock pile foundation and it's about 50 pieces (give or take 2). We're going to replace the screen ourselves. It's cheaper to replace the screen then paying the $99 insurance deductible. There's also a video showing the steps but now I don't have to write it all down in order to put it back together.

Figure 1
You will now be able to use your fingers and pry tool as necessary to remove the motherboard. Use your open pry tool and your fingers as necessary and be careful as there are ribbon cables beneath the motherboard that you don’t want to rip or otherwise damage.
Use your hot air gun or hair dryer to heat up the phone and loosen the glue that holds the LCD screen and the touch screen digitizer in tact, and you can begin to use your pry tool along the seam to separate the two pieces. Figure 2 shows a demonstration of this.
Figure 2
As the two pieces separate, the ribbon flex cable will stay connected to the front touch screen. Gently work this ribbon through the opening on the LCD screen trying not to damage the cable.
If you are replacing the screen, gently lift tape at the bottom and work the pry tool around it carefully to remove the LCD screen completely, as shown in figure 3.
Figure 3
Now you will be able to replace any parts on your Motorola Photon. Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.
how to you put the screen back on do you need tape? will the adhesive from phone be enough for the new screen?
The adhesive strips we have on our website will be enough for your entire device.
1. Thanks!
2. Would you know of an lcd that could be substituted for the OEM part to upgrade from penile? The Photon Q lcd is the same size and resolution, but has a different connector.

You need to replace the touch screen digitizer. However, it is recommended you purchase a combination screen (touch screen and LCD) in order to complete a more efficient repair.

Figure 1
There will now be three (3) latches along the top and sides that need to be released. Use a safe open pry tool to lightly press these clips and remove the back housing from the rest of the device.
Once the motherboard has been exposed, there will be two (2) screws that need to be released, one at the top motherboard and one on the lower, shown in red on figure 2.
Figure 2
You can now lightly lift the vibrate motor from the plastic socket, leaving it connected by the wire cable (yellow).
The power button and volume button will have two small flex cables placed underneath the physical buttons. Use a safe open pry tool to softly lift these cables away from the housing. Be cautious, as these are held in place with adhesive. (Shown in green in figure 1)
Two (2) jaw connections will need to be released, one for the touch screen and one for the LCD screen. Lightly lift the back of the jaw connector and remove the flex cable located inside. (Orange)
Use a safe open pry tool to start lifting the motherboard from the device. Be cautious, as there are clips holding the motherboard in place. Release these clips and lift the upper and lower motherboard up. Note that the antenna cable will need to be wiggled loose from the cable fasteners.
Remove the motherboard totally. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to begin warming the front of the screen assembly. Work around the outside edges of the screen on medium heat for about 45 seconds. This will soften the adhesive holding the screen assembly to the housing.
Once the screen is properly heated you can use a safe open pry tool to being lifting the screen assembly away from the housing. Be sure to lift both screens out at the same time.
After the screens are partially released, be sure the flex cables are fed through the housing. Remove the screen assembly.
Use the heat gun or hair dryer again to warm the seal between the touch screen and LCD screen. Use speedy movements for about 30 seconds. Once this is complete, use a safe open pry tool to carefully separate the screens.
You can now replace the touch screen digitizer or LCD screen.
Reverse the instructions above to reassemble your phone.
have you actually done this on a Titan? I thought I read that the digitizer and lcd were bonded together with a resin and could not be seperated.
i can tell u there is no way to do it like u say...
digitizer and lcd are glued together...
but of course maybe iam wrong so please show us a video how to do...

hey guys
well about 7 days ago, after leaving my htc on charge i came back to a buggy lock screen(digitizer) issue! screen seemed like it didn't want to respond
was gutted, after work i decided to twrp recover my system, change kernel etc still didnt work :/ then downloaded a drawing app. to find that a vertical middle section of the screen wasn't responding as my phone is now out of warranty! it was either to ebay to sell it as faulty or to ebay to source parts lol. so i started hunting around and found this can be a common problem, the ribbon cable for the digitzer(which is located near the head phone port on the pcb can come loose! so next step meant only one thing DISASSEMBLE (gulp)
found this handy tutorial on you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90og2HFQUHU (sorry if its been linked before)
so with a window sucker and a guitar pick i slowing persuaded the back off the device(its fiddly but not too much of a nightmare!
i located all the screws and after fighting the copper heat shielding its now in parts
my issues now though, which if anyone can guide me would be awesome
firstly, i am in the uk(european model) i am unsure what screen i need, is it s sharp or a sony?
secondly there are 2 antenna adhesive tabs located on the reverse on the screen housing, one i assume is for wifi, other is gsm etc
the antenna tab is near the capacitive buttons, this is slightly damaged! my question, it looks like it has antenna tracks(can i replace with an adhesive without tracks?
i have add some picture(sorry if my terminology is wrong guy)

hey guys, quick update i ordered the SHARP lcd last night, will attempt to repair it in the next few days
ebay link below(frame and LCD) UK seller: seems a reasonable price at £31.30, worth the gamble i think
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=291107539349&ssPageName=ADME:LC:GB:3160
anyone have any advice about the antenna adhesive issue?
hey guys, quick update screen turned up this morning, will attempt to fit tonight(excited and apprehensive to).
anyway i have purchased some adhesive conductive tape to repair the antenna areas(picture above with arrows). i believe the tape is thin enough to fit correctly, will cut down to match the size needed for gsm antenna and wifi antenna. but it will need folding correctly to allow the ribbons cable to contact correctly.....
i have also purchased some double sided tape to allow me to secure the battery and rear housing. also may use it to hold the volume rocker and power button in place on the chassis
so its fingers and toes crossed lol and a hair dyer at the ready lol
will keep you all updated
new screen fitted all seems good antennas signal is good phew
took about 2 hours all in all....
few tips beware of the power button it will only fit one way!
masking tap to hold the volume rocker and power in place defiantly will make your life easier
few things to note, the ribbon cable connectors on the logic board(s) are very very fiddly to position and lock into place! just take a few minutes on each(make sure its aligned to)
the hot key buttons need to be exactly lined up, there are two dots/guides on the frame(easy to miss), keep all contracts clean from finger grease to.....
i also checked all the contact springing(not sure if that's there tech name lol) i positioned them so they would contact correctly on the back cover when refitted(these are for wifi/gps/nfc). then moving onto removing any old adhesive from the battery and back cover(make note of where the adhesive is along with size, space is tight, fitting new adhesive over old would be too crammed. only fit new adhesive where the old was located now the two halves of the phone need to be fitted back together, this was very straight forward and it clicked into place without any issues then using a hair dyer to get the unit warm, just to allow the adhesive to mold inside
(******have to admit i didn't pre-test the screen, bit of a newbie error******) lucky for me it powered on, no dead pixels
i have ran the following sequence: *#*#3424#*#* in the phones dial-er to test everything(from the screen/WiFi/blue-tooth/sensors etc) just so i could check that its been rebuilt correctly after this i installed CPU z and stability test v2.7(which stresses CPU and GPU under-load) i did this to test temperatures! unit ran for 30 minutes very warm, no problems, allowed it to cool to the touch.
phone looks like new and is currently running perfect i will update this thread if i find any issues
but for anyone wanting to try a screen/digitizer repair its defiantly worth the time and the gamble
Mod Edit links removed
Thx for sharing, it's a helpful tutorial.:good:

If the screen on your Huawei Honor 7 is cracked and it’s not under warranty, what you can do about it is either to live with it, get a new phone or take it to a professional repair store. However, either way isn’t the best. To use a phone with a cracked screen is really annoying, the cost of a new Huawei Honor 7 is too high and to get it repaired in the store costs much as well. To solve this problem, we will show you how to fix it yourself, the most economic way. Firstly, you need to buy a new Huawei Honor 7 screen online, which costs just around $45. And then, do it according to the following steps.

}
Before the teardown, you are several necessary tools, Heat gun or Hair dryer, Philip screwdriver, Utility knife and adhesive tape.
How to replace a cracked Huawei Honor 7 screen
Step 1
Remove the SIM card, Micro SD card and SIM card slot, put them in a box in case of missing.
Release the small screw in the slot that fixes the bezel and the rear cover.
Step 2
Use you fingernail or a card to insert into the joint of the rear cover and bezel to release the buckle and remove the rear cover.
Put the rear cover aside. Let’s look at the most important part of the phone. The screws and flex cables we labeled in the picture are the ones that need to be removed.
Step 3
Before remove other components and install the new display replacement, we need to test the new display to make sure the new display works fine. So, firstly take the old display flex cable and buckle the display flex cable of the new display. Power on the phone and test the display and touch panel.
Step 4
After making sure the new display is fine, the next step is to remove the components at the top and bottom of the phone.
Then, we need to release the mother board. Here, you need to pay much attention to the flex cable we highlighted with a red circle. There is a tiny cover, you need to use your fingernail to lift it and then take the flex cable.
Open the cover and the mother board is free to go. Now the main parts are all disassembled.
Step 5
Use the heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the edges of the screen to soften the adhesive.
Use your Fingernail or tool to remove the broken screen.
Please note that you need to remove the earpiece mesh from the broken screen and install in on the new screen.
Step 6
Remove the old adhesive on the frame and put on the new adhesive.
Now, tear off the white tape on the adhesive and put the new screen on.
Step 7
At last, put the components back in the phone and buckle all the flex cables. Before installing the rear cover, test the functions of the phone to make sure it can work properly.
Install all the components
Test the phone
Install the rear cover
Install the SIM card and Micro SD card
Congratulations! You successfully fixed your Huawei Honor 7.

Would the process be the same if all I need to replace is the lens/glass? Or would it be almost the same with a few steps slightly different? The actual screen and digitizer are working fine (I'm typing this message on them now). It is just the top glass layer I need to replace.

Thanks. I decided that I can't be bothered messing around trying to do it and I can't find anywhere near me that will do it either because they can't get the needed part (even though I said I know where to get it) and don't know how to do it for this particular model. I'm just gonna use it as my excuse to finally get myself the Nexus 6P :laugh:
