Yeah, they don't show anything about removing the bottom piece
Yes they do.
Once you got all the screw off it just un-clips

"All the Screws" ? do you mean all the ones under the back cover?
Well since they are the only screws that show on the phone.... yes.
Remove the back cover, there are a load of screws.
Like in the pics and like you can see on your very own SXS
i wonder if the phone boots/works without the bottom part, don't like it personally and perhaps a blanking piece could take its place. perhaps someone could try this if they are opening the phone anyway?
The Mic is in that part so taking it off would make your phone useless for calls
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
the antenna is in the bottom part so thats not an option
Edit : way better tut with bottom part removing in step 18-20 :

I would like to remove the plastic from the antenna, not all the bottom part! understand??

only the black piece
Yes, We know for certain it is a cap on the bottom, I want to know how to remove just the cap.
Ha my bad, i tought you ment the whole bottom
Edit : there are no pictures but i get the feeling it is easy removable since you can by it as a single part : http://www.mytrendyphone.co.uk/shop/sony-xperia-s-197538c1.html
Anyone else have problem with this plastic cover being a bit loose and making noises under pressure? I would like to fix it somehow instead of giving it to service for 2 weeks... This is a disgrace to Sony for making such a cheap piece in their flagship phone...
mine, in fact I want to fix it
waiting for a guide to put off the cover
UP, i found a complete guide!!

I'm sure it can be reused. That doc is for repair centers so they have a higher standard.
When u DIY u can surely reuse.
Did anyone try removing the bottom cap? I'm also eager to remove it but im a bit scared that it wont fit tight anymore if you put it back on.
not yet, I'm waiting to change firstly the screen(yellow tint) and after, maybe, i'll try to fix bettere the cup

Already posted somewhere in the end of a long thread but thought it needed a post of its' own.

Shows the location of all components.
P.s. My 2 cents on the whole matter, I think HC was rushed in order to launch with crappy drivers etc. Fingers crossed for ICS!
Cheers!
Well, I see stereo speakers.
Looks like they had to break the bottom inside to open the tablet. Look there on the botton.

There are four black holders each held in by a single screw. I don't know how you would open it without breaking it.

Sounded too spacial to me to not have something going on...
>There are four black holders each held in by a single screw. I don't know how you would open it without breaking it.
Looks like the two (not four) slider clips are designed to break off the mushroom heads upon opening, which would be for anti-tempering. Assuming they aren't screwed down tight, I suppose you can slip in a small pick to push the clips to the right to disengage.
Anyway, you don't actually need them. The text says the bottom is held together by adhesive. The plastic clips on the top & sides are sturdy enough to hold the halves, as long as the bottom doesn't move around.
Would be nice to see a complete disassembly to see how it's assembled. Although the problem with complete teardowns is that it's usually a one-way street.
Gak, just noticed the dual speakers were CLEARLY mentioned already. Yeesh.

So I broke the glass on my HTC Rezound, I just finished replaceing the glass, and Im putting it all together again, but I found these two metal clips that i didnt notice when I was taking it apart. They are preventing me from putting the back back on the phone.
Here are pictures. (replace xxxx with you know what.)
i282.photobucketxxxx/albums/kk264/thchamp3/2012-06-09_17-10-41_961.jpg
This is the underside of the motherboard directly under were they are.
i282.photobucketxxxx/albums/kk264/thchamp3/2012-06-09_17-13-13_964.jpg
It would seem like they are supposed to be bent down so they go under the motherboard and make contact with those two metal pad things, but I know metal breaks easily when bent and I want to make sure first.
Thanks.
Bump, Please help. I'm sitting her with a half assymballed phone.
you're bumping a thread after 18 minutes?
patience is a virtue my friend.
before attempting something like this I would of gotten as much info as possible.
plus when taking something apart take as many pictures as possible so you know how to put it back together.
all i can do is offer what ive found

Sorry, I was just trying to get my phone back together.
I should have taken pictures of it before I took it apart. I think I got everything working at this point though.
I just bend them down enough to put the cover back on, I figured that if they were for the lights on the top i could test and see if those were working later, and wouldnt have to risk breaking them by bending them. As of now my phone is working fine I havent tested all the lights yet.

I think those are for the speaker for the ear. I could be wrong. I am pretty sure the few times I have taken my phone apart though they are supposed to be that way. Bent down that is.
EDIT: Decided to find the thread for you, that someone posted of internal pictures of the Rezound. He has this shot, which shows them bent down.

Hi guys, just looking at a phones glass and trying to decide whether it's too far gone to repair. I know it needs a new button also. What do you think?

Ouch.
Well anything is possible but depends on how much money are you willing to spend. Try finding a good deal on ebay for the entire front with digitizer, lcd and button like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...058?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337f67fb42

You don't think this can get done with just the glass and not the whole LCD replaced?

Yes it can be done.
Its a hard process search on you tube for movie's.

well anything is possible but from my prior experience with other phones, the adhesive holding the digitizer and lcd together is very strong. When trying to pull it apart it usually cracks the lcd...
So from now on I just usually buy the entire assembly.
The glass is not too hard to replace. I broke mine (not nearly as bad as yours). It took me about an hour to get the old glass off, clean it all up and install the new glass.
Make sure to keep the heat on (I just used a hair dryer) and slowly work your way around. After having a look at the photo I'm not sure the digitizer or buttons will work though. They are both attached by a very thin ribbon at the bottom of the phone, which if damaged won't work.
Holy crap it still works!
Was with some girls at the beach, one thing led to another and i dropped my phone in the sand...was kinda buried in it before i noticed after stepping on it.
phones perfect..just some grains embedded in the gap between screen and chassis along the edges like dirt gets stuck inside keyboard.
wondering how i can take it out.
can service center open and clean it up for me?
surprisingly body doesnt have any scratches and phone is perfectly working ...had it been iphone, would ve snapped into pieces after i stepped on it.
Buy a $5 keyboard cleaner and use it on your phone... It's only air so it won't do damage to your phone and do it while your phone is upside down...
Tech support will charge u an arm and a leg.
do u mean compressed air?
i have one of those lens blowers that i use for DSLR..but i doubt it ll work as sand is moist and stuck between the screen-chassis gap.

I think u might be able to clean that sand with compressed air, but not with toys like u shown, or that thingie the other guy suggeested. I am talking about air compressors on fuel pumps for example, for blowing flat tyres. With that kinda blowing, it just might help.

well i might just go to a fuel pump then.
You could always open the case and clean it. Seems to be pretty straight forward. Check out some of the tear down vids on YouTube.

wouldnt that void my warranty?
seems easy to open up though.
i checked with nokia care and since there was a light leak on lcd at left bottom, they will do a repair on that plus clean up the dirt.
only drawback is that it ll take 3-5 working days...compressed air was $15 for a can and i dont think it ll remove the sticky moist sand

If Nokia is going to fix it for free, I would definitely send it back to them for repair. I can't believe the sand didn't destroy the Gorilla Glass.
Hi
Is it possible that the magic cover is loosing color and staining the device?
I have a black N9 with a black magic cover for some time now and today I realized that the back of my device looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I don't think the stains come from something else than the smart cover. When the device is lying around or in use the back is protected by the magic cover.
When the N9 is in my backpack the magic cover is on the front but my backpack is red on the inside.
I also tried cleaning it with a damp cloth and some soap and also some window cleaner. Absolutely nothing changed.
Anybody else having the same issues or has someone any idea what I could use to clean the device?

Hi, I do have exactly the same issue (and suspicion) with my brand new device just after a couple of days of using.
Has anyone resolved the issue? What is the best cleaning method, if any?
Thank you!

I haven't had a problem with this specific case that you guys mention, but I know that I've used goo-gone before to remove color stains. Might be worth a shot.
I've used just normal windex to clean devices when there are issues like that

Yeah, I suppose that normal cleaning solutions might be good.
Try using Goo-Gone. Works like a charm
