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.

The speaker on my Razr is no longer working, it had been intermittent for a while (working for a day, then not working for a few) but it hasn't worked at all this week. Occasionally a hard reboot (power button plus volume down) will make it start working again but its also been a while since that has worked.
I've already exchanged one Razr for a speaker not working and Amazon won't exchange the phone again for the same issue. Instead they want to offer me credit towards a different phone. Since I got the Razr during the penny sale, that doesn't help me much.
Has anyone seen or heard of this issue before and are there any fixes? Do you know if its a software or a hardware problem? I love the phone, its just very frustrating that the speaker doesn't work.
I may have the same problem..
Is it only the back speaker which is down ?
Sorry but so far my only (and no-efficient) solution was hard reboot
Yeah, its the rear speaker. Hard booting sometimes works but not always. Seems more like a hardware issue because I can tap the speaker when it stops working and it will sometimes start working again.
Having the same issue, the main speaker sometimes gets turned off (especially when micro usb is inserted, and then pulled out).
What usually helps is to gently press on the silver MOTOROLA logo on the top of the phone (in the middle of the logo).
So looks like when inserting/ pulling out micro usb cable, somehow something gets moved inside, so the contacts are shifted, which is screwing the speaker)????
Looks like will go back to the store :-( if this continues.
The ringtone speaker is glued to the backplane of the phone.
It's connected via two spring loaded connectors. (Dumb solution imo)
I believe some electrical contact cleaner could solve the problem.
Must be one WITHOUT oil! The oil might enter the lens.

My suggestion for a fix is this:
Step 1:
Remove plastic backing on the camera. Carefully!
You don't need to remove the entire kevlar backing.
(As you can see the backplate was made very ugly by the ifixit crew)
Step 2:
Hold the phone like the picture, and apply a miniscule amount of contact cleaner here, the idea is to make the cleaning solution hit the two springs and contact pads.
Step 3:
Tap and press the area around the speaker carefully, the idea being to rub the connectors slightly while wet.
Let it dry and keep it lying in this direction, you don't want this stuff in the camera!

I take no responsibility for any damage, this would be a last resort type of fix if you can't get a warranty claim for it. This obviously voids your warranty completely too.
a useful guide from our chinese friends to disassembly the Xperia S.

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

So I left my precious Galaxy Note on the back on my dads truck, the car that he will only drive 10% of the time, and then today he drives it. I go out to get my phone and realize he took the truck. I was like "OHHHHHHH *swear words*!!!!!!!!!"
I went out and looked for it and found it on the side of the rode face down with the screen protector off. I had a simple flip case on it, but I wasn't able to find that.
I am ultra sad right now, but there is a lot of hope.
A strange thing is that the battery was still in it and the back of the phone had absolutly no scratches on it.
I turned it on and I could hear little startup sounds like the new gmail message one
So I guess that is good, but I still have this broken screen .
So the reason I am posting this is because I want to know if I can get it fixed with a kit or something. I am assuming I have to get the LCD and polarizer because the screen is cracked into little bits as the picture showed, and I can pick out each of those bits pretty much.
So much for gorilla glass
Gorilla glass is not for a phone dropping off a moving car....
Also p.m. me I have a spare backing for the note brand new

wait, you left the phone on the back of his truck.....you say that like its normal like one would put it on their dresser or something. So you normally leave your phone in the garage on a vehicle?
Looks like someone ran over it. too many impact points on the glass from pressure applied, rather than the initial smack on the ground.

Yay, I am kind of thinking that too, but the back of the phone is completely perfect.

The rubber of a tire running over the side with the battery aint gonna cause a lot of damage scratch wise... the part facing the concret is another story.

Well to put it short, I replaced the screen myself, and dust seems to have gotten into the back camera, I've tried blowing it, vacuuming it, tapping it but nothing has seemed to have solved the problem. Is there any other way to fix this without having to purchase another camera replacement, which is around $40?
Here's an image of it

Isnt the dust between the camera module and camera window(which is part of the phones rear housing.
Ive had a look at the spare camera I have here and there is a small gap between the chrome housing and the black circular thing that sits on the lens.......is the dust somewhere in there.
I thought the camera innards would be sealed,but maybe not.
Youd have to unstick the camera module and clean that and the inside of the phone housing,to see if that helps.
Can you post the link where you got the camera module for $40 from,as there people on here looking to get them.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hi yeah, do you know how I would take the camera apart? There isn't a seal around the gap in between the actual camera lens.
The phone housing itself is clean, I've cleaned all of it and replaced the screen as well, but however pulling apart the phone has lead for the dust to actually get into the camera itself, and stick there, hitting it doesn't even take it out anymore.
A while back with the same problem I found a $40 camera on ebay, obviously they're all aftermarket, so if there's nothing wrong with the actual camera, there's no need to buy an aftermarket part, but I'm slightly picky with these types of things and I want to get it replaced or fixed.
Thanks for the response.
Some people have said they are $100+ but the only price I seen was about $60.......but the seller had no stock,and maybe never will.
I would try to flip off the chrome box cover thing and see whats under there.
You could buy my one,but donate the money to this site somehow.

So I took the plunge and upgraded to the LG G2 from a Samsung SIII and over all I enjoy it. The one thing that I will miss most is quickly swapping batteries in and out on the go and having a fresh full charge.
I pulled the back off of the G2, and the battery is still looking a big difficult for quick replacements. I'm a bit nervous to dig into mine (it is under an hour old) but I found a picture of the BL-T7 battery removed here: http://gsminsider.com/2013/08/lg-g2-bt-t7-3000mah-battery-hands-on/

Interesting. It wouldn't seem to far fetched to make a quick dongle out of the power terminal tether for quick swaps. Also cutting every other plastic snap latch from the housing back would make the thing come off with ease.

you may need to mod the housing... there is very little room to work with. They crammed as much as they could in that tight area. Personally with a 3000 mah battery I don't see the need. Just replace it after a year or two and keep on trucking.

As Joshua posted, I don't know why you would even bother.
The battery in thi sphone lasts over twice as long as most other phone's I've used.
So far on average im getting over a day and half and in some cases 2.5 days even with 4+ hours of screen on time
I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone actually did any modding, or if they changed the battery or anything. Let us know what happened!
