Hey Everybody,
I recently broke the flex cable near the digitizer (The flex cable with the proximity sensors and light sensors). But, the break is after the light sensors, so the light sensors and the digitizer is fully working, only the proximity sensor is spoiled. I wanted to ask if it is possible to buy the flex cables and sensors separately, or is it possible to find a digitizer with the sensors and flex cable. And the worst case, does anyone have a spoiled neo or neo v and can sell it to me cheaply, like US$40 to US$60. (My ear speaker is also spoiled, sorta screw the top up.)
An advanced thanks,
dragonizer.

Dude, you kill all your phones
Yeah haha, actually it is not totally dead. In fact it is just became a "vegetable". The buttons on one of them came out, one of them caught fire, and the other one is with my grandmother after it was fixed.
So yeah. By any chance do you know where to get a neo or neo v flex cable? Thanks lol.

No sorry, if I knew it I would have told you of course. Try ebay maybe.
I tried ebay. I saw the digitizer on ebay, with the sensors on top, but I am asking the sellers whether if they include the sensor. I am waiting for an answer.

This is just a quick query on behalf of a friend.
He recently dropped his lumia on the floor breaking the screen. I got him a replacement and installed it for him.
Ever since then the ability for the screen to rotate has now gone. Turning the phone does nothing. Also the speaker has also stopped working. Could this happen because of the drop?
Also the replacement screen only had one ribbon connector. Not 2 like the original screen. But the screen works great. So what is the other cable for? As it's currently not connected.
Any help on this is appreciated.
Well, if the speaker and accelerometer don't work, what for was the second ribbon?)) Look for the second connector again.
The original screen had 2 ribbons wired in. The replacement screen had one. But the screen works good. It's a mystery.

thx, for the information , I'm going to try ith a second time , but it's going to need some time cause I'm in Europe and the package comes from LA ,
so does anyone know wher i can get parts from broke down Atrix phones or somthing ?
push
friends my touch was working 50% so I tried some packing near front camera (may be fingerp sensor) area below battery as shown in another thread and 90% touch recoverd, but unfortunately the digitizer got torn and touch got unresponsive. I purchased touchpad locally in mumbai at rs850 but after fixing it was not responding. it seems that the flex cable as shown in above link looks bended.
Thus my question since the power module which is on the same flex cable works properly, is it still possible that the touch digitizer which also connects the same cable may not work. or something wrong with new touchpad (tried 2 of them). or some other problem at the junction on motherboard.
at present phone can power on, charge and pc connectivity only.
I dont have any technical knowledge, experts please give some advise.
thanks..
Hi guys im getting the z2 today but a thread really got me thinking bout the magnetic fallout on what it is? Does the phone charger port falls out? whats the deal can someone explain or possible link me to a photo or video to help me understand? Thanks

I used genuine dock and it fell off. So bad quality they "fixed" it and the first time i tried it after repair it fell off again.
I have the genuine magnetic dock for my z2 and had one when I had the z1, never had any problems with either

There has been multiple threads on XDA developers about the magnetic charging port falling out of the device and im start to regard buying a dk36 charger.
I want to ask a few question in regards of the use of the magnetic charger and how you think it came loose in your device:
How did you get the magnetic charger to attach to your device? did you just let it clip in with the magnetic or did you have to apply force to either the device or the charger to get it to start working?
With the use of the official magnetic charger (dk36) did you just let it clip to the device or did you have to apply pressure to the device to get it start charging once it clipped in?
How did you remove/ dismount the charger?(kinda stupid by hey)
And how did you fix the problem/ RMA the device?

I have been using mine for the past month and nothing loose, nothing falling apart. The magnet is not that strong.
Mind you, I don't swim with my phone so I don't know if it has become less waterproof or something like that, but definitely, the port sits tight, it is rigid and no problems.
I've been using the magnetic charger since my Xperia Z1, and never had problems with it coming off.
Same here have the official magnetic charger past few months and no problems what so ever.
I've got a cheap Sony knock off magnetic USB cable. Works fine.

I went to a Sony Centre to confirm if the cable is a knock off or not and their answer was: "This is a Genuine cable, but it's not available in your region."
However this cable doesn't have the "build week indicator" so it has to be a knock off, right? 0.o
Anyway this "Sony" magnetic cable gives me a headache. Genuine or not?
You can't apply force to make contact with the charging port(on Sony docks) the magnet is what pulls the contacts together(phone rests on dock).
I've been using magnetic charging docks from day 1(3mo ago) until a few weeks(when my port quit working) and it's still firmly in place(wish it would have fell out instead of failing so at least I could fix it myself).

it seems only older models of the Z2 have alot of issues, only new ones seem not to have these majour faults
my freind has a brand new Z2 and i said you wont like heating issue yet he says he doesnt get overheating while playing games which i feel ls a lie because i had heating while web browsing and this was extreme heating, something not as heavy as a highly detailed graphicly intensive game
but newer Z2 quality apears improved, you can see proof across xda :/
i think sony may have fixed the magnetic port issue in the newest manufactured models :/, its glued in in old but lets see about new?

he claims his batch no. is 14w30
-He claims the folowing:
no heating issues
no camera shut down
no random bootloops
no squshy button issue
no faulty camera button
no flaps issue
no random data loss issue
mine was 14w20 (i had a 14w17 device before sony gave free replacement)
and i had all issues mentioned above
heating (no camera shutdown ever oddly)
random bootloops with no mods
buttons werent clicky at all
camera button sometimes never worked
my flaps wouldent stay closed
my entire device would wipe its self for no reason
list goes on
lol im glad i dont have any phone right now xD
Mine is 14w18 and no issues you mentioned above (except device does get hot after prolonged use under the sun).
I'm wondering is the magnetic charging port falling out due to a really strong magnet on the charging dock/ module or is it falling out due to heat or applied force ?
I assume the official charging dock dk36 would have the "correct" magnetic strength to not ripp out the magnetic port of the phone
I've been having a lot of problems with my magnetic charging cable. When I first got it (from Amazon), it worked great. Connected easily, and charged wonderfully. Now, it seems loose and wobbly, and I have to set it the right way so it connects. Tolerable if setting on table to charge, but in the car or while holding it is frustrating.
I have a 14w19, and have been having overheating issues at times, and 1 dead pixel, and not rooted.. Should I try for a replacement?
well my official dk36 just came in so yeh lets see how thing goes and if its faulty or not
Right guys I'm so ticked off right now. I bought two adapters. One a couple months ago. I lost it. Another one (the deff one from clove) a few weeks ago. I also lost that. Because they were both £10+ each its pissed me off a bit more.
My question is has anyone bought one which is good and has a strong magnet? I was considering these Sony cables that are on eBay, obviously fakes for the price they are but I'm not sure. What's your guys opinions?

It will instantly discharge your battery and/or a fried motherboard as happened to me here :

Hi, I recevied a magnetic cable bought on ebay (10 euro). I tried it yesterday for the first time and after 6hours of charger the battery level was 52%. The magnetic connection is no strong and I think that cable doesn't work properly.
I will try to buy the adaptor suggest by @tonysunshine
i brought this one over 6 months ago works perfect only goes on one way says + / - on the plug if put on wrong way phone will turn itself off so not sure how MotoXoom fried his ?
+ goes at the top

i haven't used one myself yet. but a friend bought magnector x cable. and it seems to work pretty fine. magnet is strong charges quick. but not as fast as official dock or usb. but it seems pretty nice as most of the cases are not dock compatible.
http://www.amazon.com/Magnector-Per...qid=1411902689&sr=8-1&keywords=magnector+x+z2
I agree the magnector x is pretty good and the magnet is not all that bad, one thing to mention is that the magnector x is not compatible with all cases as the sides may disconnect the magnet.
My first one was the magnector-x but I found with that when I picked up the phone it would just fall off. Same with the deff. The problem I had with that is the fact that the charger wire seemed to be in opposite direction to the connector and therefore ended up not sitting correctly

MotoXoom bought a charger cable that does not have the cut off feature or detects that the charge has been connected the wrong way. So he basically shorted out hsi phone because it did not cut out. This was NOT a magnector-x adapter
The cable i brought doesn’t have a cut off feature? The phone has it, if you put a positive on a positive the phone shuts off.
As far as I know there is no protection whatsoever except for the mechanical small asymmetry (look at the phone connector and compare the "lower" with "upper" plastic tabs).
Certainly there is no electronic protection in the phone. Some phones survived "reverse connection", some not.
I don't think it can be any electronic protection in the cable or charger; they are designed to give out 0.5-1-2A and certainly that are most likely enough to fry the phone. MAYBE some wimpy chargers aren't capable of that but it's better to assume all are dangerous.
Has anyone ever tried one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161404030047?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magnetic-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item4d2641788c
Thanks!
Yeah, i have one of those at home... black and shiny blue when plugged.
They work. But i find the charging speed lacking.
well the magnetic charging lasted me a few weeks and now the magnetic charge port is slowly coming off! *sigh* this is most definitely the last sony phone i purchase

Can you tell us the "week" of the device? You can go under the right flap, there's some plastic tray (similar to the sim tray on the left) there should be the IMEI and some other info, including something like 14W15 (meaning for example 2014 week 15). I've heard the ones after 18 shouldn't have the "unglued magnetic port" problem.
But yes, I really had to get the device for the 2 feature missing on most other phone (waterproof with external no-flap-removal charging and lanyard attachment point) but the S5 would've been better in every other way. Including the fact that 5>2 and it seems it counts. Probably Z5 would be perfect, if we ever get to that.
I have a pain in the bum case on atm and it will some work removing it. I just had another look at the magnetic port and yes it can be completely removed by just the magnet. From looking at the port there appears to be two pins and what appears to be some glue in the middle.
Could I not just super glue the port back into the phone?
If I look closely enough I can see that pressing down on the magnetic port opens up a smallish gap which I would assume would let water in.
My magnetic port moves too if a push it (even a little). And it was supposed to be from the new fixed batches.
WTF Sony? Metal and glass phone, parts held together by spit.
