Hi,
I have a Sprint Touch Pro2, recently it has been dropped and a little rock pushed the digitizer in,
I would like to know, those that own one, do you suggest replacing just the digitizer, or the screen as well? I read that it was very difficult to replace, if anyone can point me to the right thread that describes, or has a 'HOW TO'!
I am not an ignorant user, i did my research, but before i go ahead and take my phone apart, a confirmation would be helpful!
Thank you all!

There's a "how to" down the screen in that link...looks like I'd better hope I never break the digitizer...

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.

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 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.

I had my phone in my pocket and headphones on. Walked by a doorknob, and damn, out comes the headphone plug, and then my headphone audio didn't work.
Turns out the repair for this is both easy and cheap. I found the part that includes the headphone jack, vibration motor, ambient microphone, and headset speaker for $25 (Google: sgh-i777 speaker flex cable assembly). Remove 7 screws on the back, pull apart the cover, and the part to replace is right at the top, no need to remove the motherboard. Disconnect the connecter labeled "sgh-i777", then pry up the headphone jack gently. Now you'll need to pull the in-call speaker -- it's above the connector and glued in, so pry carefully. Then pry up the circular vibration motor, which is also glued in.
Replace with the replacement part, removing the tape backings and gluing in the speaker and vibration motor. Lay everything else in and connect it up (push that connector gently!) Close up, screw back together, and it's as good as new. Easiest phone repair I've ever done yet. So glad I did it!
Nice. Funny how everything is held together with snot... er... glue.
Which glue was used?
Please don't necro threads. This was a year dead. PM the OP if you really want to know something.
If he had wanted to know about glue and posted in General or QA, people might have wonked and said "Search before you start a new thread!!!!" Or "Wrong area!!".
I'm guessing he might have done so, and finds this thread and asks someone with first hand experience.
Then someone wonks that he should have PMed. Can't please em all. Ask your question in the thread. Worst thing that happens is the guy doesn't answer. Rather that then him giving you info that others might find useful but can't get to as its locked in a PM. If people can't get to search able info, kinda defeats the point of always telling people to search before they ask.
'Nuff said.
Not only did he, but in the thread.

I have no idea what you just said. But my point was, the thread had been dead and no one had posted in it for a year. So it's safe to say the discussion was dead. Everyone knows that necroing a dead thread is a no no, so PM'ng the OP would've been the next logical step. He had a general question. Lets let this thread go back to sleep now
The point I was making was that this guy seemed to be following the usual direction of searching for a relavent thread first and posting there, rather than creating a new thread.
Secondly, had the gentlemen just PMed the OP and received a reply, then that information (the information about the glue specifics) would have been contained in a *Private* Message. This bit of information is now unreachable by any other user via a search. That follows no logic that I can see, given that the purpose for forums is to make information available as widely as possible.
Lastly, in your reply post to this gentleman, you said nothing about the original post, nor did you address his question. You simply wanted hit him with a rulebook. (Which, by the way, *would* have been better off being said by in a PM. Ironic).
To simplify the above, in case you don't follow me again:
In order to 1. Prevent a year old thread from becoming active ( even though it was on topic), you would rather 2. him send a PM, meaning the next person searching for the same information would have to PM *again*. If he didn't do that, you'd rather 3. him start a new post and risk someone jumping on him *for not searching for a post that might cover it first ( which, if he searched for headphone, glue, and SGH-I777, would lead him back to this post. And I've seen lots of people tell people to search first rather than start a new thread.

I have to agree with this! I've been on blogs/newsgroups etc. since the days of when AOL was the only internet provider and dial-up. I've never heard that "necroing" a thread as being bad etiquette. I think some people have become too dramatic about others' postings. There's annoying things that people do without meaning harm or hurting anyone every day. One must learn to be strong and thick-skinned to see past the drama and get over it!
I for one am curious about the type of glue in case I run into this problem, or can be used for another application.

Did anyone find the glue?

hi. I am a COMPLETE noob but i have a great idea of an app....i want to make an app that would take care of most of the students in high schools that take student's phone away. I am trying to make an app that will delete all texts and call logs etc. from the phone when i press a certain button like power button for a certain amount of time or even the volume button. The reason for this app is to prevent school admins to access txts or anything that is personal and u don't want them to find out ur secrets....so whenever a teacher asks for ur phone because u got caught with ur phone out in school, u can quickly press that specific button and a vibration would be a confirmation of task being done. Fast and undetectable. Keep in mind i have never made an app but i would greatly appreciate ur advice and some expert help/advice would be very very helpful. Thanks and i hope u like the idea enough to give some of ur help into making this app.
P.S. where i go to school the school has a right to ask a student for his/her password so that trick is rendered useless.
first of all your in the wrong forum, Second students should be using there cellphone in class. third why don't you google on android developement. Learn basic and then wrok from there. kthanksbai

Likely wrong intention
Better learn development but build something else

Well really, just follow the rules. You'll learn it's just better that way in the end. If you put as much thought into your homework as getting around the rules you may be able to make this app one day! And if you do, I've got a better idea than button presses you may not be able to execute in time. Instead, have 2 lock screen passwords. 1 that is your legit unlock, the other does the history wipe when input then unlocks. That way it seems like you're playing along with authority demands.

Hi.
I just noticed that all my calendar events prior to april 12th and right back to june 2011 when I first got the phone have been deleted from my phone, but all other events onwards from april 12th are still on the phone. A sigh of relief when I noticed they're all still there online in google calendar, ie, all events from june 2011 to now. Not sure what happened, but, I did reinstall calendar sync today (before I'd noticed this) because it was partially deleted due to a virus I had a week ago. I say partially because it was still syncing but it took longer and I could tell something wasn't right. It had been effectively uninstalled in control panel, so that's why I reinstalled it.
So I connected my phone, manually synced google calendar sync app in my taskbar, and although it's updating new events from my phone to google calendar online, it's not transferring the old events from april 12th and before that date from google calendar online back to my phone.
I created a test event today directly in google calendar to see if it would transfer to my phone with sync, it did. So what's up with it not transferring my older events from google back to my phone before april 12th?
Bump
Bump. Let's see how many times I can bump this before someone replies or I get told off.
It's a known issue that Google is doing nothing to fix.
Here's a workaround though.
If that doesn't work, here's another one.
Both found with Google.
(Also, see rule #5. Bumping is seen as pretty annoying around here, and doesn't actually incite people to help you)

I thanked you for your advice and I'll thank you again. But I don't give a flying **** if you don't like my bumps. If I hadn't bumped my thread (after several hours of it receiving no replies and disappearing into the void), there would have been NO replies, making being a posting member here pretty much useless. Get it? These forums are massive with ludicrous amounts of posts every second pushing others off the page very fast, never to be seen again, so bumps are NEEDED to get noticed. Get off your high horse.

Clearly. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that in quite a few of your posts you talk down to members, pretty much patronising them.
"in spite of my being annoyed by the bumps as I'm sure many others who knew the answer were"
Lol, seriously, and my last word on this, drop the wannabe moderator act. You're obviously very knowledgeable on phones and have made many posts. And I'm grateful you linked me to a couple of potentially helpful threads which (contrary to what you think) would not have happened if I hadn't bumped my thread. But, I've been here longer than you and long enough to have seen many threads of mine disappear without any response when there's been no bumping. Noone was going to answer my thread without it being bumped, trust me on that, it had already gone to page 3, so my bumping was not the catalyst for why you think I got no answers. Editing my post would have made no difference, it wouldn't bring it back to page 1, and neither was there any need for me to clarify an already crystal clear description of the issue in my OP. I also help people where I can on other forums where I'm knowledgeable in a field just like you, and I leave the lectures on forum etiquette to those in charge.

Probably because I'm sick of people who don't take the 5 seconds it takes to type their problem into google, and incessantly bump their posts to keep it at the top of the forum. But you're right. I should take a step back and not let such things bother me anymore.

While I see how those options would do it, I chose to just purchase Calengoo... I works great and I'm lazy so I don't want to have to do the export/import thing or flip back and forth changing the date. (I did notice that if it's a recurring appointment on the calendar those show beyond the 30 day limit.)
hopefully this is something Google will change at some point. I just don't understand their reasoning for not offering us the choice on how much calendar data to sync.
Just thought I'd add another solution to this problem.
Found it here:
https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/calendar/BG6UUCLcQZ4/J7Zc-l4X_9gJ
Steps:
Go to Google Calendar in your browser (DESKTOP)
Go to Settings (top right cog)
Calendars
Export calendars
Extract the .ics file from the saved zip file
Import calendar (select the .ics file)
That's it, it shouldn't create duplicates, but the calendar on your phone should now show the old events.
Simple but effective

Good job. Much thanks! This one did it!
Didn't work for me. Not sure why these work for some and not for others (like me)... could it really be because of ICS vs JB etc?
Anyway, I'm on a HTC Sensation, JB 4.2.2, and it would be very helpful if I could get important business schedule information from 6 months ago to 8 years ago from google online calendar into my phone, and I can't, and that's just retarded. So if anyone has suggestions on ways to do it, your input would be helpful. Thanks.
-Ryan.
update: well, it took a while but it actually worked... Yesterday, I exported, imported, synced, waited, synced again, and still nothing nothing. Then I posted to this thread. Then today, I read on the calengoo site that they recommend this 'trick' also, so I figured goddaammmit why didn't it work for me? So I looked at my calendar, and lo & behold... data back as far as i care to look! HOORAY!
