During a recent screen swap I lost the metal convex power button cap and amber tape holding it down.

Whats a crafty way of making my own button? I've tried extra foam inserts around the edge and double sided taping aluminum foil to the back of the fingerprint reader button part, but I can't seem to get it working reliably.
Someone's got to have a better idea!
Thank you!

Looking at that brings back a lot of memories of the old Atari 2600 joysticks. Anyway, finding a reliable fix for that may not be easy given the scale. I would look around for something to cannibalize or try and sweep the area you were working with a strong magnet.

I have been checking some online-shops (inc. ebay) in the search of the keypad(plastic thingie, without circuits) with a wheel but with no luck - they are not sold separately from housing, nor many housings are sold without them.
Can anyone give me a clue if I can find that piece somewhere?
It seems there is a thin metalic layer. This one is very fragile: on my phone, this layer begins to peel off. Does anyone know how to change it?

that same **** happens to me, but no that serious, only the little "line" that its in the red and green icons. I guess that your using your fingernails, right?
Nope. But when cleaning my screen, I put a little bit of water on it, then rub it with a tissue. I think the tissue gets caught on the small holes and tear off the metallic layer... One of my colleague has the same problem.
Once it has begun, you cannot stop the layer unsticking.
Uh! need!!
Yes I me too..
please help... broken idem.-
Mine is even worse not even the metal layer has been scratched off but the keypad is also cracked in the middle and the scroll-wheel does not work
This keypad is really a crap. And the phone surface is not guaranteed by HTC (of course)!
I will receive an HD 2 in a few days. My operator could rebuy my Polaris for 18 € (for recycling it)
to wagner51
dude if you're gonna sell it that cheap, let me know. i'll give you an alright price for it with postage etc
same problem
I am facing the same problem: the metallic-coated front panel is scratchy, and just last week it was broken from the upper middle section. If anyone could give advice on how to fix/replace it, it would be most appreciated.
Good Day All,
I am in a bit of a predicament. On Saturday, I had my phone in hand and heard a *crack* (I can only suppose my subconscious telekinetic powers were left on), looked down and noticed that there was a somewhat small crack about 1.5 inches up from the back capacitive button all the way across to the home cap button. Basically making any key presses in that lower region of my screen and cap buttons unusable.
I just watched the YouTube tear down video and I'm curious as to if I purchase the Touch Digitizer Screen Assembly(See pics below) will this cover everything that I need for the replacement?

I found a US supplier on eBay with it for $170.99 with a decent ship time (4 business days).
--I have noticed that Most of the non-ebay suppliers are out of stock on the digitizer all together.
Any suggestions/advice is much appreciated.

Because the local "fixers" are gonna want to charge a markup on the actual screen/assembly while still adding on for repairing the damage. Versus actually buying the part myself and giving it to them to fix(Which is also a probably option).
Have you contacted LG. I heard they do the repairs too. It's obviously much safer and I think cheaper.
Okay as it turns out the top and bottom rails are actually coated plastic unlike the left and right side which is made of aluminum. I've got a few scratches and on the corner the coat is chipping. So I was wondering does anyone know if its easy to replace them without having to dismantle the phone? I found them selling cheap on http://www.etradesupply.com/sony-xperia-z-ultra-xl39h-side-rail.html and from the pictures I can see that it clips on the device but I need to be sure. So if anyone has done it or seen it done before please share it. Thank you.
I think they can come off without fully taking the phone apart
Zoom and look at these pictures http://stellatech.com/sony-c6806-xperia-z-ultra-front-cover-lcd-touchscreen-(black),a,en,816117.html

Has anyone found how to remove the top/bottom rails? Also, is it possible to just replace power button? I can't seem to find anything.

Didn't think so, but I found someone on eBay selling just the power button. Still can't find how to replace the top rail either.
Could not find anything thats ready made for the S Pen and didn't quite like the G2 solution sooo...here it goes:
Get yourself a Lamy Safari, I had a couple of those at hand, they can be found pretty cheap, take out the nib and the ink feed, it comes out from the front. If you're not going to use it again, pull it out with pliers, so much easier. Drill, from the back side, the inside rib that holds the ink feed with a 7mm drill (thats 9/32 approx. but 1/4 inch will do). From the front side, there is a small piece inside of the ink feed holder that makes sure the ink feed system slides in one-way, got to get rid of that. I used a 6mm (15/64") drill from the front, wiggled it a little, that did it.
The great thing is that the inside of the back part of the LAMY case has some ribs that the S Pen slides right into and those ribs hold it in place and prevent the S Pen from twisting, they hold pretty tightly too.
Here are some pictures, it feels really good for those who are wondering:

Forgot: I am also investigating a solution for the button, will let you know if I find one thats eloquent.
I ended up buying this:, but I got a crazy deal and it was only $22.99, I think because it was on clearance for some reason. I would have never paid $39.99 and would of looked for something like your solution
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/wacom-b...bled-tablets-black/8282053.p?id=1218868675100
the Lamy on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Lamy-Safari-Fountain-Pen-Charcoal/dp/B0002T401Y is $20.98, so I guess its better than paying $40.00 for the bamboo, but with the bamboo, if you got a good deal, you have the side button. Now I have 2 pens, the one included, and the bamboo, so its kind of nice when I need someone else to draw on the screen along with me
Anyone else have one? And have problems with it?

Maybe its me but it seems the magnets don't agree with phone at all , plays havoc with screen unlocks when attached to it and all sorts.
Would the magnetic in the mount interfere/degrade the phone's battery?
I have a similar mount. If the magnet gets too close to the power/volume buttons it puts the screen to sleep. There must be a sensor there for a smart cover.
Not sure about effect on battery. I'm considering switching away from the magnetic holders, simply because I hate having to hide a piece of metal under the case, and thusly can't use my clear Ringke Fusion case.

The magnet sensor of the N6 is behind the M-logo. A magnet at that location (front or back) swithes off the screen.
My solution is to use silicon case and a metal plate fixed at this case with superglue. Positioned below the M-logo. About 1 cm.
Check it by keeping the magnet below the M-logo untill the screen stays on.
Because the back of the N6 is not flat, the metal plate must be rather large and firmly fixed (pressure a few hours).
This way of mounting does not affect the battery life, but when using wireless charging, the case with the metal must be removed.
That's why I use a silicon case. Easy to remove.
