Seriously tho, wonder if it would be possible to use the Korean quick window cover that replaces the whole back?

I'm really pleased to see that the battery will be easily replaced if 1 year from now, it starts failing to hold a significant charge.
Hmm I wonder if we can mod a wireless charging receiver on it... Is the Verizon version easy to pop off? If so where does the coils for the wireless charging connect?

I mean yes the battery is "stepped" but not as much as they make you believe in the g2 launch event haha.
Good to know it is serviceable however! How much if any spare room is there under that cover?
Is that a micro SD card there in steel or aluminum
It's a long shot but it'll be lovely to have micro SD support. Have seem this in happen in other phone for ex on Dell streak the internal memory was just a micro sd card which could be replaced.
Thoughts?

If this article is correct, then the Korean LG G2 is 0.24mm thicker than the US one, at 9.14mm vs 8.9mm. So it may actually be a little too big... so maybe it'll fit with some extra room... for extra tape
That being said, I'm sold on the LG G2 thanks to your post. A removable case means we might get extended batteries, battery replacements, and I can make custom flush cases.
Some more pictures of the AT&T LG G2 with the plastic cover removed!
wireless charging isn't happening with the LG G2 for AT&T.
board design is very different on the Verizon model.

I think its really funny how they make the "Stepped Battery" look at the product launch, like it was going to fill every spare mm in the phone then to see that its not that dramatic at all.

Maybe we can take an old school approach, meaning we open up the bottom and solder wires onto the micro usb jack. the old samsung galaxy's had that mod where they took a palm loop and soldered wires and made it so that the contacts on the palm loop made contact with the micro usb jack pins.
as soon as i get my hands on a Sprint variant im going to open it up and try this (with protection of all kinds since i dont want to kill my phone).
based on manuals i found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437403 the mod seems possible, but i dont know if it'll work.
the cover of the bottom comes off without too much work. the disassembly of sprint starts on p.254
and since the NFC is build into the Battery Cover, i dont think it will interfere with each other.
Can we use copper tape? I put in a wireless Palm setup into my Note 2 and that's exactly what I used, copper tape to run leads from the coil to the battery leads. Worked perfectly. If the qi coil fits in there, couldn't we just simply run copper tape nice and flat to the battery leads?

that might work but im not sure as to the effects on the battery long term. the Micro usb leads are a better shoice snce LG sigures out how to properly charge the battery. these batteries (SiO+) might be diffrent and cant be regularly charged. i feel Micro USB modding with copper foil and some wire is the best option. and the coil can go right on top of the battery

Anyone knows where to get a replacement? I think it's what it's called. It's the small plastic cap on top of the phone over the cable socket. Lost mine at some point...

You mean they last more that two days then It is so much easier to connect the cable without it - shame there isn't a thing to fill the holes it leaves behind though (aside from the USB one that is).

Yup, true genius engineering design went into that usb connector. (Same guy tested the in-call volume in a sound proof room).
What?!?! Put the connector at the bottom and be like everyone else?? No X10 owner would want to put the device into a docking stand. That would just be foolish.
My previous phone, an HTC Cruise, has the connection at the bottom with no cover. In more than a year of being in my shirt pocket on a daily basis the mini-usb never got any dust in it. At least not enough to ever prevent a good usb connection.
Has anyone replaced the charging port on their rezound? Where did you get the part, and was it a simple takedown and disconnect or was there soldering involved?

It is most likely soldered to the board, which is the easy part. The hard part will be finding the MHL connector to replace it with. A quick google search turns up adapters and etc which you don't need.
I would contact http://www.mhlconsortium.org and see what they say.
The connector is a smt (surface mount) part that will require desoldering of the old part and resoldering of the new part. You will also want to be very careful to not damage the pads on the circuit board when doing this type of rework. These pads can be easily damaged if you don't know what you are doing. Without knowing the exact part number, it is had to say where to buy this part but places like http://www.digikey.com/?curr=USD sell components like this.
Thanks for the replies, I was considering picking up a pair of rezounds one with a bad screen and one with a bad charging port for cheap. They're for sale together for just over 120 on craigslist. I was going to swap the charging port but I don't think I'm up for that challenge if it is soldered to the board. Screen swap doesn't sound like a good idea to me either. I've heard too many people screwing up screen replacements with new parts let alone something used.

The screen is easy to replace. Make sure you buy some double stick tape on amazon specially designed for this purpose. I think it is 2mm wide. It's like 5 bucks and will do maybe 10 or more phones.

Seriously, are you looking for a Rezound with a bad USB? Mine charges, but hasn't been able to connect to PC since about a week after I got S-OFF. I have been looking for clean used ones so I can recover mountability.
Sent into the innertubes from my Arnova 10 G2.
I imagine that the USB port wouldn't be easy to replace, I remember trying to JTAG my Xbox360 where I had to solder 24 gauge wire to the board and it was a massive pain in the ass. The Rezound is way smaller do I'd imagine it'd be that much harder.

They make solder in a paste form that melts with a heat gun. That is what you need for small amt stuff. It makes it easy.
Get a soldering iron with the smallest tip you can find. Make sure it goes past 600 degrees F or it will not melt with just the tip.
I replace charger ports on the Nintendo DSi all day and its fairly easy. But if you don't melt the solder, and you pull too much, you could rip the pads off the board. (Which I have done many times) If you have access to a heat gun, then that is better. Use the heat gun to remove the port, but use a soldering iron to put the new one on.
All these surface mount things are placed on the board by robots and then ride through an oven, never to be touched by human hands.
The pins are quite small (Holy thread revival!)

Are the contacts recessed under the mid-plate where a simple swap from another device (that has the cut outs) would allow it to work or will it require some copper tape and fiddling?
From what I understand, a midplate swap will work, as will taking a Dremel to the existing one. I know some people here have done the mod. Hopefully they'll read this and report their experiences.
I would enjoy wireless charging, but I don't know if I would physically modify my device to get it.

I just checked on my sch-i605 and it is NOT just a midplate swap.
See the attached photos for the details.
The sch-i605 has the midplate w/o cutouts. It DOES have the bare pads beneath it , however the pads are flat onto the pcb and lack the spring retention contacts (the kind battery has sticking out ) . You would need to extend from the bad up through a new midplate via conductive copper tape or solder onto the pads (dont recommend soldering onto the pcb at all).
Pic 1 ) Shows in red where the cut outs *should be*
Pic 2 ) In white shows the flat bare contact pads which will not pass through a replacement midplate without altering / tape/ solder.

I sent mine to Texas after receiving RMA#. I've been waiting over 3 weeks to have it fixed. Tried to buy the cap but could not find it anywhere. I have only found port cover for Xperia phone Z but wasn't sure if they match those on the tablet. Anyway it is fixed now and recently I bought a cradle and it works great. I think it is a must to avoid damaging those covers. Pricey but I think it looks good, functions properly and it is great for watching movies, playing games and typing.
Bottom line send the tablet back to Sony and in the same time get a cradle and you will not have any issues with the tablet's waterproof tabs.

Thanks. I am sure the cradle is the best solution but not very practical when traveling and charging on the road on trains or air plains.
the cap must have a design flow if it breaks only after a couple of weeks.
Agreed. It was not the greatest engineering marvel. Cradle is in fact very thin and it fits the tablet very snug so I don't see any problem of taking it with me when I go. The threaded plug port with an o-ring would have been much better solution than that cheesy tab. But then again not many people would have bought a cradle. It is a good product but like most electronics it has its flows. My advice try not to open those tabs too often or better avoid opening them altogether. They will last forever. Bluetooth headphones, cradle, WiFi can easily facilitate it.

I would prefer that Sony replaced these, but they told me that when the tiny piece of plastic bends and breaks that it's considered physical damage. I find that odd that a main selling point is its resistance to damage but the part that protects from damage breaks off with normal use. I had to settle for replacement covers I found on ebay.

I had this situation that the cap got bend because I forgot to put it back after closing the tablet cover over it. I was able to bend it a bit the other side and also notice the little pin needed to be straighten so that it will fit back in place. This is when I notice the hole next to the usb to be used when the cap is open you insert the cap pin in it.

Btw are you talking a bout a video of replacing the cap or a video about dissabling the tablet ?
From what I've seen the tab cover has a "nipple" which can be squeezed and pushed through the hole (from the inside of the tablet). I don't think it is easily or even possible to do it from the outside. Besides I think the back panel acts like a gasket and seals the inside so I don't understand why would the tablet lose its waterproof capability. Do you have any bad experience?? Besides I don't see why could not you smear very fine silicon layer around the mating parts and make it 100% waterproof! Disassembly is here: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zczfTnBFqtA

I'm sorry, bad English.
Several cases occurred in the same issue, even in our country.
But the problem is the fault of the customer, according to Sony service center.
Many people are angry, but they do not change attitudes.
Sony's quality control is questionable, but they do not recognize it either.
I hope you look forward to a good result. Please let us know results later!
I tohught i'd found someone that had the charging port always crooked problem this is much different.
that is something to look out for.
Worried now as i use the magnetic port exclusively.
This just happened to me today. I removed my phone from the dock this morning and the port was detached from the phone and was stuck on the dock its already my second phone as the first one had digitizer lines, gaps etc.
I'm on my third device now. Just happened to me on monday but I was using a third party charging cable.
it looks like the port is just glued in with the contacts being pushed into the phone. I would have thought they would have made it with a lip so it could not be pulled out!? or is that to much like common sense lol.
This is hilarious, I can't believe this have happened to the charging port, it looks very sturdy.
i was planning to buy this (it has really good reviews, 5 stars on all the reviews,.... although its only like 9 people that reviewed it)
http://www.amazon.com/Magnector-Per...402475479&sr=8-4&keywords=z2+magnetic+charger
it says that it has twice the Magnetic Power than original Sony Xperia Charging Cable.... that sounds good because i heard the original one is kinda weak and disconnects easy,.... but in the other hand it increases the possibility of making the magnetic port loose,.....
has anyone tried this product yet????

Common sense does not exist in the corporate world. They are mutually exclusive (save for some extenuating circumstances).
So how does this affect waterproofing, is the phone stilled even if the port isn't in?
If it is then I wouldn't mind having to put dab of glue and shove it back in if mine ever came out.
If it's not then it might have been a leakage point for some of the people that ended up with moisture inside after phone is submerged.
I guess I'm going to have look for those tear down photos & see if it shows details of the frame/magnetic port.
