[PROJECT]Car dock

i decided to buy the droid x car dock and do some modifications to make it fit the g2 better, still a wip though
first thing was to remove the lip, and switch the usb plug around
then, i got a metal plate, and cut and brushed it
in hindsight, i think i should've took the left inner edge and made it closer to the phone body... maybe later. I still need to cut the top metal piece to fit to the phone as well
(sadly, no picture of the phone in the case yet... my phone is my camera for the moment)
for some reason, i cant embed the images, so just links for now
comments, questions, suggestions?

Looks nice! Would like to see finished product with phone in place.

is it difficult to change the carkit to fit to the desire z?

Any updates/progress?

I got another peice of metal to cut down, but I am in the process of looking for a new apartment so sadly all my projects have been put on hold for nopw, I hope to pick it back up on sunday

by design no, without the metal plate on top yes you could still slide the keyboard up. but I figured it would be a deterrent for me to text and drive... lol

Nice...looks really good. Ill probably do this really soon.

Unpleasant 'sensation' when swiping 'notifications'...?

I may be alone, but my thumb gets a quite unpleasant 'sensation' when I swipe 'notifications' at the top of the device, it catches on the glass below the speaker grill. It's so annoying I may have to take it back...anyone else notice this?
Hoping I posted in the right spot...

I haven't had a similar issue.

Someone call me? BTW...nope...Gorilla glass is smooth as it should be

Nope. My ROM works great though and if this isn't AlphaRev I don't care.
Please move.

It's where the glass meets the speaker grill, even my son noticed it, maybe it's not placed correctly, I'll have to try another to verify..

its yours', believe me. i've had 5 sensations so far and not one had that issue. exchange it.

I think you're putting your thumb up too high on the screen...

I feel a coarse area there, no reason to swipe that high though.. Not even registered on the screen.

You might be right, I'm so used to HD2 and iPhones, G2x, all swipe from the extreme edge...hmn maybe my habit..I'm reluctant to exchange it as it runs so well... I may have to compare at a local store...Hoping it's just one poorly placed screen...sigh, I love this phone...but can't live with the current swipe...

Maybe you should buy a bigger cell phone......

exactly, it's the way the phone was built, so I don't think a replacement is gonna help.

Kinda noticed it, but it's when you try to tap the "htc" logo on top. Just tap on the notification bar instead. problem solved

Yeah, I'm going to have to change my hd2/iphone/g2x habit....I did go to the store to check out another sense and the T mobile girl agreed, it is a smidge elevated and coming from totally flat fluid screens would make a difference..will re educate my thumb...loving the phone...maybe I ask too much?

Sensation Hole

So there I was, sitting around angry at my phone for the whole back cover issue, staring at my phone I noticed a piece of the bezel "chipped off." I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like this or not, but I took a trip to Best Buy and didn't see it on the display model.
Anyone else have this hole?

It is normal I have it on mine and the other sensations I have seen. I think it is a sensor of some sorts.

It's one of the sensors. we got 3 sensation in the family and they have it.

Lol.........

Now we just need that dust to be there for a reason too!
Matt

no dust can pass through the proximity sensor. but the front camera though has some potential. lol

WTF!!!..Dust at the bottom of the screen.

Hello friends I have a question ... How I can clean the dust that comes under my screen, I never thought that this phone would allow that, HTC sensation has given me many headaches, before the signal, then the battery life , then the warming and now this ****, damm wtf ...I don't know if was a good idea buy this phone after all.

Could you take some picture and upload it? Is this not the same with dust issue under screen which majority of us facing it? Search for the thread of dust issue ^^

He means the dust issue...Not powder, as in loose dust shaking around in the bottom, that's silly. Just return the phone. Mine is free of dust now.
Matt

Can the OP upload picture of the powder? I heard the dust usually come from right & left middle of screen. Never heard from bottom yet..

Just return the phone for a replacement, but remember, this is a community forum which does have minor(children) eyes, please watch the language

One x glass replacement???

Well my phone dropped off my chair and broke the glass... Sucks...
Should I order the screen with the lcd or just the screen and digitizer??? Anyone replaced the screen yet??? I've done iphones and itouchs... Not a android yet...
TIA

In another thread somewhere here on XDA, someone covered this. Pretty sure he said to get both because separating the old and rejoining the new perfectly was near impossible. Search for the post to confirm.

Search.....just have HTC do it for $220. That's my STRONG opinion.

Screen and LCD are glued together. Can't replace one or the other

I actually just replaced both of them, just finished.
Turned it on and this is the screen I get:

Kinda rainbow noise. Did I break a ribbon or connector, or did I simply put it together wrong?
Any advice would be appreciated. Made a good faith effort as searching for previous threads with this specific problem and didnt see anything.

I fix phones for a side job.. it looks like the screen you got either arrived DOA with a damaged ribbon cable, or you damaged it or the connections inside when installing. Unfortunately, most places don't accept returns on equipment that has been installed and taken off.
