Hey, about a month ago I dropped my G2X and the screen cracked. I got it fixed at some shady place (yeah i know my fault haha) and now I cant get signal or data. The screen and phone are 100% functional its just that I can't get any signal. I'm running stock 2.2.2, any ideas?
I have also tried a new sim card, didnt work :/
Have you had signal or data at all after the repair?

Nope, nothin at all
I don't know how the internal of the g2x look like but maybe a flex cable got ripped a little or a wire to the antenna is lose... just a possibility... you'll get that when you take an expensive phone to a shady place

+1 - I vote for antenna cable got left unconnected. Antenna is at the bottom of the phone.

EDIT: Can't seem to figure out how to embed the Youtube video properly:

I opened it and it looked like the antenna cable was frayed? Not sure if it's supposed to be like that, I included a few pics. It was connected though, is there anyway to replace it?

Yea that shouldn't be like that... that connector can't be soldered back or just shoved in like that... I got some extra wire connector that look just like that from my old hd2... you tell me if that will work... its about 4in or so long... both end have same connector... if you say yea... I can mail it to you...
I tried to take a picture of it at close up like you to show how it look but its all fuzzy... lol well just let me know if you want to give it a try bro

The antenna to the G2x seems about an inch or two longer than the one the HD2 uses, although I might be wrong, because I seem to remember the HD2 cable winding around alot.
Its the white one... the black one is shorter... I was putting my hd2 back together while posting my last message.. I was in the same boat as he was but worst... the Guy that work on my phone did not even put it back together... he gave it back to me with it being apart and had major issues cause he Jimmy rig the crap out of my phone... I gave it to him to repair as a whole phone... so I ended up repairing it myself... and its working fine!!! Just want to save frost some money... xda been very helpful to me since I became a member

I sold my g2x after i got my sgs 2. I have since purchased and rooted a gajillion fones to see what i like and to sell.
Among this phones are htc sensation x3, hd2 x5, sgs vibrant x5, moto defy x3, g2 x5, htc radar, htc glacier
The phone that xonsistantly walks all of these devices including my sgs2 was my g2x.
What i did. Purchased a moar den fubar g2x. All that was left was the main boahrd and camera. I purchased a digitizer and screen and put this thing back to gether just to make it up to the g2x and show it i was sorry for abandonin it and shiet.
The phone is workinh and i dont have screen blled issues at all. The whites are brighter then my sgs 2 #;&%'n shiet. Internetz loahdz faster &*%#'N SHIEEET.
All im missing is the little grill that sits a top the microphone.
I have searched all over for this lil shiet pieces.

Alright, so I got a Sensation from a friend today that has a smashed screen and a broken back from being thrown at the ground. I was wondering if any one knows how to check if the board is still good? It won't vibrate so I'm guessing that means its broken. If the LCD and digitizer aren't attached will the phone even power on? I also tried plugging it into the wall charger and nothing happens. Any advice? Do you guys think its broken? Thanks!
Here is a picture of the damage, kinda shows how hard it was thrown...

Take it apart and take a good look, that's the best advice I can give. Replace the LCD (if needed) and the digitizer if the board and components look alright.

The screens the difficult part , the housing will only cost you 12 bucks off eBay. Well if you replaced the screen and housing and it looked and worked ok, you could probably get 200 for it on eBay or the forums here. So do the math and see if you'll break even
Sent from my sensational sensation 4g
I'd give it a try, I paid 500 for my sensation its very worth it if you can fix it. Parts are not too expensive. I say go for it! Don't sink too much into it incase it can't be fixed but do give it a try! Man your friend needs anger management if he does this stuff to his devices, haha lol!
Good luck let us know how it goes ok?

Hello xda. Let me get straight to the point. My mom, step sister, brother and cousin all have the EVO shift. My cousin is on his 6th. My bros on his 3rd. Sisters on her 3rd and now my mom is getting her second. All do to touchscreen malfunction. I attached some pictures of the dead spot on the phone. Not only can I not touch there but sometimes when the phones just sitting there it'll touch random spots. Is there a fix to this? Maybe running an RUU?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
I've had the same problem in the same spot since I got my phone. Sprint and Wirefly screwed me out of insurance... So I just work around it by rotating the screen.
Changing the build.prop helps. Change windowsmgr.maxevents to 240. If you're not rooted you are outta luck tho, no update is gonna fix that.

The phones did work good for a while but then after time the touch just starts dying. Almost a total of 12 phones have had the same problem. Although phone with keyboards tend to malfunction more than bar phones.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that is usually the flex cable but mine had a small dead line across the screen and progressively got worse. My wife's does too but hers happened after getting dropped in a drink lol. I'll just say I have done a lot with Android and I can't fix this problem, it is a hardware issue, no software will fix it.
That's what had happened to a few of the shifts. The cable started to crease and that shorted the screen to a point where it was unusable.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
It's defiantly a Hardware issue. Usually the Flex Cable. I've had them bought to me for repair acting just like yours. Usually end up replacing the Digitizer also. Because people tend to bang on the Screen harder, thinking that that will make it work. Which does nothing but cause more damage. If you have TEP, take it in. Just make sure to RUU before you take it in.

After the third time for the same issue you can request a NEW one. They may not be to happy to oblige, but if you stay on them they should do it. Also after the third time for the same issue, you can request a different device. It would be without a penalty. Meaning you should not have to use your Upgrade.
Either im really lucky or really careful, because nothing has gone bad on my shift except the battery. And that's after two years.

Maybe I'm just paranoid but if the person selling doesnt say what all the little problems are, then those could turn into bigger problems for me
At least with Sprint theres the guarantee that I can always pull the unhappy paying customer card

Another quesiton,
So wait, to fix this problem do you need to buy the digitizer or flex cable? or both? because i have the exact same issue right on that same spot.
Where are the best shops or places that will fix your phone's cracked/shattered phone screen for a good price and a fast repair time?
I guess that would depend on where you live or if you're asking for places to send it away to.

They helped me last time with a headphone jack problem, and fixed it no problem just for a little cost
You dont have to buy ur phone there for them to be able to help you.
Make sure you talk to someone that actually knows about phones, or most likley they will just say "Replacement"
which gets super annoying. and over charge you with a stupid price.
All comes to worse, go to the carriers shop, but I would keep that a last priority.
All of them have price rangers, you just gotta find which is the cheapest...
All comes to worse, send it

Yes it does but if you have warranty then just send it to the manufacturer other wise you're out of luck if you can't follow instructions unless you have crazy money to spend asking someone to do it for you.
