So I was a little too rough taking off the back cover and I guess I warped it or something... Whenever I apply pressure to the back of the phone (like when you grab it) it creaks and squeaks... and it's really bothering the **** out of me
I tried searching but I just can't find any... Anyone know where I can get a replacement?
It says out of stock now buy they had them a couple days ago. Also, you have to order at least 5. http://www.globaldirectparts.com/LG-Star-P990-Optimus-2X-Battery-Door-p/lg970940.htm

Saw that one... It's the wrong color though
I'm pretty sure that's the right color. Keep in mind that's a garbage quality picture of it and the metal piece has protective plastic over it.

P990 (O2x) has a black back opposed to the G2x with the brown
hi everyone, i have a quick question.
i noticed yesterday that my screen was starting to come loose on the top corner of my phone, i could push it back in and within 10 min it was back out. (this also happened on my htc inspire)
i returned the phone to at&t and my new one is more solid but i do notice that it does push in the bezel a tiny bit also on all corners and sides.
do i have another bad phone? is anyone else seeing this with there phone?
thx for the help
it flexes a bit with light pressure, but if the problem is severe or impedes the use of the phone, then return/exchange it.
my first phone was fine at first but then the right corner popped out about a 16th of an inch from the back case and the other side was fine. the phone was still fine to use though.
i am wondering if the tiny bit of flex around the edge is normal or if mine will eventually work loose again.
Mine is a bit creaky around the top and bottom but I dont think it is worth taking back for
I exchanged my first HOX because of this. It started in one corner and then quickly spread to three.

how is the new one does the screen push in at all around the edges? my new one does slightly also do you mind letting me know what rev the build is. min is rev.2 on my box label.
thx
New one is rock solid. That rev2 is most likely just the packaging. The different hardware versions are HT23, HT24, etc... Mine is an HT24.

the screen is coming off the black metal bezel, don't you remove the bezel and screen as one piece when removing the back casing?
i guess if it does happen again i can just peel off the screen and glue it back down to the metal casing.

I guess there are many who have never had issues with the glass , or hell anything for that matter .. I'm included... You could take it back and give your replacement a good test while still in store , and if you glue your phone and something else happens to go wrong ... Good luck trying to explain that

What are the chances that we will see replacement backings sold? Would they only be possible from LG or third parties too? I'd love to see a plastic replacement backing sold, if for no other reason than to have an extra back to use when I'm going out, just replace it at home and head out

I don't know, but I hope it is soon. I'd love to see some carbon fiber or leather backs being made.
with antennas and other components attached to the back glass wouldn't it be pretty unfeasible to see replacement backs?
What do you mean replace it at home and be out? You realize is screwed in right? It's also got a whole bunch of crap attached to it like antennas and wireless charging stuff.
If you mean like a skin or something, check out Skinomi they already have carbon fiber skins and others for this device.

I know it has screws but it can still be taken off, its just not "hot swappable" (easy to take off). I'm fairly certain it's still feasible to have different backings available, and maybe the replace it for going out was a little much, maybe its a bit more difficult than that, but to be able to replace it with something made of carbon fibre would be fantastic, just to not worry about the glass. Or even a replacement made of the same stuff for worse case scenario (it breaks). As for antennas and such, of course these would have to be taken into account for and added to any new ones.

You're acting like the back of the Nexus 4 is hideous or something. It's actually the most beautiful back side I've seen on a phone since the iPhone 4. Cool your jets and don't mess with what you have.
Q
I would love to see a replacement back that had a 4000mAh battery in it. I don't care if it added 6-8mm of bulk to the back. As long as it had a battery and another set of charging wires for the Qi charger I'd be happy.
I want some POWER!

No body said anything like that, but let's be honest here, chances are it'll scratch or break, and id like to have a backup, or as the person above said an extended battery thrown in would be super cool, id gladly take an extra 4-6mm for some more juice

Why don't you cool your jets before jumping to conclusions? I actually like the back and think it looks nice. However, it is glass and will crack eventually. I'm very careful with my phones and have never had a cracked screen, but accidents do happen. I also don't like how slippery it is. I'm getting a case for it to fix that problem, but just replacing the back with a different material would be nice. Just because YOU don't want a product doesn't mean others don't either.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Nexus 4 doesn't have a replaceable back and most likely never will... Use a good protective case when going out. I leave a case in my car and use it when I know I'm going out to the bar.
sometimes I joke to myself to tape the edges and the camera/speaker on the back and give the phone a quick once over using FlexSeal (rubber in a can) to protect it. LOL
That cannot be good for heat diffusion.

That seems hard to you? A proper torx screwdriver and a guitar pick would have the backing off in a hurry.
For those who say the backing is "not replaceable" must not have owned a Galaxy Nexus. At first people said it couldn't be replaced easily but then the white rear housing was released and people started swapping it onto their phones with no problem. And that rear housing requires much more patience and work than the backing of the Nexus 4 does.
I really wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing replacement backings in the near future. Ideally, I would like to see one without glass for obvious reasons. One with kevlar would be FANTASTIC!
Apparently my phone is deciding to freak out ever since I have decided to upgrade to a Nexus 5 when/if it comes out in Oct. I did my forum search/homework and found that by pushing the left side of the display about mid way the screen would come back on. Given the right amount of pressure and duration the screen will stay on. So I thought it was just a loose cable and decided to be brave and open it up and reseat the cable.
I amazingly was able to open up the housing without breaking anything... a first for me. I located the cable about half way down the left side and did what I thought was reseating it. I popped the display/board back into the back housing and snapped it down. Well it turns out that if I snap down the right side and the bottom but leave the left side unsnapped everything works without a hitch. As soon as I snap down the left side the screen goes black and I have to do the pressure on the left side of the screen thing to get the display working.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm not adverse to opening the case up again but I don't know what exactly I should do once I have it open now that reseating the cable didn't work. Is it possible that a bit of felt or something on top of the cable would work to get enough pressure on it? Should I blow the whole thing out with compressed air in case there is dust or grime in the connector? Seriously, I am open to suggestions.

The issue is most likely with the flex cable itself and not the connector. a rip or a weakspot. One person managed to get it working by unfolding the cable. If you're able, you could try replacing the flex cable.

I had the same exact issue. The cable is supposed to be bent like that, but if you unbend it, the display comes on. Unfortunately doing that caused my cable to short and the phone caught on fire.. I had to buy a nexus 4 (only $400, happy with it) instead of repairing the hox for $250+

Yah I think 10-20$ on a flex cable is worth the risk compared to 400 for a new phone though..
Thanks for the info! Sounds like I'm toasted. It sucks because I babied the hell out of this phone. No drops, no moisture, always in a case with a screen protector. On the other hand I beat the hell out of my old LG Optimus S. Dropped that thing more times than I can remember and its still going strong as my dedicated car MP3 player. Go figure.
I may pick up a Galaxy 3 on craigslist for $250 and then sell it when the new Nexus comes out. I should be able to sell it for $250 and thus not lose any money. Still rather have the HOX screen than the crap Galaxy screen though.

Wait... thats all a flex cable goes for? What would I have to do? It looks like the cable connects at the left side and then it goes under the battery that has some sort of adhesive so I didn't follow it.

Well, if it requires more than a simple unplug and plug back in it may not be for me. Heck it was a minor miracle to get the back plate off and put back on without a mushroom cloud.
That said, craigslist may have an answer. S3 for $250 or s4 for $300. If they actually go through with the sales I may buy both and resell the one I can live without. Then I could try my hand at fixing this thing and sell the other. Silver lining and all that...

Well, the the supposed s4 turned into the seller trying to pass off an s3 as an s4. The s3 was busted all to hell. So I am thinking that I may try my hand at a HOX repair.
Would I be replacing the whole LCD or just the ribbon? I did some looking around and I couldn't really find a One XL lcd flex cable. Found a bunch for My Touch and other phones though which is quite helpful.
LCD would be easier but you'll want to get one with the exact same color flex cable as you have now to make life easier on yourself because there are 3 different screens for the onexl.

Full LCD is about $80+ right? Could you point me in the direction of the cheaper alternative? Also, if you would, what would it take to replace just the cable?
No i cant because I don't know which of the 3 LCDs you have. Also 80 is around what you should expect to pay. Don't go too cheap or you'll have yourself a cheaply made LCD that burns out after 2 months.
Ive never done this for this phone before but i imagine Replacing the flex cable involves heating the cable on the LCD end using a heat gun to soften the glue and then carefully removing the cable on the LCD end then heating the new cable to get it to attach to the LCD and then solidifying with a glue gun. Once it's all dried in place you can snap in the connector on the other end to the board.
If anyone else wants to add to this feel free.

I dont know if you'll want it to be honest. Even though I've taken mighty fine care of it I just realized that the speaker doesn't work. The earpiece works but the speaker on the back doesn't. Bugger. Well I figure I've saved roughly $250 by using straight talk... so I guess spending for a new phone isn't thaaat bad
Dead HoX... RIP
Welp... the phone died. No worky none. It doesn't even turn on anymore. So I broke down and bought an Optimus G for $225. Not exactly a steal but it should work until something better comes along and I can resell it.
I will miss my HoX. It was a good phone and the dev community was fantastic. It and this forum will be missed.

Hello everybody!
Yesterday evening I dropped my phone and broke the digitizer. The LCD still works perfectly, though.
Has anybody bought a digitizer recently? How much should I pay for one? I'd rather spend as less as possible, but have a decent /good quality replacement.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: The reason of this question is that I am afraid of ending up buying a defective replacement and come across stupid behaviours like lag ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27948877 ) or partial unresponsiveness.
I've spotted some <10 euros shipped digitizers from China and Hong Kong on ebay like this ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Desire-...tizer-Lens-Glass-S510e-Adhesive-/310722093025 ), would they be suitable (they seem veeery cheap).
There are some on amazon as well ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/DESIRE-REPL...K7GA/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A37V4Y5C680M31 ), I would be likely to buy this one, but maybe someone with more experience than me will point me in the right direction

It's better to ask a offline store dealer about the exact replacements for your phone... Then you will know what kind of digitizer u need... I was Askin for a touch replacement for a friend and got to know that our device gets touch panel & lcd together so better check n purchase!

Do it right and slowly and you'll be fine. Make sure you use tape between the LCD and Touch Screen when you replace it. And don't cover the sensors.

Yep, that's the one. It's very easy to impair the way it works if you don't line the tape up correctly when you replace the screen.

Ok, I'll be careful about aligning them. Is the sensor one piece with the lcd or is it a separate part? I am mainly worried about sticking the lcd and the digitizer together, i think that i can solve any problems disassembling the phone a second time. Do you suggest changing the adhesive for the screen? If so, can you suggest which tape should I buy? I read on sensation forums that the digitzer touching directly the body of the phone can cause ghost touches/unresponsive areas on the touch screen. Is that true?
Thanks you all for your answers, I appreciate that

The sensor is within the LCD screen, but I think it may be a physically separate part (it's been a while since I took my DS apart).
You should always fully remove all traces of the old tape and replace with new - search on Amazon or eBay for "2mm double-sided tape"
I never encountered 'ghost' touches, and you shouldn't either if you replace it correctly.
Ok, thanks. How much did you pay for your replacement part? Did it feel like the original?

I can't remember exactly, it was somewhere round the £20 mark and it did the job just perfectly.
remember to check which panel you are getting, nobody here likes to have the MDDI panel.

LCD or touchscreen?
I was lucky, my LCD is still intact. I only have to change the digitizer. It is the LCD which can be MDDI, right?

I thought they came bundled together?

You can buy a bundle, but it's much cheaper to get the touch-screen on its own and fit it yourself.

I think that too. OK, I'll do that and report how it goes

Hi, I have a doubt. I'm on the repair, but I don't really know which tape is the best for this repair and for the GSII I'm doing next (and the ones in the future). Is this one fine or, if not, can you suggest a suitable one?
