[Q]Need new Metal Bezel

Guys,
I dropped my Trnasformer and there is little damage near power button, not big deal but i can't look at it.....
Is there any website i can order new metal bezel or only solution is to buy transformer sleeve to cover it?
thanx

At a guess no since its hard enough trying to order a new charge cable. I think you would have to get ASUS to do it.

I did the same thing. Bent it RIGHT ON the power button and jammed it. I tried to bend it back to normal, but I had already done enough damage. It went back to RMA and came back like brand new. Worth the $$. They didn't even wipe my Prime ROM.

I'll also add that the Asus sleeve was worthless to protect the buttons that needed protecting. I am looking for a gel case or something like they have for the Xoom. Otterbox doesn't make a case for the TF.

Buying a myTouch 4G, any precautions?

Looking at buying a slide tomorrow. Is there anything I need to be alarmed of? Do these have screen issues, or any of the like? Just don't want to buy a defective device. Thanks!

HTC = Great quality
No real problems it's such a solid phone, so much so that developer "Blue61X" has bought two of these phones.
a few people said they had dust under there screen but i doubt you need worry, enjoy your slide, its got some real great things going for it all of a sudden the development section here has gone from ~ none to a lot of awesome ROMs.

YES THERE IS ONE THING
Open up a few different boxes and feel the keyboards. We don't have the best keyboard on a phone, they are built strong and built to last, but make sure your specific phone has a keyboard you are content with. My friend has a mt4gs and his keyboard feels better than mine.
Also I just noticed u said ur getting a mytouch 4g, don't get the mytouch 4g, get the mytouch 4g slide =)

And. Get the anker 1900 mah 2 battery set that comes with the wall charger off of amazon.
This way u can keep one charging and one being used.
The stock battery gets hot, wears out fast, and the heat is bad for your phone in general.

Great phone, keyboard, front camera, good back camera, big screen, good processor. Overall its a good phone, only complaint is the genius button. I wish it was just regular search but you can change that if you're rooted.

Thanks guys! I've had good and bad luck with HTC in the past but this phone just looks amazing all around. I am buying this phone pre owned also. If I don't feel it's right, then I definitely won't move on it but I am excited to see what it has in store! Will update after I check it out.

The only real issue is battery life. If you can afford it, buy a Mugen; otherwise, get the Anker two-pack.

Got one!!
Gotta say overall I love it. Got it brand new, about a month old, for $160.
Here's why. The screen has the oh so lovely dust particles formed under the screen coming from the bottom left and shooting to the middle of the screen.
I thought HTC learned by now?! Either way, I'm happy and in my eyes i stole it from the guy.

you may be able to get the dust removed under warranty. All 4G Slides still have factory warranty from HTC.
Just check to make sure there's no water damage and that one of the screws on the back is covered by a VOID sticker.
Send it in!

Doesn't matter if you're not the original owner. Factory warranty starts from date the phone was manufactured
And if it happens again, at least you'll have a clean phone for the time being

I know this because I just sent my phone in. Took 5 days to ship out. It's going to Texas. They turned it around on the same day. I was amazed. But they do tell you repairs can take anywhere from 6-10 days not including shipping. I'm sure they just say that to stay safe.
You have to pay for shipping though. They will not provide a label.

Awesome. I've never done warranty before so I'm all new to that. I imagine I just ring them up and go from there?

I am not the original owner of the one I sent in.
Neither of mine have the dust issue - mainly because I keep them in cases.
I attached some pictures below - they are pocket sized cases, fit with the trident case around the phone, and have pockets for accessories and batteries.
The zipper on the cases keeps the dust out, and the outer nylon shell makes it slide in and out of my pocket easily.
Notifications are not muffled by the extra layers of fabric, the sounds pierce it quite well and is no different then being in your pocket, vibration works full as well.
Just a thought - but for something this expensive and tiny, I try to take as good care of it as possible.

Heh, well, I want to carry my recovery microsd card, which has a factory restore image on it and other recovery utilities...my usb thumb drive with all of my data, recovery tools and android SDK as well as portable programs on it...then there's the retractable USB cable and cigarette lighter adapter for a car...
The only thing I can't fit in the primary case (black/grey) is an ac adapter, but the rest fits and it's nice and slim.
The other case (red/grey/black kodak) has the second device, video cable, ac adapter and the factory usb cable. It's a bit bulkier, and not my daily travel - but still fits in an upper pants pocket without trouble.

htc one s screen light leak?

Hey folks!
Today I got myself a one s, ics is amazing and the phone is super fast. I gotta say I'm not hugely keen on the plastic cover for sim access. Feels flimsy everytime I power the phone, these gripes I can live with.
But I'm really quite frustrated by light leakibg from where the screen meets the alu case at the bottom. Is anyone else experiencing this? It's along the entire bottom and cornrs. Quite noticeable.
It's the grey version and I was happy to get a s4. Purchased yesterday from Three UK, I know they are particularly funny with returns.

Frustrating as it is I prob will learn to live with it, but I feel it spoils what could be brilliance otherwise.
I'm tempted to go look at the shop display model and ask some questions, as sad as that sounds.

The plastic covers are necessary or else you would never get reception...
The light leakage may be part of the device, but there is a chance that it could also be a defect. Go back to the shop and see if the display unit has the same issue.

Ya it's probably a defect. Mine doesnt have and light leaking.

dont have this issue in my one s S/N SH23XW
mayb its a particular product line defect.

Took the handset back, best solution was to buy the Samsung S3, hugely impressed with it.

He was referring to light leak along the underside of the glass at the bottom, not leaking light upwards from the capacitive buttons (which is indeed normal)

what' the cause of the light leakage?

[Q] Black Screen/Loose Cable?

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...

Yeah replacing the flex cable would be more difficult

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.

I need help. Plz look on YouTube and search marknoll79. Titled black screen HTC one x. Let me know if this is what u all went through

Magnetic port Loose Issues Xperia Z3

Im really mad at this , my xperia z3 magnetic port loose after a use of 2 weeks with the charging dock , thats mean im loosing waterproof , any solid fix for that ? a glue or something ? sony doesnt respond for that kind of ''issues'' ... **** sony

Just today I started noticing issues on my magnetic connecter/port, and have started to look around. The only information I've found so far is about how Sony isn't really covering this in a manner we'd expect.
*Edit* I do see that several people seem to be gluing the port back in. Not sure if anyone has had more success with Sony or their Vendor. I may, myself, contact T-Mobile at least before I try anything myself.

Mine has been fixed under warranty by UK Sony.
Unfortunately, it came out second time as well.
The problem is the magtron x2. - DO NOT BUY THAT!
Apparently, I am looking for a glue to do the job for myself…
I could send the phone back but that would be the longest solution…

Too strong magnet

the adhesive I've seen recommended is sikaflex 291, which is on amazon - it's a marine sealant apparently

just to add that the black magnetic connectors seem so much harder to find for the Z3 than the white ones, although a german retailer called handyersatzteilshop.de seems to have them, and they ship internationally

I think this could be good for the job. What do u think?

seems to tick a lot of boxes, although one or two others had temperature ranges included as part of the sales pitch - I've used that stuff before for general purposes to be honest, and it's quite fluid - when the connector falls out is there any indication as to how the original glue was applied by sony, and is there much risk of the replacement glue seeping into the rest of the phone?

I'm not sure if it would but if it's liquid then it might be hard to cover all holes for water entry. I used a clay adhesive and though it was hard to apply because the area is small, it did a great job of sealing my magnetic port so that I can still have water proof on the device and the port is very strong now.

Do you have a link to the stuff what you exactly used?
Sounds good to me.
Btw,
On Ebay there is a magnetic connector for 6pounds and I have been told that ir has the adhevies layer as well. So might better to buy that.

Well, I see your points.
The original glue like a 1mm thin rubber layer on the connector…

Water proof Gorilla Epoxy works wonders, used it to fix the LCD to my LG G2 after a screen replacement, it has a 3200 psi rating.

Are y'all yanking out the magnetic charger thing straight out? I usually just snap it off to the side so that I don't apply so much force to the charger port.

That's what I have been doing, I'm very careful with this because I know that there will be an issue of this yet no matter how careful i was it just went loose

Well if that is the case I'm a little more worried. I love the phone so far but a these little build quality things and the fact that I can't get root yet (6613) is really starting to add up.

Is that easy to apply. I mean the area is tiny and does it make it waterproof?

i just bought a new connector.
What should I use to clean the socket for the connector before I glue it?

You have to mix the epoxy and apply, it's a bit thick and gooey but you can still easily get the required amount. I used a small metal tab to get my G2s LCD fixed in place, as you know the G2 has a tiny bezel, if I used too much it would have gone into the LCD layers, but I avoided that.

sisqoboy, did you manage to fit the replacement connector, and any tips?
