[GUIDE][ADVANCED]Fix physical buttons - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Hello people..
I am writing this guide in relation to the physical button problems that are present in our phones..
PLEASE READ THE FULL GUIDE AT LEAST ONCE..
Now, before I start anything, I'd like to say that this guide is for ADVANCED and/or POWER users only..
It is NOT for everybody..
There is a perfectly good chance that you can do some serious hardware damage, the kind which will not be covered under warranty even..
Use CAUTION..
Alright..
Now, I am just gonna get started with the guide..
I have attached as many pics as possible, to make the understanding easier..
Please do excuse the quality of the pictures, my camera is getting a little old for its time now.. :angel:
Firstly, we gather the tools we'll need :
TOOLS :=
1) Your faulty phone (D'Uh!)
2) 2 screwdrivers :
a) A Torx T5 screwdriver (for the outer body screws)..
b) A "Plus" shaped screwdriver, of size 1.7 (for the board)..
3) A case opener tool, or a guitar pick, or something small and sharp..
4) A clean table..
5) An ample amount of light..
6) The most important tool : EXTREME CAUTION!!
Now that you have what you need, its time we get cracking..
Same drill as last time.. Gonna break it down in steps..
Now, before we start with the guide, let me show you a couple pics of the tools I used for this guide and my toolkit...

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
THE METHOD :=
1) Alright.. Now, firstly, we switch off the phone, and take the back cover off, remove the battery, remove the SIM card, and memory card.. If all goes well, it should look something like this..
2) Put the back cover and battery aside.. We wont be needing those for a while now..
3) Take the phone, and open the 4 screws shown in the picture with yellow circles.. Here's where you'll need the T5 screwdriver..
4) Now, keep those screws somewhere safely.. Next, take the case opener(guitar pick in my case), and gently separate the upper part from the board.. You should have to apply a little force, but not too much, and you'll hear a few "clicks" and "cracks".. Do not panic, those are normal..
5) If you do it correctly, you should have 2 pieces of your phone now.. Check the image..
6), Next up, we open two more screws using the 1.7 sized PLUS shaped screwdriver, circled in the image below..
7) Next, disconnect the connector switches from the board.. There should be three.. See the circled areas..
A word of caution here.. Be very light handed here.. I broke one switch, the result of which I'll show at the end of the tutuorial..
8) Once you lift the switches, carefully pull the cables using something sharp, but do NOT break OR scratch the cables..
9) Now, take the case opener tool, and gently lift the board.. Be careful, as directly below is the display panel.. Any weight on that will mess up your display.. You should have three pieces by now..
10) Now that we have our board, we are going to gently blow some air into the gaps under the physical buttons.. You can use a camera lens cleaner, or simply blow air with your mouth.. If you have a small keyboard brush, lightly removing dust will also help.. Make sure you dont apply pressure anywhere else on the board, you may damage something..
11) Okay.. So we're halfway there.. Now all we gotta do is pack up the phone back..
12) So first, put the board back on the display panel, taing care that the connector cables are not buried under it..
13) Once you get the board "click" in its place, connect the switches.. VERY CAREFULLY... I broke one..
14) Next come the 2 small screws that hold the board in place.. Put them back ( DO NOT get the holes confused here, there are a lot)
15) Now, we place the second back panel back on the board and display panel..
16) Place the 4 screws back into their place... Using the T5 screwdriver..
17) And we're all set.. Put the SIM, memory cards, battery back in place.. Put back the back cover, and fire it up...
Now, pray to God with all your heart and soul, and if your phone starts up, thank Him, and enjoy the physical buttons..!!
============================================================================================
A little heads up.. This is a "temporary" solution.. Meaning you'll have to repeat this guide every couple months, as a sort of 'maintainance' of your phone..
============================================================================================
Now let me show you what happens when you're not careful enough..
I was assembling the phone back after taking the pictures, and I broke the lower(small) switch in the picture below..
Here's the result of that..
Touch partly shot, along with two backlights..

nice man!

Touch screen smoothness has nothing to do with rom development...
I think what you wanna say is i wont be able to judge how smooth my builds are, as touch will not work properly...
But thats where you guys come in.. As testers...

Just the digitizer should be fine.. Lcd should be replaced when you start seeing dead pixels..

WTH how did this happen

I dont know how this happen... Now every time i hold my phone by the bottom right hand corner or tap the search button my phone creeks like its not in place i goes a slight bit down... I dont know if its cause of the heat sometimes this phone puts out or if its the back housing... Could it be both can anyone help

Mine is same thing I saw a thread before suggested to put a post-it note between the phone and back case. It helps a little, but it's not a permanent solution.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
I honestly think its a combinstion of the way it opens and the heat warping the case
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
It's because it's a case full stop - things always get loose after a while. Not a lot you can do about it tbh. Doesn't bother me
Can this issue be fixed?
I had it since I bought the phone.

take the back cover and sqeeze it in a little on both sides top and bottom not to hard though
That's what happen when you open and close the back cover too much. The back cover is made for one purpose only. To insert your sim card, SD card and battery. Once its insert, it should stay insert and no need to access the back cover anymore, unless if really required such as your phone hang which need to take out the battery. Others than that, you should not open the back cover. If you continue too much open and close the cover, of cause eventually, wear and tear will happen!! >.<

You can always contact HTC and explain what is happening and request that they send you a new back cover. many people on here (including myself ) have done this..
I did the post it note thing and that worked for me. 1 tiny piece was all it took. Lower right corner.

Just call HTC and tell them the problem they will send u a replacement back cover for free but u need to return the defective one or else they will charge u for the cost of the back cover. It also happen to my phone and I did call them and they sent me a replacement back cover now I don't have that creaking noise or whatsoever. I've been using it for a month now. Try calling and take advantage of ur warranty instead of doing a quick fix that someday the problem will come back.

I have the same problem.
From what I've heard:
-It will eventually stop after a while.
-Some cases can prevent this from happening.
-A Larger battery can help this from happening.
Mine comes and goes but its not doing it as of right now so im good for now if it happens again ill either try the post it or the little bit of bending its not a big deal

Minor Issues?!

Hello guys!
To being with a small introduction about me, as this is my first post on this forum
-
I am a new member for this forum! But certainly not a new one for the android world. This is my third droid, previously i have used Galaxy Ace and Galaxy S.
I am a student, and i love exploring new features on android. I am an app explore and i think i will soon start trying my hand on few rom developments! ( I will be getting a 5 months vaction! )
I would promise that i will be one of the active members from now on!
Coming to the device, i have it for the last few months now.. but started facing some minor problems! Wonder if anyone else have the same..
1 . When i play games for a while, my device heats up and i thought since this is summer, my body temperature might be the reason. But, i think i am wrong.. as the device heats up when i connect my phone to charger for a recharge! Wonder if someone has been facing this? Is it a software issue?
I am on 2.3.5 Official Indian Stock!
2. This is a weird problem!!! When i try to un-install any application ( By going to the main application menu >>>> then press edit and then touch the app and un-install method ) here, the app which i touch does not get un-installed and the app next to it gets un-installed! And trust me, i am not pressing the wrong app!!
And the best part of my device is, previous all my devices needed a restart after about 250 hours! It would have had some problem like wifi not switching on or some thing else and a restart would fix it. But my R has been running for more than 800 hours without a switch off and it really amazes me! But i am loving it!
And once again HELLO TO ALL MY NEW FRIENDS! would love to work with you all for the development of this amazing device!

1. Heating problem is common with all the devices nothing to worry about it, if you are using any covers on you phone remove it because when i was using mine with Silicon case it was becoming very heat at the time of the charging and playing games, now i've removed it and my phone is ok.
2. May be some problem with S/W try Factory Rest and clear the cache, if it is not solving the issue try to flash the Stock Firmware again.
Heating is normal, when I plug charger my battery temp goes upto 45 to 48 degrees. And also its a dual core device so if u do heavy use it will probably get hot

Ahhhh a former Galaxy Ace user......I am not alone
Herpderp iPad2.
No I don't care if you're anti-Apple.
1. About the device heating up while charging avoid using it for doing any processor intensive tasks e.g. Gaming while charging & remove the cover/jacket as told by mj. vikram.
About the device heating up during daily use, as you told the ambient temps do play a part in increasing the temperature odd the device.
2. You can uninstall the apps from the Task Manager by going to the Downloaded tab. You should not face the problem in that menu as it had only one option i.e. 'Uninstall'
Do update here if it solves the issue.
Hope this helps.
Do a data reset for the problem with unistalling apps or try reinstalling firmware

About the heating thing, I don't use any covers, so I believe its a software problem, but will re flash ones anyways!
And yes, I am using task manger to un-install app now!
But still, the other method should work too right? Wonder what's happening? As, the app which I don't touch gets un-installed! Lol :-\

And one more thing guys, is phone heating is due to or concerned with my phone running for about 800 hours?

Are you facing this problem with only task manger or in any other application, i am asking this because if you are facing this problem with all the apps then this may be problem with your Screen guard.

Mate, what's happening is.. When I go to menu and then press edit option and then if I uninstall a app, the app next to it gets uninstalled! Trust me I am not pressing the wrong app, I touch the right app!
I can uninstall perfectly from task manager!
And as far as screen guard is concerned, I don't think its a issue because I don't face any issue while typing or while playing or while using the screen! Its just with uninstalling, as mentioned above!
Seems strange..

Ok there's an idea to check whether its a hardware problem/software problem.
Install go launcher from market then try to uninstall any app using the Go launcher by using the same edit option as in the stock launcher and uninstalling any app by clicking on it.
If all goes fine then its a software problem but if not then its a hardware problem i.e. touchscreen problem.
Do update what's the outcome.
Hope this helps.

How's the GPS on this ROM? About to give it a whirl but I am not planning on leaving my basement apartment today. I am laid up due to severe back pain.
Seems SourceForge is having issues, they're telling me 3-4 hours to download the ROM and only one DL Server o_0
Any chance this will be available via Goo.im / GooManager?

I added the GPS package (which stated working for people) but don't know if I set the lines w permissions for gps file correctly or not cause I can't test my self (I always can't test wifi signal, gps and bluetooth due to my condition ) and I will definitely find a new host for my projects in future cause SF gave me some trouble w uploading, too...
Cool, I would suggest goo.im for convenience. If I feel up to it (and if this DL ever finishes) I might take a stroll outside later and let you know how the GPS works.

I haven't used the ROM long enough to truly judge and this is under lots of heavy use; Downloading all my apps, pre-caching my county on google maps via wifi, couple of navigation checks, etc. Also my screen was on pretty much the whole time on full brightness. Give it another day or so for more accurate results.

This ROM seems really snappy, with the spare parts animations set to fast. Phone calls are nice and clear and GPS managed to lock on withing a couple of minutes inside my basement apartment.
I am curious about the "restart" vs "reboot" option, restart seems to bypass part of the booting process (skipping the Team Acid logo). The Bootanimation is really cool but it still shows after disabling it in performance options.
I was a bit surprised that there seems to be no CM9 theming support, unless I am missing something Screen Candy only seems to only work when you hit the "Try it!" button, but not when the phone goes to sleep (by itself or manually).
Also what's up with the 4g section in the network preferences section? When I try to enable it it just comes up with "unknown" and the check box stays de-selected.

I haven't used the ROM long enough to truly judge and this is under lots of heavy use; Downloading all my apps, pre-caching my county on google maps via wifi, couple of navigation checks, etc. Also my screen was on pretty much the whole time on full brightness. Give it another day or so for more accurate results.

Gotcha, thanks. I'd hit the thanks button, but I am limited to 8 per day and I must be feeling really thankful today, because I used them all up.

Resboot option is totally reboot the phone and restart option is actually hot boot in another rom (rarely rom on ICS has thos great hot boot function...
Amd ya, like I said, there would be some settings that wont work for our device amd I will remove that 4g settings in the next build as we dont have wimax support on our device...
I will try to do some research bout theme manager but the CNA android project seems doesnt include theme chooser I think

It is not CM9 or AOKP based rom bro, it is AOSP, pure stock w bunch of advance settings...I have to cherry pick if I want that weather I think...
P/s: i am totally surprised w this rom cause I went to sleep from 1am to 7am and just 4% of batterry drained :-?

Wierd LCD Problem with Samsung Nexus S

Problem Details below:
The problem is with the screen, though there is not a single scratch or anything wrong physically..
the screen misbehaves from left side of screen, only that portion.
it automatically starts touching itself... :cyclops:
had found its solution too but it which works temporary.
have to use an electric lighter on the screen to make it stop misbehaving.
This way phone works easily for almost a day without troubles.
Please let me know if any one has a permanent solution for the problem!
In case of any further query, please post in or pm me, any help in this regard will be appreciated.
Thanks & best regards,
Mortal Eternity!
Seems to me that digitizer is broken. You'll need to replace it.

You tried changing roms, kernels, etc? This can help you identify the solution.

mad screen

hey guys soory for creating this but I really wanted to discuss I guess we all have this problem from day 2 of our pico example ya were simple. browsing opera doin nothin much suddenly ya observe that screen starts to zoom in zoom out and even clicks at certain place repeatedly again and again the place is at top right of screen generally why it happen it gets solved by locking and unlocking screen
for sometime only after some time ya back on track and typing this made me do above 3 times as p was auto pressing with every key **** no its not about Rom I guess
looks like I was only one with this might be my screen guard on np
It happens sometime just clean the screen regularly

it's not about cleaning the screen.
Something internal is causing it.
Simple lock and unlock end the madness of the screen.

No, its because sometimes there is dirt and oil accumulated on the screen as they may be charged substances they conflict with the capacitive touch screen as the capacitive screen senses a finger wherever there is that charge so cleaning the screen fixes it !

That's because of a cheap charger, don't use chargers other than HTC one , for me LG charger is also fine but other chargers like cheap Chinese ones even with same output makes screen wild

No it's not the case you are saying about. It happens to me also and only when my net connection is on.
Removing dust particles/cleaning doesn't help.
And exactly the point of wildness is in the top right side.
