Hi all, bad news!
My Titan no longer recognizes the microsd card in the slot. I have used 3 different cards that work fine in a microsd->sd->USB adapter that we all got with our cards. I tried blowing into the slot (ala the NES) and that was no good.
Any ideas on what might be done? Compressed air? Disassembly is OK if there's a clear idea of what I'm trying to accomplish in there, but I don't want to take it apart without a specific task.
This phone has to last me until the Touch Pro2 comes out for CDMA/EVDO!

PS. Posted in general because it's not really specific to Titan hardware.
Are all of the contacts making contact? If so, and it still doesn't work. You are up a creek IMO.
How would I know if the contacts are making contact? They appear to work in my laptop adapter. I went down the lab and blew some (very expensive) compressed air into the slot for 30 seconds or so and tried again -- no luck.
I suppose some foreign object could be lodged in there preventing contact and resistant to being blown out but that seems unlikely...
I mean the contacts inside the phone. Those cards require metal to metal contact to make a circuit and work. I dunno how it is setup in your phone but in mine there are some flexible little metal contacts that are bent up and are pushed down by the card when it is inserted. If one of them were to lose its bend over time it would no longer push against the card. I could just use my nail or something and bend it back out so it would once again apply pressure. Like I said though, dunno how your phone makes contact.
I poked in there with a paper clip (battery disconnected!) and counted the metal tines by feel -- they seem to all be properly "deployed".
When I go into Settings-->Memory-->Storage card, it says "not installed". Does that mean card not installed or card reader not installed (e.g. a hardware fault elsewhere?)

This is exactly what happened with the NES. Every once in a blue moon you'd find one with a corroded terminal, or possibly 2 crossed. Try wiggling it (abeit more gently) just like in days of old when excitebike wouldn't play.
I dropped my three-week old HTC one X on driveway by accident. The screen was shattered like a spiderweb. So I ordered a HTC One X screen/digitizer replacement from Amazon.
Today I tried to follow each step described in youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceHw6mezG60). In the last step when tried to separate glass screen from LCD, the LCD was ruined.
The glass and LCD were glued very tight. In my opinion, it is almost impossible to separate them safely. There are some differences in cables and connectors between the US version and the one showed in youtube (i assume it is the international version). There is one cable in the AT&T version that is very hard to disconnect.
Just to be clear, I consider myself very handy in electronics. I hope you can learn from my lesson. Tomorrow, I am going to send the phone to HTC repair center. Since I voided the warranty by disassembling it. I have no idea how much they will charge me.
i learned my lesson on this with a friends Inspire 4G...I have changed many many iphone screens, but the Inspire was a whole different ball game, and i would expect the One X to be even worse.
You are right, pay someone to do it.

Why don't you just order the whole LCD/digitizer/glass module? And of course the things gunna be hard to separate, you need to heat it up A LOT to loosen the glue

Agreed
I learned my lesson with iphone/ipad digatizers. Of course its less than half the price for just the digi but the lcd/digi combo is definitely the way to go. If you do get it separated you have a lot of cleaning to do to get all the old glue/glass off and they are much harder to get back together than you would think. Also invest in a good set of tools. The tools are garbage that they send with the parts.

A screen is about $50, and a screen/LCD combo is at least $180. If I knew it was so hard to separate, I would probably order the combo. Another concern is, I am not really sure that the LCD/glass combo from ebay is as good as that from HTC.
Fyi I had HTC replace my cracked screen. They also replaced the housing (new case, yay) for some reason. They had it for two days plus 3 days shipping time to get it back. Total cost was $220. I'm handy in electronics but seems this is the way to go for now based on costs for the full assembly. They really had great service through the process and you can track the repair online.

Oh how I wish I saw this thread before..
So I sure did break my digitizer.. and when I tried to replace it, it sure was glued to the LCD, and it did come apart lol. On the brighter side, I got a new digitizer and tools, I ordered an LCD but they shipped the wrong one.. but I will say this, I don't think it's that hard to take apart and reassemble.. aside from everything being glued together, and from what I gather the international version is not this way. Everything seems to make sense. I am starting to get lonely without her working. Sometimes I ADB into her just to say hi, mount my storage and make sure I got everything out just in case I butterfingers it and short something out. So aside from my agreement, here are the lessons I have learned.
1) Have a hair dryer handy, that glue is like concrete.
2) Don't just tug that battery cable out, the wires will come out of a socket (took 2 hours to get em back in)
3) For those of you whose digitizers and LCD's are broke.. "adb shell /system/bin/sdutil ums enable" will mount your storage so you can backup some stuff.
4) That torx screw driver you think you might need, haven't seen a torx screw yet, just loads of glue.
5) Take pictures of stuff before you disconnect it, and how you disconnected it for reference in reassembly.
6) This is the correct part # for the LCD 60H00664-01P, except no substitutes.
7) There are little crystal gluey things on the back of the digitizer that go through the case and transfer light. Don't expect them to fully light up ever again without remembering to move them (if you can)
8) It's worth fixing, sure I pre-ordered an HTC-One, but my One X will remain my phone because I love her, she's my first HTC and by far my best android ever. My HTC-One will be for Dev purposes >
9) Resist the urge to take the heat shield off to see if you can upgrade your storage by some kind of hidden micro sd, even if there is one, I'm sure it's got 5lbs of that crappy glue AT&T insisted upon.
10) If you think you want to change your digitizer just to rid your self of the AT&T logo, It's not worth it, I'm in it for 18$ for the digitizer and $43.99 for the LCD. Sure it's worth the money, but my sanity is long gone, I will name my next dog sanity.
You guys are the best ever! Good luck! God Speed!

I think I might do this if AT&T doesn't let me take my upgrade early to the One. So you would recommend HTC to do this? Just out of curiosity, was your phone rooted/romed when you sent it in? How long ago was this done for you?

Well..
Not that if he can't do it no one can, but the threshold of glue being heated to separation vs. the heat destroying the lcd is so close.. and the parts are so cheap to get independantly of one another. In the words of the hunger games.. may the odds be forever in your favor.

Hmm..
LOL figures I would run into a problem like this, new screen stops the phone from booting, old screen fires up the phone, if i plug in the new one while its running, the new one works fine, if i restart, back to death.. i could reassemble with it still running and pray i never need to restart my phone, but that would be messed up.. any ideas?
I've never had problems with it. Even while drinking. Just apply heat, then pull. If it doesn't come that easily, then it isn't hot enough or hasn't heated evenly.
Btw the combo fpr screens and digitizer rins $50-75 on eBay

Hello
Alright, so I had my lcd digitizer combo replaced, since the glass was broken. At first the lcd didnt work because it was AOM or something like that and wasnt Sharp's model like originally, but i syncded it as follows:
1.Took out the battery
2.Connected the old screen
3.Put back your battery
4.Start your phone
5.Wait about 2min to be sure
6.Take the old screen and replace it by the new
7.Press power button
8. Should be running and working.
But now.. after assembly it does detect the sim card, but gets no signal, so i cant make calls go to internet etc.. But wlan however does work ?
is there something I broke in the progress or ..
Hoping for some help, thanks

Sure sounds like you didn't re-connect the cell antenna correctly. Those ribbon cables are a *****. Could also be the little EMI tabs that come off of the blue antenna PCB and connect to the case, I would think (just guessing, as I'm staring at my disassembled phone right now).

I highly doubt you can replace it yourself, the back is one whole peice, I'm gonna say that your gonna have to take it to a retail store so they can replace it for you bcuz I kinda asked the same question at the store and they said to just bring in the phone and we'll replace it for you but im not too sure about that, if you don't mind taking apart your phone to replace a battery you could buy a battery from amazon or eBay and just look up how to tear down the one s but the decision is all yours, its your device.....hopefully this kinda helped you

Dont quote me on this but I've read while it's not hard to take the back out, the battery appeared to be soldered or some other way permanently attached. Not the battery itself but the wires coming from it. I heard the wires aren't just a clip connection to the board but soldered or some other way

Allow me to disagree. It appears to be a very straight forward task. You have to:
1. Remove the two plastic covers
2. Unscrew 4 screws
3. Unplug the old battery and plug in the new one
4. Screw the 4 screws, mentioned in step 2
5. Place back the plastic covers
If that sounds dangerous to you, maybe you are probably right not to do it yourself.
P.S. I do not take any responsibility whatsoever for other people's skills or lack of skills and the potential damage they may cause to their devices

Yup check the video posted in this thread by z3ra7ul, post #7 its a real nice teardown vid
You guys seem to have this pretty well covered but just thought I'd include my experience as well. A few days ago I replaced the damaged housing on my International One S because somebody was interested in buying it but then wasn't interested in my asking price because the warranty was now void..
Anyway, it was super easy. Only difference is that, while the one in the video's lower cover just pops off, mine is double-sided stickied in an elaborate pattern and was rather difficult to remove. The sticky stretches out and needs to be put back into place. It was even more difficult to get it back on properly.. but I finally got it.
But yes, The battery is easy to get at, but I don't remember seeing a connector for it (but I wasn't really looking for it specifically.. just checking things out). So I wonder if the EU version is soldered and the US version is connector?

Do you mean the used some double sided tape?
Basically you just need to pop off the top cover, then the bottom with a case opener, remove a few screws, then CAREFULLY dislodge the case from the rest of the device, be very careful here because if you use too much force the metal will bend! Then you can just use tweezers to pull the battery connector off and you can remove the battery.

Just noticed that the micro SD card won't stick in the slot, the spring retainer latch seems to be defective suddenly on my (~1 year old) Sensation. I push the card in, it 'clicks in' for a second, then springs back out again. Anyone else experiencing this? Can't see any easy way to open/repair this, so I think I can see a bodge repair coming up, unless anyone has any other better ideas of how to resolve this?

I'm hoping for your sake its just clogged up with crap. If so you could try a very light spray with lubricant like WD-40 or CRC, or similar.

Having poked around it seems the micro-spring retainer on the reader housing has lost it's strength, if I push down on it with a pin and insert the card, it clips in normally, when I release the pin, it pops out. Cheap components. When I fashion a 'fix' I’ll post it here so others can do the same should they also come across this problem.
I am also suspecting this to be the cause of random reboots that have happened in recent weeks, any apps stored on your SD card won't be too happy if the card is half out whilst trying to run!
Cheap internal mechanical components
OK so I've fashioned a temporary fix to hold the sd card in using is small sliver of plastic packaging taped to the card slot and sim slot. It will have to do as I don't see any realistic way to disassemble the card reader without destroying it. See attached images for detail.
While I was doing this, I very gently checked the silver contact on the side of the phone that grounds the case, the contact that is attributed to people having touch screen issues, amongst others, this contact just fell off! It seems the build quality of these phones may not be up to much I'm afraid. Mine is an early model, so perhaps newer ones have better components, but just a heads up that after a year of usage, it is starting to fall apart I am not especially rough with the phone and haven't attempted to take it apart of mess around too much with the internals....

I've got that sd card lock problem also. My sd card also won't stick on the SD card locker of my Sensation. What I've done is bringing it back for repair to a special in repair shop from Vodafone . That was about 4 months back. The repair was free of charge for me. Hopefully it can repairs yours as well.

A bit of the black part of the antenna that is circled in the picture kind of broke off when i was disassembling my phone. I think this is the thing that controls your phone signal. If it is, does anyone know if this will stop my signal completely and mean I have to buy a new antenna? I have no way of checking because I broke the cable connecting the antenna to the main board (don't ask) and the replacement doesn't arrive for a while. (The picture attached isn't the picture of my exact phone. It's from google images. But its the same model) The other 4 thingies are still in tact but the thing circled is broken off.

This question cannot be answered without testing. Try it, if it works, the answer is no, if not, the answer is yes.
Unfortunately, waht exad said. Stuff like that is so unpredictable. Keep in mind that pretty much EVERYTHING on modern phones is tiny. There are entire chips and resistor packs that would be described as miniscule, but are critical.
If you have it apart already, and can find a replacement part and it's easy enough to replace, I'd hedge my bets and just replace it while I'm in there rather than putting it back together and learning the hard way that you have to go through it all again.
