Hello again xda,
today I got another One S which is pretty damaged on the outside for just 5 bucks (ridiculous right?!). Now I wanted to disassemble it, but I got to an problem. As I removed the bottom cover there was an another cover under it and I don't know if/how I should remove it. The whole screen is cracked and case is pretty scratched so I have to disassemble it completly. In the attatchments is a picture of it.
Greetings,

Just remove that the same way you removed the previous. I tried to take a picture with my old sh!tty nokia. Also this could be useful:

I dropped the phone and broke the back camera glass cover. I ordered the part online.. but after a few days, a black spot appeared on my lens (if you open the camera app). Initially, I thought it was a dust or something but after the replacement glass came in, I tried to clean it but it won't come off.. so, now I'm thinking it's a scratch. So... it looks like I need to replace the camera. Has anyone else done it? I want to... but, I don't to bother if a replacement won't be the original quality.

It's not that I don't know how... I've watched tutorials. Quality is the issue.

While the replacement part you linked to is probably perfectly fine quality, and don't get me wrong I absolutely love DIY, in this case I'd recommend you bring it in for official repair that way you know the repair parts new and are coming from Samsung itself, and not just someone who is selling parts claiming there new.

Fortunately you can easily reset the flash counter so Samsung will never be able to tell you flashed CM10 using triangle away.

Hi guys,
Having stupidly smashed by screen by dropping the phone, I've followed the guides to disassemble the phone and the new part is on its way. So far so good. When I took the screen out, a certain amount of the glue came with it.
Should I either
(a) Just fit the new screen with the existing glue and assume it'll be fine, even though there isn't glue all the way round, or
(b) Buy some more glue, take off all the old stuff and reapply new glue? If so, what glue do I need?
Sorry if this is already answered somewhere else, but I couldn't find it.
Thanks in advance!

Cheers, realised that I probably did need new stuff, so got some of this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adhesive-Digitizer-Incredible-Thunderbolt-Sensation/dp/B005GITURA
Hopefully will do the trick!
I have the dreaded "dust under screen" issue on my Sensation and getting too bad to ignore. I know there are many threads here and videos online for REPLACING the digitizer. As the digitizer is not damaged i want to lift it, clean and refit with 3M double sided tape. I cant find any video on removing and refiting without replacing the digitizer.
Does anyone know if:
The digitizer can be romoved without damaging the cable?
Remove without damaging/distorting the digitizer when seperating from the screen?
Can the digitzer be lifted off screen without disassembling the phone? (Preferred option)
I have searched and cant find any info both on XDA and elsewhere. I know the digitizers can be bought cheaply but id rather not have to take the phone apart to replace it.
it took me 1min to google for this

I guess you misread my post..... it would have taken less than a minute to read it properly.
I see lots of videos and info on replacing the digitizer but i dont want to do that. I asked for info on removing/lifting the digitizer without having to fit a new one. I want to know if anyone has done this without damaging the digitizer taking it apart from the screen. I have searched LOTS for the relevant ino but cant find answers.

well, if you want to remove the dust then that's the only way to do it..
Update
Just confirming that It is possible to remove and refit the digitizer without breaking it.

As shown in the many online videos and like the link posted above. Just dont cut the ribbon cable.
I bought a toolkit and 3m tape online. Really the only tools needed are a guitar pick(for seperating lcd/digitizer), torx bit, small flat screw driver or similar for prising plastic motherboard cover and a bic pen cap for lifting ribbon cable connectors and pulling cable out.
Must be disassembled as the digitizer cable has little slack for it to be lifted, Make sure you heat well with a hair dryer (heatgun not needed) and dont push the guitar pick too far in as it spreads the adhesive onto the lcd and back of digitizer. Be extra careful at the top corners as I slightly marked the area inside top left border.It can be hard cleaning both surfaces, if u ever fit a screen protector you will know what I mean, just twice as hard.
Powered up first time but left side of keyboard numbers were not working and screen was a bit slow to respond. Stripped phone again to check digitzer cable connections and all were ok.
Flashed a calibration file found on this site and its working fine now. S-OFF and Super CID are required for this so best to do before you start.
Note: Dust was getting in both sides on mine and gathering in the centre. When I cleaned the LCD I noticed, under the heavy dust gathered in the centre, the screen was permanently marked. I guess screen was burned but it cant be seen when the screen is on.
Why would you go through all this trouble? This is covered by your HTC Guarantee.
I allready had the screen replaced one time because of dust. Second time because my phone got sunburned (see sig.) and because dust and now on my "new"device I'm seeing dust again. Getting really tired of it. Haven't had a 100% good phone for 1 day during the first of 2 years contract

Except HTC never fixes this problem. Everytime I sent my phone to them, they just keep cleaning out the dust, nut of course it fills up with dust in a matter of weeks again.
Bought another phone off eBay, haven't looked back since. No dust, no nothing.

I bought my Sensation used so I had no receipt. Would probably have to go back to stock, S-ON, be without phone for a few weeks etc which was just too much hassle.
Really wasn't too much trouble and it can be done in 20mins.
Hey guys,
I was always a little disapointed about the picture quality of my camera. When I looked at the lens, I could see some dust, but it was on the inside.
Yesterday I found this video, which explains how to replace basicly every part of the device.
So I just removed the cover and was able to carefully clean the lens from the inside, and bam, nice pictures again .
Just FYI, for those who have the same problem.

I faced same problem recently as my camera's shots were poor. Then I realised it must be the glass protection over it that is tampered. Got it sorted out at a service center. Anyway this video you pointed out is ideal and explains how to replace each and every part. Ofcourse warranty saves you a lot of trouble, this is for out of warranty servicing.
I too tried disassembling my phone , but I couldn't go beyond those 6 screws because the black case (which in the video is removed by a pick) wouldn't come out...tried every thing
Even broke my nails in the process .
So I have to live with this ****y dusty lens
Is there any other way ?
It is pretty hard to get it off. You need patience and the plastic tool. I used a screwdriver and damaged my chrome surrounding . So just be very carefull and follow the instructions in the video. It worked for me .
something that you cannot see in the video is that in order for screen to pop out you have to push it out pressing the speaker behind
Useful
A very useful video. Thanks for sharing
awsum
perfect thanks for sharing this video but i i would rather go to the service center to do the mentioned work...its may damage your device if you are a bit irresponsible

Yep, you really need to be careful.
I scrached my chrome frame while opening it. But it was already a little damaged before, so I don't really care
i got a wire broke when i'm disassembling the phone
even motherboard i removed
that wire is related with signal
i got panicked luckily i found the only shop in my area that sell that wire eventhough it for s2
so the conclusion disassemble properly without blaming anyone for your own mistake

I used a microfibre cloth with a little glass cleaner. Just dont spray it in the device but in the cloth instead, and always be very carefull.
But where is the video....
Sorry for not seeing the highlighted video link

Hello, I am going to change the back cover for a friend who has broken camera glass and I see that there are several models, SM-A125F, A125F/DS, A125F/DSN ...... are all the covers the same or Each has its own? thank you.
EDIT: Well yes, it is the same for everyone, I already found out and changed.
