I saw in another thread something about LG replacing digitizers for $75. I haven't looked into it but if that's the case it might be worth the extra $20 to let them do it.

Not to salt a wound, but how does one do that to Gorilla glass?

Next time your mad. Throw a cheaper phone.

been there
I just broke mine recently too, I ordered a white replacement digitizer on ebay, originally thought I would receive the whole assembly as most are advertised with the housing that has volume /power buttons, I got just the screen still easy fix though it required some tough gloves and a screwdriver to break all the old digitizer out and some impact proof superglue to put old one in though it worked, and now i have a black and white g2x its quite nice here's a link to a video on how to replace it.
I would recommend for ease of replacement to get a black one with the housing (volume and power buttons) attached. much much easier to replace.

dude, that's seriously sick. is your battery door still that weird brown color? i found one white digitizer on ebay for $78. is that what you paid?

I sent mine to LG (well, Stellar Wireless) after I dropped it, and they swapped it out for me for $40. Unfortunately, the one they sent me had non0functioning 4G and GPS, so I had to send it back in and I'm waiting for my replacement to be returned to me.

I ordered the digitizer from eBay. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to replace

So i wanna see what happen to you if the phone looks like that. Dang man thats bad about the phone but its fix able. Unless you want to sell the phone to me for $50 ill take her off your hands

My new digitizer should be here in a couple days, seems a whole lot easier to repair than my last phone, so I will update on how it goes. My biggest thought is about getting dust or anything between the LCD and digitizer. :/

looks like a nasty fall did you have a screen protector on it or even a case? or were you rocking the naked look? just curious

Naked of course lol I don't think anything would've protected it tbh

I've got the idea of making this one while googling "DYI smartphone dock" and found, you don't say, a wooden one.
Hope you like it!

It's very nice ,enjoy it!

Awesome! I love that it has the cutout to accommodate the cable, looks great! :good:

Thats neat!! Very unique, good job

Nope! The only things the phone touches are the wires that hold the nfc chip and the LEDs in front. Also I covered the top edge with clear tape just to be safe. and my phone is in a case anyways

BTW on ETSY there are real wood backs, laser cut for 20usd to replace the glass

Which is much better? AMOLED or LCD Display ?

I'd say that depends on personal choice. What may look good to one person, may look like craps to someone else

Wasn't being defensive at all, a lot of people in these forums have notice a lot of M8 users trolling here, tons of comments have been removed by mods because of this. I guess just by looking at your Sig I wasn't able to see the fact you owned more than one phone...Fanboy? (I know what it means, just don't understand the derogatory use of it here).

[Q] Advice pro or pro

Hello
I have to questions
I am maybe going to buy a secondhand surface pro 2. But can anyone tell me how can we if it is really a pro2 and not just a pro? Can I tell from the outside? The inside specs are 256ssd 8gb icore5. And I looked at the battery it said 73% charged and showed about 2hrs43min left is that normal? Shouldn't the battery be better on the pro2¿
My second question I also have possibility to buy a secondhand pro. Whats the average battery time there, I would be thinking if I buy the pro with not so good battery as the pro and buy the battery keyboard from Microsoft it should be alright? At advice opinions? Thanks and appreciated

.Easiest way is the kickstand only has one position on the original Pro. Plus, the model label is etched underneath the Kickstand.

The Pro 2 in my opinion, Is largely the same unit but with some welcome changes. Battery life is ALWAYS variable based on usage. Given the choice I would opt for the more updated Pro 2. If battery life becomes an issue then you can the power keyboard like you mentioned.

Kickstand. Pro 1 has only 1 position, Pro 2 has 2 positions

cool thanks. thats indeed a good teller if its a 1 or 2
and further to the battery usage does anyone have any advice? how long should a battery still last on a pro 2 with 72% left?
i think the tablet was woken from sleep as it immediatley tunred on the tile screen.
is the wrong thread?

Its hard to answer that since the battery life will vary based on how bright the screen is and how hard you are running the CPU.

Led cover view case

Any way to customize the led on this case? When I first installed it, it prompted me to download additional stuff to enable more features I guess, but I don't see anything new. Since then, I removed and reapplied the case the download message never came up again.

Let's see some photos!

Put the LED Cover back on, then go to Settings > Advanced Features > Accessories.
You can customize icons for specific phone numbers.

Thanks. I despise cases on phones, but I also hate carrying a wallet, too. This looks like it might work! How many cards can you fit in there?

Just one.
I admit, I got this case because the LED looks so gimmicky and cool!

I just put a public transportation card inside, with a little bit of value. Nothing important, just in case I lose it.

I also bought the LED case as I had one for my Note 4. It may be gimmicky but it looks very cool.

It's not unusual for that to happen but it's still worrying. I assume your phone survived ok?

I bought this case. It is kind of tacky, but it does work with a tempered glass screen protector [which is the most important part].
The LEDs make for a good conversation piece, but that's about it. I probably overpaid and have some buyer's remorse, but function trumps style in this case.

I love how you can create your own icons. I had this case on my Note 4 a couple of years ago and I loved it but back then it was very basic.
