I recently purchased a bare bones screen assembly and while in the process of moving my previous Nexus' innards, I accidentally switched the two. For the longest time, I've tried flashing OS's, stock ROMs, and even replaced my entire charging port/mic flex assembly as recommended by others here. All helpful tips and suggestions and narrowed down possible causes.
So for those of you with this issue, learn from my mistakes, this little change will save you time, money, and from days of head banging and hair pulling.
Hope someone finds this useful and informational, even if it was something so minuscule and seemingly irrelevant.

Forgot to remove "stickers" from digitizer

I replaced the digitizer on my sensation 4G a while ago and the entire screen stopped working after like a month. It was also overheating which makes me think it might be a software issue, but I have no way of knowing. So anyway, I was about to take apart the entire thing to try and find the problem and I noticed something while watching a tear-down video. Before the guy in the video put the digitizer in, he removed the sticker things from the digitizer, which you can see in the image below (the yellowish one with blue-green writing). I didn't take them off, and when I did there was a sticky residue left behind. Could this have caused the screen to stop working after a month? If yes, is there a way to get it to work again without getting another digitizer (and LCD probably)?

Is this "new" battery used?

Just bought this off Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DRODFNK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I'm pretty sure it's used. For those of you who have replaced your battery, is there any chance this is new and I'm crazy before I return?

Thanks.
*Note*
I bought from the US supplier, Everyday Source.
I need some help finding a legitimate battery also
That scrape down the middle combined with wrinkles definitely looks like it was originally glued in, and someone shoved a spudger or something underneath to pry it out.
A new OEM battery should cost about $20USD. As a general rule, if the price seems too good to be true, then it usually is. The description in the link says nothing about the battery being new either.
That's what I thought. The battery is going back. BTW, it's listed in the inventory field as new from the place I ordered.

[Q] car mod question (tablet replacing the head unit in a 2003 Civic)

I've seen plenty of people pull out their radios and replace them with a tablet; usually a Nexus 7 or similar, as that easily fits into the Double DIN slot most cars have. but that only takes over radio duty. I was wondering if anyone has tried replacing the climate controls as well.

I was thinking since the Radio & A/C cluster is so large, and (for me, anyway) wastes so much space, why not put a large tablet in there, it could probably take a 10" (maybe 12") screen. then the climate buttons and knobs could probably be replaced with an arduino setup.
I haven't even started doing this yet, I was wondering if anyone else had tried this or not

Blu energy xl, replace charging port

I've came to the conclusion that my charging port is bad, or disconnected from the board inside. I've my reasons to believe so due to exhaustive testing and fix attempts trying every other means.
I'm a techy and I'm definitely in my element by repairing a phone.
I'd like some info or guides to follow along about cracking this phone open and checking the soldering connection from the port to the board, or, if necessary, to replace it. I'd hate to go into it blind.
I'd like to get the phone on and get the model number but no luck.
It's a blu energy xl and here's a picture:

}
After extensive googling, I can't even find out if it's possible to crack open this phone without breaking it. Is it possible?
It's not the pure xl, or studio, or anything else. As far as I'm aware it's just blu energy xl.
