Hey, so I'm pretty new to the forums. My bottom ccover on my lg g5 keeps unlatching on its own. The button on the side to release the battery doesnt work. I'm going to buy a replacement bottom cover and see if that fixes the issue. Anyone have any idea on why it won't latch.?

I googled and couldn't find any information. My CDMA Touch Pro and my CDMA Diamond both have the stylus sensor, however I can't tell if my newly acquired Fuze has one.
With the CDMA Touch pro, you can actually see a little switch that springs out when the stylus is pulled out. The CDMA Diamond's switch is hidden. I looked at the Fuze and I can't see a switch.
Thanks.
My stylus sensor is physically broken. Has anyone replaced this switch before? Know where to get a spare part?
Stylus Sensor
Yes, the Fuze does have a stylus sensor which would explain the ability for it to turn on from stylus removal and ability to launch the notes application during a call. The sensor is somewhat a little switch, remove the stylus from its silo, take a flashlight/led light and shine it into the silo and you will clearly see a little switch, which I believe should be the sensor.
When I remove my stylus during a call, despite that feature being enabled, the notpad never opens. This is what initially led me to wonder if the Fuze has a sensor at all. I guess mine may be broken.
I took a look down the silo and can't see anything that looks like the switch I see in my cdma touch pro or diamond. Can another Fuze user please tell me how far away form the bottom of the phone the switch is located?
NVM, I found it. It's on the right side of the silo wall with the screen facing down about 2 cm in.
It helps if you slide the battery cover off. The switch is located just below where the battery cover meets the case.
The switch breaks very easily. If you've ever forced the stylus into the silo, you've more than likely broken the switch.
Yes, I examined my silo very carefully and I found the spot where the switch is supposed to be, however it seems it has broken off.
Has anyone ever replaced this sensor?
my is broken too. so I bumping tread
Mine broke the evening I first tried my new Raphael.
I remember a very tiny thingie dropped on the floor but when only 30min later I realized that must have been the notch that operates the switch it was gone.
You can send in your Raphael for warranty but I did not do that as I did not find the hassle (phone gne for 3 weeks at least) to weight against the pro's (working switch).
HTC did not want to ship me a spare notch to fiddle in myself 9wich would be te best/cheapest solution for all.
Stylus Lock
This is the stylus lock switch, see red circled in attached picture.
I think its rather very hard to de-solder & re-solder it.
Recently i lost my Touch - Pro ( MB gone) & i am selling working part for helping others.
If you people are interested i can give you the complete IO part & no need to replace switch.

i need some replacement on my raph -- pleasecontact me
Hi there. I have a pebble blue16gb S3 that's currently on the fritz. Some people are recommending a jtag service to force a stock rom back onto my s3. I've got others that are telling me my emmc chip is probably bad and that a jtag probably won't help my issue at all. Anyway, I've been cruising craigslist and I found a 16gb pebble blue s3 that has a cracked screen. In the pictures I was sent the crack is right down the middle. The guy selling it says the LCD display wont show up at all, but in some pictures the back button and the other button light up as well as the blue notification light on top were working in the picture. He's selling the device for $90. I checked the IMEI he gave me on swappa.com/ESN and its said its ready for activation. I asked the craigslist seller how the device was damaged and he said he got into a car accident going 60mph and he was hit by a drunk driver and the phone hit the dash. I have a buddy of mine who is willing to take the motherboard from this phone and switch it out with my phone, but he expressed concern that the fact the LCD won't display anything and he thinks the motherboard may have suffered some kind of damage in the crash causing the device not to display. He also noted that he has seen phones with cracks all over and the lcd still displays something. Can anyone shed some light as to how much impact a Verizon SIII motherboard can absorb and if its possible for the screen to totally not work, but the board itself be fine? Thank you very much!
Im not sure if this was the right thread to post this question either, but I hope it is. Thanks!
Also just wondering, is the notification light at the top and the lighted back button and the function button by home at the bottom run through the same connection that controls the display?

I repair these devices and I'll say that you should just stay away from an S3 with a blacked out LCD. The repair for the LCD is about $300. Just a cracked glass may run you anywhere from $80-$150 for repair. The motherboard could be damaged, but there is really no way to tell unless the screen is on. I doubt it would be broken, though... I would look at it to see if the metal frame around the screen were bent or warped. If not, I doubt it would be. If the soft keys light up, you should also hear the volume turn up.... this checks to see if the speaker works.
But with a busted LCD... too much cost to fix that and not worth it. May as well buy a new one.

So should I just pass on this craigslist phone? All I wanted was the board from it and switch it out with my motherboard that is on the fritz.
So my photon Q is rather old. Shocking I'm sure. Recently the screen has started behaving very oddly. Flickers, sensitivity is weird, blacks out etc..
I thought perhaps flex ribbon due to keyboard sliding and closing but now I think may be digitizer or the lcd. I"m leaning towards digitizer becasue when it does work it looks perfectly clear. But there will be the one time i push the power to check if I have anything and nothing happens. Reset it and can see the screen wants to do something but can't decide what. Reset over and over and eventually boots up fine.
Digitizer?
Thanks for any info.
Anybody able to chime in
Flickering screen can't have anything to do with the digitizer. The digitizer is just there for input.
It could be that the connector is a bit loose on the mainboard. The way the Photon is designed I wouldn't think it's the ribbon. I could be, but very unlikely. Anyway it's worth looking into the connectors and just to be sure the ribbon as well. But that would take a full dismantle. The connector is just 5 minutes work.
Next time try booting into recovery. If that goes well (and regular boot not) i'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem (GPU).

When boot in any mode Ican't see anything.. A fading circle of grey lines runs vertically down the front. Sometimes after many reboots it fixes itself though. Good to know not digitizer. So take apart and check ribbon and maybe replace LCD likely?
I wonder if it is possible to simply replace the LCD if it's defective or if you have to replace the whole LCD-digitizer-speaker-etc set (which is expensive).

I ordered a replacement lcd screen so will find out. I also ordered the digitizer and flex cable.
So i'm thinking it may be more hardware involved than screen inolved. When it does work everything is usable and it works fine. This is only about 10% of the time at this point. Otherwise it boots up to show some vertical lines traveling down the middle of the screen but only in a circle in the middle of the screen that fades as it gets close to the edges. I'll try taking apart tomorrow night to see if ribbon and what not looks ok. But so far i've invested about $70 into parts and i'm thinkin about just snagging an S5 for $100. I will miss the keyboard though although I can hope that like the s3 and s4, the s5 will get a keyboard attachment. Thoughts?
If I remember correctly the LCD comes with the ribbon and camera connected. The digitizer is connected via a ribbon to a board in the top of the front panel. You could try to disable the pin. When the phone doesn't seem to work, reboot and try calling yourself. If it rings, there's something wrong with the screen and not the phone.
If there was something seriously wrong with the phone, it wouldn't boot. But that's just me guessing/assuming.
My daughter's Photon has had a digitzer replacement twice. And it looks like it's been used to play football. But that one still rocks. No quirks or any strange behavior for that matter.
What I'm trying to say is that the Photon is a decent piece of hardware. A family of four, we all have a Photon. Three of which have had their digitizer replaced and one an LCD (scratched it when replacing digitizer).
I swapped my Razr HD for an Z2. It was time for a new corporate phone. So that, and the camera, is the reason why I went for a Z2. My options were 930/G3/S5/Z2. S5 is not my cup of tea. The G3 has no ruggedness whatsoever. The 930, apart from WP maybe I should have went for it.
So it came down to the Z2. To be honest I'm looking to trade it when the Z3 compact arrives. We'll see.
@Loader009
Digitizer is a part, board for speaker is a part, the speaker itself is a part (adhesive, watch out, btw 100% the same as Droid4), and the LCD is a part on it's own.
Going to open up my phone tonight after work. I was bored and was just playing with the keyboard sliding it open and closed a bunch and now the screen looks perfectly clear.. although sometimes it will still black out and I have to reboot it a few times to get it back. I feel its more a connection inside like you stated earlier. I love my Photon and really don't want to have to get a non slider phone. New phone's are so friggin huge lol.
The good thing is, the PQ has gotten pretty cheap, so you might want to get a used one at ebay if the part to replace is too expensive.
flickering screen (backlight) is not lcd problem.
for 70% is it problem on mainboard - backlight ic. This problem is caused by using unoriginal charger.
and 30% flex problem
I had my screen become un-responsive etc, it was due to a crack in the ribbon. Swapped it out & all ok.
Easier to swap the whole screen assy than to change the ribbon, but depends on what spares you have/can get.
You'd need to have a good look at the ribbon for any damage.

Put new digitizer on LG G2 old one had no display at all. Put it on and now on start up LG screen it has verticle white lines. On actual screen the touch works but display is foggy(especially on bottom) and very sensitive typing. From reading on here appears to be software issue maybe? Not recognizing LCD? Do I need a kernel download? This is not my phone so don't want to do anymore than I have to get working. It is running original software that came with phone. It is AT&T. Honestly most of what I've read is way over my head. Laymen terms would be good. Thanks in advance.
Do you like to crack LG Tribute hd (LS676) hardware issues?
=======================================
Thanks for looking into my thread. I did review some threads that shows valuable insights from this forum. I like to present the issue , I have. This issue need related to hardware issue of the Smart phone.
I opened a thread in android that describe the issues in details:
I did talked with LG support and learned that keeping the phone in Jeans pocket or applying pressure to the phone cause the issues I have. The screen bent can also cause same issues.
I did google search and found a piece that suggest the screen protector/phone cover cause extra pressure. This phone was dropped awhile ago and has crack bottom right area. It did not cause any issue that time. I am not sure, what are the components in this area.
I did remove the screen protector and apply pressure bottom right area while powering on. The screen is coming with dial pad and going back to wide white vertical lines.
Repairing thru LG repair cost much more than phone price.
If this not a right forum for this issue, let me know the right forum to open this thread.
what are the components in bottom right area?
How do I fix these issues?
Thanks for guidance/help.
No need to open 2 threads for the same issues. :good:
