Fingerprint sensor durability - Honor 6X Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I've just purchased a 6x to replace my broken LG G3 and i'm loving it!
However, moving from the G3 with the lock button on the rear, I keep pressing the 6x fingerprint scanner as if it's a button, before realising it isn't. Must be muscle memory!
Could this damage or break the sensor? Or is it pretty durable?
Thanks

I don't think it will break it. But just don't drop it. I dropped my 6x once and fingerprint was deaddd... Completely disappeared from settings. Had to send my phone for repair. Of course warranty covered and replaced the whole back panel. Idk if it is just me but I don't find its build quality very promising..

Well actually I gave my phone to retailer with warranty card and he then sent it to repairs. Got it back after a week.
About case, I was using the one that come within the box.

At least it was repaired quickly! Was it a big drop or not? I've dropped mine about a foot onto a desk, but there's no noticeable damage so far.

Fingerprint connection came out when you dropped the phone. I've seen a disassembled honor 6x and I feel thats pretty much why it happened.

Fingerprint module disassembly

Hey guys!
Unfortunately, my Honor 8 battery cover broke a few weeks ago. Now I've received my replacement part.
There are a lot of dissassebly-guides around, but none of them shows how to remove this module from the battery cover.
Can anybody tell me how the fingerprint sensor is connected to the battery cover?
According to this picture it seems that it is fixed just by adhesive:
http://www.myfixguide.com/manual/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Huawei-Honor-8-Teardown-10.jpg
So I am not sure how easy it will be to get it out (and in again).
Any guide or ideas on that? Maybe anyone of you already had to deal with it.
Thank you.

if u r not sure , dont do it ur self , u might brick something . give to pro of service center .
Thank you for your answers.
Well, I understand your advices, but this is not the first device I repair. I have experience in fixing broken displays, ect.
Anyhow, before I start, I always want to get an insight of what to expect. For honor 8 it seems quite easy to remote or change the battery cover, the only uncertain factor is how to swap the fingerprint sensor, because I've never dealed with something like that before.
So I appreciate any information on getting the fingerprint module from one battery cover to the other. If there are high chances to brick it while removing, I would buy a replacement module beforehand just to be save.
Thanks.

"No Service" after water damage

My Z5 got water damaged from fresh water pool. Everything was still working except that it didn't charge anymore.
I've tried a warranty claim but unfortunately, my phone has UB and it's rooted. The service center voided my warranty because the technician detected the unofficial firmware. When I pulled out my unit, it was already turned on. The tech noted corroded mobo from the results. I'm not sure if he opened up my phone but I was happy because everything was working again.
When I came home, I tried to insert my sim card which works with my spare phones. It says "No Service". I also can't see the sim number from the default "Myself" contact list in Phonebook. I tried manual and automatic search for network operators to no avail.
Do you guys think this is a hardware issue already? If yes, then I got a z5 phone which can't even handle the most basic purpose of one.

how this happened? this phone should be water resistant upto 1 meter for 30 minutes
Bro, is your Z5 a brand-new or a second-hand?

It wasn't even a meter and less than 30 minutes of dip. I even clean it with drinking water after every splash. I suspect that the chemical seal on backglass may have been loose over time as this unit have been with me for almost a year already.

Warranty already expired :/. The price they're asking is too much. I'd rather buy a new phone than pay the warranty service contractor of Sony in our area.
I don't trust the water tightness of Sony phones anymore..

Philippines.
Although I reported a water damage (physical damage), they voided my last remaining warranty due to unofficial firmware (I have UB/root). It's not like I had the chance to revert to stock after the phone had been water damaged..
The network signal was still good before I handed my phone to the service center. I'm not sure if the moisture inside damaged the chip responsible for the signal or it was the technician's fault assuming he opened up my phone or whatever.
They should've done pressure test FIRST and dried up what's inside if ever it's the chemical glue that's faulty over time. But what they did was to check the firmware first! I heard pressure test wasn't done because of the unofficial firmware. That's just so stupid of Sony.
The service center contractor is Telecom Concepts Inc. or TCI-Sony Philippines. I’m very disappointed. I've been using their products since the good old Sony Ericsson days. Now, I'm thinking of switching to those with better and competent after-sales support. Maybe it's time to go the Apple way.

Oh. I sympathize with you. Apple is a pretty good one, if you can live without root, xposed and mods, since iOS 10.3 is really difficult to jailbreak.
Found this in another post.
"I'll try answer it.
the custom rom trigger sony's security system and lock the phone. you need to flash the security system partition to fix it. the stock rom tft bundle doesn't have the image file needed to flash the security partition. thus, reflash a stock rom won't fix it. sony's security system is also very secure and at this time no one is able to hack it."
I suspect this is what happened to my phone! Apparently Sony DID this! I can't believe they rendered my device useless. I could've continued drying the device myself using rice or silica. This is totally unacceptable.
Update: Here's the post.
Update2: This can also be hardware issue just like this post.
I have ordered replacement signal cable and back cover glue in Aliexpress already. I hope it's just a faulty/corroded cable as I'll try to repair it myself. :/

Mine got water damaged just by washing the screen under the tap . water got in and "no service", no front camera, blurred back camera , random reboot and no sd card problems appeared but i was lucky because it was summer and outside were 40c so the phone recovered in about a week but the sd card slot is gone forever...it can't detect any sd card so be careful with this sony devices because you can have big surprises.
I have dipped my phone on clorine water 3 times and it's water thight, just mic didn't work while it dries,
You need to verify if it's water tight by checking f the pressure sensor is changing when you press the screen ,that can maybe fin a little leak of the waterseal

Dust inside the camera lense

After only 2 months using the OnePlus 6 as a daily driver, dust came inside the camera lense. You can clearly see those particles and I tried wiping it off with a wet cloth but it remain there, so I'm definetly sure it's inside. How could this happen? I always used my op6 careful it never dropped.
I also saw another user in the op forums, he's having the same issue. (https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/dust.867476/)
Anyone else? I will post some pics later.
Is your phpne A6000 or A6003? A6003 is known to have particle issue.

From what i read in this forum, A6000 is assembled in China while A6003 is assembled in India. The assembly done in India for these batch of phones were facing particle issues. Correct me if I am wrong.

It's the other way round I think.
For those who wonder: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SaUAVLTUDLW4U--BLdUd-IR8w9tttfrC/view?usp=drivesdk (it's the top camera lense)
I contacted OnePlus Support about this issue, and they will replace my device. It's quiet a shame that the Op6 is sich dust-prone.
hello, I also have this same issue after 15days of use ! oO
I never had this before with my OP1, 2 , 3 and 5T .....
It's the A6003
I buy the phone from a friend, in sealed box ....
I sent the issue to OnePlus, I hope he can make something
I already opened my old phones, but affraid to open this because of the back has glue to maintain them

yes it's a lot ......
but, by "chance" the upper camera is only the correction camera, I don't notice too many problems with pictures (for now) but I hope he will change this, the way I buy this phone was not important .... it's a construction error ....
imagine with water .... it's suposed to be waterproof .... but dust can go inside ...
Same issue on my main camera
Since 2 months i used this phone and i just noticed it last week. I dont know where to claim this issue as i bought imported set and warranty is not covered locally. ?

Yes, I've got it as well after 2 months. It's causing a black spot in my photos and OP won't repair it under warranty so I'm screwed.
So guys, I'm about to get a OP 6, can you guys confirm that the A6000 or the A6003 have this problem?

Both it seems, also it seems to be first batch of phones from what I've read so far. I'm on month 1 with my device, it came with 5.1.9 out the box, 0 dust yet. I don't use the slider above the power button, one theory was that dust get through from there.
Sucks not to nokt being able to use it tho, I was starting to like it... But since OnePlus don't think this is falling under warranty for some it just makes me not want to risk it.. P. S I always have a case on.

Just change from original case from the box to dbrand bumper case. Lets see either that dust will get through or not. As this bumper case cover every edge include that slider.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Moisture Build Up

Hi. I have a Xiaomi Note 7 Pro for 4 months now . Woke up and the screen would not come on. It was freezing slightly the other day so i plugged in the charger to see if it needed a boost. Nothing. No notification light or anything. I keep my phone in a plastic/silicone phone case that i bought when purchasing the phone. I took the phone out of the case thinking maybe the port is being blocked by the case and tried charging it again and still nothing. Then i unplugged the charger and recognized that the plug was wet. Took out my sim tray and they are wet too. Now i never dropped my phone in any water at all. What could have caused this? Must I avoid phone cases? The phone will not turn on but when i try to turn it on it heats up. The first time i tried turning it on it vibrated a little then never again. Can someone please tell me what may have happened? That's US $300 gone down the drain. I literally cried cuz it was a huge sacrifice to buy that phone and I really loved it. I am located in Kingston, Jamaica. Help!!!

Nope. I am a very careful woman when it comes to my phones. I normally change phones when the Android gets old and certain apps can no longer work with it. That is how long phones last for me. I do not know how to swim and i do not keep phones in my pocket...i am against that idea all to complete. I am doing some reading and someone mentioned on another forum that TPU cases can cause heat build up and hence moisture will develop. Would that amount of moisture be enough to damage the phone? Because the case i had is indeed TPU. My environment is not very hot either. Nor too wet. Also I am left to wonder if I should avoid cases altogether...but i need to protect my phone. Mind you, i am not the clumsy type...but just very careful.
For that, first put it on Rice during 3 days or a week.
Then, try again to switch it on.

If it was in the rain then i would understand but it was never in the rain nor near a window for any rain to get to it. I doubt it can be saved again. Its been 2 days now and still nothing. It is not even heating up. Its completely gone. And to make matters worse, I cannot even make use of the warranty because it will cost me 1/2 the money spent to buy it to send it to Xiaomi for them to look at it or even try to repair it. Also, there is no Xiaomi distributor in Jamaica hence I cannot even try to have it repaired. Its a complete loss. Guess I will have to avoid these brands in the future since if there is an issue with the phone there will be little to no chances of it being repaired. Yes, i would have tried to repair it since i actually enjoyed the phone.

So its been a week now and i tried it again. The notification light finally comes on and was able to give it charge. Then I tried turning it on. It vibrated. And then notifications keep coming in. But.......no display. So it is working again but the display is gone. Is it worth trying to fix that? Often times I hear that repairing the display of a phone is almost the cost of a new phone. So im indecisive on this one. I bought a Samsung Galaxy S10+ as replacement. My only issue is that the camera for the Redmi is better but oh well...

If the only thing that's damaged is the display, you can get a cheap local replacement, it won't really matter( They usually replace the glass, the touchscreen is below that, but this phone's got Gorilla Glass 5, dunno how it would affect that). But if the water has affected a major component, booting the phone might have shorted it or damaged it further.

Ok. Well I hope nothing else is wrong with it. Also, it turns out there are repair folks here in Jamaica who repairs Xiaomi. I had no idea Jamaicans bought Xiaomi phones! Found out the cost to install the glass and its cheap to my surprise! Its my first so...you know.... Anyhow, now I need to force turn the phone off cuz all alarms keep going off at their time of day as well as notifications from the many apps I have keep coming in. Its getting annoying man. Its gonna take a while for the battery to die cuz trust me, it really does last long which is why I love this phone.
Anyway, many thanks for the help guys! Its greatly appreciated!

Poco X3 fingerprint sensor replace

Hello XDA community, anyone knows if fingerprint sensor can be replaced?

I would contact Poco or Xiaomi via their website for this. I'm sure it'll be under warranty if you didn't intentionally break it, considering how new the phone is.

Yep, this is the way to go. Use your warranty, by the look of things I'd say there might be a short circuit somewhere inside.
Return the phone to the place where you have purchased it. Instead of getting the single component replaced, just file for a replacement.
Unfortunately I am in the same situation, fingerprint stopped working after a fall and I had to open the phone and unplug the flex cable (goodbye warranty), impossible to find a replacement part as for now, I looked everywhere

Look at the attacched picture, don't mind the red circle, focus on the green one, that's the flex for fingerprint, to access it you have to:
1) remove plastic back cover
2) remove motherboard and camera's cover
If in the future you want to replace the fingerprint sensor it's not hard, I removed it to check the flex cable integrity so I can tell it's easy
WARNING: the motherboard cover screws have seals so if you remove them warranty is gone!

Man, sorry to bother you again.
I was talking with my friend (who's gonna open the phone) and he was telling me that he thinks if he removed the GREEN cable the POWER BUTTON will not work, so I'll not be able to turn on screen. Is this true? This cable only disconnect the Fingerprint Sensor? If not, how can he be able to keep POWER BUTTON working and only "disconnect" the sensor (even if he needs to cut some wires on this cable)?
Thanks for any help!

The power button uses a different flex cable which is not shown in the picture, don't worry, removing the flex i mentioned will only disable fingerprint scanner, power button will still work as usual
I compared Redmi Note 9 Pro and X3 NFC, fingerprint sensor looks identical (connector, cable and button looks the same) Im going to order sensor from 9 Pro and install it on X3 NFC and will report back if it works. Hopefully it does...
Update: Since there is some code on fingerprint sensor cable, I run that code on Google and from search results I found that this sensor is actually used on both Note 9 Pro and X3 NFC

Update: Since there is some code on fingerprint sensor cable, I run that code on Google and from search results I found that this sensor is actually used on both Note 9 Pro and X3 NFC

Interesting, thanks for reporting!
Codes on the flex cable are not identical but are really similar, anyway i tried to order it too (ordered it 2 weeks ago on aliexpress), as soon as i receive it, i will report back.
F3626WL is written on both X3 and 9 Pro
RA1 xxxxxxx is different, that's probably serial number or something like that, so its probably dfferent on every cable. Report if it works if you get it earlier than me.

Bought from same seller, ordered blue button, I think it will look neater instead of black.
Well, dropped the phone in water, been in water for 15+ minutes. Had to disassemble it immediately and dry it out. While removing back housing, I damaged the cable...Should've been more careful...
Everything major was completely dry lol, but water got inside screen backlight so there were bunch of marks on screen, luckily after drying it out, there are no marks...Even if this phone is just water resistant, it survived fine in bucket of water for 15 minutes.
Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences, I'm still stuck with the fingerprint broken, and I'll wait @marko.dnb and @fonz93 to reply, so I can buy the Redmi Note 9 Pro sensor.
There's a similar experience from another Brazilian which did that replacement with Redmi Note 9 sensor (in this item: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001506489551.html in comments section)
