Hi,
I bought a google pixel 3a (xl) for my wife . With a cover case. But I'm a little disappointed : opening the case does not ligth up the screen. Closing it does not power it off ....... that worked on the cheap asus zenfone 2 she had before !
Did I miss something ? is there an option somewhere that I did not find ? Does anyone have a cover that works as I expected (or as with many LG and amsung phones) ?
Or is the functionnality simply not there on those phones ?

Hi xda-team and users...
recently i bought a real cheap i5800 on ebay. it works like a charme. there is only one problem (probably the reason of cheap selling):
there is some dirt under the display :-| i can live with it when i have to but when there is an opinion.
its there any way to open the cover and clean the display?
or can i get another cover (maybe the "dirt" is on the cover-side and not directly on the display)
someday i saw a replace cover for my old 5230. maybe there is one for the 5800 (tried google and ebay but i didnt found one).
another idea was to buy this:
xxxx://cgi.ebay.com/New-Samsung-I5800-Dummy-Display-Mobile-Phone-Toy-/200539469221?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eb11575a5
and try to open it and replace the original phone cover with the dummy parts. i know nothing about touchscreens (i am an electrician but in another sector) thats my problem.
maybe any1 here can help me with some information.
thx in advance.

Just for you to know: i open the case/cover and cleand the touchscreen. It was not that hard as i expected. If any1 need some help with opening i do it again and make some pics for a guide. Just msg me.

yes please, I disasembled 6 screws and REAR (step 4 at service manual) I am affraid of point 5-8 , there are NO steps how to replace front cover what I need :-( ...
- Updated :
After 5+ hours I successfully replaced back cover and front cover too - As service manual is totally GAY and useless for this, I had to experiment - LCD and touch screen does hold to front cover by glue :-( ... and at grey plast what cover LCD and what is the last visible part at GAY useless service manual - you have tu use little force to make it out and dont be affraid of damage it ... .
Hi!
I looking a new cover without magetic because it does not work this tablet. Any options?
Problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/help/nexus-9-cover-problem-t2978669
Will in the video the problem was very clear
when you use the case the screen lock itself after you have unlocked it
i think that this case was just badly made
and they put the magnet in the wrong place
so i think you should go for case that have batter reviews
like:

i hope this helps you
and if you order from amazon you can return it if it has some problems and order different type
I got this one:

Sleep and wake function is working perfectly.

Hello dear community, my dreadiest fear just realized today :
my X2 decided to make one with the concrete...
luckily, both with my heart, only the touchscreen shattered from this unholy union.
So now I want to replace only the broken thing (less expensive) with a replacement part I found on aliexpress (25 € for those wandering), BUT I was unable to find any clue about the separation of the LCD and the touchscreen :
Are they inextricably bound together as the galaxy S series are ?
Or are they just attached with some tape as any good reparable phone should be ?
I was also wandering whether the screen parts were the same between the X1 and the X2 !
If you have any material showing how to proceed with the separation, and care to share them, I'd be in your dept forever !!
Boujou bien !

The disassembly should be the same as the X1 video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NOG1SISbKw
Yes I have seen this video, but it is only showing the removing of the screen/touchscreen from the phone, not the separation of the LCD from the touchscreen (they are both broken in the video, hence no point to mess with them !)

They are fused together so it's not even worth trying to remove them. 99.99% of the time you won't be successful.
Good to know !
I almost succeeded once, with a heated bench, But I'm not willing to try that again…
Did you have to fix yours already ? Any clue about backward compatibility with the X1 assembly (20 % cheaper !) ?

I imagine they would be the same display assembly but I'm not 100 percent sure.
I Sat on my Huawei honor X2 -Screen is not working Properly
Hello (posted this in wrong area a few weeks ago)
I sat on my X2 GEM-703L under several pillows - bend was 1/2 inch - the top & bottom were 1/2 inch lower than center . I carefully bent it straight (there is a small kink in metal frame right side just above center button. Everything else seems to work beside the screen. *** I will push "4" and the key adjacent character is recognized, also it will type on its own or type 3-5 characters when I only pushed one...
Questions:. Does this sound like touch screen Replacement will fix these issues??? Or is thier additional interface hardware attached with the touch screen, or both?
- I really like that phone - hoping it is not a lost cause...
Thanks for your help
Gary

Hello Gary, sorry just saw your post.
I Think this might be fixed by a change of screen, but the problem might also come from the bent frame too.
For the tactile to work properly, and not register wrong input, the screen needs to be grounded and I think also calibrated to the phone caracteristics. If you just replace the screen, it's environment would not be the same as it is suppose to be anymore (frame with a kink) hence there is a risk that the new screen might reacts weirdly, registering ghost input etc... Because the screen might not rest flat on the support frame, and the contacts used for grounding might not be working anymore.
I have a spare screen that I*just bought for mine, unfortunately my problem seems to come from the motherboard, so the screen is useless for me.
If you want to give it a try, and live in the US, pm me !
If you don't want to do it (the screen comes without a frame, so you have to use your old one)
I'm willing to buy your phone to try to save mine ! :angel:
Best,
Quentin.
hi guys,
i'm from germany and i need help for buying a new (oder used) phone.
atm i have an Oneplus X because of the size (i have tiny hands and i want to use the phone with one hand), the display (i love the amoled because of the sharpness) and the camera.
what i miss actual: a physical home button. why: because i use the phone as a sat nav (with osmand+ app) on my motorcylce. i have an water resist phone holder like that (https://www.amazon.de/LKB29LW-WASSE...8-13&keywords=wasserdichte+handyhülle+fahrrad) and i cant use the side buttons because of the case. dtw dont work because of the foil in front of the display. have tried it soo often. when screen is dark i always have to open the case...
so what i need for the new season: phone around 4,8 to 5,2 inc with possibily to wake up in a case.
what sould it be able to: rooting, xposed and so on. good camera... the things i like on my oneplus.
i like the samsung s7... but: i think it is too expensive.
what else can i buy?
greetings from germany

Hello.
I wanted to change my phone lately , so at first I looked at the phone I loved last year , htc10 (because of the clean android , no bloatware and the all around decent-ness) , until I noticed Id have a hard time finding screen protectors , cases , etc for the phone in my country , and it doesnt have warranty in my country and finding a repairman is hard if needed. so buying the htc 10 would be risky in the long run (and short run if I drop it or something)
then I saw the s7 edge on sale for a reasonable price (around $100 more expensive than the htc 10) so I considered that as well , but thats where I have my biggest question.
I have seen glass screen protectors for s7edge but all the comments said that it affected the touchscreen making it less sensitive to touch and all that . are the glass screen protectors for s7edge really that bad or are they the same as other phones' ?
(and by the way , weird as it may sound , s7edge is cheaper than normal s7 in my country , so I wouldnt want s7 , and I dont like touchwiz , so not a fan of samsung , but the s7edge price is nice when compared to my other choices)
then I saw the LG g6 , which I really like , but the software doesnt look good either (i've heard its similar to touchwiz about bloatware , and I dont like how it looks) and the previous flagships have had issues such as bootloops and broken camera lenses , which makes me worry about buying it.
i was also wondering if LG had any form of themes app similar to htc/samsung which could change the entire look of the phone ?
any recommendations which one to buy?
thanks in advance
