Got the screen, can't find the screws. Nevermind - that was off-topic & sorry for bringing it up :angel:

But, I don't understand why you replied like that to mihahn's reply? he was just helping you and that's how you reply? If you already looked in eBay you could've just replied that you did look and it's not there. People here have no compulsion to help others but we voluntarily do because we love to help others and that's certainly not how you reply.

Man I think I know how to make posts, but if you ask "where do I get these damned black screws?" and there were some ppl who found them on ebay, I just let you know. Maybe you could just tell us in your first post what exactly you have and what you need, where you looked etc.
Thx @gouthamthemostwanted, that's what I thought :good:

Yes, you're probably right and I'm sorry. I didn't look back at what I posted before replying, I had all forgotten about me even mentioning the screws and was in an annoyed mood because too many people keep posting low-content, off-topic comments, cluttering the forum beyond usefulness. Seems it is beyond my abilities to change that, or I might even have a totally wrong perception of this. I'm back to lurking in the dark silently.

No of course it's great to see you in the forums, maybe we've just misunderstood something
Sorry, but if you (we) can't find them on ebay, I don't know where to get them. Usually most people don't need these screws...
//I know posting should be English, but just that I understand it right:
//Also es fehlen nur die schwarzen Schrauben für innen? Und mehr nicht? (So only the black screws are missing? Nothing else?)
//Sind die verloren gegangen oder wozu? (Have you lost them or why do you need them?)

You don't have to lurke in the dark. Just be polite and it's good to see you apologize for your mistakes (trust me, not many people do that) You are always encouraged to ask doubts and post useful information! :thumbup:

Never buy only a replacement digitizer, it's very difficult (nearly impossible) to separate without breaking LCD: https://www.google.de/search?q=separate+lcd+digitizer
Better buy a complete lcd + touch digitizer "assembly", they have become quite cheap (starting from 15$/€):
www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?Search...e=15&maxPrice=30&SortType=price_asc&isRtl=yes

Pretty cool to have that
Thanks !

thks my friend, i will buy one of these.
but i'm little curious. Apparently the display is ok, just the touch doesn't work. I've noticed that the screen is "transpiring" too much moisture and some screws and springs were rusting. Has anyone tried to find out why the touch fails along the time? its maybe a CI problem or umidity

Well humidity becomes a problem especially when the device temperature is much lower than room temperature (like when coming in from winter/snow ) because the air surrounding the device surfaces cools down and water condenses, even on the inside.. it happens with watches, too..
Or you (or someone close to you) might have dropped it into liquid (toilet?) when you were very drunk
in that case, take out battery IMMEDIATELY, dry clean with a cloth, carefully shake out remaining fluid, then put f.e. into a bowl of dry rice and wait at least 24 hours before trying to power it up..

First of all, thanks for uploading these gems! :good:
This thread is a bit old already but I just unearthed my old SK17i while I was rummaging through my stuff. It got stashed away when it suddenly shutdown while it was charging. Checking, its battery terminals were shorted. Something gave way.
Perhaps you have a parts placement file lurking somewhere? I've tried our friend Google but she came empty-handed.

uhhm sorry, only the ones I uploaded.. Maybe just take it to your nearest repair cafe for help?
I have still like three or four sk17s here with various states of brokenness (screen, plugs, buttons, speaker...)
It was a really usable device, only the android java app sh1t overhead slugged it to death..
with some luck, a wayland phone distro will be usable on it someday :cyclops:

Conclusion = My camera is dead.. HELP PLS!!

Dear fellow xda-devs,
After some discussion with mikechannon in our diagnosis thread, we came to a conclusion that my Hermes camera is actually broken. I can't live without it on my phone as I'm a guy who loves spontaneous photography. I can shoot on practically anything, anytime. A standalone camera is too expensive for me. I'm just a student and my Hermes practically used up my savings.
So here I am, appealing to all Hermes users who have a bricked/faulty/extra/spare/not-in-use to donate/spare/sell me their Hermes camera at a bargain.
Thanks in advance.
P.S - I live in Malaysia

Hi
As it happens I have one I could donate, BUT the postage costs might be expensive from UK to Malaysia.
Perhaps wait to see if someone closer has one for you.

hey there.
nah, ive checked lelong. every other day i'll browse lelong n ebay to kill time. thanks for your response.
hey hey,
yeah i saw that post too. there are tons of faulty devices out the that i can make use of, but money has always been the culprit stopping me from doing so..
lol
btw mike, i was wondering how much will the shipping be from Uk to Malaysia for small packets? Cause last week, i bought a pair of stylus and the shipping is only a couple of pounds. I was thinking that if you were to donate, i think it is only fair that i cover your shipping cost

haha.....everyone gets so butt hurt here. I hope this thread gets deleted
If it actually still has the scondary film covering over it then use a wooden or soft plastic tooth pick to slide up under the screen protector and simply remove it. I would wait until you have a replacement before doing this. I've been a PDA user for years and I learned the hard way early on that the first thing you should do is put on the screen protector or you end up with a scratched screen.

Being "productive" is a relative point of view. Many of us consider you starting a new thread with a double post as non-productive.
I am not being a forum cop. I have just as much right to my posts as you do and the community polices itself. Maybe you also missed that in the forum rules. But we can let the mods decide once they see this.
My opinion is that your initial question is a little ridiculous. Is original protector removable? Really?????
If you are referring to the flimsy protective film that ships on the device? It is removable. Otherwise you would need to try and look through the message that is pre-printed on it.
If you mean the protector that is shipped in the box, well that is also removable if you have attached it.
If you mean ANY screen cover, then the answer is still yes. They are all removable.
I hope that is a productive answer for you and you will drop this silly question.

Thanks for your help but, I don't know if there is any "secondary film" on the screen. Of course I'm not talking about any film with writing on it. My question is, Is there a protector installed on the screen that shoud removed before installing the extra spare that is included in the box? I don't want to start digging around without even knowing if there is a removable screen protector there. I guess what I need to do is call HTC and get the answer. Thanks anyway.
Oh yeah, for the forum cops, I started this second post because I wasn't getting any response from the first.

Ever think that you didn't get any answer because the question was so silly?
If you ask the question 100 times does that make it a better question? I don't see any fine print in the forum rules that states if you don't get a reply you should pepper the board with the question until someone answers you. I guess you have become accustomed to getting an immediate answer to any question you have. It must be nice.
Thanks for the award. It just reaffirms my belief in your intelligence and maturity. Have a nice day.
For the record, there is no secondary, tertiary, or other film on the device. Just slap your screen protector on there like all of us do. It really is not a big deal.

[Q]Screen

so yeah I was dreading the day this would come...my brother drooped the phone and the digitizer broke, luckly, everything works fine with the phone even the touch screen, i just need to replace the crumbling glass..
So I ask you fellow XDAers
where and how do i get these screens for the best price, PLUS a good guide on how to take the phone apart and then BACK together
thank you guys very much!
Cheers!

Yeah I saw the tear down before, however i feel like there are 2 many steps to just remove the screen...youtube vids show less steps its all very confusing..
ALSO putting it all back together is my main issue tbh..
hmm yeah sorry i cant find the link either but i know i had seen ti here before. anyways i found another one for you.
http://www.repairlaunch.com/repair/atrix-4g/
good luck. seems like alot of work.
Should be an easy fix since the screen isn't hot-glued or anything.
Gold luck.
Thank you guys!
Awesome to know that there are people that care

USSD Fix

Hi All
Is it possible for any DEV to fix the USSD Problem in Photon.
I have looked into many threads and nothing helped.
Seems like there is some patch which needs to be applied
hunderteins said:
TL;DR: It works for me. Try it. If it works, good for you.
I patched libril-qc-1.so in a way, that it sends a fixed length of 32 bytes instead of 4. (position 0xa8fc2).
Good luck,

Omg. Are you kidding? I know about this fix at least one month. And try to hex edit our ril, even if I don't know where to search, even when I don't need ussd, searched in the framework too and probably this fix is not our problem.
I lost few hours with searching for this problem.

While it is annoying, there are probably 100 good users to every bad one. So all hope is not lost. All we really need is moderators that actually frequent these forums to enforce the rules. It's not the userbases responsibility to report things and hope the mods do something. It's the mods responsibility to do the job they were given.
You know this **** is getting out of hand when important devs can't stand to be here anymore. Sorry Loki :/

Multiple pre-failures on primary (SMART monitor lit up like a christmas tree), must save data, grab backup (I have pets) hard impact with hardwood floor, grab second backup and in my haste plug directly into wall and (cue power surge) smoke not figuratively but literally. Three hard drives in about five minutes.
The only time I've ever seen multiple drives go at once was a voltage controller for the pci slots short and take out a RAID5 array in one stroke.
Well anyways, I will eventually get up and running but at this time it's really not a priority. Thanks to those that have donated and supported photon development and my work.

Bottom part is moving? :O

hi Guys,
i just got my Xperia S on Friday and today i noticed a "strange" thing: the bottom part of the phone right under the transcluent ribbon is moving back and forth a bit. is that normal? i'm a bit afraid it'll break.
thanks,

heck, i wanted to post this in Q&A... can some mod please move it? thanks a lot!

so not worthy to bring it back and get the phone replaced (in my country they have to replace it if i bring it back within 3 working days), cuz i most likely end up in the same situation? i also have this cracky plastic noise... oh, i love this phone otherwise, especially after my x10 one more minor problem is that the BL is not unlockable, that was disappointing, too, but hey, i can live with it for now until i get ICS
thanks for the answers everyone!
I don't know... i should just try to swap it, I don't have the problem with my XS
