Repairing a G5 with GPS issue - Can I replace parts? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

I've tried countless times to fix my G5 and once even had it register all the satellites properly, until I clicked the case closed resulting in losing them all again. It fair to say nothing will fix it now.
I'm curious about buying one off of ebay for parts, since the rest of the phone works fine. Do you think I could have some luck with this approach? What are your suggestions for swapping hardware?

I have the same issue. Tried the fixes I saw online, i.e. sticking copper strips in various contact areas. One fix I tried (copper strip on top of mesh next to headphone jack) gave me 36 satellites in view after previously having none but it's all a bit unreliable so I have just bought a brand new back cover for 20 Euros. Should be here in UK in 5 days. We'll see if that fixes it.

Brand new rear case fitted...........................no difference. No satellites in view, no lock ?

HTC Titan proximity sensor not working

Had this phone about 3 weeks now and all of a sudden whenever I make a phone call the screen just goes black until I take the battery out or the other person hangs up. Is there a way to tweak the proximity sensor settings like on the omnia 7 etc?
I'm having the exact same issue. I've only had my Titan for about four days now.
I just firmly pressed on the front and back of the device as if to correctly place put the back case on. This works for a while and 'randomly' quits. I have yet to figure this one out.
I've not had this problem but you could try the other rom from here. I had the .02 but changed it to .06

Thanks! I'm gonna' try flashing this. HOPEFULLY, it will work.
I'll post back with my result.
Nothing! Tried the ROM update but no luck. Still having the same problem.
Dam thats a shame, could be a hardware issue
same issue on mine. Had it 2 weeks and it just started going black when calls come in or go out. I have a replacement on the way, I hope its an isolated issue...
Same here. Had mine for 2 months and now I have this issue.
Any ideas on how to solve this yet?
same here...
any hints if its a hardware issue or a software issue
mine also worked a wile and then stopped working...
You may already have tried or been aware of this so forgive my two penneth worth, When I had my HD2 It was the screen protector that tripped out the light sensor and kept the screen dark etc, May be worth a try if you have one fitted as it did the trick.
HTC Titan Prox Sensor
I do hardware repairs on phones, and currently having this issue with an HTC Titan. It seems very likely to be a hardware issue. The back cover feels loose and sloppy in my opinion, yet seems to play a role in properly grounding some of the auxiliary sensors. I'm considering trying to order the part, but it seems to be impossible to find except from a used phone. The proximity sensor is on a small chipboard that snaps directly into a connector on the motherboard. The solution of pressing the screen and back housing together makes sense if that proximity sensor isn't making a good connection to the board (or if it isn't grounding properly).
In my experience, I'd say this phone is a pain in the butt to diagnose and repair.
Exact same problem! Was thinking about doing a hard reset, but it seems like that won't fix it. I bought my Titan used, and maybe that's why it was on eBay. Phone works perfectly otherwise, absolutely love it. They sell new covers on Amazon, maybe that will fix it, by applying more pressure on the proximity sensor. Wish there was a simple fix.
I have this issue as well. I have found out that when you press the upper right corner of the screen the display comes back on but as soon as you let go it goes black again.
Also if you slightly open the back cover from the bottom the display comes back on as well but you lose signal because the antenna is disconnected. When you close the back cover the display goes black again.
It happens with outgoing and incoming calls.
This is really annoying and if I would very much like to know if it's a hardware or software issue.
---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------
Update:
I think I've found a solution.
I believe the the proximity sensor is in the narrow gap above the screen.
I opened the back cover and I slightly scratched the two contacts on the top of the back cover with my fingernail.
My Titan somehow is now working again and when I move my finger close to the narrow gap the display goes black.
I therefore think it's just a matter of a dodgy contact between the proximity sensor and the back cover.
I think I'll order a new back cover fom eBay to see if this improves things. My back cover is damaged anyway.
Possible Solution
i hope this is the solution cuz im tired of messing with this phone (we lost money trying to repair this phone, ie. negative profit, cuz the lcd and digitizer are fused together and it took forever for the parts to be available online). BIG Thanks to everyone who contributed to this forum thread.
The problem is almost certainly hardware and related to the back cover. good news means that it should cost nothing to fix. *warning* as always, you could break your phone if you arent careful. I havent tested this solution but i will tomorrow. On the motherboard are "metal brushes". That means springy metal contacts that are meant to make contacts between parts that arent closely touching. look at the back cover and find those contact plates, then look on the board for the corresponding brushes. gently pull those brushes up away from the motherboard to make them extend further, and see if you can get the back cover to fit more snugly on the phone. be careful with those brushes, metal can only be bent so far before breaking and then youll have to do board-level soldering (pain in the butt, not easy). if you can ensure proper contact between the back cover and the motherboard, then you shouldnt have any more issues with the proximity sensor.
this is my educated guess, let me know if you have any luck.
PS! been using iphone 4 for like a month, and the more i use it the more i hate it. i typed this up with iphone 4. so much hardware power with so little control. id recommend iphone to anyone who doesnt like technology. iOS is a POS
Called HTC and I'm still under warranty. I'm going to be sending in the phone for repairs tomorrow for this problem, we'll see what happens. They said it'd take 14 days to get my phone back.

Hi Flavio, have you bought a new cover? Has it fixed your problem?
Have the same problem with the sensor, i´ve tried other roms to, but still the same problem. i dont think, that this problem is a hardware issue of the proximity sensor, becaue sometimes it works sometimes note... very curious...
I just got a new Titan with the same problem. I took the phone to HTC repair center and the repair status on their website shows is that its been fixed, meaning I should get it back early next week. I will report here about the description what they did to it.
And this is clearly a HW issue. Taking off the back cover seems to affect little, but not 100% remove the problem.
Had this issue. When I sent it off to HTC they replaced the screen together with the dusty FFC issue
I had a similar problem that was fixed by turning of "Automatically adjust" in the brightness setting.

Battery replacement for the P900

Can anyone suggest where to find good batteries?
I'm getting a used Note Pro and I don't know if the battery performance will still be decent. I'm buying a 30000mAh power bank along with it but I would love to know where I can find good batteries in case I want to replace them myself. I can do the replacement (skills and tools present) but I need to find a good battery first

3rd party batteries are a hit and miss. They just don't have the quality control big companies have. It's pretty cheap so just give it a shot. Returns on Amazon are easy.

Thank you... I saw that earlier but the mixed reviews threw me off. I was hoping someone here has had a positive experience with a particular brand.

Using that one now...
Been using that particular one for about 6 months now without problems, but quality varies on these generic brands. If you are going to be replacing the battery, make sure you clean and treat the terminals with Deoxit Red, then coat with Deoxit Gold http://a.co/dRU123V - that stuff is pricey, but worth every penny you spend. You will never have connection issues again. I use that every time I put something back together.
Also look around the site for instructions on how to re-solder the battery connectors - some users have had issues like flickering brightness because of marginal connectors. Hardest part is getting the back off (and it isn't hard) - just take your time and you won't have any problems.

I can attest to the minimal level of difficulty in removing the back panel of the sm-p900.
Just slow and steady with something similar to a medium-hard + hard guitar pick (credit/gift card thickness vary...or some guitar picks lol) And as usual, there is always the $100 plastics kit....which I want no part of, but spend it if you got it.
I just wedged a guitar pick between the backing and the screen (feel/look for the seam, you'll find it) to get the opening started, then wedged a credit card in to keep it from snapping back shut, and moved steady around the perimeter (adding chopped old gift cards in parts to keep from snapping back together) until the front and back separated.
There may be a couple of connections that would need to be disconnected prior to pulling the back panel and face completely apart (I think, but again, it's been a while now so don't hold me to that), but either way, I'm sure you could pull the connection for the battery (the battery is in the middle, top side, near camera) without having to fully separate, but it's much easier when separated all the way (in my experience at least).
I've had to reconnect the battery before after the battery connection became a tad loose somehow, causing the battery itself to get very hot (and very dangerous I might add) Now that I think about it, didn't this happen with a very popular phone recently SAMSUNG?!? And part of the GALAXY line? Hmm. Odd.

The process was very easy. Make sure you get replacement double sided tape to hold everything together. Also watch a few of the tear down videos so you know exactly what to take apart. I would also suggest getting the frame with the screen because it makes things easier.

The original lcd is better, this one have less brightness and sometimes i have to touch twice to open an app, but for the price is ok, i changed myself so i only spend 16€.
I replaced my display a few weeks ago. It is really simple. There are plenty of youtube videos that help you if you are insecure.
I bought a display from aliexpress (around 18$), it works as good as the OEM display.
The only issue I have now is that my computer doesn't recognize the phone via USB anymore.. but I'm not sure if it's because of the screen replacement.

Hi,
@Kaadyep
Mine was broken as well. I ordered one on Aliexpress. Seller is Trafalgar (can't post link, rating is 4.9 at the moment, at 100 orders) and cost around 30-38 USD inclusive tools.
Fits perfect and work without issues and no bleeding. The included tools are ok, just the Torx is not fitting. Open the phone is easy but the display is glued. Since the display was broken anyway, i just used one of the included plastic clips and push it under the edge of the broken display, go one round and then you can remove it. The phone still need to be fully disassembled since the flat cable is under the motherboard and battery pack. After that I used very thin double sided tape on the edges to glue the new one in. That is 2 weeks ago and no issues.
Hope that helps.

It could be that the FHD only denotes the 1080 part then the other would be dependend on the aspect ratio. You could say that a panel is FHD but the ratio might be 21:9 (ultrawide), 18:9 (for smartphones), 16:9 (regular), etc.

Here We Go Again, Return Time!!

Just received 2 hours ago, the first game I tried (Hill Climb Racing 2) and noticed I couldn't press the brake, like the screen had a dead spot. Sure enough I download Muti Touch Test and the display is missing many touches, but it's inconstant. Factory reset hoping for a fix but no dice. Thanks Google for sticking us with a LG display. BTW, I haven't seen the 3 XL but I can tell you for sure it does not look as good as a Sammy panel, my wife's XS looks way better. I would say it looks more like my V35, not bad at all, just not spectacular. Pissed because I had to send back last years P2 because of issue and here I go again!

It's nonsense, he bought a G7 too. Or only? As for you definitely swap it if it bothers you. Too expensive to be obsessing over a flaw. Unless it gives it character which might increase the value!

I haven't seen the 3XL display but it's a Samsung panel and it did just get the highest ever score by Displaymate for what's that worth. I am assuming the XL looks as good as my wifes iPhone XS or my brothers Note9. I can tell you the P3 I have has a display that is not on that level, it's good don't get me wrong, just a half step off, more like my V30 that I fell the display is a solid 8+.
Update, I called Google back and got a rep that took the restocking fee off. Offered to exchange but I didn't like the options. Send mine in and then wait for a replacement to be shipped, could take 2 weeks or advance replacement, credit hold on my card and ship now. Feel it's better to wait for a possible BF deal and go with the XL>

This is actually incorrect - it's been proven that most of those 'scratches' can easily be brushed/wiped off.
I literally just watched a Tech Youtouber (Erica something or another) do this exact test, with her keys, and she gets rid of every single mark on the phone, despite scratch it with her keys.

Yeah, it looks like they phone isn't scratching, the softer objects are leaving behind residue on the phone's surface. Jerry Rig Everything briefly mentioned it in his video but never tried to clean off the marks.
Can someone with the P3 download and play Hill Climb Racing 2 and see if the brake pedal becomes inop during play? Really wondering if I have bad hardware of if it's a software issue. Thanks
