[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wingod513:
My Note got this error msg a few times already from restarting, what is it about? How to fix it? thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] seeking:
it doesnt look like an error so much as just a toast notification letting you boot up completed...the font doesnt look stock either...did you change anything on the phone? boot screen or anything like that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wingod513:
It's all stock without rooting. The font is stock, can change it under display settings, only Note has it I think.

This error msg stay up forever, unless I unplug my battery or turn my device off. Sometimes, my device will auto restart itself too :(

I wonder if this is hardware problem or software problem.
[Defy General] Jwsail:
Hi folks,

I have managed to break the display on my Defy . Can anybody suggest UK based repair centres that may be able to help ?

Thanks

[Motorola Droid Bionic] chadbh74:
Ok, had a great Thanksgiving until I dropped my Bionic on concrete outside. I guess it landed on the top corner where the power button is, the glass is smashed there and partially missing with major cracks going downwards over half the screen. Miraculously, the LCD display itself is undamaged, only the outer glass. Also the digitizer is still functional. I researched the parts and found that the digitizer and outer glass are one piece on top of the LCD. I couldn't locate any teardown video showing how to take these things apart properly but I did find photos and a new digitizer/glass assembly on E-bay for only $35 bucks. I had sucessfully replaced one of these on a motorola Cliq and figured the Bionic should be easier since it lacks the sliding keyboard. I took a T5 driver and seperation tool and had it disassembeled in 5 minutes. I love how easy it is! I reassembled it until the new screen arrives, hopefully this week.

Since I couldn't find a video of the teardown (and assuming no one else has either) I would be willing to video the job when I replace the screen IF there is sufficient interest.

Ok, heres the video of the teardown and replacement I did. Enjoy!

[Motorola Droid Bionic] dB Zac:
I would love to see a tear down video. Also where are you getting the replacement parts?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chadbh74:
Check ebay for "Bionic digitizer"
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
+1 on the video. It would be very helpful.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chadbh74:
Ok, I will post a vid to YouTube when the digitizer arrives and post the link in this thread
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pasp10:
I cracked my bionic glass last weekend and just got my replacement screen.

I'm about ready to dig in to fix it, but in reading repair guides for other phones, it appears that the LCD could be glued to the glass. When you had yours open, did you see if the LCD is glued to the glass/digitizer assembly on the Bionic? I'm hesitant to open it up until I know since its still working with the cracks.

I paid $50 at Dealsishop and it came in 7 days.

Love to see your repair guide.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GoBears:
Here you guys go. The glass is not fused to the lcd fyi. Not a video but looks easy enough.

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Droid-Bionic-Teardown/6449/1
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pasp10:
Thanks - the iFixit teardown was very helpful.

I finished and it works!

My only question is that the glass was stuck to the frame with a thin double stick tape. I tried to re-use it, but there were multiple gasket type shapes that didn't keep their shapes. What do people use for this material?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chadbh74:
I tore down the phone once, everything but taking the glass out of the frame. The LCD was NOT stuck to the glass/digitizer. The only adhesive material I encountered was the large sticker with the IMEI numbers and such in the battery compartment. That thing actually causes the back piece and underlying piece to stick together. Felt like I was going to bend the pieces when I tried separating them because of that sticker, so I just removed the sticker first and was a lot easier.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chadbh74:
Well I only payed $35 for mine on E-Bay, they say it's OEM part and all, lets hope its the real deal. Also, atleast in the photo, it LOOKS like it includes the entire piece, the frame around the glass and all. Did you get something a little different? Could be the photo is misleading on the E-Bay item too...we will find out soon enough.

Never broke any screens but +1000 for helping community! Your services wont go unapeiciated.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pasp10:
My glass/digitizer looks the same as the one on ebay. It does not come with the frame around the glass (the part that says Verizon on the bottom). The glass is held in the frame only with double stick tape around the perimeter - works really well because it was tough to get off without damaging the frame. I'm thinking I may need to buy some of that tape and re-do it if it gets loose. Also, there were little gasket-like things around the openings that I couldn't re-use.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iflysiu:
questions...

So I am about to order the screen and begin the replacement process. Do you think there is enough stick left in the tape to hold the screen to the frame for now? With it put back together, does it force the screen to but up against the frame without the tape doing anything? What does the gasket go around? Did you have to use any of the tools listed in the tear down (besides the t5 screwdriver)

Thanks for the help...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pasp10:
The tape is holding for me so far, but I don't think it is right. It's not bulging or anything, but it seems loose in spots. There are holes for the speaker and camera. I'm guessing the gaskets are to keep dust/moisture out. I used the t5 and a couple of plastic tools to separate the parts. The other thing not mentioned in the teardown is that there is a large sticker just below the battery that keeps the back from coming out. I just pulled it back halfway and it releases. Then after everything is reassembled, the sticker can be put back like new.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sammyguyana:
it's funny,

because the SAME thing happened to me...i am looking fwd to your video/tips on the replacement.

I ordered the glass, and the repair kit online 60bucks total. (prices everywhere have gone up in past 24 -48 hours!)

weird.

The local shop says they can repair for 125 bucks. So hopefully i can do this.

KEEP US POSTED!!

Sam
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chadbh74:
Done!

Ok, the digitizer/glass arrived today and after a chill with some beers I decided to take a crack at the replacement job.. so please look over my clumsiness.

I experienced the same issues as PASP10 concerning the adhesive for the glass and the slight 'bulging' after the replacement. This is a result of the replacement not being bonded to the frame as well as the original. Everything else is perfect. I will probaly be looking for a kind of epoxy to line the frame with and re-do it later.

Right now, I'm working on converting the HD video of the rebuild I did and uploading to YouTube. Once finished, I will post the link in the 1st post of this thread. Thanks all!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chadbh74:
These are still $35 bucks on e-Bay.. Did you not check there?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] chadbh74:
Tear down videos have been posted in first message... loving my shiny new screen again :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sammyguyana:
thank you!

hey man, that video was great.

I just got my screen in the mail today. Looks good. I am still waiting for the screwdriver repair toolkit.

Can you do me a favor and send me the whole unedited video via pm or something? I could pm you my email addy, thank you!

Sam
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chadbh74:
Thanks man. I took it back apart later .because I didn't like the "looseness" of the new glass, it was missing the adhesive of the original. I put a small bead of some Plumbers Goop adhesive/sealant around the edge of the frame under the glass since I already had a tube and it seems very close consistency to the original stuff. It worked great :)

As far as the original video, it was several gigabytes of HD video lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sammyguyana:
DONE!!

So yesterday night, after a long day of putting cm7 alpha3 on a new touchpad for my wife, i felt like getting the cracked screen repaired on my bionic.

I ordered the glass off ebay, came in a nice bubble wrap, also enclosed in a plastic case.

I ordered a "cell phone repair kit" with a bunch of tools, for 3 bucks off buy.com, and that also arrived yesterday. I then found it didn't have a T5 screwdriver like the description said...so went to Home despot, and found a husky brand 8pc torx set for 5 bucks.

Sat down, and had 2 beers, like OP recommended.

Then followed the video to a T, and I have to say, Chad, you did a great job on the video. I couldn't have done it without the video.

The only things i would clarify, since i have NO tech knowledge, was:

1. remove the sticker under the battery. Not mentioned in the video. But im a dummy, so after 20 minutes of trying to figure why I couldn't pry it open, i saw you didn't have your sticker.

2. Use the guitar pick like tool to loosen the broken screen from the frame...it was so easy, and preserved a lot of the adhesive. I pushed the screen forward THROUGH the front of the frame, and at the top of the phone, near the camera side, wedged the guitar pick tool in between the broken glass and the frame, and then just slid it along all the the edges, and it peeled right out! No bending or anything.

3. I too used a regular household glue that i ran some drops along the edge with a toothpick, just along the two long edges. Worked great.

4. dont need scotch tape, the digitizer has little blue sticker backings you can remove and the copper digitizer wires will stick to the lcd back.

5. I ****ed my volume UP button up somehow, but it still works, just not as tactile. Oh well, otherwise, everything works GREAT.

Chad thanks again man. Without that vid, i'd be without a phone, for 2-3 days, and paying twice or more for the repair.

Sam
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chadbh74:
Nice job man! Yea the original video I made had me removing the sticker, but got lost in the edit..couldnt seem to get a long video onto YouTube and found a post saying the videos were limited to 10 minutes. Guess I should have tried leaving that in though.

It goes to show there doesn't have to be an "exact" approach to this, slightly different methods work fine...I guess it all boils down to which variety of beer you fall under the influence of.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iflysiu:
household glue?

Sam,

What exactly is household glue? I bought double sided tape for the repair, but am not happy with the way it is holding....

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chadbh74:
"Household Glue" just refers to a glue you may already have around the house, not a specific brand. I had a tube of "Plumbers Goop" sealant/adhesive on hand that was also about the same rubbery consistency when dried as the original, and it worked GREAT!

I had other glues on hand but didn't try them and wouldn't recommend them for this application...

1. SuperGlue -NO! To brittle and would most likely be too difficult to separate the frame in the future if needed, thereby making damage more likely.

2. Gorilla Glue- NO! Expands too much as it dries and would most likely make a mess. Also, bonds too well and might be too difficult to separate.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sammyguyana:
correct...

i used some old tube of glue i found in my garage, that was kind of like rubber cement when it dried, rubbery. i can't remember the name, (im at work), but it wasn't anything like super glue. I think it might have said "craft glue" but not sure... so much crap was in the garage, and i had a couple already to to get started, like Chad suggested.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] n2deep3d:
A few tips that may help:

1. once you free the housing with the digitizer use a heat gun or blow dryer on low and heat up the edges in a circular pattern. Then use your pick or pry tool and it will come off alot easier.

2. You can buy 2 sided 3m adhesive on ebay or amazon to cut and replace any that came off when removing your digitizer.

3. If using two sided instead of glue, be sure and put it on and then heat it once more and let it cool and ahere. it will make for a stronger hold over time.

4. Be careful when using glue or epoxy to hold down the screen. Remember you just had to remove and replace yours for a reason, so think about if you have to do it again, and how much pain that glue will be.

All in all take your time, no need to hurry and damage something else while fixing the screen.

People seem to keep forgetting that ICS is getting ported to all these 3G phones. It hasn't been ported to ANY 4G device that I know of.
[Verizon Droid Charge] squid267:
We still need the RIL, thats what is holding us back from everything haha. CM7, CM9, ICS. We need that ril before we can move on.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Exactly and people keep forgetting that these "3G only" phones don't this RIL issue so of course it's going to be easier to get these ported over.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Work has already been started for the Rezound, so that seems like a good sign.

Plus, once the Galaxy Nexus releases on Verizon, wouldn't the source for that help us in any way?
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Source is already out. I just think we don't have enough people that care about this phone enough to port it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Source is the same for both HSPA+ and LTE versions?
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
No idea. Honestly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
well I don't know the internal workings of android too well but afaik the RIL code is not included in the source the OEMs post and they are not obligated to release it so it has to be leaked or hacked up to work

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
True. However google DOES include RIL w/ the source code. SO hopefully when the LTE source code is released, it can be tweaked to work for the charge.

Not sayin' it will, just that its not all gloom and doom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ace5198:

[Verizon Droid Charge] diablospeed:

Regardless,I just n flashed it on my buddies nexus and 4g does not work... Couldn't we get

something similar with no 4g... Cause, its, freaking awesome,
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
Our best shot is the VZW Galaxy Nexus source. Since its a Samsung made phone, it's possible the RIL is similar to the Charge.

I know you all hate to hear this, but it's coming December 8...only a week and a half and hopefully we will be further along with the RIL. Patience, Daniel-San, patience...

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

The devs shouldn't be focusing, in my opinion, on this until we have the RIL. Why did anyone buy this phone if they didn't want 4G more than anything else?? Features are nothing without function.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
what you guys keep forgetting is that it doesn't matter if another LTE phone gets a port until it's one with the same chipset as our phone. No one has done the RIL for our chipset.
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
+1

[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Not true. I doubt the D3 has the same chipset as any of the other ports.

Maybe now that the official AOSP ICS build for the Fascinate, maybe this will help with development for us. The port that is out for the Captivate was made from SDK but this build for the Fascinate is pure AOSP and almost everything works on it. Even the radio.

JT has a Charge. He still has the one he got from Kejar31. But since he is not working right now, he can't pay for the service to have the phone active so he can test any work he is doing. He is working with imnuts on ICS for the Charge. At least that's the last I read.

[Verizon Droid Charge] skynet11:
That's not entirely true - you can basically test everything but in-call audio, 3G, LTE, and the radio itself (though you can still test wifi with different modems). Everything else, including bluetooth, video playback, camera, gapps, framework, touchscreen, sync, mms (via wifi), and fc's can be tested. I have a Captivate with no service and am currently testing Team Hacksung's ICS build 6 on it.
