Test Lcd

Paul, I'm interested in purchasing Digitizer and Sticky Strip but am also considering LCD/Digitizer already assembled. Is there any way to test lcd screen once taken apart to ensure I haven't damaged it while taking apart.

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] repairsuniverse:
You can do a visual check if you are worried that you have physically damaged, however the easiest way would be to have it installed in the phone and power on. If it works as normal it is fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lebmb:
just got an amaze with a cracked screen, gona take the digitizer apart first before ordering any parts, but i'll post some pics. and i'll connect the lcd to test and make sure that i didn't damage it lol and for the one who wanted to test maybe that will help you

EDIT: Can't change just the digitizer, i did my vivid and sensation (as well as every htc phone i've had) but this one is different, it's done iphone 4 style, can't separate the glass from the lcd. gota get the assembly. i'll post pictures later

Screen / Digitizer

So you can't replace just the screen / digitizer?
[HTC Amaze 4G] repairsuniverse:
You can replace the LCD and the touch screen digitizer as one fused part or you can replace the LCD and the touch screen digitizer separately.

Power button connection?

The repair has gone well so far however i have run into a problem when putting it back together. the cable leading from the power button was just glued to the motherboard and i just peeled it off to remove the motherboard. Now how do i reattach this connector?
[HTC Amaze 4G] repairsuniverse:
Usually you will find it still has enough "Stick" to simply put back into place. If however it doesn't you will need adhesive strips. These can be found here - Adhesive Strips
[HTC Amaze 4G] edyts:
I just ordered parts from your site, including adhesive strips, i might be pestering you when they arrive if i run into any snags. Thanks for the write up though ,

Replaced Screen - Stuck in Boot Loop (I think)

So, I followed the instructions, was as careful as possible and didn't tear or break anything that I can see or feel. But when I try to turn the phone on, it just vibrates once like it does at normal start up.... then continue to vibrate once at about 15 second intervals and the screen remains black. The LED lights up when I plug it in to power, so that bit seems to be ok. Both pressing the power button and plugging into power starts the vibrating loop. If I attach it to computer, the device does not show up. Any tips or suggestions or where I might be running into an issue?

Edit: The phone software is stock - this is my first foray into doing anything besides popping the back cover off and taking the battery out. Just to double check, I took the new screen out and reassembled with the old one and get the same issue, so it's not the new screen that's defective. The old screen was working just find despite the many cracks from screen-planting on pavement.

[*]Once the screen assembly has been removed from the housing, you can now use a small flat head screwdriver or similar to carefully separate the LCD screen from the touch screen digitizer. Heat may be required.

[*]You can now replace either the touch screen digitizer or the LCD screen.

[/LIST]

Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.[/QUOTE]
[HTC Amaze 4G] repairsuniverse:
Hi,

It's hard to say exactly what is causing the issue without seeing the phone but it's sounds like everything hasn't been re-installed correctly. Check over the installation and make sure everything is fully connected.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Tenar13:
When plugging the three connectors back into the motherboard, how far in should they be? I tried to push them in as far as possible, but I was afraid of jamming something or tearing the tabs on the side. If I check and everything is fully connected, what could other possible issues be? Thanks very much for your time.
[HTC Amaze 4G] repairsuniverse:
No need to force the connection, just press in as far as it will go (with the jaw unlocked). The side tabs should be close to connector itself, but will not make contact. Once fitted, lock it in place with the jaw and try testing again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mindslap:
When I attempted to replace my digitizer, I snapped the cable between the power button and the motherboard. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement?

*Yes, I know I'm an idiot and a N00B...

hi guys, I am in the process of repairing my cousins Amaze.

he left it on the roof of his car and drive off, breaking the glass but

the LCD is still good. well I managed to disassemble it but the LCD

is covered with some gel type adhesive. how can I remove this and

I'm not talking around the edges... im talking across its entire surface.

I've never seen a screen glued to the glass like this.

Power flex button

Hi,

I broke the power flex button while opening my device. I cannot find that piece anywhere. I found a power switch button on ebay that is for an htc wildfire S and it looks a lot that the piece I broke. Do you think I can use that piece as a replacement part?

Regards

Obviously I'm not made to take phones apart.

This was my second phone that I tried and ended up in the bin.

I'm quite frustrated because I'm pretty good at repairing stuff but phones.... it seems like I'm not wired for them. The most annoying part is that I kind of knew this would happen.

Repairs Universe, can I get a sim card tray replacement....please.
[HTC Amaze 4G] wontfallo:
Same here

I did the same things. The instructions I found online were not clear about removing the actual power button and not the flex cable. I am also looking for a replacement power button. Any help would be great. thanks.

---------- Post added at 06:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 AM ----------

Unfortunately this is what they do not tell you. This is very different from most phones where you can simply just replace the digitizer or LCD separate. That adhesive will not be able to remove cleanly enough. You have to purchase the LCD and digitizer pre-assembled.
[HTC Amaze 4G] repairsuniverse:
You're most welcome!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Hey everyone, can someone tell me the proper way of removing an lcd and putting it back on without short circuiting it I'm asking not because I have to fix my Amaze (nothings wrong don't worry), I'm just worried because a long time ago I short circuited my PSP 3000 screen and don't want to do that ever again if I have to change something. :)

Thanks people.
[HTC Amaze 4G] repairsuniverse:
Try using a anti-static wrist strap during your repair.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bramz:
Go to a hardware store and buy some Epoxy which normally comes in 2 toothpaste like tubes and use Q-tip to mix and dab it along sparingly around the edges in a water droplet type fashion all the way around, or the excess will come out on your screen or the phone bezel /housing/ exterior
[HTC Amaze 4G] repairsuniverse:
Epoxy is a great idea! Try using isopropyl alcohol or goof off to remove the old adhesive. You can use almost any standard adhesive remover found at a hardware store. Just don't use any off it in excess as that could damage flex cables.

I decided to dump the stock FP1 kernel for everyone who has been looking for an way to get it without having to go back to stock. It's Odin only right now, but I'll try to put together a CWM in the next day or two when I get time.

Stock FP1 kernel Odin: http://www.mediafire.com/?ns38atiw1d7er5x

EDIT: We now have a CWM version thanks to dwitherell. See his post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24459684&postcount=8

Make sure you're at rfs before flashing either of these kernels, otherwise, you'll hang at boot.

DISCLAIMER: As usual, I'm not responsible if this breaks your phone, burns down your house, or causes your dog to run away. I've tested it and it works for me.

Big thanks go to imnuts, both as an inspiration and for the many examples that I've studied and followed to get enough confidence to do this.

One more note. When I was testing this, installing PBJ over FP1 killed my boot animation and flashing the FP1 kernel didn't bring it back. If this happens to you, reflash your ROM and it should fix it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
sweet, this is what we need. It's a pain to go back to full image. Thanks bro.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
This kernel can be flashed if you never took the OTA, still custom ROM, custom kernel, and would like to flash eclipse 2.0?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Yep. This will bring you to the FP1 kernel from any state.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
Thank you so much!
[Verizon Droid Charge] THEbigSWEEN:
Awesome! Thanks man. Nice to have to try out the kernel without having to deal with the rest of stock. Now I can see if the radios really are new and improved! ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] matalo:
I get stuck on SAMSUNG screen after flashing this on top of Eclipse 2.0. I am going to try backing out and trying again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Posted this elsewhere, but...

Ironically I only put together a

cwm zip

a while back and not an ODIN...

With our powers combined... ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] THEbigSWEEN:
Uh-oh! Double trouble! :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
It's definitely working for me. Are you getting any other errors?
[Verizon Droid Charge] matalo:
No, I reverted to stock and then moved to Tweakstock to test that out. I will go back to Eclipse 2.0 and try this again later today.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
It's not a good idea to run FP1 kernel on any EP4 rom. It meant to be use with FP1 base rom only.
[Verizon Droid Charge] wetwaterdog:
Just what is the FP1 base rom? I thought the only way to get to the FP1 was from the base rom EP4.

Example, if I am currently running FP1 Eclipse, when I flash this, will I end up back at stock FP1.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Base rom, meaning a rom using FP1 as the base. Flashing this over Eclipse 2.0 will work fine, and should get your wifi back if you're having wifi issues.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kintwofan:
I just had the weirdest thing. first, I am running eclipse 2.0 with PNJ. I tried to CWM the stock FP1 kernel after disabling voodoo Lagfix. My system booted up, but was so slow it was unusable. I cleared my caches before the flash and backed up (thankfully) any idea what went wrong. Of ya I also have tried reflashing ROM and kernel a couple times to see if it'll work. Any ideas what I'm missing here, I know it's something simple.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Did you try the Odin instead?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kintwofan:
Not yet. I figured it was the same kernel and I was having a problem with switch from voodoo lagfix to regular RFS file system, but I'll try the Odom kernel
[Verizon Droid Charge] THEbigSWEEN:
Were you using Voltage Control or SetCPU? I know when I first flashed the kernel it defaulted to Power Save for the Governor which was making it run pretty slow.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kintwofan:
Yea I had voltage control, but it restored it to default before flashing. I think I'll just have to go back to stock, take update then root and put eclipse back on. If I decide I really want my wifi working again.

Thanks for the a suggestions.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
Just a thought but did you install the fp1 modem? (Radio).. eclipse does not come with it.....

SENT FROM THE DOG POUND
[Verizon Droid Charge] kintwofan:
Yes I'm running the modem and eclipse 2.0 just missing the kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Is it possible to "repack" the kernel until source rolls in? Like what imoseyon did before we got the GB OTA?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
I would be very interested in such things as well. My attempts were less than successful, even though similar approaches worked fine for ep4d.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I was going to attempt to do this, but now that the source it out, I'll probably hold off and see if imnuts ges PBJ updated. I may still do it as a personal exercise, but it probably won't see a release unless PBJ hasn't been updated by then.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Easily possible, I just didn't feel like doing it, plus I'm busy with other stuff :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
YOU. GIVE ME PBJ KERNEL UPDATE. NOW.
[Verizon Droid Charge] piizzadude:
From what I read in the tweak thread it is just about there

[Verizon Droid Charge] Oldtymehockey:
I am having trouble with the CWM version of this radio update. I am currently running the following:

Eclipse 2.0

Baseband i510.06.FP1

Kernel 2.3.35.4-EP4-g311a209

Build SCH-I510.FP1

CWM version 5.0.2.7

I try to add the FP1 radio through CWM and I get stuck at the Samsung screen. I am able to restore back to the above settings though so I am not bricked by trying to add the FP1 update.

I am interested in the radio update as I do not have WiFi, my radio crackles, and the speaker/mic totally cut out in the middle of calls.

Anyone have any pointers?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Do you happen to be on ext4? The stock kernel will not boot on ext4...You have to be on rfs.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Oldtymehockey:
I believe I am on EXT4. I am not certain however. I don't see a way the device indicates the file system.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kintwofan:
Use terminal emulator and your mount. Scroll back to top. You should see either rfs or Ext4

Use terminal emulator

Type su then hit enter

[Verizon Droid Charge] HTCluva:
It will only show conversion options if you flash imoseyon 4.0. Once you install it bootup, check to disable lagfix and reboot. It will convert then reboot to recovery to flash this:D

^^^^ what he said ^^^^

Thanks. I happened to have imoseyon 4.0 already on my SD card so I just installed the kernel. The Vodoo app did change for me. I successfully converted the file system. The device now boots fine with imoseyon kernel but when I try to apply the FP1 kernel it will not boot past the Eclipse splash screen.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Try to fix permissions in CWM after you install the kernel and before you reboot. I've seen some people say that worked for them.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
Also don't forget to mount everything first ..

And you might have to flash the rom over the top as well after you run fix permission ..

No need to wipe anything ..

SENT FROM THE DOG POUND
[Verizon Droid Charge] Oldtymehockey:
Woot! I have the proper radio to go with my ROM now! Thanks Shrike 1978 and cujo6801.

Here's a recap of what I did so others can be successful. I apologize if I am repeating what is already in another thread.

From EP4 on Eclipse 2.0 with EXT4 file sytem...

FP1 radios already installed and need to install FP1 kernel

Install Vodoo Sound

Apply imoseyon 4.0 kernel (if not already done)

Reboot and disable lag fix in Vodoo

Reboot and the file system lady indicates the file system is converting

Reboot in to CWM

Mount everything

Apply FP1 kernel

Fix Permissions

Reflash ROM

Boot and enjoy

If you have any custom keys or settings they will need to be reapplied.

Thanks again guys!
[Verizon Droid Charge] HTCluva:
Hmm. I'm not sure about that one then. I would backup everything then wipe data and start fresh. It may help or may not. I'm not sure
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Not sure it's needed, but I updated the stock kernel CWM zip to avoid issues when flashing it over some of the variants of the PBJ kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I thought I'd try the stock FP1 kernel. Will the tweaks in tweaktools work on it? Can I change the boot animation to the Tweaked one?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
I don't think the init.d stuff will work on the stock kernel, but I don't really know to be honest. Custom boot animations don't work with this kernel though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Thanks man. That's OK. I'm just trying it out for speed and stability. You don't really know til you try huh?
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Does the stock kernel use battery faster than PB&J?
[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
I've been using stock for about a week and it seems about the same to me. Definitely not worse.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
It's probably because I'm using it a lot more than usual. Trying it out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
@imnuts07 I know this is prolly stupid, but someone asked dwith (who doesn't know) if init.d scripts work with stock Charge kernel. Y/N?

@BleedsOandB no, they don't. It needs added in if you want them to run automatically
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Actually I'm trying out the Stock Kernel to see if I notice any difference. Running RFS and no O/c'ing might be the way to go. I was running Ext4 at 1200 hz. So far I can't tell any difference. After a few days I'll go back to the other set up and check it out.

Actually I have no clue what all those scripts do. The only reason I got into roms at all is because my Charge ran so badly when I first got it. Changing to Ext4 with Froyo was a huge improvement. But since Gingerbread came along I can't tell any difference in any changes I've made. However there is a fairly big difference in stability using Tweaked compared to Gummycharged or Infinity.

The main thing that gives my phone problems is bad signal where I work. That's always the same.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I went back to PB&J on Ext4. I drove close to 400 miles today listening to music out of my phone. It kept acting up. It never did that on PB&J with Ext4 and Smartass but it did a lot when the phone was stock right after I first got it. I would guess it's because of the stock governor. Whatever that is.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I get the same experience. Stock governor is ondemand. You can probably adjust it to ramp up quicker, but that would negatively affect battery life.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
is the ondemand governor in PBJ tweaked from the one in the stock kernel?

I have always ran on demand and get great results with it
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
stueycaster, I too was on PBJ (0504 though) and EXT4. I reverted back to RFS just to try stock kernel to see if there is any difference in battery life.

so far, nothing too significant to notice any difference (yet).
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I think it's the same. I get stuttering when running media and navigation together with it. If I'm just running media, it's fine. If I increase the minimum frequency or change the governor to smartass, it's fine as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Yep that's exactly what it was doing. It never happened on Smartass. I'm back to the set up that worked best.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Shogun_Iggy:
I'm gonna say it again. The BEST performance I've had is on the stock ep4 and stock fp1.....fp1 is outstanding and stable...GPS locks on instantly...etc etc. I have have flashed every rom and kernel since the Droid charge came out...several times on some ocd type ****...lol....fp1 stock kernel has been the best hands down....ill take performance and reliability over anything....tweaked 2.* was the best custom though. It would eventually crap out on me or there would be a little bugginess in my apps. I miss the crt off and transparent ics but extremely happy with the performance.

Also...I got a new charge sent to me finally from all that crackilin and poppin cutting phone calls......issue resolved.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nycghost:
Wow. I'm still on Humble 4.1 and it's been pretty rock solid, for the most part. 4G pops on/off but I think that might be Vzn. I do think maybe I'll go back to stock and do the OTA, but don't know if it's worth the time-sink.

Trust me it is worth it! Used to run that, and tweaked even with the stock fp1 kernel is much, much better! :D
