Hey everyone,

I had the unfortunate mess of dropping my Evo face flat onto some concrete today. I didn't play the insurance plan so I don't have that to fall back on. Only the glass is broken; the digitizer is working perfectly fine. I emailed my university's Sprint rep to find out if replacing just the glass is a possibility, and if the price point is low enough, I'll gladly just mail it in. However, I heard that chances are, I'll end up having to settle with a refurbished unit and pay money on top of that. I'm comfortable opening up my own electronics and replacing parts, but I've never dealt with replacing just the glass before. I know I'd need to melt the adhesive with a hair dryer in order to remove the glass, but are there any techs out there willing to divulge the exact process on how to remove the glass? I would be eternally grateful!

Also it's my understanding that the digitizer is built into the glass. Glass and digitizer are words used interchangeably. Hope that helps. Good luck

I don't usually recommend YouTube but that for tutorials since most of them don't take the time to explain theory which leave a lot of new users in trouble but in this case watching any of the tear down videos will actually help you much more then written instruction

Glass can carry an electrostatic charge, its because of this ability that glass is preferred when building things like copiers(the charge keeps the paper in place) and touchscreens. The built in digitizer can read subtle changes to the capacitance in the glass.

How much would you charge for that?

how much would you charge?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chiggerfruit:
I looked at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxMxgnMmm60 for a tear down of the actual phone. Then I was going to assume that removing the screen would be similar to every other phone (i.e. the OG Evo) and would have went by a YouTube video and an iFixit walk through to do it.

As for the glass, I thought the purpose of the hair dryer/heat gun was to melt the bonding layer keeping the glass adhered to the digitizer grid. But, taking a second look at replacement parts I can buy, they don't just sell the glass; it has to come in a whole pre-adhered package (which is much better). I'm guessing the glue that's actually melted is the glue that keeps the glass/digitizer adhered to the casing? If that's how things are, then that's a little less scary than what I originally thought. It's really just this whole melting-the-glue procedure and having-a-really-hot-item-near-my-phone that's keeping me from doing this myself.

And I work with Dielectric Elastomers, so capacitors are a topic I'm quite interested in. But thanks for the quick background anyway =].

That said though, I found http://www.cpr-nyc.com (CPR = cell phone repair, clever huh?) and they look pretty reputable. I'll have to stop in their store this weekend and find out how much the procedure will cost. If it's under $100 bucks, I'll probably consider it (the glass & digitizer itself is $50 without shipping). Do any of you NYC goers have any experience with them? No disrespect to tuscani1821, but they're a subway trip away and unless you'll do it for much cheaper than they quote, I'll have to go with them. Would you mind enlightening me on how you would go about replacing the screen anyway? I would be very grateful.

Thanks everyone for chiming in!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] moses2303:
They quoted me for 130 here in Missouri and they didn't have the part. They told me I would have to check back with them weekly to see of they had the part. That was a month ago. I just shipped it to HTC and got the screen replaced by them. (I would not recommend this unless it's a last resort)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chiggerfruit:
Thanks for giving me some insight! $130 for just the repair, or $130 for parts and repair? And if you don't mind me asking, how much did HTC repairing your phone set you back? Also, how long did that take?

Maybe physically going to the store I can haggle as well as make sure they get the part soon. I'll share my experience when I go make a visit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] moses2303:
Ugh HTC was a nightmare. Originally quoted me for 140 then when I mailed it to them they didn't get it for 2 weeks (not sure if that's their fault or usps) then they requoted me 220 for the repair when they got it and didn't tell me why. So I just paid bc they charge you a 45 dollar diagnostic fee just to look at it and by this point I'm 3 weeks no phone. They sent it back quick. Got it back and fired it up and they had re locked my s-off lazy panda bootloader and erased my files. (I halfway expected this even though it had nothing to do with a screen). Then my phone won't activate on sprint, sprint had to do a special thing (quick ticket?) that took a day with adding my esn to the network. Took me forever to figure out what the hell that was about and eventually got a hold of someone from HTC.

Turns out they replaced my entire motherboard and that's what also led to the extra charges. I asked what they did that for (thinking that it was simply spite about my s-off bootloader) he said he didn't know. So they basically charged me (punished me) for having s-off because my phone was working just fine, just had a broken screen, which doesn't require mobo replacement. He supposedly escalated my call to a special team that I have yet to be contacted by and that was last week. I'm going to call again tomorrow and get some answers. Needless to say I wouldn't do that again. But I was in a bad spot and needed a phone and didn't think I'd get this much bs.

CPR seems to know what they are doing and even though I didn't end up getting to use them, I definitely would have had they had the parts. A quick look online and I noticed that lcd screens and digitizers are (separate and together) are now in Stock from some wholesalers. I'm sure you'll have better luck with them. They said 160 I believe with parts and labor. But that wasn't definitive bc they didn't have access to the part at the time.

Phew

I could do $100 if you cover shipping. That would include the work and the part

Find a replacement screen for $50, watch a video on repair online, and fix it yourself. Not that difficult once you get the hang of it.

Hello,

I hate Samsung's default SMS application.

Fonts are too big (I'm using Tiny size fonts), delivery reports comes as a seperate notification, no vibration options etc.

It is also ugly.

Is there any way to install Cyanogenmod's SMS application to Samsung based roms?

It would be great to install CM10's latest sms app to our LI1 based JB roms.

There are great features like Quick Reply etc.

Thanks.

Edit: Btw, I don't want Go Sms or Handcent Sms, don't suggest them. I just want Cyanogenmod Sms.

And I don't want to use CM10 since there are memory leak issue and Camera app is not functional as stock samsung.

Thanks for your times guys,Josh
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
"wrighting" should be spelled writing.

I'd like to know more: when you click the widget, does it open the main app or does the keyboard appear on the launcher screen?

Also, is there a main app in the first place (since you're just saying "widget")?

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------

Ok, installed it. It's only a widget (make sure it's installed to the phone memory). Simple to use, simple interface, non existent loading times. Clicking the widget opens a screen where you can change the note. Some themes/transparency would be nice, other than that, it does what it says it does.
[Android Apps and Games] besieger1:
thanks for looking at my app, what do you mean by add themes?

How do you like it stock vs rooted? If there's any other Epic 4G Touch owners who switched, was it worth it? I've been having awake issues, GPS issues, and screen flickering between apps occasionally so I think I should change phones haha. I've rooted but it hasn't helped.

Edit: Also how's battery life stock vs rooted and the biggie for me, what is gps like? Outside it can take anywhere from 15 seconds to never for me to get a lock and I use the navigation a lot. I will miss the camera though :(

I have an ATRIX 2 running ICS 4.0.4, rooted, running Root Explorer & Bootmenu Mgr. My Blueant Q2 will not install with this setup. I have Googled for a fix but have not come across anything. I have searched the forums & it seems I am not the only one with this issue. I see others have it using other devices. Any suggestions?

Thanks ahead of time.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Ok I am going to answer this for you, from a Volkswagen technicians perspective. Lol, I have been a VW tech at a dealer for 11 years now and over the past 3-4 years handsfree and even bluetooth streaming has become the norm for our stock VW radios. I get A LOT of customers complaining that their phone won't sync up with their radio and 90% of the time it's customer error, not hardware/software on either the car or phone end.

Couple of questions. Can you connect to other things? If it is JUST the blueant I would say it is on blueant's end on not the phone. I am running ICS as well and have no issues with the bluetooth.

Just like the VW radios, phones are CONSTANTLY changing and manufacturer's have a hard time keeping up with the constant changes and upgrades.

If you can sync to other things, I would be looking on Blueant forums. ;)

Hi,

Recently my battery stopped charging beyond the 89% mark and now people say that I need to get a new battery. I'm thinking if I should I may go for a long lasting one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-Ori...ccessories&hash=item2a22467775#ht_2796wt_1397

But I've heard that as the NFC key is encrypted in the battery people have had issues where the NFC stopped working or such. What should I check for to guarantee that it wouldn't be the case with this one?

Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S.: Still for the time being if someone can help with the 89% charge issue, that'd be great. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Battery is just holding the NFC antenna.

Beamed from my Maguro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
The battery only contains an antenna for NFC. The actual NFC chip is in the phone itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ginobili1:
Oh ok! Thanks for the correction guys.

Does this mean that I can safely go with any battery out there? Or the one that I linked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
The one you linked to appears to be a Samsung battery. It will support NFC. If you buy a battery without an NFC antenna, it will still power your phone but NFC won't work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ginobili1:
I just tried the battery and it still won't charge beyond the 84% mark now. So I'm now completely confused on what to do with it? Does anyone has any clue? I'm using the Franco Kernel, does it have anything to do with that?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
One way to find out- try a different kernel. If that doesn't work, try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, try a different rom. If it still does the same thing, it's time for a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ginobili1:
Thanks... I will try that and update... though all these issues with the Nexus are really making me think if I should get the next one or not? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ginobili1:
Tried a different ROM and the stock kernel. Doesn't help. The charging still stops at 89% or whatever random number it wants to. I really don't want to send this back, I just hope there was a way to fix it. :(

But I think the way back is the only way. Will talk to my carrier then.

Thanks guys for all your help. :good:

Same problem here...

After upgrading to 4.2.1, battery stoped charging to 100%

Now charges to 64%, and if I remove it goes down to 4% then increase around 30%

Not sure if the problem is with the battery.

Tried eveything else aound: Kernels, Stock Brazilian ROM (all versions), Stock Google Images, MIUI, CM9, CM10 and CM10.1

Really sad about that.

I have the exact same problem after just 2 months of using this device. The problem first happened when i upgraded to the 4.2.1 takju JOPD firmware! The phone almost goes dead in 6hrs with minimal talk time, and a charge stops at 84%!

Unfortunately, I got this device while in the US from playstore, and now I am back in India. Not even sure of the warranty coz I have rooted this device.

Can anyone please advice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sivaseraphim:
I'm not sure if this could help, but have you tried draining your battery first (until it powers off) and then charging it to full without turning it on? I've read somewhere (don't remember where but I think it was here on xda) that the battery statistics become more inaccurate over time if you don't drain it to zero at times. I think it's called power cycling which is a good practice to have longer battery lifespan. I hope this helps :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
Actually, it shortens the battery lifespan exponentially. Full discharge of a lithium-ion battery is unhealthy. Likewise, complete power cycles shorten the battery's serviceable life.

If you suspect the battery's internal fuel gauge to be inaccurate, you could do this once in a blue moon, bearing in mind the unintended consequences.

What ROM and Kernel is your favorite combination for Gingerbread and/or ICS?

Any major bugs with a workaround?

And at one point I had an ICS ROM that let MX Player play with no choppiness but absolutely cannot remember which ROM I had flashed! Is anyone running ICS and able to playback videos? I keep reading and reading and not finding an answer on that one. I understand that it won't capture video, but that is ok. Anyone? :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ChopperJ:
I'm currently using MIUI 204130 with the stock kernel underclocked to 816 to save battery but this ROM worked well with Faux's 052 also. So far this has been the best set up I've tried as far as stability, performance, and battery life.

I was also using TonyP's Paranoid Android (versions 6-10, haven't tried 11 yet) and was able to play video just fine using MX player without issues.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] einrae214:
So a rooted stock rom won't play the movie correct ?

Ok so it's a rented purchase from the app store right ?

Is the playstore in the rooted rom up-to-date ? I know there is issues with roms not being able to play Netflix i.e. cm based roms and what not.

If you go back to a non rooted status it will work so if you're at that point can you just simply root and be able to apply a recovery. They will work out the bugs honestly don't waste your money if you don't have too. Our just mask a back up and revert to it when you want to watch them.:confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
It doesn't work as soon as I flashed diferentes recovery even if is stock rom(without super user, my best guess is because status changed to custom), netflix works fine even on aokp now, but play movies doesn't, I actually don't rent movies from there because there expensive, but I do buy some tv shows sometimes, like I have the walking dead and breaking bad because my wife miss the beginning of the season
[Captivate Themes and Apps] casper846969:
I need a app that freeze apps and make my ram low so I can have more memory some times apps are running when am not even using them I have been using ram manger pro and ram boost but the thing is that on ram boost it don't auto boost so is there any thing I can do
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jmtheiss:
To be perfectly frank, relax a little bit about it. When you see those apps loaded into memory, that's actually a good thing.

What's happening is that the Dalvik app, which is where Android's memory management tool is located, loads apps into memory where it can pull them up quickly. It takes less time for Dalvik to take an app that is loaded in memory and start it up for use than it does for it to pull it from storage, allocate memory, and start it.

Dalvik is usually pretty good about memory allocation, too, so if a program that needs more RAM appears, it will unload other programs from memory to provide the necessary space.

Any memory that isn't loaded with an app is, ultimately, wasted, as Dalvik will clear room as necessary. If you have a lot of memory available, that's all memory that could be used to load apps faster, giving you a better user experience.

If you have a custom kernel on your device, you should be able to find some tools to tweak how Dalvik handles the system (e.g. how much memory it allocates to each app, how it handles the ramping up/down of the processor speed, etc).
