you're right. i am not wise in the ways of injection moulding design so i could be wrong; that said, i can't see the inclusion of 2 holes in the mould adding much to the overall cost of manufacture, esp. since it's a one-time overhead.

incidentally while googling lanyards, I discover that i have potentially infringed somebody's intellectual property with my hack. how about this for a lame patent application?

DEVICE TO CONNECT A FLEXIBLE STRAP OR LANYARD TO A HANDHELD DEVICE

[Nexus 4 Accessories] NoL1m1tZ:
While it is true that CNC machines are very flexible machines, they are not used in the production of phone cases. Phone cases are made through injection molding. Injection molding is not even close to as flexible as CNC machining is. The end product is based solely off of the mold and can not quickly be changed unless there is another mold readily available. I think your confusing the production of the actual phone with the production of the case, two very different processes, one much more extensive and focused than the other.

Again, rapid prototyping is made for just that, prototyping. While the machines and processes you bring are are quite adapatable they do not apply in this discussion. Also it would be wise to remember that the "rapid" in rapid prototyping is no where close to the speed at which a injection mold can produce parts.

While you are correct that it is probably a one time overhead, you have to comprehend how much that one time overhead costs, then consider how many consumers even care that you include this feature.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serpentene:
Your question may be concerning black levels..and not necessarily brightness (luminance control.)

RGB black ranges 0 255 which is typical of these type displays where "shades" of black

are low threshold set than the video media standards which fall within a higher set 16 235 range.

The brightness setting can do little for this.

Hi guys, was merely wondering what are the things I should check on my new Nexus 10 just so that I can be sure its not a defective piece. I mean storage, Ram and what else. The thing is, I am getting it from another country and believe it would be better if the guy who is bringing it over can check that it does not contain any manufacturing defect beforehand.

Also, can you tell me the steps to check the RAM, so I can ping them to the same guy.

Any reply would be much appreciated.

Motorola Atrix HD Repair Guide

Our take apart repair guide will show you how to disassemble the Motorola Atrix HD quickly and safely. This guide was designed by the Repairs Universe team and can help you replace a cracked or damaged touch screen glass digitizer, and damaged or faulty LCD display screens, as well as other internal faulty parts.

This guide will help you to install the following Motorola Atrix-HD parts:

Motorola Atrix HD LCD Display Screen

Motorola Atrix HD Touch screen digitizer

Tools Required:

T5 Torx Srewdriver

Save open Pry opening Tool

First step is taking out the sim card. This is located on the left side of the device.

Lift up the door and push down on the SIM card and it will release. If you have a micro SD card you will need to remove it.

Now you will need to remove the back plate of the device using the safe open pry tool which you can order from Repairsuniverse.com.

The back plate is held in by adhesive and you will need to be careful when prying the back plate off not to pull out the battery.

Start prying from the bottom of the device and then proceed all around the edges gently.

Using the T5 Screwdriver you will need to remove 10 screws around the edges of the device.

There are 2 screws which hold the battery terminal which we will remove later.

Once the screws all around the device have been removed, you can start removing the Mid Frame Bezel just like the back battery door in the first step.

Start from the bottom of the device and begin releasing the clips all the way around.

Now that the Mid Frame Bezel has been removed, you can remove the 2 screws holding the battery into the device. There will be a little red grommet piece which indicates where the terminal screws for the battery are located.

You can now remove the screws holding the silver frame in place. There are 10 screws around the edges of the device.

Take the frame out and place to the side.

Now you are ready to remove the LCD and touch screen digitizer. You will need to release the LCD and touch screen digitizer flex cables from the motherboard.

Once the ribbons have been released you may now begin removing the motherboard.

Using a safe open pry tool, begin lifting the motherboard which is held in by minor adhesive.

After the Motherboard has been removed you can move the long touch screen digitizer flex ribbon cable upwards away from the LCD.

You can now remove the LCD just like the motherboard.

We are now ready to take the touch screen digitizer off of the frame and replace with a new touch screen digitizer.

You want to press outwards all around the edges to remove the touch screen digitizer.

Applying heat with a heat gun or hot hair dryer will loosen the adhesive for easier removal if needed.

You can now replace the touch screen digitizer and the LCD.

[Motorola Atrix HD] repairsuniverse:
You're Very Welcome!
[Motorola Atrix HD] ginhead:
thanks for the nice guide.

I somewhat successfully replaced my digitizer last night. I had to main problems:

a) somehow I created a bunch of streaks on the back of the digitizer trying to clean off a few dust particles. I made things much worse after getting too close to the felt-like border around the digitizer. Damaged the border and had big problems cleaning off the adhesive that got on the screen. I ended up doing an ok job cleaning it up, but have some backlight bleed through where the border was damaged. I'd recommend to be VERY careful in trying to clean off anything on the inside of the glass.

b) I also have a defect on the LCD toward the top of the screen.

the strange thing is that the white spots are (mostly) only visible on a black backround. They are only slightly noticable on full color fields.

the other strange thing is that it appears the white spots are not full pixels - as you can see in the close up.

if this was damage to the LCD, I'd expect that the entire pixel would not work (unless I'm not correctly identifying what a pixel actually is). I'll prob try to disassemble again tonight and at least make sure the flex cable is fully seated. I'm thinking about ordering a replacement LCD display, but a little hesitant unless I can figure out what caused/is causing the problem.

I wonder if anyone has seen something like this before - and if this is likely damage to the LCD or an assembly related issue. any feedback would be appreciated!
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeltonh:
LCD Damage

This is where you applied too much pressure to the LCD screen. Sometimes it works out, others, it is that way for good. I usually see this when the screen has been flexed or hit. If a bright background kills it for you, then go bright. Otherwise you may want to consider replacing the LCD. But considering the amount of money you already invested in the digizer, you might want to save for something else...up to you.

Is there any other type of glue that I can used?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dr. Orange:
I wouldn't use any more glue.
[Motorola Atrix HD] ginhead:
thanks for the reply. guess that happened when trying to detach the LCD from the PCB. bummer.

I think I'm going to end up replacing the screen...I'm not seeing many new phones that have both SD card support and HDMI (or at least MHL) out. Hopefully this thing will have a long life as ROM support grows.
[Motorola Atrix HD] repairsuniverse:
We highly suggest using 3M adhesive as advertised on our site. I'm sure there are other adhesive agents you can use. But in the event you would have to re-open the device, you could run into issues.
[Motorola Atrix HD] aquaticbullet:
Hi,

I replaced the digitizer but after assembling the whole phone observed that the screen has white glow on the edges. maybe the digitizer was not glued properly to the outer casing. I used 3m tape and applied it evenly though.

However, after using the phone i came to know that it is not reacting to the touch gestures at the top end part. I suppose it is a faulty digitizer. Right ??

I have ordered the replacement and will be doing it again. Any tips to avoid the white edge problem will be appreciated. :good:
[Motorola Atrix HD] repairsuniverse:
Yep , sounds like a bad Touch Screen.

Now with the white edges . Check to make sure the LCD is adhesive to the touch screen good. Sounds to me like the LCD is showing though the Touch.

Thanks. This worked out for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] givoltage:
After using Nexus 4 for a week, I just found out that there's an inherent flaw of design. The proximity sensor is so close to the earphone jack that when it is turned on, it induces interference in earphone signals, causing significant noises.

Here's how I found out about it. In order to avoid the hassle of having to press a button every time to turn off the screen to save battery, I install an app that automatically turns off display when proximity sensor is covered. Normally the sensor is off, and when i turn on this app, it enables the sensor. Then I plugged in my earphones to listen to music, and then I hear the constant noise that accompanies any sound. When I turn the app off, then sensor goes off and the noise immediately disappears.

So, what can I say... good job by LG and Google, Not sure which one of them exactly is responsible for screwing this up. If they were to adopt this design, at least they should have had enough basic physics to realize there was going to be induced current that makes the sound go **** and add some sort of shielding.

I'm really disappointed. The launch on google play store was a disaster that lasted for months and the phone doesn't run as smooth as I expected, not to mention the battery life...

Is it a common choice to put these two things right next to each other to make phones more compact? Does this problem occur on other phones?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Seems like you're the only one with the problem.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K0v4L:
Well, they didn't know that there will be one guy, who is desperate to use his proximity sensor and listen to the music in the same time. **** happens.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cramu:
No he's not, I have the same problem.

My proximity sensor is always active, because I also use an app that works with the sensor (IntelliCover) to turn on/off the screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Maybe it is the app. I hear no noise when I listen to music and then launch Sensor Test (thus verifying the sensor is on and functioning).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icecicle:
Cause who actually wants to push the power button every time they want their screen to turn on and off gawdd

Super first world xda problems
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] givoltage:
To solutions etcetera: I don't think you tested correctly. You need to use some app that enables your proximity sensor and keeps it active constantly. Then put on your earphones and you'll here the noise due to the active proximity sensor.

Also I don't think it's a problem of any individual app because I tried several similar ones and the problem persists. The post above also confirms the issue on another device using a different app.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
How is Sensor Test not an app that enables the proximity sensor?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] givoltage:
You need to make sure the sensor is on before you play music through headphone, not afterwards. Also make your music volume low so the noise is not covered. You can pause the music and the problem will be very obvious.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Not obvious at all. I set up a Tasker profile that flashes a word to the screen from the proximity sensor (so it is indeed on full time), Launch Play Music and listen to music and there is no noise, paused or otherwise.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] givoltage:
I installed the app you mentioned and was able to reproduce the problem. Again you are testing it wrong.

The app only enables sensors when it's active. Once you switch to player and it goes to the background, it stops detecting.

Not sure what tasker profile you were talking about
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
You win... I give up.

But mine works just fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] givoltage:
Seriously, Sensor Test doesn't keep your sensor active full-time.

You can try any of those apps which auto turn off the screen, and you'll be able to hear the noise in headphone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Seriously, Tasker does... and I don't hear it.

Last comment as your continued denial is tiresome. Take it for what it's worth... the sensor is not causing any issues with audio on my Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] givoltage:
I don't believe it. There must be something wrong and I cannot tell without actually buying and testing with Tasker. I read something about tasker turning off the sensor to save battery. You might look into that.

I suggest you use something that has been confirmed to keep the sensor constantly on to run the test, instead of denying the issue by mere experience with a not-well-understood app.

If you do so, first you can confirm the issue happens on all Nexus 4 devices. Second you would prove that Tasker indeed turns it off without your knowing it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr5678:
I did testing. I downloaded IntelliCover and plugged headphones in. As soon as I hit the on button in the application, I heard that faint buzzing noise - no music required. But here's the thing: The sound is only momentary. It buzzes for ten seconds and stops, and then when you wave your hand over it to turn it off, it starts buzzing again and then it stops.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panick_mg:
Never had this kind of problem and i am using a lot the hands free.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] givoltage:
This is exactly what I was talking about.

As long as (1) proximity sensor is on (2) any sound is played, the buzzing noise will occur.

If you trigger one sound and stay silent, it fades out. If you play music it's always there.

Essentially it's interfering with the audio signal passed to the cable by the audio jack.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr5678:
If it's what I think it is......it's an unfixable hardware defect. I am assuming that the traces for the proximity sensor are too close to the audio jack's traces - interference.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootuser11:
you can also try voip app like GrooveIP and use a headphone. You will hear static da da da da da da da sound until you put the screen to off mode.

I was okay with it since i don't use headphone for calling but as OP experienced, I tried proximity sensor screen off tool for testing (PGM was a bit annoying) and i encountered this same da da da da da da da da sound as I was listening to music this time.

Man, this sucks. I don't want to compromise too much.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarksThinkTank:
Just found this thread after googling the issue.

A user of Wave Control emailed me about a clicking noise on his new Nexus 4. I've got a Nexus 4 as a secondary dev device so I fired it up and sure enough there it was.

The proximity sensor in the Nexus 4 kinda sucks and this problem on top of it makes for a really poor user experience in Wave Control. By sucks, I mean it's really slow so it's hard to do quick gestures and multiple wave gestures in Wave Control.

Damn LG... poor design.

Although.. I'd imagine it might be possible to fix the issue through the driver. If they can change the PWM of the IR LED in the proximity sensor it might make the cross talk go away.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectator02:
Yikes, just ran into this issue while trying Wave Control. It's a very nice app, but I don't know if I can really enjoy my music with the constant clicking. Guess I'll only use it with bluetooth headphones...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huge Fandroid:
I can confirm the OP's complaint, I'm experiencing exactly the same issue with my Nexus 4.

I use a program called Proximity Auto Lock to automatically switch the phone off when I put it in my pocket and on when I take it out. It's fantastically convenient, but it, too, reveals this annoying flaw in the Nexus' design whereby it emits a fast repetitive clicking (or slow buzzing, if you will) anytime audio is to be played. When disable the program, the clicking immediately stops.

This is irritating if you have the sound enabled for taps and you're wearing headphones, but not really noticeable for music, videos or anything with continual audio.
