[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Slade8525:
Hello, looking for a broken/borked/dead HTC One to attempt a different disassembly method to try to help the One community.

It is my understanding that they are glued together, not screwed, and that the suction cup method does not work. I used to retrofit headlights that also used glues, some heat glues, some needed a solvent. I have a lot of technical skill, and i would like to try my hand at popping one apart WITHOUT destroying the case/screen. I dont care if its water damaged, cracked screen, whatever, as long as its intact.

Posted this in all HTC One sections, please PM me if you have one or know of one, i'll pay shipping to and fro (i will NOT attempt repairs, JUST non-destructive disassembly) and post the results and a video on youtube if successful, and ship the unit back disassembled if successful, and not damaged further if not successful.

Please PM if interested or if you have any heads up to exchange contact information.

Thank you,

Why not just read the iFixit teardown of the ONE.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Slade8525:
thats new since i had searched; i dont think bending the display is a good idea (unless its broken) with a suction cup like that.

thanks for the link; no point in this thread then :good:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Jammmmm:
I literally just took my One for a swim. Trying to figure out what to do with it...tried rice it seems completely dead.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Slade8525:
if it was chlorine water, the corrosion will kill it., but some of the hardware might survive. connectors would all need cleaned.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] peakcelln:
I think there is, iFixit said themselves their repair was a butcher job. They also didnt say whether or not they were able to successfully reassemble. I'd like to know if there's another way, perhaps using a scientific hot plate or as the you stated in the OP, a glue solvent that wont hurt the components. I hope this is not the the wave of the future with equipment..."Disposable Expensive Phones"...or Assurian gets more popular selling their plan and sending 75% crap... BTW, I agree with the nonbending of LCD/Digitizers...I see so many tutorials showing this.

Send it to me, or the OP if he's still ineterested. I've been opening/repairing phones for 19 years and have never been stumped. PM me if youre interested, I'm in Colorado. No guarantees, but I'll do the best I can.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Slade8525:

iFixIt already have a teardown guide up. http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+Teardown/13494/1

from that its almost impossible for anyone to dissassemble unless youre a expert in this stuff.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slade8525:
ive taken many tiny complicated things apart; soldered with a single strand of copper wire onto a 'dead' laptop motherboard to fix a desoldered chip, and taken apart headlights/tail lights and many other electronics dubbed 'impossible'.

its glued together; there are a hundred ways to get glue apart without high heat or fluid immersion or cutting. you can gas it in a bag to dissolve the epoxy without damaging electronics too. cheaply and safely.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c5satellite2:
Ifixit screwed up royally. The way they did it was completely incorrect. Do not use that as a guide for anything other than what not to do.

Heat gun, proper plastic pry tools, and small screwdriver with a t5 bit should the tools needed. And of course the proper disassembly steps in the right order. Ifixit missed that last part and already admitted they screwed up.

[HTC Sensation] boball:
Help! I have an old HTC Sensation that I wanted to trade in for the HTC One that I got. It's been more than a year since I used the Sensation and I don't remember the numeric pin that I had set up for it (the regular Android security screen-lock pin). What can I do?

My objective is to wipe the phone before sending it.

First of all, what do we do if we forget the Android screen-lock pin/pattern? (It just says "please try again in 30 seconds" as is the case with any Android phone)

Anyway, if there is no way to recover the pin (is there?), then my next question is how do I wipe the phone?

Someone please help. :(
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
one idea is to boot into safe mode

reboot the device and once it shows the splash screen hold the volume down key until it gets you to the safe mode

after that disable the unlock pattern from settings and reboot again

done

about wipe what exactly do you want to do?

are you rooted?
[HTC Sensation] boball:
Honestly I don't even remember what was the last state of it (rooted or not). :( I have had a couple of phones after it (the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4) and rooted (and unrooted) those too. So I don't really remember if I had rooted it (I think I had but not sure).

So can we look at both possibilities: its rooted, and its not rooted.

I basically want to wipe any personal data off the phone - because I want to send it to HTC as part of the $100 Trade In program they are giving for the new HTC One (which I got recently).

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
reboot to the bootloader and post the details

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luinwethion:
Hello guys,

I just have the Z for a few days, and today I received my Roxfit bumper, when I was putting it on my Z I felt something strange, the phone make some strange noise when I put some pressure in the left corner down of the back plate while holding the phone in the opposite corner in the screen.

Someone with the same noise? Is this normal?

I'm just worried because some users have reported that the back plate of their Z are getting loose.

See video: (turn the volume up)

I just hope water won't come in the phone... And if it gets worse I will send it to Sony.

I tried to put the phone in the water, and no problem. but I'll keep in mind, if it get worse I will send it back to Sony, but first i need to wait my 8X to come back from the reparation..

Hello

I have 4.01.16 T-Mobile romkitchen ROM on my XDA. It can only use 900/1900 bands, which is not a problem to me since my GSM provider (T-mobile hungary) is on 900MHz (i live in europe where is 900/1800). Can it cause any problems such as battery drain, network problems, etc?

KTamas

Hold power button while pushing stylus in reset hole, when you get "gsm ok" on screen, push button below antenna, there you can choose your gsm band.

[General Questions and Answers] kevdl95:
Hello,

I have a question that I've been scouring the internet for ages for but have never found the answer,

I own a Nexus 7 and a cheap Tablet that utilizes the Mali 400-MP.

In my expirences with general gaming (and benchmarks) the Mali 400 outperforms the tegra by a long shot.

My question is why this is the case, I checked the specs of both chips and the tegra has 12 cores vs the Malis 4 cores, the Tegra even has a higher clock rate so I just can't understand why the Tegra is less powerfull.

Is it just that the games I play are optimized for the Mali better than the tegra?

My thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this :)
[General Questions and Answers] chocoboss:
chip are different as Pentium dual @3Ghz = core 2 duo [MENTION=1247388]1.6[/MENTION]Ghz

Both have 2 core, but since the first is netburst an the second core architecture they don't have the same way to calculate, manage tread etc etc
[General Questions and Answers] kevdl95:
Thanks :D

Wow that was fast! thanks for responding so quickly,

im still a little unsure, the Tegra 3 uses the ARM Architecture and so does the Mali so i don't think its that simple, i could be wrong i guess...

if it is just for that reason, how would you go about comparing the two to find out which is better when looking at the specs?

Edit: ive just checked, they both use The ARM v7 Instruction Set, and i think they are both variations of the ARM Cortex-A9 chip,

plus what im looking for is more a comparison of the GPU where as i think Architectures are more to do with CPU's.
[General Questions and Answers] kevdl95:
SIMD's and MAD's

I've been scouring the internet and came across the fact that the Mali 400 has more SIMD Units.

Could this be why the Mali is better? I must admit that I'm not really sure what a Single Instruction Multiple Data unit does performance wise.
[General Questions and Answers] kevdl95:
Bump.

Recap: my question is why a GPU with more cores and a higher clock speed has less GFLOPS than a GPU with less cores and a lower clock speed

I have a nokia lumia 920 black , when i restart it , it appears in place of the signal the airplane and then the no signal , i tryed diferent sims that works on other phones , nothing , what can fix this issue (i have no warranty).and it's not locked and no signal what so ever .

Please don't tell me that you have a similar phone and didn't had this issue , I don't care , post only someone who has even a little hint of how to fix the problem .

Sorry for my bad english.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Have you checked the settings to make sure it is not actually set fro airplane mode? Also are you sure it is unlocked?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Rasfen:
checked and checked

the airplane mode it's not on and i'm 80 % sure it's unlocked tryed even a vodafone germany sim (cause it was bought from them) nothing . Tryed restart it , reset it , and flash it and still the same problem.
[Nokia Lumia 920] boril:
If it locked once you start with non-original operator sim card it will ask you for unlock code, so you will know it's locked ;)

do you receive sim error after airplane mode ?

Mine has a bended / broken sim reader pin and didn't recognize any sim card and after restart I got SIM error msg.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ramseyjack:
I have somewhat of a like issue. After restart takes a LONG time to connect and update the tile. Wife's phone, will state no service or emergency calls only, but she can text out AND I can always call her, so POSSIBLE the tile is not updating. Sim card replaced twice by ATT. ATT stated working on local towers for LTE upgrade, and after a whole weekend of no text coming in (able to text out)(???) all incoming test text messages (say 25) arrived at 6am on Sunday morning.

no data updating (email) while in this half-working mode. next thing I can think of is get new phone.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
If the phone is the ATT model and is still locked to ATT then you obviously have an issue with the phone and should sen it in for service. There is no reason why an ATT phone and ATT SIM should have an issue on the ATT network otherwise.
[Nokia Lumia 920] arh_3000:
I have this issue as well but only since I got it back from Nokia repairing the dust in the front camera problem. They changed the internals for some reason and now I have No Service and also now have new IME number. I contacted them and they said try a hard reset which didn't work then said I would have to send it back again for this to be repaired which when I got it back today has the same problem still. There is nothing wrong with my SIM card and have even received a new Orange one which still did the same. When I contacted Nokia they were next to useless saying I need to send it away a 3rd time (my phone was perfect before I sent it away apart from the dust in the front camera...don't I regret getting this fixed now!) which I declined and have asked to speak to the manager. I have to wait 3-4 business days for them to ring me and see what can be done. I know this is probably not much help but will let you know the outcome as it might be a setting or something I can do with the phone.

One thing I have found is Nokia Care is they are the most unhelpful company ever! Basically just suggesting I keep booking it online to be collected for repair. Once this is sorted I hope I never have to deal with them again!

At&T no Signal as well

Default AT&T Lumia 920 bought from ebay NO SIGNAL ! I flashed it but... no signal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I bought this yellow Lumia 920 form USA. I live in Europe.

Unfortunately it was locked, I called AT&T and they gave me an unlock code and now it's unlocked.

I put 2 different SIMS inside but the phone shows no signal at all. It reads the SIM from inside ( services etc) but It will not lock to a signal.

When I boot it it shows an airplane mode and in 2 seconds the no signal icon. The airplane mode is disabled thought I checked enabling and disabling.

I decided to flash it to Rogers after reading all these comments here using Nokia Care Suite. It was succesful. The conversion was from RM-820 AT&T to ----> RM820 Rogers Canada.

I had the ability now to change from LTE to 3G and 2G but to no avail. The signal remained dead and it wouldn't find any signal after searching for new networks associated with my 2 sim cards that I tried.

If I flash it again to the rm-821 euro dev rom will it work ? The thing is that I can't find it nowhere to download it. Where did you guys found it from ?

Thanks

Have you had any luck for fixing this? I also have the same issue. I gave my lumia 920 for screen replacement at Nokia care and after some time, it would just not pick any network. Please help me
[Nokia Lumia 920] TLJack64:
***I have the fix***

I had this issue with a replacement Lumia 920 that I ordered online. To fix this you will first need a t5 torx screwdriver in order to remove the two screws from the bottom of the device. Once those are out you have to pry the main body of the phone from the polycarbonate case and expose the bare backside (*giggle*). look to the upper right portion of the device for a really thin coaxial-esque cable... this is the antenna. To fix my issue I simply had to push the connector piece back into it's slot. There will be a firm but tiny click once this is properly inserted and you should now receive a signal on your 920 again. (apparently the build of the phone makes this piece pretty easy to become disconnected which is why we see a lot of this issue from various 920 owners). I hope this helps, if you need further instruction/pictures let me know.

[Nokia Lumia 920] PeriukBerdansa:
I have the same issue too...

At first I notice that my phone became hotter in my pocket and the battery drains quicker than usual.

After that I just thought maybe it was because of the bad signal on that area.

Then I got home and facing the same thing, my 920 still got "no service".

But I notice in the full signal area, my phone still can catch the signal. And when I get into the lesser signal area, all I got is "No service"

I've handed it up to the Nokia Care. And they fix it and cost me Rp.750.000 (US$60-65).

And still I'm having the same problem :crying:
