[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elisian:
This is probably a n00b question for the hardcore phone geeks out there. Apologies for that - I'm conversant in software but completely lost with hardware in tech devices. Thank you in advance for your help - I really appreciate it.

I cracked my LG Google Nexus 4 by dropping it. This means

there are spidery cracks all over the front screen

the screen is no longer reponsive

but the displayed image (my PIN lock screen) looks the same

and the phone is still receiving messages/notifications

I suspect this means the glass screen and digitizer (which is embedded in it) have to be replaced... but not necessarily the entire LCD housing. Is that right? The cost difference is >$100 between them. (Don't worry about the convenience/ease part -- I plan to take the phone to a very reputable local shop in any case.)

Glass + digitizer + LCD + case, $150 - "ePartSolution-OEM LG Google Nexus 4 e960 LCD Touch Digitizer Screen Assembly with Housing Frame Replacement Part USA Seller" on Amazon

Glass + digitizer, $47 - "ePartSolution-OEM LG Nexus 4 E960 Digitizer Lens Glass Touch Screen Black Replacement Part USA Seller" on Amazon

Thanks again - I really appreciate the help!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehumble1:
If you are not doing the work yourself, you will want to check with the shop first because they may require that you use parts they order. They don't want to install your parts and then have a problem that could be their fault or a problem with the parts you gave them to install. Check with them first. You'll need the LCD/glass and housing. I know it's a big ticket item, but you can't really expect the shop to charge you a flat rate when they have to do a bunch of work to replace a part that isn't really replaceable (the LCD minus housing). The shop may be able to order the part at a lower cost, though they might also include a charge so the part ends up costing more in total. When I replace LCD screens usually the cost of labor is much much greater when I have to unglue junk and replace pieces that aren't really supposed to be done like that. Even just swapping out the screen/housing is going to cost a bit in labor.

Watch this video, which is really good.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elisian:
So I have to ask you not to apply conventional advice to the situation because I live in Ethiopia, where labor is cheap and Nexus parts must be mailed from the US or fetched from Dubai. Believe me, I've visited many shops and checked. Replacement costs about $30 in labor, which is also half the average monthly wage for industry -- the mobile shop guys are relatively very well paid and great at their work :)

What I'm still confused about is whether the LCD even needs to be replaced. If yes, for sure I'll get it with housing - but I don't want to buy an LCD if only the glass screen needs to be replaced. I am looking at the phone and the image quality on the screen is great -- I have a hi-res photo as my background and it has no damaged spots.

Hi,

About a week ago my phone rebooted on me and wiped itself, i noticed soon after that all my space is taken up even though when i look in the storage properties i should have more than enough space (see the attached pic)

Before it wiped i had loads of free space so i dont know why it would suddenly not have any, if anything i have less apps and data on there now that i did before.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would be happening?

Thanks

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CollinFX45:
Hi All,

I've now had my Z1 (C6903) for five days and I love everything about the phone. It really is an amazing device, except in one area for me: reception. I've been looking at signal strength everywhere I go and it's consistently lower than my other devices on the same network. Wifi performance has already been discussed, so I will leave that alone. But cellular reception on my device seems to be pretty bad. Consistently when I'm with my wife and checking her phone (Galaxy S4) she will be on LTE and I will be on HSPA+. At work, my iPhone 5s gets an LTE signal where the Z1 only gets H+. Where the two phones both get LTE at my house, the others are 8-10 dB higher. I'm not going by signal bars, I'm going by the dB reading.

Has anyone else experienced this? I bought this for T-Mobile and it doesn't have wifi calling, of course, so when it loses signal in the middle of my building I'm really up a creek. I really, really want to keep this device! Would love to hear others' experience with the cellular reception aspect.

-Collin-
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean473:
You need to manually enter the APN Settings for T-mobile LTE or have T-Mobile send you a configuration message with the settings which will probably be the best idea!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CollinFX45:
LTE is working fine, when I can get it. I found the correct APN settings from T-mobile's support site so that's not a big deal. The problem is that the signal isn't as strong as on my other devices. When I get LTE the speeds are fine, but usually I'm stuck on HSPA where I used to have LTE :(

-Collin-
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean473:
Umghh weird... My Z1 picks up LTE even with 0 bars indicated easily... Get pretty decent speed too.. Try factory resetting or have a chat with Sony Support to see if they can suggest something.. Also try requesting a signal boosting case from these guys :P

http://www.pongresearch.com/dont-see-your-device.html
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CollinFX45:
Those cases are a trip - I hadn't seen those before.

Would hate do a factory reset, but I suppose it's worth a try. Good to know that typically this phone gets good signal strength for you. There is hope!

hey,

so which kernel/goveneur/shedeuler/rom is best setup for this phone for accu saving + performance

and can i place the hox+ battery in the hox without problems? Is the change matchable for a smartphonemonkey? Do ineed any specal equiment for it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Asking which ROM/kernel is best isn't allowed, to say one is better infers that the others are inferior in some way. This is disrespectful to the devs who spend their spare time bringing us this software, and free of charge. It comes to personal taste anyway, what one person loves, the next person might not like. Test a few and you'll soon find out what is best for you. Battery life is the same as each user has different usage of their device. I've seen at least a couple of people who have transplanted One X+ batteries in the Evita.

PS. Questions go in the q&a section, for future reference.

If you have never taken apart a smartphone or similar device, it can be pretty tricky. There is a lot of potential to damage the phone, both cosmetically and its basic functionality (such as breaking a ribbon cable). Some folks are quite skilled at it, and can do so easily. Personally, even though I am decently good with my hands and fixing things, and very good at following instruction, have still decided that I am simply now good at taking apart smartphones, and do more harm than good.

To each his own. But just keep in mind that unless you are very confidant in your skills, it can get ugly real quickly.

Yup, anything that involves opening the phone is going to be tricky, and has the potential to get messy. So basically, any type of part replacement. The device is simply not intended to be opened by the average consumer, if you just look at how its constructed. If you got the skills and are careful, it can be done. But for the average person, you will do more harm than good.

I got a Blue Angel from a friend for testing it for 2 weeks. I want to check out newer ROMs, install some proggs and so on.

How can I backup everything, test anything I want to and "re-backup" before giving the Blue Angel back to my friend?

You could also try Sunnysoft Backup Manager. It works well, even with WM5, in case you're going to try a WM5 ROM upgrade, whereas Sprite Backup doesn't.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morty84:
Hi first of all thanks for reading, I need help, I have rooted my phone using Philz and then went onto flash a rom. First one I tried had no app store so reflashed over it, that one was unstable so now I'm on paranoid android 3.99 which I'm finding OK. The issue is I never made a backup when I put my first rom on of the original Samsung rom so now can't find how to put the original firmware on(I thought I had but turned out I did it wrong) I must say I did all this rooting and rom installing via sd and not odin. Am I right in thinking that all rom files are zip and you only have to unzip them to use odin? So the questions are..

1.do I have to change the kernel for each rom or do some come with a kernel in its file? ( assume some do as where it says kernel on my phone it no longer says philz)

2.can I recover the stock firmware and install via sd and not odin?

3.a back up in Cwm in suitable incase anything goes wrong?

Any help or shoves in the right direction will be highly appreciated

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
1 yes roms come with kernel

2 no stock only through mobile or PC Odin. But there is a thread on here that has stock roms in zip format that can be flash through recovery.

3 yes. It's a must before you start to flash any thing.

Efs? Have you heard of it? You need to bk this up now if not and also bk up you're custom rom you're on now and don't forget to bk up preload cuz if you don't the bk up won't work
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morty84:
I've not heard of efs, what is it? I've made a back up and loaded another Romans didn't like it and had no problem really installing the back up. I've tried to look for a stock room to load from sd but can't seem to find one, I even went on Sammy but they all say flash from odin.

Guys, is there any way to downgrade from win 8.1 to 8? Without losing my data? I want my windows 8 back so desperately, I feel very frustrated with windows 8.1 which doesn't supports many of my apps. Can someone help me?
[Windows 8 General] ROORnNUGZ:
Do you not have your recovery discs or usb drive? You may have a partition your hdd with it also. I had to go back to 8 because I needed to update some of my drivers and software pre 8.1. I just installed back to factory stock using my usb recovery. It was easy just insert and follow the prompts.
[Windows 8 General] nikctsh:
I don't think I have any recovery discs or usb drive with me, I didn't expect this would happen so I didn't make any backup before I install 8.1, is it possible for me to create a usb recovery with windows 8 now?
[Windows 8 General] ROORnNUGZ:
You probably have one on HDD. Hit win key + x and go to disk management and you should have a recovery partition.
[Windows 8 General] Tel864:
The only possible way to restore is getting back to factory condition using the Windows 8 Refresh or Reset. Any app installed will also be gone but it will keep your documents and personal files safe. Refresh will also put an HTML link on your desktop showing what programs were lost and the links to downloading them again.

I'm curious to know how bad the update was?
[Windows 8 General] nikctsh:
I'm not sure what others think. It was really bad, at least for me. Firstly I hate the new start button. Basically it serves no purpose since it doesnt comes with the most-wanted start menu. On windows 8, I used to keep my taskbar clean (without pinned apps) because there is no start button. But now, the button is there and couldnt be remove, but it's function is disappointing. Anyway, the worst of all is still the compatibility issue. A lot of my apps previously on windows 8 couldn't run. It has been almost one year long of wait before my favorite apps on windows 7 become compatible with windows 8, but after a few weeks it couldn't run anymore because I upgraded my device to 8.1, I'm not sure how long I have to wait this time.
[Windows 8 General] SysAdmNj:
I've tried about 2 laptops with windows 8 in the past 5 months or so, and I returned them because I just didnt like windows 8. Dont need a touchscreen on my laptop. I figured let me wait for the 8.1 update as it should improve UI, and I'll wait to see the laptops released in the 3rd/4th quarter but from what I'm hearing so far windows is going to push me towards a macbook and even if I have to dual boot a windows 7 on it so be it lol.
[Windows 8 General] nikctsh:
I'm using windows 8 without touchscreen too, oops, now 8.1. If you don't like touchscreen on laptop, then you should NEVER, NEVER get windows 8.1. Its just awful for non-touchscreen users like me. Previously you can access all apps menu by easily right click or swipe up on your touchpad, but on 8.1 the only way to access that menu is by swiping up from the middle of the start screen, which means there's no way for you to access that menu using touchpad, though you still can access by clicking on a superb small arrow on start screen. For me the menu comes in handy on windows 8 but its a trouble on 8.1 :rolleyes:
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Or total rocket science, the little key on the bottom left of your keyboard with a lovely windows icon on it.... takes you straight to start. Go into the windows 8.1 settings and you can change it to take you direct to the all apps screen instead but this is pointless in my opinion. If you go to start, then begin to type the name of the app you want and it will immediately search for it, try it out. I just type "je" and it already has jetpack joyride there, hit enter, launches, or you can navigate around the search results with the arrow keys or click. Really not that hard to use without a touchscreen, even my grandfather can do it and he's in his late 70's

Also, right click on start. All apps button appears bigger.
