Well, i managed to get the lcd and tocuh sceen apart, and now am stuck with the soldering part either.

the sceen has to be pushed out from the inside....the glue they used is pretty strong. and the display breaks pretty fast....

isnt there a way to connect the lcd and ts without soldering?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Muza:
around $16 shipped from dealexreme (or whatever that site was called)

I ordered mine.

Looks like I've just wrecked my Diamond.

Tried to replace the touchscreen and got about halfway there. Put it back together to check it was still working - and it wasn't. I think I may have damaged one of the ribbon cables but I was so careful I really can't understand how.

I'm pretty annoyed with myself to say the least.

If anyone has had something similar happen to them and recovered from it, please let me know.

Tim. :mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vincenz:
did you manage to solder it? when i 1st saw the cable, i thought it should be easy as it was like to slot it into a connector.

i haven't tear off my phone yet. for your case, when you took out the lcd and digitizer, the cables connection were soldered? You soldered it off or ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sheetzoo:
there is no connecter or slot...both cables, the digitizer and the lcd cable need to be soldered together.

it shouldnt be hard to do, but the contacts are very small and im kind of afraid of doing it myself..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vincenz:
so you need to solder it off 1st, then only you solder it back?

anyone out there done this before, appreciated if share your experience on this. Is it any solder gun will do or need a specific soldering gun which can adjust temperatures?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vincenz:
Well, unfortunately i teared off the lcd ribbon cable which connecting the digitizer ribbon cable when i'm try to solder both cables off. So i guess a whole new lcd screen needed now.... sucks...!!!

without proper soldering skills, please do not try to change your digitizer!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mancsoulja:
Can i confirm is it just possble to replace the digitizer? i too bought a digitizer a few months ago because i scratched my screen, i have been putting off getting it replace because i havent found a shop yet wich i trust to take my diamond apart lol but after reading this thread im thinking that maybe ive wasted my money just buying a digitizer :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vincenz:
you could only if you have competent soldering skill. its not too hard for the disassembly, pretty straight forward. I just stuck at the soldering part which to solder out the ribbon cables that connecting both LCD and Digitizer. It could be easy if soldering just a piece of cake to you. Just need to be extreme becareful not to tear off the ribbon like i did. :(

Anyhow you can jus take to any repair shop which i believe their soldering must be pretty intermediate.

Currently waiting for my LCD with Digitizer to arrive. It already soldered together, so i assume it should be easy now. Just hope everything works fine when assembled back! finger crosss!!!! :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] illuzn:
Ahh wish I came across this forum earlier!

Bought an LCD and a digitizer (long story, but first I bought the lcd thinking that was cracked, and then realised it was the digitizer).

Well I've got the lcd and digitizer seperately now. Opened the phone up and found I was stuck when it came to removing the lcd/digitizer like the other ppl here. Tried to pry it loose, but no go. Put it back together for the time being and I'm getting nothing on the screen at all.

Just wondering where you guys bought the digitizer/lcd set from? And once you get it, is it a straight out replacement?

Cos from what I can managed to get to, I couldn't work out how to remove the lcd/digitizer from the chassis as a whole?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vincenz:
you need a plastic laminated business card which strong enough for you to slice between the housing and the digitizer from the front. Slice around the screen and with a little force, you should able to pry it and take it out as a whole. I've done it without cracking my digitizer or lcd screen. Good luck on this.

you may try search around in Ebay, should get plenty results. Anyway, if you didn't manage to take out the lcd unit, your 'nothing on screen' should because the connector not connected properly with your mainboard. try to reassemble it, the connector is below the mainbaord from top view, which the lcd connector needed to connect to.

Anyway, now you have both the lcd and digitizer, you should try to solder it 1st before you try to install. Anyhow it still better to send into nearby shop to repair if you feel uncomfortable on this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] illuzn:
Woo hoo!

Managed to successfully replace it in the end. Thought I'd write up just quick and rough how-to for anyone else who is planning to do the same thing!

Tmobile Compact

I have a T-mobile Compact IV and I have bought a digitizer and a LCD screen to replace a cracked one.

I can't dissassemble the phone though! I take all the screws out but can't work out how to take the casing apart! On the video the casing just lifts straight off but on my its holding tight!

There also appears to be some machine cut electrical tape covering some of the cover inside and I don't really want to start removing all that, unless it's going to do something revealing.

This is my first post here. May I just say you're all amazing folks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DOC767:
THANKYOU FOR DOING THIS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR A HOW TO!! I havent tried this yet but I am hoping that it will go pretty smooth. Can I PM you if I have any problems?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] joshsmit07:
Well, I'm glad I found this thread. I, too had gotten the service manual and wtf'd for a while about not having anything about the screen. I do have one question though - is the solder already on the pads sufficient to make the connection? looking at my new unit, there doesn't seem to be any way to add solder without making a HUGE mess of the ribbin cable, not to mention the danger of toasting it in the process. Thanks all for this informative thread.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ducamie:
im about to attempt this but i already stripped one screw on the antenna cover and on my way to stripping two more on the mainboard cover

anyone know where i can get replacement screws? i drilled the head off the one on the antenna cover and its stable with only two screws holding it but i'd rather not have to drill the heads off these two other screws without knowing i can get replacements.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ducamie:
3 hours later...

i have it working but touch screen only seems to register at the top left of the screen (on the start button) i tried calibrating it but after each calibration it starts again and i cannot get out of the calibration program.. any ideas?

perhaps my soldering wasnt brilliant
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ducamie:
ok just to document for people who might have a similar problem my soldering was the issue. there was a slight joint between two of the terminals.

my bayd..

all working now :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] joshsmit07:
Yeah, the soldering is definately the hardest part - not to mention attaching the LCD to the digitizer. I highly recommend buying a preassembled unit in order to avoid these two problems - if I had had a preassembled unit this would have taken about 2 hours, instead of the 2 days it took cursing with a magnifying glass and an iron. Just my two cents.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mdajansen:
ianian,

I'm stuck dismanteling a t-mobile compact IV too. Have you had any luck sofar in getting your phone disambled?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] BuffaloBooker:
Same problem....broken digitizer...

I think that is the glass like material on top of the LCD...

I have the CDMA version, but I assume them to be very similar.

I bought the digitizer separately (24$ vs 80$)

Any chance someone could post up some closeups of the soldering and what it should look like..

Thanks

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] snoopy20:
How did you guys stick the digitizer back on? I wasn't aware that I'd need "transparent" glue, I can see this part being a barrel of laughs ...

[ Currently got the new digitizer ready to go onto the glass that didn't crack when I removed it. ]

broken htc diamond display? I CAN HELP! :)

Hi!

I had a broken display on my HTC Diamond and I changed this. I am a woman, but not an analfabet :)

A bought this item from the seller:

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-FULL-LCD-WI...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item439bddce37

This is an LCD display and the digitizer together, you don`t need at glue.

It was perfectly and very cheap. This cost a horribile many here in Sweden.

And I found a videos:

http://www.gizmostruction.se/htc-touch-diamond-oppning-lcd-byte/

This is a swedish page but very informativ. It does not show how it is necessary to withdraw it display but I do :)

Only press out from behind - adhesive/glue what is stayed on the framework catches it the new display.

This is very easy to change it!

I hope all can solved problem.

Sorry my wrong english!

Hey guys I have the same issue.

But the problem is that my Diamond model is a 2G one model no P3490.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nbeam85:
WOOT - Got mine working with new digitizer and and lcd

Here is what I had:

HTC Touch Diamond - Alltel - CDMA version

Very different from alot of the other diamonds and the vids I was able to find on YouTube...

If you are attempting to repair a Sprint, Alltel, and/or I believe the Verizon version of this phone and need a hand just shoot me an email at:

nathanbeam@actioncoach.com - i check this one daily

I will be happy to answer what questions I can, my repair involved getting a special screwdriver (Torx #6 - you can buy it at Sears) and soldering. Alot of ppl have complained about the soldering on here as being tough but I had no problem with it (and I consider myself a novice at soldering). Whatever you do, don't add extra solder and make sure you press the soldering iron on the correct side (the shiny side not the plastic covered side) and use a low wattage iron (radioshack has em').

That is all I think I can add to the discussion at the moment (without adding pictures or spending the next hour writing) that hasn't already been said. You guys are amazing with cell phone stuff! This is the only place on the net that you can find this kind of info!

Rock on!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] papo:
how to do replacing and what to be careful about on kaiser, maybe other

i just went through hell, opening and closing my old kaiser 7 times.

So I have to share this experience from this hell of day.

I don't use screen protectors, because they make picture worse and touch less sensitive and as well cost more then if you just replace digitizer from time to time. ($15 for kaiser) And that's what I've been doing. Replaced it 4 times on one phone without any trouble at all.

Now I was about to sell it so I was putting a new one in of course. But what happened, last time I broke screen completely, while trying to open beer with it, no wonder... so I had a NO-OEM screen and today was replacing digitizer on it.

and that difference cost me troubles. so:

be careful about and check if that place where you soldering digitizer on lcd is not about to be touching ground on cuprex, mounted on ribbon cable (like kaiser) I noticed it later, but problem is, it's so pressed up together, that pieces of solder even pierced the isolating tape. solution was to tender soldering point with a razor blade and putting two layers of tape.

and how to solder: clean old solder away, apply very VERY tiny layer of solder to digitizer side, tape both ribbons together, there is (at least kaiser) a small hole on both ribbons, you can use it to find best position. put small amount of solder on lcd side, on the end of digi robbon, hope that it will go inside little bit, it should. then make a test on endurance. use multimeter to test, every two odd pins should have around 400 ohms (if no touch on digi)

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Joe333x:
Is it possible to enable 180 and 360 rotation for the whole phone on a stock based rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
It was possible on the S4 using Wanam Xposed, so you will probably need that if it's made for the S10 line or something similar to it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Joe333x:
Yeah every solution seems to need exposed which Im trying to stay away from since xposed will not pass safetynet anymore from what I understand. I was hoping there was a file edit some where that could do it. Therr used to be a way to do with build.prop edits but seems that doesn't work on newer Android os. I did however find someone who posted and ingenious way that works temporarily, if you open google maps, navigate to anywhere and then exit maps you can rotate any direction, doesn't work for apps with forced orientation though but better than nothing for now.

I am missing the classic OnePlus gestures. I feel not comfortable with the gestures the stock ROM is offering. The other workarounds some people suggested were not really this what I was looking for.

So my question I'd like to ask: Is it possible to make a Magisk Module which contains the classic OnePlus gestures? And is there a dev who is able and willing to create such a module? It would be really appreciated.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] varunpilankar:
What do you mean by classic gestures? If you're looking for root app for swipe gesture then try this I had been using this since its initial release on my Moto X, but I recommend pro version for more customization.

When I am talking about classic gestures those gestures are meant which have also been on OnePlus 6 and 7.

Try this Swipe Navigation.. It will get you what you are looking for on pro, but you need to customize as per your need. (ignore the reviews for now)

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rageyoudown:
I recently bought mine for roughly 210$ minimally used. With the current announced specs of the Pixel 4a the OnePlus 6T should still be on top performance wise.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] msc3169:
Do keep in mind the 6T is nearly 2 yrs old and will not receive new android version after 11. If that matters to you get the Pixel, else the 6T is still a great phone even by 2020 standards
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nhizzat:
Also consider storage for your usage, fingerprint sensor, and overall size.

I have a Pixel 3 (which is about the same physical size as the Pixel 4a) and a 6T.

Fingerprint sensor: I much prefer the rear-mounted sensor on the Pixel. The in-screen sensor on the 6T can be finicky and takes longer to read but it does have face unlock which works really well.

Size: The 6T feels significantly larger when using it with one hand and in pockets.

Storage isn't an issue for me as the 64GB in the Pixel 3 is more than enough so the 128GB in the 6T is just a bonus. When I do play mobile games, it's always on the 6T only because of the additional storage, bigger screen, and bigger battery.

I went throught the same decision process. Got the 6T. It was $300 vs. $500 and waiting til October. I love it. Not worried about support because it's a very popular device with lots of dev support for 3rd party roms and I won't be keeping longer than 2 years anyway. I've seen reviews that compare the camera favorably compared to pixels. I like the camera (but of course I'm coming from an Essential).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chezzorilla:
Is this a know issue with the TyTN II?

When I make a phonecall sometimes the CommManager starts out of the blue and I see how the phone symbol 'automatically' switches off. At the same time my call is lost and I have to retype my pincode.

Needless to say this is very annoying. Is my phone broken or do I have a setting wrong?

What ROM? Radio?

What did you do to resolve the problem yourself?

ROM 3.29.404.0NLD

Radio 1.65.16.25

Prot. 25.83.40.02H

I have no idea what to do about this problem myself, other than taking out my simcard en cleaning it.

By the way, I have this phone for about 1/2 year now, and it has been doing this from day 1. It happens infrequently, sometimes 3 times in a row and then not for a week or so.

Is there anything I can do myself other than bringing it back to the shop?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jbev:
Sounds like you might be starting the Comm Manager with your ear during the call, then, in turn switching to to airplane mode. :)

I have done this myself during the middle of a call so it is possible.

If this is happening no where near your ear, then it sounds like a fault with the phone.

Hope this helps

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] RichDoe252:
I have been blundering my way though the internet to get my ROG Phone 2 rooted. I have unlocked the bootloader, I have a modified boot image from magisk, I have the ADB connection set up through USB and it works fantastically. I honestly don't know how I got it work, it involved many different driver update attempts and then figuring out I hadn't put the phone into USB debugging, but now fastboot doesn't work.

ADB will list the device, but fastboot cannot see it. I have tried rebooting the phone into the bootloader, but there is no connection on either. Not sure why I thought that would work, but I tried. I really don't understand enough about fastboot to get any farther on my own.

I have the tencent version and I was pretty certain I have the CN android 9.0 on it, but I am no longer certain of that. I am running windows 10.

This is my build number: PKQ1.190414.001.WW_Phone-16.0622.1906.19-0

I honestly don't know, but does that WW mean my tencent phone is running the WW firmware?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] RichDoe252:
Fun fact, I just got Fastboot access from my computer by using the side USB port and rebooting into the bootloader from ADB. Still not to sure about the version bit. I think I'm just going to give it whirl and brick my device, maybe.
