[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoosterX:
Late this night i finally got the time to continue on exchanging the touch screen on my fiancee's Legend, and at last i got the amoled screen out, with not as much as a scratch on it, although the adhesive tape HTC has used is VERY sticky, and i was quite nervous at times that i would scratch or break the amoled screen.

Anyway now it is done and it seems like the phone works quite well even if i actually had it all dissassembled on my table, my work was out of an very good double sided adhesive tape, so i may need to get the displays out again and fixate it better later on.(only used the tape that was already there)

Guys,

there is a screw hidden under the IMEI Sticker.

Hi folks

My nephew managed to squeeze melted chocolate into the front speaker, so the sound is completely muffled.

So before doing anything I would like to know:

Did any of you guys have access to the front speaker when disassembling?

I appreciate any feedback!

Cheers!
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexnikitchuk:
I didn't remove the speaker fully, but I have seen, that the metall mesh is glued with a little tape of adhesive to a touchscreen

So, you need to remove the touchscreen before (or it's top part).
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marzie777:
Thank you so much for the information!

So it will definitely be a complicated process..

Glory days those when the worst case scenario was to have 2 sizes of screws and one click.

So will try that this weekend and get back with information that might be useful to someone else.

Cheers!

Disassemble HTC Legend

Hello everybody,

I've broken the screen of my legend but just the screen, not the digitizer.

Precedents posts helped me to dismantle my HTC but i've taken photos of mine, i hope those will help you.

Excuse for putting links on this way but i have no right to post external links. Please, if an admin sees my message, make the necessary !

Firsly, here are the tools what i used

http :// yfrog.com/47p1040372j

Left to right:

- just a point

- slot screwdriver

- torx T6 screwdriver

- philip screwdriver

- a sort of mini-crowbar

- a needle

After unscrew 5 visible screws (including screw under the void stick), you have to unscrew the one under the gray stick with IMEI number

http :// yfrog.com/59p1040355j

I removed connectors and i take off the PCB from the metal frame :

Removing the digitizer (it's glued)

http :// yfrog.com/jdp1040367oj

Digitizer practically removed, just unplug the connector

http :// yfrog.com/n5p1040368oj

is mine

Then, make the same for the screen (slip a screwdriver under it) and you have these three things

http :// yfrog.com/2hp1040369j

Now, i'm wondering which screen buy on ebay.

http :// cgi.ebay.com/HTC-LEGEND-A6363-G6-OEM-LCD-SCREEN-DISPLAY-REPLACEMENT-/160484286240?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255d9bdf20

On this page, seller specifies that

And the number of the screen on this photo is not mine : JC100220060. The mine is JC100312070 and i can't find it on ebay. Is there one of you that changed your screen without taken the same on this number ???

PS : Excuse me for my poor english, i'm a french guy !
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexnikitchuk:
I think, this is just some serial number, and not a number of model.

An there also is:

"Compatible to:

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorkar29:
To fearalucard

For the digitizer, it's OK (look at the photo). But effectively, my screen was already broken but it would have been difficult to dismantle it without broken.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryblood:
I just received my new digitizer from china, which came with 2 screw drivers, but they are useless as they don't fit my Legend's screws. The legend seems to have star-shaped screws which I'm not familiar with. Anyone have suggestions on what mini screw driver would work? Do you think a case of mini-screwdrivers for eyeglasses repair or something like that would work? Thanks....

Speaker cover removal?

I have a question for those brave man/women who disassembled their Legend. Is it possible to pull out the metallic speaker cover on the front, once the phone was removed from the metal hosing? Or is this part screwed/glued and further disassembly is required before this part comes out?

Thanks

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stijnfolkers:
I've had my screen broken, so I ordered the display and placed it as described, it works, but I have a problem that my buttons below my screen won't work anymore. If I press them, nothing happens (so I means home, search, return and menu). Wat can be the problem? I checked the wires but they are all connected good.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearalucard:
Hmmm I have the same problem at the moment. Maybe we missed something. I hope i haven't broken the keys.

The rest of the phone works fine.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stijnfolkers:
The rest of my phone works fine indeed, but my buttons don't. And the phone is wortless without the buttons :(
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearalucard:
I'm sure we must be doing something wrong, Im going to pull apart the phone tonight to see if i have missed anything. otherwise i might have to look for another phone :'(

I have also noticed its slow to turn on, but that could be due to the fact that it can't find the 4 keys during bootup.

Any tips to troubleshoot to work out what the problem is would be appreciated.

okay well i have pulled it apart 3 times now and cant get the keys working. So Im just going to have to buy a new phone.

Its a dam shame, as I was able to replace the broken screen and put it all back together and get the screen working fine. The only problem now is that the dam 4 keys dont work ( home, menu, back and search) . I have no idea why they dont work as everything i can see its fine, cable does not look damaged, and everything is it its spot

But WARNING, don't use "super glue 3" (it is the strongest glue you can find in France) to glue the digitizer and the screen !! I used it and it sinks between digitizer and screen and it makes an ugly mark in the bottom of my screen :(

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markmccann1:
My Legend recently spent the night lying in a puddle of beer and while after a day of drying on the radiator it mostly works, whenever the camera is activated the screen switches off. The phone OS continues running fine as if I just hit the home button I can continue using the phone as normal.

I'm guessing it has some residual beer juice causing a short between the camera and the display and I'm thinking it might be worth taking it apart and giving it a bit of a clean to see if that sorts it out. Has anyone noticed how accessible the carmera area of the PCB is? Any picures of the camera area would be quite usefull.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jennan88:
Try putting it - switched off - in a bag of rice for a day. Rice draws moisture away, worked wonders on my wet iPhone.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markmccann1:
Already done that. It did improve it as originally it would restart the phone when the camera was enabled, now it just switches the screen off.

photos or video for more information about disassembling the htc legend?

hi everyone

i dismantled my legend yesterday. it was quite the pain in the arm.

since several people have been asking for more pictures on how to do it, and it has several specialities ("hidden and dangerous" so to speak) i was wondering if i should make a little video or detailed photos on putting the thing back together again, pointing out the strange points on the device which may make it hard to disassemble if you don't know them.

so: yes or no?

if: yes -> photos or video?

HTC Legend Disassembly repair lcd in YouTube

h ttp://ww w.youtub e.co m/watc h?v=TS_jaF8AXfk&featur e=relate d
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rummelnutte:
the disassembly isn't easy. there are youtube vids showing you step by step directions. they worked for me.

some hints, gained by experience:

try to avoid working near the power button connector (it is hardly sturdy)

same thing for the digitizer connector and the top speaker.

I ripped both connectors...still haven't found a cheap power button flex

the touchscreen digitizer, the amoled and the pcb are glued. you have to apply some force. to put them back together just use tesa doublesided tape.

in my case after replacing the digitizer the proximity sensors stopped working as they should. this happened because the blue coloured window at the top right corner of the digitizer was not coloured in the right wavelength. you can scratch the blueish paint away. solves the problem.

does anybody know where I can get a power button flex? I don't want to buy a whole broken phone just for the power button.

If you or anyone has the opportunity, it'd be great if we could get high resolution photographs of the PCB, specifically the chips. I can read numbers of some of the chips, from the FCC filing document photos, but I'd like to know the unreadable numbers too and how the chips are laid out.

Would be even better to see what's under the RF shields, if anyone is that courageous.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATRAC3:
I'll be able to post some hi-res photos of the PCB/internals of the phone, in a day or two, and one very important thing: When disassembling the Legend, there is a trick, after you un-screw all the screws, THE FIRST THING TO DO is to remove the four button keypad under the screen, with the help of a scalpel or some other thin object, otherwise it is very hard to remove main-body from the frame, because the 3.5 mm audio jack on top is sticking out of the PCB, clogging the way out, using force could easy break the audio jack, or even the PCB (as I've seen in some cases). After you free the keypad, just slide the main-body towards the battery cover, and then you can safely remove it from the metal frame a.k.a. uni-body. I'll post some photos of this procedure too, so you can see what i'm trying to say.

LCD not working now

I had to replace the digitizer so I went ahead and disassembled my Legend using formymobile's excellent guide without any hiccups (except for a small keyboard screw)...

the hardest part for me was peeling off the existing digitizer and then the LCD... had to use a lot of hairdryer and a lot of force, especially for the screen's lower part... it did come off and everything is in order now..

before removing the LCD (digitizer peeled off) i checked if the phone was working by re-attaching the mainboard and battery, and yes the phone did boot up and work exactly as before...

but after removing the LCD, i re-attached the mainboard/battery again, but this time i dont get any display on LCD or backlight... although the phone boots up (vibrate) and then after a few secs the keypad lights up as Cyanogen loads...

i ahve rechecked all connectors, strips, everything but the LCD is not working anymore... although the LCD is physically fine, I did use some force on its back in attempts to release it from the glue, but i was careful enough not to overdo it...

what could possibly have gone wrong??
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vintermut:
I buy Legend with broken display and ordered display from ebay. After changing my digitizer never fits 100% on phone. From left side i have half millimeter space between lcd and glass. After while my friend and I disassemble Legend and try to fix that with changing adhesive tape and everything looks fine until we return it to case and when put screws back same thing happens with glass. Then we noticed we don't have one screw. Now I wonder can this be because of missing one screw?

Hi there,

I am partially sighted and I would like to have all system fons on my legend scalable. Especially in the Maps app the fonts (street names, ...) are so small that it is competely unusable for me. I tried spare parts, but it does not work. Just increases the size once inside the app an has no effent to the rest of the system.

I guess even rooting would not help because there is still no system partition access. I also tried font change program and type fresh, but they do not work or crash (font change prog). Does anybody know another way to increase the system font size?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Everybody,

I rooted my phone yesterday. In Recovery-Mode there is access to the system partition. In normal use of the phone not. So none of the apps to change the font size can work (as I suspected). But I think there must be a configuration file where the overall resolution or font size con be changed. Dows anybody know the path and the name of the file(s) which need to be changed? And does anybody already know recommended values?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

last week I contacted i-p-tel, the company who sells Font Size (for root users) on Android Market. I asked them to tell me, which file in the system path needs or which files need to be edited to achieve a larger font exposition. I am not quite sure if they will answer, because of their commercial interests, but maybe they will begin to sell an alternative version, which could be applied in recovery mode. This would be great.

Have a nice day.
