i changed the smd 0603 leds under the home, back and menu buttons. (soldering looks more messy in my picture).
very easy to do if you have had experience with 0603 components. what do you guys think.
Good job, looks nice!
good job brah! very impressive.
can I ask what the part numbers you used for the LEDs?

So good he said it twice! looks nice m8.
If we're making the world smaller, I'm from Cowes. Keeping on topic, yeah very cool mod. Question is, how to make them flash when there's email or a message waiting?

Looks nice! How do you figure out the polarity on surface mounted leds?
Gorgeous! Very cool, thanks for sharing.
Good mod.
Looks more colorful.

The plan was to check using the led I took off(they have a tiny arrow on the bottom.) But also the board is marked under the led with a bracket to show the negative. So just solder the led with the arrow aiming towards that
I don't have a streak... yet... but this mod is sweet. So much better then seeing white all the time... makes me wonder if there is a way I can do similar on my hero.
Thanks for the info on polarity arrows for SMDs as well. Thats once less thing to google now!

Is this kind of mod possible on the Nexus? How great would this be!! lol good job btw, it looks awesome....

sorry but the logical question that comes to my mind is ....why ??
I thought different led's drew different amps thus requiring you to also swap out the resistors.

hello everyone
Today I noticed my x10 creaks when using the bottom three buttons and sometimes the touchscreen. I bought the phone brand new from carrier 2 days ago, does anyone else experience this? its nothing TOO serious, just quite annoying for someone with OCD like myself. What should I do?

It is a plastic-ey phone, with many components, so there will be some creaking.. Don't think you can do anything about it, sorry

does yours do the same?
My buttons don't make any noise. If you even hear the noise when pressing on the screen, maybe the back cover isn't fitted correctly?

Thats what I mean, its' not the buttons that make noise, but the back cover I believe.. when pressure is applied. I checked to make sure it is fitted correctly and it is. Also I believe there is a slight creaking on the front panel as well. Is this normal?
Yup, mine makes a noise too, but its not noticeable unless you're listening for it

No that's not normal. If it's only the back cover, maybe it's bend because you applied too much pressure when pulling it off. But if the front also creaks then there's something wrong. mine doesn't make creaking noises at all.
hmm. thanks to both of you for your responses. I don't know, I am getting 2 different answers. I wish I had another X10 to compare

I have 2 X10s, they both make the same noise
Its not such a big problem really... you get used to it after a while
Or maybe its just a problem with Canadian X10s
Mine creaks too now, but that's after about 5 months of heavy to semi heavy use.

I kno what you mean, but I had iphone before and the thing was as solid as a rock. With the X10, I apply pressure I can feel some 'give' as if i am pressing the panels together, which creates the slight creaking noise. I dont even know if I could describe it as creaking, its very minor but still noticeable
When I had the black x10a it creak for me when I pressed the back button. After a few days I bought the x10I to have 3g on tmobile and it doesn't creak. Maybe its the x10a only?
I love xda app on my Xperia X10i phone =D

Hey, yeh mine creaks too, its more so the side pressure of the hand squeezing the sides when in yur palm, than the force down of the buttons. Im not very satisfied with the elcheapo effect of the back cover, lol. I too was an iphone user, solid rock, but i love my x10a!
Thanks to everyone, I guess it's semi-normal, I wish it wouldnt make any noises because it makes it feel cheap
Creeking here aswell and it is actually the battery making the noice since its probably has got a tiny bit deformed in 8 months of pocket riding it is able to move somewhat in it's compartment. Everything else is solid.
And i have to really stress it to make it creek, nothing really bothering.

^Thats a good point. Last night I was sitting on the couch and couldn't remember where I put my x10 down. I stood up and realized I was sitting on it. Not a big deal considering its a pretty cushy couch but I probably squished the battery together a bit.
I think only white ones make noise my black x10i is very solid

I know 4 people who also have the xperia x10, never heard them complaining about creaking. Never heard it either. We all have the black x10i.
Somebody here said something about a deformed battery, that could be true indeed. Lithium polymer battery's have no plastic case, they can be bend or deformed. It could be the reason your x10 makes creaking noises.
You could buy another back cover from ebay, they're not expensive.

Mine has an ever so slight with the left side down a bit but the average person wouldn't notice, I mean it's very ever so slightly.

Yeah that's how mine is except to the right.. I know on the Note 3 the home button moved quite a bit so I wanted to see if it carried over to the S5. Thanks.

A few N3's had the crooked home button, and it seems the gap between the screen and top of the device appears to have reared it's ugly head. Same manufacturing plant no doubt creating small but similar issues.
Is anyone's screen slightly raised up a bit near the volume and power buttons? Like maybe a few mm or less? This is my 2nd replacement, which also has this issue. I'm not sure if I should RMA again if others will end up like this. Is it normal, I would like to hear from others who have the 6P? If it won't fall off over time, I think I can live with it lol

Yes, i can see that at the top of the device glass is flush with metal rim, and on the side i raised 1mm, maybe less. But if you don't like it try to contact google and get new one again...

Considering my first unit was like this, I doubt the next one will be much dramatically better. I can live with it, but I am worried that it might get worse over time.
Mine is not.
Why? Why not ?
Turns out the buttons are not really attached to anything. Pulled it out, removed the black coating. Used red touch up paint and Walla

A small piece of plastic and a drop of super glue. Put it on there, let it dry then pull it out. Yeah I pretty much committed before I knew what to expect lol

I didn't even have to do that. Just used my thumb nail under the bottom and it came right out
Did mine. Let's see how long it last but it looks really good.
Looks good but no way I'd rock this thing without a case.
Even with cases I can destroy phones with my Butterfingers, lol.
Wait, so you literally just pulled the button off and then had no issues popping it back into position? Nothing broke?
If it's really that easy, that means we could buy a spare colored button from a parts site, like the orange button from the Clearly White variant or the green button from the Kinda Blue variant and pop it on.
How has this not been discovered, previously?

That's correct. I put my thumb nail under the bottom of the button and it popped right out. If you do it make sure your over a table. I didn't expect it to be so easy and it went flying. Almost lost it.
The button it's self looks like it's made out of metal but the back looks like plastic. I had a little bit of a hard time getting it back in but not overly hard. Don't think it matters which way is up

It matters. The clip that locks it in is offset. Only goes in one way.

Maybe that's why I had trouble. Just thought it was my fat fingers trying to mess with a tiny button. The first time I put it in it didn't go in right so I pulled it out and dropped it. The second time went right in.
