Hey...
My Universal screen has gotten a little loose. When it is open it is a little wobbly . It aint much but it bothers me! First i thought i could fix it by tightning the little screw on the LCD's foot but that didnt seem to help. Now i have taken the device apart and sits now with the screen mechanism in my hands. If you look at the attached picture you'll see what iam talking about.

I think that this is the mechanism wich is loose. The part which is placed in the call/end call cover is tight enough, but the other part which is placed in the end cover (the one with the LED) is a little loose. Maybe a little glue can fix it? Or is there a better thing i can use than glue?
I have had a universal before and found out that this seems to be a common problem. What have you guys done to fix this?

I bought a rhinoskin a while ago, but just didnt like the size of the thumb opening. Also, the small slit over the screen didnt allow you to see the all the important info.
This is what it was like.

However, like I said, didn't like the buttons. So I brought out my trusty dremmel and started making a mess.
Once a little wet sanding was conducted afterward, I decided I needed to dry it off, quick. So what better than to put it in the oven. However, I forgot it was in there. By the time I got it out, the neoprene foam was sitting on the bottom of the oven.
No real problem, it was still sticky, so I got some foam at a hobby store, and cut it to size, making just enough space for my WIFI card. Then only a little paint and clear coat, and you get what you see below.
I just posted a easy fix for the loose sliding keyboard for the Dopod 838 Pro/ Hermes at my Blog.
Loose Slider Fix
My slider was ok for a month then I dropped it once and since then it has been a bit loose. Not very loose, but just annoyingly so.

Place the clear scotch tape on both sides of the rails denoted by the yellow boxes. The idea is to let the tape secure evenly and snugly into the sides of the rails.
THANKS FOR THIS
I was dreading having to take it apart
Seen this fix before, but thanks for posting it again. My keyboard isnt too loose yet, but I will keep this in mind for the future
thank you.
thanks, nice easy fix! I definately prefer the slide not to be loose at all.
For those with a stout heart and a mind to getting to the source of the problem and a lasting fix, see here:

So I ordered a replacement screen finally, as i have been with a cracked screen for awhile now. New screen came in and i begin to disassemble my phone, and remove the old screen no problem. I get to install the new one, and fit it in, its a little tight and I put a slight amount of pressure and the new one cracks in the corner. I was pretty pissed. So I then noticed that there is no gap at all between the digitizer and the hole for the optical joystick.
It was a screen from Chuanbo Zhang on amazon, which has plenty of reviews.

Did i just get a badly made screen? or is this normal for most screens or is there some version of the Droid Inc that has no gap between those parts?
Should I still try and repair this phone after ive had it for so long? Or is it time to retire and go for something new.
I got one of these..
I yet can't find a back cover for this.
Only thing i have found are stupid pouches.
If anyone comes across a back cover please post a link, cause the back looks made of very soft plastic one drop and it will get scratched.
Thank you
Backcase found it!!! not quite sure its worth it
Amzer-Pudding-TPU-Case-Black in fommy site
I found a compatible cover.
This is for the micromax A1 ( the other Android One phone we have).
Works perfect though the camera hole look's funny.
It's a Bit Covered but functionality is not hindered

Hello and thanks in advance for any help.
I am happily running PH-1 with stock system, no mods of any kind as my daily, and now on my 3rd replacement screen.
This time around, one of the surface mount components came off (glue job gone bad, long story) and I want to replace it, myself, which I am able to do though I need to I.D. the component.
Attached pic of my connector, and showing which component that I'm needing to ID.
My screen works though I've no touch-response and I'm thinking it must have somethin to do with the missing part of the circuit.
Yes I've looked at the possibility of resetting and forcing a recalibrate etc... I didn't have to reset with my previous 2 replacements. So first I'd like to take care of this item just to put it aside, hoping that it's the problem.
Again thanks for any help, I've searched for quite some time and have not found schematics nor a hi-def enough image of that area.
