Hi, I’ve just changed my mobile to an XDA Exec, had it for about a week and just noticed today the screen seems a little lose where the twisting joint is. I’ll try and explain this: With the XDA sitting on the desk and the screen open (at 90deg to the keyboard), if you put your fingers on the top of the screen assembly, it will rock noticeable from side to side (left/right), which is then more noticeable when it’s closed up. It almost feels like there is enough play in it to cause some damage if not careful.
What I’m interested to find out is, is this normal? Is it normal ware (given it’s a week or so old) or is this something that isn’t right and needs some attention?
Also is it possible to tighten something up to stop this and are there any disassembly guides available for the screen assembly?
Cheers
Matt
same here!
same problem with my xda exec, it has a slight wiggle but then it really bothers me. is there a way to tighten the joint or a service center that can do the tightening? im from toronto. thanks!
Hi, At least I'm not the only one, driving me mad too every time I pick it up....
Do you remember if it did this when you got it or has it started over time? I'm wondering if I can get it repaired under the warrantee or if this is just a "Feature" of the hardware.......
Alternatively I'm interested in finding out how to take the screen section apart. Has anyone got any pictures of the innards? And if that is actually worth doing, e.g. is there a nut that's come loose and needs tighten?
Cheers
Matt
The common problem I have found is that the screw on the hinge by the screen pivot comes loose. Look at it with the screen 90 degrees out, It's obvious. It has happened on my last 3 Execs. The screens seem to be easy to damage.
Try removing the screw, adding a little super glue or whatever your local glue is and tightening it quickly. Works for me
i little wobble is normal considering you have a relatively huge screen on that end of a lttle metal base plate with one screw holding it on.
if your screw is tight, but you can wiggle the screen back and forth your base plate may be bent.
this happened on my UNI after a dropped it. the plate was noticabley bent convex. when this happens the base plate isn't supported by the plastic of the case. i removed the single metel screw (described above) and detached the screen from the rest of the case. while it was out i bent the base plate into a concave shape. once it was tighted back down the screen was back to it's slightly wobbly self again!
download the service manual and study the pictures.
It is just me or does the battery cover really not clip on very well at all?
Mine is constantly falling off and is not easy to clip back on solidly
Yeah i heard of this problem. The guy in the shop where i bought my phone told me that this is a problem of the first build devices of the X1. i was lucky, because i got one of the "secound generation".
maybe you are able to change it?
Sweet, if its not happening for everyone I will demand a replacement
how can you see which generation device you have ?
Kr
i don't know where you can see this exactly. If you'r battery cover fits on you'r phone everything seems alright.
mine is letting loose of it's clips too on one side of the X1. It's really annoying cauze I have to push it back into the right position every time. But it's not falling off or so. It's just not tight on the phone.
I had this problem, but it's easily fixed... if you take the cover off the back and find the two metal prongs which would touch the cover when placed over it (the sony ericsson symbol side). simply press them down slightly. i think they're there for a reason so make sure they still touch the cover. hope this helps.

Same here. I just took the back panel off and gave it a first squeeze, now fits pretty well.
Wish I had thought to do you method though, would have been neater as the back does bulge a little now but doesn't fall off anymore. Sadly I hadn't spotted that the clips were addons rather than moulded into the metal.
I must say that I'm not too confident about the batterycover at this moment. It still hangs on, but not too well. On my X1 it tends to jump off automaticly when I put the cover on, luckily it hasn't happened yet though. Seems there's some tension pushing the cover out.
had the same problem. i fixed it by expanding the little two bumps on the site, which hold the cover with a knife.
I saw a lot of owners complaining about creaking case...some on the USB part and some near the vol control ?
How about yours ?

Yes mine creaks too. I don't like it, my Trintiy never creaked. On my HD it is the back cover that moans when I squeeze it to make a thumb tap one handed. I thought it was partially my fault for removing the cover so many times to take out the micro SD. The back cover definitely comes off MUCH easier than the first time I opened it out of the box. I've seen new covers for $29. but that seems a bit over the top for a creak I'm going to make a space buffer under the back cover.
Same as matterhorn, the backside, below the camera lens. It creaks and its terrible! Feels cheap.
A simple solution for that creaking
Yep, I too hate the creaking of the plastic cover. It feels like the phone is really cheapish. I could not bear it, so that I tried several solutions (thin foam pads, self-adhesive tapes of different kinds) before coming up with a really good, simple one: I cut some PostIts to the right size (avoiding to cover the holes for those little tabs in the cover that hold it in place), stuck them to the bare sides of the HD (this is, the HD without the cover), and bent them over the back (where the battery and the SIM card are); then, you just have to mount the cover as usual --the photos are almost self-explanatory.
If you do not like the result, removal is dead simple. In my case, the added thickness of two PostIts inside the cover prevents *most* of the creaking (not *all*, but most), and now the HD feels much like the solid device it should have been from the beginning. This solution is really simple and easy indeed, but after a couple of weeks it has proved to be very reliable. Hope this helps! It has done for me.

Repeated submit, sorry.
Hi All
Picked up a Nexus 4 a few days ago and only just noticed (as result of a call) that the proximity sensor is reporting that its "blocked" at all times, so the phone things its against my head. I can workaround this by using the "Power button to hang Up" option but at present cannot access any in call features.
When I look under good light the sensor, there are 2 areas so not sure which is the sensor, I can see what looks like a bubble under both. if you imagine what an air pocket looks like under a screen protector thats what it looks like but its behind the glass, perfectly centred. I guess its possible that something has broken here as a result of the drop, the top left corner was the point of impact, does that seem likely?
I got the phone cheap as it had a broke screen so have a new one coming. Its the full screen, glass and digitizer. Does anyone know of the sensor is part of the screen or does it sit behind and then I could be really screwed!

Ok so I did a little more reading and it seems that a gorilla has changed the screen on this phone in the past and he / she has used compound to stick the screen down and some of it has gone around the sensor and the resulting press down on the screen has created a few air pockets.
Looking less forward to changing the screen now as no doubt with my luck the "technician" will have used some crazy heat resistant glue!
Also....missing the speaker grille....funny how you only notice things after you have bought them!
Search for proximity sensor fix after screen replacement here on xda. I've found out that if you switch sides of the little rubber /plastic cover that covers the proximity sensor, your problem will be solved. And the light sensor will work with no problems as well.

Really?
From reading the thing to do is either make the height of the bushing a little larger, height wise. Or, to increase the diameter of the holes.
I like your fix the best though....no messing about, just rotate.
Will give it a go, thanks!
It will work for sure, I posted this fix on a YouTube screen replacement guide of octopus glues I think and its confirmed to work from a lot of people. Then if you use a custom rom go to brightness settings while having auto brightness enabled and try changing light sources from dark to very bright places to see the instant lux values you get. If you are not satisfied with the result try custom auto brightness values.

Yep, I discovered this "fix" in a random youtube comment (was that you @Sp_Ark?) just a few days ago, and it worked for me. Then I found a thread here that confirmed that this could be a solution (which could have saved me a week of frustration).
If there's actually something on the proximity sensor, then you might be screwed. Well, not really, or $10 from China. The module is a snap-in piece with connector ribbon that also has the headphone jack. The prox sensor is the smaller one on the right side (when looking at the screen).
Disassembly of the Nexus 4 is pretty simple compared to many other smartphones. You'll need a T5 TORX wrench/bit for the screws at the bottom, and a very small Phillips driver for all the screws in the inside. You'll also need a tool to split the 2 halves apart (your screen replacement might have come with tools). You can find a couple videos on youtube, as well as a detailed teardown (pics) at ifixit.com. If you have a hairdryer (or an actual heat gun) you can make the process easier by softening the glue with heat, but it's not absolutely necessary. Just go slowly and be careful when prying the halves apart so you don't flex it too much and break the glass back.
Which screen assembly did you get? You can get it where it's just the LCD and the digitizer, and you can also get it that has the bezel and speaker with it. When I replaced the screen on my N4, I got the whole deal with the bezel and speaker, since it meant less work and fewer things to screw up.

I got a "kit" off eBay, [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181144377215?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181144377215?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT so it appears to be the complete screen. Ive watched a few videos but from the pictures it looks like the screen comes with the metal backing so I suspect I dont need to remove the old screen from the casing, thoughts?
Im expecting this to be the screen, bezel, and metal backing so I need to do is connect in my motherboard and all the other components.
Am I off in thinking this?
That's the full part. The one you've posted is the type I usually go for, they're good quality so far.

You made a wise choice, young padawan.
Yeah, that looks to be the entire front assembly, including the screen+digitizer, already installed in the bezel. Also includes the earpiece plus the speaker grill that you're missing. You'll have to swap over the guts, and that's about it. It's easiest to swap the power and volume rocker buttons first since it's a bit harder to get them where they go if you've got the logic board in the way. Just remember that the contact points need to make a ^ rather than a v when you're assembling it with the screen facing down. Tweezers are good to have, especially if they're very long and even better if they're curved. I also recommend doing this over a clean towel to avoid scratching the screen (there'll probably be a film over it too), and the fluffier the towel the better, to catch the tiny screws from flying and disappearing.
Honestly, getting the 2 halves apart is probably the hardest part. They make specialized tools for this, and often the sellers will include them, but it doesn't look like your purchase includes them (mine didn't either). Something plastic is the best choice, since you're less likely to cause cosmetic damage to the plastic (especially the bezel) if you slip (and you will slip). As I said before, GO SLOWLY. Work it apart a little bit at a time, alternate side to side, starting from the bottom. Eventually you'll be able to pull the 2 halves apart.
The battery will be stuck in pretty good and will need to be pried out. If I were you (and a week or so ago, I was you), I'd pop a new battery in while you're at it. At this point in the phone's life, it's probably had at least a few hundred cycles on the battery and has lost 10-20% of its original capacity. The other components shouldn't be nearly as hard to get out. Just pry in various points until the piece pops out. Do not force anything. Just work it out slowly. After you pop off the piece that covers the USB port, there's the board that has the port, and that can be slightly tricky to get out. Best way I found is to slip something small and flat (screwdriver?) into the port and push up and out, and the board should come out easily.
Thankfully, there's only 3 different screws used, and they're all easily differentiated from each other. There's the 2 T5 TORX that hold the halves together, the 2 very short screws with wide heads that hold the battery in place, and the rest that hold everything else are all identical to each other.
It looks like on your assembly, it comes with its own adhesives. Everywhere there's a blue film, pull it off and there'll be adhesive underneath. I'd recommend leaving the film on over the part where the sensor/headphone jack module goes until you're sure you can stick it in place with the proximity sensor not acting wonky. Download an app (I used Phone Tester) that can read the prox sensor. FYI, as long as everything is in place, and you've attached the battery, you can boot the phone without replacing the back cover, and test the sensor (just depress the center bit of the power button board). You don't need to screw everything in, but you should at least screw and tighten down the few that surround the sensor area. Once you've got it reading properly (best of luck), it's time to put all back together.
You should familiarize yourself with the teardown/reassembly guides out there. Go to ifixit.com and have everything ready to look at. This is the video that I used to guide me, and I watched it through a few times before I attempted it myself. You should be just fine with your phone after familiarizing yourself, but if you have any specific problems or questions, feel free to ask, and I'm all too happy to help.

Awesome, I saw some cheaper screens but that one notes that its LG compliant etc. I bought a set of tools separately so will have all the stuff needed. Didnt think about the battery, will order one as it does make sense!
Thanks for the info, will update as I go.
If you want to have a working battery like it used to be before removing it, you have to be very patient and extra careful while trying to remove it. Use some heat for the glue and try with something very thin like a nylon guitar pick. In anyway don't bent the battery and don't start from top. It will be easier to first remove the mother board. Iv already destroyed 4 5 batteries while trying to remove them. Sorry for my English, I hope you understand.

Yea was extra careful, used a little heat. Someone has definately replaced the screen on the phone before but seems to have been careful enough as no screws missing etc, except the lost the little speaker grille
New screen in and working well. The proximity sensor seems to be working but it reports all or nothing rather than varied. Is this correct?

Awesome! See, it wasn't too bad, was it? Ifixit gives the N4 a 7/10 for repairability, and that's pretty high for them. After replacing my N4 screen, friend/coworker asked if I could do the same for his HTC One M7 with a completely shattered, yet functional digitizer. I said "HEEEEEEEEEEELL NO!"

No, not with the correct tools. I will admit had I not bought the plastic tools, tweezers etc I may have struggled.
The battery was my main concern, its really stuck down, even though this had been replaced before and likely a less tacky glue used it was still tough. Had to use some heat to soften it and the "battery cover" has seen better days. Next thing to replace is that, just for piece of mind.
All in all, pretty nice experience, the phone seems more modular that other phones I have taken apart which is nice.
Recently, my back cover (upper left corner down to about the center of the phone as viewed from the front) has begun to peel away from the bezel. It appears to have affected the signal strength. It can be pressed closed, but will not (obviously) stay that way. It may have been the battery swelling...but perhaps not. I tried to contact Essential service...but no answer.
So Sad,
This phone is in perfect condition, not a scratch on it, been in a cover it's entire life. Purchased directly from Essential!
Still works fine, but likely will not survive long term with the case being open.
I am looking for a replacement in the same form factor/size with a same sized-or larger screen.
I would have kept this phone for a much longer time, if not for this issue.
Fixes?

Up to you, but you can get a screen with the glue and battery for about $30. The tear down is pretty simple once you watch a video. The glue will be enough for the screen and back. I just did my wife's, hers was well used. and after, it's like brand new. Just a thought.
Edit: I forgot to mention. If you take this route. some clothes pins with some paper towels help keep the screen and back, nice and tight while the glue cures.
Oddly, my screen is adhered perfectly...just the back section is coming apart.
Perhaps it's time to search out a "same form factor/slightly larger" phone with the better or the same basic specs?

Happened to me when it launched. It's more than likely just the adhesive. There's nothing behind the back cover. You might want to get new adhesive and work on peeling the rest off and re-attaching it. Battery is behind the screen and if it were swelling, the screen would begin lifting too.
Just be careful removing the back, if you choose to. It's ceramic, so it's hard but usually hard also means brittle. The screen is also held on by adhesive, so using heat could weaken it under the screen too, depending where you apply the heat.
Also, Essential went out of business in February. No one there's gonna read your emails.
Any idea what the adhesive is??

No, sorry. When it happened to me, I warrantied it. Wish I could help more. Try looking at some teardowns. But the iFixit teardown was done completely wrong - Essential addressed that in a Reddit AMA shortly after launch. iFixit tried to freeze it to remove the screen and gave a bad rating as a result when you remove the screen with heat. The Essential is put together very similarly to a PIxel, actually. But, it is what it is.
One of the teardown guides/videos might show or mention the adhesive used.
I used black b7000
So, it appears in addition to the back coming off, the battery is swollen as well. I am bummed. I actually LIKED this phone.
Will have to get another cell phone to replace it, but what is the about the same size with a bigger or same sized screen?

It's not bad to replace the battery. It's cheaper than a new phone anyway
