Original FCC site does not appear to work anymore. So I am uploading these here.

Ooh intermeresting. Anything special/hidden surprises?
Edit: if those are the antenna locations what's the circle rubbery looking thing under the stand?

I believe it was found to be the screw that holds the back case on, according to a HTC tech

I have attached for everyone interested, here are the Component replacement and schematics for our phone.
On that note, I keep seeing in the component replacement that there is a coaxial connector, is that for a wifi antenna? I have a few old wifi antennas from old laptops that have the same connector as that... if one of these connectors works with those coaxial and it is for a wifi then I would like to try it.
Can anyone tell me if this is a coaxial for wifi? Thanks... not meant to be a question thread, but it sort of turned into it.... this is still more of a "
here you go" kind of thread
Due to size limitations on XDA I have posted them below

In regards to the coaxial plug in the component pdf, this is what I am referring to with my little question about that coaxial plug being a wifi plug...

you're not going to be able to install another wireless card into a phone using the connectors...

I took mine apart and the coaxial connectors are too small. I ran a wire underneath the wifi sticker and connected a stripped end to the underside of the wifi antenna and ran it down about half way along the side of my phone inside. I can now get about 50 further away from my home wifi then before

See http://www.google.com/nexus/#/7 this?
Notice how the sticker on the bottom back is on? Was that supposed to be on? Because I removed it, and it came off really easily.
Nothing major, just curious.

Mine is still there, just too lazy to remove
No one can force you to have it there for eternity.
I guess it's important to have the CE label etc on the device when shipping to inform the user...

Its probably there as a requirement for shipping. On your phone you will see those standards,most likely under the battery cover, but you can't access that on the nexus 7 so instead of ruining the aesthetic having them permanently printed, its nicer to just have a sticker.
Mine is gone gone gone too..
Just like the tags on the back of my tops.. and Top of my skirts that tend to stick out..
As well as the tags on my mattress we bought not so long ago.. Its a ffc requirement by manufacture to put them there. If it were to be non removable it would have been like the STUPID ASUS LOGO ..
NOW MY Question is can someone get that off and PUT A Real pc manufacturer name there . Asus used to be the best out there . I really thought google would have enough control over the nexus to make it better then standard asus devices. Now they are no doubt a last ranking provider .. what a shame...
Mine either never had one or came off accidentally when I was unwrapping it.

Dont take it off, its supposed to leave residue, otherwise you cant claim warranty :-o
Take it off! Then go rip the tags off your mattresses.....live a little!

I removed it and placed it on the box just in case it will be needed in the future.
I'm just curious, has anyone ever gotten their Nexus letters at the back removed, as in the shiny black vinyl that covers them? The letters N, E and X were completely peeled off in my case in a matter of weeks when I was holding it, along with the adhesive.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Nope, but I've had a case on it since day 1...:thumbup:
Odd. Hasn't happened to me. (Happened to every BlackBerry Curve 8520 I had, though. Damn, that phone sucked.)
Wonder if it's affected by how you hold it. Definitely return it anyway.
Wait, I didn't even know that could happen, I though they were like part of the plastic.
You got a picture of it?
Do you have a wireless charger?
I have one and I have noticed that after charging it is kind of warm on the back and I have to wipe some kind of stain around some off the letters. Now that you mention your letters falling off it gets me
thinking that the glue could be melting away or something.
My N7 is only 7 weeks old and I'm using a Fatboy pillow for charging.

I had this same problem just a few days ago I noticed like a sticky residue seeping from the letters on the back and part of the letter lifting. I just removed all the sticker and cleaned away the sticky residue 'see attached pic' I actually prefer it without glued on sticky letters. Looks good I think.

Wireless charging here and my letters are falling off now also.

I use the wireless charging feature as well - no issues, and it spends all night - every night - on the charger.
I didn't know that there was plastic in the letters to make it shiny. When mine finally fall out on their own, I think I'll get some model paint and paint the letters in white. Or maybe bright red. Just to be different.
Really? They fall? lol, I though they were pretty much part of the case :b

Wow I didn't even know this was possible. Makes me not want to use wireless charging if it's going to destroy the design of my device.

Been using wireless charging from the day I got it and the letters are still firmly on there. Touchscreen though, now thats another issue.

Yup, it looks like this. I was thinking about removing the rest so it looks uniform again the hollow letters do look nice, though. I don't own a wireless charger so I don't think that's the issue.

Now that you mention it and I saw the picture, you're right, the hollow letters doesn't look bad.

No wireless charging here either it's just glued on stickers that are losing stick over time as they heat and cool.
I'ts just like black tape.
Sure it looked cool glossy but doesnt bother me, I just picked out my letters with my nail and cleaned it up.
I like the 'indented' look nexus on the back.
What assembly dates do you have on yours? Perhaps they just changed to a less strong glue or even applied less glue due to the first batches problem of stains/glue residue.
Just wondering how difficult it will be to replace a battery in the future of my G2? If it requires soldering or is to difficult to replace at home does LG offer any kind of service for this?
Sent from my LG-D803 using Tapatalk
It is under multiple layers of stuff and heavily glued down.. LG would not offer it but maybe some other service would if the G2 is popular enough to be supported.
I saw in another thread a guy who said he removed it by just squeezing his nail and pulling it out. I can't remember what post, but it was about using steel wool grade 0000 to remove the glossy back. Try using that on the search.
Sent from my LG-G2 using xda app-developers app
Yeah but he meant the cover. The battery is way harder to remove.
When the guy showed the phone without the case, the battery was right there...
Ill try to find the pics again to try and see if theres anything blocking it...
EDIT: Found it..

Doesnt look that complicated to exchange it, tho...
What you see in the photo is just the top 'step' of the battery. LG's new battery design flares out under the plastic.

Wow I wish it was easier then that. Hopefully something LG does makes a battery service possible. I hate to think that my phone will become a paperweight do to a dead battery in 5 years. I'd like to keep this phone as a digital music player.

Screen went all wonky and virtually unusable. Rebooted it a few times and it never got better. I was going to factory reset it but this is what the factory recovery looks like which makes me think it is hardware related. Its been in an otterbox defender since purchase and I haven't had time to do anything that would brick it. I had installed nova launcher, widget locker, and my regular loadout of apps but nothing too fancy yet.
Just pulled it out of pocket and saw static. I guess its going back to Verizon tomorrow.
