I've accidentaly broke the volume ribbon when I changed my lcd, so I replaced it with a working used one.
Only problem is, that the orange plastic with the black doth in it came off, and now the vol down button doesn't make the "popping" sound when I press it, and it doesn't work.
Vol up is fine.
Can I fix it, without buying a new ribbon?

yes if you still can find the plastic piece that fell off glue it back on.
maybe use a silcone type glue

I've already glued it back, but my main concern is, that it does not click, like the other one. :S

Possibly the contact, which is used to detect if the keyboard is open, might not be working.
Mikechannon is the hardware guy on the hermes and im sure he will come across this post at some point
ok thanks but the thing is that i didnt replace to i guess the guy who did it is goin to have to fix it
Hi
I don't have one opened up in front of me but yes Mrvanx has it I think. One of the multi connectors is either un-plugged or not pushed in fully. There is one that is quite liable to "pinging" off unless it's firmly pressed home. No guarantees but I'd be fairly confident that that's all it is. The guy should have checked it after the repair!

This is the likely culprit. It's easy to forget to press it home as it curls itself round on its mylar cable and rests on the connection (ie looks connected but may not be pressed into the connection). Good news is that it's not a major dismantling job. All it needs is the back off to reveal it.

My phone got wet, so I stripped it down and dried it out. Put it all back together and it's been working fine apart from the keyboard now does nothing when I slide it out - screen doesn't go into landscape and the keys don't do anything.
Does anyone understand how the keyboard slide talks to the phone, ie how can I troubleshoot the problem?
Thanks

Sounds like the keyboard connector is loose. And of course the sliding mechanism magnet switch is connected through the keyboard multicable. So the two things are related.
The Source of your problem I think:

Just inside the back casing, so no major dismantling needed.

This happens if there is even a very momentary loss of power. Before assuming anything too complex, I would check to make sure the battery is absolutely firm against its contacts. You can insert a strip of card between the casing and the battery. See here:

}
If the problem remains, then I would suspect one of the internal flex cables.

thx for fast answer mike
testing now ^_^
i second that
I had the same issue with an extended battery. I used some duct tape to make a tighter fit and havent had any problems since then. I guess a strip of card is a better idea, but duct tape seems to work (plus its more manly ).
Hi guys,
For a long time I'm wondering is there's a plastic layer on the camera when you buy it. I notice something that could go for a plastic ring-formed layer around the camera lens, that holds a little dust at the rounded edges with time, but cant be pulled off? I tried all differend kind of things, but it won't come off... Still, I asked everyone of my family to see if they agree they see a plastic ring too, and they all said yes..
Have you noticed anything like this on your S4 camera?

Yes, there is a plastic guard on camera.
In my case, it popped out a bit from corner some months ago, which I later pulled off.
I cant seem to pull it..
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
there is a plastic layer over it
remember I tried to pull it off also and had some trouble since it seem not to remove
try with a sharp razor (at least that way I managed to remove it)
I have dirt under my LED. I opened the phone and I can't reach it, it's between the glass and some semi-translucent plastic. Any chances on cleaning it without having to detach the whole screen? I don't want to screw things up.
This is the place where the dirt is, after removing the glass.

I recall such a thread being around a few months back. The person was completely obsessed about it =). I honestly doubt you can remove it without detaching the screen completely. You should be careful with the digitizer as it is very fragile....
The other person replaced his G2 completely. Since replacing the entire front panel isn't quite cheap I think there's no other option than to disassemble it.
Ya. Well, I thought maybe that black square can be removed (temporarily) from the case, since it is of a different colour. Maybe someone who is familiar with disassembling this phone can tell us more.

Yeah, better wait for an educated response. My biggest fear in this case, however, is that the black square won't adhere properly afterwards and then you'd keep getting lint under the LED.
