Hello people I need the experience/knowledge of a comunications/respective engineer (because I haven't started my comunications course yet.... Will be in about 1 week ) .... As I can see the phone ne signal contacts are on the sim/mmc cover... So basicaly for most of the people the contacts must have worn out of like this (yhe black line you can see on the contacts plastic has been exposed )

So basicaly my question is that can I apply some solder in that area to make allow the pins to make proper contact... without this modification making my chances of exposure to rf radiation increase by hell of a lot increasing health risk (also without deteorating quality of reception further) and possibly could I increase the side of this antenna by attaching small copper strips on both the copper contact thank you.. If I get a green signal from anyone.. I will mod my antenna and make a how to

i think you wont do it any better, because this surface is already optimised for power of transmitting, so actually any wires could make even worse signal...
you could try maybe soft scratching of your pins with keys or coin.
p.s.: i have the same "worn out" pins, but you should know that my sim cover was removed maybe three times since i bought it...

So then can i tinker without any radiation problems? I know that rf can max to heat my skin..but any other effects?

Yeah, don't worry about it. You'll be fine. Just turn off your device prior

Hi guys,
I'm having this problem and I would like to know if it's happening to someone else. There are certain parts of the battery cover that will click and crack when pressed. They're basically the phone's "temples" (the top part of the phone's sides) and the area around the headphone jack, as shown on this pic:

It's pretty irritating, since that's basically the area I use to grab the phone and get it out of its case. Do you get it too?
I don't have this problem. But I expect people will get the same problem if they open the battery cover too many times. You can try calling HTC to see if you can buy a battery cover from them.
mine does it. Didn't at first, now it does. No big deal.
Thanks for your replies guys, glad to know that at least one more person has this problem too
Rvinny, have you ever dropped your phone? I have, and fear both things might be related.
I've dropped it like four times now and mine doesn't creak. I am probably the pickiest person in the world too, but I have to say... the build quality on this phone is pretty solid... its just too bad they used the worst speakers ive ever heard in a mobile phone before. Bet the speakers on the desire will be good though ... bastards...
mine clicks in the same spots.
i've been thinking about getting a replacement battery cover.
easy fix - put a miniscule amount of electrical tape right under each of the corner tabs on the battery cover to use as a padding/buffer. result - solid feeling phone, no more flex.

It has some dust, but you get the point.
Looks nice, right?
LOL, that is PRECISELY what I suggested to someone who had the same question some time back.
BTW, it's a bit surprising to me the silver ring around your camera is perfectly intact. Mine started scratching and peeling off from one point just weeks after purchase (Where the ring rests on the surface where it is placed). (It is in a cover now 24x7, so, it no longer happens. Also the reason why the back letters are intact)

Well, I've had this Wildfire for a little more than 1 year, no guards/covers/cases/pouches what so ever since day 1 and it has absolutely no scratches on the screen/body (that line seen on the picture on the back "metal" isn't a scratch). Only the letters... The "T" came off today and I just removed the others, now it's unique, and good looking.

My adonit jot stylus works wonderfully for me. I can make very detail hand written notes. Here is a sample.

I have a friend who's got a TF and he's interested in the stylus. I let him borrow mine and for some damn reason half of the screen at random places won't respond. At first, we thought it was his screen, so I let him use my TF. Same thing. So, I used the stylus with his TF and it works wonderfully.
I know the capacitive touchscreen responds to a person's electrostatic charge. Does this mean this guy's electrostatic charge is weak?
Very interesting thread it has been proposed that different people have a different charge or a greater or lesser capacity for storing or discharging that energy. There is even a video on youtube of a Buddhist monk who can channel hes electro static capacity to such an extend he can cook a fish with a metal bar and hes two hands connected at each end :O
I think its very possible that your friend could have a weak charge. You could try measure the electro static charge you both have i think they did it on myth busters or something one time when i was watching discovery channel and found one person had more electro static potential then the other.
That is... really interesting. Could be a conductivity thing, maybe your skin is more moist and conducts better than your friend?
i think the show was Stan Lee's Super Humans. Some guy in India could conduct electricity through his body without getting zapped. He found out when he tried to kill himself and it didn't work, lol.
I found that a carrot stick works well a stylus.
I suggest you to replace your freind with another one who has better elctrostatic field energy man..

But this guy is so hot and a fellow geek... hard to find them in such a package... lol
Tell him to eat more fiber and drink more water. That will help flush the toxins out of his body allowing his energy to flow more naturally.
He has to keep his palm off the screen while writing with the pen

I recently replaced my digitizer and my screen is now dodgy ( i can sype but clicking on just about anything doesn't work...) Incidently I ripped a flex cable (i think thats what it is) but im not sure if it is related...
Here is a picture displaying where I ripped my ribon (along the red line):

Would this cause abnormal touchscreen behavior, or did I also ruin my LCD???
Thanks in advance!
You ripped it and things are acting weird? Well there's your problem.

yep - get another part and do it again - DON'T rip it this time
This part is NOT connected to the one I replaced, I am aware of the silly implications, no **** it aint workin son
my question is more if anyone know what this ribbon is specifically for.
thank you
it is broke so better to replace it that ribbon looks to be the one for fingerprint scanner, ear speaker and camera.my earpeice does not work at all and i have dead spots in my digitizer.it would be nice if just replacing that flex would fix it lol.
Well thats what it Should be for, but power, earpeace and camera all work.... I think I may order it and see, pray it is not the LCD that is damaged as the cellphone repair guy suggested it probably is.
I don't know specifically what that triangle is for. Depending on where it's ripped, it could just be a portion of the adhesive. To me this sounds like a digitizer problem and NOT the lcd. I'm under the assumption that if the screen displays clearly, then the lcd has done its portion of the job correctly. So either that rip messed the touch screen up or you could have just done a poor install of the digitizer.
Like he said its nothing with the LCD but with the digitizer.try that new cable and if that doesn't fix it replace the digitizer.

I've noticed 8 white or translucent squares on the top and bottom on both the back and the front of the chamfered edge of the Note 4?
Does anybody know what these are, I'm very curious!

Hi,
They are gaps in the aluminium for the antenna to get a signal through.
I hope this answers your question
Sam
Thanks for that, I just realised now that we are not supposed to ask questions here in this forum.
I thought general meant 'anything' but clearly not.

Nope. Here's where the antennas are located. There's plenty of signal access through the front and back of the phone; and those puny dimples wouldn't really help. What you described is typically used on metal-backed phones (EG: iP6, HTC One M7) and are a lot bigger.
I'm wondering what they're for too. If I had to guess I'd say to allow for expansion/contraction from temperature or to allow some flex either for real-world bending or to facilitate production and assembly.
Ha. I didn't even notice till you pointed this out. I think it looks kinda neat myself.
Maybe it's something to do with the VR capabilities.. maybe?
Also if you look right up close on the black part of frame there are slightly raised bumps in line with the white dots, curious, aesthetics or something else?

that is to cover that the cut goes all through! some sort of sticker which is then also coated...
reason for these cuts could be either manufacturing or radio performance!
I'm also thinking it might simply be structural.
