So this weekend I replaced the back cover of my Nexus 4 since it was broken, since replacing it i've noticed that my wifi signal has been extremely weak. I noticed that the replacement back cover did not have this black film/tape on it. Could this be whats effecting it or could it be something else?
Ok it was definitely the back glass replacement, I put the old cover back on and now my wifi issues are no longer. I guess its safe to assume the issue was the missing metallic on the inside of the new cover. Mods can close this if they would like.
Why close the thread? The info could be useful for other people. Are you able to take the required bits from the old cover to the new one or did you get a defective cover?

Your right I didn't think about that, i'm sorry. As far as the required bits, I don't think they can be removed and put on the other cover. I contacted the seller and told them i'd like to return due to the fact it was missing the bits. I've found another and will let everyone know how it works. Also in a little bit i'll post some pictures of what i'm talking about.
Ok so here's a picture of what i'm talking about, sorry about having to use ms paint but this is what i'm talking about. I've lableled the back covers accordingly

Looking at that one specifically. My tilt has a bunch of chip/scratch marks on the shell. It is also crooked when the slider isn't open (the face goes down more than it should, not sure why). I want to sell the phone to get a new HTC, so I'm planning on buying the kit and pretty much making it seem as new as possible. Good idea?

They do not give enough info from the site to know if this is complete (battery cover, backing, front face, new key board, and new call/end key pad). I bought a screen from them and they customer support SUCKS!! The screen had a red dot and they basically told me to F-off. So I would stay away from that site. I did find a complete housing form e-bay for the same price, got it and now my tilt looks brand new. Look up "AT&T tilit full housing" on eBay. That way you see exactly what you are getting:
Remeber some are just front and back covers, others are the entire setup.
This is just the front and back cover

If it is still under warranty I would restore to stock and ask for a replacement.

I assume you've tried to press it back in place? Mine did that, and all it needed was to be snapped back.
I have seen some nooks that suffered heat damage similiar to this. The cover may, as was posted, snap back into place. As replacement is not an option for you, you might look at the ifixit app. There is a teardown of the nook showing the correct way to remove the rear cover and reinstall. This might work for you. Just sayin......

My Mytouch4g slipped out of my pocket as I was getting in the car last night and landed on concrete. Although there is no physical damage to the exterior of the phone, the screen now looks like this. If anyone has had this happen to them, is it fixable and if so what part do I need to fix it.

Look up Iphonerepair and mytouch4g in google.
I would give you the link, but being a new member I'm not allowed yet =D
Looked around a little bit and they look like the cheapest place out there; some guys at work have also used them, so I don't think they're going to sit there and try to rip you off (IE try to not send back phone etc etc)
Sorry couldn't be more help.
you need a new LCD bro. Have fun fixing that, just look it up on google, I m sure that there are plenty of videos on it

It's actually not as hard as it seems. First step is to buy the replacement. The second is to follow the videos online.
I just replaced a cracked glass on mine (the LCD was ok though). The tough part for you will be removing the unbroken glass and then putting it back on. Be careful not to heat the glass up too much and break your touch screen connector.
Another quick secret is that you can use a credit card to pop open your phone instead of those safe opener things people sell.
Good luck!
If your LCD is fine then replacing digitizer isn't really that difficult. I followed a guide I found on youtube and did it in about 15 minutes. No need for a special pliers like the other member mentioned, but you do need some precision screw drivers of different sizes.
Hey guys,
I've had my One repaired 5 times. This last time it was deemed warranty void because it had a little scratch on the front camera lens. I yelled enough to be heard at HTC and the authorized a full repair ( new grills, lcd, rear panel, speakers, front and rear camera) I was pleased. I picked it up today and found it would not power up, stupidly i listened to the Bell store rep who figured it was dead. So i plugged it into the charger and found it to be at 50%, the power button would not actually move, like it was bonded to the phone. I started to look closer and found that my rear camera was off center significantly. I like most of you have looked at a lot of tear down videos, and I know that there is next to no wiggle room in there. I can only assume that the asshat at FutureTel that "fixed" it didn't align everything in place before he forced the back cover on.
I'm taking it back tomorrow morning to send it out again, why they won't just give me a new one is well beyond me...

If you're annoyed at HTC for not having great customer service, there's no point telling us and not them considering they're the ones who can improve.
Thread Closed as threads such as this always seem to turn into arguments instead of the posters intentions.
I dropped my phone and destroyed the screen a few weeks ago. Fortunately I was insured, they agreed to fix it and I got it back inside 10 days or so. Problem, the damn screen was loose at the top corner - you could fit a fingernail in easy. So, more than a bit annoyed I called them up and they apologised, said they'll pay for the postage and they'd sort it out.
Sent it back and they just returned it with the same damn problem! I can lift half the screen out of the case if I pry my fingernail under the (already loose) top edge - see attached photo. You can push it back in place, everything works fine but it works loose if worn in a pocket like normal.
Clearly their engineers are incompetent and I don't know if I can be bothered to return it AGAIN to find most likely the same problem repeated. Looking at the inside it seems that it's just a bad glue job - I can see sticky stuff that's meant to be holding it in place. :silly:
My question is - could I just reglue the screen in there? Does anyone know what kind of glue to use?
If it's covered by insurance get them to fix the problem at their expense as if you glue it yourself you would render insurance invalid if any other problem happened they wouldn't fix it as it would be voided because you glued it yourself
*Sigh* - yeah like I said - send it back a 3RD TIME? I really think they have trained chimps doing the repair work.
