[Q] Cracked Digitizer =[ - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
I cracked my Nexus 4 tonight =/ Interestingly, a few weeks ago, it fell 9 feet on hard floor and didn't break. Last night it falls 3 feet from my night stand and it is cooked -__-
Completely unresponsive to touch. Can't even put the thing in Silent/Vibrate LOL
I haven't been able to reach out to LG because of the time, but from collective experience, what's the most economical way to get this fixed?

Fix it yourself ?
You can buy replacement parts

Put it in the blender. :good:

You're probably right, I'm just afraid if I buy the parts, the new one will be some crappy quality one. I opened a claim with LG... Let's see what they say.

If lg don't fix it , you can buy legitimate OEM parts from a site online

Nexus⁴

don't remember the figure off hand, but someone said the repair cost was very reasonable directly through lg. search for the other busted screen threads here..

There are quite a frew threads on this - it happened to me before oem parts were easily available and it was just as expensive if not more to buy it and do it yourself. LG does it for $140.

Dumb Flip Phone repurposed as a Cheap Bluetooth Handset

If I wanted to try and repurpose a flippy phone to slave to a smart phone, and be able to pick up and end calls, would there be a particular model or OSS base I'd have the best luck with? Like having a smartphone, but my parents don't, and I want to find something bulletproof. If it could it somehow dial out as well, I'd be set, but one thing at a time I guess.

This would be cool to have. I'm sure there are a number of Nokia or Motorola phones out there that would work with Android if you're skilled enough as a hacker.
Gonna dust this off. What other ways could one go about having a flip phone pair to take calls from your smartphone, outside of fabrication wholesale? I dunno any cheaply disposable phones that can be reprogrammed, and maybe the Raspberry Pi could work, but it seems like a waste to throw that much hardware at a device that can stick in your ear. Anypony?

This is an awesome idea, though I am not sure how you'd do it.
The best I could find was this:

Which I actually found for sale here, but I have no idea how reputable that site is...

Anyone know of anything better?
I have bought some basic stuff (no phones ) from at dinodirect.com and it was ok for was it was (cheep).

Okay, Nice to know that there is a commercial option, but is there anywhere I can get bluetooth headsets and clamshell cases in bulk? I know a decent amount a solder-fu, and a friend with a CNC, so I might be able to get some sort of kickstarter going maybe perhaps?

Works as described
...and still on this thread, I have been looking for a Bluetooth Flip Dialer for ages. Lots of mini ones now, I dont want the worlds smallest bloody thing. I just want a normal size Flip phone handset to bluetooth to my smart phone.

Manufacturing defects on the first batches ??

After talking to many people , most of them have asked not to buy the first ones as they might have defects , am wanting response from the people who have bought it already , like last year one s suffered housing colour coming off , one x had WiFi problem, I don't want if there are any problems in the one ! I am selling my two HTC one s for this incredible one . Thank you for responses !

Just buy it in April, you should be fine. And if you are not satisfied you can return it and buy another one anyway.
Mine is fine. No problems with it.

Mine is ok too but there where/are some with gaps around the edges of the phone where the aluminium bonds with the plastic.

Definitely remember seeing a picture of a guys phone where it had a gap in the bonding process on the left hand side of the phone and anyway by the time they ship all the little issues should be ironed out.
Buy in April if you are worried about defects.
Defects are most likely to be found in first batch, no matter which smartphone you go for this includes Samsung and iPhones this is certainly my experience anyway.
Like someone said earlier if its defective simply get replacement.
I got mine on the 18th March and I can't fault it.
We had a thread where the advice was to worry about the later batches because the shortage would make them rush the manufacturing thus causing many defects in the construction. There also have been many concerns about the first batch citing poor build quality.
I haven't actually seen one in person yet but I've watched all the videos and read all the reviews. This phone is praised as being the best built mobile phone ever made. The design and construction, the machining of the aluminum body for example, are on a level I've never seen in a consumer product like this. The general impression of reviewers when they first get their hands on it is awe at how incredible it is.
Accept perfection for what it is, almost perfect.
Just my take on all the fretting...

This won't affect later batches as the shortage is due to the lack of camera components.
If you want to build 10 phones yet you only have 5 cameras to include on the phones why would you rush building all 10 then? Shouldn't you be focusing on the manufacturing instead while still waiting for the other 5 so the processing would still be in sync? Unless of course you wanna see your employees slacking/nothing to do because you rushed up finishing the 5 phones yet the other 5 cannot be made yet due to lacking of parts.

4 exchanges in 1 day... all dead pixels, 1 dust under screen

I'm just gonna deal with it now. I guess I'm not gonna get a perfect one.
I would keep at it if I were you, I got a good one on my first try.
Lol, where do you find all these funky tablets? I haven't "really" closely examined my screen, but no issues. . It did irk me when my D2 started getting lots of dust under one corner of the screen, so I wouldn't go for a tab that had that prob new either.

With the ****ty QC on Asus' part. Yeah. you can.
Isn't the display bonded to the glass now? I know I've had dust get under the screen of other phones/tablets in the past but that shouldn't be an issue with the new N7 unless it was there at the factory.
first post here...

got my 1st this morning, turned it on RIGHT away saw red pixel...
god damn i thought... here we go... went back to gamespot (Great customer support @ bellevue sq mall) and they exchanged it...
I used the second one all day but i just ran a dead pixel test and what do you know, I found a second one on this one too...
I think I'm going to wait until google gets their **** together, I am sick of wasting my time driving back and forth between stores and feeling like an ass infront of these people returning this device showing them the dead pixel...

I've gone through 3 nexus 7 tablets. best buy refunded me, so that's good. went to gamestop since none were at best buy. 2 defected ones (dead pixel...black dot in screen). so now i am waiting on the second batch of units from gamestop before exchanging again
so reading that you exchanged 4 times gives me hope! lol

Asus has terrible quality control.
I bought an expensive motherboard that they say is tested to be sure 100% working, and they even offer a 5 year warranty on. When I got it, one of the PCI ports was dead.
Sure is tested 100%
Got mine this AM at Best Buy. Told the guy at the pickup counter I wanted to take it out and turn it on first and why. He didn't mind. Mine's puuuurrrfect!
I just got back from exchanging my first 16gb. Had a big dust chunk under the glass up in the top left corner.
Felt silly explaining that I couldn't unsee it, and I really just didn't want it to get worse since it was obviously sealed badly. Best Buy swapped it out for me no problem, but did investigate before doing the exchange.
I also complained about the crackly speakers, but it looks like my new unit has pretty much the same symptom. I guess the audio engineer who posted here was right about the amp just dropping bits to control volume instead of actually applying analog gain. :/ Maybe there will be a software fix down the line. (My NS4G had an app with a ton of tweaks to the chip including changing audio pathways etc...)
Turns out my new unit has a hot pixel. It's just one though... I'll probably do a warranty exchange with Asus in a month after some new batches have been made. I don't want to keep gambling right now.
she ajuchst
I went to game stop at bellevue sq in WA for the second time.. great customer support once again
manager did come out and investigate... but I told him about all the issues it's been having and he understood...
it's not about telling them that once you see you can't unsee, etc... it's about telling them you are not settling for a defective unit
asus needs to figure it out...
edit: lol put catpcha in title by accident

Anyone else collect Nexus devices?

Maybe Im the only idiot who keeps all their phones but I just think it will be cool to have them all somewhere down the line.

Ive been using all of these since new, kept them mint, and then threw them back in the box when I got the next one. The one Im missing is the Galaxy Nexus S. I dont consider it missing because that was the worst one of all and I skipped getting it when it came out.

Makes zero sense to keep a phone when you could be getting hundreds of dollars for it if you sell it before it becomes an antique.

People like to have collections, its their money and they can do whatever they want with it. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it.
I personally have Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5 (Sold it though), Nexus 6. Nexus One, I skipped on it because I didn't have a developer account (honestly I could have gotten one) but I was happy with my T-Mobile G1.
I don't think it is pissing away money. i also still have my original iphone, 3g, 3gs, 4 and 4s. I like collections of electronics. people collect different things. Plus they don't take up as much room as other things you can collect. they all sit in one drawer in my office. Most of the I bought at a discounted price.
I use them all the time upgrading and jailbreaking. loading roms. and the such. reading about hacks and doing it on one phone to see the affect. I use them for test devices for hacks and new apps i get from xda. then if I like it. I move it to my main phone.
i do, and wait patiently to buy N6

Definitely this. This will look as dumb as collecting Nokia bricks in a decade, haha. May as well sell it and get some cash. That's more than one full priced phone right there. It is your money though.
I just collect the boxes. ? I have the original packaging from every phone I've ever had, except my HTC one xl. I was keen to get rid of that, and every possible trace that I ever owned it. ?
I have owned all but the nexus one and nexus 4. Well technically I put my Sim in before I sold it . I don't have any of them although I wish I did lol
I have a Nexus One, Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Xoom which was essentially the first Nexus tablet.
The only one out of the bunch which I would consider selling is the Galaxy Nexus. Asking prices for the Galaxy Nexus are around $100 - $200 so I might try to sell it for whatever I can get. The other two pioneered their individual categories and hold a special place for me and won't be getting sold for a while.

Got them all except for the first nexus 7 and nexus 10. I will probably buy them later on. Will post a pic later.
I've personally owned and used them all as normal devices except for the nexus one and nexus s.. Just bought them for the collection.
I've had all the Nexus phones except for the One. I only wish I could have kept them all!
As far as tablets I've had the first and second Nexus 7.
the only phone I wish I still had was my G1, sold it to a friend when I needed money and his daughter broke it

Lg G6 Rear Camera Lens Cracked.

Heeey guys so I wanted to see if anyone knows if they are selling the rear camera glass for the G6 yet? I dropped it ine and it shattered. I've looked everywhere online and no one seems to have it. Really not trying to pay $150 through insurance just for something that small.

Depending on what carrier you have you may be able to take it in and just get it repaired instead of paying a deductible. It'll be tough to find with the phone being so new.

No one "sat on the phone"......it was in my left front pocket without pressure being applied to it. I've traveled weekly for the last 10 years with other phone brands....never had this problem. Here's another idea, ship a $700 phone with proper engineering.

FYI - I've had my G6 for 13 days, I went to T-Mobile today and they said it was out of warranty? They also said they couldn't return it because it was damaged. I'm trying to find a replacement for the protective cover that goes over both cameras and the flash. I successfully removed the cracked one after heating it up with a blow dryer, not hard at all but I put it back on until I can find the replacement part - If anyone knows where to get the lens cover please post.

I will keep looking and let the forum know when I find one, since it's a new phone it may take a little while for replacement parts to start appearing. I'm not sure about the glass repair epoxy, since the replacement part shouldn't be more than $15 might be better to just wait. It's up to I guess -
Yeaaa if you find anything please let us know it sucks so bad having a brand new phone break like that
Sane here
I had the phone in my pocket... In a case with a screen protector and somehow managed to shatter the camera lens... Thinking about peeling it off and covering it with one of the clear skins that go over the screen. But cutting it to fit.. I'm worried about the broken glass getting in the camera.. This would be a temporary fix until the replacement partsare available.
Any news on locating a lens replacement?
Thanks.
Has ANYONE truly contacted LG about this? If this happens to me I'll make a nasty remark on every lg page possible. Twitter Facebook, wherever I'll be sure it's hard for them to ignore the fact. Fingers crossed that never happens to me.
It will come time to contact LG
Upon seeing so many cracked lenses, this seems to be more than an isolated issue. There seems to have been some very defective shipments lens covers that went out and LG needs to address these posts. I would suggest creating a petition or something of the sort to send over to LG after being signed off by multiple people experiencing this problem as well as concerned customers. I they do not take the issue seriously then it will be time to write to every media and news outlet possible to spread awareness on this issue until LG concedes and helps locate and fix this issue

I can't get an accurate representation of what percentage of the community is experiencing this issue as there are no accurate ways to poll every LG G6 owner and many of them do not have reddits or xda accounts so the polls would be inaugurate. From what i have seen though quite a few people ARE having issues and they say that they weren't being negligent and with so many saying the same, it would be beneficial to see why these issues are occurring. I will poll eventually if this issue continues to arise within these communities and if it gets to the point of being severe then i believe LG needs to be held accountable. Personally, i have a case and don't sling my phone around like a wet t-shirt thus mine hasn't broken but for those who have broken phones, this will be very good for them.

I can guarantee you LG isn't worried about news outlets picking up a story about a camera lens breaking. LG is much more worried about the profitable sectors of their business, including Home Appliance and Home Entertainment. The Mobile Communications sector was a top loser of money in the last 2 years.
Well, Googling leads back to this thread, a whole 16 or so posts... And a reddit post with a few people, possibly the same people posting here... Doesn't sound like an epidemic, at least not yet.
If it's a design flaw I would agree. Seems at best to be a Q/C issue or user error at this point.
Time will tell but hopefully this doesn't become a large, repeatable issue.

I successfully removed the cracked one after heating it up with a blow dryer, not hard at all but I put it back on until I can find the replacement part - If anyone knows where to get the lens cover please post.
Much Thanks - tat

I think I'll do the same, blow up the LG Twitter page.
Contacted LG
So I called and talked to LG about this since my lens also cracked and nicely said how there is an increasing number of people that are having this same issue. The phone will be going back to them around Wed. I will see if they actually will do anything about it.
Just frustrating since I didn't drop the phone or have it pressed against anything. Funny that if it is physical damage how it is only the camera lens cover that is shattering.
