So I ordered a replacement screen finally, as i have been with a cracked screen for awhile now. New screen came in and i begin to disassemble my phone, and remove the old screen no problem. I get to install the new one, and fit it in, its a little tight and I put a slight amount of pressure and the new one cracks in the corner. I was pretty pissed. So I then noticed that there is no gap at all between the digitizer and the hole for the optical joystick.
It was a screen from Chuanbo Zhang on amazon, which has plenty of reviews.

Did i just get a badly made screen? or is this normal for most screens or is there some version of the Droid Inc that has no gap between those parts?
Should I still try and repair this phone after ive had it for so long? Or is it time to retire and go for something new.

Hey everyone,
I've ordered a defy screen digitizer, 2mm adhesive strip and a torx screwdriver set from Amazon, and they should be delivered this thursday.
Does anyone know of a GOOD quality guide (video or pictures please) for dismantling then re-assembling a Motorola Defy?
Preferably one for replacing the screen too..
I really don't want to mess this up
Thank you all so much, you've been a great help for the life of my device
For anyone interested, I've thrown my phone down a street and it was fine, then the moment I fall over at a house party - SMASH... Screen wrecked Not the LCD, just the gorilla glass
Sorted it, I just sort of guessed I apologise for the terrible quality webcam.

My TF810c was send for repair yesterday, but I was already told in the shop that one issue is my fault and it will not be fixed.
Considering how much TF810 cots in Poland I will not let go (especially that I know it is devices fault not my inattention.
So...
1. Seal on the hinge (the one between hinge and docking station is all ripped and pushed down by edge of docking station. Not nice as there is glue left inside and on the edge of keyboard.
More and more dirt get in.

2. Frame of the screen just broke (above place where all materials plastic and aluminium meet). It is not chipped (as after hitting something), just split.

Any one with similar issues?

What do you think these marks on the screen are? I thought they where just smudges under the screen protector but after pulling it up and trying to clean them off, they are still there. The screen is fine, nothing crazy going on there. This screen is a third party screen though. Maybe it's the glass separating from the digitizer? I've had the phone for over two years now so it might be time for a replacement.
In between the Lcd and the digitizer (touch screen) is a clear adhesive called LOCA (liquid optically clear adhesive) and under stress (heat, water, preasure) it starts to break down and create bubbles. Don't try to fix it. It will only get worse until you replace the screen entirely.
Dang, that's unfortunate to hear. I was hoping it would have been a easy fix. I've replaced the screen twice and don't think I am really up to replace it again. Seems this phone will go away soon after the summer then.
Haven't seen it used anywhere before so thought I would post it up. Couldn't justify buying a hot plate for one screen repair, and heat guns just seem a bit temperamental.
...How can I heat my screen evenly to 100DegC and melt the LOCA???
Lightbulb moment - A double boiler!!
Big pot full of water with another empty pot sitting on top. Water can only boil at or around 100degC (depending on how far above sea level you are).
Worked great, nice and cheap and no chance of burning the LCD. Used a playing card to separate the glass from the LCD.

Hi guys
I just bought a new S10+, and unboxed the phone to find this strange 'wrinkle' on the left metallic border of the phone.
Doesn't feel normal, so thought I ask if any of you have the same issue on your phones.

Is it the protective film that goes on top of the bezel when new?
Can you remove it with your finger nail?
If not...
If wedge between the bezel/screen it may allow water entry.
Nah, my phone didn't come with protective layer.
Was told by seller it's new, but likely to be a refurbished set.
Have since gone back to the store to get a replacement. Got another refurbished set again but in way better condition and battery health, so can't complain for now
