NABI Jr NV-5B Guts - Hardware Hacking General

Last week I got a shiny, new Nabi Jr NV-5B. The 16GB Nick version. It was dead less than 48 hours later. Since I'm an Android noob, I searched around the 'web and just found the same useless reboot keys. Today I decided to void the warranty and pull the battery. What do you know, the Nabi came back to life!
Here's a couple of pictures in case anyone's interested about whats inside this tablet.

I guess my noobness prevents me from sharing the pictures of the internals of this tablet. It seems I am not allowed to post images.

Anyone in the UK want a FREE faulty HD2?

Don't get too excited, as the screen is smashed and USB port on bottom of phone is missing, but yuh never know, someone might need some parts from inside.....
like vibrate, gps unit, battery cover, back side of case etc etc etc.
Reason being, I sold my working HD2 and bought a Desire HD and am taking delivery of it tommorow...got to be done, love the HD2, but I seem to be plagued with problems with the old.....it gets warm and freezes, gps it freezes etc etc.
Gagging for an Android native phone, and used my friends Desire HD the last week and it's AWESOME.
Sooo, still got my first HD2 which has been in draw for months, screen gone etc....know I can make a small bit of cash by selling it on Ebay, but would rather donate it to someone on here, as this forum been a home to me the last 12 months or so (lol)
anyway, let me know what parts yuh want off it and they are yours
Doubt any Devs want it, but if they do, they get first choice...as without them, I woulda been stuck in Windows mobile hell!!
Anyway, cheers Devs...much appreciated for all your hard work.
cheers

ps: There is no catch, FREE parts, FREE postage.
Wouldn't mind having the battery cover if no more takers, somehow managed to lose mine somewhere lol
Let me know. Thanks
I'll take it,also need a battery cover.
Thanks
SD card and/or battery please! Though they're probably gone with the good one.
I agree though "recognised developer" should step up.

[Q] Iconia A500 Parts?

So... I don't really want to go into the details of the thing... long story short my college roommate karate kicked my tablet down a flight of stairs (not even a cracked screen!) Acer support is... meager, at best, and the warranty doesn't cover anything hardware related.
The only part of the tablet that is really broken is the top left corner of it; where the power button resides. It's partially cracked open, and the rear-facing camera is really blurry now, condensation/cracked/not really sure. So my question is, does anyone know where I can buy parts for the tablet? As in... possibly the whole shell and the rear camera? I've looked but maybe just not hard enough.

Nice roommate. Shoulda K-Kicked his arse, or steal his girl.
Sent you a pm with a link to the illustrated parts breakdown with part numbers. Also, you might find parts on e-bay.

Awesome thank you, so far no luck but I'm sure eventually someone will be selling the parts. And yeah I shoulda, but **** happens And yes I asked Acer about spare parts... They seemed incredulous to the thought of an end user prying open their tablet. Something to the extent of "voids warranty" and "pay us money to replace the $10 part." Gah. Uh well, now I'm content with building my own green UI now.

There's the link, sorry it's taken so long. It only has the part numbers, and as far as finding a vendor for those parts, it's almost impossible. Plenty of front cameras on e-bay, but no rear cameras that I've found. Let me know if you have any luck.

What protective case are you going with? (show us pictures)

Sorry, wrong section of the forum.
Thanks slim

I ran a search and didn't see anything. sorry if i missed it.
I just pre ordered my 3S (Verizon-US) today, hoping to get it in my hands in the next couple weeks. We are talking about a big phone here and having any kind of case will obviously add bulk regardless to how minimal like the case mate barely there options.
For those of you who are getting this phone or those of you who already have it in hand, What case are you using/thinking about getting?
I have only dropped one of my phones twice that I can remember so I'm not concerned about getting any kind of otterbox style protection case. I'm pursonally thinking about the white case mate "barely there". I have it for my current thunderbolt and it serves it's purpose, which is to provide minimal protection but enough to prevent small incidents.
if you have a case already, I'd love to see picts.

Because you didn't search in the accessories section my friend.
AHHHHH. sorry, dont have a ton of experience with this site yet even though i lurk around from time to time. Thanks for the heads up.

Is this phone worth saving, or trash it.

Oh and sorry to all the princesses on here who cant even wait for a person to sleep through the night before bring out the lynch mob and pitch forks.
Next time I will PM each one of you individually so you will get minute by minute updates of my life.
ANYWAY
Is this have any value for me to keep in parts.
It powers on but the LED screen does not come up, about all that seems usefull to me is the back and battery. Is there anything else worth saving?
No insurance on the phone? I was going to say get a replacement screen on ebay but I just checked the prices and my god its not worth it.
Would probably be worth keeping it. Parts prices will fall in the next few months and could replace the screen pretty cheaply if you hold on to it.
Why did you not ask this question in the other thread you started?
I'll buy it off of you. pm me
You could use the HDMI out and use it as a Linux PC.
*shruggs*
holy crap what did you do to it

I need the actual LED display also, not just the glass.
I do have insurance, but at the time it was still on the road so I claimed it lost, it was still there when I came back home so I picked it up.

Fair enough. I did not notice it was locked. Good luck!
save it for a rainy day. spare battery or whatever isnt damaged. i dont see the need to start a thread to help make a decision about something that does not help anyone else on XDA.
If anything we now know, not to leave our expensive device on a car and drive away. Thank you for the insight.

people are mad.. because..

make a statement that galaxy s3 is a bad and so fragile device.
which is not,
it got ran by a truck,
of course it's broke.
anyway..
just wait for the parts price down,
it's still rare and pricy for now.

I get that, but I posted late at night and got up the next morning to a lynch mob, its not like I abandoned the thread. I would have never thought anyone would intentionally damage such an expensive thread so it was rather pathetic to see that was the direction of the thread before I had a chance to respond.

I claimed it as lost, It fell off on a very busy road and I wasnt to keen on trying to stop traffic to get it. On the way home it had worked its way closer to the side of the road and traffic was a lot lighter so I decided to venture out (mainly just to see if my SD made it). I had already made the claim though as lost, since I didnt plan on trying to retrieve the phone.

Huawei Ascend XT2 (H1711)?

havent been on here for awhile but anyways....
So i work at my electronics department at Walmart. beginning of last week we got some new AT&T prepaid phones in for a new mod that we are going to be setting up. well one of the phones was an Huawei Ascend XT2 (H1711). i search, and search for info on this phone and couldn't really find anything about this phone besides being able to download a user guide for this phone.
well i bought one knowing nothing about it what phone, and or chipset it uses etc etc...
To be honest been using it for a day now, and i'm simply amazed of the quality/feel/looks of this phone, and i'm really shocked i can't find anything about this phone anywhere.
have you guys heard anything about this phone?
if this thread is in the wrong place please move it.
I picked one up myself. For my father, but I've been playing with it for the last few days. It's really a decent device..
I haven't been able to find anything on it either.
Thanks for posting about this new phone. I was wondering if there was going to be a successor to the H1611.
How much are the H1711s currently selling for?
freakshow11582, I would recommend pulling your images with the phone IMEI shown and repost them with the IMEI whited out.
I'm not sure I trust CPU-Z as the H1611 is ARM64 and gets reported as ARM architecture by CPU-Z. I'm guessing it's doing the same for the H1711.
Your one image shows 3.76GB free - did you already load up a lot of files into internal storage?
Thanks again for the information and I think this is a perfect place for this thread right now until we see how much interest there is for this model.
---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------
I just noticed that the H1711 is smaller at 5.5" vs the 6" H1611.

Will probably be like the H1611. First only Walmart had an overpriced TPU case for $20. Then a few months later other reasonably priced cases showed up for much less. I'd suggest to keep checking eBay.

Huh?
So people that have bought Ascend XT2 H1711, what do you guys think about it?
Seems like just the two of you have the H1711 here so far.
What other phones did you consider in this price range before deciding on the H1711? People who bought the LG Phoenix 2 got updated from M to N, while our H1611s are still on M.
How do you like N and what phone were you using before?

i went to pick up XT to unlock for my uncle. I was paying for it without even knowing i was getting the 2. Came out to be like 120 something. I told the guy the price said 49.88 and talked to a manager and got the phone for 49.99. Came to find out dang AT&T stopped all the unlocking unless you paid 6months of service. Now, i have a good deal on a phone but cant really use it.
You can still use it on any AT&T based MVNO or AT&T itself. Which carrier were you planning to use?

I also have the Phoenix 2 I gave it to my daughter cause she wanted it. And only got this phone cause I was curious about it.. Before this phone I was using LG X power, and zte max xl (zte went to **** and only month old.) for virgin mobile.
Best Buy has the Phoenix 2 for $40 if you want one for yourself .
Loving mine so far, bought 10/13. Only complains are how easy the screen is to smudge and nearly impossible to keep clean. Also since I bought it Ive been laying it camera down on tissues because I don't have a case yet like everyone and don't want to scratch the camera lens. I was wondering if anyone can confirm or verify that the raised ring around the rear camera lens is raised higher than the lens, because to my finger and eye it feels flush, I'm afraid to set it down and scratch the lens.
Also I've messed with just about every setting/option there is on the phone and custom launchers so if anyone has any questions about stuff like that I can probably help.

Nope the lens on my camera is flush with the ring., and also using a custom launcher nova launcher to be exact.
$120 XT for over the $60 XT, I dont see the advantage. Same screen, same ram and same storage.
