Help Identify This Please! - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Bought a V20 with a cracked screen to flip. Kid I got it from says he took it apart and doesn't know where that piece went. I can't seem to figure out what it's purpose is as the phone still does everything I tested the phone to do and doesn't seem to be missing any features without the piece. I'd like to replace the missing piece before passing on the phone to a friend. Any ideas as to what it is for? I know the contact point makes contact with the rear battery cover. Thanks

One sad guy here.............

So I'm walking along, talking on my phone, when BAM!! I slip on the ice, and my phone goes flying. Now I have a cracked screen, that only shows white, except where the crack is... Is there anywhere you can get replacment screen for these? I have been looking around on the net, but to no avail. My phone model is an HTC Wizard 8125. The phone itself is still functional, I can make calls using my blue tooth head set and voice tags, I just cant see anything on the screen. ANY help in locating a new or used screen would be GREATLY appriciated.
Thank you.
nevermind, I dont know why I didnt think to look on ebay. Found about a dozen or so on there ranging in price from 55.00 up to around 70.00. Pricey little slip this turned out to be
sucks to hear man. good luck with getting your new screen.
Make sure you verify which screen model you have. (there are 2)
It's not necessarily based on whether it's a Wiza100 or a Wiza200 model phone. The part #'s are on the screen itself, so you'll have to disassemble to find out.
Good luck!

I guess you already tried hard reset?.
Can you get to bootloader mode?.
Tried hard resets, and getting to bootloader mode, i think this is a malfunction with the actual device, I just need to find out how to get in touch with o2 support internationally, i was wondering if someone on here may have had this problem too.
Thanks.
white screen - connector loose?
I too have this problem - but if I twist the screen away from the keyboard I get the display back. I suspect there's a connector loose inside but haven't looked inside.
Anyone on the forum any experience of getting inside and reseating connectors?

Hello there,
I had to get inside my xda to replace the screen that one of my dear rug rats broke. it is quite easy to do, and you only need to get into the screen side of it to get at the conectors. spin the screen half way round and look at the bottom and you will see 6 small screws. take out the two furthest out and two in the middle nearest the screen side. if you take them all out the whole thing becomes hard to handle. the front cover should GENTLY leaver off, and the cables to it exposed. even if they look in place lift the catch holding them in place and take them out and wipe the contacts with a cloth. just be very carefull with the cable strips as they tear very easy. . any problems then PM me
TTFN

thanks for this posting - worked perfectly once i had worked out that atually you need to remove the screws further away from the screen in the middle. but otherwise I have successfully resurected a brick into a working universal! thanks!

Need help for reprinting a Warranty Seal

hi I've bought my Touch Dual on ebay and it was said to be under warranty (receipt) but when I opened the backside of the phone I discovered a broken warranty seal. Now I have severe problem with my ear speaker which doesn't work anymore. I've found photos of the dual opened but it seems to be too dificult to access the broken speaker...and I don't even know which remplacement speaker I should buy...
But as my phone is normally still under warranty I need your help : can you take a picture (macro and highest quality) of your warranty seal ? I'll also need the exact measure of the circle in order to reprint it as life looking as the original one...
Thanks a lot
sorry mate - i broke mine ;-)
but i am sure there are some dudes outside having a working warranty seal ..
good luck
hi, the seal is made of really thin latex like material, i know cos i popped mine to open case and align some issues. it really isnt difficult to open and get everything out, trust me!! and the whole case is like $80 from cnn.cn
http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-dual-full-housing-black-p-2329.html
i have link to opening instructions too when i get home
be brave!!
BTW: my seal was white with 'VOID' written on it in red, just covered the top right screw hole
Warranty seal
If you still need a photo of the seal I can do one for you. Post again if you still need it.
Thanks for your support. What do you think about my problems? Will it be solvable by myself? :
-First I've encountered a ear speaker problem :indeed the speaker I use to aswer a call doesn't work anymore...I've tried to hard reset the phone but it didn't solve the problem...I've already had this problem a month ago, but after a week the speaker miraculously re-worked...
So I don't really know if the speaker is just unpluged or broken...In the first case it will be really easy to solve by opening the Dual. In the second case I don't know which kind of speaker buy and if it's sold somewere.
I've not seen any post speaking about this problem. I saw a tutorial with photo of the dual opened (http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_touch_dual/) : I didn't really see the aspect of the ear speaker and it seemed to be directly joined to the electronic card...Have you ever seen it? Do you think it'll be easily solvable?
-My second problem is about the sliding screen part of the Dual. I have recently let my niki fall while the sliding sreen was opened. Since then I have noticed that the screen part of the phone move a little when the phone is closed. It's really unpleasant when you hold it closed in your hand because it's always moving and doesn't give you the initial sensation of rigidity...
I think I have bend the rail that the screen part usually follow and I wonder if there is an easy way to dismantle the two parts of the phone to rebend the rail properly. Do you think it'll be easily bendable or sould I buy a new case?
These 2 problems make me hesitate about a warranty return...Indeed I don't want to destroy the plastic case by making bad manipuation, and then just see that the speaker isn't easily exchangeable... As my phone is still under warranty I'll mostly choose the easiest way by returning to the vendor...
Anyway I don't have any time to open it this week so I'll think about it in the next 2 weeks. Could you please take a picture of your seal and give me the size of it : it'll always be useful in case I renounce to open my niki (and in 2 weeks maybe no one will agree to send me the seal picture )
Thanks a lot for your support

Thanks a lot for your help !

have no signal, after i pulled the phone appart

hi there,
this is probably the stupidest thing ive done in my life, but maybe, just maybe someone has a solution.
i was pulling my htc pharos appart, because i recently bought a new lcd screen and phone housing and was going to put it all back together. anyway i figured that this huge black sticker allong the back was probably covering up some screws, so i went ahead and ripped it off.
next time i turned the phone off i had no signal, so from what i can gather its actualy the phone radios aerial that i pulled off (smacks self on the forehead again)
so what im asking is, does anyone know of ways to fix this? (i know its a stupid quesion, and my phone is proably scrap now, but im really hoping theres something that i can do to save it.)
thank you so much,
kirk

replacing G1 speaker

Hey guys,
The earpiece speaker on my G1 has developed a fault, the fault being it doesn't appear to work, how easy is it to source a replacement for it and how easy is the repair itself? is there any guides as to how to do it around? (i looked but i couldn't find anything).
I've tried flashing the rom and doing a hard reset but its still faulty.
The loud speakers working fine though so atm all my calls have to be done on the handsfree kit or via loudspeaker which can get annoying.
any help is much appreciated
regards
Streather
Are you using a ROM where sound works?
What ROM are you using?
Tried it with cynagen and the stock tmob one, same results.
Same problem
I'm using CyanogenMod 4.2.5. I dropped the phone about a foot (it fell out of my shirt pocket as I was tying my shoe!), and the earpiece stopped working. Everything else (speaker phone, etc.) works fine.
I've seen a number of similar cases in other forums, so I'm thinking that this is a weak point. I'll attempt disassembly and see if the speaker contacts got moved or something simple. Fortunately, replacement receivers/earpiece/speakers are available over the net.
Meanwhile, I'd love to learn of others' experience with this. The tech manual makes it look like you have to just about completely disassemble the phone to get at the earpiece, even though you can easily access 3 screws on the back of the lcd. Is there a shorter route to the receiver than a complete disassembly?
[update] I found some good info (including a technical manual) by Googling "g1 phone disassembly". And searching for "g1 speaker" on eBay gave some decent looking results.
[update 2] I disassembled my phone, took out the receiver, cleaned its contacts, replaced it, and and reassembled everything. That was a pretty serious chore, and it demonstrated that a nearly complete disassembly is required to access the receiver (yes, including all the stuff at the opposite end of the phone). I don't know how to test the receiver without being in cell range, which my house is not. But at least nearly everything else still works, except the camera--I need to tear back into the phone and make sure I fully seated the FPC. I think finding a replacement receiver will be a challenge--most of what turned up on eBay is actually the main speaker on the back of the phone, and I have yet to find a vendor that sells receivers.
Sadly, you will almost have to tear down the whole unit to get to it. It's not extremly diffucult, but you will need to be steady and gentle. Good luck.
Success!
I haven't seen many report back after tearing apart their phones to address issues with a bad receiver, so here goes. My simple-minded approach of opening it up, cleaning the receiver contacts with a pencil eraser, and ensuring good alignment before reassembling WORKED. I did not have to buy a new receiver.
Now if I can just get my camera to work again (I think I didn't get the cable well seated).
[update]: camera works! Seating that FPC took some nimble fingers--I got it on the 3rd attempt. I hope this proves useful to others who, like me, do not have the warranty option for various reasons.
I dropped my phone once, by accident, same thing happened. The speaker you use to put your ear up to when making a phone call doesn't work, but the speaker phone speaker works as does a bluetooth headset. Called HTC lied said that it just stopped working out of no where, they said its covered under warranty. Luckily the phone is under warranty until March and will be replaced.
I ran into the same problem. I was having intermittent problems with the earpiece. Yesterday I was able to take out the battery and put it in and it started working again. Today that didn't help either. I saw this thread and I thought that I'd try blowing really hard on the earpiece to see if that helps. It seems to be working again! I hope it continues to work.

Can you post details on how to do this?
My camera stopped working too.
I personally found it easier when disassembling the phone to carefully lift the entire camera and IMEI sticker as a whole unit and remove it as part of the motherboard. That way you dont need to mess with that hard to reach connector. So from where you are at, lift the board back out, reattach the camera assembly, and reassemble as a unit. I think you will find it is MUCH easier
Seat the camera FPC fully

I had to lift the motherboard up and away from the hook that held it down in order for the FPC clip to open fully. Then I inserted the FPC *fully* before closing the FPC clip (my failures resulted from not being able to fully seat the FPC because the FPC clip could not fully open as long as the motherboard was in place). Then the trick was to get the motherboard back under its hook without accidentally pulling the FPC back out again. What I did was to press it gently straight down, using my fingernail to ease it past the hook.
Good luck!

Yeah looks like all there is on Ebay for speakers is the back one, the one for the receiver earpiece looks like it has two wire connections at each end while the one for the back speaker has them right next to eachother.
So if anybody had this problem, it is very odd and might have to do with the spring connection maybe.
Still I had this problem before and it fixed itself randomly, but this problem came out of nowhere because 12 hours earlier I had dropped my phone on its back and it continued to work fine. Than on my way driving randomly it would not work and I barely set it down in my car.
Once again hopefully somebody has found a part for this because ebay only has back speaker parts.
Best bet is to blow on it and massage it or tap it until it works, damn this sucks because it is basically the very last step to get to after dissambling your phone. So much work to get to such a common problem for many people.
I almost wanted to try to shortcut it and undo the two screws on the screen section to move it around to make connection. Now I am the deusche bag with the bluetooth in his ear all the time.

That was what I tried at first. It didn't gain me access to the speaker.
Taking the phone apart is a pain. You really need nimble fingers and faith that you're not breaking the phone when you're levering apart the *very* tightly held together plastic parts. HTC did not make this thing with servicing it in mind. Just be sure to have the right tools (including light and a good magnifying glass if you're over 40) and patience.
Removing the 3 screws that are accessible without disassembling the entire phone will get you in there if you are VERY careful. Unfortunately the one I tried this on did not work differently with a known-good speaker in it. You can delicately dig out the old speaker with a knife (Xacto) and drop the new one in. Takes patients, but not nearly as hard as disassembling the entire phone (been there, done that x10)
I have at least one spare speaker. Maybe more, gotta check my stockpile!
Hey,
My phone got dropped in a rum & coke on Saturday, so i soaked it in 90% rubbing alcohol and let it dry in a rice bath. after 4 days in the rice, it looked dry, so i turned it on. IT WORKS! The screen looks a little trippy (the pattern is even changing throughout the day) but the touch and accelerometer work great. The only real problem is the speakers sound like crap. the receiver is so quiet that it sound like they're wispering, and the back speaker is all crackely.
I found a replacement receiver speaker, but as i haven't taken it apart yet, i was hoping one of you could tell me if this looks correct.
http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Replacement-Speaker-Earpiece-Receiver-for-HTC-G1-HTCO-G1/photos.htm
If so, i guess i'll order both speakers and attempt to replace them.
That looks about right. Bear in mind, of course, that those pictures are greatly magnified. If you haven't taken apart a G1 yet, you're in for a bit of nerve-wracking prying. Just go slowly and be patient. Getting all the way to the receiver speaker means taking the phone most of the way apart.
Thanks!
I have taken apart a phone before, the Dash (excalibur). I had to replace the screen, it involved removing almost every component.
I think i'll go ahead and order it, and cross my fingers. right now the phone isn't much more then a tiny computer, since i can't hear anyone and i don't have a Bluetooth.
