Broke my Kaiser :(

So as the title suggests, my Kaiser is pretty much broken. Well, sorta, the phone itself works; but the LCD screen is cracked Here's a picture of the wreckage:

So I have two questions:
1. What's a good program that I can use to backup all my stuff on the phone ( the stuff on the internal memory, like the programs, today screen styles, etc.).
2. Is it possible to buy a replacement LCD screen for the phone and crack open the phone myself and install a new screen? This might be a little easier then having to go through AT&T to get a whole new phone.
Thanks for reading, guys, and I hope you can help me out

For sure you can....

1). Search these forums for mymobiler. Install on your pc. It will give you access to your phone and you can download/unload everything.
2). Search these forums for cracked or replacement screen. I recall seeing several threads concerning replacement of the screen.

Wow, a quick search in eBay gave me this! It seems legit, should I go ahead and order it???

The link doesnt work for me but Ive already replaced 2 lcds, 1 on a wing and one on a tilt with ebay replacement lcds so there are definitely legit seller on there.

oOps, I fixed the link

I broke my screen on last Thursday and the MyMobiler program saved me from having to buy a new phone right away. Although I have used the phone so much I can pretty much still make phone calls blind, the MyMobiler program helped a bunch.
I ordered my new screen today from blackberry8100parts.com. I got some info from the forums here and they seem legit. Hell, they even provide a coupon code (which is XDA) for us to get 10% off. Thanks.
I will post again after I get the screen with how things work out. Right now it is $47 (not including 10% discount) + ~$7 shipping. It is the complete LCD + Touchscreen + digitizer. They have one without the digitizer as well for the same price. I was expecting much more. Now I hope my install goes well. Oh, that website also has the Tilt / Kaiser service manual for download too.
Here is the link to the screen with the digitizer.

I got the screen in this past weekend and followed the HTC service manual with a little help from another website and everything went very smoothly.
I decided to disassemble the entire Tilt rather than the 4 screw method I have read about here on XDA. Partially because I wanted to do it correctly and partially because I want to see the insides.
I was a little nervous about using the plastic pry tool (comes with screen) to get the case off but if you follow the insertion points that they list in the guide everything comes apart quite nice and goes back together just as easy.
My Tilt has come back from the dead!

Would not Soti Pocket Controller work as well? However, it's not free.

has my vibrator gone bad?

my phone won't vibrate when it turns on or when receiving texts or calls. even if i switch it to vibrate it won't. if i shake the phone a bit before i make a panel selection i get a click from inside the phone when i select the panel. it's like it wants to work but it won't work all the way. anyone else had this problem? if so how do i fix it? this is frustrating. thanks for any help
EDIT: (just so you don't have to search through the whole thread)
Found out that the problem was HTorch. I used it for only a few minutes on high power and it melted the Led on top of the vibrator motor and locked it down. Heed these words, comrades. Take special care not to use htorch on its bright setting. cheers

if hardreset dont do anything then
i would say that it's a hardware malfuntion
which require service

I thought this title was referring to something else

me too!
There's a thread where someone else had the same problem, more than likely the motor has burnt itself out or the weight/cam has dropped off the end of the shaft (LOL). More than likely a return to SE/your provider to get it fixed.

God you just jinxxed mine! Vibration is dead now. Nothing on calls texts or anything. Even when I go into sound panel to test it doesn't work.

Just done a hard reset and nothing.
Looks like a service job already....

I had the same problem and in the end had to get a replacement.

I sent my X1 to service last week because of the same problem.

christ... that sucks you guys! i'm gonna attempt to open mine up and see if what squidgyb said about the cam falling off the motor might be the case. report back later

what i found is not pretty....

that piece that looks crooked with a yellowish square piece on it shouldn't be crooked. it should only be occupying that blue rectangular space. it seems to have overheated and melted itself out of place. if you look here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWDurQrRt-Y&feature=related
at 2:26 you see what it should look like on the right side of the camera. it's new resting place is (guess where ) snug on top of the cam and motor. it's locked down. i would just like to know what it is and why or how it overheated. it seems like a simple fix... if i knew where to buy that black plastic thingy that is now melted. i just figured this was some interesting info to share. i really can't go without my phone for however long it would take for them to repair and ship it back to me so if any of you know of a place online that i can buy xperia parts, feel free to post a link. thanks you guys

that's the one...

Good job in finding out what it was. However, I didn't pay good money to fix it myself so it's going back to O2

O2 have no stock and are giving me the 'sometime next week' crap again. Then he said go into a shop and see if they can fix it as it may be software.
Looks like I will re-flash the ROM back to normal and then bring it into a store. Then it's either send off for repair or wait for stock. My Jedi senses are telling me that I am going to kick off very soon....

i thought about what i asked earlier about someone posting a link to buy replacement parts and then i remembered that parts shortage they went through that delayed everything. if sony/htc can't even get the parts they need to make the phones, then how am i supposed to get the extra parts that i need to fix mine lol so despite my impatience, i guess i'll have to send it back

Vodafone or O2 figurine?

best thing really, you don't expect to pay all that amount of money for a phone that is 99% working. This is my first SonyEricsson that I have sent back within 3 weeks for a hardware fault.

mine is an x1i unlocked from the uk and i'm a kid in the u.s. on t-mobile lol. wish i did live there though. that'd sure be swell

really though, these ARE the first on the market so ppl shouldn't expect them to be without their flaws just as with any other high-end item be it phones or game systems. time must be allowed for all the creases to be ironed out.

Good luck figurine lol
And yes I do expect problems and I am not that mad with SE but O2 should be able to support their customers in a reasonable timeframe as we paid good money for them....

that wasn't aimed at you guru... it's these ppl that make a big deal about having to send their phone back within a few weeks of getting it due to hardware or software issues. It's to be expected. they should wait a few months until the bugs are worked out or something

eken m003 8" tablet tear down and hopefully upgrade

Hi,
I trade out for an Eken M003 8" tablet running 1.6 on it. I can not stand it as of right now. I decided to do a tear down of it to see if it was indeed able to be upgraded. I have search all of the world wide web for anything on this, and so far I have found barely anything. I will be adding Pictures tomorrow.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this device, other than it is cheap? It has a wm8505 Chipset in it and a small ram chip as well. I am not advanced in the Hardware side of things, but I do like tearing apart..lol. I tried Wondermedia, and Via to try and buy another chipset for it, but I cant find one. Hell even if I can desolder the ram, I cant find anything to get back on it. One question I have is does the WM8505 chip actually contain the O.S. on it? If so what would happen if I did indeed replace it with a blank chip? Could I put an operating system of my choosing on it then? What if I increase ram from 128-1g? Lots of questions, and the only site I can find is Slatedroid, but it is non operational. I have a rooted Nexus and it is faster that this POS. I dont care what really happens to it, I just want to experiment. Any suggestions?

wm8505 chipset found inside EKEN
Here is the wm8505 chipset I found inside the EKEN m003. Any suggestions?

Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Wifi?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I just found tw6805 on everbuying.com,but i don't know whether it agree with yours.

The problem with these things is that, they are so cheap.... you cannot expect support. I really don't see the purpose of an Android tablet if you have an Android phone or a PC/Tablet PC

I agree about cheap, I didnt pay anything for it, I traded out something I didnt want for it. Really just wanting to try and upgrade it and see just how fast it is. I have a Nexus One that I love, and it is faster than this thing by far. Would be cool to stick in 1g memory, and 1ghz processor. Then I just have to learn how to port custom rom on it, and instant Bathroom fantastica!

take it apart
Hi tytngasman, how you dismantled it?
Do you have any suggestion?
I need to open it to check why the display looks garbaged.
Thanks.

There are 2 crews at the bottom, and an additional 2 screws under the bezel on the left and right side. Then just pop the tabs, and there you go!

Great! Thank you.
My M003 has got a very strange issue: if you push back the sim-like cpu card the display stop garbaging. If you leave it alone, all images are scrambled!
I was trying to glue the sim but is a no go...
In the meantime I broke the touch screen
Then... game over.

I dont understand what you are talking about with the glue. What sim-like cpu chip? The only removable thing on the board is the wm8505 chipset. It looks like a piece of Laptop Memory. Should have two silver clips on the board that it snaps into, and should be about 3 inches by 1.5 inches. do you have a pic of the part? also you can get another screen.

yes, the sodimm like card with the chipset.
if I push it, the screen is clean, if I leave it alone the screen is garbaged
I suppose that the problem must be related to wm chip itself (bad balls) or to the sodimm connector.
any suggestion?
ah! I just bought off ebay a touchscreen replacement for 15$ shipped.

i HOPE THAT WORKS FOR YOU, iF NOT SEND ME A PIC OF IT. Soldering is really easy though. If that is the problem, Also could be in the clips on the side. If you pulled out the chipset without first unclipping it, then it will not hold correctly.

What is the name of this part of the phone?

Long story short I tripped and landed on it. The lcd is not broken and all my touch gestures still work. The crack is on the inside (as in I can't feel it from the outside) I would like to fix this but have no idea what part I would need to order/ what it is named. Please help me I am very upset.

That's your LED screen. Google "screen replacement for (your model)" Should pull up a bunch of sites. Install yourself if able, cause some of these companies are ridiculous on prices. Did my wing for $28.00, I think. Been awhile. Good luck

wouldn't that mean i couldn't see a picture? my screen works fine its just cracked. I was told it is most likely the digitizer (but my touch gestures still work as well).

I assumed it was the screen itself. Is the screen plastic or glass. I would think plastic, but who knows. Google it. Most screens include the digitizer when the screen is purchased. Personally I would replace both at the same time if cheap enough. You'll have the phone apart anyway, If you plan on doing it yourself.
I found it fun & a bit educational. might have to order a tool or 2 but there very cheap. Be careful of the ribbon connectors, you can break them very easily.

Wow sorry to see the HTC Dream/G1 suffer the way it did.
I think its time to hang up the phone for good.
Save the money you would pay to fix it and move onto something newer.

Is that really a fair comparison ? It's a non-rooted G1 running 1.6. I'd like to see the results on a rooted/flashed w/Froyo 2.2 Also not overclocked like some of them.
Screens are cheap, relatively easy to install fix for a $400 phone. Seems a waste to "hang it up".
Interesting info @ site though.

The HTC Dream/G1 is dead last in benchmarks.
Unless he can find a screen for dirt cheap I believe it would be a waste of cash.
If he is eligible for a full upgrade discount from his provider let him decide for himself.

Agreed, it is his decision.
Root/Flash and overclock the G1 and your saying it will still be dead last ?
So another words, you break your $400 phone and "you" would just buy a new one ?

So i shattered my screen on my phone and have been looking into buying a new digitizer but I have not been able to find any guides/videos for doing so. Has anyone had success repairing a cracked screen?
I read on a forum on a different site that someone was attempting to replace the screen but that when it came time to separate the screen from the bezel it got hairy.
Any help would be much appreciated. Using the original blackjack in the meantime and it is killing me!

Here's a video for motorola A855. Not the same but a good starting point. There's more videos to look thru. Read the comments as well, they should be helpful. One dude said he successfully did it with a phillips screwdriver without taking it all apart. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Awesome thanks for the link. I will be ordering the screen within the next couple days and will post results.
If at all possible I will try to upload a youtube video of the process specific to the xt720.

I also broke the touch, as you have you got mounted?
you made the video ....?
know of a link somewhere manually?
hello thanks.

no I didn't make the video, I haven't even used this or broke my screen. Was just trying to help with an Idea. Let us know how it goes if you order one and maybe make your own video? or tutorial.

So what's the verdict? Did you order one?

unfortunately I have not had the chance to mess with it yet. I ordered it and its at my house, I am just trying to find the time to break everything down. I also made the mistake of buying a vibrant 4g before I fixed it so I have been even more preoccupied with that. I will try to post results this weekend. Sorry for the delay

Interesting. I want to get one of those. However in my case, its the glass part of the touchscreen thats broken i.e. all touch are still registered as if nothing is wrong. Do I need a digitizer or just a replacement glass lens.? Or is it just one big planel (glass lens + touch digitizer)?
