Just broke off a keyboard button!!! - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

OK so the 'i' has pinged off :'(
Will it be OK to just superglue it back?
I can see there's some kinda thin rubber 'membrane' underneath..... will superglue do the trick, or will that totally ruin it?
Thanks for any tips!

do not even try!!!
buy a replacement keyboard. just a view bucks and some guts needed. all info found on XDA devs.

Do not superglue!! if you do the button will stick. Get a glue gun and use like a needle to evenly spread it then glue.

Wow. I'd say you'd be best getting a new keyboard and replacing it.

I agree, do not superglue! you may end up trashin your phone if you are not careful. Get a new keyboard.

Dude, screw glueing it. I say go get a soldering iron, solder, and flux, and just use those to attach the key back on. It's more accurate and lasts longer. Be sure to apply the flux first!
Edit: Please don't solder the key back on!

hands on repair is always fun for first timers,i had the same thing happen with my Hermes/8525 only that almost all the buttons started prying off piece by piece,luckily i just bought a new keyboard and sold it before i got my Tilt

not the hole phone, just more than a half
where to buy it....try some htc local dealer or, if none, online version!
thanks, but i know where to buy it, i'm looking for a way to take out the keyboard. i'm assuming, if what your saying is correct, i have to take the whole phone apart??
i saw that, what i'm asking, is it possible to just change the rubbery keyboard and not have to do open heart surgery??!!

please let me know about this product if anybody has got one. I ordered one, will be receiving tomoro.
i have this.
I like it when i use it but thats only on trips usually.
The design is a little bulky on the sides but on the positive side its very padded so as not to scratch the device.
I like the little flap/clip things on the bottom. it provides a lil extra support because when my phone is still in its stock case it fits a little wierd but has never falllen out of the holder. The flaps are also far enough apart they don't get in the way of the charging or 3.5 jack.
The base fits snug in my cup holder which is a plus...
You will need to slide the right side of the case down as it wil continue to hit your volume keys but overall, though the design is not the prettiest, its functional, i trust it to hold my HD2 and was pretty cheap considering some of the other holders i've ran into.
I bought mine expecting the worst and it's came in handy quite a bit, i don't think you'll be disappointed.

Battery door smudge proofing/texturising possible?

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas for making the back cover of my i9000 less oily?
I have been using a case for a long time partly because my galaxy back constantly gets oily from my hands, but I really want to go slim and case-free now!
EDIT: might see if i can track down some of this plasti-dip stuff http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881062
i think a replacement back cover is your best bet
unless you go through the hassle of sanding it down, buffing it up, smoothing it out, painting it... Not worth it, get a new cover. loads to choose from

Thanks, looks nice!
I had the same problem with hands sweating holding was quite risky. I bought a silicon rubber cover with rough dotted surface which gives you good grip & no marks on the back plate.
Well, you can always put grip tape on it. That will solve the slippery issue and the fingerprint issue.
But it might make a hole in your pocket

[Q] Anyone know what the name is of this connector port?

Anyone know what the name is of this connector port? Can I buy the part and re solder a new one on the mainboard? My problem specifically is while trying to remove the on board sd-card with an exacto knife I didn't realize I was slipping and hitting that port with my exacto knife and I some how managed to knock 4 of the golden contacts off the connector and now the Lcd screen is all messed up when it comes on. My thought is this, If I could buy those tiny gold contacts then I could replace the 4 that I managed to remove by accident with my exacto knife and my problem would be fixed.

It's probably going to be very difficult to find the individual contacts. Most likely it will be hard to find the whole connector by itself. I'd personally look for a dead tablet on ebay. You could probably get one with a good connector. Of course soldering one of these in isn't going to be the easiest thing either, unless you have the right equipment. I personally use a dissecting microscope and a very sharp soldering iron to solder the USB ports on Samsung phones...

Modifying the OEM charger - what's inside?

So I changed my band yesterday but it's a bit too chunky to fit on the charger flush. I love the strap and don't want to change it to a slimmer one - I just wondered if anyone had cracked open the charger to see what's inside. Ultimately what I want to be able to do is shave off a 22mm wedge from the top and bottom to allow the strap to fit into it - but I don't know if there's anything critical in there which might interfere with it...
Cracked mine open, y'know, for science.

Looks like I could quite happily do what I need with no issue other than making it look ugly. However, turns out that I can make the watch fit without it...so this internal image is just a bonus for those interested. Disassembly is easy.
Peel off the rubber ring from the bottom.
There are 3 tiny crosshead screws to remove. Then it's a case of inserting a thin screwdriver in between the outside and inside parts and prising it open. There are little notches which you can use to get purchase on it. That's pretty much it.
