[A] How i fixed my almosted bricked phone - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i know my english is not very clear... but if anyone need help.. i would be glad to help.. just PM me..
after a bad flash my last option was to make my own JIG cable.
i just used 3 100k resistors 1/4 5% and my usb cable that came with the phone
i removed everything from the usb connector ( including that metal protection )... to make the way easier as possible to the circuit board...
after you gently remove all rub and glue from the plastic cover of the connector, you should easily identify where to solder the resistors ( i've tried without soldering.. and it WORKS ! you can just hold with your hands instead of soldering but you should use a rubber glove, since the skin affects the resistor and its much harder to keep holding the resistors on the correct pin.
here goes some pictures of how it looks like:

connector under the cover

I have a question - for what this connector is responsible?
I do not have this one which I mark on foto
I think it should be connected with battery cover and mainboard.

That's where you stick the tabs of the battery cover.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah your right there should be 2 connectors one of yours has dissapeared :S i think its for the gps sol, im pretty sure i read in my manual or sumwhere else, It was for the gps. Im just waiting to be corrected by someone now..
The metal tabs to spring the battery cover? I removed them when I re-shelled my phone. Don't sweat it. It does nothing.
And no it is not for GPS. Those metal tabs connect to nothing. Unless you were pointing to something else.
I was wondering the same.. because i dont have it either.. But I can assure you that the phone/gps/camera/keyboard/*put part here* works even without it

Soft reset button mod

Being a ROM addicted, I hard reset and soft reset a lot. But I was fed up with having to open the battery cover all the time. I could even damage it with so much opening and closing.
The solution was simple.
Take note of the exact place to drill in the cover (see my picture – start to drill from the inside of the cover as slowly as possible), grab a electric screwdriver, find a drill with the same diameter as the stylus and drill it!
Never take your cover again!

Hah! Nice idea.
I was considering doing something like that myself but I setteled with twisting a paperclip into the right shape so it can press the reset button without taking off the cover
If I hadn't lost my stylus I would be very jealous right now. Would try it on my pure, but the cheap backing is already cracked and probably couldn't take this.

[FIX] Permanently fixing broken Mugen cover.

And posiibly any cover problem.
Our Streak actually has two detectors:
First is obvious - two connectors must be shortned.
Second is hidden in one of battery cover hook slots (i wish my English is better).
You'll need to cut a piece of plastic (i used from PC memory case) to resemble broken hook:
Red line - you need to cut this length after you cut that little slot to simplify process.

Next insert it into corresponding cover slot and move it simulating closed cover:
You should also totally cut broken hook from plastic cover.
You are done.
And thanks to Dude_Virus - i have already wrote to Mugen and they have sent me replacement covers.
Useful info. Thanks

[Q] Tired to install new micro usb port

Hey everyone..
I tired to install a new micro usb port on my HD kindle fire 7'' '' Big Mistake '' though I have some soldering skill, this was crazy.. It seem like the solder they used was made steel and it didn't want to desolder.. I tried dipping solder wick in flux.. I got it off, but when doing so, I removed 2 solder pads and ripped another one..
The pads I remove are from the 4 pin to the usb port. I will post pictures.. I was wondering if someone can help me find where I can trace the pins to. Or share a way I can fix the pads themselves..
Please help...

GPS antenna

Does someone know where can I get lg d800 gps antenna?

I bought a new back cover on ebay... It comes with all the antennas, but, in my case, it didn't help
My gps didn't work and after exhausting all software attempts I came across the antenna issue. On mine I put 3 very thin pieces of vinyl electrical tape under the antenna connector pads. You might want to start out with 1 or 2 pieces to start. When putting the cover back on that section required the most force to snap back into place. But it works like it should I'm glad to say.
