[Q] Nexus one Vibrating motor needed - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello dear friends!
Im pretty upset, 13 months ago i bought my nexus one directly from google, yesterday my vibrating motor started to fail!
Its weak, and loose... I need one replacement, so I searched the net and I only found this site offering it, and as you can se the minimun buy number is 5...
I dont need 5 replacement motors (i hope) so, is there another site where i can buy only one OEM replacement?
I would appreciate if you guys ley me know!

http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=Vi...g+Motor&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313 you can buy one that looks identical to the nexus one it should work. I doubt HTC makes their own motors so I think you have a pretty safe bet if you go with one that looks like it. I looked at a few and this one looks just like it http://cgi.ebay.com/Pager-and-Cell-...697?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4158239ef1

Have you checked at cnn.cn?

please let me know your opinion!

To me they look really similar why don't you ask this ebay seller http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Nexus-One-W...0561840998?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item43a6d5d766 he's selling his Broken Nexus with water damage I'm sure if you offer 10 bucks with shipping he might sell the motor to you. In one of the pictures you can tell he already open the bottom part trying to fix it.

I'm sorry to necro this thread.
I'm just confirming my success replacing my faulty vibrating motor with the ebay part from this thread. It's not exactly identical: the rotating metal piece is a bit smaller than the original and the exact shape of the plastic is different, but it fits perfectly, and the vibration feels solid, even though it vibrates differently, it's better that a failing motor.
this is the link in case anyone needs it

It's hard to describe.
Considering that my old motor vibrated like a sledgehammer on crack, this one does feel "weaker"
the new motor feels "sharper", something like if the vibration came from behind the screen, instead of from the surface.
It's really hard to describe it, but overall, even though it feels different, I'm very happy with it since it's now usable.

I also confirm the good quality of this vibrating motor and this is the easiest component to replace on this phone, excluding the battery.
For just 5 euros with shipping included, the vibration on my Nexus One feels like new :victory:

Looking to buy a Tilt

Well, it's official. I trashed my Tilt. I dropped it in a bucket of fresh oil that i was using to soak a set of lifters for a motor I am building and didnt realize it for at least an hour or so. Now it looks like I have a 70's lava lamp in the screen. It does boot, but no response via the screen and it seems to be flickering the backlight. Before anyone asks, yes it was synthetic and no, I have no idea how I did it. Oh, and I found a cure for the sticky keyboard keys. Mine are smooth as silk but who knows if they work or not. It's hard to see past the lava bubble of oil trapped in the screen.
Does anyone have a Tilt for sale or know of someone who does?
Thanks guys and yes, if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at?
Oh and the funny thing about it is that everyone that sees it says it would be awesome if you could buy one that had the lava in the phone like mine does now. However, I think they want it to work and really dont want me to install the lava for them.
If anyone has an extra Tilt they want to get rid off. Depending on the Price I might buy it from you. Also, I'm Thinking of adding this to the Kaiser FAQ Wiki.
Q: I Dropped my Kaiser in a bucket of Oil and now The Touchscreen doesn't work What should I do?
A: Buy a new one. Or you can try and have the Screen replaced.
I've got one, but I want an iPhone... :gasp:

Eh?
This message is too short!
One hell of a way to make your keyboard nice and smooth. Take a look on ebay of CL.
I have two tilts one is listed on ebay right now.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=120252716998&Category=38331
The other I have not listed. Check it out.
I just got a tilt from AT&T for very cheap. Go to wireless.att.com and buy a refurbished one. They are FREE with 2 year agreement!! Here's the catch... you need to only keep the phone on AT&T for 30 days then pay a $175 Early Termination Fee and the phone is yours for the $175 + $40 or so for the first months service!!!! I just got mine this way and it's perfect... it was as good as brand new looked like it was never touched before!
I appreciate the offers, but ebay is not the solution. I don't care if the phone is locked or unlocked. I am more than compitent enough to unlock the phone myself. Also, just because the phone is unlocked does not make it worth more or less than the locked phone in my book. $500+ for a tilt is just not an option. The money is not the issue, the value of the phone is. XDA store has the phones for $224.99 for those with an already existing account. Why would I pay more than that?
However, thanks for the offers guys. The offers are very much appreciated.
Man, don't you read the manual on your new toys????
You DO NOT need to lubricate the Tilt Hinges people!!!!
I'll see if I can find anyone here wanting to get rid of it. Actually I may even, need to see when the T3 will be out though.

I deserve that. Still, i think i have found the cure for the "sticky" keys.
Side note, seems as though everything seems to be working again. It did trash a battery as it wont pewr with it installed. However, the "lava" bubble is gone, the sound is no longer garbled, the touch seems to be working and as far as i can tell everything is back to functioning. The only issue I am seeing now is that there is some SLIGHT discoloration to the background of the screen. Who knows, it may work fine after all. I am still in the market though for a new or refurb, either way.
i just happen to be selling one..

i will make deals on the price if your interested in my phone.

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

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

You may want to check out Cnn.cn. It's a great website for buying spare parts too.

They are selling it for $65.99. They usual post how-to videos also. I suggest maybe looking at comparable phones.

did you break your screen when your HD2 is inside the noreve leather case?
Yes, but it was open 'mea culpa'
Ouch sorry to hear about this. I read somewhere about it is better to get a kit with the LCD and digitizer together. Some people seemed not to have luck trying to separate and replace and put back together. Just what I read, I have no idea.
Good luck and hope you get it going soon.
Thanks bobsbbq. Some questions:
1.- Then, if I bought together (touchscreen and LCD) it would be easier to replaced them
2.- Where can I buy them together?
Thanks bob
I dont have instructions for you how to swap the display, but I can say the following: I had an Samsung Omnia, and the resistive touchscreen there was very bad. But there was an replacement which seemed to work much better. So I bought a new LCD + digitizer and started to disassemble the whole phone. I have to say, I'm not very good in disassembling electronics or reparing them. But after an hour of hard work where I sometimes had a bad feeling by pulling out the different flat-cables, the touchscreen was replaced and worked like a charm.
What I wanted to say with my post: I think you can do it, if you have the right equipment and some time. Good luck.
I broke the screen on my Diamond2 and tried to fix it myself, but broke it beyond repair.
Be careful!

oh man... I feel for you. You can check out a thread in the Accessories section of the HD1. Basically you are better off buying TouchScreen and LCD preassembled and replace the whole thing
Same thing happened to mine although the damage is lesser. Is the bezel around the glass (same piece of plastic that makes the back cover) damaged?
Mine is chipped heaps in the corner
I successfully replaced the screen on my Touch HD but was unable to remove the LCD screen from the digitizer so had to purchase a whole kit for about $200.
I can't find any for the HD2 though
To the people saying so: are you sure that the LCD is stuck to the digitizer like in the Touch HD or just speculation / thinking you read it somewhere?

Hi there,
I remember seeing the inside of the HTC HD2 online once and the screen had a suction pad on in it abit like this one. Maybe you should investigate that. I will post the link if I can find it.
You may also want to check your warranty you never know.

Unlucky mate!
I've dropped mine a couple times from about waist height (6ft 4) face down on to concrete thought it was a goner but some how it survied! I feel lucky now.
Have you not got insurance to get it fixed or replaced saves hassle looks like a ***** of a device to take apart.
Good luck.

You cracked the LCD-panel underneath right? Destroying the outer Gorilla glass is nearly impossible, so I think you were incredibly unlucky.
Yeah..its gorilla glass right..how come it can be shattered??

it shatters, just like the ifags phone, its a pitty but thats a bad thing about a glass screen
Gorilla glass or not it is not that resistant. First time in my pocket with a key (I took it out immediately) and it got slightly scratched.
Gorilla Glass is far from indestructible, sure it's better than regular glass, but at the end of the day, it's still glass.
I am also curious. Can you please make a picture of the screen?

Hes right.
Drop less than 2 FEET, sitting down.
I think it wouldve been worst if I didnt have a screen protector.
First drop I ever had.
Everything else works perfectly fine.
Different phone; same glass I assume

was it difficult to change the screen?
I saw one Danish site selling the part - 40€
but after seeing a video of disassembling the phone I got a bit worried

sadly I broke mine also
everything still works, but playing angry birds can be a bloodbath
oh ya thats baad man.
i never gave into the whole gorilla glass screen. i think it is just another marketing hype that gives us another reason to tempt us into buying expensive smartphones.

Get a Samsung Galaxy S II instead if you can.
@libehv
Damn dude ! How did you do that ?!
I was filming and the thing just slipped out of my hands and fell on the right curved edge of the glass - probably got the whole situation on camera lol
edit:
ok got the preliminary bill for 60€ - they didn't know the actual price for the gorilla
but after seeing the video of opening the sucker, I thought better safe than sorry
Hi there,
I know this threat is old, but I recently crashed my phone glass, and I can't fin any replacement. I found a video on YouTube where you can see how to replace it yourself, but not the spare part itself.
The links you posted above take you to several spare parts online shops, but they don't have the P990 ones (I already asked).
So would you tell me a place, virtual or physical, where I can buy a replacement glass?
PD: I'm from Spain, so a technical service where they may fix the problem would be nice too

Doubt it's hard to fit.
You could send it to germany. Repair costs about 65 Euro (including the new screen). Look at german eBay "Optimus Speed Display Reparatur"
Optimus Speed is the german name of the 2x
If you need any help PN me
Good luck

Riskier than S4?

Hi, I live in South America, I have a brother who lives in the US and I'll be travelling soon so I was planning on upgrading my S3 and after some research I was very excited about asking him to buy me the One Developer edition.
Today I started reading here about all the quality problems that plague HTC's incredible release (gaps, scratches/dents, dead/stuck pixels, speaker problems) and I'm a bit worried because if the phone is defective or breaks afterwards I won't be able to replace it, so now I'm thinking of buying the S4, which now I think is a safer bet, but sadly it was also a safer bet from Samsung's part and I really liked the more ambicious approach that HTC made.
What do you guys think? Would you buy the One knowing that you wouldn't be able to replace it in case it is defective or breaks shortly after buying it?
Thanks.

It's cos he's in a completely different continent that he can't send it back.... Did you even read the first sentence??
I have never heard of any of those issues. One dude did post about their speaker not working, but that's the 1st case I've seen of it. I read a lot of tech blogs and I haven't see them post about arising issues.
So I feel you'll be safe. But then again, I've only read about the carrier versions and not the Dev. Editions. Why do you feel the S4 is a safer bet? Have you not read about any issues with it? What about the 16GB version only have barely 8GB of actual usable storage? LoL!!
All the problems I mentioned are from threads here im xda, and it seems that there are lots of people that have them, especially the stuck pixels problem.
They are not problems of the Dev edition, they are of the One in general.
I have read about people complaining about S4 cracked screens, but there aren't many cases considering the amount of S4s sold and it also can't be said that they are caused because of manufacturing or design problems, I also have the (maybe wrong) impression that Samsung being so much bigger and wealthier has more capacity to overengineer and exhaustively test their phones, every review talks about the HTC having a better build quality, but that only refers to the case material and not the real build quality which can't be tested just by touching it.
The storage is one of the S4 main disadvantages, but now I have a 16GB S3 with a 64GB microSD and it's not so bad, only problem is not being able to have many 1gb+ games
You'll be fine. This website is only a very tiny fraction of the total user base, and then only a few people from this website even had major problems.
those people talking about stuck or dead pixels are being to anal. most of the time you will never even know they are there unless you use an app that tests them. 468ppi on this phone. ive seen the stuck pixels thread and if you really want to complain about 1 or 2 pixels then you have never owned an lcd tv there is an allowance in the warranty for dead pixels and 1 or 2 will not get you a new tv
Show me a phone a month after its release with absolutely -0- *****es about anything being wrong with it. Its impossible. Everything has some percent of problems.
Well.. ok, I think you convinced me, it also helped that 20 minutes ago my 2 months old S3 fell from my desk to the floor and this is how it looks now:

The plastic housing and all glass front is too fragile, I don't tend to drop my phone that's why it doesn't have a case, but with these phones you drop it once and you are done
It heard you talking about buying an HTC as your next phone. So it hurled itself off the desk as a half hearted attempt at sympathy. Ive seen it a million times. Dont fall for it.
You probably decreased the odds of having one of these problems just by opening a thread on XDA wondering about these problems! XDA is a small community and remember HTC said they sold 5 million of these devices. Just don't actively look for a problem. If you do, you'll find one
