I want to sell my 4x because the rotation is broken because of water damage, anywhere that gives a decent price?

Is it the accelerometer sensor? Did you run the test with the HiddenMenu?
If so, you can get a replacement and solder it in yourself. :good:

You have a guide for this? And is the accelerometer cheap?

Did a little search and I found that the sensor can't be replaced as a lone part but with headphone jack and the flex cable. If it actually is this sensor you could head over to eBay and buy one

Cheers but I believe this is the PROXIMITY sensor not the accelerometer, plus the listing has ended

Oh damn I was so excited I actually found something that I didn't notice that
Otherwise I didn't saw any replacement parts for the accelerometer anywhere, just some repair services which offer the replacement of those sensors.

@@non4 As a matter of fact, I do. =D The sensor is an Integrated chip under the name MPU-6050 made by Invensense. It costs about 7-20 euro depending where you will source it from.
This is its datasheet.
There is a specific procedure dictated from LG in the service manual in order to test the hardware operation prior to replacement. Better disassemble the phone and take it to an electronics repair center with this info and not try it by yourself.
I have attached the procedure in this post.
Hope this helps and everything turns out OK.
P.S.: Before messing with the hardware verify that the sensor is really not working. Making a sacrifice and flashing a stock based ROM for the hidden menu helps a lot as there are some diagnostics in there for the motion sensor.
***edit: In the workflow diagram there is a mistake, where is says "Change the LCD", replace it with "Change the LDO". LDO stands for Low-Dropout Regulator.

You can use it as an alpha/beta testing device. That way, May be you can help in developments of our awsome developers in some ways..

I broke my battery cover when trying to take it off. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement for it? I called Samsung and they do not sell the part individually.

It would be helpful to know which Nexus S you have. There are several model #'s and they are a little different.
Check global parts direct. You have to buy a minimum amount though and I don't think they come with the nfs chip.

I don't whether you are in the UK or not but I just picked up a genuine battery cover (with NFC antenna) from ebay from a trader called dew_trading. £16+p&p.
edit: it was for a I9020 and he's showing as having 5 left.
If you're in the US, make sure to try again and tell them that you want a warranty replacement for a broken back cover-- not that you just want to buy a regular replacement.
I know it sounds stupid, but I got the same line a bunch of times when I called. I had to ask to be transferred to the Warranty department and be sort of insistent that my cover was broken, and I needed it replaced under warranty etc etc. It should only cost you like $16 through that avenue.

Hi guys,
I have a the White version of the Optimus Black (I know its oxymoron but lol) and I want to swap the housing for the phone. Are the sellers on ebay ok to buy such things from? Are there any other, maybe more reliable, retailers I could get the housing from?
What are the chances that the phone will not work when the housing is changed or does it even matter?

Why don't you try your local LG service center, if they dont have it, you can always place a request as i did as i ordered a back cover.

So my screen just broke and i'm in doubt between buying an aftermarket screen for about $20 and repairing it, or just say f*** this unstable piece of crap and buy the optimus 4x speed. So what would you do? Any suggestions for other phones? Any review on aftermarket screens? How easy is it to replace?
Thanks for your help and suggestions in advance,
Sincerely,
you're buying 4x? LOL you're buying a phone that doesn't have developers support, lock bootloader and no custom rom i visit 4x section sometimes but their development section is empty, i suggest send your o2x on lg to repair or search on youtube "how to disassemble optimus 2x"
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
It depends on how addicted you are to flashing roms. If you don't mind stable roms, and probably a very very slow 4.1 update, get the 4x.
If you simply need updates and the newest OS, repair the 2x. Honestly though, I think it wouldn't go as far as the 4x in terms of eventual updates, but still, it's nice to be able to modify your phone.
Yes i didn't notice the lack of custom Roms on the 4x this afternoon, so what phone would you buy? I mean the price of the 4x is awesome for the hardware you get, and if i'm able to root it i'm happy. But i also like to flash custom roms alot so do any of you know a good alternative instead of the 4x for the same pricE? Locked bootloader is kinda sucky .
I would really like to repair my 2x but i'm so tired of it and afraid that if i do change the screen i'll wreck the entire thing, and i'm not sure i wanna take the risk or just buy a new phone
Nexus 4. Don't know if it's cheaper or costlier in your country, but it's generally much cheaper. Beats the 4x easily in all fields, the only thing it lacks is a memory card slot. Availability is an issue at the moment, but if you can get your screen repaired for cheap now, then you can sell it after some time and get a nexus
I had the same problem. Repair the touch screen is very complicated, not because it's difficult disassemble the phone, but because the real display is glued to the touch screen with a particular clue. When you try to remove the display you can break it. It happened to me.
Repair and sell !

A couple of weeks ago I dropped my P990 onto asphalt and broke the glass. I taped it up using scotch tape to avoid glass splinters in my ears, and I'm just about getting used to all the cracks by now. I won't be trying to repair it, so I've got a nexus 4 on preorder. Hopefully it'll arrive before the tape crumbles...
Tl;dr: buy a nexus 4
This is a great reason to go get galaxy s3
Nexus 4! Don't bother with the 4x
They don't sell Nexus 4 in my country, because of LG, so yeah that sucks
I could get a Galaxy Nexus for about the same price
+1 for nexus 4 (except if you are addicted in slow updates and lg ui so go for optimus G(same hardware but i think quite costier))

Yeah but is it Gorilal glass? They say it's OEM in most cases, but don't specify wich type of glass this is. Last time i bought a replacement screen was for my X10 wich also was supposedly OEM but when installed i found out it was some kind of cheap plastic wich would never work comfortably as a touch screen. And it looks too complicated i would have to buy a hobby knife 3 sets of tweezer and a hair dryer only to switch the screen on my phone

I broke the screen on my HD2, ordered one online for 15-20e , found a guy that repairs them, got friendly making mobile phones conversation and he changed it for 20e, sold the hd2 for 200e(I now regret it though) I would sell the o2x if course, it's nice but not the hd2. I actually am selling it

Me too, my screen was broken. I repaired at a workshop with 30 euros. The changed screen was old, taken from another phone ...
I also broke my screen and I had it replaced at a workshop. After the repair, the light sensor was not working so I had to return it to the workshop and wait another 3 day before they finally fix it.
The repair process including the new(?) screen was around 80Euro (~105$).
Get a new phone, upgrade excuse.
I got it replaced in a little Phone repair shop, they did a good Job, it cost 140 euro, but we got it back from ensurance because it happend on a holiday

As some people already said, it's the perfect excuse for getting a Nexus 4. You'll have a lot more support than with the 4X considering it's an official Nexus phone.
hey guys, I have a really quick Q for u. Is it possible to only replace the Digitizer/Glas on the One? They sell em for really cheap and because my screen still works fine after droping it (hell even the Digitizer still works!) I hoped that i can just replace it. The search doesn't show any result when I type in things like Display Digitizer etc. Did anyone attempted this? I saw some people replacing just the Glass on a Galaxy S4 on YouTube but there are only a few really poor videos on YouTube about the HTC One.

No, don't bother trying. The digitiser/glass is fused/bonded to the LCD and is very, very difficult to separate, so you'd just be wasting your time. Buy the whole LCD/digitiser assembly, and you'll be good

They're probably torn apart for good.. Try if you wanna, but it isn't recommended. There was an article on the xda portal about this a few weeks ago. You should read that to know about all the risks involved..

it's not a matter of Faith it's just facts .. have you ever separated a digitizer from glass or an lcd ? it's an 11 on a scale of 10 in difficulty
if you tried it 100 times you would get maybe one working one.
and you have one chance to get it right .. good luck
I went to a cellphone repair center yesterday to get an iPhone's digitizer replaced, and I asked one of the guys who worked there if they fixed HTC One's too, and he said "no those phones are on our blacklist, you try to fix one thing you'll end up breaking something else." I think it's best to no try to open up this device. I know how you feel though, you really want to try to fix it on your own, but I can tell you from experience, some devices aren't meant to come apart, let alone put back together properly.

I know that somebody else from here posted a 3D file on thingverse. A simple search should help you.
There's also another method shown on Youtube, as a last resort, I guess. But the risk of damaging the plastic door seems high. YMMV
