Hello all...
Does anyone know how to open a Kaiser? I've got all the tools but I just can't find how to open it to replace the LCD screen.
Thanks.

Mario.

After many hours I got to open the Kaiser without causing any damage.
Tips:
- To remove the screen you just need to remove the 4 screws from behind the moving part.
- Be carefull because when you remove the cover there's a silver tiny screw connected to the speaker that you need to remover or you'll cause damage to the speaker and videoconferencing camera.
- I just used: T6, T4 and Phillips screwdrivers.
I'm posting some pictures.
Hope this helps to someone else...

currently trying right now (so i can see which connector i have) 4 screws are out but nothing seems to have losened up for removal
After removing the 4 screws you'll need a very thin tool to insert it between the screen cover and the screen casing. You have to be very carefull not to damage the cover, and make sure not to pull the cover too hard because you'll need to remove the speaker board screw first.
To remove the cover with the thin tool I started at the top and bottom of the device and then slided it over the whole device until the cover got loose.
Hope this helps...

Thanks for your help, looking to acquire a plastic tool for that...dont' want to use anything metalic and increase the risk of damaging anything more
I can't tell from the detail of the pictures, but how "integrated" is the front camera? Is it something I can possibly just "snap in" on my Tilt, or does a whole section have to be modified? I don't mind the idea of dremeling in a hole on the front panel.
Anyone know how I can quickly obtain the front camera and required connections/circuitry to apply it to my Tilt?
Hey Mario, Does this mean you didn't send in you Kaiser to HTC? I assume u went thru NJbridges. If so, are you up and running now? (determining what I should do)
I would also like to know how plausible it would be to add a front camera to the tilt.
What kind of connection is it?
Where can we get the part?
Hello all,
When removing the front cover you have to be carefull because the borad that holds the camera and the speaker is scrwed to the cover and if you pull it too hard you'll break the cables.
I went thru njbridges and I'm waiting for the replacement LCD, it's supposed to be here on Monday or Tuesday. I'll let you know the results. IMPORTANT: There are two LCD models differentiated by the color of the cable and connector, make sure you check that before ordering.
I didn't send my device to HTC because I live in Mexico and I needed a US address, plus they said the replacement could cost between $170 and $370 and I think they don't have the replacement LCD's in stock yet.
If you have a Tilt I don't think you'll be able to add a front camera to it.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards,
Mario.
Thanks Mario, still haven't fount a proper tool to open it as of yet. But please keep me posted on if you got you TyTn II working with the new screen, I have the same feeling about HTC US and the screen. got two different answers on two different calls.

So there is two LCD models? That explains why my replacement Tilt (which I sent back because I did not like, waiting for another) had a screen with a weired greenish tint to it.
Dude where did you get your LCD screen replacement? What's NJBRIDGES? Googled it but couldn't find a link. I need one badly!
Is this a universal LCD screen? Can I use older LCD screens from Blue Angel? Hermes? Etc?

no its not universal so don't bother trying to connect an older LCD to it.

Hey is it not just cheeper to sell it on ebay and get a kaiser? But i didnt message u to make fun of u lol i was really interested in knowing why you would need a front camera on a tilt? I am assuiming you are using it with ATT (I have a MDA VARIO III which has the front camera and plan to use it with ATT) and I thought they dont support Video Telephony...or do they now?
Hey Mario,
Just checking if you had any progress with this yet.
Hello,
I just came back from my trip and the UPS package with the new LCD was waiting for me...
I replaced the LCD in about 30 minutes and so far I've been using my Kaiser for about 3 hours without any problems.
I got my LCD screen from njbridges.
Happy again!!!!
Regards,
Mario.

Mario, I live in Mexico too. Do you the settings for a Telcel data connection? I went into the Telcel office in Merida and they said "we´ll have to take the phone in for two days, and then maybe"...yeah right!!!!!!
It´ll stop the damned annoying message that keeps poping up too!

perfect i will put my focus on getting the tool to open and then order the screen
what colour was ur connector
Anybody sell something like this, I think it would help keep the shiny look of the phone. Random I know, just bored and thinking out loud
Verizon sells glossy back doors in white and red, but not black. The white and red are on clearance, though, so if you're interested, stop into a Verizon Wireless store and ask for them. (You have to ask, as they won't be on display.) They should be less than $10.

I listed these in the For Sale section but figured you guys would have interest.
Click here to check em out.
There's a white and black both barely used great condition.
I am interested and what are the requirements to receive it ?
I just sold the white one for 15. If you interested in the black let me know. I'm sure we can set something up.
is there a chance to get my IncS complete in white? the back cover in white looks great but i guess it doesnt look nice with a black front.
The link doesn't work for me. Link a picture please.
Hi. Do you still have the black one?
is the white 1 still available?

Quite fancy the red one - but how do you change the front cover? My workmanship skills extend only to changing the occasional lightbulb...
Look and learn

Paint front face?
By the way, I have detached the front facing case(only the frame around the screen). Beacuse it was streched a little.
Now the question is, can I paint this part. And if possible how
I'm looking to replace a broken N5.
I'm thinking black Front/red Rear with black buttons or all black with silver buttons, but i'd like to know if the X+1 is supposed to be larger or not. If so then I'll definitely get the X as I'm not a fan of phones over 5in.
Also is there a thread of peoples Signatures they had put on it? I'd like ideas.

No one know for sure, but the rumor is that the X+1 will be larger. That is still to be determined though. The current X is an excellent size though, and the red back with black buttons sounds pretty slick.
As for your second question, I don't know if there is a thread specifically for signatures (I haven't seen one), but there is one to show off the custom MotoMaker designs located in the General thread (here's the link, it was on the second page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/custom-motomaker-moto-xs-t2539033) and people generally post pictures that include their signatures.

This isn't a hundred percent of course but says possibly a 5.2" screen. I just ordered my x a couple days ago can't wait

I also have a M8 and i switch back and forth all the time. I like how fast my moto x is and the size.
I'm on the fence as well I got rid of my moto X for the LG g3. And I miss my X but I do not.know if I should pull the trigger or wait for the X1
Hi Guys,
after putting one of these QI receivers with adhesive on my P9 and having it there for a few month, the back cover got a slight dent. Nothing major but it reeaaally bugs me. I have the P9 in grey but after seeing the blue one i figured i wanted to replace the back side with the blue one. The problem is: I can not find it anywhere. The colours available from release are all there, even the red one shows up here and there but not the blue one. Has anyone of you guys seen it around anywhere?

hi,
you can not replace the back cover as it is a unibody phone. meaning you would have to remove the entire screen, motherboard and transfer it into another empty uniboday frame

This is just not true! Look up some teardown videos or so you can do this! Maybe you missunderstood but i want to replace the whole grey part

it is true and i totally understood what you said. But the grey part is a unibody metal piece that can not be simply removed as if it was the BACK COVER of a samsung galaxy s2 which allows you to put in/take out the sim card, battery and micro sd card.
Probably easier too buy a skin from dBrand
As aceclift said, you can just take back cover from another phone and just put it there. If you actually watched those teardown and read what they said about it, its unibody that contain few major components, and you actually need to put all internals from your device, including most tricky part, the screen, to that new housing.
And I can say that looking and your approach to that question, you would fail to disassemble your device and replace that housing, because its not "plug&play" you need some knowledge, experience and patience to do this.
Also Blue and Red versions of P9 are actually really exclusive versions, and its hard to get them(I wanted red so trust me I searched for it for some time). So if its hard to find actuall phone, finding housing from it its almost impossible.
As telsims said, its better and cheaper to buy Dband skin::

I made one my self with carbon fiber look and its amazing, so if you bought one it would be even better.

I had a Dbrand skin on it for a while but i just did not like at and the blue just looks amazing. I don't know, where you see the difficulties here. I mean you unscrew two screws get the assembled unit out of the frame and disconnect the fingerprint sensor. Done. You can buy the unibody in the other colours including the fingerprint sensor and the you just connect the fingerprint sensor put the unit back in and insert the screws. I once replaced the screen from a HTC One X and that was a lot more complicated.
I mean look at the ending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDPRtzjqSlo its just that last three steps.
original back housing of Huawei P9
If you want to change the skin of Huawei P9, replace the back housing of Huawei p9. I followed the video of witrigs to replace the back housing. It looks great. Blue is the best color!

Thank you a lot! But as you guessed it's not relevant anymore. I am on the P20 Pro for two weeks now and sold my good old p9 today. But again thanks for reaching out!
