Broke my Kaiser :(

So as the title suggests, my Kaiser is pretty much broken. Well, sorta, the phone itself works; but the LCD screen is cracked Here's a picture of the wreckage:

So I have two questions:
1. What's a good program that I can use to backup all my stuff on the phone ( the stuff on the internal memory, like the programs, today screen styles, etc.).
2. Is it possible to buy a replacement LCD screen for the phone and crack open the phone myself and install a new screen? This might be a little easier then having to go through AT&T to get a whole new phone.
Thanks for reading, guys, and I hope you can help me out

For sure you can....

1). Search these forums for mymobiler. Install on your pc. It will give you access to your phone and you can download/unload everything.
2). Search these forums for cracked or replacement screen. I recall seeing several threads concerning replacement of the screen.

Wow, a quick search in eBay gave me this! It seems legit, should I go ahead and order it???

The link doesnt work for me but Ive already replaced 2 lcds, 1 on a wing and one on a tilt with ebay replacement lcds so there are definitely legit seller on there.

oOps, I fixed the link

I broke my screen on last Thursday and the MyMobiler program saved me from having to buy a new phone right away. Although I have used the phone so much I can pretty much still make phone calls blind, the MyMobiler program helped a bunch.
I ordered my new screen today from blackberry8100parts.com. I got some info from the forums here and they seem legit. Hell, they even provide a coupon code (which is XDA) for us to get 10% off. Thanks.
I will post again after I get the screen with how things work out. Right now it is $47 (not including 10% discount) + ~$7 shipping. It is the complete LCD + Touchscreen + digitizer. They have one without the digitizer as well for the same price. I was expecting much more. Now I hope my install goes well. Oh, that website also has the Tilt / Kaiser service manual for download too.
Here is the link to the screen with the digitizer.

I got the screen in this past weekend and followed the HTC service manual with a little help from another website and everything went very smoothly.
I decided to disassemble the entire Tilt rather than the 4 screw method I have read about here on XDA. Partially because I wanted to do it correctly and partially because I want to see the insides.
I was a little nervous about using the plastic pry tool (comes with screen) to get the case off but if you follow the insertion points that they list in the guide everything comes apart quite nice and goes back together just as easy.
My Tilt has come back from the dead!

Would not Soti Pocket Controller work as well? However, it's not free.

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

me too!
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

So i shattered my screen on my phone and have been looking into buying a new digitizer but I have not been able to find any guides/videos for doing so. Has anyone had success repairing a cracked screen?
I read on a forum on a different site that someone was attempting to replace the screen but that when it came time to separate the screen from the bezel it got hairy.
Any help would be much appreciated. Using the original blackjack in the meantime and it is killing me!

Here's a video for motorola A855. Not the same but a good starting point. There's more videos to look thru. Read the comments as well, they should be helpful. One dude said he successfully did it with a phillips screwdriver without taking it all apart. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Awesome thanks for the link. I will be ordering the screen within the next couple days and will post results.
If at all possible I will try to upload a youtube video of the process specific to the xt720.

I also broke the touch, as you have you got mounted?
you made the video ....?
know of a link somewhere manually?
hello thanks.

no I didn't make the video, I haven't even used this or broke my screen. Was just trying to help with an Idea. Let us know how it goes if you order one and maybe make your own video? or tutorial.

So what's the verdict? Did you order one?

unfortunately I have not had the chance to mess with it yet. I ordered it and its at my house, I am just trying to find the time to break everything down. I also made the mistake of buying a vibrant 4g before I fixed it so I have been even more preoccupied with that. I will try to post results this weekend. Sorry for the delay

Interesting. I want to get one of those. However in my case, its the glass part of the touchscreen thats broken i.e. all touch are still registered as if nothing is wrong. Do I need a digitizer or just a replacement glass lens.? Or is it just one big planel (glass lens + touch digitizer)?

Sister smashed phone on rocky beach

Hello guys.
Since my sister smashed my phone roughly 9 days ago on a rocky beach ->

It felt on the screen and then went back up in the air for about 30cm +/- and went on its back wich gave small dots on the plastic cover.
The screen itself survived (The screen is though as hell! , she smashed it hard!)
Now my phone is stuck a lot, and sometimes the picture (projectable screen) moves over the screen (fisical one) like if it doesnt know its place.
Now i contacted samsung wich says i had to go to http://site.e-care.nl/nl/pages/home to let it be picked up.
But no respond for a long time.
And Samsung keeps pushing to make a date for them to pick it up.
Does anybody know here if my phone is broken on the internals?
Or might it be something else?
And anybody know what to do with samsung?
I do have an insurance, but does it have to go that far?
Also for all customers.
This phone is a though rock. No other phone would have survived this at all. Maby an old Nokia :good:
Greetings
Mitch

I'd deffo say that's a hardware issue for the service centre to look at, not that i think it'll make the slightest difference, but have you tried taking the battery out and sticking it back in?
Swyped from my finger to your face, on my Samsung Galaxy Note.

It pops up now and then, did not had a chance to make a picture yet.
But see it like this.
You have an tv, and it projects a screen.
That screen goes from the top to down and back to the top and down and back to the top again.
Just like some roadcommercial signs.
Its rolling through the screen.
Or it shows pink/magenta/green screen instead of all colours.

First why would your sister smash a 500 usd phone that doesn't belong to her...
Second your internals might be broken..
Third why don't you have a case
Forth if your sister does not have money and you don't have insurance make your parents to pay either for a replacement or a full repair including new housing..
That's what I'd do

She turned around at wanted to hit me, but instead she slammed the phone with mach 3.
My case was off because i was in the hot sun and my phone was already overheating thanks to ICS 4.0.4... Did not want it to burn away.
And that site wich Samsung provided doesnt respond at all...
Samsung keeps hammering i must contact them to let my phone be picked up.
Jeeeez, Sony mark 2?

The phone does have thermal protection.. If it reaches temperatures it can't handle it will just turns off... You don't need to worry about that

Issue with camera and flash?

I'm having issues when using the camera with the flash. There is a huge glare across every picture I take.

Good God! Looks awful! Make sure the lens is not scratched or dusty.

Could a case be interfering with the flash?

I thought it might be the case but that is "not the case". The interesting thing is this only happens with the flash. It looks fine when I take a picture without the flash.

I think you should return it, it could be that there is a small hole next to the camera lens so the light from the flash is "leaking" into the lens directly.

So to follow up... I have talked to Motorola support 3 times and sent them images twice. Friday they told me that I had to call back and get level 2 support. Saturday they called me back and asked for the photos again and then they told me they would call back on monday. Monday they didn't call back so I called them and they told me to call Verizon. Thanks Motorola for standing behind your product. I had a totally different experience with the 2013 Moto X and support. Something has changed.

I have the exact same problem. I sent my phone to support 3 days ago.
I'm still waiting for an answer from them. I hope they fix the problem.
Here are some pictures I took (with and without flash): https://plus.google.com/115953391459142635379/posts/gi94rki7KBQ

So we were the lucky ones. My guess that we will see many more instances of this. Verizon is sending me a new phone and it should be here Thursday. I'm interested to hear how yours works out.

Verizon sent me a "certified like new" replacement today and it looks like new and pictures with the flash seem to work. I also heard back from Motorola via phone and google+ and they were interested in getting to the root of the problem but now I have to send the phone back to Verizon. Maybe the can get the phone from Verizon.....
