Slider tighten/Hinges - already searched - not 4 hinge screws!

Any way to tighten up the hinge mechanism and slider rails? Yes I've searched and the 4 screws on the hinge will not tighten up the resistance to tilt up/down only if the screen/body wobbles alot.
Today replaced my entire front housing/middle section and thankfully the phone works perfectly so far aside from looking like it was just unboxed. But -- I would have liked to tighten the hinges. Didn't fully disassemble the slider mechanism and totally remove the sim card holder. Read the full HTC SERVICE guide and looked at the photos couldn't see if there is a couple of screws beneath that apply pressure to the hinge plate. Tighting the rails looks like its impossible - ANY INSIGHT to either would be helpful.
UPDATE: Found a fully detailled photo of a slider and it looks like a screw just above the hinge in the photo - is this the screw to apply more pressure? I'm a little hesitant in popping off the sim reader since it looks like its double faced to the slider. Will post the picture tomorrow.

Have done a Hermes multiple times - but the KAISER is a royal pain to strip down and put back together.

Battery door smudge proofing/texturising possible?

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas for making the back cover of my i9000 less oily?
I have been using a case for a long time partly because my galaxy back constantly gets oily from my hands, but I really want to go slim and case-free now!
EDIT: might see if i can track down some of this plasti-dip stuff http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881062

i think a replacement back cover is your best bet
unless you go through the hassle of sanding it down, buffing it up, smoothing it out, painting it... Not worth it, get a new cover. loads to choose from

Thanks, looks nice!

I had the same problem with hands sweating holding was quite risky. I bought a silicon rubber cover with rough dotted surface which gives you good grip & no marks on the back plate.

Well, you can always put grip tape on it. That will solve the slippery issue and the fingerprint issue.
But it might make a hole in your pocket

Tried replacing my screen, need some advice

I think I'm out of luck but I figured I'd post here before giving up on it. Cracked my screen, got a replacement, when I was putting it back together I accidentally broke the plastic part that covers the pins that hold the screen cable in place (see the picture). I am guessing I need an entire new motherboard.

I thought it was that clip that released the connector, it clearly wasn't. This off itself wasn't actually an issue, I got the phone all the way back together and working when I realized I didnt use enough tape to hole the screen to the frame and it was coming apart. When I was putting the phone back together I accidentally bent one of the pins on the connector and that was the end of it. I tried carefully bending it back it only made it worse. I was beyond frustrated to have spent about $200 and 20 hours (I originally tried a LOCA glass replacement and cut one of the ribbons while trying to separate the cracked glass) to fix the thing and 1 bent pin turned the entire thing to a paperweight.
Please save your "should have let a professional do it" comments.

On the bright side at-least now your papers will not fly around on a windy day.

Modifying the OEM charger - what's inside?

So I changed my band yesterday but it's a bit too chunky to fit on the charger flush. I love the strap and don't want to change it to a slimmer one - I just wondered if anyone had cracked open the charger to see what's inside. Ultimately what I want to be able to do is shave off a 22mm wedge from the top and bottom to allow the strap to fit into it - but I don't know if there's anything critical in there which might interfere with it...

Cracked mine open, y'know, for science.

Looks like I could quite happily do what I need with no issue other than making it look ugly. However, turns out that I can make the watch fit without it...so this internal image is just a bonus for those interested. Disassembly is easy.
Peel off the rubber ring from the bottom.
There are 3 tiny crosshead screws to remove. Then it's a case of inserting a thin screwdriver in between the outside and inside parts and prising it open. There are little notches which you can use to get purchase on it. That's pretty much it.

Front design peeling from the inside of the screen

I'm not exactly sure how to describe the issue as I do not know the correct terminology.
I have a Samsung Note 5. During disassembly to replace the battery, the corners of the design on the front have peeled away from the inside of the front assembly. That is, the inside of the glass panel of the front.
Before. Note the gold decal of the front screen, the gold design around the display, and especially the corners (pink) to the left and right of the speaker. This is a picture from before the battery was replaced. Looking at the left corner, the decal was already beginning to peel off. Unfortunately, it got worse. The edge indicated by the green line is the screen protector.

After the replacement of the battery:
and now also the right and bottom corners have begun to peel away from the inside of the screen:
I discovered the issue while reassembling the phone after the replacement and tried to push the decal back against the screen, but whatever made it stick to it isn't working anymore.
I would appreciate advice.
