Lately my nexus 4 has been randomly losing signal, i can't seem to get 3g connecton in some places where i used to. The Wi Fi also appears to be weaker.

Besides that, the power button is also now harder to press and i takes quite a lot of tries to get it locked.

I have tried restarting it, turning on/off both the wifi and the data connection and also i tried reinstalling the latest version of Android Lollipop. The phone has always been running on stock android.

Thank you!

Everything still works, but the open hole is one more vector that moisture can enter the phone body.

Am I looking at the potentially having to harvest it off of a parts phone?

unfortunately, my LG E975 dropped out of my pocket while entering my car and landed on the threshold exactly in that moment, when I shut the door at full tilt smashing the phone. Of course the glass shattered completely and now the touchscreen is not working. I can still use the hardware keys and the LCD works quite fine, but I just can’t interact anymore with the screen. And if I tap with a bit more pressure on the screen, the LCD shows signs of pressure, too.

To get a better understanding for me in general: There is the LCD, which has no touch functionality and only shows the image. On top of the LCD sits the glass with the digitizer build in. The digitizer registers the fingers on the glass and sends signals over the digitizer flex cable to the processor, which then changes the image on the LCD. Is this correct?

Although my phone is quite old, it runs better than ever before (now with Android 5.1), so I actually don’t want to buy a new phone. I’ve never repaired a phone before, but I like doing things by myself and there are some guides online. Anyways, I have nothing to lose and get the chance to gain experience for other phones in the future.

Now there are two options for me on ebay:

Buying only the glass with the digitizer flex cable (ca. 15€) or buying the glass with a full new LCD (>60€)?

Because the LCD is still working, could I actually just go for the cheap glass to regain the touchscreen functionality?

But does the glass offer always contains a digitizer? I don’t want to get just a useless glass cover for the LCD from a cheap Asian reseller..

How difficult and risky will it be to separate the glass and the LCD?

And could it be possible, that the LCD got still damaged when it got smashed by the door? How can I check this? In this case I will of course replace the whole display..

Many questions, I hope you can help me at least with some! I’m also planning to create a guide for iFixit in this occasion, if the replacement will be successful.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I have made a LCD replacement with the guide. But when I turn on the phone, I see strange colors on the screen (check attached image).

I have even tried with different working LCDs, checked if connections were well seated,.. same problem.

Can you tell me what could be the problem?

And by the way, if there's something I could test or change?

Thank you very much.

A few days ago i noticed that the screen didn't rotate by it self. If got some apps to test the sensors but they said that there was no gyroscope. Is it possible to fix it? If there is, how?

Yours faithfully,

Patrick

I recently took my phone in to a local repair shop because i had purchased the parts but wanted a professional to fix it. I purchased these parts http://www.ebay.com/itm/390820196566?ssP.... The man told me that they could not replace it because the parts to fix an LG G2 come in one piece not 2. This made no sense to me because other people said they replaced their phone fine.

I am just really confused and don't know what to do anymore. I don't know if i need to replace just the Digitizer or the LCD and Digitizer. Thank you for your time.

I’m hoping someone in iFixit has encountered this and knows what’s wrong with it.

Thanks in advance,
