LG G2: LG d802 lcd replacement!

Wed, 05 Aug 2015 11:51:26 -0700

Hi everyone,

I have a LG G2 D802 to repair with broken screen and I just recently bought a digitizer & lcd assembly based on the model number written on the phone's battery door. Part that I received has shorter connector compare to the original LCD connector. I saw G2 D801 has same connector as the phone that I have but battery door on the phone says that it's the D802 . I really appreciate if some one can tell please how to find out what LCD I should get for this phone

LG Stylo 5: Are the screen/digitizers on Stylo 5 & Stylo 4 interchangeable?

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 17:36:27 -0700

I’ve been told by YTer Joe Cox that the screen units on LG Stylo 4 & 5 are the exact same part. Does anyone have any knowledge about this to verify?

I have a Stylo 4 with a great screen & caput charging port, and a Stylo 5 in great condition except for a shattered but still working screen.

Before I go to the trouble to try to remove the good screen (without destroying it) & put it on the other, I want to check to see if anyone else has thoughts/confirmation/suggestions.

LG Stylo 4 plus: I have a broken screen but I have a second stylo 4 on another carrier

Sun, 28 Dec 2025 01:48:48 -0700

Since I have the 2 phones can I just switch the motherboard and sim to the other stylo since it would be a lot easier than removing both screens to replace the broken one. The second phone is on another carrier and I cannot get that company to unlock to port over. Will this work or Will I have to change the screens

Nexus 5X: Looking for Nexus 5x Schematics

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 02:32:28 -0700

I have a Nexus 5x that won't charge because of water damage. I opened it up and it looks like there might be damage on the quick charge circuit but I don't know what to test for. I need some schematics to see what parts are supposed to be capacitors and what parts are filters or resistors. I have tested the battery connectors on the motherboard and I don't have any voltage there. Also the place where the quick charge chip is heats up when it's plugged in. Does any one know where I can get schematics for a Nexus 5x? I can't seem to find them anywhere on the internet.

Nexus 5: Camera's pictures quality awful after screen replacement

Mon, 22 May 2023 14:40:13 -0700

Hello,

I just replaced my wife screen after drop damage. It's one of the easiest phone to fix and replace. everything went back to normal except the image quality are terrible now for rear camera. I don't know what happened! Color, brightness and glare all weird. I checked the housing plate and the lens from inside everything looks in place even ribbons. All I can see there is not good light controlling.

Front camera is giving me natural colors better than the rear, and even nexus 4 rear camera is much better and I easily can tell the different!!!

Any ideas will help is appreciated,

Thanks,

LG G2: Best glue for attaching screen to phone?

Sun, 19 Mar 2023 15:49:02 -0700

My friend gave me his wife's old g2 that she dropped and shattered the digitizer. I bought a brand new pre assembled lcd/digitizer so all I'd have to do is use some 2mm tape and press it in to place. I'm now having an issue where from about the middle on the phone to the bottom is lifting around the edges. I thought I might have done a poor job with the tape so I went in and re did it 2 times now and still the same results. I'm wondering since the factory screen had this black glue like substance holding the screen in what can I use to mimic that and the results. I've read super glue was a bad idea because it gets between the LCD and digitizer. I also saw some one suggested gorilla glue epoxy (the 3300 psi stuff) I'm not worried with replacing the assembaly again in the event I drop my phone before I get a case. I'll just get the frame with the screen. Thanks in advance.

LG K7: Phone no longer connects to cellular service after restart.

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 11:21:31 -0700

A few days ago, I restarted my phone after clearing some data on my device in an attempt to save storage (my phone was warning that my storage was low, so I deleted the phone's cache and the "Android" selection in the storage's "Miscellaneous" grouping after making sure all apps and/or media that could be stored on the SD card was.). As it finished rebooting, I noticed it failed to play the T-Mobile jingle as it normally would while rebooting. Upon completing the reboot, the lock screen displayed "Service Disabled" and the cellular service bars on the upper-righthand corner showed no connection. Settings won't allow me to turn on my mobile network, or even select it as it's now grayed out. It does not recognize what mobile network it should be connected to in the "About Phone" section of Settings. Additionally, the phone will not play any audio from any source, despite audio being on in the settings. It won't play ringtones, notification alerts, alarms, etc. It won't even play video files with audio in any applications (showing playback errors or just failing to play despite loading the file), in addition to locally stored videos.

I have tried restarting the device, removing and reinserting the SIM card and then restarting the device, and I just completed a factory reset, all to no avail. I am unsure of how this failure has occurred. I had believed it was a software issue, but after the factory reset I now assume it must be hardware related. I have no idea what the problem could be, or what steps I should do to fix it. I have disassembled my phone to see if anything seems amiss or damaged. The headphone jack seemed loose where it rested, but I didn't notice it until a ways into disassembly and can't rule out that it became dislodged from said disassembly. Besides a normal amount of human refuse from years of use, nothing seemed out of the ordinary in the phone's internals. Short of replacing the motherboard, I'm stumped. Any help would be much appreciated.

LG Phoenix 5: Anyone know a company that can unlock these?

Mon, 10 Apr 2023 22:18:24 -0700

I have a pair of LG Phoenix 5 (AT&T locked) I bought some time back as spare phones. These use the Device Unlock app. I tried once, and the first company I tried earlier this year couldn’t get it done. At this point, I blame these phones since they are being so difficult. At the time I got them, I was still using AT&T so it was a non-issue. My new issue with these is I am now on T-Mobile since I am done with the AT&T pricing.

Has anyone found a company that can reliably handle these Device Unlock phones? I mean worst case scenario I can sell them and I think I have a potential candidate if it can’t be done. These have been nothing but a nightmare as nobody does Device Unlock phones, and the company I tried couldn't do it.

LG G5: Replacement 16mp rear camera is unfocused and "nodding"

Sat, 28 Aug 2021 12:59:56 -0700

The replacement camera focus is stuck and blurry, the quality looks arguably worse, and it "nods".

When I hold the camera still, the camera shifts downwards then back to the centre (when holding portrait-view-- left/right in landscape). You can see the camera lens move if you look directly at it.

I'm not sure what to do to fix this, or did I get a faulty one? When I opened the package, the camera was at the bottom of the box and not cushioned in-between the packing material so could it have been damaged during shipping.

LG Power: How to turn on USB Debugging (Power button broken, and phone off)

Fri, 02 Apr 2021 02:27:11 -0700

Hello. First of all, thank you for reading this.

My issue is that I want to turn on USB debugging so I can use ADB to turn on my phone, since my phone died and my phone's power button is broken. But, I cant use ADB since I didn't enable USB Debugging in the first place. Is there a way to turn on USB Debugging without using a power button and turning on my phone? This happened when I accidentally put my phone in a deep puddle. After that, my back panel got wet and then my power button wouldn't respond anymore.

Thanks for reading
