Looks like an external antenna connection port.

Thanks for the replies,
Is there a possibility to replace this part?
I think i kinda broke it...
I thought it was a reset button (Fail to me ...)
Now I have bad connection/no connection at all..

Yea, heat gun it and solder a new one on.
DON'T stick anything in, I repeat, DON'T stick anything in that hole, i know it's tempting to fulfill your sexual urges, but please DON'T, you won't like it.

I've been searching over the web for a galaxy nexus antenna connecting port(not sure how you should call it) and I can't find a site where I can buy a replacement part...
Do you know where I can find one?

Person, i don't understand you, you buy a phone which has the capability to bake cookies,make coffie,wash dishes but is limited by the manufacturer and/or network, its like buying a sports car that has been limited to 30 mph, the first thing you should do to is is remove the limiter.

[TEMPLATE] Google Employee Battery Cover

Wasn't sure exactly where to put this, so mods feel free to move this thread if necessary.
I recently saw this thread with custom laser engraved battery covers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474014
I also was aware of the limited edition google employee battery cover. I figured since they are either ridiculously priced/nowhere to be found, that I would just remake the template so that people could get it done if they wanted too. A few of the icons had to be custom made because I could not find them, but everything is very close. Revisions can always be made later (or by you) if you choose.
I'm sure this template could be used for a number of things, so I figured themes & apps was the most appropriate place to post it. I left the edges to the side icons on also, so if you plan on using this for the engraving, make sure you take care of them.

How they line up:
Awesome.
Any ideas where to get it etched?
I'm not sure I'd want this particular battery cover, but does anyone know of a way of getting other battery covers for the LTE Galaxy Nexus? Custom etching would be nice, but mainly I'd be happy with anything that doesn't have the damn Verizon logo.

There are 2 people in the link I posted who have websites/etch custom designs.

Will Verizon Warranty My Nexus?

About a week ago I started having the same issue as the person who started this thread:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25020-screen-pixelated/
Now my question is, I have a ding in the casing of my phone that happened long before the screen issues. Would Verizon warranty my phone even with the ding in it? Seeing how the screen problems aren't related to the ding? And if they were to, would they charge me full retail for the replacement phone once they get my old one and see the ding?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Here's a picture of the ding in case anyone asks.
It looks worse in the picture than it really is.

Bad thread URL, bro. But for them to deny warranty work, they have to prove that the ding is related, so I would say you are good, as long as you arent taking it to them for the ding.

Thanks for the catch.
That's a little bigger than a "ding"...
As adrynalyne said, unless they think the screen issues are related to the case damage, you should be good. Kinda depends on the CS rep you get.

[Q] What should I do with this screen?

Hello,
I've had my desire for almost a year now, and it broke yesterday... I was playing with my 6-year old nephews, and my desire fell out of my pocket. I didn't know that it was broken until I wanted to check my whatsapp a few hours later, and when I did, the screen was like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
... (lol the image is way too big)The touchscreen is working fine, I can turn it on and unlock it, I can even send an whatsapp, because I knew where the icon was. So what should I do with it? Repair it if it's possible? How much would that cost? I now have an iPhone 3gs as stand-in, should I keep that for as long as my contract lasts (1 year)? Or should I buy a new one? If so, which one would you advise me? A cheap one please, as I want to save for the PS4 later this year.
I'm running Sandvolds ICS for those that want to know...
Thanks!
There's a possibility that the screen cable is slightly disconnected. Try to disassemble the phone, and check the cable.
Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try
Edit: Yeah I tried to take it apart, seems I've got no T5 screwdriver at home... Basically, if I would take it apart I would have not any idea what te screen cable is... Is it the LCD connecter? I do know quite a bit about software and that sort of stuff, but I'm a n00b at replacing hardware :S

I had the exact same screen on my Desire :silly:
That screen is broken and you need to replace it. I would recomend a professional to do it because I tried to do it myself and I destroyed my phone. And the other thing if you decide to go on with replacement - Desire had two different screen types and every type had one or two subtypes which are NOT compatible with each other so you need to know exactly what type of screen you have

Cuted cable from display assembly

Hey all,
my galaxy note wont charge. So i opened the device to fix it. The good thing is, that the device now charge. The bad thing is that i cuted the cable for the display assembly.

This is the thing which is broken by me. The right cable is cuted.
Is there any option two replace just the cable instead of buying a whole new display assembly?
Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english.

Thank you! I try it!
Hey,
the cable arrived today. I tried to get it build in but no change. It's too tricky. I think it's not possible to get the screen off without a brick. If someone can put the screen away without bricking it, it's very hard to connect the new cable to the screen.
The phone is dead. Maybe i found a cheap damaged phone with a working screen on ebay... We will see.
I will try it.
Hope you can fix the phone asap
