So my Gnex went black over a year ago, I tried all the guidance at the time with combinations of plugging and battery pulls. It just plain would not respond in any way to any stimuli. I got a new Nexus 5 and lived happily ever after until the discussion of Lollipop on Gnex resparked interest.
So, I gutted the Gnex, everything looks good, but that little tiny button cell battery on underside of mainboard screams guilty.
BUT the little bastard is SPOT WELDED in its holder 6 places. 3 on top, 3 on bottom. Really? Yeah.
I manage to carefully sheer the welds with a tiny flathead. It reads ML414H.should be 3VDC, It tested out at 2VDC. Enought to keep phone from booting? Charging?
Anyway, I'm over here in Norway, and lets say getting on of these tiny batteries would apparently requires some creative logistics. (They dont even have Radio Shack )
I need help tracking down one to see if its a legit fix.

This battery is simply a backup battery for the system clock. The problem is not with it.

Since the dawn of the smart phone, these little power houses are crammed with more processor speeds and memory than a desktop computer.
All the while, these little hot suckers are totally dependent on 'PASSIVE' cooling.
Right now, i'm sporting a very stylish T-Mobile G2 from HTC. I use my phone for everything under the sun. I'm thinking about using it for frying my eggs for a meal, because sometimes, my little phone get so HOT while using it for navigation, and various other tasks that tax the battery and GPS, it's almost unbearable to touch.

I purchased a mobile phone holder for my bike (ON AMAZON HERE) which works EXCELLENT! Except, its not allowing my phone to breath. I like the fact it's weather proof, but at a price of a over-heated device.
I'm thinking about hacking this case, and installing a small CPU fan attached to a solar panel for power. Which I would have to drill holes in the front somewhere to allow the air to flow over my phone.
I wish someone can make a case out of heat dispersion technology found with something like what they sell here. http://thermapak.com/
Any links to another product or any ideas?
Hello,
inspired by a thread I saw last week in the LG XDA forum where a guy was showing a custom cradle + charger made by LEGO for his phone I decided to find the old LEGO box and to create something for myself, remembering the old days 2 decades ago when i was young and played a lot with these ingenious small bricks and pieces So, here's the outcome, tell me if you like it and be inspired to do something by yourself and share it here, I'll be very glad if I make at least one person to do the same and feel the nice nostalgia to the old days
P.S. The QI charger part is actually working very well and charging the phone fast enough, even though the positioning is not the best. I used a cheap flee market QI charger, which i disassembled and took only the charging unit, totally removing the casing. It's sandwiched between the LEGO plates and is pretty well held in position, not requiring any additional fixing. If you want to, i can make more detailed pictures of how i fixed it into place.

The screen has cracked for a very long time but still functional. Just now, it fell once again and then a white-ish thin line appeared at the very right corner, but I ignored it as it does not disturbed me. Few hours later, I think i put a little pressure into this pressure (But I'm pretty sure i am not, because my the only thing i did was to put it inside of my jeans pocket) and poof! Half of the screen cannot be seen clearly (refer picture). But still could function as in I could still use the touch screen mode at the affected area. Could this lcd screen problem be saved without replacing the lcd with a new one? Replacing it is my last resort if I could save it DIY. Help me, thanks!
Yeah, sure, via a software update. That'll also give you wireless charging, but only if you charge the phone inside the microwave.
You've cracked the screen! What sort of DIY fix you assume can exist, besides replacing it?
tired of cheap ebay screens, what replacement screen do yall recommend?
OnePlus RMA. It isn't overly expensive.
From memory, it was around £90 for me.
I have a very little Slot over my first Headspeaker near the Camera. There is some dirt and i dont know if other has the same Problems.
I got my Phone around 2 Weeks and for that Price that is a shame.
I attached Photos where you can see it.

Google Support says its normal.
The gap shown in the picture shouldn't be there.
Best Joke ever: Google Support says its normal.
I agree, that gap should not be there. Not on mine. Call them back, tell them you went to Best buy or a VZ store to compare and you have this big gap that they don't.
You said you just got it, return it to where you bought it so you don't get stuck with a refurbished from Google..... assuming you bought it new.
Reading the chat history in the picture, the employee might think of the speaker cutout. You could try to highlight the gap in some color.
This slot is normal, try gently using a clean soft bristle toothbrush to sweep it out. That's what I do. Works great for the speaker grills and charging port as well!
You are right but this was the Beginning of the Chat. They know now what i mean but says the Photos are not enough and want a Video or more Photos.

I purchased it 3 years ago from samsung shop (Italy) for 200€.
In the last few months I am having an issue that doesn't allow me to charge it at all.
When I try to charge the smartwatch says that it is too hot (sometimes it says that it is too cold) and to cool it down (or warm it up).
I tried also to use another charger and to put it in the freezer (LMAO) but didn't work.
The smartwatch is in perfect conditions (I barely used it once a week in the gym) and from nowhere this error appears.
I went to the official samsung repair center and they asked 170€ for the repair cost (motherboard + back cover). That's no sense....
Do you know If I, somehow, can disable this temperature sensor allowing it to charge? I didn't find anything in the developers options but maybe with a custom rom or something like that?
I don't want to spend all those money on a 3 years old smartwatch.
Thanks for your time.
Giuseppe
