Make sure to use a t4 for the screw near the flash. don't make the same mistake I did using a t5 as suggested in this video. I ended up striping the screw and could not get it out. can u say new phone...

pwrdbykyank commented on 05 Dec 2015

+jasen w A lot of people have actually stripped the screw with t4 because of the fact it is smaller so greater chance of stripping it if you twist too hard. With t5 the chance its smaller but can still happen. However if you strip it, just use any house drill or go to a home depot have them use one of their drills and just drill into the screw with a small drill bit and it will break right off. You can then replace the screw. You can also use a dremel if you have one at home to break off the top of the head of the screw.

I have to droid mini, and have been having problems with the audio jack. It only works with select plugs, and sometimes doesn't even work at all. Suggestions?

pwrdbykyank commented on 05 Dec 2015

+LocoCatpwnz Have you tried using a thin brush to clean the inside of the jack? Also maybe some of the contacts on the jack have gone bad requiring you to replace the head phone jack/slot

I bought a screen digitizer and frame all in one , put it on , the screen is extremely dark. What do you think is wrong ?

grundyman26 commented on 16 Nov 2015

+The Magical Bean I'm gonna give it a shot , thanks in advance!!!

The Magical Bean commented on 16 Nov 2015

+grundyman26 No, not necessarily, that happend to mine, it could be you didnt plug the Screen LCD thing in enough, i just took out the LCD plug and replugged it in and turned it on and it was bright again

pwrdbykyank commented on 05 Nov 2015

Ya then its probably a faulty screen. Thanks, glad I was able to be of help. Let me know if your replacement screen works.

grundyman26 commented on 05 Nov 2015

I think it may just be a faulty screen , I took it apart again and realized the sensor is connected to the mother board. But I don't see any physical damage .Thanks for your help , and your video was a big help in getting this thing apart.

grundyman26 commented on 05 Nov 2015

+pwrdbykyank but everything is new, doesn't the proximity sensor come new with the assembly?

pwrdbykyank commented on 05 Nov 2015

+grundyman26 Do you have auto brightness turned on? If so maybe you have damaged the light sensor on the front top of the phone where it detects light and is dimming the screen (so you can try turning off auto brightness), Or you might have a faulty screen.

Gavin Bright commented on 29 Oct 2015

Just a quick point: at 4:26 when you are taking off the top piece, there are actually holes right next to the tabs in the face of the piece; so you can stick a small tool in and simply push outward on the tabs from the inside. It's a bit easier to do, and you're also less likely to damage or break the tabs.

Gavin Bright commented on 29 Oct 2015

+pwrdbykyank Cool! Thanks for the video!

pwrdbykyank commented on 29 Oct 2015

+Gavin Bright Yea I figured that out a while after I had done the video, just never got around to adding a note in that section to mention that. I will try n do it now. Thanks :)

Ruben Coriz commented on 22 Sep 2015

on the droid maxx is there a way to change the internal memory? I purchased one to later find out it had no slot for an SD. I have no problem disassembling it but does it have a port for an SD or can it be swapped for one with larger memory

Ruben Coriz commented on 22 Sep 2015

+Adam Bednarz OK. lame... oh well I can make due with the stock memory I guess til I can get a new phone. thanks for the info!

Adam Bednarz commented on 22 Sep 2015

No sorry it's all on the motherboard. You would have to swap the entire board.

there is no memory card slot. you can buy a leef access reader for a easy way to transfer to a sd card. you will need a file manager. check out my video on it. https://youtu.be/hop-C5Fobis

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my dumbass phone freaked out and 100% locked up while surfing the web on it.. and i was freaking out because for the life of me it went black screen and nothing i did would make it come back on.. :( Then i read the hold the power and down volume at the same time, and wouldn't you know.. it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you SO MUCH!!! This saved me a trip to verizon and about 300$ trying to take out the battery lol. glad i researched before trying it!! LOVE YOU

Mark Vincent Peteroy commented on 18 Jun 2013

Wow... lots of people here who don't know how to read. Anyway, this worked but unfortunately it led to the power strip being ripped off in the process. I had already ordered the new battery and should have it tomorrow, so I should live without a phone for a day... would have liked to see a warning about this in the video, though. Maybe my glue was stickier than your phone, not sure... Thanks for the video, nonetheless. It was helpful

Mark Lanoue commented on 12 Oct 2013

If I or anyone else who commented on this video knew how to open the cover, then we wouldn't of searched on how to do it. Damm..what's up with the negative comments, the dude was only posting this to help whomever out.......and "Sarah Johnstone" Do you kiss people with that mouth......real classy. Thanks Scott, I got my cover off just the way you showed....appreciated.

Jason Medlock commented on 12 Apr 2013

ALWAYS! ALWAYS! ALWAYS! Do your research before ANY DIY project. Research is so very easy with the internet, but if you do not consult numerous trusted sites, or you go on half cocked with only half the info. needed then you are a fool. Scot's video clearly states that it was not all the info. needed. Pay attention people and do the full research before proceeding.

Josh B commented on 24 Mar 2015

To all: i purchased a tmobile sim and they told me it would work yet over the phone or in store they cant get it to work, had this phone since new and its not jail broken or any of that crap....trying to get on the unlimited plan for $50 and cant work until this is fixed....anyone got it working im so lost and frustrated as fuk lol

mr.angeleno commented on 05 Feb 2013

you cannot take battery out without ruining phone. do not attempt. not like other phones, you must either take it in or if you have to restart it press power and volume down at same time...hold it for 10 seconds, it will restart. there's a reason its so difficult to get backplate off, its cuz you CANT take battery out without damage!

Tumby commented on 21 Dec 2012

I figured it out how to remove the cover myself, but wanted to watch you remove the battery (hence the title of your video). Now I tore my battery cable and need to get it fixed. DO NOT remove the battery on your own! Now I'll go find out how much it'll cost to fix......and I'll enjoy living back in the '80's

tomazo55 commented on 17 Jan 2015

I found your clip useful, also found that a guitar pick works well too, just press it into the groove and it opens up the case. I started where you said to and it worked well. I installed an ONITE 1900 mAh battery from Amazon, fit just right and included all the glue pads. Thanks.

ScottTesla commented on 26 Mar 2013

I'm sorry I haven't posted the rest of the video up but I can tell you without a doubt removing the battery does not ruin the phone, I have the new battery In my phone right now. Its only a matter of removing 2 tech screws to take the battery contact off and replace with the new one.

MrRaul355 commented on 03 Jul 2013

if you really want to take the battery off without making any damage to the phone or breaking it go here: youtube com/watch?v=oqydiSBngt4 (delete the space and place s dot (.) between youtube and com he shows it step by step, srry for my english ptt: like so anyone can see

salceci commented on 27 Apr 2013

What was the point of another battery? Did u get a bigger one? If so how is it going to fit? Im tired of this tiny battery my self. Sorry for all the questions just curious because i want more battery life with out the max. I love my white RAZR and the thinness of it.

Gefen Essel commented on 02 May 2013

i phoned a guy and after i clicked the "end call" buttan it just stopped , now i really need my phone for tomorrow so i have two options 1. wait for the battery to die out or 2. take the battery out and put it back in.. hope you can reply to me today thanks alot :)

this is probably the worse tutorial. no audio and skipped steps (parts mysteriously appear on the side and forgetting to put parts back in place. seems like this is your first go with this phone as you obviously had issues just from opening it up.

Perry Fowler commented on 24 Nov 2015

+jasen w LOL I wonder if their was a screw in the headphone jack that had to be removed first/, To make it possible for it to come apart , Like it is with a Nokia lum 928 phone & if you need to be super extra carefull pulling it apart to prevent the micro small plastic clip's that it slides apart & together-again from breaking ,Thus making it not go back together tight'ly when done?,? LOL

Michele Pollasch commented on 12 Jan 2015

Awesome video, very helpful. I yours and others videos to remove the glass only (digitizer is still working). Can you show us how to install glass only?

Banthos commented on 17 Apr 2015

+Michele Pollasch well if that's the case then all there is left to do is get some thin 3m tape, adhere the edges (left and right), top near the ear speaker and right above the soft keys at the bottom and place the glass on. As long as the LCD isn't busted the phone should turn on as normal. Depending on what tape you use you might need to double it up so that the glass doesn't press on the LCD and create a bubble looking shape on the center of the screen. 3M 300LSE is a really good tape to use. Just need to find the right width you need. (Dependent on the phone) People will mention loca glue. This is the devils semen. Even if used 100% properly it can spread to other components on the logic board itself and cause soo many problems. Ive used this method and tape on thousands of devices for years.

Michele Pollasch commented on 17 Apr 2015

I've already separated the broken glass so the hard work is done. I have the new glass and could use directions for installing glass only. Can you help?

Banthos commented on 17 Apr 2015

+Michele Pollasch an easy answer here is just dont be cheap and get the combo. Glass replacements are a "band-aid" at most. Separating the glass from the lcd is no easy task, plus your phone will never really be the same again. I tell all my customers its not a good repair. just my 2 cents

jennifer caldwell commented on 13 Dec 2014

i have a droid ultra and i replaced the glass screen it was cracked really bad but now im having a problem with the lcd/digitizer i can not get the logo on the phone when you turn it on i need help lol im hoping its not broke and i hope i got all of the cables hooked up right

+bebe s jean We do not believe this would be possible but it all varies on the network compatibility. You would want to verify with your carrier.

Jim Harman commented on 22 Mar 2015

Great video - thanks! I used it when replacing the battery on my Razr Maxx HD and here are some observations: --There is a small round metal part at the headphone jack that fits between the screen and the body. This came loose when I separated the screen and body. Attaching it to the screen with a tiny dab of glue helps to keep it in place when re-assembling. --There is yellow tape at the connectors for the screen. You need to peel this up to detach the connectors. --There is a white line near the end of each of the screen ribbon cables. When reassembling, make sure the line is flush with the edge of the connector. --If the phone is dead after reassembling, don't despair. Take it apart again, make sure all the cables are seated properly and the clamps are closed. While you have it open, disconnect and reconnect the battery to reset the phone. Put it back together and try again. It took me 3 tries to get everything working.

Doesn't just appear larger, it is larger. Phone's claims to have the 4.7" screen or a 5" screen but they don't account for how much the buttons decrease the screen size. Props for the Maxx and Ultra giving a full 5" view.

iLikeNapkins commented on 25 Jul 2013

I don't see any reason why this is better than the S4 which is going for half the price. The battery life is great but with the S4 I can swap batteries if I need extra juice.

CodeJBDA commented on 02 Aug 2013

Then you have to buy that battery which add costs and inconvenience, not that much cost but you still gotta shell out

John Friend commented on 21 Aug 2013

Sim tray is accesses by pulling out volume up and down button with finger nail! Battery size is bigger than quoted.

DJ SPY commented on 06 Aug 2013

Another difference is that the Maxx has 32 gigs of storage where as the other ones only have 16 gigs of storage.
