LG G5: Rear-facing camera won't focus

Mon, 25 Apr 2022 01:16:47 -0700

The rear-facing 16MP camera (not the wide angle) will no longer focus. I've tried all the usual software fixes (factory reset, etc.). I can actually hear a mechanism inside the phone "trying" to focus, but it seems to be locked into the nearest focal point.

Before I send this thing back for warranty replacement (which involves fixing an old, busted LG G3 first so I'm not without a phone for two weeks), does anyone have a suggestion about how to fix it? I'm not particularly inclined to disassemble the G5, but I thought I'd at least check to see if anyone else has run into this problem.

Nexus 4: Power button harder to press

Tue, 21 Jun 2016 13:21:52 -0700

Being the only physical button for power, lock and screenshots the button has become more unresponsive to gentle presses and now requires a great pressure to activate it. Is there any way to fix it before it's too late?

LG G2: Where is the battery temperature sensor?

Mon, 12 Jun 2017 16:05:38 -0700

Since repairing the screen, I have noticed that the battery temperature sometimes registers as -30.0 deg C. This causes the phone to not charge and also will not boot up. I found that a good old knock against the back cover sometimes fixes the problem temporarily, but it's far from ideal.

I would like to know where the battery temperature sensor is located, to know what i have to replace (I'm expecting this to be built into the battery but I'd rather confirm first)

Nexus 5: Screen intermittently works, sometimes black

Fri, 24 Mar 2017 10:48:51 -0700

My Nexus 5 screen went black the other day, the backlight is on and the phone works but I just get a black screen. I tapped it on the back and the screen came back but then the digitiser didn't work. Tapped it again and then it worked perfectly but half an hour later black screen again.

Ordered a replacement screen but the same thing happens, I noticed that if i tap the motherboard this temporarily fixes it giving me the impression that there is something wrong with it.

I've checked ribbon cables and connections many times but no luck.

Any help?

Nexus 5: battery physical size (in relation with LG G2)

Sun, 04 Oct 2015 02:15:11 -0700

Hi,

may you confirm the physical size of the Nexus 5 is identical to this one of the LG G2?

Is it technically possible to buy the silicon battery of the G2 (3000mah) and install it in the N5 (same connector, same voltage aso)?

Nexus 4: Red Light of death blinking after battery and motherboard replace?

Sun, 09 Aug 2015 19:41:32 -0700

It all began with my broken screen. I sent the device to my assurance and got it back after a few days. I got the same device with a new screen. Everything seemed to be fine but suddenly my phone started to turn of with a battery capacity of 95%. This happend every 1 to 3 minutes. There is no possibility to send it back. I tried to recalibrate the battery while the nexus was turned on, but that also didn't work. Now it only turns on, if I press the power button while plugging in the cable. Then the Google Logo appears and it turns off again after 4-5 seconds. If I don't press the power button while plugging in, the red notification light turns on and starts to blink in irregular intervals. If I try to access fastboot mode the device turns also off again after round about 5 seconds. There's no chance to "power-off" the phone manually. After all of that that didn't work I ordered a new battery. I opened the case on replaced it. Nothing changed. Now I ordered a secondhand mainboard on ebay. I replaced it with the iFixit manual, but the lamp is still blinking when I try to turn the nexus on. (Like before it only turns on for some seconds if I plug the cable in while pressing the power button.) My last idea was the USB Flex, I ordered one yesterday. Do you have any other ideas how to repair my device?

Thanks a lot!

Nico from germany.

LG V20: Replacing connector for top antenna?

Tue, 31 Aug 2021 05:30:47 -0700

I damaged the connector for the top antenna on my LG V20 during screen replacement but I am unable to find a supplier for the part. I am not even sure what to call it and was hoping someone might know as I cannot connect to my wireless carrier since the phone repair. The part, a sticker which I believe connects the top antenna to the bumper, is circled in red in the image I linked.

LG G2: green and purple screen on LCD - pictures link included

Sat, 21 Jul 2018 07:21:44 -0700

today, i saw my lg g2 screen discolored, as there is an interference of the green color and purple. when i take a screenshot of the phone, the picture shows there is nothing wrong. possible something wrong with digitizer, i don't know. it was dropped early on today, from a couch onto the carpet, not a huge drop. i checked it immediately and it was fine. hours later i saw the discoloration, and like i stated, the screenshot shows a normal screen with no discoloration (ruling out GPU problem), touch screen works, nothing is out of ordinary, except the purple and green.

Additional information: when i stop using the phone for a while, the color return to normal. after i used it for couple of minutes 5-10 minutes, the issue return and the screen gets more purple as time of use increases. performed Hard reset, reinstall ROM and kernel, issue persisted
