[HELP] Is there any way to replace arms on scree - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just noticed today that bottom of the 2 arms that the screen piviots on when you open it is missing. Is there a way to replace that? Can I buy replacement ones?
It's on the speaker side (left side when open), bottom arm (not with the bar going across)

I just want to clarify something real quick, there are NO arms on the left side? Because there are only 3 arms in total, one on left and two on the right

Is there not 2 per side? Looking at it, it looks like there's 2 per side

Alright. Sorry. I guess I never looked close enough.
Is there a way to replace them if they break?

Not a problem! As for that I have no idea, I only think that HTC could replace that sadly..

If you can find the parts then I don't see why you couldn't put them in yourself.

I'm guessing the 3rd arm is just there in order to keep the screen parallel with the keyboard when you open the screen. If it only had 2 hinges, I think it would allow the screen to move so that it is oblique to the keyboard as you are opening it, which would look sloppy. If its there just to keep the screen in position, and not for strength, it would explain why there are only 3, not 4.

Yes you can replace them, and there is a thread here walking you through the process if you search for it. And yes there are three in total. 2 on the right, one the left, plus the cable connecting the screen and keyboard.

Also while i dont have the link on hand ther is a website that sells all the parts to the vision. Pretty cheap too. When i saw that new screens were around $20 i quit using stupid screen protectors....go figure i havnt scratched it yet anyway.

I had one of the black full screen ones and I loved it. It made the phone look bad ass, the only problem was it screwed with some of the accelerometer based games I was playing because it effectively blacked out the screen when viewing from an off angle so I had to remove it.
I need one of these to many people look at my phone while texting

I keep reading how the buttons don't work with the big ones that's why I want one that covers screen only. I ordered 2 one long one and now that short one above. The long one will come first but I will just cut it to screen size.

I've bought 3 or 4 long ones 2 from ebay and 2 from daydeal.
Both from ebay did not allow the buttons to be used.
The first one from daydeal my current one works great but started peeling up in the corners so I ordered an new one from daydeal they changed up who they got it from and now the buttons don't work with it.
So now im back to the peeling one and shopping around for a new protector!

I got the screen protectors and they work as should but just like I thought I had to cut them. Both were long.

Upload some pics already haha
Hey guys I know this is Accessories but check out Screen Filter in the Market. It works surprisingly well and I think it's way better than a physical privacy screen protector.

Screen over button and left corner bleeding pink blue.

I am very careful with my phone, screen protector, case, never dropped. Pulled it out of my pocket this afternoon and noticed a small pink area just over the button and to the left lower corner of the screen. as the evening progressed the area is now larger, about the size of a quarter over the button and near the corner.
Not sure what the hell is causing this, i'll try and post some pictures.
Attached image,
sorry for crappy resolution, was with an iphone.
What are we looking for in that pic??

The screen is bleeding from the lower mid to left of the screen, i can see the text and images under the colored area fine, To me it looks like the screen has separated. The touch screen is working fine. I have no idea how it happened, I do know that it was never dropped and never came in contact with water.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Has happened to mine as well. I have a pink dot in the middle of the left side of the screen. I read that it is a defect in the screen. It's annoying an want to turn it in on warranty but can't be without my phone for a month.

I'll have to send it out,its now 1/4 the way up the screen. I'll have to use my Iphone for a while till this guy comes back.. From preliminary talks with Bell, they sound like they will push the "You dropped it" card... it will be hard to prove for them cause the lack of any physical damage, but hey, they are douche bags after all.
So this is as of 2 mins ago.
It's crazy, by tomorrow it will be 1/2 the screen!.
Update - The screen is now completely Blue with a dark blue section near the bottom.

the more i look at it, the more i think water got inside your phone 0_0
I've never seen water do that to a display.
It wasn't water, It's under warranty so it's being replaced, so i'm happy about that. Showed it to the "support Tech" and the response i got was "Holy Sh*t"
It was a screen defect where the AMOLED display actually separated .

[Q] Where's the Mic??

so, i have read the manual, the online info, and everything else, and nowhere does it say or show where the microphone on this tablet is; I know there is one, and it works well, but for the life of me, I cant find it!!
thanks
l belive it's on the top right side, and on the 3g / Ite there is one more bottom right. My cover has holes in these places!

Comfortable to use?

I know everyone has been hating on the black bar below the on screen keys, but I was wondering if it actually makes using the phone more comfortable since you don't have to bend your fingers quite so far to reach the keys. Just wondering if those who have used the M8 thought the same thing. Hopefully I'll get to play with one here sometime.

You'll get used to it . The main concern is the size of the phone so I think that will be your main problem.

how to emulate a circle case?

Tonight I placed my g3 on top of my nexus 7, and it made it look like it was in a circle case..i.e. the clock appeared. My nexus 7 has a magnetic case.
I've been unable to get it to do it again, I wondered if it was possible to simulate a circle case placing a magnet somewhere? Anyone got a case and can tell me if it contains a magnet and where that is?
I believe it's somewhere on the rear
