Ohh, and I'm tired of the update available prompt (rooted with custom kernel)
Want to go back to stock, and flash 6.0. But had two drops that damaged the corners and moulding holding the screen. Screen itself is fine, but worry that it will separate in time.
Just filed claim with Square Trade (bought at Staples), and their recommendation was to send me a check. Not sure how much?
I did have epoxy on one corner, but it chipped away. Need a more solid repair.
Any good source for parts? And how hard of a self repair?
What about sending g back to ASUS for repair?
Thanks for comments....

From the videos, it looks like the broken bezels are part of the front housing. But it also looks virtually impossible to separate the screen/digitizer from that without damaging it. I think this full assembly would be much easier.
Now what would be cost to send to ASUS, or to just get my check and apply a few more dabs of epoxy?

Does it really matter?
Mines chipped at three corners. Granted only one is as big as yours, but its working fine.

Yeah...works fine. But could look better. Was thinking it could degrade over time and effect display.
Squaretrade said to send it to them for $239 refund. Just had to order an Asus charger for $10 to include with my return.

I also need a speaker grid for my HTC Rhodium, as it is stuck in glue.
I don't know where to buy them, so if you know a site, I'll be glad to buy them these parts.
Thanks a lot.
I seriously doubt that you can buy these parts separately. You may have to either purchase a damaged device and salvage the parts you need or purchase the entire front bezel to get them. I have never seen them sold separately.
Coucou !
In fact, I HAVE to buy a new bezel, but the ones I saw were NOT sold with these parts, neither the golden nut (I hope it's the correct word!) nor the speaker grid.
But if you know where to buy a bezel with these, I'll be glad to buy these there!
By the way, thanks for your answer.
Why not try to get them from the website you got the image from? It seems the gold nuts are included in that picture. Otherwise, just purchase a defective device for cheap and swap the parts.
Coucou!
Ask for these to that russian website? I have to admit I didn't think about it...
Now, I did it and I'm waiting for their answer. I'll stay in contact.
Thanks for the advice

[Q] Dust Accumulating Under Screen

The other month the metal frame round my Desire came loose to the point that it protruded quite uncomfortably in the hand. I bought and fitted a whole new case which was no problem, however now it lets in a lot of dust, mostly through the middle left of the screen, and I'm not talking about a little bit of dust, it lets in crazy amounts that after 2 weeks ends up obscuring the screen completely and I have to take it apart and clean it. I've added a couple of photos to show what I mean:

I think it's to do with the seal but I'm not sure exactly. Anyone else had this issue, or could help? Thanks.
There is a bit of a seal between the glass and the metal in the desire which you might need to replace one way or another. I also think the glass is put on during manufacture in vacuum conditions.
People who repair watches or replace batteries on watches that require to go x number of meters under water have to go through a similar process. Might be worth seeing what they can do.
it's quite unfortunate. Good luck with sorting out the issue.
I have the same problem. I once dismantaled the entire thing, cleaned out the dust and put it back together. It mostly got cleared for a while but then came back.
I've gotten used to it now...

[Q] My screen is somewhat scratched...

So if I wanted to replace it, would i replace the LCD screen itself or the digitizer? Not sure as the photos of where I can buy both of these items do not make it very clear which part I need.
MOST phones are just the glass itself. LCD Digitizer is the LCD display this is like this

but many phones the digitizer is attached to the glass(My Galaxy S 4g) I would just recommend going to your local flea market and look for a phone guy. They're the cheapest.
Depends how much it´s scratched, but general is just the digitizer.
That's what I thought. The LCD screen is a tad recessed for it to be the top of the screen... now i know for future reference
Wow you hardly broke it :$
Sent from my R800i using XDA
Are you sure it's not the shatter-resistant film that's scratched? It can be removed, and the screen won't scratch as easily (just try not to drop the phone if you do)
That would be it, the only thing i ever removed from my screen was the thing plastic protector that all devices have on their screens now.. Thanks!
HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!
Ur poor phone...when i see it i thing it is better buy a new one or insurance...

OCD issue with glass

So I noticed earlier today there's a small gap on one side between the glass and the body. My ocd is killing me. The issue I have is dust, dirt and other small debris can settle within the crevice.

Does anyone else notice this?
Edit: pic updated
I haven't noticed this yet on mine but just got it 3 days ago. I will keep looking as I have a bit of OCD too.
I believe I also have a whee bit of a gap on the left side , but it is so small it doesn't bother me. I don't think I could get a picture of it if I tried it is so slight. I really had to look at it to convince myself it was even there. Your first picture makes it look quite obvious on yours though. I assume you're having it replaced because of bad pixels so hopefully the next one will be 100%.
Yes I'll be taking mine back due to this and 7 dead pixels. These two things made it an easy choice whether to return or keep it.
UPDATE: Contacted motorola. They said either i ship mine back to them and then theyll send me a new one. or they ship me a new one put a $200 hold on my CC and then once received, i ship mine back to them.

Could this be saved?

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.
