When I open up my phone for battery replacement,
I totally forgot there is a cable attached to the back case, so I freaking broke it.

When first time I open the phone, I remember to disconnect it but this time I really forgot!
What can I do? Is that possible to glue back the cable?
You'll have to buy a new one. You can get from here or here. You can find other retailers with a Google search but they are all in China. Depending where you live it's going to take a minimum of 3 weeks for it to arrive...maybe longer.

Did you ever get a new fingerprint sensor/cable? If so, does it work? I had to replace mine but the new one isn't recognized. I waited a long time to receive it and am disappointed it doesn't work.
Nope, I decided to just buy a new phone, Realme 5.
Because the fingerprint sensor is so expensive, like 1/4 of the Mi A2 Lite's price.

OK fair enough. But in the links I posted above the sensors only cost $5-$8 USD. How is that 1/4 the price and/or too expensive?

My mistake, it's actually 1/10 of its price.
Its been a while now, so idk why last time think is too expensive,
or I just looking for excuse to buy a new phone ?.
Replaced my broken sensor with a new one from Ali and it works great! You need to train the sensor with new fingerprints though. I now have a red sensor on my black phone

What do you mean by train the sensor? I actually have another sensor coming from Ali this week (per tracking). Long story why I have a second one coming - but I'm hoping that the first one replaced (from a different source) is defective and that's why it's not recognized. But at this point I don't have any option for fingerprint to begin with.

The new sensor did not respond when I used it at first. I had to delete the fingerprints stored in my phone and retrain the sensor with my finger. Nothing to worry about.
I have now tried 2 new fingerprint sensors from 2 different suppliers. Neither one is recognized by the phone. I have downloaded apps to check the hardware and every time the result is "Error: There is no fingerprint sensor on this device".
I highly doubt that both new sensors are bad, so any thoughts why it is not recognized? Motherboard issue? But everything else works perfectly on the phone. I can live without the fingerprint sensor but it is a nice feature to have.
Thanks!

My S3 screen has been cracked for a while and I think it's time I replace it.
Samsung charges like $200 something to get it fixed even though everything works perfectly.
Can anyone here recommend a company that will replace it? Are these services reliable?
DeviceJack on eBay looks promising but wondering if there were any others people thought were good.
Does the display and touch screen still work? Just the glass is cracked?
If they don't work, its a very easy thing to replace yourself. There are plenty of vids online that can help.
You can get the LCD/digitizer assembly (already attached to a new housing) for roughly $100, sometimes a good bit less. Then all you have to do is move your motherboard and components from the broken one which is very easy to do.
You could also buy a used device which has at least a good screen then all you'd probably have to do is swap in your motherboard and that's it. These are often cheaper than the assembly I mentioned.

Replacing just the glass is extremely hard and tedious as the super AMOLED screen is glued to the glass, and to peel the touchh part off the frame is rough also, i tried it with a broken screen, i would recommend as doc has, its 5-6 screws to remove the back cover, 1 screw to take the -+board off, and 4 plugs maybe 5, it would take about 10-20 minutes total.
If its just cracked glass, but everything is still functioning, you should read the thread about replacing it in the General section, then make the call yourself if its something you want to try. It may not be the easiest thing to do, but it can save you a ton of money. Ive done it myself with pretty good results. Saved about $75-100 by doing so.

Everything still indeed is functioning so it's just cracked glass
I don't have a temperature gun to do it and dont trust myself honestly lol
Do these EBay services basically provide the same thing? Found one for ~$40 I forget
Not all will be the same. Id ask to be sure what methid they use. $40 is probably as good as it gets, but check up on thr seller first. Most charge more than this so it does make ne wonder how trustworthy they might be.
As for the DIY method, a thermometer would be nice, but most people, including myself, dont have or need one. In the end it boils down to how comfortable youd be though. Nothing wrong with getting it serviced by a shop.
Oh, and make sure they guarantee their work. Also write down your serial number, IMEI, etc, and reverify it all when you get it back.

Woah woah.
Thanks for posting. Was about to do it from devicejack.
Most cities have a number of shops that will perform that service. No shipping costs, no waiting for shipping somewhere and back again, plus if dealing face to face they are less likely to be shady in their business practices.
Hi,
I bought my Nexus 5X in December, and i was using it with the stock software from Google (locked BL, unmodified, unrooted)(6.0.1 MMP29Q) because i didn't have USB C-A cable and everything was fine.
2 Days ago, i got the cable, and i unlocked the bootloader, rooted the device, and flashed a custom rom (namely Cataclysm)(6.0.1 MMP29P), and everything was still fine, but today, i was shooting some pictures with the camera, and i noticed a black dot in the view, i thought it's dust on the lens, and i tried wiping the lens (from the outside) but it didn't work.
I did some research on the issue, and i found out that many Nexus device users have faced the same problem with previous devices (Nexus 4, Nexus 5), and most feedback says that the problem appeared after updating the camera app, or updating the android version, but there's no actual solution to the issue, since most of the users chose to get a replacement phone.
Demo of the problem:

I posted the images in full size to notice that the dot isn't completely black, it's kinda transparent, on the blue wall, you notice that you can still see the pattern of the paint through the dot.
Things i tried
Wiping the lens from the outside
Uninstalling the camera app updates
Changing the resolution of the camera
Installing another camera app (Open Camera)
Unrooting/Flashing Stock Factory Image
Also, when i zoom in the dot goes out of the screen, it moves with the zoom.
Anyone has any idea what could be done apart from sending the phone back to the retailer? because my phone will have to cross countries to get there and come back :|
Probably there is something that stick to the inner sideof lens?

Thanks mate, but i'm keeping that as a last resort (as mentioned in the post, the phone will have to cross countries to be replaced, and that will take a lot of time).
I still have hope in finding a solution, or for a miracle to happen and the dot to disappear suddenly just like it appeared.
and i still have till next December for the warranty to end, so i'll hope a little longer for now

If all else fails you could try to find just the camera flex cable, probably has more attached to it, and either replace it yourself or have someone do that for ya. They aren't too hard to replace but haven't opened this phone up yet.
I had the same thing happen to my N4. Although I couldn't see it, there was some kind of speck on the camera lens. I never did anything about it because it was outside of warranty, and I didn't want to open the phone up.
I returned my first 5x for the same reason, although I couldn't see it on the picture yet. This time, I could physically see the speck of dust just outside of the range of the lens. I didn't want to risk it migrating into view just after the warranty expires.
Most likely, it's coincidence that it happened at the time that you flashed a ROM. If you want to be 100% sure, go back to stock to see if it's still there. The issue that you were referring to that happened to others was more of a black bar, which happened to my N4 if I used the most updated camera app.
Hi,
Few weeks ago I broked my g4 camera lens at work, so I bought a BISLINKS lens that might be "AS OEM" but it was really bad. Volume buttons doesn't fits like they doesn't have enough room on the piece so the force into the volume board causing strange things and the power button wasn't working good. So I made a second shot buying a new BISLINKS lens, but same story as the first one. Even bad, because the package wasn't as described in eBay but just on a ridiculous blister.
However after a lot of time wasted and spent, now I just want to repair my camera lens. Now it's two weeks that I can't take good shots for the faulty lens. Because I was forced to set up again the old one.
Now I am here asking some help from you guys, can someone link here a good lens? Maybe made of glass and not plastic. Id like to bring my device to LG but they takes time and also a lot of money. Anyone had bad experience as mine? Or maybe good experience with good lenses. Just link here them to help me find a good one. I can spend 15/20$ (15€). Even more if it's necessary...
Thank you guys!!

I also got my lens cover broken. How about using your old volume buttons with the new lens? I fixed it that way and it is still working for me. If you really want a new set though, I suggest trying etradesupply or sourcing one from aliexpress.

I don't have in the package the volumes buttons, I use my original one and the problem is with them. I am really disappointed because when I set the original piece they fits good. So it shouldnt be me...

How much are they asking for ?
Lenses can be had online at spares parts sites. OEM as well. This guy says he got them off ebay.

I bought them for 7$. But when I set them, my original volume buttons doesn't have enought room and they force into the volume board freezing the system. Because it's like you keep pressing volume up or down button. I got this problem with both.
First I thought the problem it's me, but when I set the original broken one they fits good. And also other peoples on the net about BISLINKS LENSES had my same problem.
LG ask 80€ (95~$).

It won't. Because fp reader is included only with the original lcd. I will try to use the old one, but I have doubts that it will work.
Update. The screen and back cover arrived. Everything works just fine. Even the "3d touch" . I have 4/128 version. By dissambling the phone I had destroyed the vibrator motor. Will order another one. Also dont have FP reader and I wont put it back, because ive glued the new screen pretty well. In other words, for 50€ the destroyed phone raised for the new life.

There's still hope - screen replacements!
Heard the Pixel 6 Pro is repairable. However, you have to enroll the fingerprint scanner which is easy with Google's tool.
True Google quoted about 240 to repair 189.99 plus vat I'm just using a HTC u11+ atm
You have two numbers in the bottom of your screenshot you might want to blur those out.
Sorry to see your pixel die, yes screen replacement is possible but to be honest, you can be refurbs for like £300 last time i checked.
probably cheaper on marketplace, so a replacement sounds sadly more economical. (as replacements also carries the risk of being done improperly/with substandard parts/ etc. etc.
