Think my M7 is about to bite the dust

Yesterday I noticed my phone hot and noticed the screen was bulging trying to separate from the phone body. I placed in my apt AC vent and most of the swelling went down. So figure time for a new phone but not going with HTC this time. I have had HTC since the droid incredible and figure time for a change.

My question to you is go for the galaxy S6 edge or the Verizon nexus 6. I am looking for a good camera and sorry HTC has let me down on many of the previous phones I owned. I will keep my old M7 as still workable but that just in case as don't want to be without a phone. This had been a great community with many great ROMs except that darn Google one that my phone seemed to not like as it would only send one text and no more lol.

So guess this is kinda farewell but never posted much in here lol. So let's see what all you guys and gals suggest. Not looking for a note as it has to fit in my works shirt pocket lol. Less chance of breaking there than in my pants pockets.

[TUT] Get rid of the Dust in Front Camera

Hi, everyone. This time I'm gonna show you how to dismantling your Redmi Note 2 and how to avoid letting dust in the front camera.

First, these are the tools you need:

Quote:

1. Your RN2 2. Scissors 3. Double-sided tape 4. Foam rubber tape (Optional) 5. Alcohol 6. Tiny Screwdriver 7. Glasses cloth 8. Fingernail 9. Patient

Let get started!
First, screw up "12" tiny screws, two of it has stickers on it. I don't even want to send back China to repair it, so don't worry about the stickers.



now, you have to use your nail stick into the left corner of the phone, then follow the slit between main-board base and main-board cover.
You should slit the left side till the "volume - " button and stop here.
Now, stick into the first place and start to slit right, you'll meet right down corner, then keep on.
Keeps slit to the right up corner near the screw hole than stop here.
Here's the most difficult part, you should carefully hold both side of the cover and slowly pull up them by your prefer hand.
The other hand, again use your nail to slit into it, this would be hard, so be patient and carefully, or you'll brake your main-board cover into two piece :D



After you finish previous step, it is getting easy now.



What I point out is the front camera module, carefully pick it up with your nail , you can clean the dust now ;)
Be very carefully that don't bend the cable or you'll screw all up :silly:
Use whatever you like to clean up the space between camera and glass.
Now, times to seal it up!

Use the double-side tape to stick on the back of the front camera module
First, cut it to fit the size of camera and stick on it one by one. Don't forget to remove both of the sticker.
I use 4 piece of the tape. Remember, don't remove the last sticker of the tape!
After that, you can put back your camera module.

Now, you can put back your main-board cover and try to boot your device, if it boot up and nothing hurt, then you are free to go :good:
