HTC Droid DNA: What do I do if my phone is continually running slow?

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 14:25:56 -0700

My phone is a couple years old and it is starting to slow down drastically. Sometimes apps take a while to load and messages and emails take longer to send. I figure that it could be from all of the information stored on my phone but I'm not sure. Is there anything I can do to increase my phone speed?

Thanks!

Since I updated my phone, everytime I go to send a text message I set the font to small, but when I go back to the text thread the font size is back to its original size. In the font size menu it says its set to small. Any ideas?

Hello there,

I got a butterlfy S which is almost identical to the droid DNA.

HTC Droid DNA: Can I separate the LCD from the backlight?

Mon, 29 Feb 2016 15:42:16 -0700

I'm about to order a bare HTC Droid DNA screen from Aliexpress for the sole purpose of using it in a DIY projector, I need to remove the default backlight and would like to know if it is at all possible and - if so - how to do it?

It'll probably look like this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-LCD-S...

I've already found a method for separating the glass screen using dry ice hackaday.com/2016/02/11/dry-ice-is-nice-for-separating-broken-phone-screens/ but I don't know how the backlight is attached in most of the phones, particularly Droid DNA.

Thanks!

HTC Droid DNA: The on off button on top is not working right

Wed, 25 Mar 2015 20:18:15 -0700

The button is pretty loose and I have to use my finger nail to try to get it to come on, if it doesn't come on after many tries I have to plug it into the charger or wait till someone calls me. If by chance I get it to come on with the button then I can't shut it off with the button and have to wait until the screen turns off after a minute. The button is also a little more recessed than it should be. Any ideas? Can I open it up and check the button or would that not be a good idea?

HTC Droid DNA: Need urgent Digitizer adhesive Help! Must have this done tonight!

Fri, 13 Mar 2015 20:22:42 -0700

Guys, bottom line,i have a droid DNA i need done tonight.

I'm replacing the whole digitizer, and assumed the expensive digitizer that included lcd, would include the adhesive! Well it doesn't..

Bottom line, i cleaned up the bezel mount and am ready to roll.

Can i use this 3m 2mm double sided tape? Do i tape the mount or do i tape the sides of the digitizer?

As you can see, the old, broken digitizer has some old factory glue on the side...(in the picture)

im assuming i should tape the digitizer.....
