I have recently somehow broke my sim card tray and part of the tray and remained stuck inside the phone as the rest of the tray came out. I can manage to move part of the frame with the sim card key, but what's holding the piece inside the slot is the very end. It sort of wraps in an L shape if you can picture that. I really do not want to risk disassembling my phone, as I am paranoid I will damage something. The sim card AND the microSD can no longer be read. Im guessing it's due to this piece being stuck.

Thanks,

Peter

Anyways, proximity sensor. Normally, one can turn that off (disable it) in the call settings under the phone app. Unfortunately, I do not see such an option on the Q6.

The purpose of the proximity sensor is to turn off the screen when you put the phone to your ear so you ear doesn't touch the "touch screen" and hang up calls. (You can just as easily tap the power button quickly to turn off the screen before putting it to you ear but LG thought a proximity sensor might automate things a bit.)

The problem I have, is that I have a severe visual impairment so I often have to put the phone's screen inches from my eyes to see it and, as a consequence, the proximity sensor shuts the screen off. Bloody !&&*.

I just want to disable the proximity sensor completely and there's no option in settings. And yes, I've looked MANY times.

It got wet though not soaked - rained on , predictably would not boot. The moisture telltales all turned orange.

I dried it out and it booted fine, screen lights normally, but the touch screen will not work at all. The only way to get it to light is the home button.

What, if anything, can be done to correct this?

Thanks.

I screwed up - can anyone help?

I attempted to replace the sim/sd reader on this phone. (The reader had been damaged by a broken sim tray; a piece of the tray was completely stuck in the back of the reader, and one of the contacts for the sim had snapped off).

I set to work removing the broken reader: flux on, taped surrounding area, and heated up with a rework hot air gun. The solder seemed reluctant to let go, and I was worried I was overheating other components. I pulled too hard on the reader and ripped a bunch of pads off the board. (It’s amazing what you can achieve with a lot of inexperience).

Please see pictures. There is a total of 10 pads pulled out, plus one which has half lifted.

There is nothing else wrong with this phone, and I would like to fix it if at all possible; however it's not worth spending much money on, so I don't really want to send it away - I would rather have a go at it myself. I know its beyond my current skill level to guarantee a good result, but I would like to have a shot at it just for the sake of learning, and if it works, it’ll be a bonus and I'll be a very happy chap!

• Can this be repaired, or is it impossible?
• Where and how do these pads connect - i can't see any traces?
• Do I need a schematic for this board? ( I have tried scouring cyberspace without any luck, but maybe looking in the wrong places).
• Do the 8 pads round the edge of the Reader need a different approach to the 2/3 pads which are for the microSD contacts?

Any advice, comments, etc from all the gurus out there would be very much appreciated.

Thankyou!

Is it jumpstartable or can I swap out the BL-T32 for another battery?
