Motorola DROID MAXX: Bottom Keys - Replacement digitizer

Mon, 09 Mar 2015 10:18:30 -0700

Hello everyone.

I broke the digitizer's DROID MAXX XT1080, the LCD is not damaged but the three keys under screen do not work anymore.

I would understand if i have to replace only the outer glass or even the flat cable and how do i evaluate the two alternatives.

Many thanks

Motorola DROID MAXX: Motorola DROID MAXX XT1080 Screen replacement caused a bootloop?

Mon, 14 Sep 2015 16:26:24 -0700

I'm a bit at a loss here. I'm no expert but replacing the screen shouldn't have this effect. I have taken the phone apart and checked the LCD connection about a hundred times, and it all ends up the same: I plug in the phone (battery was dead when I did the screen replacement) and the Motorola splash screen comes up, then goes away, then comes back, then goes away, indefinitely until I unplug it. I'm at a total loss as to what I should do next... the phone worked fine before I fixed the screen. So far, I'm just letting the phone do its thing on the off chance a low battery is causing this. I doubt it though. I will check back in a few hours when my last class gets out, but for now I need ideas. Help!

Edit: Charging does nothing, and after an hour I'm getting no response from the power button. I think the battery has become disconnected, I'm going to have a closer look and report back.

Motorola DROID MAXX: How can I replace the USB jack/port on the Droid Maxx?

Tue, 05 Apr 2016 09:16:29 -0700

Is it possible to replace the USB port or jack (I'm not sure the exact term) on my Droid Maxx? The phone was dropped with a charging cable inserted into the port and it has come loose on the board and I can no longer charge or transfer data through the port. If not replace, could I re-solder the part back onto the board? Any advice is appreciated.

Motorola DROID MAXX: My charging port is busted. Can I replace the port?( Qi charger works)

Tue, 09 Feb 2021 13:33:24 -0700

I have a Droid MAXX that was handed to me by my mother as my first phone, but upon trying to charge it, it doesn’t appear. Looking very closely with my mother’s phone camera I am able to say that the Micro B “pins” are all yanked out of place. I tried fixing them with tweezers, but I made the problem worse. The good news is that the Qi wireless pad still works and I have a charger for it, but I would like to know if it is possible to desolder the old port and replace it with a new one?

Motorola DROID MAXX: My phone is not charging I wanna transfer my files but phone is dead

Fri, 08 Jun 2018 22:59:30 -0700

I'm gonna do the best I can to explain this. My phone is a Droid Maxx when it's connected to a charger it shows its charging right but then it doesn't charge after that battery charging screen turns off. To prove that it is doing it. I've attempted to charge it on the computer. My computer kept making notifications sounds to detect, and undetect the usb on my computer. I wanna be able to transfer all my stuff on the phone but it's at 0%.

Is there anyway I can transfer all my items to the computer if my phone battery is dead.

Motorola DROID MAXX: Droid Maxx 2 glass replacement

Fri, 02 Mar 2018 18:44:51 -0700

Hello, I just ordered a Droid Maxx 2 with a cracked screen. I ordered the replacement glass but I have some questions. I realize this is not the XT1080 Maxx but there is no category for my phone. How would I go about replacing the glass? When I remove the glass will I need to use LOCA glue or will I not? Should I just replace the entire LCD assembly or should I attempt the repair? Thanks for any help!
