    Broken screen

    Same thing for my 920. I did a bunch of research and it just isn't worth trying to pry the glass away from the LCD. Your best bet is to just but the whole new part with glass and LCD together. Easy to replace but a cell shop will probs only charge about $20 to install above the cost of parts

    Lumia 928 no longer auto-rotates the screen; compass also seems off

    Thanks for the tip, recovery app did not fix my issue. Phone has now started hanging while entering many apps (camera, messaging) and often freezes completely. I believe its just biting the dust entirely.

    Personally, my issues started in amber before any black update. It really sounds like a software or firmware thing, but at this point I'm thinking it has to be hardware (either motherboard or flex cable)

    Interesting... I hard reset myself, no luck (before downloading any apps or doing anything, still failed on factory settings). Then brought it in for repairs and they "flashed" a new fresh rom on to it, still nothing.

    Black update didn't fix it. I'm convinced its either moisture on the motherboard, or damaged sensors/ribbon cable. I've ordered the main flex cable on ebay and I'm going to heat it up to remove it from the PCB and then stick the new one on with 3M Conductive tape. I'll post results for those who...

    Best weather app

    Amazing weather. +1. The only thing I don't like is it stops your music when you open it, since the animations act like a video. Great app though, tons of tile customization.

    Ugh sorry to hear that man. Mine has been like this for months now. Waiting to get the black update to see if it miraculously fixes it, but I think not. I don't think id buy a windows phone again, even though I like the layout of things and wish the platform well. Thanks for letting me know I'm...

    Not working: Screen rotation, accelerometer, gyros, Games hub

    Brought my phone to a cell repair shop. Said my accelerometer is toast, so I suppose I need a whole new logic board! Guess the phone is staying how it is, not worth the money to fix that. So surprised this just started happening randomly.

    Any chance you can post a link to that post? I'm glad I have something to go on but I want to read your post for clarification. Having trouble believing the prox sensor affects the gyros and accellerometer (verified these aren't working with apps that check those sensors). Also hard to believe...

    Thanks for the follow up. I tried looking for you post but couldn't locate it. I don't have warranty anymore so I'll look into fixing that piece. Thanks again.

    Really hey? So prox sensor would be responsible for: rotation, compass, games hub crashing, and long delays when opening Facebook and UC Browser? All are happening at the same time when it isn't working, and all work fine after a soft reset for a short period of time. I have ghost armor on my...

    Hard reset. And didn't install anything... Still didn't work. So its not any of the apps I had. Any other suggestions?
