Re: Successful build, but still some things to figure out

Thank you! I don’t know how many times I had to readjust the gears while I re-attached the boards together. I must have messed this up. Time to take it apart again! 😃

Re: Removing parts

Alright. WD40 worked. So now I think the problem is that the Front Bearing and Faceplate parts are not to spec. They don't fit snugly together--the Front Bearing rides up on one side, and no matter what I do (and how much glue/plastic I shave off), the two parts do not fit together completely as sho...

Re: I am confused, I think

When I get my phone assembled I'm excited to try it on Mint Mobile, VZ, and AT&T. I assume VZ and ATT won't work, but I thought I saw a chance that Mint might. I can't wait. :D
