Hi friends!
I knew this would happen....
Today the trinity made me so so so nervous that my nerves collapsed and I hit it very hard against my car floor. Result: Broken display. The poor trinity has little to do with it, it was mostly windows mobile fault... details: highway, inminent exit, incoming call, tomtom locked, windows mobile semi-locked, touch screen quite unresponsive ... well.... I know... but I had to blame something.... :S
Ok.. so... for what I found in these forums.. the LCD display is not broken, it looks like it's what you call the "digitizer" (the touch-sensitive display layer).
My question: Is it easy to change only the digitizer, or is better to go for a full display replacement? I'm changing the case to white, too... my black one was badly peeling...
Thanx in advance.
I can't see it bing too difficult. dititizers are available here:

Hi there,
I currently have an M3100 (Hermes) and the touch screen on it is great. I like to use my fingers so if I'm in tomtom I can push the buttons without really needing to worry about how I press the screen. (e.g. I normally just smudge it up with my no-fingernail fingers).
Work got a batch of Orbits in, but the screen is really really awful. It seems to be that the screen is very particular how you touch it in order for it to recognise it has been touched. I normally find myself turning my fingers round to try and use what little nail I have to just touch a small surface area to get it to work.
To be honest it is rubbish - and it's the same for anything.
Anyone any ideas how to reduce its sensitivity or if there is a new touch.dll that can be used?
Thanks a lot!
Dan
Well i'm still waiting mine to arrive, however a screen protector must remove a little of the sensitivity...
Having had a Hermes as my last phone, I personally dont have a problem with the Orbits touchscreen.
The screen protector that came with it from O2 was crap and I took it off. Too spongy and did not help at all with the "feel" of the touchscreen.
I had a Martin Fields protector on the Hermes and am awaiting delivery of one for the Orbit.
But just on its own it reacts fine, dont notice any difference between the Orbit and Hermes.
Just my view. Not everyone uses their phones the same way.

I'm not using one unfortunately.. I wish I had an excuse for it's assness!
This is the 3rd HTC touchscreen phone I have owned and I have never experienced such phenomena...
However I have noticed that while in tomtom, I get the quickest responses when I tap with my finger backwards so the flat part (not the tip) of my finger nail makes contact with the screen.
My Orbit is my 5th HTC phone.....screen works fine....maybe you've got a duff phone??
Hello Guys,
Just brought mine yesterday. I have this clicking sound when i tilt back the display flat in order to slide back into the phone body...Is this a mechanical problem or just normal.....Hoping to find a peace of mind...

You have found your peace (got the same click as well).
Cheers, Dela
Yeah, it's supposed to do it! I think it's an improvement over the Kaiser, as you won't try to slide it in unless you hear the click to confirm it's shut properly, so it's less likely to get damaged.
I get the same click, it sounds a bit destructive at first and had me worried!
On a similar theme, has anyone noticed the ribbon cable connecting the screen to the body is awfull exposed and vulnerable? It's safely hidden away on the Kaiser.
The ribbon cable is hidden under the black belt (movement restrictor) that you see when looking from behind of the screen
joining in the confirmation fun here. I click as well but i prefer that click
Tilt a little loose
Hello,
speaking of tilting I have another question. When the screen is tilted, it's a little "loose", it moves forward and backward for 2,3 millimeters .... only mine?
Thanks
(sorry for my bad english ...)

look here:

it appears to be normal
Thanks ... I didn't know what wobbly mean ....
Had the TP2 for a week now, really impressed with it, but.......
the plastic screen on top of the touch sensistive screen has come away so when i click I can feel the plastic screen move about 1-2mm before it hits the touch sensitive part.
Has anyone else experienced this, if so is there a fix (heating it or something lol?) or am I in a possition to send it back?
Is this the screen protector that has come away or part of the screen itself?
If it's the screen protector that you have applied, then apparently you can take it off, wash it and air dry it then reapply. Having said that I've never managed to do it, I always end up buying a new one!
If it is part of the screen then DO NOT fiddle about with it, send it back!
I have the same problem.
In my opinion in the middle of the screen + left/right, there is less sensity than under and above he screen.
I think in this part of the screen the space between lcd and his plastic cover is bigger than elswhere.
I have tested it with resco explorer.
I have tried to marked some files from up and down and with a slightly pressure, the upper and under area recognized the input, but in the middle it does not.
Perhaps my Rhodium lacks,
and perhaps it is overstated?
No idea.
It would be nice to get some statements from you guys.
Sorry for my english

Exact same problem as me, I don't think it was like it when I first got it, lets give it some time and see if others experience the same problem - not sure if this will be covered by warrenty or not.
same problem for me. i can press the screen for about 1-2mm down. but only in the center of the screen.
sometimes there is a click noise, when pressing the screen in the center and under the speaker at the htc logo.
did anyone send it back?
do you mean ?
Do you mean that the screen in the middle is "wobbly" ?
I think I have the same Issue In the middle it feels like if there is some space between the plastic covering the screen and the lcd.
and no, I dont have a screen protector on it atm...
This "issue" that is being discussed here is known as the screen flexing. Unfortunately, this is an attribute of all resistive touch screens.

Im a bit relieved now. So it is normal to be like that or a problem with the screen that happens sometimes due to the nature of the resistive screen _

It's normal. All resistive touchscreens are like that (check out your/someone else's Nintendo DS, it's the same). The flexing is pretty good (ie, minimal) on the TP2. It's much worse on older generation devices.
thanks

thanks for the information.. I didnt knoiw that
Hi guys. I just a have a problem with my display. Saturday I kind of droped down my phone (face down) and since then I have a spot on my display. I attach you 2 images just to tell your opinion. Is it a display problem that can be solved or do I have to change the screen. I don`t have any problem with my touch screen but it really bothers me that spot.
Thanks.
So my phone screen has been acting erratically after a drop. Clicks on buttons/icons by itself, makes its own calls when in the address book, I have a difficult time typing the right buttons... for example, if I push 5, i get an 8, or if I type 6 I get a three... sometimes there are dialog boxes I cant click on due to being in the middle of the screen..... Other positions on the screen work fine....
I did replace this broken digitizer with another one that had cracks, but the phone stopped acting erratically.. I just had the button issues... which I attribute to the cracked screen...
So my theory is that my digitizer broke, although no visible breakage lines/cracks... I get ready to order a new digitizer when some one tells me the digitizer does nothing more than the utilizes the 4 bottom buttons (home, menu, etc) and plays the role of the glass protector from the lcd. ... and that I need a new LCD... Not a new digitizer.....but I thought the LCD was nothing more than the display screen, as in a tv..... I thought all the input was done via the digitizer screen.. Am I wrong??? Did I miss the boat on the role of the digitizer and the LCD? Thanks!

What ROM are you using? I've found that many non-sense ROMs ability to sense your input can be glitchy and unreliable. Had this problem forever with CM7. Thought it was my screen or it was scratched, but after testing out a few sense ROMs, I've never had a problem since. And I've dropped this bad boy many a time.
