hello friends,
i do not know whether i am posting this thread in the right place or not.but i need and expect urgent help from techies like you.
i am from india and i am using a sprint vogue here with reliance network since one year without any issue.i am using NFSFAN V12 6.5 rom and it works fine.
but since 3 days i have been unable to use the phone as the screen started to respond erratically.it did not respond well to touches.i tried to align the screen multiple times.but the cross mark also did not respond properly and it moved around slowly and it required hard push in place of soft touch.
then i tried hard reset more than once.but the situation is same.
please suggest the course of action to take so that i can get out of this situation.
Maybe not the same cause as yours but a few weeks ago I was in a call and when I went to hang up the screen wouldn't respond at all. At first I thought the phone was frozen then after a soft reset I realised that the touch screen (digitizer) had failed completely. I could still mostly navigate around and make calls through the phone book. My phone was purchased (for $0 on a contract) from Bell (Canada) and is still under warranty. After a 2 hour phone call with various agents and supervisors they just shipped me out a replacement one. It took about 2 days to receive.
Before calling Bell I looked around the net and found a replacement digitizer (or Touch Pad) for Dopod 6900 which the manufacturer says is fully compatible with the Bell CDMA Touch (Vogue). Here is the URL:
http://www.ipmart.com/main/product/Touch,Pad,with,Ribbon,for,Dopod,6900,CDMA,Phone,,Original,new,,107578.php?prod=107578&ref=rss
or you can GOOGLE for these terms:
Touch pad Dopod 6900 (CDMA) Phone - 107578
It is about $21 USD.
Hope this helps.
I second the idea that it is a digitizer. I had a buddy with the corner just lifting up on the digitizer and his phone wouldn't accept the stylus properly. The digitizer isn't much thicker than your screen protector. It's probably about three times as thick as a piece of paper so if you think it is just your screen protector lifting up you might be wrong.

Hi,
has anybody encountered this?
Few days ago, I noticed my display is not "clean" anymore, it has a colorful oil-like blot on itself. The blot does not cover the whole display area, but has an almost
uniform 1 cm thick padding..that means the blot area is a smaller area in the middle of display.
By colour I mean a visual effect that resembles a drop of oil/gasoline in water on the street.
This happened to my sprint tp2 and soon after the touch screen stopped working. I just replaced it by buying a replacement screen/top housing on ebay. Quick an painless really, no need to fiddle with the digitalizer and all that mess. I hope this isn't the case for you but expect the worse my friend. Best wishes man.
You,ve probably got the dreaded Newton Rings. I had my screen replaced about 2 months ago by HTC for the same reason. Luckily I had a month left on my warranty so i got if fixed completely FOC. My warranty has now been extended to run out next month.
Update:
My newton rings got really bad a while ago, the screen stopped function at all.
I registered my TP2 directly to a Czech servicing company (I am Slovakian)..
Now comes the interesting part.
1) They sent a courier for the phone and it took them a veery long 3 business days to repair and send it back by a courier, directly to my office. The courier man had a specialy designed bag for protecting the phone on pickup.
2) They did not care at all about my forgetting to reflash stock SPL
3) Nobody asked them for this, but besides the digitizer, they also "repaired" (read replaced) the buttons, the silver border, the display and the rails in which the upper part moves. For free.
4) They flashed a Slovakian stock ROM for me..Who could have know, that know that such a thing existed
I have an HTC TP2 on US Cellular and just installed the latest Mightyrom (which is a fantastic rom)and I have a tiny problem. A few weeks ago I dropped my phone and the left hand bottom part of the screen popped out of the board a little bit. The screen responded fine until I pushed the screen back to it's original position and super glued the screen back into place. The screen completely stopped responding today! The buttons work, display works, and the keyboard works. But it will not respond AT ALL to touches on the screen. I cannot afford a screen or digitizer, and cannot afford another phone!! Please, provide me with info on what to do...I have always had faith in the HTC community and have never had any other phone...I can't even afford a penny phone. Can I replace the phone for free through the belief project if I'm under 18 without my dad knowing? Please provide the most effective way....email me or text my brother's phone (xxx) xxx-xxxx Ask for Nathan

Ok, first of all, NEVER give out your number on a public forum. Anyone on the Internet can see this thread whether or not they have an account.
Secondly, if it isn't responding to taps, then you will likely need to get a new digitizer. The only way to replace a device under warranty is to be the primary account holder for the line of service. Either tell your dad what happened, or get a new digitizer and replace it. There really aren't any other options.
Hi, I need help finding a digitizer for DHD.
Last week my phone fell down and the digitizer had broken. I know it didnt affected the screen because it still works fine, but its hard to touch the screen and to see in places with more light because the digitizer its all cracked.
If someone knows where to get a original digitizer for a fair price tell me please.
If possible I want to get it from somewhere in Europe because I live in Portugal and I dont want to pay all those taxes.
I have noticed now that I have another problems, maybe its just malfunction or the pieces are just out of place, but my Volume buttons and Wi-fi, GPS and Bluetooth only work when they want.
Im very upset because i had never left my phone falling on the ground and now I get all these problems for the first fall.
Its was not a big fall at all, it was less than 50 cm and it fell with the screen on the ground.
Thanks! :good:
Ill start from the begining, I bought my phone about a month ago brand new from T-Mobile. The next day as I was getting into my car the phone slid out of my pocket and into the hole in the seat in between it and the center console, when I retrieved it there was a fine crack going across the screen. The LCD was not cracked and the phone functioned perfectly.
The next day after this while the phone was in my pocket the screen cracked again. Again the LCD was working fine. About a week later I sent the phone in for repairs (just a random guy nothing official as T-Mobile, Samsung and Asurion said I was SOL).
After about a week turn around I received the phone back, working perfectly and the screen fixed. About a day or two later the screen started freaking out (picking things I didnt touch and flying through the home screens on its own). Then all of a sudden the lower portion of the screen (just a little bit bigger than the lower app row) just stopped responding to touch all together.
I just now removed the screen myself thinking that be botched putting the screen back on. The LCD is in perfect condition. No burn marks, cracks, discolored pixels, anything. I then removed the case checking all the connection on the motherboard and everything seems secure.
I dont know what else to do maybe someone here can give me some suggestions or ideas. If all else fails I will file a claim and get a new one through asurion. Im just trying all my options before I burn more $$$ on this phone.
Thank you ahead of time for any help.

Sounds like a defective digitizer. Have you talked to the guy who did the replacement?

Ive tried but hes not responding to my text/calls
Call once more leave your name number and issue. If you dont hear back within 3-4 business days, call from a different number and plan constructively how to broach the issue. call recording might be an idea.

It was a paypal transaction, I just went ahead a filed a refund notice to his email.
Curious, why would Asurion say you are sol, isnt that what they are for? Isnt it accident insurance?
My wife got a new phone 3 weeks ago (Samsung S5) and in the process was given a "free" Samsung Tab3. Last week the tablet fell of a table and the screen cracked so I decided to play Mr.Wizard and replace the screen. Got the replacement screen, saw the video online and all went pretty smooth. Turn the tablet on and all is still well. Then am trying to set up her e-mail and notice that the 1 on the keyboard does not work. I downloaded an app called Simple Touch Screen Tester and come to find out that the part of the screen where the 1 would be (in portrait mode) is not responding to any touches. If I press down hard on the screen some areas do respond but not all.
Is it possible I got a defective screen? Would spending another $ 20 be worth it?
Or should I return the tablet to Sprint (I assume it is still under the 30 day warranty) and not mention the fact the screen cracked and I replaced it? Can Sprint tell I replaced the screen?
Thanks for any help.

Since you already replaced the dig, you know what's involved. If you're good at what you do, then Sprint can't tell. I've had a Samsung tab with a dead band within which no touch would register. Sent it to Samsung and all they did was update the firmware. But it can be hardware-related. If you bought a replacement lined with tape, it's possible the back of the digitizer didn't stick evenly to the frame 'cause you did not clean all the glue residue before. That certainly can cause problems. Then you may want to check the connection to the motherboard. It should click when you snap it on correctly. The way Samsung digitizer are built, it doesn't feel like yours is defective. I've had one that literally was smashed to pieces yet persisted.
