[Q] Need some advice please - HTC TOUCH PRO 2 T-MOBILE

Hello,
I have a HTC touch pro 2 and I removed the sticky thing (looks something like below)

I did this to fix the "oil spill of death" which made my digitiser unresponsive anyways... thats a different question...
I removed it and now it is all dirty and covered with gunk - its no good coming back on my screen. So without it my phone works and here are my options:
A) Buy a new sticker off ebay for $22
B) Dont buy a sticker, but use my full mirror screen protector instead.
I just dont know the role of that sticky thing. Could someone please help me out?
Cheers!

Okay, you need that sticky thing, because it's your touchscreen!
Without it, your phone is very hard to use.
Just get one of ebay, stick it onto your phone connecting the cable, and it should work again.

Thats the first layer of your screen!
Can you send me the ebay link

Hi
Hi,
Well my touch screen works fine without it. Its not on ebay (by itself) but I can buy a digitiser that comes with the sticker.
I dont know what to do.
Thanks

Well, then you probably haven't pulled off the complete digitizer. It should have a connector to it. If it hasn't, you only pulled off the top layer. Either way, you should replace it, because if something happens to your phone now, it is unprotected.

Thanks steyn_e I think your probably right!

That is pretty special, i havent seen anyone before who hade just half of his digitizer pulled off.
Good luck with repairing it.
Steyn

yeah thanks.
i chose not to buy a new digitiser because the sticker is not sold seperately, I guess a screen protector PLUS a hard case will do the job. If I buy a new digitizer, I have to peel off the sticker...... or replace the digitiser. I dont want to get messy so ill take the easy n cheap option

[Q] Which Screen to use to fix my cracked Evo?

So I first cracked my Evo's screen in January, but it wasn't such a big deal since I could still use the phone just find. Then two weeks ago took my phone to Jamaica and dropped my phone on a concete floor. Now it's cracked even worst and the touchscreen stopped working. So do I just need to replace the digitizer or the lcd? And which website should I get the digitizer from (or lcd :/)?
Ebay at $12.98 plus free shipping: http://cgi.ebay.com/USA-TOUCH-SCREE...aultDomain_0&hash=item4aaac3e980#ht_605wt_973
Amazon at $15.98 plus around $4.00 for shipping: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00427PUMK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1M0J6UC9S4O6R
I trust Amazon, but never bought anything from Ebay before. Yet I like Ebay's price.
Also, In the photos you'll noticed my Evo is plugged in charging but there's no notification light. Idk what's up with that.
First crack in January

Just taken w/ screen off
Screen on

Go with a digitizer that has many positive reviews because i got a digitizer with a hardware issue and it pressed itself all the time which made my phone pretty much unusable. But my digitizer did come with all the tools i needed.
Make sure you go to the durapower global site and purchase the HTC EVO 4G Digitizer Adhesive as youll need it to put the new digitizer on. Be patient with it because at first it will seem like its not double sided sticky. I reccomend taking off the more difficult side first because i did it the opposite way and had to cut some adhesive off kus i got dirt on it
When taking the digitizer off make sure u heat it up really good with a hairdryer or heat gun. and then very carefully peel it up with a pry tool starting at the top. I did not do this when i replaced mine and ended up breaking the lcd so you want to be super careful.

So I ordered the one from Ebay on Wednesday and FINALLY got it this afternoon (longest wait ever!). It took me nearly 4 hours to replace it. In case anyone want to know for in the future, the hardest part is separating the glass from the LCD. That part alone took me about 3 hours. Ended up that I was doing it completely wrong. I had to use a hairdryer and a flathead screw driver to separate it. And I just used the same adhesive to put the new touchscreen in.
So now the only problem is touchscreen isn't responding. I'm hoping it's just a loose cable. Also, the screen I got from Ebay looks used, fyi.

N7100 Broken Glass

So after 2 weeks and on the 1st drop my GAlaxy Note 2 glass broke out... but the touch screen is 100% working. My question is, can i just replace the glass with this:
http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-glass-lens.html
Or do i need to change it all:
http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly.html
I want to know if like the i9100 and i9300 the gorilla glass is attached to the touch screen or not in the note 2.. i hope not.. thanks!

You do need to change it all.
I mean in Galaxy Note screen comes as glass + touchscreen like one part
Glass seems to be attached by glue
Sorry.
:crying:

If the touch screen is still working, you definitely don't have to replace the whole thing, just the glass on top which should cost only 30 dollars ish.
Sorry this happened to you

the glass and touch is one-part.

I just replaced the broken glass of my N7100 with a 30$ one from ebay.
It took me about 1.5h
You will need a heat gun and something to lift the broken glass of the actual display.
Start on top and work your way down, be very careful on the bottom of the phone, because the soft buttons are actualy glued to the glass.
My phone works ok now, i did get some small scratches in the display from the metal plyer i used to remove the pieces, but they are barely noticable when the screen is turned on.
Sometimes the digitizer misses a input, i only recognize this when playing a game with heavy touchscreen use, does anybody know a way to fix this..
Good luck!

Oh god.. $280 dollars!!!, might as well buy a used S3 then trade that for a note 2.

The only Thing I know is, that you must replace the entire display because super / amoled displays hermetically encapsulated ,so that oleds not age as fast / oxidize. I Think you have to replace the whole one.

It IS possible to just repair the glass..

Replacing glass on Note 2

Anyone noticing this?

On the back of the phone, towards the bottom of the back there are these marks/scratches that are popping up.
As you move your finger over them, you can feel the texture changes.
Why would these appear if I baby my phone, and have had a case on it from day 1.
It isn't making sense.
I tried to see if I could remove it with a cleaner, but no avail.
What are your thoughts?

I have seen these. Even with a case, you get dust(dirt particles) under the case. As you use the phone normally it does move a small amount in the case and that will scratch the back a little. At least this is what I think is happening as its happened with every phone Ive owned thats been cased.

Yes mine has it..... No case... But my last phone (xperia arc) went through more abuse and has no scratches. I don't have a clue what it is about that general area.

Got these as well. Exact same location. I guess the plastic backing finish is real easy to scratch up. Sucks but at least it is minimal.

I got them too, but at least I can just buy a new back or something.

I have tons of scratches on the back of mine. I set it in the cup holder when I listen to Pandora in the car. Recently these red marks have shown up... they won't rub off and I'm thinking its the color underneath the paint.

[Q] Protective film on new Tab S?

Hi everybody,
There seems to be a protective film on the display of my brand new Tab S 10.5. It is hard to see, just a bit around the home button and you can feel it in the corners. It doesn't come off easily. Should I keep trying to remove it or is it supposed to stay on?
Thanks for your help!

If its hard to remove I wouldn't touch it.

A picture would help

Yes please post a picture, I want to know. Because Santa bought my one and it's seems to have screen protection?

New Tab S LTE here,NO screenprotector on it

Here is a picture. As I wrote before, it is hard to see. The flash from the camera makes it more obvious though.
I assume reubenskelly1992 is probably right... I will leave it alone for now. Maybe I'll ask Samsung about it.
ludoke, you can't see or feel anything around the button?

Nope, nothing to see or feel around the home button,deffinetly no screenprotector on my device.
On my Galaxy S5 just the same

Odd I dont have that. I cant remeber if there was plastic when I first got it. There was only plastic around the edges and camera. I dont remeber any on tthe screen though.

That is odd. Never seen that. I know mine didn't come like that. I do have the titanium bronze one though so maybe it's different? I don't get why it would be however.. Does definitely look like there's something there.

no screen protection on tab s.. only tab 4, pro etc, on protection there are pictures it is not transparent..
