Hey guys,
So I have an HTC Desire from Telus. Unfortunately I dropped the phone and the screen is cracked. The touchscreen itself still works fine, simply the glass appears to be cracked. I have a couple of questions:
1) Even though the touch screen works fine, do I have to replace the digitizer?
2) Does anyone have a decent retailer they can recommend for the part that is required? Remember, the Telus HTC Desire has an SLCD display.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciate!

Hello!
I broke my HTC Desire, the screen stays black and I perceive two cracks on the LCD.
I tested with androidscreencast and the phone works properly, the touch too.
After some research on e-bay, I found a seller offering me two screens, I am unable to put links then the seller is called: antoine_tech
The problem is that it does not indicate whether they are or AMOLED displays DCL when my phone is original DCL.
My question is, is it possible to put an AMOLED screen instead of a DCL?
Thank you for your reply.
Probably not. Talk to HTC

up, if someone knows more
Hello everyone,
I know there's a lot of threads about broken screens out there but I could not find a precise answer to my question.
This is what happened. My HTC Desire (with AMOLED) fell on the ground. When I picked it up I noticed a crack. It seemed like it was not on the touchscreen but underneath it. Also, in the first hours the display worked well like always despite the crack. Then, the next morning, I woke up to a surprise. The screen was now loosing it's colors and everything was in a kind of violet range. The next day, the screen was completely black (but I could feel that the touchscreen was still working because of the small vibration during unlocking).
Of course, the "official" screen replacement is too expensive for me and I think I can do it myself. The problem is that I can not find a site that's selling AMOLED screens for HTC Desire, only LCD. So there's my question : is it possible to replace an AMOLED screen with a LCD screen (on the HTC Desire)? Or maybe someone knows a site that's selling AMOLED screens for HTC Desire?
Thank you in advance.
Switching screen for screen won't work. At least you would need to replace the digitizer too, and I'm not sure will it work with your motherboard. Total cost of screen + digitizer would be around $110.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I know people mentioned different digitizer for different screens. I'm not sure that's true but a different motherboard would be required.

I just recently replaced both digitizer and LCD on my Desire Z and now every time i tough the left side of the screen it senses that i touch the right side kinda like a mirror. One other detail to note is that i used a T-mobile G2 digitizer for a replacement part instead of a Desire Z digitizer which would say HTC on top rather than T-Mobile. Im trying to figure out if G2 digitizers use a reverse polarity for some reason, or is my part is defective or if maybe i did something wrong during the install. Any ideas?
Have you tried a reboot and/or a different/custom rom?
My dz's started acting like this when I unrooted, and a reboot fixed it.

I've A8181 HTC Desire with AMOLED screen. It sucked moisture but that didn't stop it from work. I got it cleaned, but again it trapped some moisture.
As it was not stopping to work or to suck moisture, I continued to use.
Now, I got an offer of broken HTC Desire. I wish to buy it to use it's screen. It's A8183 and that means it uses different frequency. The screen is AMOLED.
Should I try to replace the screen or digitizer ? Will they work with my original A8181 ?
Hey guys!
Yesterday, I tried to fix a HTC desire which had a broken digitizer. I bought a new digitizer and followed the instructions here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566313
After I assembled the phone again, I felt the vibration when I turned on the phone, but the screen didn't turn on. The buttons were lightning up as well so I guess everything is fine, but the LCD.
I think I did everything good during the assembly, and I even tried to do it like 4 times, but everything is the same. What can be the problem? Did I screw up the LCD?
Should I try to buy an Amoled for the desire and put it in?
Thank you in advance!
What screen did your desire have before? If it was an Amoled, then you should have bought an Amoled replacement, not a lcd one.
