Digitizer
Sent from the Evo

If you want to have it fixed, or would like to sell it as is, please send an email to [email protected]
Thanks.

Take it into Sprint, they can't deny you for being rooted with a digitizer hardware problem. They'll just swap the screen out.

don't bother with his guy, if Sprint can't help you out, i can. this guy has 1 post smh...i can sell you factory parts directly from HTC, i already sold to one member on here, maybe he will chime in, jayharper08...try Sprint first, its the digitizer, but anyway are you using stock battery and stock charger?

they could argue that the root was to blame and not the digitizer. I'd restore to stock first.

yeah taking it in rooted and rom'd = not too smart. it's the digitizer, easy fix $0 for it so you're good.

+1 on the digitizer, its $25-30 bucks and pretty simple to change yourself as long as you have a heat gun and some common sense.
or yeah have sprint change it =)

[Q] cracked screen

I cracked my screen and the screen's gone black... It doesnt show any color any light nothing. I have no insurance and idk what to do lol. I went into the sprint store and they were no help they told me to buy an evo 4g lte or buy an iphone 4s. So i was hoping someone on the xda forums could help /: por favor lol. Is it possible to fix this or maybe resell?
Of course its possible to fix, but you gotta buy the parts. And of course you could resell it. If you won't fix it, somebody else will. If you do plan on selling it, I might be interested.

Go to a different repair center and ask for a one time courtesy replacement. Don't be pushy about it, if they say no, just leave.
If someone comes into my store with a cracked screen no TEP, nice to me, and generally upset, I'll replace it. Only once though, gotta learn your lesson.

Buying broken, obliterated, shattered Epic 4G Touch. Need motherboard

I do not care the condition, as long as you are positive the motherboard works.
The esn does not matter either. Report it lost if you want to blacklist the serial from the motherboard
Please I need this thanks.
A broken, obliterated, shattered Epic will most likely have a damaged motherboard. Try again.

Yes the esn would have to be clean since it is linked to the chips on the board which the average person wouldn't be able to remove/replace. They are micro soldered to the board and without a machine its pretty much damn near impossible for a human to work with, the.solder points are just too small and too close together for the human hand to avoid cross contacting when soldering

I will flash to another carrier therefore I dont need the esn. Thanks
Seriously? What has happened to xda? Just get on ebay or craigslist. If none of that crap matters you will be way more likely to find something legit on proven sources on ebay then starting a thread.
I have a broken E4GT that Sprint wouldn't fix for me. The power button is stuck down internally so it would constantly turn on then reset. I had to report it stolen to get a new one for 100$.

I rather buy it from people that know about phones and where they would most probably be alot kinder, then from an ebay seller from a corporate (Eg All-tech) that know nothing and cannot answer my questions.

HELP! Is Wifi permantly broken?

My friend has a tmobile galaxy s2 and his mom stabbed the phone right in what I believe is the Wifi reciever. There is corrosion appearing, and there is a terrible smell to it. The wifi radius is severely limited in zone, and wont read every network. There is a picture below, and is there anything I can do to revive the phone wifi receiver?

Physical damage can only be fixed by insurance claim. Will set your friend back 130 bucks. Now, the bigger issue is why would your friends mom stab a phone? Was he protecting himself with the phone from getting stabbed!?

XDA is great at fixing things, hacking and tweaking things.
but if you read all the threads here, you will soon realize 99.999999% of the things people do here are all software related.
You have physical damage done to the phone, there is really no way to figure it out..
Get a new or used phone!

If u have the technical knowhow then it's possible to fix it.. You could search YouTube and see what pops up in ways of some kind of tutorial /guide.. But if you are not the kind of person who knows how to do it then it would be way easier just to get it professionally repaired..

Look up t989 teardown. It looks like that is not the WiFi module, but the signal lead. Seems like its part of the mother board I believe. None the less, if it's just a copper lead it should be repairable. Being exposed may be causing some shorting out leading to the damage and bad connection. Repairing may not make it perfect though.
I was trying to find a tear down video, but couldn't find one. What component would I have to change?

Broken LCD :,(

I have a ATnT phone in storage for a while. When I took it out I notice the LCD was cracked. Bad timing too. I went on ebay and saw that the LCD is only sold with the Digitizer. Is there any way I can just buy the LCD? If so, where?
Reason I posted this in the TMOBIL section because I will be using this phone on T Mobil network. I will buy an unlock code but I wanted to see if the phone would work as if it was design for tmobil network. Will 4g work a it should?
Unfortunately not.
Everything that I have seen and with the tear downs, it seems like the LCD is fused with glue or something to the digitizer.
They need to be replaced in conjunction with each other from everything I have found.
Good news is you can unlock it for free http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023709

Cracked my screen and have to return to T-mobile.....

So I went to work today and forgot my phone was in my jacket pocket when I went to roll it up to stash on my bike(HD) and when I went to retrieve it I pulled it out with a cracked screen. The entire bottom 2/3 of the screen/touch screen does not work at all. I am able to boot into recovery/download mode to restore it back to stock via odin before I return it BUT will that also reset my flash counter as well so that my deeds go undetected?

Because it won't be a warranty claim, you have to file an insurance claim. I would dunk it in the sink full of water before sending it back until it is completely ruined and they can't boot it either....

You could have just claimed it stolen, and you wouldn't be required to send anything back. It's the same deductible, so what's the difference?
You could have kept the other one for parts(camera, headphone jack, etc)

If you are going thru insurance don't worry about it.
That would be considered damage to the phone anyway.
Root is just not covered under regular warranty.
Not once have I seen a insurance claim issue for being rooted.

Awesome then I won't even worry about messing with it, ill just wipe it and send it as is.
On the other side of things I purchased an insurance policy through squaretrade for my phone. It is half the cost of T-mobiles insurance(11.99/month vs. 5.95/month) and offers the same if not better protection than T-mobile and the deductible is only $99 vs. the $175 I paid T-mobile/Asurion. The only downside from what I see is they try and repair your phone rather than replace it, which it says is guaranteed in 5 days or it's free! Hopefully I never need to use it or find out, but if I do I guess I can live without my phone for that long. Lol

I personally prefer repairs over replacement devices. Replacements aren't new, they are factory refurbished.
