I replaced shattered screen using the digitizer from eBay for $15. Everything is fine but the four buttons on the bottom of the screen. I did it twice re opened it still no. Anyone else had this issue?
Anyone ? Ned help
i did the same thing, but only the lights of the buttons didnt work. the buttons themselves did. are you sure they are not working??
what the eeefff where's the help at??
Sprint tech here, I'm assuming they're not lighting up at all much less responding to the haptic feedback? Might just have a bad set of touch panels along with LEDs under the digitizer.. Let me know. I've seem a couple of phones like that lately after people replacing them themselves. Possible might just be a bad screen all together??

I experience that the touch becomes bad and even stops to respond if i have the phone on my desk and only using a finger. Its like a grounding fault. If i have the USB cable or charger con8nected there is no problem, or if i have one finger on the casing or holding the device, its no problem.
But when the phone is lying solo on table, its hard to use touch. (i have no screen protection)
I will post a video of this to better explain what i mean.
Im wondering if capacitive screens is ment to be this way, or if i should get it replaced.
This will make it hard to use in car having it in a holder...
I have noticed exactly the same and been investigating about it.

Does not happen to me. I put the phone directly on the desk, I have a screen protector on, using only one finger on the touchscreen works perfectly.
I just got my invisible shield, and the problem just got worse.
I guess i have to get it replaced :/
Donnt wanna be wihtout it ><
Yep I would get it replaced, just check mine at it works fine any which way.
Works OK here, just tested it out.
also no probs
Ok, thanks guys.
Maybe it does'nt like my fingers
Here is what I need help with. My niece dropped her Evo and shattered the screen completely. Before I order another screen. I wanted to see if it still boots up. Well all I get is the orange charging light when plugged in. I only get one vibrate and no sound when trying to power up. Oh and the lcd screen does not turn on. I just need some input if this phone is worth trying to fix or use as target practice. Oh yeah, no insurance either. Any input would be great.
You know... I would honestly take it to Sprint. See what they can do.
I once dropped my iPhone and didn't have insurance. Screen shattered! I went into ATT and they replaced my screen right on the spot for 40 bucks...
Maybe you'll get a nice representative who understands that stuff happens...

If it was dropped, it could be a number of things: the digitizer, the lcd itself, the speaker could be loose, the whole board could be cracked...
I've tried many solutions, I completely wiped and reflashed different roms. I've also repartitioned my SD (doubt that would do much) .
and still my button's wont work.
Has there been reports of physically damaged bottom buttons? I see no damage whatsoever also lights up perfectly.
Just an idea!
Please help me, its the only phone I currently have in my apartment. Any help or suggestions would be amazing thank you !
Only thing I can think of if there is no damage to the digitizer part would be damage to the ribbon cable that connects the digitizer to the rest of the phone.

That's what I was thinking... is it difficult to open the phone up ? or is very sophisticated with the amount of screws?
Dude I had/have the same issue. I opened up my phone and put it back together. It started working better now. But whenever it stops working momentarily I just lock and unlock the screen.
there is a seperate flex cable for the buttons, it could be this or it could be the digitizer, either way relativley cheap and easy to replace. you can't always see the problem so just opening it up and looking may not tell you the problem.
but like strawmetal said, if there is some corrision on the contact points or some other intermediate problem, just opening the phone, disconecting it, cleaning things up, and putting it back together may fix your issues

Came down to once yesterday. Earlier I even had a thin horizontal strip on the screen where touch wouldn't work. I had a tough time accepting/canceling dialog boxes. This is no longer an issue. Hope the bottom capacitatives don't show any more problems today. Then I'll be back onto the rooted side of android.

EDIT: I got a lot of ghost activity on myscreen today. Fixed by lock and unlock but goes back to ghosting in a minute.
Today I didn't have any issues, phone was working normally, no unresponsive screen at all, capacitive buttons also worked well. It is puzzling...

What do you mean by ghost activity?

Ghost activity = screen being pressed without any interaction.

I have a friend's bone stock incredible 2 and it "totally quit working" on him. "Wen't black and never came back to life."
It has been dropped in a toilet before (clean... haha! Or so he says...) but he pulled the battery as quickly as he could, let it dry out for a few days, and said it worked fine for quite a long time after that. And then it just "quit" one day.
He has a replacement but he says he would like to get his Incredible back.
I told him I would see if there was anything I could do since I'm the "tech guy" around our group of friends.
I plugged in the phone and it does take a charge. After the light turned green indicating full charge, I unplugged the phone and tried to turn it on...
NOTHING.
I read how to boot into fast boot mode and found that you hold the volume down + power buttons at the same time.
When I do this, the phone flashes, very briefly, the fastboot menu screen and then goes black.
If I continue to hold the volume down + power buttons, the fastboot screen will briefly flash about every three seconds.
It flashes so quick that I cannot read any of the options but can see the word flashboot outlined in blue.
Does anybody have any suggestions that I should try before telling my buddy his phone is forever dead?
Much appreciation in advance!!!
That all sounds like bad hardware buddy, maybe replace the digitizer? Wild shot in the dark from me

I was thinking it was probably hardware related myself. As for the digitizer... Maybe? Who knows? Maybe there'e more to "it just quit working" than my friend is telling me? It would be fairly inexpensive and somewhat easy fix if it were the digitizer. I have replaced digitizers on multiple types of devices.
I'll probably just look up the price of one on eBay and let my buddy know how much they are with a disclaimer that there is absolutely no guarantee that a new digitizer will fix the problem.
Thanks
Hello Everyone,
I dropped my White SPH-L710 yesterday which I was using on page plus. It has no scratches, cracks or dents on the glass, however, there is no display and no touch functionality.
When I receive the call, I can hear it ring and everything but cannot answer because the touch isn't working. The screen is dark so there is no display either. Physically it looks fine but I suspect the LCD is a goner. Any help on what I can do to fix this thing. No insurance or warranty here. I'd rather not spend a lot of money on this.
Thanks in advance for the inputs.
I believe this happened to me one time when I had my epic. I freaked for an hour... Then decided to try and Odin a stock tar... Fixed it. If your phone is ringing and working it means your display is jacked. I'm sure there is little you can do. Hopefully you have insurance.
Try to Odin... But attempt to get your phone into download mode using your memory. Volume down + home button + power button.... Wait 5 seconds, press volume up. You should then be good to go. Only advice I have.

Thanks for the inputs.
@RealTic
I tried that. The display is dead, I can't see anything when booting up, or in the recovery, or in the download mode.
@Speedin07si
I was thinking of ordering this and trying to work on it myself. Can you point me to the thread, and let me know if this is the right thing to order given the description of my problem. Thanks, much appreciated.

Search how to take it apart, and check for loose ribbons. If everything looks good then purchase a new one.

@csmasn
Thanks. I opened it up and checked everything and it did not help. So I guess the only way to fix it is to buy the LCD and digitizer.
This might help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzFU_8kYDdw&list=PLCvcbJqO8a2335FcP8CKfA_IvIWlHv4VH&index=1
