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 =)

how much for the digitizer,lcd and bezel assembled with the small cable?
Mine just broke. -_-
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I think it's not possible, or at least that's what the Sprint store told me. They just replaced my phone, then when I gave them the broken one, they stripped it down for parts.
There was someone on here trying to fix theirs, but it was really difficult & I don't know if they ever fixed it.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
It is possible but requires serious micro soldering skills , good (think commercial) soldering equipment and a magnifier with lights. The contact points are smaller than what you would find on IC's on a motherboard.
Thanks for the info guys.
Plainjane, was your evo rooted when you took it for repair. I'm not sure they will repair mine. It's rooted and I know there's a way to unroot but I don't have the phone insurance.

It'd be best to unroot it. And if they swap it [which they should] I think you'll be okay.
I dropped my E4GT in a puddle :crying: and, long story short, am getting a replacement in the mail tomorrow or the day after. Is my refurbished E4GT likely to have the ICS update installed? Has anyone recently received a replacement phone? I am hoping that it is not, because of awful battery life.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Even if it is it o lay takes like 10 mi urea to get back to gb

I'm finding conflicting information on getting back to GB. Would you mind pointing me in the direction of the method you used?

Oops, I bricked it trying to change partition sizes and I'm not getting to the downloader. I'm looking for recommendations for JTAG service. There's a shop in eBay that will do it but if there are other considerations or recommendations, I'm all ears.
Just by a jig or send me your phone.

I just got mine back today, works great and JB miui installed flawless. They were quick too. But only do it if your device isn't being recognized in device manager. And make sure you have all the proper USB/ADB drivers installed... Anyways just search "mobiletechvideos" on Google. They have a ridiculous amount of positive feedback.
Good Luck!

I can confirm this. They were great o didn't pay for.rush so it took about 10 days.but I.bricked mine about 2 month's ago

Thanks, I wasn't sure about mobiletechvideos, the search I did here returned posts that seemed to be getting old. The replies are much appreciated.
Mobiletechvideos only wants $30 for JTAG service on a G1, hopefully they will combine shipping. It's $160 for a digitizer replacement on an HD2. There's another shop that will do it for $50 for parts and labor. Any thoughts on that or would that be better asked in the HD2 section?
I went with mobiletechvideos, got the phone in about a week later. Turned on and everything

When my phone was hard bricked a jig would not even make the phone come on. The phone needs to be repaired via JTAG.

Ops for malaysia jtag service is here http://sinartimurservices.tk
I wound up using the guy from eBay, LV Repairs in Henderson, Nevada. It cost me $40 plus shipping it to him. He flashed the stock TMO ROM back on the phone and was back to me within a week.
I have several phones that need to be repaired and I am very satisfied with this guys work so far. If you are interested click the link below or just search for SGS2 JTAG.

Is anyone offering a repair service? Like so many others my Xperia play's touchscreen has become completely unresponsive and it has been in a box for almost 2 years. I really need this phone repaired, there is some VERY VERY important information to me on an un-updated application that can only be opened on this phone and I don't think I can live without it. I have researched online, I don't have the skills to repair it myself. =,[.
This has been causing me so much worry and stress. Is there anyone out there that could repair this for me? I can't post links but is the Xperia Play repair service from portatronics legit? I'll do whatever it takes. Any help on who or where to send it to is very much appreciated. Thank you -Oli
There are tutorial vids on YouTube how to fix it which make it super easy to fix. Does the screen look like TV stativ?

No, I don't think It's something I would have much luck at fixing myself. The unit boots up and appears to be fine. I can move around on the main screen using the D-Pad but the touchscreen is completely unresponsive.
Sounds like you need a new digitizer. Do you live in Canada?

Yes, I am in Canada. The portatronics guys in NY didn't answer my email. I'll try one more time before googling for someone else.

Thanks for the offer. The portatronics repair service seems to be defunct. I found another repair service from doctorquickfix (Sorry, still can't post links). $87.95 for parts and installation. I'm going to send them an email to see if the service is still available and if they can fix the digitizer.
doctorquickfix responded and said they can do it! I'll report back with my experience! :fingers-crossed:
Sorry for the stupid question but can't you use the pad to launch apps and move into them?

Yep you can slelect and start apps with the gamepad. Why didnt you just try it instead of asking tho. 87 bucks thats kinda expensive expensive. A digitizer is like 20 or under dollars. Hope all goes well.

I've watched the tutorial videos on youtube and I don't feel confident that I'd be able to dissemble something like this without causing permanent damage. :crying:
I know $87 is high. I've had other offers but I can't ship to India or UK. Has to be Canada or US only. This is the best deal I could find... unless someone volunteers
As for navigation with the D-Pad, you can navigate... but only what is on the first screen. You need the touch screen to flip pages.

If you will replace the anything inside the Xperia Play, be very careful while trying to open it up. I didn't have a plastic opener at the time, so I just used a screwdrivers, and there are mars everywhere. I even damaged the microphone inside.
Well I have no idea what your trying to open or do. But im sure you could find a browser on the market that would work or whatever app. The opening of the play is actually very easy and you need a metal or plastic safe open pry tool.
Although as for the screw driver incident how could you think you wouldnt damage stuff lol not being rude just asking lol.
The only part that is hard would be if you had to replace the flex cable which rips easily. The digitizer doesnt need you to touch the digitizer however.
But if you do it you NEED a safe open pry tool or a self made safe open pry. I suppose 87 parts included would be an ok price. Plus its always nice to have someone else do it in case you mess up so you dont have to go through the frustration if your not very techy.
