[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]Shattered Screen!

Today was a sad day. I dropped my GNex when taking it out my pocket to get in my vehicle. It dropped faced down from waist height and landed on some rocks/concrete. It took a chip out the glass and shattered in a few places.
Everything still works which is pretty good I guess no problem with the touch screen
I was crushed when I picket it up and fist saw it. I have a silicon case on it and no screen protector.
I hate cases and screen protectors but if I can get this fixed I will probably use both.
My questions is what's my best options here. My brother got me the phone from UK I use it on TMobileUSA. Basically I have no warranty here and wondered if there is someone in the USA that replaces screens or can send me one to do if not majorly complicated.
My brother said Carphone Warehouse will fix it ~£100 but they send it out. Seeing I use my phone alot for work was hoping to be without for minimal amount of time.
Any ideas? thanks

Send it to Samsung. I've read they will replace screens for $160 or so with a two week turn around.

Yup, you will need phone tools too.. Also found online: Amazon, ebay, etc..
Then just search for a "tear down" and follow the instructions.

I had my Galaxy S2 display broken. Took it to a repair center and saw how easily they put in a completely new front! I don't know if it is just as easy with a Nexus, (and offcourse here only replacing the screen applies as the back is made of one piece of plastic) but it might be worth to look?
You can find a display on ebay by searching for: galaxy nexus front display
I know it is expensive, but shopping a bit around the internet might help?
Advantage of doing it yourself is obviously that you don't have to send your phone away and being phoneless

I ended up sending the phone to my brother back in England. Carphone Warehouse fixed it for ~£79.
But I was too impatient and just ordered a new phone before I sent it off. I now have a screen protector and case
Sucks to break the screen as it can break so easily and there is no easy way to get it fixed in the US with the GSM version bought overseas.

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..

[Q] Second opinion on touch screen problem?

Sadly do not seem to be having a lot of luck recently with my HTC Desire Z.
After looking over topics on this subject and trying most of then including using HtcCalibrate.apk.
Found a screen touch test app and got this result:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I hope you can see this image.
There are 2 lines 1 towards top of screen and 1 in the middle, where I can not make any contact.
I assume that this means replacement of digitizer/touch screen part?
Just would like second opinion or any more options before I try repair or pay for repair.

I have the same problem in my desire z,the non working area of the screen being the left of the screen and the home key.Also sometime the touch will just stop registering touchs alltogether,or register false touches.If someone knows,before trying to repair it,is it the digitizer,or the ribon that conects the two halfs of the phone?

Almost 100% its the digitizer

I have the same problem in a different area. How much trouble is this to replace? Can I do it myself, or is it technical? How much does the part cost, and where to buy it from?

Sorted
Well when I looked into replacing touch screen part, there is a you tube video you can watch to see how it's done.
Yes it is complex in my eyes but have a look here's link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9S7k1OJalM
Cost me £45.00 to get it done locally.
You can get part easy off Ebay if you want to do it yourself.

What's the part called? How to search for it?

Parts
Assuming you have the same fault as my HTC you need replacement digitizer.
Just type "htc desire z replace digitizer" into Ebay.

Is the repair easy for an amateur like me? Or is it delicate and I'd better get a repairman?

I find them very simple to replace but i have done around 10 for the vision and dozens on other phones. I dont think you need to be well versed in electronics repair for a job like this, its mostly screws and common sense.
Id say as long as you have a little patients and are willing to watch youtube videos and do a little research even an amateur should have little worries. There is no soldering or anything else that may be considered technical required.
only thing that may be a little tricky for a novice is separating the digitizer from the bezel, but its still fairly easy. for a little more you can buy it together if your worried, seen it this way on ebay at least.
good luck!

[Q] cracked glass

I cracked the glass on my s3 right above my home button. On the motherboard or digitizer, it says gt i9300. I thought this was only for international models. I bought my phone new at sprint. Do they share some hardware?
Also i was wondering what is a good replacement glass

Maybe they gave you a refurbished one that had the front housing off a international.

That sign i9300 next to home button does not mean anything. Thats just a menu/back flex cable and it is the same on all galaxy's s3 (i9300, i9305, t999, i747, r530, i535, L710)
If you have your phone from sprint, yours should be L710. There is few ways of getting this done. Do it yourself using ebay kits or bring to specialist.
If you want to do it yourself there is 3 ways
1. Buy full assembly LCD screen with frame. Original part will cost you around $190~222 (make sure its L710 model)
2. Buy lcd+digitizer (without frame) will go for about 180 for the part. Installation on this much harder than previous option
3. Buy just a rellacement glass. Will cost you $10-30, few hours watching youtube videos, another couple hours doing the job, and hopefully you dont mess up the lcd and it still works ^_^
4. Bring it to local repair shop. Will cost somewhere between 100-275 depending on area/parts used/quality. Just look on google for something like "galaxy s3 repair yourcityhere"
