Samsung Epix Screen Alignment

I did a hard reset, and am stuck at the screen alignment. I installed Remote Screen Alignment, but it appears not to have a setting for the Epix. Also, when I run it, I get an error trying to configure the remote device.
I am wondering if I need to create a .dat file for the Epix. Does anyone know the Epix calibration settings, or some other work around for beign stuck on this screen?
Thanks!

Sorry you didn't get any response faster.
I had the same problem.
I too asked for the dat and others presets.
Guess what if those didn't work the problem is the touch screen digitizer. No way around it, you have to replace it.
It is cheap on ebay $15-19 shipped. I just finished putting it on.
Caution on taking the phone apart. It's not that easy to do so.

Do you have any tips for taking the phone apart?
My digitizer is crazy and I can't get the screen to allign. I'm ready to replace it, but a little weary about taking the phone apart so far.

There is no resource whatsoever on how to take the phone apart.
I just did it cold turkey. You just can't be afraid.
I took apart an i607 Blackjack before using instructional videos. I think this was a bit easier. Similar and easier.
I did not even refer to those videos again, I just went at it like no ones business. If your scared then you will probably mess up.
You obviously remove the battery tray, battery and sim card
Remove the stylus
Remove the rubber cover nub on the upper left side.
Unscrew all the visible screws. IIRC there are 3 on each side. This is probably one of the tough parts, because each screw looks to have been applied with some loctite material. You really need a proper screw driver. Philips head, but really small. You will see it. If you start stripping the screw, or strip it. START TO GET WORRIED. Because I don't know how you will get it out then. So after you removed all the screws. Do not expect the phone to come off easily.. IT WONT, its like it is still together.
You will need to use some FORCE to pry a small portion of the phone open, and when I say small I mean small because they are clipped together tight.
If you bought the digitizer from EBAY it comes with this

That included screw driver is a torx head which is no use to you. But that yello tool is what you need to use to pry the case apart without scratching the case.
So again once you pry a small portion.. I STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM, insert that yellow tool in the opening and run it along the case and it will start to pry open the case apart.
After that, you shall see the board.. this is where my memory gets vague.
I don't think there was any other screws to be removed to remove the board, but there might have been 1.
Anyways on the left side you will see a small ribbon cable that runs through the front of the phone, that is the cable that attches to the digitizer. Unclip it and remove it. Then carefully pry the board until you see the front screen digitizer.
Now you will need to decide how you are going to remove this because it is glued on. Be careful as you will need to use force. The OEM case though IS VERY STRONG. I was flexing that b!tch and it did not crack or snap. Good quality for sure Samsung.
Once you have it removed, you will need to have new adhesive, or be ghetto and just peel apart the one from the old digitizer and reposition it for the new one.
Put the new one, attach the ribbon cable and put phone back together.
Wish I could've taken pictures while I did it, but no one ever seems to speak up about calibration problems I thought I was the only one, and I was eager to install it.

I finally got around to fixing the digitizer. Removing the screws went suprisingly well. There was another screw on the PC board that I removed. I reused the adhesive, but I had to trim some parts of it to get it flat. Overall it went pretty well.

Thank you thank you! I just replaced my i907's digitizer and thanks to your thread, it was smooth sail.
If you didn't write it here, I would certainly feared removing the digitizer with such a force, I'd fear that I'm gonna break the frame. Fortunately, Samsung made it so soft it bends almost any angle without breaking.
It helped to put the frame on the table with a digitizer down, push onto the transparent area of digitizer with fingers (starting in some corner), and slowly pull the frame upwards, away from digitizer.
I recommend this seller: http://myworld.ebay.com/e2_express/ - it was a cheapest i907 digitizer on eBay, with free international shipping for $11, and he included all tools I needed for repair. My Epix now works perfectly (well, apart from ROM, but that's a completely different story, f**k you very much, AT&T .

Replace sceen May 2010
This is actually easier and scarier than it sounds.
Six screws: four at the corners of the battery compartment, one under the rubber plug upper left, and one under the stylus. (When putting back together-be careful with the stylus screw. The stylus goes inside and so will the screw. Time to take it apart, again.)
I could not re-use the adhesive. When I was taking off the old screen, the adhesive curled up longitudinally, tried to straighten, then it balled up. My wife scrapbooks so I used her photo adhesive strips. Not as strong, probably not long term, but I needed to put the phone back together.
Putting the ribbon connector back takes patience. Be sure the "clamp" is open before you start.
If the volume rocker comes off, dammit, there is a tiny hole that fits over a tiny peg, then slide the other end into the tiny slot.
I'm impressed with the inside of my Epix. Pretty amazing how much, and how they cram it in there.

[REPAIR] HTC Desire Digitiser Replacement WITH PHOTOS

Hi
A few days ago in college i was carrying my mate's Desire (in fact, he, myself and another friend there at the time all have them) and dropped it acidentally from about three or four feet. The digitiser/screen broke, shattered quite badly and i felt awful, so i offered to see how i could help in getting it replaced.
Carphone Warehouse wanted £170, we fixed it for <£30.
We decided it couldn't be too difficult to fix ourselves, and being young and inquisitive and very geeky we set about fixing the screen. The AMOLED hadn't bust, it was just the digitiser and from what we had heard it wasn't too difficult to fix. My friend Jed, not the guy who the original smashed Desire belonged to (that was James) had a bit of experience in the area so we weren't totally gung-ho about it. We knew we had to order parts so we did so from Ebay, and paid something like £1.60 for extra-speedy delivery - and then it was time to crack (s'cuse the pun) on.
We took some photos for our own interest, and i thought here would be a good place to see them so other people as enthusiastic about phones as i am could peruse them at their leisure All of the photos were captured with an HTC Desire.
UNFORTUNATELY, we didn't have the common sense to take a photo of the phone before we fixed it, so no before and after shots i'm afraid
Stuff we needed:
Screwdrivers (A small phillips and a torx 6 i think, it was really small anyway - there may have been more)
Cotton buds/pads
Isopropanol (lots)
Tweezers
All in all, it wasn't a difficult job, just one which required patience and forethought. It took Jed and myself three hours, and for unqualified teenagers i think that's about okay. Any questions, be sure to ask.

Just a picture for size reference, we outlined the phone on my Moleskine (hipster, i know i know) so we could remember where screws went.
A close-up of the rear input (USB & Microphone) panel, with microSD and SIM slot.
Jed, removing the rear input panel type thing.
Rear input panel removed, exposing the lower PCB (which is removable).
Entire rear protection panel removed, exposing the Desire's sexy internals.
Close-up of CMOS sensor and antenna.
Unscrewing the main PCB for removal.
CMOS and antenna as above, different angle though.
CMOS sensor and antenna again from a different angle, while we're trying to remove the volume keys (which was SERIOUSLY f*cking difficult.)
Removing the rear input PCB, this was fiddly but fairly straightforward.
Another shot of the lower PCB coming out.
The furry stuff is the remnants of the glue that stuck the digitiser on, it took forever to get off.
AMOLED and touchscreen input port disconnection, which was super fiddly but easy enough.
The phone's main PCB resting on the box in which the digitiser came, for safe-keeping.
Slowly lifting the AMOLED, which was scary.
Old, cracked digitiser. You can faintly make out the damage, all of the top left side had completely shattered.
External front panel, with digitiser removed. You can make out some black furry stuff, which is the glue that held the original digitiser in place. This was the hardest part of the job as we had to make sure ALL of it came off. Isopropanol and cotton buds were needed, as well as sharp flat metal things to scrape off the glue. A LOT of Isopropanol was used.
New digitiser is laid in place and everything's re-assembled, all that's left to do is stick it in.
Final comparison shot, comparing the phone with a replaced digitiser or touch screen with one that never got hurt. Not too bad, if i do say so myself.

Wow great job!
Definitely a useful guide.

Agreed.
Awesome job!
Would you mind letting me know where you got it from and how much the digitizer cost?

very interested in this as well!
nice job onthe post btw!

Nice post, always interested in how things come apart and more importantly go back together again.

Nice job!!

Nice description! I'm wondering if there is a digitizer out there that supports "real" multitouch capabilities for our Desire? Would this work (also in aspect to software needings)? Anyone knows?

The digitiser was found on eBay after a quick search for 'HTC Desire Digitiser', and we just looked for ones that mentioned they were for the Bravo, which of course was the Desire's codename. The digitiser itself cost about £25, which was pretty much the cheapest we could find - the seller was exquisite, with 100% positive feedback and hundreds of sales, they were solely selling phone parts.
£25 is really, really cheap when some people we spoke to about getting it fixed wanted over £150

What a great guide. Thanks so much!

You had a screen protector before the break?

While the digitizer supports "real" multitouch i really think it's the chip that decodes those touches that is to blame for our lack of "true" multitouch.

I'm looking at doing the same project. What did you use to stick the digitizer back? I've seen some people use super glue and some people use strong double sided tape.

Good job took me 3 hours to fix mine lol getting it back together was the hardest part great step by step tho

Very curious about this too (wifes shattered screen) it's the only part that I'm not confident about - one used double sided tape sliced into 2mm strips (http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-tear-down#Finishing).
What did you use?

Other internal components
Essential Tools:
Safe Pry Opening Tool

Samsung Galaxy Note II Take Apart Repair Guide:​
First, to begin the repair you will need make sure to completely power down your device.
Following powering down the device you can start by taking out the stylus pen and removing the battery cover on back. After the battery cover is removed, take out the battery, memory card, and sim card.
Next use a Small Phillips screwdriver and remove the eleven Small Phillips screws from the device's back housing. In the image below all of the screws are highlighted in red.
Once you have removed all of the screws, take off the device's back housing using a safe open pry tool. Wedge your pry tool into the seam between the chrome bezel and the housing and shim the tool along the sides and edges of the device. This releases the clips in order to remove the housing. Be advised that one of the clips is found just above the battery tray.

}
The motherboard should be exposed following the removal of the back housing.
Then you will need to remove four more Small Phillips screws, shown in the image below highlighted in red.
After all the screws have been taken out you can remove the loud speaker assembly near the base of the device.
Using the pry tool you can now release the antenna and pop connectors which hold the motherboard in place. In the diagram below the connectors and antenna are highlighted in green.
While releasing the connections you will also remove the button flex cable, held to the housing by a small amount of adhesive. The cable is highlighted in orange below and is located on the left side of the device, it should be put to the side for now.
Now that the connections have been released, the motherboard can be completely removed. Cautiously remove the motherboard and be sure not to rip or tear the connections that have been released.
You will notice the main camera located on the motherboard. Using your pry tool release the pop connector which holds the camera to the motherboard. Set the motherboard to the side for now.
After you remove the motherboard, additional parts will need to be removed using the pry tool and a Small Flathead screwdriver.
*Figure 3.1* Take out the headphone jack along with the ear speaker.
*Figure 3.2* Remove the front camera and it's sensors.
*Figure 3.3* Using a Small Flathead screwdriver wedge beneath the vibrate motor in order to remove it. The vibrate motor is held in place with relatively strong adhesive and is most easily taken out with the Small Flathead screwdriver.
*Figure 3.4* Next, use the pry tool and lift the antenna cable up and away from the slot and lift away the flex cable.
*Figure 4.1* Using either a heat gun (on low heat) or a blow dryer (on medium heat), heat the sides and corners of the screen for 35 - 50 seconds about an inch from the touch screen to loosen the adhesive holding the front housing to the screen assembly. Do this carefully as to not overheat the screen which could create permanent damage to your device. While heating the device you may encounter stubborn areas that will need to be re-heated so that all of the adhesive is loosened.
*Figure 4.2* Next wedge between the seam along the touch screen and front housing using the pry tool. You will most likely find it best to begin with the seam located on the side of the device, and then work toward the bottom of the device while making sure to avoid any damage to the lower flex cable.
*Figure 4.3* Keep prying along the seams of the touch screen in order to release it from the housing and loosen the adhesive holding it in place. The top of the device is more easily loosened using a spudger tool to ensure no damage is caused to the flex cables. While still using the spudger tool, pry above the LCD screen in order to capably feed the cable through the housing slot.
*Figure 4.4* Remove the remaining adhesive that covers up the flex cable.
*Figure 4.5* Near the bottom of the device, using the spudger tool, remove the home button flex cable.
*Figure 4.6* Lastly, take out the home button by simply pushing it out of its housing.
Finally, put in the new parts and throw out the damaged parts that need to be replaced, and reverse the above steps in order to reassemble your device.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Repair Guide:​
When starting this repair make sure that your device is completely powered off.
Now start by removing the back battery cover. Note, to remove the cover it’s easiest to remove it by lifting the tab near the power button. Once this is done, take out the battery and the sim card, and memory card (the cards are found directly beneath the battery).
(Figure 1) Now with a Small Phillips Screwdriver, remove the ten (10) Small Phillips screws that are located on the back housing (circled in red).

(Figure 2.1 - 2.2) Now with the screws removed you can remove the back housing. Using either a Safe Open Pry Tool or even your fingernail, wedge between the seam of the housing and the screen assembly and slide it along all the sides releasing the clips that hold the housing in place. (including top and bottom)
With the back housing removed, you will have to release all the motherboard connections in order to remove the motherboard from the housing.
(Figure 2.3) At the top left corner you will remove a small metal cover with some tweezers, which covers the camera and proximity sensor.
(Figure 2.4) Now there are (6) pop up flex cable connectors on the motherboard that need to be released and disconnected using the pry tool (all highlighted in green). Pop them up from under the connections and lift up to release them.
(Figure 3.1) Now you can swing over the motherboard to the right (Be careful! There is still a cable connected from underneath the motherboard), Now lift up the left side and slowly flip the motherboard to the right taking notice where its connected still to the motherboard. Note, during this step the ear speaker flex cable (top right) might fallout (this is normal), place it to the side for your reassembly later.
(Figure 3.2) With the motherboard exposed, you will now release the screen by releasing the flex cable. This will release the motherboard fully.
(Figure 3.3) Now that the motherboard has been removed, you’re able to access and remove the main camera which is held in by its own jaw connector. Using the pry tool lift the black tab to the left of the camera, and lift and release the camera.
(Figure 3.4) The Headphone Jack located near the top right may now be taken out.
(Figure 4.1) The next component to remove is the Vibrate Motor; this is located near the top left (highlighted in purple). This part will take a little more prying because it is held down with surprisingly strong adhesive. It is important to use caution as the flex cable is very fragile.
(Figure 4.2) Using the pry tool remove the Dock Port flex cable, this is done by releasing the microphone (highlighted in orange) and pry beneath the cable in order to loosen and remove it.
(Figure 4.3) Lastly, you will remove the sim card and micro SD card flex cable. To release the cable lift up on the tab, and then pull out the flex cable holding it in.
(Figure 4.4) Now you can lift out the flex cable using your pry tool, use caution as the flex cable is easily torn.
You have now completed the disassembly of your device.

Howto continue disassembly of Samsung Galaxy S4 mini to replace Touch Screen Assembly
Dear Repairs Universe Team,
thank you for this excellent guide and the detailed photos provided!
I have, however, a question about continuing the assembly of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini on order to perform the complete glass/screen and digitizer replacement.
After purchasing the "Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LCD & Touch Screen Assembly - Black Mist" from your online shop and watching the corresponding disassembly video guide posted on the same site, it seems to me that the process is not completed yet.
Judging from similar videos about the 'not mini' Samsung Galaxy S4, it seems to be necessary to use a heat gun to soften the glue of the old glass/screen and digitzier in order to remove it from the plastic frame of the phone.
Is this correct?
Would it be possible for you to add this part of the disassembly process in order to help with caveats such as heat limitations of the components and menu/home/back button disassemby?
Thanks again for your help!

Thank you for your clear guidance！
