Hey everyone,
I recently bought my HOX at my local AT&T store about a month ago and managed to drop within the first 2 weeks I had it, and break both the glass and LCD. I went on ebay and bought both the LCD and glass together and installed it on my phone with no luck. Screen is totally black with no response. Everthing else works flawlessly, vibrator, capacitive buttons, and speaker. The aftermarket LCD screen's cable was straight so I had to make a fold in it like the original cable was. I worry that that might be what the problem is, though I highly doubt it. I would appreciate it greatly if someone could give me some advice on what I should do at this point. Return the LCD and glass or try something else. Thanks
This is the forum for the quad core Tegra 3 OneX, I don't know if your phone (One XL, dual core snapdragon) has the same LCD.
Might be best to ask in the correct sub forum.

Hello,
My wife recently had the misfortune to drop her newish HTC Desire A8183 on the kitchen floor, thanks to my daughter's over eager grab. The digitizer has some lovely cracks all over it now... :-(
Needless to say, my wife is dismayed, and my daughter (she's only 3 and didn't mean it) is very sorry.
I thought I'd try replacing the digitizer myself, having read many tales of repairs taking 3 weeks and costing 300+ dollars.
Bought a new digitizer, took phone apart (even had a handy little "oven" that I could set to 60 degrees to melt the glue).
Phone taken to pieces quite happily.
Put in new digitizer, reassemble.
Now start up phone, all looks good.
BUT... only a small section of the screen is responding to touch (where the 7,8,9) keys are when entering SIM PIN. The row below has also worked (although intermittently) and the emergency call button too...
So my question:
Is this a problem with the digitizer I bought? Is there a particular model number of digitizers that I should be using? I note that the old digitizer had an "I2" printed on the pcb, whereas the new one has an "E5", the old one has a sticker with SHAB1 on it whereas the new on has SHABN...
I'm not sure that this is important - but given that the thing only partly works, I think it might be.
Anyone got any ideas/hints for me to try... I'll phone the supplier tomorrow and suggest to them that the part is faulty, as I can't see any threads out there where this has happened to someone else.
EDIT: I thought I should add that the old digitizer despite looking like a spider's web, still actually works - which really make me think it is a problem with the new one...
Thanks for any help!

I can't really help you from experience all knowledge.
But I did read somewhere that you have to use specific digitizer for specific Desires.
I could be wrong
Did you work out any solution for your replacement digitizer issue?
I have a similar problem and I just realized the different ghost pattern of the screens (original has diagonal, new has square arrangements of dots) and also the electronics of the digitizer is slightly different (Original: Synaptics 940-663-1R1, replacement: Synaptics 940-682-1R2)
Hello,
I'v got the same problem, i even bought two digitizers from different sellers. I thought that it is because i did something wrong when I disassembly and assembled the phone but I put my old digitizer again and it works ok ( except the corner where it's crashed ).I asked my sellers if there are some different digitizers and they replayed that no and the one I'v got are checked and ok ( the electronics is identical, the only difference are white big number E2 and G2 ). What can I do more to repair my poor thing?

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Let's say, just hypotetically, that someone's Captivate Glide fell down for about 6 meters on stairs... and that the screen got cracked, and the overall amoled panel stopped working, completely black, apart from a line of amoled, near the capacitive buttons, that changes colors when the phone switches on......
Let's say, just in hypotesis, that said Captivate Glide was mine... and let's say for example that I wished to repair it somehow, maybe replacing the screen. Where can I find spare parts, other than ebay?
Let's say this happened, hypotetically, this morning.... I feel so sad......

http://cellphone-repair-shop.com/samsung-sgh-i927-parts/ is good. If you're looking for the front plate that just says Samsung and not AT&T you can find it if you google around.
One could hypothetically buy one from eBay, such as:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/220947983385
Hey guys, Thanks for the help. I'd be even happier for a front plate that says Samsung and not AT&T. Would you be able to help me? I'd be hoping to spend even a bit less if possible.
But thanks to you both!!!

Rogers version doesn't have any external carrier branding. If you were really hardcore about it you could frankenstein a face from a Rogers device with a motherboard from an AT&T device and then change the bootsplash...
Guys, the only thing I need would be to pay the least possible for the screen part replacement. It could even be *pink*, for what I am concerned, as long as it's cheap.
Cheers,
Tony
Hi. I just got a used HTC One X phone, but the digitizer is cracked. I understood that I can't change only the digitizer, so I wanna buy a digitizer+LCD display assebmly. Now I have a problem. Reading on the internet I found that there are 2 different screens, with green and yellow flex cable. Which one is for my phone? I have the international version with Tegra 3.

if you are going to change it youself then best to open your hox and match the serial number
My idea was to open the phone after I have all parts (want to change the housing and display assembly) from ebay. I saw that they ship the parts with tools, because now I don't have any.
Sorry for double post, but I wanted to tell you that I managed to change my LCD display. I bought this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111039746173?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 and I am very glad. I didn't noticed any contrast/color differences. Everything worked as it should, except vibrate, which doesn't work anymore and I don't know why, I triple checked the connectors of the vibrator.
If someone want to change by himself, just go to service I had a very hard time to take the phone apart (I also changed the back case cover).
Oh, the old LCD had panel_vendor and panel_id 944701. Same with the new one.
Hi Guys,
So my S3 bit the dust last week and I have gotten an Nexus 5 as a replacement.
My S3 has three major issues and I am trying to decide what if anything to do with it, or what the possible value of it is.
This is a 32gb model locked to my local carrier (Rogers)
1. The glass has a crack, it fell while out of my Otterbox and the glass got a spider crack on it, the LCD panel and digitizer were still working perfectly fine last time I used it a week ago. The screen protector is on top of the glass.
2. the OS is screwed up, I was having issues with the modem and connecting to my carrier and SIM and flashed a .zip file with a baseband and it caused my phone to instantly hardbrick.
3. I thought a JTAG servicing would revive the device back to stock OS so I brought it into a local shop for the JTAG (and then likely the glass replacement if they could get the S3 unbricked) they told me that the IC power chip in the device is broken. How that happened I have no idea, last thing I did with the phone was flash a .zip file to it via ClockworkMod Recovery, no idea how doing THAT broke an actual chip in the board of the phone.
So now I have a device that is screwed on three levels.
Any idea what I should do with it now. Anyone had experience with a broken IC chip? Is it worth anything on the ebay market for parts?
I see people selling the IC chip online but I am not even going to attempt soldering things to the main board.
nobody?
bueller?
you can get a replacement glass for less than 20 USD
Jtag... anybody's guess
bad chip? possibly damaged when it fell (cracked traces, etc)
I'd try to fix the first 2, but that 3rd one is a nail in the coffin. For what its worth, these things are second rate in less than a year and obsolete in 3.
It might be time to move on.
I would post an ad to see if anybody would like to buy it for spare parts. If you get no responses after a while, I would toss it in the trash.

I need a new daughterboard because this morning my phone stopped charging. Well I can't decide if I should go and pay someone $80 to do it for me or to do it myself. I've never paid for anyone to repair anything for me before I've always done it myself and I have most of the tools I need to do it (aside from a heat gun) . What has me nervous is taking the screen off. Has anyone else done this and how does it look after? Also did you break the glass?
I just remember the fiasco and mess of replacing my fist iPad Air 2 screen and it seems to be similar. I just don't want a half working phone when I'm done (but also at this point I could've bought a pixel 2 XL with what it's costing me)
So thanks if you have any feedback
I've put 3 screens 1 new daughterboard 1 notification led and put the black glass on the white frame.
Just use plenty of heat, and take your time.
Edit: I broke the glass one time, removing the screen from the top first.
I would recommend a bottom corner as your starting point.
Edit, edit: I just saw your other thread. I don't know if I would replace the daughterboard before I was certain the motherboard was in working order.
Check if your repair shop will do a thorough diagnosis before repair of anything.
