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 =)

You should have googled "htc evo replacement speaker", not "went out", that doesnt make any sense, where did it go out to?

Try googlin something that way. For instance "I hate the droid x" (<<lol) and it will pull up results with threads of people stating that. I was trying to find threads where people's speakers "went out" (messed up) to see if anyone pointed them towards a good reliable place to get a replacement speaker and too see if anyone could confirm the realibility of that place selling the speaker. That is why I googled it that way

I just ordered one for a friend of mine's Evo last week on eBay. It cost me $4 including shipping from a US seller and it arrived at my house in a few days.

The Hero uses the same speaker.... This might make it easier to find. You could always go to your local Sprint store and have it replaced for free. (Since you have TEP right?)

HELP! Is Wifi permantly broken?

My friend has a tmobile galaxy s2 and his mom stabbed the phone right in what I believe is the Wifi reciever. There is corrosion appearing, and there is a terrible smell to it. The wifi radius is severely limited in zone, and wont read every network. There is a picture below, and is there anything I can do to revive the phone wifi receiver?

Physical damage can only be fixed by insurance claim. Will set your friend back 130 bucks. Now, the bigger issue is why would your friends mom stab a phone? Was he protecting himself with the phone from getting stabbed!?

XDA is great at fixing things, hacking and tweaking things.
but if you read all the threads here, you will soon realize 99.999999% of the things people do here are all software related.
You have physical damage done to the phone, there is really no way to figure it out..
Get a new or used phone!

+1 I honestly don't know if it can be fixed. Even so, it will be less trouble just to do a insurance claim, that is if you have it.

If u have the technical knowhow then it's possible to fix it.. You could search YouTube and see what pops up in ways of some kind of tutorial /guide.. But if you are not the kind of person who knows how to do it then it would be way easier just to get it professionally repaired..

Its the fact there is erosion that tells me you can't just replace a piece. How far has the erosion spread? Had it got to the motherboard?

that component is eroding, and the back cover, the plastic one is close to having a hole into it.

Look up t989 teardown. It looks like that is not the WiFi module, but the signal lead. Seems like its part of the mother board I believe. None the less, if it's just a copper lead it should be repairable. Being exposed may be causing some shorting out leading to the damage and bad connection. Repairing may not make it perfect though.

I was trying to find a tear down video, but couldn't find one. What component would I have to change?

Dropped my phone, black screen (replace with D710 screen?)

Well I dropped my phone a few days and now all I have is a black screen. I figure I need a new digitizer and lcd screen but all the parts for the t989 are really expensive. So I was wondering if I could use the digitizer/lcd screen from the Sprint Galaxy S2 D710 since both our phones have the same sized screen, that way I could save myself a lot of money.
Hopefully someone can help me out I'm already tired of using a blackberry!

anyone?

Isn't the amoled display different than the one you want to replace? I mean its just the calibration so I guess it won't matter, and I'm almost positive the connectors are different. I would go for it though, and you might learn something too
Well anyways sucks for your screen :/ and that you can't use your sg2

[Q] xperia play repair service?

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.

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.
