I have a problem with the screen on my Xperia Arc.
The glue that holds the screen attatched to the housing seem to have loosen up
Anyone who have had this problem before, or know of a safe way to fix it?
I'm pretty used to take things apart and have done it several times with the Arc.
Thanks in advance
What the.. can you post any pics of this? o.o

Hello, I am having serious issues with the touchscreen of my BA.
The screen part is kind os loose, it moves slightly sideways.
I have no idea if the two things are connected, the touchscreen also does not work properly, as it randomly does not detect taps.
I have noticed that if I press for a bit the sides of the screen down onto the back of the BA, it works better for a while.
Do you guys have any clue on what the issue could be and how to solve it?
I myself have the idea that some tap detecting thing behind the screen has detached from the screen itself, and that I have to open it to fix it. Am I wrong?
Up.
Anybody who can give some advise before I take it to assistence?
unfortunatly
i have the same issue...and everybody is telling me i need new screen ..if u get a solution... i'd be grateful if u tell me.thnx alot
Hi, I have disassembled it, trying to understand something, but really nothing happened, I can't pretend much since i am not an expert. i have no clue, that is why i am about to take it to the shop and get it fixed. damn it.
hi..
saw this in another site..hope it helps..
"Are you using a screen protector that has got under the case or could there be a bit of detritus between the screen and the case? These cause pressure on the digitizer making it unable to register taps.
Take off the screen protector and see if any improvement. Fold a piece from a sheet of copier paper at the corner to make a scoop and go around the edge of your digitizer just under the case."
regards.. :idea:

not my case, but thank you for your help!
Hi guys
I hope everyone is well
A week or 2 ago i noticed a pink line down the right hand side of my screen
ALso the bottom of the screen was slightly pink although i could see the text.
Gradually over the last couple of weeks the pink at the bottom of the screen has nearly filled the whole screen. The bottom of the screen is now turning from pink to grey.
Obviously i believe this to be a screen/LED problem
I have looked on ebay and found screens with digitizers but I am not sure if this will do the job or it needs another part with it
can someone please point me in the right direction...preferably with links
thanks in advance

Hi mate, I recently changed the screen and digitizer on my phone. If it's just the screen thats broken then you only need a screen, however you need to be VERY careful when taking out the screen from the digitizer, as if you break the connector to the digitizer then you will need to buy a new one too! Search youtube for "bravo disassembly procedure" or something along those lines, it's the official htc video.
It's actually pretty straightforward to do, and you don't need to treat it as gently as nitro glycerine either, as long as you don't use too much excess force.
Thanks
Hi mate
thanks for the reply
I have seen those videos around and got one in my favourites already
By the sound of my problem do you think i will just need a screen and digitizer or will i need more

Hi guys
Anyone managed to have a look at this?
anyone
sorry to post again
anyone able to comment on this? please
Hey sorry mate.. Hmm if it wasn't the screen then it must be something else... I don't want to tell you what it is for you to aimlessly keep buying stuff, because it's just not worth it. If it wasn't the screen then it could be so many other things.
hello i bought a new full housing for my girlfriend's arc s
but i can't find an instruction video for this
can someone help me with this?
tnx
maybe this will help if it's not too late

It's easy to change it, but it has some tricks.
I changed last week on my gf's arc s too.
The trick is on the display+touch,you need to heat it up before trying to remove it. if you don't heat it up(either using a hair dryer or a professional heat gun),you may break it.

It's only for display, but,like i said, it's the hardest and trickiest part. the rest of the housing it's easy,just take everything it can be ripped off from the old and put on the new one .
Camera not working after replacing the housing
I changed the housing by myself...everything works fyn except the camera... can anybody help me ??
when i open the camera app, app opens but everything looks black and then error appears 'processcom.sonyericsson,android,camera has stopped unexpectedly'
I think you have a flaw contact. that long flex for the camera button, was glued on one side. did you applied it correctly?
If yes, flashing a new rom will help you.
My play sometimes thinks its being touched when its not
so if I left the screen on it would start opening apps by itself
goes through my contacts and starts sending people gibberish lol
wondering if anyone els has had this problem?
and if its defiantly the digitizer or possibly the flex ribbon?
I intend to replace both at the same time
has anybody els replaced a digitizer?
where did you get it from?
would you recommend it?
how dose it hold up against scratches?
I attempted to clean my old x10 mini pros screen but when I closed it back up...
The screen lit up and stayed blank.... Do I face the same danger with the play?
Thanks in advance
Yup replaced mine after having the same symptoms. I got a kit from eBay with the digitizer, screen, and removal tool.
The process isn't complicated, but it's a pain in the ass to get the hinge working properly again.. took me a lot longer than it should have.
Hi Throbbin Wood,
Your thread has been moved from Xperia Play General to Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. PLease post in the correct sub-forum in future.
--wedgess
same here
Hello, I had same problem and I solved it easily, but I recomend you buying digitizer with a front cover, because unsticking old digitizer and then sticking new one may cause next problems, because if you did not do it right, rubbish can get under your digitizer and you have to disassemble your X-play again to clean it.
So buy a digitizer+front cover on ebay and good luck with repairing...
Hey, so as the title suggests I dropped my phone which caused a crack at the lower right corner.
Now I remember when the phone only came out everyone were saying its not possible to only change the screen and that you need to change the screen plus the amoled screen and digitizer.
Now I after searching the forums I saw this thread-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946828
It looks very promising but its also quite old.
I was wondering if anyone had any recent experience with replacing just the glass screen of the GSM Galaxy Nexus.
Also his link for the New Adhesive is dead, can anyone provide me with a link to a new adhesive? or it doesn't really matter which one I buy off ebay.
Thanks a lot! I really like this phone and hopefully I wont have to replace tons of stuff to get the screen fixed.

Same thing happened to me last week. I think it is quite possible to change just the glass, but i haven't tried it yet.
Glass removal
It is possible to change just the glass :fingers-crossed:. We just did that using a string. There is a video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7BmmDCKBgQ :good:
