Hi, I have a TP2 with a broken digitizer. Dropped it a couple days ago and it's spiderweb cracked across the whole screen. The LCD work just fine, as I can still see everything clearly(except for the tiny cracks) but I can't use the touch screen, which maybe one of the most annoying things I have ever delt with. I wanted to know if anyone on this forum has any kind of digitizer replacement guide for TP2, and even better a video on it. Also, if anyone was interested in repair work for payment via paypal, I would be interested in talking to you. I could provide you with the phone(of course) and the replacement digitizer, along with the S&H on the phone for both ways. I havent found much on the subject anywhere else, and I have always found this site very useful dating back to my first HTC Wizard. I appreciate any help you have to give.
Thanks in advance
Namashkaar McJew,
Any luck ? I thought it would be easier for you to get it fixed at USA.
It is quite difficult to get digitizers in India for TP2 . Only if I can get hold of a digitizer I could have fixed it for you for no extra cost.
Wish you luck.
Regards
Ho guys I recently got this phone and was working fine till today. Its not new but used. The Phone actually was working until I flashed a ROM and since then the left side of the keyboard does not work. I rebooted and went to stock sprint evo rom and still cant even start phonen with email cause the whole left side of screen letters dont work and the home button aint working like it did either. I was trying a 3.5 rom and even restored to multiple roms saved prior to all this but no luck. i think the roms was called Energy Runnymede and FEAR ME. any suggestions how to get this back. Tried multiple keyboards cant even calibrate it aint reading that side. Bummed out any suggestions guys thanks..
Sounds like a hardware problem to me

so depressed now
If the entire left side of the screen is not working then it's definitely a hardware issue. Good news is that you can fix it yourself for a fairly low price. I've never done it so I don't know much about it, but I've seen plenty of threads about replacing the screen/digitizer. Do some searching around, it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Im going to have to agree with him it sounds like a hardware problem. And as far as fixing it yourself it is fairly easy. My suggestion though is open the phone first because HTC had this brilliant idea to make a phone that used two different flex cables. So with that being said open it and see if your phone has the small one or the big one, you dont want to order the screen and then try and fix it and the cable be the wrong size. (if you choose this path your looking for the Evo LCD and Digitizer Assembly or Evo TSP/LCD Assembly, both the same part just named differently based on where you get it from just CHECK THE FLEX CABLE size and save yourself some trouble) Or the much simplier and cheaper fix take it to s Sprint Repair center and let them look at it. As long as its not physically damaged or liquid damaged you'll be fine and they will look at it and either repair it or replace it as long as you have TEP if not should just be a $35 fee again as long as its not physical or liquid damage.
Hey everyone,
I'm a relatively new Wildfire S owner (wanted to test out T-Mobile's new walmart plan). The touchscreen doesn't work for the most part, but every once in a while it becomes responsive for about 3 seconds. It only wants to work after I've swiped continuously on the screen in random directions for a few seconds and then it becomes responsive. Sometimes it works if I apply pressure to the edges of the screen as well.
The phone came with a stock T-Mobile ROM, and I immediately updated it to the newest Gingerbread stock. Still had issues.
I then installed CM7.2, and the issue is still there.
I then tried the screen freezing fix provided by mstfkaratas. Issue is still there.
The only thing left I can think of is the digitizer is bad. Is this a good assumption, or is there something else I can try?
Thanks in advance.
I had simmular issues when i got my mobile phone(freezing after unlock for 4 sec's on right side of the device).
After i changed rom's and did fix by mstfkaratas i dont have them anymore so i think you need to replace your digitizer and there os nothing more you can do as far as i know
If that is the only solution, can you recommend a safe place to buy one? (i.e. no fake parts or scammers). There are tons of eBay sellers, but I don't know what to look for to see if the part's any good.
*edit* I only paid about $50 for this phone, so i was expecting something like this would be necessary. Adding the cost of a digitizer is still cheaper than what the phone usually goes for used.
I just replaced the digitizer... and it still doesn't work. Double-checked the connections at least three times
I think we're on the same boat. One way I could manage to fix it is by locking then unlocking the phone, then the screen will be responsive.
try this tutorial, it should work for you

Hi everybody! I have been reading here that some people had this issue, but I don't see how they solved it. I've had this issue since the beginning.
Basically, screen sensitivity is very bad when the device is unplugged, only when it's plugged in or holding it with both hands it responds correctly.
This is a problem for me, because for studying, i put the a100 on its stand case, and only need one finger to slide a word or ppt. With this grounding issue, i have to touch the a100 with both hands to make it react properly, it's very annoying and uncomfortable.
Should I take it to the technical support? it's a hardware problem? I tried the build.prop from crossix and still the same. And tried the recalibrate.apk without any success. I don't know what else I can do.
I'm still in guarantee, i'm thinking seriously to take it to SAT. But i have unlocked bootloader, how can i revert it? How should i prepare the device to keep manteining the guarantee?
people who sent the a100 to SAT with this problem, it was solved?
thanks, I really need a fix for this
I have installed the official ICS rom and now it seems locked again, and I'm not root anymore. I think it's prepared for SAT, so I've called acer technical support, they will take the tablet for repair on tuesday 15.
I will post the results when they send it back to me, if someone is interested.
Did you try it after the update to ICS? the OTA ICS updates did wonders for the sensitivity of most of our tabs.
Yes, this is happening since the beginning when I bought the tablet with honeycomb, and still happens in ICS. Let's see if the technical support can fix it! because I really love this a100 thanks!
it makes any difference to upgrade by OTA or by flashing the rom that's here? I have flashed ICS, not by OTA
Is your build .14? That's the one that seems to fix the touchscreen problems.
I have had the touchscreen issues since day one also. Same issues, works fine without a case in two hands, one handed or laying it on a table/couch the screen is jumpy, random touches, and glitchy multi-touch. I've run 3.2 gen2, ICS .014, and ICS .017. I've even popped it apart looking for something simple (and to take a look at the wifi antenna), but nothing obvious found. I would have to guess it is a manufacturing defect.

Yes it's that build (downloaded from the russian link)
This happens also in the a100 of my uncle. He has not yet the build .14, but I'm starting to think this build won't work to fix that.
I thought this build would fix the problem, but...
I want to believe it's a problem with some tabs and I had bad luck, and that technical support will fix it.
I've made this video showing the problem.

Definitely a problem with your tablet, mine is perfect.
I have similar problem but not bad us yours .. but iam out of luck because i buy it from ebay with no gurantee

Well about all I can do is wish you good luck buddy
I just got a refurb off of ebay and it has a 90 day warranty thru Acer, and the fella I purchased it from.
I am not having any issues with the screen even using the stylus they sent with it.
I tried the stylus to see what the hype was with a stylus and found it to be just that hype.
Do you have any type of screen protector on your tab?
Sometimes certain ones can cause issues.
If your device is under warranty I would let them fix it.
yes I have a screen protector, but the issue is there even without it.
I will tell you when i recover my tab and see if it's fixed xD
yea its the device itself i had problems with mine.. it had become completely unresponsive after i rooted it and installed ics i sent it back to the factory took almost a month and got a new one i suggest u do the same
How do I get a new one? today I have received mine and the problem doesn't seem fixed I wonder what they did to think it was resolved

To be honest I didn't think the problem would be resolved. Contact them again and tell them the problem is not resolved; I'm sorry to say this seems like a design issue.
On the other hand, maybe you are being overly critical? My tab works well, but if I want to make the touchscreen seem less than perfect, then I would have no problems doing so. However, in practice this is a non-issue, and I have not had a problem with either my previous tab (which I sent back because it stopped charging) or my current tab (which I've had for 5 days). Of course, this is after upgrading them to official ICS releases.
I don't think I'm being critical, the fact that I can't slide a document properly without having to hold the tab with both hands is very very annoying for me, since I want it to study and the idea was to keep the tab in a stand in the table and touch it only for sliding for example. I stopped using it for this purpose due to that.
Moreover, my mother has another cheaper tablet and tactil control works so much better... In the same situations that my tab. I envy her for that, cause my tab is over 200€ more expensive and it's suposed to be better xD
I have an exam today, i will try to find time to call acer to tell them the problem is not solved.
Hi guys. I wanna ask you one thing.
Even though this is a wonderful device (imho only z3c is better, the others aren't up to this one) I noticed a bothering problem and that is sometimes, when I use my smartphone for a long-time-session, the touchscreen starts turning crazy, making fake inputs, even if I don't touch it. Problem solves just locking and then unlocking the device.
I realize that it's not a big problem, ok, but when it becomes frequent and unceasing, well, it's very annoying.
Now, I wanna ask you: is it just a problem releated to my phone or it's some bug software-releated?
I'm still on 4.4.4 (I don't wanna change... it's sooo smooth :angel and I'm rooted with bootloader locked (but I'm sure it's not a problem linked to this last condition in that it happened also when I was on stock entirely).
I hope you can give me some explanation. :fingers-crossed:
Thank you in advance
I just realized that it's the wrong section where post this kind of thread. Since I guess I cannot delete my post, moderators may you move it to "Troubleshooting" section please?
I'm so sorry for the mistake but I'm new on XDA.
Thank you very much
have you got a flap pocket ? ( with felt fabrics) on my Z1C, the problem is caused by the housse protector (muvit mark) ... whether yes, change should solve your problem hull
I have also been experiencing such weird behaviour. The problem was frequent on 4.4.4 but on 5.1 I haven't noticed that problem yet. Anyway I guess it may be gone because I've changed the screen protector.
i have the same problem when the phone becomes a little hot
