I have the "much loved" yellow spots which is a well known issue. I can't return my device to htc because I changed the battery for the HOX+ by myself. So I guess there no more warranty for that device
Now heres my question: the spots got a bit weaker but the won't disappear since a few weeks now. Should I just change the LCD or should I cange the LCD and the digitizer?

You only need to replace LCD. separating digitizer is very difficult and may get damaged in the process. best option is to go for lcd + digitizer as single unit.

I did some kind of mobile phone doctor when I was 16 and repaired Sony Ericsson's software and also hardware. SO I have some tools left and lots of experience. Do you think I might get this thing done and only change the LCD?

Hello,
i have broken the amoled on my phone, its just the amoled. the touch and gorilla glass are just fine, i can answer call or make call sometime ( without seeing ).
i searched ebay and found digitalizer but amoled.
please tell me what i need and where can i get them. i like to have genuine Samsung's products.
looking forward to your immediate response.
Thanks
To my knowledge the digitizer and LCD are fused together meaning you have to replace both

Thank you so much

i wish i could, the phone did't come with warranty
pretty sure the digitizer and lcd are a one piece, u might just have to get the lcd or else if ur confident open it up and have a look see if u can see any obvious problems
Is that meaning that NO warranty for the LCD??? curious about it
If you want to replace it yourself then you're going to need to buy a whole new screen unit. Even then it will be risky and fiddly replacing it. Unless you're an electrician you don't stand a chance replacing individual units. Replacing a digitizer on its own requires soldering anyway, a sure fire way to kill your phone if you don't know exactly what you are doing.
Just wondering if anyone has intructions or has had any experience in replacing the digitizer/screen on the One X?
Ordered a replacement from ebay just wondering if anyone had any help
Cheers

I too have been looking at replacing the screen on my 1st One X but I haven't seen any instructions on on how replace them.
Did any of you find instructions or tried it yourself?
My replacement screen just arrived but can't find instructions anywhere.

Still no instructions or even videos.
i sent mine off to HTC for a repair.. couldn't find any instructions online and didn't want to void the warranty already
in my bill they also replaced the battery free of charge, i can only assume this for some reason breaks the existing one.
i also read the lcd is attached to the glass (like the iphone 4), so unless you ordered a complete lcd and glass replacement i don't think it'll work...

£145!! although if it is the case that the screen and lcd need to be attached in one part, that part costs £140 on ebay so its not that bad.

Not easy, they use something akin to superglue to bond the LCD and digitizer for better viewing angles.

Do not buy digitizer without LCD
I bought a digitizer only because my screen glass had been cracked only. Apart from aesthetics the phone was working perfectly. I found a youtube video about "screen replacement". Shame on fellow american friend not explaining everything, leaving out the most important details.
The followings are based on my experience:
1. The sticker is very strong, if you heat it up, it is better.
2. The LCD and the digitizer is glued together so much that it is IMPOSSIBLE to separate them without cracking the LCD. So now I need to order a complete LCD-digitizer set as well...
3. While you have taken it apart, you can sort out the wifi antenna connections as well.
After getting frustrated i made a bad decision and decided to punch my phone.
now i need to fix my phone.
it appears i have broken the digitizer. on tearing the phone down it seems the screen and digitzer are the same unit.
can anybody else confirm or deny this. it is a htc desire hd.
it has definately been fixed at some point in its life because theres alot of dust between the digitizer and screen.
any help will be greatfully recieved
i had another look.... they are seperate.......
You punched your phone? Haha

Hi, i've changed my screen 2 months ago, and i can tell you that is better that you buy the screen with the digitalizer and the frame. All the kit, then search some video on youtube about disassembly and in 1 hour you will have your phone running again, it's easier than seems, you'll sure for that.

You can try to change just the digitalizer, but is riskie, so i you broke the screen, then you can order the entire kit, so, don't worry!

Yep ok so yes the best way is to replace both digitizer and lcd at the same time, after applying a small amount of pressure to stick the 2 together i put a small crack into the lcd (ggggrrrrrr) ( literally the smallest amount of pressure) so that was really good advice there.
I will be purchasing a new lcd as i do enjoy this phone..
many thanks for the offer of buying it. yes the micro usb works fine, if it appears that i am unable to fix it i will be more than happy to sell it......
Bottom Line Replace both Digitizer and lcd and even housing if poss at the same time....
thanks for your advice and suggestions.
Joined the club this morning unfortunately. My touch screen still works, so like many, I just have to replace the front part.
I've read this thread almost in its entirety, but nobody mentions having any success. Has anybody tried replacing the screen themselves? Does anybody know if you can use a blowdryer instead of a heat gun?
Also, where are most people buying replacements? I see the one from China, but I'm a little wary of those so considering this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617614
I've replaced laptop and mobile screens in the past (back in the HTC 8525 days), but not sure if this is out of skill-set. Would really appreciate some input.

I recommend you should not try to do this yourself but instead send it to a prof.service. you could find them on Ebay. You should only do it yourself if you replace the whole screen assembly.

How hard is it? I bought the screen for 40 on eBay (US) and am close to buying the materials (heat gun, replacement kits, pry, etc.) I've seen some tutorials on YouTube and just seems to take some patience and perseverance?

Someone did replaced the digitizer and the screen didnt worked. So good luck.
I also did cracked mine screen, but I took it to service repair and costed me 285US.
Only positive, is the new replacement screen doesnt have backlight bleeding like mine old one had and was very annoying as hell.
This is first ever big LCD screen that doesnt have any backlight bleeding of all i owned.

If you don't know I tell you, the screen is glued to the digitizer with UV glue and you need a special glue machine to do that. Any other methods like tape, glue strings, glue kits ...what ever, will not work the same way, air and dirt will get in between and you will see mark and bubble all over the screen in the long run, plus the touch/Spen may not even work right any more...So good luck. It's may cost you more but, if you went through all the headache and at the end you still have to buy an assembly...mute point and even cost you more...

They dont change the digitizer only and whole LCD+digitizer frame. None of repair service would change just the digitizer, too much work and very difficult to do it.
Repair cost only 50US and lcd+digitizer frame cost 235US. Looking around the web, its cost around 210SUS LCD + digitizer frame.
After I read that someone failed to replace only the digitizer, since they are glued together and decided take it to repair service instead.
Display does not turn on , but everything else works . I can hear the tablet unlocking when I swipe up but the devices LCD won't turn on , could I have possibly put to much pressure on it that it could break?

Yes, the old LCD is damaged. The next best thing is to just buy another lcd and replace your current one.

Basically it is the same issue. It seems that the lcd panel was damaged a bit. Perhaps the relief of pressure may be why your screen is still viewable. As far as the device, I highly doubt you will be able to send your tablet to get fixed if you didn't purchase insurance on that product. That being said, you may want to check out a repair shop if you don't feel comfortable taking your device apart and replacing the LCD.
