Hi,
on my Note 2 the glass was broken. I replaced the glass only (not the whole display unit) and all works OK, but if i play graphic intensive games after some minutes the display does not respond anymore. If i switch it off and wait a minute, it works again, but after some seconds the touch panel is not responsible again...
It seams to be a overheating problem, but why? What the f**** difference between whole display unit and glass only?? Is there a solution for that problem (without new display unit)?
TIA
T.

My Desire Z had a fall, and has developed two problems
1 - The hardware keypad has started to take hard-press and sometimes prints double characters on single press. I think the alignment is out or something... any other guess ?
2 - The touch screen sometimes stops working from an inch up from the bottom and continues to half an inch. Before and after that patch, the touch always works fine . Mostly, the whole touch screen works fine. But when the patch gets non-responsive, I have observed that by turning the screen off and on a couple of times makes it work again. I am not very sure what the problem is. Any clues ?
Thanks
I'm also experiencing a similar issue - for me it's usually an area that corresponds to the top row of the
on-screen keypad (for unlocking) or the top of the area for unlock patterns (portrait orientation).
Mine is a 2 year old DZ w. Cyanogenmod 7.1
No HW key problems & no droppage.
Liberal application of isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth - especially around the edges of the screen
seem to help a little bit but not often enough to be better than random.
Switching the screen off and on occasionally helps but most often I get annoyed and use the HW keys to
unlock.
I have noticed that, after powering on the device, the SIM-lock keypad works just fine but the (different)
screen-unlock keypad fails. This leads me to believe it to be a software issue.

I have had this experience on my G2

Thread moved to Q & A section.
So i am going for Digitizer replacement will post the result when the phone is back.
And what about the Keypad taking hardpresses ? what can be the issue there ?
so my desire z is in the shop for repairs. lets see what problem is diagnosed.
I have read in another thread in this forum that the hardware keyboard (need to press hard on some buttons) issue can happen when the phone falls.
Apparently, the flat cable that connects the keyboard to the rest of the phone gets loose and causes such trouble.
Since your phone is in for repair, I'm sure this will get sorted when U get it back.
ok so my phone got back from repairs, the guy couldnt fix the touch-screen rather made it worse. Now the touchscreen doesnt work at all. So i cant unlock the phone and cannot test the Keyboard problem. The guy said the touch problem is related to the ribbon cable and not the touchscreen itself.
Note 1: He says he tried replacing the touch panel altogether but it didnt work.
Note 2: I still think the ribbon is fine (call it intuition)
Note 3: I am giving my phone for repairs again, but this time to HTC service center which would probably cost me a lot more than third-party repairs but at least it will get fixed.
I will update when I my phone back from HTC service center.
Could you not unlock the phone by opening the keyboard ?
It does smell to be an issue with flat (ribbon) cable to me as well. As if there was some loose contact before (caused by you dropping it), and after the repair guy took the phone apart, he probably made even bigger mess by ruining the flat cable completely.
From my experience (and I've claimed warranty 3x for the broken digitizer (touch panel)), if it's broken, an area of the screen (or the whole screen) will be permanently dead. It would not come back to life every now and then.
btw, mine always started being unresponsive in the very middle of the screen, a bar of height around 1 cm (somewhat less than 1/2 inch). Each time they replaced the digitizer.
If it;s the flat cable, you shouldn't end up being charged too much - those thingies are very cheap (in China) and the labour will probably be the majority of the price. Fingers crossed.
So I got my phone back again... The HTC repair center was not located in my city so I went to another (better known) repair shop. The guy said, "your phone hasnt been opened at all from the touchscreen side, any *repair guy* who claims he has opened it and tried this and that but couldnt fix is simply lying. This said, he opened up my desire z replaced its Touch Panel and voilah! my desire z is sensing again in 15 mins
What's the status for the keypad and need to press it hard to work ?
nope... I had it cleaned using alcohol / thinner. now it works fine.
So, I updated to CM 7.2 last night but the touchscreen problems are still there.
Updated using CWM and deleted data & cache whilst doing so.
I really hate the prospect of getting a new phone as the current models available
in DK are all without physical keyboards
Hi,
I bought a screen assembly from here http://www.etradesupply.com/htc-8s-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-with-front-housing-blue.html
After building it in, which was not that easy, due to the massive amount of adhesive the phone booted
nicely and the display itself works flawlessly.
But something is wrong with the digitizer, it sometimes rotates swipes by 90° or stops mid-swipe.
Touch itself works 90% of the time, just sometimes it's off bei about half an inch in different directions.
Any ideas how to fix this, or is it a problem with the digitizer itself?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I dropped my note 2 and the display is blank after that. The motherboard is fine. The phone is booting up and the phone rings when someone calls.
However, even the touch functionality is not working on the blank screen.
So, what do you guys think, just a digitizer replacement will work? or do you think it might need a full LCD assembly replacement. If latter is the case, I might as well dump this phone as its almost End of life.
thanks,
Hi Guys, i am also facing the same problem. The phone was dropped and after an hour the screen started turning blue and within few hours the whole screen went dark blue ( or nearly black). The phone is still switching on and the bottom and side buttons are working but screen is black.
Do i need to replace the screen only or the whole display kit as asked in the first post?
Also i want to take backup of all my contacts,sms, whatsapp messages and other stuff. Is there any way i can do this when there is no display on the screen? Need a solution on urgent basis.
Thanks in advance
Hello,
three months ago the display of my OP3 stopped working, could see the leds flashing when starting up but nothing to see on the screen. So i tried with a broken display from a friends OP3 which was broken but fully working (touchscreen + display). Because everything was working fine with this display i bought an replacement screen from ebay.
First thing when i replaced the display was that with the new display the touchscreen gestures were gone. So i was not able to wake up the phone by douple tap or could start the torch/flashlight with gestures.
So i started searching on google and found out that this should be a problem of LCD as the original display is amoled and most (or all) of the replacement displays are "only" LCD. If that would have been the only problem i think i could arrange with it although i liked to use the gestures.
But sometimes i have the problem that after waking up the phone the touchscreen is not working. Then i have to urn off the screen again and wait some time. Sometimes 30 seconds, sometimes 1 or 2 minutes. This can be really annoying. Apart from that it seems that the touchscreen is working not as good as original one.
So i have a few question which should help me to decide, buying another replacement display, if that, hopefully found and amoled one. Or maybe there is another solution (like new flashing, but i don't believe in that solution really):
1. Is it really true that you can never use display gestures with an amoled display? Does this never works on LCD?
2. On aliexpress there are a few displays sold saying it is an amoled display but there is always said LCD in the title. Do you think that can be amoled or is that not true? If i would by another display it should bea an amoled.
3. Do you think it must be a hardware problem of the new display or it maybe help to put it apart again and there is just a simple connection error for example? Or do you thin it can be a software error?
Greetings and thank you for help

You can try two things. First flash an OOS ROM and see whether it resolves your issue (sometimes it does). Next, you can open up the phone and check the connections.
If both these fail, go for another screen which is comparatively costlier and from a reliable website rather than Aliexpress. The costlier ones usually do not have issues.
Hi.
I would be really grateful for some advice.
I bought this phone (64GB version) in December 2019 (so out of warranty) and have been really pleased with it.
I scratched the screen, quite badly, about 3 months ago but it has been completely fine.
The phone was in pocket, when I was out in the rain the other day, and I noticed that the touch screen was completely unresponsive.
I tested the phone, with a mouse and an OTG USB cable, and it works completely fine - i.e. other than the touch screen not working, the phone is completely fine.
My question, now is what to do.
I have tried to dry the phone out for 48 hours (as recommended), but the screen will not work at all.
A few questions:
1. Is there any way I can check the phone for an error code in respect of the screen?
2. How much would it be to have a replacement screen replaced?
3. Is there a possibility that the screen is fine, but there is something on the phone's board that is in fact at fault?
4. Should I consider, economically, to just get a replacement instead - either the same phone or something else?

Check Developer options > Show Taps to know where the tap location of screen not working. If it has 'dead touch' partially or all of it, the digitizer or the touch layer is damaged. Mine was damaged at the right edge of screen where it did have a row of dead touch. I did replace mine. I recommend Screen + Frame package rather than screen only or even difficult touchscreen only.
It did cost $20 + $2.99 shipping on our online shop (Lazada, a Southeast Asian AliExpress affiliated online shop) for replacement of screen + its frame package. The risk is that it is not original screen anymore (not made by Xiaomi glass) and sometimes, it's a lottery to get working screen. You can do it yourself or assist it with your friend (or technician) who knows how to replace phone's screen.
