Hi,
Ok I attempted to replace the digitizer on my LG G3 well the lcd was still good. After I took everything apart had to get the old glass and lcd separated. I did that but in the process the black front to the lcd (black plastic that is glued to digitizer) came off with the digitizer. Is that part crucial to the lcd screen working? Also I after putting it back together all I get now is a blank white lcd screen which comes on for a few seconds after holding power button and cuts right back off. Also when i put it on the charger now I get a constant blinking red led light and the phone starts to get really hot until pulled from the charger. Has anyone else experienced this before? What could be the problem?
I know I´m a bit late but I just experienced the same problem. Did you manage to fix it? Because I don´t want to spend about 40-50€ for a non-original display + digitizer.

Sadly, no. Since I got the digitizer for 6€ (paypal gave me 10€ discount) I think the easiest way is to get a LCD+digitizer.

I recently replaced just the broken glass screen on my evo. When I turned it on now, the screen is all black now. I hear it still working, I hear SMS and phone calls, but cant see anything. I didnt replace the entire LCD just the clear part. When I was prying the clear screen off, it was sticking to the lcd, which also was cracked. So I got the screen off but the other part came with it. I dont know if it was connected to the LCD and it was broken off or if its ok seperated. Its just the dark looks like tinted glass that goes directly over the LCD and under the clear screen (digitizer). So, can anyone tell me if maybe I damaged the LCD screen.
Thanks in advance.
So before replacing the glass/digitizer, the lcd still worked fine? Based on your description it sounds like the lcd. You may just have a loose ribbon connection...have you tried redoing the ribbons?
I'm about to dive into the same mission. Thinking twice about it now.....
Yes the glass was broken for about 1 month but it still worked fine the LCD was working. I've tried reconnecting the ribbons various times also tried connecting the old glass digitizer, but still the same result. I'm not sure if that tinted screen was part of the LCD and is now broken or if I somehow damaged something else when I was connecting it.

to tell the truth changing just the glass is definitely the cheapest route, but from what I've read is more difficult than buying the whole replacement LCD. I paid $25 on eBay but the whole LCD is closer to like $75.

So you mean it is easier to purchase a digitizer and LCD that still connected as one piece (http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Sprint-HTC-Evo-4G-LCD-p/htc736815.htm) as opposed to doing the digitizer or LCD individually? If I went that route I would just pay a 3rd party cell phone repair shop to do the work for 100 bucks...then you can hold someone else accountable.
I found the LCD here for cheap: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250782149841&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Supposed to arrive tomorrow so I will find out if the lcd is indeed the problem
thanks for that link, I may have to try that.
Hi everybody,
I have problem with my HTC Touch Pro 2.
It was fully working until I damaged my LCD screen and digitizer.
So I ordered a new one LCD and digitizer from ebay. I changed old lcd and digitizer, booted up my HTC and everything looked allright. But problem came soon. Touch screen can't recognize my touch exactly. For example, if I click on something, digitizer solve it allways about 2-3mm higher. So I can't click on start, battery and every other click is moved about 2-3mm higher.
I made a calibration, but without any effect. I made a hard reset and than a calibration, problem still same.
And if try to make a new calibration (after first calibration after HR), I click on first cross (in the middle of screen), then up-left corner, down-left corner, down-right corner, up-right corner and nothing happens, I have to click on first cross again... and whole procedure again... So I have to make a HR and try to make a new calibration... still same problem.
Could anybody help me please? I'm going crazy, because I like my HTC and I can't use it anymore.
Is there any other way to make a calibration or how can I repair it?
ROM:
Energy.RHODIUM.29022.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Jul.04.7z
(I have this ROM before I damaged LCD screen, any it worked fine)
It almost sounds like the screen/digitizer aren't lined up correctly... Just my .02.

Thanks for reply.
Ok, then It seems to be a HW problem between screen and digitizer?
So what can I do now? Try to repair it again?
How can I check, if digitizer is OK? or could be digitizer bad at all?

I'm just guessing from your description. I've never actually replaced the screen... If the two have to line up perfectly, I would ensure they are lined up correctly. Perhaps try slightly moving the digitizer down...

Ok, thanks. But I can't move with a digitizer, because it is in fixed position. Maybe I can move with a screen under a digitizer, but then I will not be able to see whole screen (digitizer has a black edge/margin/border).
Any other suggestion?

Nope, all I got. Calibration always works perfectly for me - if calibration doesn't work, there certainly must be some hardware problem. You replaced the screen, unfortunately you must establish where the hardware issue lies.
I don't have any help for you, sorry, just jumping on the wagon. My touch screen worked fine for a year but is now way off (1.5-2 inches sometimes) without having damaged the screen to my knowledge. I've switched roms (from MR.X to Mighty) and hard reset. If I try to calibrate it just keeps running through the process. Should I try to replace the digitizer? I plan on getting an iPhone if possible on Sprint in the coming month but would like to sell this for at least a little bit.
To both of you guys - have you ensured there's nothing between the screen or digitizer? Nothing that is wedged on the edge of the screen...?
I know some had reported complete screen failures just from some gunk that got wedged on the side of the screen.

Thought about that, but dismissed the tiny little amounts of gunk on the edge..currently searching for a toothpick or something small to clean out the edge. Thanks for the idea! Will report back.
Thanks so much arrrghhh! Found a small pin and got out most of the dust/gunk that was between one side of my phone. Apparently that bezel side is just a little bit looser. You saved me lots of time and money! Thanks. Always helpful on here and PPCGeeks.
Edit #2: Must still be more junk because the 100% functionality just went away. Time to clean it again
Hi
First time poster here but long time lurker. My friend has tried to replace the screen on his HTC One X (LCD and Digitizer) and has turned it back on and the screen now only works on the left hand side only.
See photo he took attached.
He has asked me to take a look as I fixed my DesireZ screen before, but no idea how the HTC One X goes together. I had a look at some YouTube tutorials and it seems similar, but I'm unsure whats broke, as it appears that half the screen is working, so therefore I guess its the LCD rather than the digitizer? or is it something completely different or a loose connection?
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

It looks like the LCD connection is messed up. Try swiping on the side of the screen that is black, if it responds then the digitizer is fine.
Thanks
He said when he presses on black screen it still responds, so is it just LCD that needs replacing?

Great, thanks
Had a look at the phone today, LCD is broke but also the clip which holds the LCD ribbon in place. Anyone any ideas if this is a part I can buy?
I just replaced the digitizer and most of the housing for my 4G AT&T Xperia Play. It successfully turned on and charges, but the screen doesn't respond to my swiping or tapping. It does change orientation when the game pad is pulled out and the game pad does work since I can use it to navigate the menu when I press and hold the power button. Does anyone know what I messed up? And is there a ROM that allows the use of the game pad for all operations if I can never get the screen digitizer to work?
So now I can charge it and turn it on, but I can't swipe to open get past the lock screen...
Does anyone have any ideas, please?
Besides not having the ribbon cables plugged in no I dont have any ideas. I replaced my screen once and it worked fine.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Maybe it is because I used super glue as an adhesive to glue the glass on?

I would not assume the super glue has anything to do with it unless you caked it on. Funny thing though, as soon as I did my old swap I realized how much worse the Chinese lcd was from the oem Sony screen. Weird ghosting and shadowing when moving in side scrolling games. Sold the Xperia and bought another one on Craigslist.
Hello everyone.
The LCD of my S3 was broken so I ordered a replacement screen on eBay.
It arrived and I replaced it without incident. (It was an LCD + Frame + digitizer assembly)
But after a couple hours I noticed that the LCD is a couple of millimeters smaller on each side.
It is really not noticeable on first sight. The first days I dismissed it because it was something that didn't bug me too much.
But I noticed that I keep mistyping when I'm using the keyboard. Also I keep missing other onscreen buttons and it drives me insane!
I think this is because the digitizer is made for a larger LCD.
First I thought that it was a software problem, but you can see the borders even when the display is off.
I tried taking a picture and you can definitely see it on the left and the bottom border.

http://i.imgur.com/PgR6gDd.jpg (I turned the brightness to the max here so you could see the borders.)
Should I ask for an RMA? Or am I seeing ghosts here??
Love to hear your thoughts.
That s not an SAMSUNG OEM LCD Display.. Look at capacitive buttons color...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
If you look at the spacing the Samsung logo at both the top and bottom, there is an extra bit of space and as you rightly said, the bezels on the sides are a bit thicker. If it gives you peace of mind, then go for the RMA, but chances are you might end up getting the same thing. Maybe you could try a different seller? Where did you purchase it from?

Yeah probably not
The capacitive buttons are the normal white color. In the picture they are not on.

Touch function Not working
Hi,
I am using Galaxy S3 Korean Version (SHV-E210L).
I have tried TraingleAway V2.35 to reset flash counter. But it did not reset flash counter, but damaged touch function. Now my phone display is working, but touch function is not working. I am using OTG cable with Mouse for urgent works.
I have two things which i need answer. Can some one help me.. ::crying:
1. Before i fix this, i need to reset flash counter anyway. But latest versions of TraingleAway are not working for this model and Previous versions from V2.35 is also give massge stating "Are you not using ICS". Phone has Android 4.3. So can some one give me a solution?
2. I want to fix touch problem and i search for digitizer in Ebay. But there are digitizers for GT-I9300, but not for SHV-E210L? Is digitizer for 9300is compatible for SHV-E210L? Further waht is screen lens means? Is it digitizer?
Thanks a lot

Hi, that's about the price I paid for supposedly genuine (but not) screens on ebay for my S3, my buttons are also not white as mentioned above.
The first screen I fitted went faulty after about an hour, took a while to get a refund, I had to pay postage back.
Second screen cracked after a very small drop, digitiser was OK, bought replacement screen but when changing it (with heat, etc) the digitiser separated from its backing rather than the screen.... maybe me being ham fisted but I think it was a different bonding used
Third screen/digitiser assembly now has a crack running right across it, and I've not ever dropped it! It still works so I'm leaving it alone and buying a new phone this time.
Also I find the paint comes off the frame very easily by taking it out of a hard case or screen mount and mine looks a mess after a couple of months, and the frame joint is obvious and creaks when pressed.
So these screen aren't very good - but I couldn't find a definitely genuine screen for a price that was worth bothering to fix the phone.... I would definitely get a tempered glass protector if I did fit another of these.....
