Alright, so a customer brought me his Optimus G Pro (E980) for me to replace the digitizer. After replacing the digitizer everything worked fine for me. However, he has an encryption password so when I boot up the phone I cannot get in to test everything. For me, while on the encryption screen it works fine. But when he gets his phone back and gets past the encryption screen it requires him to hold one finger on the screen somewhere to touch anywhere else. I'm getting a new screen just in case but I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas.

My phone has been going great and giving no issues. Byt the other evening suddenly the toicuh screen stopped being responsive!!! Totally randomly. No drop or spil or anythign like that, no new software or roms recently.
When you open it the keyboard still lights up, and after a hard reset, you can navigate a bit using the keys. But ZERO response from the screen!!!
As i say, this is even with a hard reset!!! I also tried using masking tip to pressure the screen in case somethign was stuck.
Ok it mighty be the digitiser, or a loose connection. Im hoping not.
Has anyone experienced this or similar and is tehre anythign else i can try before i take the plunge and get someone to look at it??? (its out of warranty unfort)
Ouch
Sorry to hear. It happened to me months back. It started with very uncalibrated clicks... making corner clicking impossible to compensate for.
I've recompensated, but that didn't last long - and it eventually degraded to no touch screen. With insurance, I did get a refurbish for my woes.
I flashed Stock ROM and relocked. No luck.
I'd still back up everything.
Reformat SD card.
Reflash stock ROM
Relock the device - all to see if it helps.
I did have a similar recent problem - but in this case it's because I was using a clip on hard case front that must've been putting pressure on the touch screen.
Hopefully one of these helps you out. Good luck
When my screen stopped responding it was due to a more physical thing.
I read this somewhere and tried it, worked instantly!
You have to get your finger nail under the screen (try pushing your nail into the edge of the screen from the side) and lift the screen up a bit.
This worked for me. If you think its a physical and not software issue give it a shot.
I have had the same problem.
I bought new touch screen on ebay (about $15) and after replacement the device works well.
stop everything !!!!!
if you have Google G Mail set up on your phone remove it and it will fix it's self
somthing google / G mail is doing the tilt 2 doesn't like
causing the "Sleep Of Death"

It's actually very simple to fix - slide a finger nail under the plastic by the speaker and gently pry the digitizer up. Then, put it back. You dont need to remove it totally from the phone. It will flex back to its flat shape as soon as the glue releases. As soon as you stick it back down, the touch screen will work again.
I know this question has been asked in the past but as there was no solution I am posting in the hope of some help.
I replaced my son's cracked digitizer screen (that was working!) with a new replacement screen. The disassembly went well (easy really) and the cracked screen was removed. The new screen was fitted and the assembly went well. All ribbons fittted easily and everything was back in place. I fired on the phone. Everything still fine. When the phone was ready to go I tried to swipe the unlock on screen and ......nothing! The touchscreen was completely unresponsive. I disassembled a further two times in case ribbons were not inserted correctly but still nothing from the screen.
Has anyone attempted the digitizer replacement and encountered this problem and then solved it? Please help my son is so unhappy without his phone.
Theres a chance you bought a faulty digitizer. Your best bet is to buy anotehr xperia off of ebay.
So I'm a newbie here, I dropped my LG OPTIMUS AT&T PHONE, and only the top part of touch screen works.
I'm wondering as I've replaced screen/digitizers on my HTC's and iPhones. But never anything this new!
My brother usually helps me, but he's not available so I turn to you all. Someone please help me. I have very important stuff on that phone and need it working asap. Long story short, I have custody court soon and a lot of my info that will help bring my kids home is on there in many different areas of phone. Plus I want my damn phone back. So question is, if the lower 3 touch buttons font work and the top half does, the crack is in lower right corner of phone, its just the glass the screen itself is not damaged, I could be wrong, but visibly looks fine. Anyone have any knowledge or can advise me on wth to do. Please
If you have recovery installed..do nandroid backup, copy it to you pc then to another optimus g. OR you could use Airdroid App to control phone through pc. I think Youtube had a video regarding disassembling...
Hi, the digitizer is broken, I just replaced mine because of this. The screen is actually really easy to replace but dont forget to use a lot of heat to remove the digitizer because its glued into place.
My S3 has been working fine for months sort of. I bought it off of ebay with a huge crack in the glass, then my brother dropped it and all the glass fell out. To use the phone we has to touch the bare LCD of the phone, which after a while we just but a screen cover over it. I waited 2 months, bought a new glass replacement and put it on, everything worked just fine. After a little the home button when pressed to the left a little would make the screen go crazy. it would start tapping and swiping in random places. After locking and waking the screen the phone was normal again. after that, i removed the glass again, and this time when putting it back on if i pushed the home button it pushed the glass down a little, which would turn my screen black. locking the phone and waking the screen again turned the screen back on. Also the screen was a lot less sensitive, i'd have to tap a key 2-5 times sometimes to hit a specific letter. whenever that happened i put 3 dsi's to weigh it down and push the screen down, which would improve the sensitivity. that worked twice, and now my screen doesn't respond to touch at all. the screen will wake, but only when i press on the bottom right corner of the screen will it respond to touch. Any word on what could be the problem? i need to know what to buy to replace in the phone. I've already taken the whole phone apart and plugged everything back in, after i had tried everything to get my phone to respond. Could this be a digitizer problem, or an LCD problem? any possible fixes without having to replace anything?
The first issue was using the device without the glass installed. By touching the bare LCD you most likely damaged it. Your best bet at this point is probably going to be to replace the Touch assembly ( Glass / LCD Touch digitizer ) . Also keep in mind, when doing any sort of Screen replacement. Be sure to keep everything as clean, and dust free as possible.
Change the screen on my g2, ls980, and when I switch it looks good, I use it and it works. But when he turned off the screen and want to turn back, no catches. is heard when you unlock as you move. but the screen does not turn on.
What could it be? I make? please help.
So the G2 sucks in the fact the Digitizer and LCD tend to go together but not necessarily at the same time. If you crack the glass the LCD 9 times out of 10 will slowly fail. Speaking from multiple experiences. ?
