Hi,
The Sony and Sharp are not compatible with each other( I've tried to replace one with the other), I've never come across the Acer LCD in Australia so I'm not sure. If you don't know how to tell the Sharp and Sony apart, the Sharp has Green backing on the flex cable, while the Sony is sort of orange with a few yellowish stripeson the back of the LCD flex cable. Sorry I couldn't find any of my photos which show the difference. I would recommend buying the LCD/digitizer combo and a separate midframe to mount it on, as it comes with new 3M adhesive, but you may also have to add a few TINY drops of instant adhesive, I say tiny as too much will press out under the digitizer and will show up, but I have found that without it the digitizer will lift from the frame eventually due to the tight fit of the frame in the rear shell of the HOX.
Hope you go ok!

Sorry, just a bit of additional info, have also come across posts saying the colours of the LCD look washed out with the wrong LCD.

That's the only downside - having to pull phone apart to check which one you have. Also another tip, phone need to be on to change LCD's, boot phone up with it apart, then wake up with power button on old screen, then sleep with power button, change screens then wake up again. There are plenty of vids on youtube to help, if new screen doesn't activate, check flex cable is in square and all the way - have had this problem before also.

I replaced my screen, but I powered down when removing the screen, and putting the replacement in. Now neither will light up. How do you solve this?
There are no guarantees with this, but try pulling the battery out for a minute or two. then with the original screen in, boot up and let it get to the lock screen wait for the screen to sleep then press power button to wake up then again to sleep. when the screen is sleeping try changing over the screens and then press power button to wake again. this is assuming that the screen displays on startup, but even if it doesn't try this process anyway. if it doesn't work, try doing with the new screen back to the old screen after pulling the battery. I have only ever come across this once, but it wasn't from powering down during a screen change, but pulling the battery seemed to fix it.

I tried that, didn't work. I think I know the problem now. after searching on multiple forums, I think it's the 220 coil. A lot of people have had a similar issue, and they say they've solved it by replacing the coil. What I want to know is, how I managed to short the coil in the span of a few minutes, despite having used the same screen as the cracked one.
It is possible to do, although they can go for no reason, I recommend taking it somewhere to get coil replaced, it is a very fiddly job and you need to have a steady hand and the right tools (hot air gun) although my father managed to do one with a standard soldering iron, although it wasn't the best job. you risk damaging other components also if they blow off the mainboard (if you can find them), worst case scenario is the display ic has gone - that one will have to be done by a professional.
what a sh!t phone
we tried to repare it 2 years ago.
but failed.
so i just the pieces to gether wanted to see if i can fix it.
still not lcd just touchscreen (and now im not sure if i even have touchscreen lol maybe i broke that to now not sure
anyway sucks i have a brand new lcd touchscreen with frame we bought back then. and its even the right screen a green flex cable like the original one and still noting so i guess i broke the 220 chip thing how dont know. but not sure if i can replace it sucks it was a good phone
is there any help a easy fix? or do i really need to soldern that chip i cant sell the phone since there is personal data on it contacts and pictures (i guess dont remembrer)
It may still be replaceable, if it's been sitting for 2 headed is the phone taking a charge? It needs to be on to change the screen. If it is charging and booting up, and the screen still won't work when being changed try doing a hard reset by holding the power and volume down button until it restarts - have had advice by someone who repairs phones for a living that this should reset what the phone is looking at for hardware and you should be able to do screen replacement. Failing that chances are it's going to be dead. Not much point in selling it these days as they aren't worth much these days. If the phone won't start the battery may be dead flat. The phone needs some voltage to run its charging firmware, you can try to get it charging by leaving on charge for 10 min or more, even if no charge light, then hold power/vol up/vol down at the same time to recalibrate the charge circuit, it may start to charge after this.
Let me know how it goes, I wouldn't spend too much time on it, unless it's now a project..

ow volum down? okay will try that. but i think i killed it lol cause the charging light wont come on anymore lol
it was just a idea that poped up in my head, that maybe i can save it so i friend can use it but i think i will just trow it away lol or something will give it a shot and see. will report back
nvm it's dead it wont even boot lol. i think i burned sometime lol that little cable that onder the battery thats conects the botem part with the other fliped out 2 time and 3time it smeled burned lol nvm
Sounds like it may have shorted, a replacement is fairly cheap , just depends on how serious you are about spending money on it.
I forgot to mention that when calibrating charge circuit with power/vol up/vol down all held down at the same time, they need to be held down for at least 2 minutes.

Probably the best result, it's probably cheaper to to buy a second hand one and also cause less aggravation when you can't work out why it won't work. You could always sell the replacement screen.

dont think i will sell it i mean who would buy it? lol but guess i could try for like 20euro or 10 lol.
and have 2 batteries for 10 or 5 euro lol
have 3 backcovers also 2 white and 1 black.
we bought every thing to repaire it but yeah.
could maybe sell some **** but pff dont knopw. (its my oncles old phone will ask him (maybe sell every thing exept de motherboard)
That's what I'd do, try and sell it for parts minus the mainboard. If that doesn't work, put it away somewhere and if you come across a dead one cheap, swap the mainboards out (providing it has the same screen - that's a given). Good luck with whatever you decide to do. :good:
Hello all
I dropped my G3 a few months ago and cracked the screen. Recently got it replaced with a brand new OEM screen.
When I boot the phone, the touch works properly, can navigate the menus, everything. As soon as I turn the screen off, only knock on works but the touch doesn't work. I can't unlock the phone unless I remove the battery and boot again. There's no touch available in TWRP as well.
I'm currently flashing a stock ROM, Android L, hoping that it will solve the problem. If it doesn't, I fear I may have to resort to other methods. If any of you have experienced this, please let me know as to what steps you've taken to remedy it.
Thank you in advance.

Did you do it yourself or did you send it in or take it to a repair shop? If you didn't do it yourself, I would take it back and demand they fix it at no extra cost.
If you did it yourself, did you get the screen with the digitizer along with it? Just replacing the screen, on most phones, without getting a digitizer already fused to it means trouble.
Also, if you did it yourself, check all connections. I know with my daughters iPod, I had to replace the screen and it wasn't easy and the first time, all the touch areas didn't work correctly. You also have to be careful that you don't ruin the digitizer when installing the screen.
Also, you have to be real careful of all the connectors and the board. One wrong move and you could tear a cable, crack the main board, etc. I refuse to do any more self maintenance on devices like this. Best to either shell out the cash to have it fixed, or just get a new one. That, or also get extended warranties to cover damage to the device.
Also, did you have it in a case protector? If not, you might want to go get one. Otterbox's are worth the money. Yes, it makes the phone bulkier, but I'd rather pay $40 or so for their protector which really helps.

A friend who's an LG technician did it for me. Replaced the screen and digitizer I believe. He tested it on another G3 and the screen works perfectly. Given that the screen works on another G3, do you think it is likely that this is a software issue and not hardware?
I have a case that came with the phone but I've never used it, however, that's definitely going to change from now on.

I can't even pretend to know what might be the issue. I would take it back to your friend and ask him to look at it, if not replace it again.

Yeah, he asked me to return it to stock and then test it seeing as his internet speed sucks, and if it still sin't working then he'll take it back to work on it.
Will report back if the software update works or not.
Just an update, flashing to stock didn't work. Only way I can use the phone now is to set the screen to never turn off

I've tried everything, finally figured out that it only works with the quick circle case. If I close the case and wait for the circle to show up then open it, touch works. It's probably something internal that's messed up but I've since given the phone to LG themselves for a quote and possible repair.

Hello,
I just repaired a G3 screen and found that now, the G3 only works after the first time you unlock it, when it boots up. It works perfect, but when I press the power button to lock it, then when I press it again, the digitizer doesn't work. No matter if it there's the pattern lock, or anything. Could it be that te proximity sensor is damaged? How can I deactivate it in order to try it?
Thank you

I have tried an app that tests the proximity sensor and it works perfect. I don't know what is happening..
And it works now, trying, after closing and opening the smart cover... But I have to do it everytime I need to use the digitizer... Is strange
Thank you
Does anyone know what happens? Maybe the clue is in settings, but I haven't found anything at this moment.
Any clue?
Not working after hard reset
I've hard reseted the phone, and I have still to close the cover and open it to make the digitizer work. Do you know if installing another ROM will fix the problem?
exact same problem here
Have you found the solution yet?
Had the same problem with my G3, had to send it to warranty repair, cost me 130 euros since I had it fixed with non-official parts, it had to do with the proximity sensor being behind a certain type of glass that didn't allow it to work properly.
To summarize it into two solutions now, either I buy the lg g4 smart cover to bypass the digitizer problem or to send it to warranty and install the original glass back. Will it be the same if I replace the non original glass with original glass from lg myself?
If u could gwt away with using a g4 smart cover on a g3 then id choose that route dude. Download the app offerup and see if anybody local has one. People sell tons of phone cases and accesories u might find one cheap i use this app its where i bought my g3 from for 100 bucks lol
---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------
Is it lg or samsung that has this feature where when u use a smart cover only that part of the screen lights up n the other pixels are off to save battery? I read on it a few years back
I think I have solved the problem on my g4. I open back back my phone motherboard and reconnect and test the digitizer for a few times. It seems that my Mainboard is not pushed enough against the digitizer. Right now if I press the back of my phone a bit hard. The problem will appear again. And I need to press the back again for a few times to solve this.
my old boss has a business fixing phones. I use to help em with iphones. Well i had broke my lg g2 n asked em to fix it n he says he dont do Lg g2 g3 or g4 he said he lost so much money doing them because half the time after fixing it the screen wouldnt even power on. He said if it did it wouldnt last longer than the 1 year warranty he offers. Idk why that is because he fixes just about any other phone but LG he didnt mess with.
I'm approaching this problem for a second time after about one and a half years of just having the phone stashed in a cupboard. I have made a post regarding this in 2018 but there wasn't any way to access the data inside back then. Now that it's been some time i'm again wondering if i can get any use out of this phone.
Basically what happened was that the touchscreen stopped responding out of the blue and never recovered. I gave this off for repairs back then (I didn't purchase hardware warranty for the phone) and in the repairman's infinite wisdom he said there is a faulty "IC" in the display panel that keeps on burning out even when replaced. He apparently did the repair three or four times but the same issue appears a few minutes after booting up.... So in terms of hardware, i know this isn't fixable.. Or atleast that our approach to the whole thing was wrong.
But now i'm wondering if there is any way to get the OTG working so i can connect a mouse and use this as a... I don't know like a tab or something. I can still get a ton of use out of this thing if OTG works. Problem is OTG was on timeout, And given that the phone was on idle for more than 18 months, OTG is now turned off. Which means unless i turn it on from the in device settings, i can't get it to work.
Any way i can get any sort of use out of this phone? I spent too much on this phone to just throw it away haha...
PS: Old thread FYI - https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/help/help-data-oneplus-5t-unresponsive-screen-t3824092
why not just buy a new digitizer LCD frame assembly?

Hallo,
the display of my POCO F3 is broken, meaning black screen. The device itself starts normally. How can I save my data? USB debugging is disabled and I can't activate it because the broken display of course.
Could anyone help me to save my data?
Thanks in advance!
Your data is safe. However you may need to wait awhile to access it.
Your best bet is to get your screen replaced.
Call around to local cell phone repair buisnesses and see if they any replacement screens in stock for the poco f3. If you have a xiaomi repair center near, even better. If no one had one in stock, your best to order one yourself. (this is where you may have to wait a bit as it may have to be shipped from china) if you're comfortable replacing your screen yourself, do that. But having the broken device in hand, with its replacement screen, and taking those into any cell phone repair store, they should be able to fix you up pretty quickly and shouldnt be too much money since you did the leg work of retrieving the screen.
That's the route I would go, or at least get the ball rolling in a new display coming in the mail. Because trying to retrieve that data without usb debugging on, may be a bit of a rabit hole.
Hi,
To save your data, did you try this (with a PC of course)
https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
Maybe you still have access to the phone despite the broken screen.
Let me know if it worked.
Not well read, "USB debugging is disabled", so it will not work....Sorry

Thanks for the suggestion, but honestly I don't think it's worth it. I have already received offers and they are from 190 € upwards. And I do not trust myself to exchange the display. In this case, wouldn't it make more sense to request a data backup from a company? I don't know how expensive that is though.
Isn't there any way to backup the date in recovery mode? I know that pressing the start and volume up button will get me into recovery mode. I've read somewhere that from there I can back up my data via the MI PC Suite, by pressing the down button twice. Is that correct? Regardless of that, I haven't yet managed to get into recovery mode with the broken display.
You can get a display and just connect it (don't remove the old display, just connect the new one).
It's silly that "ro.adb.secure" only means that it has to handshake and popup to allow ADB.
There really should be a mode where you say, "Only the 3 computers that I've already connected are acceptable and allow no further new ADB clients".
Then *everybody* could leave ADB on all the time.

Could you explain to me, how to do this or provide a link to a tutorial for example?
You'd just open the back of your device. The screen hooks in with an orange flex cable. You just disconnect the old one and plug in the new one out the back, just flopping around. You won't have touch, but you can hook up a USB mouse.
I don't know your model. I can't get more specific.
It's just that a new screen by itself out of China can't be too expensive?
And if you like, after you get your data you can try to actually replace the screen yourself.
I have got access to my daughters P30, with broken display, over MHL display. The difficulty is just to find the right place on the display to allow MHL display.

But won't I need to enter my pin first to allow the MHL display?
If the touch is still working you may be able to enter your PIN.
Get a similar size device, go to the PIN screen, mark the position using clear wrap and a marker. Transfer the positions onto your screen.
Or use a scrap of plexiglas, mark it, then drill small holes and use that to mark your phone.
Or use an usb-keyboard.
