Diplay defective

Hi,
my LCD display is defective. It shows only two narrow blue stripes after its falling down ;-(
Do somebody know this problem and could tell me whats could be wrong?
I have already send it to an supporter and i hope it will be repaired for free, (warranty) But if not is there a difference between the display and the Touchscreen? I saw a webshop where both was salling?!
Soory fpr my bad bdab english...
nochmal auf deutsch wenn jemand versteht.
Mein Display ist kaputt nachdem es mir runtergefallen ist. Es zeigt nur noch 2 blaue schmale streifen. Kenn jemend das Problem und kann mir vielleicht sagen woran das liegen könnte?
Ich habe es mittlerweile zur reperatur weggeschickt und hoffe das es auf garantie repariert wird!
Aber wenn nicht mache ich es selbst. Gibt es einen unterschied zwischen dem Display und dem Touchscreen? In einem Webshop wurde beides angeboten?

Yes, there are two parts, the LCD Display, and on top of that the Touch Screen.

You can get a new LCD Screen for £50 on eBay, a Digitiser (the bit on top that makes it 'touch') for £7, or both together for £30. (Dont ask why the prices dont make sense).

Yes thank for that answers...
I have found a Shop that offers both.
http://www.pda-square.de/PDA-Zubehoer-HTC-Artemis-P3300_c7-15-492_x1.htm
The Display for about 100 € (EURO) and The Touchpad for about 80-90 €
Could both be defective or is that improable?
Edit:
I'm stu..... When the Display shows just these stripes ist the display defective. A Touchscreen shows never pictures... *boing*

you will know if the Digitiser doesnt work, because u wont be able to tap on anything, or it will be in a random place (usually due to a crack in it).
if its just the screen going dodgy, i would think its just the LCD display. They are a hell of a lot easier to change as a complete unit (LCD + Digitiser), but it is possible to just change one.
The touch screen is clear, it just picks up where u poke it.

Yes its dosn't look easy with these fine connection tapes and they must lay exactly on top of each other... But i have no fear to damage it... finally i have learnt to deal with something like that in my job... I hope so
I hope that i will not damage the Chassis, it look a litle bit difficult to open it and im not a "precision mechanic"

100 euro? that expensive?
I've ordered a LCD + Digitiser for the eten x500 for $74.52 ( +- 55 euro).
It will be arriving tomorrow, and it has been advertised as T-Mobile MDA compact III LCD Screen&Digitizr TD028TTEB1.
The price includes tools to open the casing (without scratching it), and a screenprotector + shipping!!!
It's not from Germany, but still worth a try..
GL

tool to open the case... lol its just a few clips, a small screwdriver works well! its fairly easy, just take ur time and make sure u find all the places each bit is attached

Off course it's possible to open the casing with a small screwdriver. But if you use a smal screwdriver, there will be too much presure from the tip.
It was a bit difficult to open the thight casing of the x500 without leaving a few marks behind on the paint or bending the plastic. Anyway I was just explaining that you can get a complete package for just under 60 euro.

yeh sounds good. I wish i had found the guide to taking it apart before i did too... could have been useful!

Are there any benefits to a curved screen?

Like the Nexus S, this phone has a curved screen. I have always wondered - is this just a gimmick or are there any real benefits to it?

I never owned a Nexus S, but the contour screen is also on Sony Vita(I think), and Contour looks better IMO.
http://pocketnow.com/android/what-is-the-contour-display-on-the-nexus-s

Supposedly its stronger by nature and crack resistant. Not crack proof. Resistant. I can see where its stronger but the crack resistance i can only see being if you dropped on the top or bottom of phones and that energy can be transferred/absorbed or whatever in the slight flexibilty curved glass has compared to flat glass. If you dropped on the side or something directly on the glass methinks you might poop your pants if the worst happens.
I voided my warranty and your nexus.

Curve means it conforms to the contour of your upper thigh and butt cheeks....handy when you put it on your front and back pockets respectively.

Also when you hold it against your ear.

just something else to put on the spec sheet

I'm not sure about crack resistant. I would guess that when you drop a phone flat on it's face, a flat screen would spread the impact to the entire screen, while a curved one would not; less surface area, which is a disadvantage.

But if you drop it on it's end (I imagine more likely with the thicker bottom-end on the Prime) I would expect it to flex and better absorb shock than a flat screen.

when I got the nexus s I thought it was a gimmick but I like that when I lay my phone screen down on a flat surface the screen doesn't touch because of the curve. Also, I don't know if it makes the screen crack resistant, but I've dropped my S more than I'd like to admit without a case or screen protector and no cracks...
Mostly, its probably a preference/gimmick thing. IMHO

I've owned the Nexus S, I don't know from a structure point of view, a curved screen is any better, but I do like how the phone hugs my face when i talk on it, and the thicker chin at the bottom makes it a lot easier to grab the phone out of my pocket, because you have something to hold on to.

MobilePhysicsReview ran a study after Nexus S.....If you drop it and it lands on the the top or bottom it actually bounces right back up into your hands.

I imagine this curved glass also helps disstort light reflexes making it easier to use in bright light. This is nothing i can confirm, it's just a thought

If you google for the new Nokia E9 you will see that a not perfectly flat screen can look great. Its getting great reviews, but its all just the looks.

Well one thought I had (just speculating) is that when you use the speakerphone and put the phone on the table, the curve will allow the speaker output on the back to sound better because it's not directly against the table surface?

Thats a good thought but the backs of these phones still tend to be generally flat. The atrix speaker is angled outward a little and helps reflect a little bit of the sound but away from the user.

It may give you a nice feeling as you are holding a landline phone when making a call..

If I remember correctly Google advertised the curved screen with to major advantages.
1. Better ergonomics while you're doing a call or sharing a little bit love with your phone.
2. It reduces the reflections by 75%. But the website isn't clear about this point it could be because of the glas but it could also be because of the screen itself.
I found the Swiss version of the page. Here's the quote and the link. Unfortunately it's on German so you have to trust me or use Google Translation.
Nexus S
German Text
Das Nexus S wird von Samsung hergestellt und ist das erste Smartphone des Herstellers mit einem leicht konkav gewölbten 10,2 cm (4 Zoll) Display. Hierdurch liegt es nicht nur gut in der Hand, sondern schmiegt sich beim Telefonieren angenehm an das Gesicht.

The Nexus S is manufactured by Samsung and is the first smartphone of the manufacturer with a slightly concave curved 10.2 cm (4 inch) display. In this way, it is not only good in the hand, but nestled comfortably on the phone to the face.

Outdoor use,
Take the Nexus S with a breath of fresh air: Compared to other smartphone displays the reflection could be reduced by 75%. As a result, your videos, pictures and games can also be seen in sunlight.

What needs to confirmed is this point here.
Nexus S doesn't have curved screen it's just the glas.
I don't know yet if it is the same case with the Galaxy Nexus.

I heard women get turned on when they see a phone with a curved screen. Only time will tell...

it also stops the screen from scratching when you have it lying screen first on a table or something

Spare part Displays without anti shatter film (ASF)?

Hello,
a few weeks ago, I received a spare part as my display cracked and I wanted to exchange it myself. I ordered it in the UK via eBay.
As the display arrived, everything was okay - it looks the same as the original one, it is just as bright and brilliant.
But one thing confuses me. The anti shatter film that is usually part of the display unit is not there.
The dealer told me that there are no ASFs on the displays.
So far, there is no scratch on the screen and everything else is still okay. Except this detail.
Can anyone confirm this or is the display a fake one?
Thanks in advance!

What should the picture show? The display is now glued to my device and the difference is not really visible.
Usually, you can use your fingernail and feel the ASF at the edges of the glass as the film does not cover the glass completely (maybe half a millimeter is uncovered). This is not possible on my device as there is no ASF.

Do you have a Sony logo on the new display? On my phone this logo was on the ASF, not on the display itself.

Yes, the logo is on the display. On my old display it was on the ASF, too.
I thought I could remove the ASF again to get that clean look, but no.

That's sounds good... Because the Sony logo is printed in the glass... Could you post the link of the spare part?

It seems to me that most of the displays sold on eBay are fake ones as mine. Yesterday, I got another one from another seller in Germany. Same thing. You are right, it is a good idea to print the Sony logo directly on the glass.
After a few weeks with the fake display, I cannot recommend it for the following reasons:
When the display gets dirty or wet, you get crazy input immediately. I have to switch off and clean the display when my device starts to do stuff without me. Absolutely annoying.
Another detail that I noticed during my vacation is that the fake display is not usable in landscape mode when you use polarized sunglasses. The original display has no problem here.
The Sony logo is also printed a bit thicker than on the original.
Well, I got no answer from the German seller so far for my accusation that the display is fake.
And as nobody answered that he got a display without an ASF, I assume that only fake displays do not have it.

OP3's curved edge

Hello,
Just wanted to know because I can't find it anywhere else if the curved edges on screen were useful (displaying things and used by screen) or just some more confort in hand ? If it does display things then is it more confortable ?
Thank you,
Cheers.

It means it is slightly curved in the edges so that it doesn't have a sharp edge. The curve is not visible unless you stare at it intently and/or is viewing it in a bright light (because the reflection caused by the edges looks different).
The use for this? Probably just for vanity purpose (but the phone looks elegant as heck if you see it in front), but XDA has mentioned that it can also be to reinforce the glass (I don't know, I'm not an expert at these things, someone please correct me here).

2.5 D means that the display is not curved at all but the edge of the glass is. this is done in order to achieve a more unified feel when holding the phone in the hands. there is no actual curved display. And @F4uzan the curved glass helps with shattering since its not as easily chipped from drops does not make the actual glass itself more durable. just harder to chip leading to harder to crack on the edges.

A question about my tempered glass screen protector

Hello everybody,
I'm new in this forum, I would have a question about my smartphone (Honor 9).
Some days ago I bought a full coverage glass screen protector (sorry, but the forum doesn't allow me to paste the URL).
I installed it today; the procedure went right, there are no bubbles and the glass is centered, but I have a doubt.
In all Youtube videos that I watched before the installation, the glass screen protectors seem held on the screen by the "vacuum effect" (sorry, I don't know the right english word) and NOT by a glue. As a consequence, the removal procedure is quite easy.
The problem is that on my screen protector there is a very strong glue on the blue edges.
So, my question is: is the presence of this glue normal? If I will need to remove the glass in future, will I have problems?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english.
Best regards.
