Hello guys the last week while i was using my phone scrolling in app drawer i realized that the touchscreen was not so responsive especially in the mid of the touchscreen.I tried to install another rom than gdxv020 i was using but the same , tried to draw something in paint but it seems there are 2 big lines in the mid that cannot be painted.I think its hardware problem.Does any of you had the same problem with me and can a suggest a solution for my problem?Did the touchscreen "died" and need to be replaced?Thank you , i am waiting for your replies..
PS: My digitizer was cypress and i was using Darkfrmr's fix for hard to pull up status bar so i dont think the problem is because something is wrong with ax8mt.ko.
i don't know whats the problem, but first i would repair the phone with SEUS, see if its helps, before i'd take the phone to the service

Take it to the Sony service center before you do anything else to your lovely phone
'cos it appears that it is a hardware problem with u...
Thank you both for your replies.I went on Friday to a local sony service center and they told me that the touchscreen had the problem and need to be changed , the bad is that the warranty expired and now i have to pay the whole amount.The cost is about at 60E for a genuine new digitizer including the cost for the installation.I think it doesnt worth so much money because the whole phone costs that much so i will decide in the week what i am going to do with the phone..Selling it for parts to buy a new one or fix it.
Hope you'll get a cypress phone

Guys i have good news! I decided today to dissasemble it and give it a try to fix it.The only things i used was a hairdryer to heat the digitizer not more than 20 seconds and then i used a plastic tool and started pushing for a couple of minutes all the edges around(Check the photo bellow).VOILA!!.When i put the parts back together i was able to unlock the lockscreen finally plus i saved 60E ! If any of you guys facing a problem with the touchscreen and you had check that is not rom's or module's problem and your warranty expired give it a try..I am so excited that my X8 is back!

Thank you!
You started a (q) thread and we thank for it , but its nice, thanks.
Just be aware with the hair dryer!
My old k660i felt off of the washing machine, when it started washing and landed in a bath of water, it was working, but the screen wasn't showing anything, then i turned on hairdryer, used it like for 5 minutes from 0,5 metres distance, and the chips inside it, are overheated and died
So be aware
First thanks for me by: fotak-x and stamatis 16, thanks for it

Hey guys,
My warranty for my captivate ends 08/23 and my phone has stopped charging.
I checked if it would charge with different USB cables and chargers but it still won't charge. So I guess it's a hardware problem.
The phone was dropped once probably from 5 ft. to rough concrete(Im 6'1 btw).
I had a skinomi screen protector since I had this phone so the screen is fine.
It has some minor scratches around the phone but you can hardly see them.
The scratches in the pictures below is what's making ask this question.

I would like to know if AT&T would consider this physical damage? Don't want to send the phone and be charged because of this.
Also I have a Device support center in my area.
Should I replace it by phone or should I visit the support center?
Well, that one is pretty iffy. My experiences with AT&T is that if you take it to a support center, it really depends who happens to be working the desk. They could look at it and replace it, or tell you that it is too damaged and "abused" and you are basically out of luck. Over the phone may work a little better, because you could mitigate (or bend the truth, whichever phrasing you prefer) the amount of damage, and the call warranty centers *seem* to replace just about anything. So it's really up to you.
Also, did it stop charging before or after you dropped it? That one could matter. You could also lie ahem bend the truth.
I replaced my hard bricked Cappy yesterday at a customer support center, they looked at it for 2 minutes and then decided it was "dead". So if that's anything for you, take it or leave it.
I dropped it months before this problem started. Ill probably go tomorrow to the service center. If they can't replace it ill just hard brick it and replace it over the phone.
Thanks

I had the same issue with a return then got a case (body glove) dropped it several times aand no visible damage. At any rate I ended up having to do the return over the phone.
Edit: also, with the case on my phone has been thrown atleast 20ft down an asphalt road with no visible damage still. I didn't throw the phone by the way. Long story lol.

Ive been running stock for two weeks already. My power button was stuck and I couldnt get into download mode. Then one day it got unstuck and I didn't want to take any chances so I flashed stock. Stock is killing me lol
Thanks for your responses

Yeah, if you really want it replaced, I would go ahead and hard brick it. Just flash a bad bootloader and you're good xD. Isn't it scary that we know how to break these things better then we know how to fix them?
I couldnt replace it cause the usb cover is broken they said it voids the warranty.
Luckily I got the mobile insurance but now I have to pay $125 to replace it.
I'll make sure to take care of the replacement
Yea that's what I said. Accidents happen though and I use my phone way too much for these things not to happen. Get a case! Bodyglove ftw!

Christ. I'd hope the gorilla glass does its job and buy a protector for the rest of the phone going forward.
Today, I saw this under the touchscreen. It looks like some dust or air bubbles, which are under the touch area, situated directly above the Tegra 3 CPU so can it have something to do with the heat, which come from the cpu? The phone is 1 month old (bought 21/3/2013). I'm sending the phone to reclamation (and want new piece), but I'm afraid that this can happen again.
Have anyone same problem?

I found also topic about this problem on german LG forum, the topic have about 85 pages!!

i have the same issue, but only one bubble, and it was there the day i bought it. i was too lazy to wait for a replacer, so i just stuck with mine, since it's only visible if you're really looking for it.

I don't think they would have noticed if I had been a bit more careful. They use Philips head screws and no "VOID" stickers.
I actually kinda scratched the glass on the inside

Wow thats sucks guys, if any has or is gonna send it in with an unlocked bootloader i wonder if they will fix it. If any of these manufacturers would honor their warranties for non-software related issues with unlocked bootloaders id stick with them regardless.
I have the same problem, I am do not have official support from LG in my country
Someone has a tutorial in order to clean/remove this bubbles?
I have this too and i think that help only dissasemble to clean this bubbles

Normally in that hole there is a little socket, I'm pretty sure it is for testing purpose and it is not used normally. So nothing to worries about

look in controlpanel -> find device manager and see what it calls the phone when it is connected.
is screen always totally black after you have cleaned it and it was not black before you cleaned it ? if you took phone apart, something is not sitting correctly for sure. that should not be able to brick phone that way
well i tried dismembering it again an reattaching everything again to no avail. BLACK SCREEN.. i took a photo of the phone before doing any soft updates to it and i noticed now it said it was s-on, now i am a hd2 user and at that moment didn't realize.. so is it possible that it is bricked because it got flashed with a rom on a s-on mode? cause any other thing is that testing point that i am missing that was strangely connected with a small wire in the middle but it worked with that so... any repairman around or something like that ...help..please

Bro that looks bad
Don't worry flash back stock Rom and stock kernel and you can get it fixed in warranty after flashing stock kernel the Red thingy on Htc splash screen gets vanished ...Cause after Rooting warranty voids
from what i've heard mechanical damage isn't covered by the warranty as it is your fault.
i could be wrong so you should try it.
or you can go to a service to install a new screen. a new screen+digitizer costs about 19 euros (in my country) dont know how much the replacement itself costs

19 euros??!! that is cheap! i expected it to be something like 80 euros!
i don't need a brand new LCD because it is still fine i took my old desire c apart once and the LCD and digitizer weren't together! (it does suck i didn't keep that one :\)
I checked amazon, parts4cheap and other services they all sell if for a price of 12.49$ i didn't know the touch screen was this cheap!
Edit: the touch screen still fully works so I can keep using my phone till I decide to buy a new screen

Hi guys,
I bought my phone about 2 weeks ago. In the first week I noticed a problem in my phone; there's a missing area at the bottom of my LCD (below soft keys). The area shows some noises (something like the reflections of the pages I open with my phone, e.g. Settings menu, Walkman app, anywhere in my phone). Actually this problem is so annoying and I'm gonna send the phone back to the Sony (The phone has warranty). Here's my question; does Sony replace the phone? Or it just repairs it?!
Thanks in advance

Try one of the following:
1. Do a factory reset from the phone (Setting - Backup & reset)
2. Use the Sony flash tool and try a manual flash of your ROM
If the above does not work then you will have to take it the Service Guys. They will check the piece and then replace it if required. I had my phone replaced as I had camera issues in less than 2 weeks of my ownership post which I have not had any issues.

A few more things to mention:
* When I take a screenshot, everything is fine and the area below the soft keys isn't missing!
* At the first days, the missing area was appeared when phone was heaten a bit... But now (for about a week) the area is permanently missing!
It's much like hardware problem, I guess.

It's look like a line of dead pixels or LCD but in this case, if that is a Hardware problem you should see in that part of the screen problems in any conditions. Can you do a test, reboot your phone and look at the bottom of the screen where the line is, do you see something wrong?
If the LCD is dead but you take a screenshot logically the line is missing because is not recognize as the LCD is the problem.
I think you should send it to repair via Warranty, just to be sure.
BTW, you can also flash a Stock FTF from different region but for your model only, to check if it a system failure, using flashtool v.0.9.16 (it will not void your warranty).
My Z1 is broken after a major fall. It is outside the accident damage protection of six months but inside overall warranty. I get to understand that I will have to pay to get it replaced. Any idea on the price that I have to pay? If it makes sense I will get it replaced or else will buy a new one considering the price drop.
