[Q] Incredible S touchscreen problem. - HTC Incredible S

For the past 2 weeks there is a big line of my screen at the bottom of my screen that is completely unresponsive. For example, I use the android revolution sense 3.0 ROM by mike1996, and I can barely unlock the phone because the ring is exactly in that spot, although it works after many tries. Typing is a pain in the a** unless in landscape. Anyone had this problem or a solution on how to fix it?

you have to replace the digitizer of your phone,
i used to have this issue on my GF incS and she got sick of it the way it became and bough the oneX, then i replaced the digitizer myself and got an extra working phone

It works!

Thank you!
After replacing the digitizer, even though it was very complicated, my touch screen works like a charm! Let's hope it remains that way.
If anyone has this problem, replace the digitizer.

Replacement LCD

Hi everyone,
I replaced my LCD screen and digitizer at the weekend and am now having a few problems. The battery is draining really quickly, in about 30mins. Could this be due to a non oem screen or something? (got mine off ebay)
I am also having a few issues with the power button, there was a small amount of tape in place but im unsure if this should go below the switch or above. To prevent the circuit board switch from shorting or something?
Any help appreciated.
how much did you paid for digitizer?
well I got an LCD with digitizer attached for $43
I'm needing the same, how difficult was it to put back together,
taking it apart isnt a problem but theres that many parts I'm not sure if I could put it back together correctly
Can you tell me how many different variants of the LCD are used in the Diamond? or there is just ONE LCD w/ digitizer..? And from where can I get them for a good price?
Well to be honest, I have only had problems since I changed mine and the phone is now unusable. Its quite easy to put back together, but it seems really easy to create shorts that cause problems and I think the quality of the LCD I bought is far below that of standard and is using lots of power.
Have ordered another screen from somewhere else and will try that but think I will get a leo next week as then im due an upgrade
Would still appreciate some help with my original questions?
I bought on ebay both/LCD+touch screen/. Price is fine 36US dollars. When you buy only on of this you have problem with right connection between LCD and touch screen. Picture have little contrast but not tragically. Battery draining is same. Touch screen is more sensitive than original.
changed lcd and gps doesnt work

Maybe is problem with correct connect gps antenna to connector on board.
To update this I bought a new screen with digitizer from a US company and replaced the board that connects to the microphone and now more Diamond is as good as new.
Screen is as original and excellent quality

Hi,
screen is original.
what happened was, i enabled win mobile autolock, and then i kinda had a fit. It was turning the screen on and off for about 1 second each time, i thought it would stop so i waited about 40 seconds, then hit the reset button.
when the phone reset it still had an "imprint" of the windows mobile lock screen on the screen, as if it had "burnt" all the white areas onto the screen.
I tryed to screenshot it, but it didnt show in a screenshot so i presumed the screen was wrecked.
I have left my phone without battery overnight and it SEEMS to have sorted itself out, but im not sure!
Thanks in advance

Thought this was fixed but the battery drainage is still huge. The phone is now constantly hot, so have stopped using it. I have dismantled the phone countless times now as I thought there may be a short circuit but with no fix.
When I posted originally the battery was on 85% after 4 hours but then the next time I turned the screen on it was on 1%.
Its annoying as I loved my Diamond but now I just feel angry when I see it on my desk. Using an old moto flip phone at the moment which I hate, untill some shops get the leo back in stock. Tempted by the n900 also, any thoughts?
Hi,
I will change my Diamond's screen. Did you buy it online? If so, would you please send a link of the LCD w/ Digitizer that you bought. Thanks in advance

[Q] Power button (solved)

Hi, anyone face issue with power button where it got no response at all when click on it? Any idea how to fix it? Thanks..

Never had this issue, looks like a hardware issue. Did you drop your phone, or did it get something sticky/greasy on it?
The button itself is fairly well protected, so you do need to really push it, since it's slightly inside the case, unlike most other power buttons, which are level with the rest of the case, or even slightly raised.

[Q] Touch screen not responding in the middle

My Incredible S has a touch screen fault. There is a area in the middle of the screen that does not respond to touch - see attachment.
I have fitted a new digitizer screen thinking that would cure the fault, but unfortunately the problem still remains.
Does anyone know what causes this and is there a solution?

Thank you prunzzz for your response. I was wondering if replacing the lcd/digitizer assembly was the answer and now you have confirmed it I will go ahead and order one. :good:

Hello!
I am having the exact same issue (middle portion of touch-screen not working - horizontally) I was looking for a solution, and found your helpful post. Thanks added, can you please tell me what all did you replace? Just the digitizer?

I am sorry if its a silly question

[Q] Touch doesn't work on top quarter inch of screen

Strange problem that just materialized today. I can no longer "touch" the top quarter inch of my screen. Meaning that it is non-responsive to touch. I have to flip my screen around to tap anything on that part of the screen, which works most of the time, but some apps don't auto-rotate.
I have searched and searched but I can't find any troubleshooting tips relating to this specific problem. Has anyone else encountered this before, and if so, do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Have you seen this problem before?
I haven't flashed my device in over a year and to be honest I don't quite remember how.
If re-flashing was the only solution, I would do it, but want to have some degree of certainty in advance. I'm not even 100% certain what ROM I currently have flashed on my tab. I think it is AOKP vzw v27.

I am having the exact same problem with a Galaxy S4. I reflashed the stock ROM in Odin and still have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

A friend had the same problem with a HTC and solved changing the digitizer screen. Is not too expensive ... You can find it on Ebay easily and if you don't know how to change it there are tutorials an shops everywhere...
Other people the touch does not work completely for having wet the device...
Surely it's a problem with the digitizer. Replace the digitizer.. Falls or hits would have caused this..

Unfortunately for the S4 the digitizer isn't a separate part of the display. The gorilla glass, digitizer, and lcd are all glued together. The whole assembly is still around $200.

[Q] Unable to swipe down the statusbar

I've been having problems with the sensitivity of the top 2mm of my phone's screen. I don't remember when it started but I think it was around a couple of months ago.
Before, it was only difficult for me to swipe the notification bar down, but now, I can no longer swipe it down unless I rotate the screen.
I don't remember how or exactly when it started, but I remember that I was using ARHD 70.0, then I updated to 71.1 in attempt to fix it, but it only worked for a while but it came back again. I also tried other roms such as MaximusHD and Eragon but still the same. I also tried rebooting to safe mode but still the same. I also used both stock and elemental sense kernels.
I updated my firmware back then to 6.06 and now to 6.07 but still nothing. I haven't tried downgrading yet though.
I tried using the line draw test and the result is found below.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I already searched xda and google but i found no solution to my problem.
It could be a hardware related issue. If it's still under warranty revert it to stock and re-lock the bootloader and just send it back.

Has your device been dropped or been water damaged? The digitizer connection from the mb could have became a bit loose.
*Edit*
I have read on a forum for the HTC One X which seems to have a similar issue to yours where a part of the screen is unresponsive. Someone suggested to clean the connector.

I dropped it a few times while in a case and only around a feet at most. It never been water damaged, hopefully never will.
I see, I'll look for it there, though I'm not sure how to clean the connector. Thanks!

I did some more research about it and people are saying it is a digitizer issue. So replacing the digitizer should fix it, but you will need to buy the lcd and digitizer together as its nearly impossible to replace them separate from eachother.

It's definitely a hardware issue. I have been dealing with the same issue for about 6 months now. When I try to swipe down to bring up the notification bar I get absolutely no feedback . If I give it a smack with my palm near the top corners I can often times get it to start working again. However, it's usually short lived.

I see. Thank you very much for the help. I think I'll just send this to the service center when I get the chance. I will probably ask them to fix the red tinted camera as well. I just hope it won't be too expensive.
You have a dead spot. Sorry kid. If updating the OS still gives you the funk, you need a new screen.

You could do it yourself and save a bit of money if you know what your doing. There are tutorials on YouTube.
Alright, the weird thing is, it started working again :| i didn't do aything :|
