A month ago I broke the outer and inner screen I ordered on eBay
I installed it and since I have a line on a screen in the upper part of the touch screen that it does not work
There is a picture but the touch is not working
I installed a few times then the problem is not with the installation
There is a possibility that I need to install the Rom again or that can not be it software problem?

in my opinion there´s something wrong with the conector besides the lcd screen.
Never ever had a problem with a rom that involving the touch function
So according to you the problem is in the internal screen in the LCD?
AW: The touch screen does not work?

well bud I'm no mechanic but i think so. it's because no Rom changes the touch driver. and when it's completely not working not partial. besides i read about this problem after changing the screen often in eBay

You think it's the LCD or external screen?
I can say that it's the sealing rubber's fault out of bad experience, because I replaced my screen myself recently.
After first ordering a replacement screen and installing it properly my whole upper half of the touch did not work. A second time a smaller fragment did not work.
After googling it, I found out that the sealing rubber around is very important, however even though getting a rep. screen is no problem at all, getting the rubber was impossible on ebay or on any local shop. (Why is no one offering these?)
So I ended up buying the thinnest double sided tape I could get and everything works fine now. It's extremely fumbly though and takes some steady hands Use a knife and not scissors to cut the tape.

Hey guys
So i cracked my touch digitizer and decided to chance it myself.
I have taken some pictures of the phone disassembled.
So if anyone is curoius to see the inside of their phone, here it is...
If there is something you want a closer look of, just tell me and i will take a picture.
I haven't put it back together yet, cause i didn't know you needed some special tape to mount the digitizer...
Pretty neat. I rember taking my Nexus One apart. I got the digitizer and screen together. Didn't want to deal with the tape/glue aspect.

Great job!
I was in the same shoe as you. Mine was a badly cracked LCD while the touch screen didn't even have a single scratch. Don't ask how I did it
Dismantling the LCD and the touch screen assembly was the toughest part. Seems like all newer and slimmer phones are using glue to fix their parts together. A nightmare for DIY.
I used normal double sided tape to put mine back together. Seems to be holding well so far. However, I am still looking around for better alternatives. Let me know if you find one!
I love my INCS!
could you make close-up pics from the bottom leds that are being used?
im actually thinking of replacing them for blue or orange
Was it hard to do because I have some dust under my screen and maybe give it a try.
How did you manage to crack the gorilla glass??

Yeah, i'm gonna try to replace my digitizer as well, i'm kinda scared to pull the screen & digitizer apart... I've read that you can heat it up using a hairdryer and that the glue will get loose, but i'm not sure if i have the guts to heat my screen up
So how did you manage to get the screen off?
Don't think it is worth the effort and risk to just get rid of a few dust particles.

Guys, using a hairdryer f***s the phone up. You don' need lot of time to overheat any metal parts and circuits and stuff break...
You think it isnt that hot, but works the same way like when u are in the sauna and your necklace burns your neck when it hangs apart from your body for a couple of seconds.

I'm afraid i cant to that. I'm afraid of braking it when removing the tape wich is on it. The button "display" is 0,5 mm thick or so. Im not even sure it is possible to replace them.

Dont do it just to remove some dust. Not worth the risk. Its not that easy to take it off.

After removing everything on the back i was able to push at the back of the screen in the top of the phone, and then get a little plastick tool in and pulled it of.
Its quite hard to pull off but the glass was already cracked so i just pulled a bit hard.
I was a little bit more carefull with the LCD. Its also quite hard to remove. Just took my chances and hoped the glue would give in before the LCD craced
Cool story bro, I always wanted to know what's inside!
Can you post a high res picture of just the mother board particularly the NAND flash of possible

What did you use to glue the digitizer back on? I broke mine and waiting for new digitizer and housing to come in. But i have no idea what is used to glue it back on. Also wondering if the digitizer gets glued back onto the lcd or onto the housing or both? Thanks guys!

Hey
I answered in the other thread

I've only had my unit a day and decided to give it a quick clean to remove the finger prints using nothing more that breathing on it and a spectacle cloth. Whilst doing this I found what at first appeared to be 2 finger prints on the left edge of the screen which did not appear to be coming off. I then tried a damp cloth followed by glasses cleaner and then a dab of washing up liquid. None of which seem to have any affect. The strange thing is that you cannot feel them or hardly see them after cleaning but as soon as you run your finger over them the grease from your finger makes them visible like a finger print. Also running a damp cloth over them makes them visible until the moisture evaporates and then they are gone. I have been incredibly careful and know I could not have caused them but was wondering if anyone else has this issue or how I can remove these marks without causing damage as my unit is perfect except for a tiny bit of screen lift which doesn't really bother me.
My Nexus also has a issue like this, but it's like a big smear near the top or the screen. I am 100% sure that I never dropped anything on it
It looks like a big fingerprint mark, but it won't come off.. like your issue
Luckily I'm getting it replaced anyway as the screen lift issue has returned, but I still would have got a replacement anyway due to this new issue.
Sounds like a problem with the anti-finger print coating that's normally used on phone/tablet screens.
I don't think you'll be able to fix it, if you obsess over it and keep trying to clean it off chances are you'll make it worse. Either get over it or exchange it.
Perhaps it's a fingerprint on the underside of the glass. I'm not sure. Hard to tell without pics.
Maybe a screen protector will cover this up. Can you feel it when you run your fingers over it?

Nah it is on top of the screen, you can sorta feel it - it is slippier than the rest of the screen. If I breath on it you can see that it is not affected whereas the rest of the screen goes grey.
I am really careful with plastic screens, but this one is glass. I squirt some Windex on a tissue and use that. Works great - but use at your own risk. Ops problem sounds like a bit of silicone on the glass. Use an appropriate solvent. Squirt nothing at the tablet - use a slightly moist tissue.

I would love for the issue to be silicone but I cannot see where that would have come from.
Unfortunately the most likely option seems to be the coating
So I guess it's time for a return.
Given that I bought it from Tesco Direct is it better to contact Google or deal with Tesco

I also bought mine from Tesco Direct, phoned them up and then sent me a replacement the next day! (this was for the first replacement)
The replacement they sent me now has the screen lift and this screen issue. I phoned them and they said they are out of stock atm, but when it's in stock they will send me another replacement - they also gave me a £20 refund! :laugh:
i have same issue
i applied a sceen protector, had no choice, but no more fingerprint
I called Tesco, replacement will be in store tommorrow
Hey everyone.
A few months ago I dropped my phone for the first time. It turned out that the screen had gotten a large crack down through the middle, running all the way from the top to the bottom. I tried using it, and the touch capabilities didn't seem to be affected, so basically it was just cosmetic at first.
But this afternoon, after having used it lightly since morning without issues, the phone suddenly started responding weird to touch. Whenever I touch the screen, it registers touches all over the screen, and I'm not even able to dial in my pin code after rebooting.
Does anyone have an idea what might have happened, what is broken, and how much it will set me back to fix it?
BTW, the phone arrived with a red pixel, I noticed it once when booting up, but thought it was just a bug or something. Later I found out that is actually a fault with the phone, and most companies have dead pixel policies, I'm wondering, is it possible to return the phone for a new because of the red pixel?
Thank you for your time.
I think it will be a little hard to prove that dead pixel after being cracked. If you have some skills, you can change it yourself, its not very hard and you can find the screen on the internet.

That does sound good, but aren't the glass (The outermost layer) and the touchscreen two different things entirely?
Thank you.
Well what do you know, it started working again! Well, atleast for now.
Thanks for the advice

...I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's the huge crack down the middle of the screen? :good:
Seriously, though.. capacitive touch-screens measure changes in the resistance across a thin layer on top of the glass. So if you bend it somehow, or damage it (say, stretch it because the glass underneath cracks), then the resistance won't be picked up, or it will be registered inaccurately. So it might work for a while, or work reasonably well. Know a guy who smashed his iPhone.. sat on it, actually.. and it worked with "cracked" glass (that was held together by the layer on top of the glass, right) until he bought another iPhone. *shrug* He talked about it a lot, but it didn't seem to really make a difference on the actual phone.

what should i do ?
Buy digitizer for 40 dlls because it was only the digitizer that broke i can still use the Touch of my screen and use the pen
or buy the complete package for 250 dlls ?
Buy the digitizer, plastic pry tools, and some double stick tape. I dont know what you mean by the full package. Goodluck to you

IF your digitizer broke then your touch screen would not be working... if your screen still works then your digitizer is fine...

The digitzer is a film on the back of the glass, if the glass breaks you need to replace it along with the glass.
Anyone else confused?
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
Just a warning, replacing the digitizer/glass alone is going to be fairly difficult for anyone who isn't experienced in phone repairs. It is glued to the LCD and it is extremely easy to break things during the process.
Here is a video (although a bit long) on the process.
I broke my LCD screen as well. Sent to the Samsung service center to have it replaced and cost me $260 including the silver frame.
I managed to find a gnote II with a bad esn for $70 on Craigslist. Scooped it up for the parts, even though it's a fully functioning tablet now.
The digitizer is what u touch. It can shatter and still work.they are cheap. The lcd screen is what u see. Expensive but probably fine. Ive done a couple go slow and its no big deal watch a youtube vid

Hi all. I've had my droid turbo for about a month and just before my case arrived for the poor thing it fell out of my pocket. The screen is perfectly fine and so is most of the phone except one of my corners is pretty gnarled up. Nothing affecting it structurally it is just a dent. I wanted to see if anybody had experience with the extremely vague Screen Assurance Program as it says that "Any damage that also includes a cracked housing, missing glass fragments or other significant structural damage" will make it so you could not get your screen replaced. Since it is only a small dent and none of the previously mentioned should I be fine if i need a replacement screen in the future?

It's the scrape right there. Other than that the phone is fine. Just want to know if this excludes me from getting a replacement screen down the line if I need it.

I think that wont exclude u from getting a screen replacement. Its a guarentee for 1 year to change the screen for u.
I think that'll be fine, but you may consult with them for sure.
