I had to retire my D4 for a couple months because the touch screen stopped working and I needed a working business phone. I finally got around to ordering a new screen/digitizer and put that on (the old one wasn't broken, but for $10 I thought I would good it a shot). The new screen is still no improvement. Has anybody had the touch screen quit on them and then found a successful fix? Rotation is fine. Has to be hardware in my opinion since twrp won't respond to touch either.

Good question. I have a similar problem.
I dropped my Droid 4 and shattered the touch screen. I ordered and replaced the touch screen and it worked fine. Unfortunately my OCD kicked in and I decided to tear it apart and buff out minor scratches under the screen (stupid). After putting it back together, only the top half of the touch screen responds. I assume I ruined the digitizer once again by using a buffer on it, but just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be the LCD screen itself I may have ruined.
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Has this happened to anyone before? it was in my pocket and cracked because my chapstick got stuck between my thigh and the screen
Does anyone know how i can fix this? Im not too great at taking apart things on my own (I need a how to guide ). The touch screen isnt responding properly either (100% inaccurate).
I feel like an idiot since i only got this phone 3 months ago
It's not your fault. The Kaiser screen is a piece of trash. Mine broke some 3 months after purchase too.
You can buy a replacement lcd-screen/touchscreen here:

Cool, and theres instructions on the website.
Looks like im set. Thanks!!
Hi there.
My Nexus S screen broke up and ill be thinking is that possible to replace?
The screen is fine but the glass went broken.
Where I can get new frontcover/glass or do I have to get whole screen at all
(screen and frontcover)
the exact thing happened to me just minutes ago, infact thats why I came here. I know they can be replaced, I've found a few options with a quick google search, now just seeing how cheap I can get the parts
They can definitely be replaced, the problem's just that many of the replacements don't work (or don't work with a specific batch of phones, I haven't actually gotten to the bottom of the problem yet). A friend of mine broke his screen too, so I ordered a replacement and when it arrived, the LCD worked but there was no touch recognition. I had it replaced, and the replacement assembly had the exact same problem. The seller told me there were 2 versions of the i9023 screen which are incompatible with each other and that he had sent me the right version the second time, but I don't know how much is to that as it didn't work... Here's the thread in which the issue is covered:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063148
A few nights ago during the Rangers/Devils game (LGR!) I was texting my friend when all of a sudden, my screen starts going wonky. Okay, turn screen off and on again. From that moment forth, the screen does not respond to any touch. If I carefully slide the phone out ever so slightly, I can get it to wonk out, but it still doesn't respond to touch.
How difficult is it to switch out the digitizer of the Droid 3? I'm back on my Droid 2 Global (which honestly, I kinda like more ) but it's got a shattered screen, hardly usable.
Thanks!
its not too hard if you know what your doing. I have done a few D3s with the same issue. Its usually the lcd flex cable that goes. There are basic guides online if you look

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.
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.

You talk about the external screen right? Not about the LCD?
