Adhesive for replacing digitizer?

Hey guys, I'm attempting to replace my digitizer for the second time after my first attempt ended up with a digitizer which was a distinctly different shape than the original and therefore looks terrible! Anyhow I'm looking for a decent adhesive to keep it in place. Would pretty much anything do or does anyone have a preference?
Cheers!

Here is the stuff I used, working great so far.. Not sure where you could get it (maybe frys or something) (I grabbed some from work).. its thin, double sided, super sticky once it sets, and made by 3M.. I just cut it into very thin strips using a ruler and exacto blade.. If you have trouble finding some, I have enough leftover that I could mail you to get the job done..

also, i used a couple drops of super glue on the top portion (where there is a decent amount of plastic surface area)..

Cheers, that looks pretty perfect, didn't even know that was available! I'm in the UK but thanks for offering I should hopefully be able to find some locally, thanks again.

if you cant find it locally try amazon or:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2mm-3M-Adhesive...391482?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aa6a4b2fa
another thing, something that is probably more "locally available" would be to buy the 3M digitizer tape for an iphone, and cut it up into the 4 strips you'll need

I used some of the loctite superglue gel. Very very thin layer of it and it worked great, I didn't like how the original digitizer sat flush with the frame of the phone, after using the superglue the digitizer is slightly below the frame so it the phone was dropped face down the frame would hit the ground first hopefully saving the screen

I made sure it wasn't the foam kind and it's double sided so should hopefully do the job nicely. Fingers crossed

Yeah I'm going with a combo of the tape and superglue, just because I don't trust myself to be delicate with superglue down the sides
I'll have to post some pics of the before and after, just to give a sense of how crap the first replacement was. It's so poor I'm using a full body case to keep the digitizer held in! It also lacks the bottom buttons and is the incorrect size (Around 1cm in total, top and bottom) compared to the original digitizer. It's gonna be a nice day when it's back to tip top condition

Cheers buddies! very useful stuff

Anyone happen to know where I can pick up the thick foamy type adhesive? Some of it is torn around edges & want to fill in the gaps with something better than 4 layers of the thin 3m stuff. I might try tiny strips of electrical tape in those spots, but would rather proper real thing.

CLEAR Hard Snap-On Case Cover for G2

NOTE: I know there's some discussion about this specific case in another thread here, but since there were other cases discussed in that thread I thought it would be best to create a dedicated thread for it.
I recently purchased/received this from luxurycellwireless, and after using the HTC Hard Shell Case (OEM) for about a month I'd have to say I'm very impressed with this clear plastic one. It fits the G2 nicely, almost to the point where I'm going to be nervous when I have to remove it from the phone. Hopefully I won't have to take it off anytime soon, but for the price of $3 shipped how could anyone go wrong with this. I almost think this is a better case than the HTC one, as that already broke on me after a month's use. However, after only using this one for a few hours there are already light scratches on it. I don't care about that, because it's purpose is to protect my phone. I'm considering buying another one or two of these to keep on hand, in the event that this one breaks on me. It's that good. My only concern now is how much dust is going to get trapped under it, hopefully not enough to warrant a dismantling & cleaning. If you're looking for a case, go get yourself one of these. You won't be disappointed.
Here's 18 photos I took of the case protecting my G2 for your viewing pleasure - https://picasaweb.google.com/dustrho/CLEARHardSnapOnCaseCoverForG2#

Wow, no replies.
Thinking about buying a couple more of these, as I love this case. It's easily the best one I've purchased so far for my G2. Sure, there are some scratches on the back of it now, but what do you expect for something that's clear and made out of cheap plastic? The one thing I really enjoy about this case, is that it seems to have fixed my "screen wobbling" issue (no more!).
If you need a case for your G2, this is the one.

Looks good. I found a softish one

does it obstruct the top row keyboard by a tiny bit? my fingers are big so it is important to me that it doesn't

Had that case before my current black one, liked it a lot, but with 1 problem. After a week or so of being in your pocket it collects dust and lint under the case and it looks dirty lol so I would take it off and clean it like every week then finally the little hinges that hold it on broke other then that it did the job.

No, it doesn't interfere with the top row of buttons on the physical keyboard. That top piece has a cutout so it sits flush. You can see it in the picture below...

Thanks OP I got mine in the mail yesterday and I really like it.

You're welcome.
I had to take the case off the other day to do a battery pull (bad ROM flashing put me in a boot loop), and I have to say it was pretty easy getting it off. Nowhere near as difficult as the HTC OEM hard shell case or the cheap black one that was on sale at Amazon. So, I'm glad I got this case, and just need to order myself a couple extra for backup purposes.

I got one last week it looks like that one but is black and has a soft feel to it.

thanks for the TIP! this is a great case.

Gorilla glass - Do you have any screen scratches yet?

For the people with the sensation already - Do you have any scratches yet?

Hi,
No, not even a scuff. I do use my HD2 pouch though.

He probably means this one -- I have one which came with my HTC Leo and I notice my brother has an identical one with his HD2. The annoying this is my Galaxy SII sticks about 5mm out the top.

Hi Pagnell,
Thanks for that, yes thats the one. I've edited my post with a link in it too.
Nice to see someone else who had a Philips Diga. My god times have changed since having 1 line of scrolling SMS text!

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm gonna try to order one of those.
I see this one on amazon in USA. HD2 pouch.

I use the one from my old HD2 as well, funnily enough. I also have one of those belt pouches that the phone slides into and the top folds over it from my HD2 and of course it fits perfectly, ideal for going out with this size of phone and not wanted to bend it (as I once did with my HD2 and was terrified when the screen went mental...but it corrected itself).
The HD2 stuff fits well on these which is handy because there's precious little around right now that does, like a Brodit car cradle? Can't get them yet and I dont want one of the cheap generic ones that drops the phone when you go over a speed ramp.

The very top of the Sensation shows in this pounch but thats handy because the LED's then show. No need to remove it to check for messages

I have a SGS Vibrant for almost a year now, there might be one TINY scratch that I can see if I turn the screen off and tilt it into the light just right... aka doesn't matter...
Yesterday to prove gorilla glass to a friend who is a bit behind in the times I took a knife and tried to scratch part of the border of the screen to no avail.
The stuff still breaks ok though. Had to have one phone replaced because it slipped out of my hand onto a tile floor screen down. But scratching is difficult at the minimum.

anyone know if the rubber case that came with the HD2 will work on the sensation?

Do I need to replace entire LCD or just glass for cracked screen?

So I dropped my phone pretty hard and even with a trident case on the glass cracked. Do I need a whole LCD replacement like this http://www.directfix.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=GHT&Product_Code=XX2547 or can I get the glass only http://www.directfix.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=GHT&Product_Code=XX2543

You can just replace the glass instead of the whole amoled screen, However ive seen reports on here saying that it is extremely difficult to just replace the glass as the screen and digitizer are fused together.
If you can find a good how to guide and maybe a video it would be worth trying as it would save you a lot of money, That being said get it wrong and you will need to replace the whole screen and glass, which would cost a lot more.
Either way, I hope you get it fixed !!

Yea I agree with him but if the digitizer still works on your phone then just get the glass when its available and hope that that works bcuz if its the screen and the digitizer then man that's gonna be a lot of money gone on just the screen
But yea which ever way you choose I hope you get it fixed...

If your digitizer isn't affected then its just the screen but I wouldn't be too sure tho, I mean from the picture it looks like you can use it pretty good
Sent from HTC one s

I think the digitizer is integrated into the display in SAMOLED screens to reduce thickness and air gap between display and glass, and not in the glass cover as in old AMOLEDs like the Desire or Nexus One.
Check this One S teardown/display swap video, seems like the display+digitizer+gorilla glass is one part. Easier to replace but not cheap, directfix wants 169 USD for it. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=/watch?v=b0jGY2N2h1U&v=b0jGY2N2h1U&gl=SE
On a side note the battery is also replaceable and not soldered on so hopefully batteries will pop up on eBay soon enough.

OOUCH! I'm sorry this happened. I only have a slim case. Good thing I don't do anything extreme.

Custom Holster For Honor X2 and TPU Case

Heres my latest creation with a thift store find (I don't know what the black thing was made for but it was almost the same size as the phone and it was $.78), a needle and thread, and a laptop bag strap to make the holster. I'm going to stetch one more piece at bottom on both sides.

Nice ... looks professional and very usable. Better then the one they sell on amazon. Nice job. Next step mass production for all the other X2 owners

That's my dream. Phablet holsters. Only one out and it is not stylish.

Looks nicely done! I will usually carry mine in a waist pouch but that's obviously only viable during the weekends. Fortunately the X2 still fits in my pant's back pocket (when I'm walking) and the front pocket (when I needed to sit down).

I bought one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7MFAKU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
Its a bit of a tight fit when you first get it, but it really only needs an extra millimeter or two of width to make it perfect. I took mine to my local shoe repair guy who stretched it for me, and now it's perfect! It's a great case too. The fact that it can swivel and come off the belt clip has turned out to be really important since the phone is so big.

Well, It's pretty tight, but it loosens up with use, and you could probably get a tpu on in it if you stretch it a bit more.

I'll give it a shot. I like having backups for everything in my arsenal for the phone just incase something breaks. I bought a lcd screen and keeping it on the shelf in the event I break it. $56.00 dollars for it on aliexpress, you can't go wrong for the phone for that price. I'd rather fix it myself, then send it back to china and wait 2-3 months or get it back at all.
