acer s200 touch syntetizer (the clear plastic over the lcd)

Hi i have to change the touch panel due to a big scratch,anyone here know if i have to disassembly all the phone?Or else someone with a service manual?

My phone was out in the rain for a bit so my digitizer is all messed up. Only thing I can do is touch the bottons on bottom. Not much function in the touchscreen besides that. Have ordered a new digitizer and will hopefully get it by the weekend or next week. Can report back how it goes with the disassembly or have you already done yours? Please give a report on how to do it if that's the case.

I m still waiting for mine from hong kong.look s like someone else had changed the syntetizer in the forum,but i had no reply to my question

Ok. I guess we'll have to wait and see who gets his first. Whoever does though it would be nice with a report on how it went.

Hi i ve received the touch panel,but i tried to disassembly the phone,but i can not get the cover to open.I unscrewed the 5 screws on the rear but the cover is as strong as before.Have you ever tried to disassembly our phone?
And the touchscreen i received it s not the new one but the old engineering example,i think it s the same but i want to try the respone so i can give the seller the positive or negative feedback.The panel differ from the classic one for the acer logo on top right,not at the bottom center,and...there is the trasparent hole near the headphone for the front camera as you can see from this old sample picture

And this is mine

I read in the screen replacement forum. There are two more screws at the left and right sides of battery house.
Hope that helps. The guy in hongkong that sent me the digitizer sent it by registered air mail first but sent another one by EMS so hopefully i'll have it this week.

Ok i ve found the way by myself,it s not so difficult,i ve seen the two screws after...You have only to pay attenction to not force too much the plastics when you try to open the cover and when you try to detach the touch panel.The best way is to use a guitar plectrum and start to open from the bottom right,for the touch you have to go carefully.Now i ask in the forum if they need a guide with high res photos,because i ve taked pictures with my nokia n95

Well I would be really interested in seeing the pictures. Please do share. How's the new touchscreen working out ?

You can see my guide in the general section,maybe will be sticked.The panel is working good,but it seems a little less sensitive than the official oem one.Maybe the engineering sample is a little different.In plus the light from the touch keys is not diffused good,and i have an hole for the front camera,wich is not present in retail s200.But if you go to the guide you can see pictures

I have now changed my digitizer and thanks to your guide it went pretty smooth. Was done in about 10-15 mins. I got the oem one but the buttons on the bottom is diffuse as you said yours was. maybe i can move the white from the old one to make it nices. Probably won't bother though. Don't really find a difference in response from before the change.

Touch screen

I have the HTC One S 3uk version. Ive rooted and have super user access. The problem i have is when using the phone the bottom part of the screen were the menu button is stops responding (the part just above the home button) is there an update or fix for this thanxs.

Reverse it back to stock and if those buttons on touch screen are still unresponsive return the phone in order to get a new one, that's the only thing i can think of at the moment.

i had a post about this but no one responded i just have to lock my screen and when i unlock it again it's responsive . . it's really annoying cause the keypad i use the spacebars where the menu is and half the time i'm texting my space bar doesn't work cause of it and i'm unrooted on stock too so idk bro

im going to email htc and see what they say about it

Same problem here on a European version. The 3 buttons at the bottom freeze, my workaround is locking/unlocking.
It seems like one of the buttons decide to stay depressed, as on one occasion, after locking the phone, I discovered half a dozen of screen captures (Power + Home)
I had the problem before and after rooting the phone, don't have a clue of what triggers it.

here is a screen shot of the affected area and i will let you know what htc have said once i hear from them

Hello,
thanks for linking PulpZillas Thread. I wish to encourage anyone with symptoms like screenshots on SD and randomly misbehaving buttons, unresponsive buttons etc. to check that thread ExDr linked too. That problem has a name but many people seem to have difficulties to identify it and thus find the right thread to post to.

I had it once. Reboot and its gone. All is ok for now since last wednesday morning. It comes after rooting and unlocking bootloader.

Yeah, found it after posting, sorry for that.
I'm in China, bought the phone here only to discover last week it's a development model, so my complaint report will be immediately voided by HTC.
Will try anyway, just to be one voice stronger ;-)

[Q] Capacitive button light not working..fixable?

Hey guys, I was wondering what my options are at this point. One of the lights has stopped working...the button still works though. Will Costco/ATT replace the phone? I'm almost positive they will but does anyone know how long they take? I cant be without a phone for more than a day.

Yes they will replace it. This was seen on some of the first ones that came out. Just ask if they will just trade you a new one on the spot and make sure they let you turn it on to check for any other hardware defects.
Edit: this is assuming your hardware warranty is intact

Yes it is. Thanks! But I doubt they will give me a NEW one. Its been over 3 months.

Same thing happened to my AT&T HOX, It was working normaly then suddenly the recent apps light stopped, the button works perfectly tho...
I did factory reset, cache and davlink cache erase, changed rom and tried almost everything, the light started working again but dimmer, not as bright as home or back...
Today the home key backlight stopped working too (its like a virus spreading) and i got them to work after every reebot and when I answer a call but again, both backlights are dimmer than the original...
What did they say? could you replace the phone? Im still thinking its a software issue rather than hardware... maybe Im wrong!
Please if you find someway to fix it let me know! I will do so too!
Good luck!

No it was a hardware issue. Well at least that's what Costco said. I also factory resetted RUU'd and all that . They are amazing! After 90 days they still gave me a new one no questions asked!
EDIT: If your out of warranty (It hasn't been a year since the phone came out so that's not even possible but oh well) you can take the back off the phone and press the LED panel under the buttons down firmly and they start working again! I tried this on my new one (I know..i'm stupid )

My power button stopped working - Man is this ever a challenge

This is a bit of a rant topic.
My phone case is one of those hard, yet bendy plastic cases.
Simple. $10 bucks. i think i grabbed it from a kiosk in a mall.
The case is a tight seal around my phone - as expected
however, through my 12 months of playing with the phone, taking the case on and off, hard reboots etc, my power button is officially unusable.
The button itself is stuck in the phone. it's as if it pressed it down and it never came back up.
This makes life with my One X very difficult.
turning the screen on and off is difficult. it's now extremely sensitive. just brushing the tip of my finger over the top of the phone turns the screen on and off multiple times.
I can't press and hold the button to bring up the reboot menu - although it does work sometimes (seems like the lower the phone's temp, the more likely it works)
Just makes life difficult. Sometimes a ROM needs a nice reboot, and it's near impossible for me to do so!
I've resorted to opening up a command line and giving it the ol' reboot command, but goddamn!
Im now officially waiting on the Nexus 5
Anyone else with similar experiences?

It's almost definitely caused by the cheap case you put on the phone. For rebooting, you could use an app called Quick Boot, it's a simple app which has options for rebooting (system/bootloader/recovery/power off).

Touchscreen problem

Everytime I register 2 touch points on my screen especially when I do rapid typing the screen creates a line. I have screen shot but idk how to post it here. This problem is very annoying because I cannot type fast, it creates a problem with games and other function whenever I register 2 touch points. I also went back to the shop to isolate if the problem is just with my phone. The other phones also does this. You guys might want to try going to service menu *#*#7378423#*#* Then go to service test> touch screen, then try to rapidly tap both edges of your screen if it registers a line.

Does anyone have the same problem? I restored fctory 5 times already. Still the same. It's annoying. It's the first time I encountered this problem from all android phones I used from low end to high end.

no problem in mine

I have the same problem. However, it only registers a line if I tap at left and right edge fast and rapidly (almost simultaneous). It also happen in tapping at random position (e.g center) but not as often as tapping both edges. I have the problem of typing the keyboard too, which seems related.
Upgraded to newest firmware 16.0.B.2.1.3 but the problem persists.
Here's screenshots. Tapping at left-right edge rapidly vs center (see the dot differences)

my problems persist while fast typing, sometimes the letter doesn't appear...

Same problem :/

I have Sony xperia c and the touch pad is not working. Please guys help me fast. All hard keys are fine. Only I can't touch the screen means screen is not responding to my touch. Plz reply ASAP.

I used to have this problem too. Pressing two points close to each other will only register one touch and a discoloured point on the screen appeared, noticeable on white backgrounds. I sent it to Sony since it was under warranty, they told me they replaced the screen but the problem is still there, except the discolouration thing. Not worth escalating I think
