Hi all,
how to do?
I saw a lot of pictures surfing the web about htc touch pro dismantling but I can't understand how to dismantle touch screen.
Is it glued on lcd?
Is there a guide?
Some1 said you cant remove the touch screen without breaking it or you have to have skills . So it is best that you get the lcd and touch screen together and replace the whole screen. I also need to change my display because of the amount of scratches, but I got the anti glare screen protector and you cant even see the scratches anymore.It still bugs me that I now that if I take the screen protector off I would want to change the screen so I leave it on until I can sell the phone. And when I get a new phone the Zagg IS is gonna be applied asap
In my past job I built many system with touch screens and touch panel was glued on the lcd panel.
Many times there weren't glue but only a biadesive film and sometimes I were able to dismantle the panel.
I don't really know if on tpro there is a biadesive film or simply glue.
I can agree with you but touch panel costs 20€ and lcd+tpanel cost 100€!!!

Okay guys first of all i know all the benefits to a screen protector, but on my old iPhone that didnt have a screen protector and the screen was fine, no scratches etc etc.... I was wondering do we really, really need a protector on the diamond? As im sure that without it it would be much smoother to use?
I applied my screen protector as soon as I unboxed my phone however was wondering of the opinions of people that a) didnt and b) took their protectors off and used the device.
Does the screen 'feel' any different without it?
Please post in the right section (Diamond accessories).
Screen protectors are advised, 'cause you reduce the risk of damage to the screen itself (which will be expensive to replace). It will dull the sensitivity slightly (although less than on the iPhone screens as they use different technology.)
HI

Diamond has resistive touch screen, iPhone has capacitive.
That means the iPhone can have a solid (glass) front to the screen.

Use the sticky side of a piece of tape to remove the old screenprotector.
That's the way the pro's are doing it. Use the same sticky tape to pick up small residue on screen before applying the new one.
I have PDA's more 10 years not the first but i still keep my old casio e-105 and since that a lot of them ...
For me it was all a big worry the screen scratches and so every pda had screen protector kit and i tried allot of them different brands different textures, glued , fitted etc...
Right now i look back on my desk and see a bunch of PDA all of them with beautiful screens none with scratches.. BUT.... BUT... I'm more happy to have 9 year old pda without scratches ??? don't think so....
I don't think i will be worst if one them had a screen scratch vs the issues a screen protector have, less sensitive worst view of screen etc...
In diamond is even worst because the screen don't have borders to fit the protection, so will add one more layer on top.......
Even if i have mixed feelings about it i will keep my diamond without screen protector...
maybe next year when i buy the new "whatsoever model" and put this on the shelf i will say damn scratch on the screen but so what.... its on shelf and the time i had keep it, i use that screen at full no lame plastics on top...
just a thought....
But the iPhones isn´t usable with a stylus only with fingers due to the influence in the static field of the capacitive touchscreen.
Well actually the Diamond got TWO touchscreens, it also have a capacitive touchscreen under the normal screen and under the touchpad (buttons) beside the resistive touchscreen on the surface of the screen. (sushilange fond that).
it is a must
you are mad if you don't

But still love the Love and passion you speak of.
Something that looks this nice Should look as nice ass possible.
Maybe some company is smart enough to make a full body screen protector. (maybe it allready exist heavn't looked)
I have double feelings about this.
My Touch Screen wothout protections is starting to lose the top layer on the right side of screen (i never really got the hang of using that unnatural touch scrolling and kept using the scrollbar)
Try to teach an old dog new tricks
It's expensive, but this seems to be a good full-protection:

We will see this shamefull Spam through the fingers this time
The video sells let's be honoust.
But a video of how to strap on these Protective Phone Kevlar Condom Vests would be usefull.
If anyone get's he's her hands one one of these i'd be interested on how it looks and let's itself be applied. It is pricey but for the Price i'll be paying for the Pro it might be a very good investment.
im going to give that invisible shield a try. sounds cool and i like my devices like from box :>
Hi Guys
as per silkworms post I have seen this screeen available but i fears it going to be the same crappy plastic affair thats easily scratched that the phone is shipped with.
Does anyone know where I can get a tempered glass/hard as nails replacement please? It would be ideal if they can fit it as well. Or maybe you have experience with the screen linked above, is it any good?

hmmm, a hard screen would prohibit you from applying pressure to the digitiser yes!
so that no touch screen can work for you.
Iphone has tempered glass but uses capacative screen, so need need for pressure to be applied through the glass i think.
But the diamond is resistive screen and required physically to push on the digitiser (screen under the top screen) to detect input
aww crap..... problem is this screen is soooo soft, its getting scratched so easily and I didn't want another layer of plastic protector on the top.
This to me is the one major problem with this phone that I cannot seem to find a suitable answer for.
Thanks for your reply and what you say makes sense....
maybe a screen protector?
is not as good and makes the phone not look as nice but stops scratches ok.
or maybe sell your house and car so you have no keys in your pockets
I make sure I don't have keys or money in the same pocket. I think this gets scratched when I put it on my desk - which it should be able to handle!

just keep mine in the leather pouch it came with never had a problem.

you put your diamond.....face down......on a desk.....! your nuts!
why? Its not bothered any other phone I've had ..... then again, I've never had such a soft, easily pushed in screen before either.
And yes I do, that's what the "turn it over to silence it" functions for.
I also was hesitant to put a screen protector on it. But I eventually did it (the one that came with the Diamond) - if you put it on neatly, it is virtually invisible, the screen is shiny, and I do not find any difference in sensitivity. Try it, if you do not like it you can always remove it. I am fine with this solution, and feel much easier about the danger of scratches. it not only protects the screen from scratches, but also from the danger of braking it by being hit, because the impact of an accidental hit on the screen gets physically distributed over a wider surface by the protector. Before applying it, I cleaned the screen with Displex display polish, so it would stick very evenly over the surface and the edges - which it did. I can only recommend it (before the first scratch appears....)
the screen of the diamond is supposed to be tempered glass!!
and on my diamond i can press the screen, but it does not feel soft at all.

No it's not. Underneath the top layer (which is the soft plastic that can scratch) it is tempered glass. HTC made this decision to protect the diamond screen from cracking. When pressure is applied to the casing that would otherwise cause the diamond to break in a bad way.
Without a capacitive screen (such as the iphone) you could not have glass as the top layer or else it could not recognise the stylus or your fingers.
It's better this way, as it means you have the option of a stylus. The iphone could never use a stylus for this reason.
Hi,
I don´t know how but I broke my Polaris Screen (both LCD and Touch screen).
The touch screen is the glass on which you use your stylus, and has a thin transparent foil top layer. The touch screen is broken because I can see a few cracks beneath the foil but I can't feel the cracks!
The LCD is broken because I can see blue/black oily spots and stripes.
My Polaris is almost 3 years old, so I cannot spend almost $200 for this parts replacement.
Does anyone have a bricked (or boxed) Polaris, with a screen ok, for sell, so I can replace mine?
Any other suggestion is welcome.
Thanks
(There's plenty of guides to help you replace your screens out there...so I would redo one of those.)
Ive replaced a few of these S3 screens with new glass and the double sided tape method and the only issue that always happens is that the glass will touch the digitizer in the middle once in awhile. This registers a touch that is stuck on and locks up the rest of the touch screen. The only work around is pressing on the glass around the outside of the lcd to release the unwanted touch. Tonight I discovered a great method for curing that problem. I removed the glass and cleaned up very well. Then applied a cut down screen protector for a LG spectrum to underside of the glass to bridge the gap between the glass and the digitzer. (The spectrum protectors was big enough to trim down to the right size) Retaped and assembled. This has worked perfect to correct and the screen looks great! Make sure to buy a screen protector that is clear. A protector that is anti-glare would dim the display. With the clear you cant tell its there. The touch screen acts like new. Very happy with the results!!

interesting. i have recently replaced my S3 with the prokit from amazon, but had occasional touch issues like you described. i might try this. to be clear, with the screen protector, do you still need to apply any adhesive between screen and digitizer?

No you do not need adhesive/loca between ur screen and digitizer. BTW I've went down that road with using the adhesive...not very fun. The UV glue method is tough to apply correctly. That is why I was experimenting with the under glass screen protector method.
One more add on to my description of adding the screen protector between glass and digitizer is doubling up on the double sided tape around the perimeter. I wanted to make sure I got the tape high enough to bridge the slightly larger gap between the glass/digitizer due to the screen protector. Hope this helps.
maybe not the perfect solution....
The wifes phone that I tried this fix on is working awesome. She said it hasnt had one issue since. But I've tried this method on two other S3 without the same sucess. Both were the US Cellular verisons of the phone (wifes is Verizon), and both still had touch screen lockups. So had to redo with the LOCA replacement method to cure issues. Just FYI...
Hi, I have recently dropped my S7 and my screen broke, but it’s only smal black dot on side of amoled and one line trough glass. My biggest problem is that lower part of screen digitizer stoped working. I’ve searched all over ebay for new screen assembly with amoled and digitizer but it’s expensive ~170$. So I was thinking, can I replace only digitizer, they cost about 30-50$? I’m not sure because every video on YouTube that replaced only digitizer had fully working amoled. Do you guys have any experience? Any advice is appreciated
Hello,
As seen on some drop test videos, sometimes screen can be totally messed up but digitizer can still be working good. So my guess is that they work independently and so a new digitizer could work good even if the screen as some dead areas or lines etc...
But due to the fact that Samsung glue the glass with the digitizer and with the screen panel, it's a very difficult process to just remove the glass without scratching or breaking the Amoled panel. Better be well prepared to it, have the right tools and have a lot of dexterity and patience. It's already a big pain to separate the screen for the glass, so if you're planning to separate and replace only the digitizer, then good luck :-/
Before trying this, you still should call some repair centers to see how much it would cost for a screen replacement, but unfortunately it is most likely to be expensive. Also, be aware that buying yourself a screen replacement doesn't guarantee you that it will be an Amoled. A year ago, my brother broke his OnePlus 3 screen, and it was almost impossible to find an Amoled screen replacement, their description was saying Amoled, but by reading well, we could always find somewhere "TFT" or "LCD" which are not Amoled.
In the end, you have to be aware than any flagship phone cost an arm to repair, especially the screen as everything is glued and made for you not to be able to repair it yourself. So it is very highly recommended to protect your phone with cases and screen protectors (plastic screen protectors protect the screen better from shocks than glass screen protectors, even if plastic feels cheaper). Unless you have a lot of money and can easily pay a repair, protect your phone!
Sorry, that's all I can do for you...
