Hey all,
I sent my phone to my mobile provider some time ago to get a few issues fixed, when it came back the screen was really loose. I mean if u touch it it wobbles... if you press the power on button holding the phone with one hand then the actual screen will tilt, thats how loose it is. If you look at it closely, you can also actually see that the screen is not inline with the back half of the phone, it kinda hangs over a little bit.
What im wondering, is there a guide or something that can help me tighten the screen up abit so its not as loose.. it gets really anoying at times.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you!

Dont get me wrong, i love the HTC Sensation, especially seeing as i came from a nokia N97 mini... (never again). But the HTC's screen some times just will not work for me!
The issue comes now and again when i try to scroll or press anything, only the very bottom of the screen and very top of the screen will work. The whole Middle of the screen if you like, becomes totally unresponsive. If I turn the phone off and on it works again, or if i wait 10 minutes or so it will also work.
Just wondering if any 1 else has ran into this problem or if i should just send it back in the hope of getting a better one?
Thanks
definitely not normal...I'd take it back mate :S
take it back
Back it bro as quick as possible, and ask for a new one.
Haha will do, just sent them a message, so hopefully get a new one ASAP
Thanks guys
Haywire digitizer! Abort! Abort!
well hopefully this is the right place to ask this. to the point...
recently my daughter got a hold of my phone and decided to drop it in the bathtub.
after taking it apart and letting it dry out the best i could i tried to turn it back on.
at first i got to the lockscreen at which point it was completely unresponsive.
however now i can get it to respond to the unlocking and passcode and it seems fine...except to see the screen i have to look at it under the right lighting and just the right angle.
any possible solution to this problem? im hoping the phone can still be saved. thanks in advance

have you tried putting it in dry rice for while so it can completely dry up?
You're probably going to have to replace the LCD itself then. Much cheaper than buying a new phone.
A while ago I started having issues with my phone where the screen would seem to go off while I was using it. When I say go off, not as in the lock type of way because you can still do what you were doing but you can't see it. This is going to sound weird but sometimes I have to literally squeeze my phone or hit the side of it for the screen to cut back on and not it's just got to the point where it doesn't stay on at all. I know the phone is old and all but now I just use it for app and music purposes but I like to use it. No I've never drop my phone in water or something and no I didn't really drop my phone much or hard atleast since if it fell, it fell on carpet. I have all the tools and stuff so I can open it up if any help is able to be given. Sorry if I post this in the wrong section so this is my first post.

Without looking at it is seems that you LCD screen is on its death bed. You need to get something like this.

Alright. so once if I buy this and fix it, my screen would be working back to normal ? Thanks for the reply tho
A friend of mine had a Galaxy S3 Amber with a broken (and blank) screen and wanted her data from it's internal memory that is locked and not in debugged mode. I did a lot of research and found the best, most efficient way was to do a motherboard swap with another gs3. I had a Galaxy S3 Blue. I watched a couple of videos and it seemed rather easy. I gathered the proper tools and was EXTREMELY careful not to break or rip anything (and to my knowledge i did not). When i put her motherboard from the amber one into the blue one and the screen would not come on. My first thoughts were it must be her motherboard that went bad. Well when i went to put my blue gs3 back together (again being very careful this entire time) I'm now having the same issue as she was. Black screen, no back light. The bottom lights DO come on and i feel it vibrate when i get a message. There was also no power on chime...
I know its hard to tell with out looking but any ideas on what could be wrong or what i might have screwed up? i checked all the connections and everything looks perfect. Nothing is bent or connected wrong and I didn't force or break anything.
update: so i found that the touch part of it still works fine. i can hear the ripple unlock as well as all the other sounds and such when i touch around and i can here it opening apps. the only issue lies in the screen itself being blank with no back light what so ever,
First of all remove the battery and attempt to power on, then leave without battery for 1 min, I know this sounds silly but it worked on an old iPhone 3G so anythings worth a shot.
If that doesn't work go back into the S3 and make sure all the data clips are firmly in place and locked down but not twisted in anyway. Also make sure their is no moisture or dust on the ribbons. You may not realise it but even the smallest imperfection with this can cause massive issues down the line.
If all else fails her phone may have broke your screen, I don't know how but it is a possibility
Hope I could help and good luck

so i took it apart again today to double check and clean everything and under inspection i noticed a teeny tiny slit on the edge of the lower, bigger ribbon. i know the smallest bit could be horrid. Any fix and would that cause just the screen to not show? i don't know if that is the led connection but i think it may be.

If theirs a slit I'm affraid that could be it for the screen, like I said even the smallest imperfection can cause massive issues. The slit is probably in the one of the data sections of the ribbon cable which is why data for the screen isn't being carried.
For the fix I don't think their is one unless you can fit a new ribbon on to yout S3's screen
Sorry about the screen
So I took it all apart again. Cleaned ever little thing I could and now it works again. ?

hello,
I just bought my nexus 5 about 2 weeks ago and now I seem to have a hardware screen issue with it, about 4-5 days ago I noticed that when I pressed a bit harder on the middle right portion of the screen it makes a weird clicking noise like it is not glued properly to the body frame anymore and sticks a little when I press on it but then pops up again.
I have never dropped the phone and I was wondering if anybody else had this issue, and if yes is there a quick way to fix it or should I try going back to the store and get a replacement phone ?
thank you in advance
