Hello everybody,
I've read a lot of threads here but none could solve my problem... My sister dropped her Wildfire S and the digitizer (the glass) broke in several pieces. Even though they were still in place, only the bottom right corner would respond to the touch, so I ordered a new digitizer on ebay and installed it but it worked only in that specific corner... so I found a fix in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21203638 (launching a calibration app via hboot using a goldcard) and the digitizer then began to work (but with many problems) just on the left and the right of the screen, the center was dead. So I asked the seller a new digitizer and it worked on the left and right too, like the previous one, but more flawlessly. I reused that fix and now the digitizer is working perfectly but just on 3/4 - 4/5 of the screen! the extreme left is dead, so I can't press the Shift button on my keyboard + a couple buttons right there... I'm now supposing that the digitizer is not faulty since the center didn't work and started to as I used that fix... I've also put a cyanogen rom on the phone but it's still as it was previously... Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I misspelled something
Do you have a warranty on your phone?

So do you think I should send them the phone with the new digitizer installed?
Where did you buy the phone?

In a mobile phone shop... do you think they'll trust me if I just tell them it's not working? btw, I'd like to find a better solution... my intention is to fix this digitizer
I took back my Galaxy i5500 5 times in 10 months, it was rooted and had I had Cyanogenmod installed on it. I soft bricked it 4 of them times (The first time was shock damage, but the man behind the counter said my device was great and he really liked the appearance and customization of Cyanogenmod and even asked me for the XDA URL).
Just take it back, say it's stopped working, worst thing that can happen is they'll send it back saying it hasn't been fixed as you've tampered with it.
Good luck,
Curtis.

Hello,
My very first thread so go easy on me.
I got a HTC sensation about a month ago and the moment I started using it I noticed that when I click or push on the bottom right of the phone (near the search button) there is kinda ticking like the phone isn't tightly closed(but it is closed..it's kinda moving) dunno how to describe it, I was wondering if it is normal or not, I might be paranoid lol
Also when I click (but strongly) on the bottom right of the screen it does the same like when u push a LCD screen but that doesnt happen anywhere else on the screen.
I have started a thread on this same topic lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258130
I have now noticed it comes and goes it was doing it now its not so i really dont know what to say
Hmmm in my case it doesn't come and go, it's there since I got the mobile, I got waranty for1 year so I am gonna check if they will accept to replace the phone or at least fix it, but that would be after like 2 month cuz I didn't buy the phone from here.
there is a temporary fix floating aroound here somewhere. all they did really was put a post it note on the corner where you here the clickin. try searchin for it.
as for me it does the same thing since i bought it. but its not really that bad and dont really notice it to tell you the truth. i m just wondering if this problem varies among hand sets. as in if its worse for some and not noticeable for others

It may be Your first thread but not the first thread on this subject...bit of advice - would suggest you do a bit of searching first
Anyhow - I posted this in response to thread

Just call HTC and tell them the problem, they will send you a replacement back cover for free as long as you send the old one. I just did it and my phone has no more of that ticking or crackling sound at the bottom. Try calling instead of doing an easy fix. U might as well usr ur warranty right?

Hello all,
Today I received my Nexus S, it was a demo model but it looked perfectly fine and I got it cheap.
Now while installing the phone it was doing some weird stuff but I thought well, maybe I'm touching the softkeys. But now sometimes the phone behaves like there are all types of softkeys being touched without touching the phone at all. The phone also vibrates like the softkeys are being touched.
Maybe someone knows this issue and knows how to resolve it?
The phone is still running 2.3
Thanks in advance
Can be closed, send the Phone to retailer and it has been replaced with a new one.
Still dont know what the problem was but I'm satisfied with the solution.
The digitizer is messed up
Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using XDA App
So I recently purchased the NS. I have one problem though: the very right side of the screen (0.5 cm from the end of the screen) the touchscreen is very unresponsive. Sometimes it responds sometimes it doesn't. On my previous phone (LG Optimus 2x) when running CM7 there was the same glitch. The very left side on my NS it's very responsive. I'm running stock 2.3.6 . What is my problem?
Thanks
U just got the phone and having all Stock with that issue, if I was u, I would use the warranty to solve that imediatly (or u can try to upgrade to newer ROM to see if that's a software prob.)
cheers
wipe the screen down with some alcohol to be sure

Don't do this, you'll risk prematurely eating your oleophobic coat. I'd find some touchscreen testing app first, and if the problem persists go to samsung.
Ok, I updated to 2.3.6 and the touchscreen is a bit better. Maybe that's just my impression. Are you sure none of you have this problem? hmm. So should I send it to Samsung for repair?
I haven't had this problem at all, my phones touchscreen is flawless everywhere. I would first talk to samsung and hope you don't get someone incompetent, then send it in if need be.

OH man. I don't want to be phoneless for a month though However I do have a year warranty and I only purchased the phone 3 days ago so I can wait and see if it get's worse before returning it for repair. It really doesn't bother me for now since I never touch the last 3 mm of the screen anyways.
okay, so the tittle says it itself. but the normal screen works. :\ is the keys that don't do anything. "home, Back, search and menu" everything works flawlessly, but this keys just wont respond. the light turns on every time i touch the screen but when i touch any of the bottom keys. it just doesn't do anything. any one have any suggestions? that could help me .. ive done factory resets twice and the hard reset also. would flashing a rom fix this problem?
Doesn't hurt to try. Do a backup and re flash rom or a different rom if problem is consistent than it might be hardware
Sent from my LG-P999
Thanks for your quick reply tomorrow morning i'll do that. I have to figure out,how to flash a rom. I have not yetrooted the phone or Flashed any rom. If flashing rooms don't work, would replacing the screen, lens or digitizer do anything??
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
Forgot to mention, did you try rebooting and/or hard reset?? Well before you start messing with it, is it still under warranty? If so send it in. Wait till tomorrow like you said maybe another person might have a better answer. If you haven't rooted your phone then you should Imo. Best thing a g2x can get is a custom rom! You will be very impressed. It may be
Sent from my LG-P999
i think i mentioned it on the first post. yes i have done a hard reset and I've done the "pull out the battery, take the sim card out and the Sd card and just turn it on with just the battery. and i believe is not. this phone has been around for a while and like i said is my friends. I wouldn't know if it is but I'll ask him when i get a chance.
It may be the digitizer I don't know for sure I'll actually do some research cause kinda interesting...
I want to go with you needing a new digitizer.
if not find an ICS launcher type thing it'll put the onscreen keys lol. I couldn't much especially on either the G2X nor European variant O2X... and I got bored reading about people spilling water, so make sure it doesn't have water damage other then that... new digitizer.
any suggestion would be appreciated!! I'm sure this phone is not under warranty, so replacing the digitizer wouldn't be a problem for me. at this moment I'm installing ClockworkMod, do any of you know which Rom is the best, as of in "stable/No Problems/Fast"?
Edit: Just Flashed CM7.1.0.1 to my phone and no luck at all. seems like I'm going to have to buy a new digitizer. Hopefully that solves the problem.
You can use the app, Button Saviour.

Well the manufacturer I bought it from is in china and I live in the states so its going to take a few weeks to get here. But as soon as I replace the old digitizer with the new one I will post the results here.

While you're at it, may as well make a video/pic tutorial.
I know the aokp ICS rom has a navigation bar that puts a Home, Back, and Menu button on the screen for people that don't have physical buttons. I'm not sure if other ICS roms for the g2x keep this feature. This may work as a temp solution until your new digitiser arrives.

There are plenty of videos/tutorials how to open the phone and replace the digitizer on YouTube.
@linelock, Thanks for your suggestion. but sadly the phone's digitizer/screen got cracked somehow while it was in my backpack, :\ so now I'm just waiting for the one I ordered since the touchscreen doesn't work at all... For now I'm just using this defy..
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
As far as I know, manufacturer warranties is 1 year, depending on when the phone was first sold...don't know if you'd go that way. I don't think it applies to secondhand phones, but some have tried it and it worked.
As far as tutorials on youtube, I found this was the most comprehensive.

My One X is doing the same thing except a little higher up. ( right above the second app row ) This happened after I got my screen replaced because it was cracked, the man insisted it was a internal issue, but my phone never did this before even when it was cracked. I payed around $200. I've tried, Factory restoring my phone and ect. I took it back to the man and he claimed he had changed the digitizer, but the phone still refuses to respond area.

In the attachments I blacked out where my screen doesn't respond to any touches..

If your phone is completely stock, you can try running an Ruu (rom update utility). It basically wipes everything and reinstalls everything as it was when you first bought it. But I wouldn't count on it fixing this as it seems to be a hardware issue. I am positive the person who replaced the screen replaced the digitizer too as they are firmly glued together and the cost of buying the screen without a digitizer is not worth the trouble of separating the screen from the digitizer.
Most likely the digitizer that is on there now is faulty.
