well no thanks to you guys i got my screen off my transformer, all you had to do is warm up the adhesive with something as simple as a hair dryer and slide a thin piece of metal around the edges till it comes off. But now that ive got that screen off and bought a new screen, what type of sticky adhesive do i get to put the new glass on? and where do i get it? does anyone know?

Has it ever occur to you that no one else here have done it?
It's not an everyday thing to swap out glass on a tablet, not like you can boot into recovery and do it.
Anyhow try a glass specialty store or even an electronic/pc repair place.
yea i know haha sorry, its just theres people online that say they have done it, just not how anyways thanks so much for the reply, i dont think ive ever heard of a glass specialty store, do you know the name of one?

haha fine by me if you dont care, but if it ever happens to you by all means ask me how because i know how. I can give anybody a tutorial
Maybe you should write up a tutorial for it. Did you find a glass to replace it with?
yes i did, its not the same, it actually seems to be better though

I'd be interested in a tutorial with pics.
What is the replacement glass ? where did you get it? how much etc etc
How the hell did you find replacement glass? I've been looking everywhere and still couldn't find it.
I am looking for HTC Desire S digitizer replacement, because mine is pretty scratched from previous owner. Of course I will buy it from ebay, but I am wondering am I looking for right digitizer?
For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Touch-S...ultDomain_0&hash=item27bc37a0c0#ht_3927wt_952
Digitizers list: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...tpos=&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1513&gbr=1&_pgn=1
Will this one fit for me perfectly? I am little confused, because looking for my phone ebay shows me digitizers for HTC Desire S S510E G12, and so far I know that's dual card chinese copy...

it should be ok. But i'm always wary of stuff that comes from Hong Kong (no offence to anyone and yes i understand most of the cheap stuff from UK sellers is the same thing)
Also this one seems better because the tools are free with it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DIGITIZER-T...939?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a19160cf3

the actual glass and the digitizer are two different things. So if it's just the digitizer, that's fine
i agree, i would be cautious ordering from hong kong on ebay as i have many times had issues with sellers when ordering phone parts..
I am not wondering about buying parts from ebay/HK this time as will it be allright for my phone...

Oh, I didn't even realise that. Will there be any noticable difference from original digitizer now on my Desire S and that one selling @ ebay for 10-15$ ?

well the last time i changed the digitizer was with the iphone 3g. The replacement was a cheap £10 one and to be honest i could not tell the difference.

are you saying that over this digitizer screen we have one more protecting glass ?
then there is no reason to OP change digitizer

If i'm correct it usually works like this: lcd--gorilla glass--digitizer and they're all glued together.
If you follow a tutorial such as this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaawEVWZvG4 you should be good.
I think Gorilla glass is what you touching wit you fingers (scratch protection for digitizer) and front glass with digitizer is in one part as in picture posted before. So if you buy cheap china touch screen - you will get digitizer with plastic on top. As I said - you can forget Gorilla Glass front lens.

Dont mean to jump on someone else's thread but didnt see the point of making a new one. im getting a lot of ghosting/ image bleed. would it be a digitizer replacement i need? if so is it easy to replace and could i use my existing glass as it is in really good nick.
Something has been confusing me for a while. When you purchase a digitzer without a housing, how do you attach it to said housing?
I'm planing on buying a white lg digtizer + new housing (as i dented mine after a few nasty drops), but noticed the white ones are only the digitzer, and do not come with any adhesive. Do I just "force it in"
Edit: Damn, Had multiple threads open, will ask to have it moved to Q & A

Found some adhesive. Would this "kit" work?

The digitizer i bought for my brothers galaxy s2 only required me to attach the little ribbons and screw it down. I'm sure it's similar on our phone.

i believe that "kit" would work. i dont see the need for the last item. as the first item comes with adhesive, and the digitizer itself should come with some adhesive in the back of it. atleast they usually do. but you can buy it for self insurance

Wow, I'm an idiot. I didn't even bother to look at the frame :good:
Now, I hope the white digitizier will actually work!
Any reviews on em?

be careful not to buy the cheap bad adhesive , some bad types doesnt hold the digitizer well enough , falls soon,
i think its better to buy it with the frame attached , much easier to assemble
The problem is no white ones come with attached frames
Have you had a bad experience with adhesive?

Anybody know a us seller that sells the housing? I need one, but don't want to wait a month for it.
Hello everybody!
Yesterday evening I dropped my phone and broke the digitizer. The LCD still works perfectly, though.
Has anybody bought a digitizer recently? How much should I pay for one? I'd rather spend as less as possible, but have a decent /good quality replacement.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: The reason of this question is that I am afraid of ending up buying a defective replacement and come across stupid behaviours like lag ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27948877 ) or partial unresponsiveness.
I've spotted some <10 euros shipped digitizers from China and Hong Kong on ebay like this ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Desire-...tizer-Lens-Glass-S510e-Adhesive-/310722093025 ), would they be suitable (they seem veeery cheap).
There are some on amazon as well ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/DESIRE-REPL...K7GA/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A37V4Y5C680M31 ), I would be likely to buy this one, but maybe someone with more experience than me will point me in the right direction

It's better to ask a offline store dealer about the exact replacements for your phone... Then you will know what kind of digitizer u need... I was Askin for a touch replacement for a friend and got to know that our device gets touch panel & lcd together so better check n purchase!

Do it right and slowly and you'll be fine. Make sure you use tape between the LCD and Touch Screen when you replace it. And don't cover the sensors.

Yep, that's the one. It's very easy to impair the way it works if you don't line the tape up correctly when you replace the screen.

Ok, I'll be careful about aligning them. Is the sensor one piece with the lcd or is it a separate part? I am mainly worried about sticking the lcd and the digitizer together, i think that i can solve any problems disassembling the phone a second time. Do you suggest changing the adhesive for the screen? If so, can you suggest which tape should I buy? I read on sensation forums that the digitzer touching directly the body of the phone can cause ghost touches/unresponsive areas on the touch screen. Is that true?
Thanks you all for your answers, I appreciate that

The sensor is within the LCD screen, but I think it may be a physically separate part (it's been a while since I took my DS apart).
You should always fully remove all traces of the old tape and replace with new - search on Amazon or eBay for "2mm double-sided tape"
I never encountered 'ghost' touches, and you shouldn't either if you replace it correctly.
Ok, thanks. How much did you pay for your replacement part? Did it feel like the original?

I can't remember exactly, it was somewhere round the £20 mark and it did the job just perfectly.
remember to check which panel you are getting, nobody here likes to have the MDDI panel.

You can buy a bundle, but it's much cheaper to get the touch-screen on its own and fit it yourself.

Hi, I have a doubt. I'm on the repair, but I don't really know which tape is the best for this repair and for the GSII I'm doing next (and the ones in the future). Is this one fine or, if not, can you suggest a suitable one?

I replaced mine a couple months ago but I had to replace the digitizer too. It cost ~$160 for a replacement but process was easy. It's been working great ever since. I don't know if it's possible to replace the glass without replacing the digitizer.

yep. I'm going to try just the glass and see. it's only $15 and there are plenty of u-tube vids to help. worst case I will upgrade. just can't decide between the SG4 or the HTC one.
I have a repair guide for this somewhere, I'll post when I find it.
