Change Sensation display (LCD) by One S display (AMOLED) - HTC Sensation

Hello,
I like Sensation but screen consumption seems high (as in all phones)...
I saw that HTC One S has the same resolution and the same size screen as the Sensation, but AMOLED.
Anyone know which pinouts have each screen module?
Because they are similar phones, maybe have same screens (pinouts).
If not i whould make small changes (if pinout are same but in different order).
I hope display driver (chipset) are included in the LCD module, not in the motherboard ...
I think about buy HTC One S screen on ebay when available (now dont have) and try to change it ...
(im not sure about sub-forum of this post... y think "sensation accesories" fits better than Q&A because Q&A posts are doubts about software, not hardware... if another sub-forum are good please move to them..)

I wouldn't do it. The One S screen would recieve a current it's not supposed to.

because different voltages and currents of the tft screen i need driver/chipset in screen board.
If driver are in screen board, flex cable that connect to motherboard takes digital signal bus and may be the same in both screens.
For example: there are many laptop screens that uses different lcd panels (with different control and backlight voltages), but all of them have same connection: dvi mod (now).

why not just buy the one s if your gonna be dropping cash on a screen for one.

This is a good idea, if this works. I'll be down to actually do the mod as well.

so.. when sold htc one s?... i think now, but y doesnt find anything about this and his replacement parts...

Any moderator would move thread to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1425 (hardware hacking).
I think is more apropiate... (if think "no" dont move xD)

Just to add the complexities that danirebollo mentioned, another big issue is that the mainboard might be a totally different layout. You might have to do a custom cable. Also, the thickness/thinness of the panel might be an issue.
IMHO, it would be cheaper to sell your Sensation and purchase a One S instead of modifying & purchasing a new panel.

90% of phone screens are not compatible with each other. If you find two that do, it's a coincident rather than the norm. And if I were to go through so much trouble as to source a replacement qHD Super AMOLED screen, which I'm sure won't be cheap to being with, I'd just get a new phone.

if that is possible, count me in, ive bin looking into it ever since i switched over from the samsung vibrant, but never really made any brake throughs

Agreed, I tried to upgrade the SoC by putting my R1 engine in it last night, and would you believe it, it didn't fit. Unbelievable. I wrote HTC a very strong letter of complaint ; )
Sorry, it's that time of the day here in the UK where my silly side rears its head.
Would be a good mod if it worked but I doubt it very much for the reasons mentioned, plus, is the didgitiser bonded to the screen in this new generation of HTC phones?

Well as far as I know, the only way to change the screen on one of these is to change the entire motherboard with it, I found this out at somewhere is the desire thread because many of he desire phones had smiled screens but then Samsung couldn't produce them fast enough and switched it for slcd but people wanted amoled so they swapped it all. Maybe if we asked HTC about being able to swap the screens ( yes it sounds stupid bit what else can we do?). Although the chances are amazingly thin we could request it from them that if you send the phone with them align with the cost of the amoled screen, they should replace it or even ****ing tell us how or if it can be friggin done. Power comes through numbers.....

Yeah, if someone finish this work, I maybe have a try

lol?? why sooo sarcasm??
some phones have same lcd screen (no digitizer), it hasnt rare idea... the only problem was different tecnology (LCD->OLED) but normally the only important was control bus, i2c, (i dont think these screens need this bus), and video data...
i dont know now if it is possible until i have both pinouts.

The other problem I would think is that the touch screen driver wouldn't work with the new screen

I have spoken to my manager regarding this and unfortunately we cannot advise any customer to change there device specification or hardware as this will void the warranty of the handset. I then went on to ask if our repair centre can perform this, unfortunately we cannot request this as this then support customization of the devices which is against the device terms and conditions..
I do apologise about this however we are unable to perform this request.
This is what I got from HTC asking if:
a) if it could be done.
b) if they could do it for us if we payed.
So I'm guessing somebody will have to try it on their own first. GOOD LUCK and God's speed.

Another problem,
I upgraded manually a Nexus S i9023 (slcd, like sensation) with android 4.0.3 leaked pakage in december. This package was made for i9020 (super amoled version): Android run beautifully but when you go into recovery you can't see anything (if you use a very bright light you can barely see the text of the recovery) cause it has drivers for amoled screen.
I suppose that if the screen change is possible you could also have problems to see recovery that is made with normal sensation's screen driver, imho.

If this ever works, it will end like Motorola's Cliq multi touch patch. While it might work, the screen voltage sensors won't be calibrate correctly and will end burning the screen (if you don't believe me Google it). The same could happen to the screen in general, with wrong voltage its going to break.

Hi Guys, Planning to buy the Moster
Anyone can tell me which Batch of HTC Sensation are defective and should be avoided whle buying. Must have been some phones with

Just tell me which Batch sets I should buy that dont have touch screen, Wifi Death grip and power button issues...
umm if you are talking about the sensation.. i dont believe there has been any hardware changes since release so all batches would be the same?
If your living in a place where you can get your hands on a sensation XE with beats by dre then i guess you could call that a better batch?

Bro I got a new one from star market, Karachi just 2 Days ago, i didn't faced wifi Deathgrip, touchscreen or power button issues yet, but i am surprised with lcd screen's color rendering, noticed a yellowish shade on pure white background of htc logo and on all apps which has white background, like in quick menu etc, not impressed, or maybe screen has some problem, or software issue, i'll install custom Rom and see color back to normal or not
They're all the same, you shouldn't see any differences between the new and old.
There are two different types of screens, look them up on the General section, you'd want the Sharp screen as it looks the best, but some people also perfer the AUO screen.
And also for Alipk, you probably have the AUO screen, that's why.

Build date
Build date doesn't necessarily indicate quality. I bought mine during the Father's Day special in June. My build date as shown on the back of the box is 05/12/2011 and I haven't had any issues. It is a little slow (~5%) on the benchmarks compared to other Sensation phones, but I don't notice the difference in actual use. I love her! (Its name is Candace - my wife referred to my phone as "the other woman", so I named it after the salesgirl that sold it to me.)

[Q] Desire S - Screen damaged - black and negative colors only

Hi all,
Got a desire which was working perfectly fine on stock, but sudenly the screen got dark, showing only negative colors.
Attached some pictures (not much to see).
anyone has faced a similar problem?
Understand that this is hardware related (I restored to factory), and will send to HTC for fixing (hope they do it).

Looks like digitiser is ok but lcd screen knackered some how. You can get digitiser and lcd screen together off ebay.

I'll give a try to the HTC support under the guarantee.
The device has a few scratches, and I hope they don't say that it is related to a knock or something like that.
Whatever it is... if the phone's stock and under warranty, i'd advise sending it over for repair to HTC. If there's no warranty, you can either try repair at an authorized service center, or attempt it yourself (seeing suggestions regarding screen replacement in previous posts) - But the problem is that we don't know if the LCD is faulty or it is a mainboard related problem, or something entirely different, so i think the safest thing to do is to go knock on HTC's door.
Hi all,
So far I've been criticizing HTC for their poor HTC technical service.
Today I have to take my hat off.
I've received the Sensation S fixed in 4 working days, and presented in the best way possible (see attached picts).
Congrats HTC, you are now the best.

International digitizer on AT&T model fitment...?

Hey all,
Quick question here... Firstly, yes, I am a noob. I have an HTC One X on AT&T. My brother actually helped me root it and I'm running the Xi40 ROM I found in these developer forums.
Anyway, about 2 weeks ago, I dropped my precious One X, and cracked the screen. The LCD underneath was fine. I was considering replacing the screen/ digitizer myself, but after plenty of reading, it was just too much for me. So I had a local repair shop replace it. When they replaced the screen/ digitizer, they broke my original LCD, so they replaced the the whole combo (being screen/ digitizer/ and LCD). Well they actually put a international version of the digitizer in my device, and I know, because instead of saying "AT&T" at the top, it says "HTC"...
The replacement doesn't sit totally flush to the device, but I can push it in and it seems like there's space for the screen to fit it. Basically was the repair done wrong, or is the international screen actually different from the US version that's disallowing it to fit flush to the device?
I'll try and get pictures up later if anyone is interested.
Cheers.
I dont think the screens have any differences between the international version and the ATT version so maybe they just did the procedure wrong

Thanks for the insight. Currently I'm just trying to push it into place or something, hoping it will snap in. Any cases you guys would recommended that wraps over the sides to maybe help the screen stay flush?

He didn't do the best job putting it in, then again a lot of us got our phones with the screen not sitting flush as well.
and it isn't necessarily the T3 international version, the Rogers version (which is the same S4 variant) also says Htc on top. Either way though, you're fine.

That may not be true. The Teg3 One X uses panels from Acer and Sharp whereas the XL uses Sony panels exclusively. It seemed kind of odd but if they are actually sized differently it makes sense.

[Q] Broke the screen on HTC One X Telus > repair options ?

Hello everyone,
Unfortunately I broke the Gorilla glass screen digitizer on my One X. I had it my back pocket and I sat on chair and I heard a cracking noise. It is a thin hairline crack, but it goes from one side to the other; the LCD is fine though. I am fairly good with fixing things and with a good guide I'll attempt to fix it myself.
The question I have is: should I change just the glass digitizer or should I change the screen too? From what I've seen on Youtube the digitizer is glued pretty good to the LCD and it is difficult to remove. I would attempt to remove just the digitizer but I am afraid not to scratch or damage the LCD in the process. Some people were recommending changing the digitizer and display in one piece. Price wise I am looking at around $20 for the digitizer alone or $80 for digitizer + LCD so I could definitely save on changing just the digitizer.
Has anyone tried change to change any of them and could you please share any feedback I could use ?
Thanks.

There have been a few threads about this. The consensus has been that only HTC can ever get the phone back to a presentable condition after trying to reinstall the glass. And I believe their cost is in the $200-$300 range. I don't think I have seen a single report of a DIY replacement that worked out well. And several "professional" fixes that looked terrible. If you want the glass seated back flush with the phone and the capacitive buttons lined up right I think your only option is HTC, and its not cheap.

OK, so installing just the glass is difficult and might not look or work as good. But what if I change buy the glass and LCD in one piece and install it in one block (costs around $90 for the part)? Any bad reports for this one? Sending to HTC is out of the question, for $300 I might as well get another phone.
Also is there any difference between the international EndeavorU Tegra 3 and Evita S4 variants when it comes to LCD size compatibility? Most of the vendors on eBay don't specify if it is for the international version or Evita so I am assuming it should be the same thing. But, the Evita is 0.5 mm longer than the International version so there is a possibility the displays are different.
There is a difference in sizes among the various One X models. They are not interchangeable. The AT&T version costs the most, naturally (I want to say $150+). If you have an AT&T version, the international One XL (must be LTE version) screen will fit almost perfect, but the capacitive keys don't line up right. Plus with the exception of the AT&T logo its really hard to tell them all apart.
Basically, if the still screen works, keep using it as is. Otherwise getting a new phone is recommended.

I have the version sold in Canada by Telus and Rogers (LTE). Basically it is the AT&T version but with a HTC logo instead of AT&T (and with an unlockable bootloader). I would prefer to get a 100% working screen with a HTC logo, not AT&T. But from you mentioned, my only option would be the LTE International One XL.
What do you mean the capacitive keys don't line up right? Aren't they built inside the whole glass-LCD assembly? If I change the whole thing, do I still need to mess with the capacitive keys ?
Thank you.
I've only seen people replace the whole front glass assembly, which includes the buttons. The lights are in a different place, so the buttons work, but only halfway light up. I'm not sure on the Canadian version, I have the AT&T version, so that's the one I have watched for. Everything I read about this is on xda somewhere. I just don't know exactly where the threads were. Possibly in the accessories forum too.
Sent from my HOCKS
I think it is safer to avoid replacing just the glass, I want to go with glass and LCD one piece swap. If I replace it with this eBay item for example, I should have everything work back to original state including the capacitive buttons assuming that the display is compatible with my HTC ?
At this point you have nothing to lose except 90 bucks... Buy the glass, and replace it. Take your time, and you will also learn something. Whenever people say something is hard, I use it as my drive to prove them wrong. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Tip: reassemble it, then if t dont look right, take it apart again, then reassemble it again, this kind of softens the plastic gasket that holds the screen in place, after a couple attempts it should sit in just like new.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
That's what I meant: glass, digitizer, and LCD in one unit. Its hard to tell if that came out of a LTE version. There are no many One X variants that use the same name. You can try to ask the seller. The only guarantee to get the right part and get them installed correctly is to deal with HTC. Having a screen not seated right, or the buttons not lighting up right would drive me crazy.
Personally, I would just get a new phone, depending on the crack.

Oh I got it. So the capacitive buttons lights are NOT inside the digitizer-LCD unit, that's why the misalignment issues. So basically my best bet would be with an AT&T branded screen. I guess I'll take an AT&T logo instead of a bad capacitive buttons.

I will try to do it, I fixed my galaxy S2 before with guides from the internet, I'll try with the One X. I am just waiting for the seller to confirm if his part is compatible with the HTC One X Evita.
But the bottom line is > phones have grown to big for their own good. The bigger the screen size, the higher the flex. The result is easy to see.
I didn't want a 4.7" but really wanted an HD screen. I guess from now on I'll stick with a 4.3 screen, it is easier to operate with one hand and probably more flex resistant.
Everyone wants thinner, bigger, lighter phones. At some point people need to stop and look at longevity of the device.

IMPOSSIBLE! way too much adhesive heating slightly only ended up damaging the lcd. I ended up ordering my screen/lcd from repair universe. Meanwhile phone was out of order Once the later than promised repair item arrived from them. It had the HTC logo instead of the ATT one at the top. (little scared at that point to continue, but what the hell) everything fit well. my only complaint is the captivate buttons on the bottom. I was able to transfer the plastic light things for the captivate buttons, just not as perfect as I would like. However works well.

Do you have a link with a XL screen (HTC logo) that works just like the original one?
Some people are reporting that the capacitive buttons light are not properly aligned with the One XL, only half of the buttons light up. I would get a XL screen with an HTC logo, but I think I would tolerate an AT&T logo instead of half lit capacitive buttons.
No clue on the quality or type of glass. The day after my repair, I had invisasheild installed. I like The feel of glass vs plastic but I don't really want to go though that again. The display on 1080 looks great for my movies.

[Q] Difference between brightness of HTC One S 1.5 vs 1.7

Hello Brothers.
I have both Htc One S 1.5 and 1.7.

What is 1.5 and 1.7?
And as far as yellowish screen is concerned, I also have this issue with my phone (S3). I read some other users also reported it.
When viewing the screen, it looks a bit yellowish, however if i tilt it a bit forward or backward, the yellowish color goes away and white looks bright and pure white.
My phone also has JB. I got this phone already upgraded to JB, so not sure whether the same thing was on ICS or not.

1.5Ghz Snapdragon S4, 1.7Ghz Snapdragon S3.
I have the S4 and I have no problems with the colours from the display, white is definitely white, just the bloody RGBG display that HTC fitted is my only complaint with the screen.

Oh okay, he was talking about the processors . I thought some software version he was talking about.
Anyway it seems that some units have this yellowish screen issue, I read somewhere one S4 user also had a same issue with his phone's display. I have S3 phone, and same issue.
And what is wrong with RGBG display? I mean what change does this type of display do?

I reckon it's just Samsung sending HTC some dodgy displays. Luck of the draw I suppose, the processor plays no part.

http://www.wikitech.hu/uploads/2012/01/rgb-stripe-vs-rgbg-vs-rgbw-pentile.png < This is a image of digital screen display matrix'. The top one is the conventional display that the large majority of all digital displays use. The bottom two are Samsung's new PenTile displays. The main purpose of them is to save battery (which is why most people were staggered by the battery life of the One S on stock ICS). Basically, you only got 2/3 of a pixel on each pixel, because either red or blue has been sacrificed. The HTC One S has the middle one, the bottom one is used on a couple of Motorolas, the point of that display is to give superior performance in bright light.
Yeah seems processor has nothing to do with yellowish display. Only some units have it and unfortunately my phone is one of them. I do not like the yellowish screen, white looks beautiful.
And thanks for the display info

You could purchase a LCD screen made for the HTC Sensation/Sensation XE. Same screen size, same resolution, fits into the slot, and it is a proper RGB display, so you will notice the difference. Your battery life will decrease a little bit though, and obviously, the warranty is void if you open the phone up (although you have probably already made it void by unlocking the bootloader)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-SENSA...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2ebce9c4b1 £19.95 from eBay, although it is debatable whether you would trust something from eBay.

Well, instead of changing the display, i would rather prefer a new phone. I recently got this phone (in feb), quite satisfied with its overall performance except the display and some lags in games (esp subway surfer, most others run smoothly) in JB update. But that is okay now. Will use this phone for coming months then i might think of getting a new one. May be nexus 4 or some other phone.

I would definitely get the HTC One (M7 version). That will be a mighty beast of a phone. However, my Business Studies teacher has the Nexus 4, and he uses it for the projector, and that thing is lightning quick. For the price that it is available at direct from Google play, you definitely cannot go wrong.

Htc one would be expnsive for me. I prefer a mid ranged phone. If SGS III price drops a bit more, i would probably get it.
Nexus 4 isnt officially available in Pakistan, but local dealers have it. But right now it is a bit over priced here in Pakistan. Its price is dropping, and hopefuly will adjust in next few months. In fact one of the jnline shops (in Pakistan) also recommended to wait if u want to get it in good price.

If amazon or play.com do deliveries to Pakistan, then I would definitely check both of them if I were you. You won't find many legitimate offers cheaper than on them two websites.
