My PDA screan has lost some sensitivity. Everything else is working order...

So I have a pda (xda) Orbit 2, it’s from O2. While I was at Glastonbury 08 towards the end of the festival I found that I couldn't unlock the phone. I.e. you would press unlock (bottom left button) and then confirm that you want to unlock the phone. This is the standard way to unlock the phone normally. So the problem then was that it had the unlock at the bottom at the left but you can't click on it :s. Ok it was the last day so I just thought it'll work by the time I get home just leave it turned off. Got home charged it worked perfectly.
Now I’ve that problem once since then. Fixed the problem the same way. Plugged it into the mains bobs your uncle it fixed it.
This time its different I have tried everything. Soft reset, taking about the battery, charged it fully and let the battery die out complete. Nothing will get rid of this problem I just can't unlock my phone. I can still receive calls but can't read text's emails. Very frustrating. If people haven't got clues its off to 02 flash the phone loose everything then tell me they have no idea what is wrong with it. Hell I can flash the phone myself O another key factor is i know the screen still has sensitivity becuase when i touch the screen a similar screen to that of the unlock screen comes up, only without the unlock button.
Anyway any thoughts anybody?

ok Chang phones touch screen
ok i think your phones touch screen is gone plese chang the touch screen

lol, easily said. That would be a rather large pain i have to say cheers for the reply though
Incase i didn't make it clear everything on the screen is fine. I thought maybe i had aligned my screen some how just very very badly.

of which i fully appreciate. But changing an entire screen is a pain which ever way you look at it.

no not changing the entire screen
bro you need to chang the only touch panel not the screen, screen and touch panel r the diffrent T.P is mounted on screen and you can chang it withc good hardware guy.

Orbit 2 White Screen need help.

Hi all.
I recently came into the posession of one of these awesome devices.
my only problem is that when turned on, the screen comes on but is just pure white.
the device seems to boot up ok as you can hear all the noises in the background, also the digitizer works as the backlight comes on when you touch the screen and you can hear windows mobile clicking away.
could this be the lcd thats broken? or could it be an issue with the mainboard?
anyone have any ideas? or have had the same problem?
i just dont wanna go out and buy a new screen to find out thats not the problem lolol.
(btw i have tried hard reseting multiple times and that dosent seem to be the problem)
thanks all.

Um how du know that you have HR properly if you cannot see the screen, or can you see it on the HR screen?
Also if you can can you see the bootloader, and have you tried a different rom, never know it may work

heya chris, thanks for the reply.
reason i know it has hard reset ok is i used a htc touch next to it to guage where the setup screen (screen calib etc) buttons were and tapped on the digitizer unitll it got to the main screen and reset itself after customisation (took friggin aages to do that lol)
then managed to fudge it to get media player running by using the arrow buttons etc.
sayin that what combo of buttons do youse to HR. ill give it a try if theres another way ;-)

For me its ok and windows key, the one beneath the send and end keys
Then when booted it will say "blah" and press send to restore. Press send then it will take about 15 seconds or so to restore then it reset's and boots up again.
To do the bootloader its the camera button and reset, but i dont know if thats helpful if you cant see the screen!!
Um is it still under warrenty if so go that route and if not try taking it apart and then try to see if any of the screen connectors are loose i think that someone has done this already on here with pictures if you want some help with it.

tried the hard reset again and still met with the same white screen. dang...
as for warranty, its an ex business phone i got through my work so no warranty, and i have since stripped it down 3 times to look for faults.
have tried slotting the ribbon cable in and out of its socket and had no luck.

hmm i would say maybe new motherboard or screen, which you prob already know by now.
Apart from that im out of ideas as to what to say would be a solution for the problem with it or how to fix it without replacing parts

cheers for all your help chris.
i think ill just have to take the dive and order a new screen.
god i hope its the screen lol

[Q] Screen problem (blurry screen on touch)

Hello everyone.
Yesterday, I got weird problem (in one hand). Phone screen on touch becomes blurry, like it's liquified... This never happened before and I believe it's hardware problem. Here's YT video which shows whats happening:

Anyone had this kind of problem? Maybe some advice?

There is something pushing on the screen from behind. Push hard on a laptop screen or anything LCD and it will do that. It's to do with how LCD works.

I know, but how come it happened out of nothing? Phone has not been opened...

Friend of mine who works in T-mobile told me the same thing. He said I should wait for it to stop working and bring it to service as I still have warranty.
Thanks everyone.

cool mate
hope u will get the phone back to u hands asap.... so that u can explore and enjoy sg3

Hmm, my cousin had the same in SG3, but it dissapeared. He doesn't do anything about it, just it was gone after some time...

home button not working has fixed ***** by:- Sandeep Sivia

Home Button Problem is solved
I solved my problem and got home buttom working as my friend solve my problem he just opened my phone and make separate it all and fixed button with his technique . its has water that stoped my home button and he cleaned it
more thing exact price of Samsung LCD (with sensors and home button) Is 4500/- its by Samsung officially and samsung care people says its of 5100 , one say its of 6300 and so on
its has one cable that connects home and other two buttons and that is easily available , for replacement u need some special trained person to replace ur sensors and ur home buttom nothing big

I would say: Try to wipe everything, somehow get into download mode (from running system/usb jig), and flash the last offical stock full (PIT+BOOT+ROM+MODEM) firmware available. I hope this will also reformat your phone back to RFS, otherwise you'll have a problem.
Then bring the phone to a service center. I think this is a hardware problem, or did you do something special before?
Please wait until someone verifies this.

@Sandeep......as u know you have to give it to service centre for permanent fix....however until that you can try this app called Home Button by black hound from playstore....it will solve ur problem temporarily

thnks for ur rply's but my ph is out of warranty as warranty has expired 20 days ago (my bad luck) now see wht happens . i went to care but they said it comes with display not alone and its of 5100/- and i don't want to spend on this phone i will buy another one

My sister's menu and back button was also damaged (dunno why). It costs alot since the whole touch panel needs to be replaced. So i just installed button saviour from the play store and it saved her phone.

this prbm may be due to the water that goes inside ur home button only thing is that watch dismantle video on youtube and then carefully remove ur display from front only bcz its joined with double sided tape only and then clean ur button but u need a mobile technician for all this
i am not responsible for any damage

Screen issue

For about a weak or so i got a problem with my screen,when typing a certain area of the screen is not working like:
-on cm in performance options i cant press ok on the warning message only in landscape mode works
-on google chrome i cant press sing in(see attachment)
and other apps in the same area but on keyboard everything is ok
I did drop my phone 6 weeks a go on the screen and since then my screen upper right conner started to move and maybe some dirt got in true there and cause this issue or is just because my phone is more than 2 years old and i should consider buying a new screen
Any one else ever had this problem or can some one give me some advice

Hello! Same problem here! I think it's faulty digitizer! Nothing can do for that!
I think buy a new phone! 50gbp for digitizer is too much for old phone

If that is the problem then for me it's a new Galaxy nexus or a Nexus 4 this summer
