Buy original HTC devices
yah,, but now i broke the digitizer ribbon from the digitizer itself,, how do i restore it?
I've a Sensation with a broken LCD but working digitizer. All the movies on Youtube shows tutorials where first the digitizer is removed. There's only one movie that goes further and after removing the digitizer they removed the LCD. Look this at 7:42. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO9MnQRa7xQ
I've also replaced a LCD of a HTC Desire, but there I can replace the LCD without removing the digitizer. That saved me a lot of time. Can anyone says this is also possible at the sensation or the de LCD only been removed from the front and not from the back.
The digitiser is physically adhered to the LCD screen so no, you will have to remove the digitiser before you can replace the screen.

Well I read somewhere on here that it's just held by 3M stickies. What do you make of that?

Yes, quite true - 30 seconds warming with a hair dryer and using a scalpel blade you can prise the digitiser carefully off the LCD screen.
The 3M tape makes it easy to replace the front glass but does allow dust to collect between the two layers.
anyone knows how to glue - paste the digitizer on the new LCD? I can't find 3M tape with the shape of a Sensation, only for different models. So I need to cut some parts, but that will follow in a lot of dust between the two parts after a few months.
Is there a way to occur this?
hi guys just put new digitizer on me desire s. only the very top part dnt work, im hoping its a faulty digitizer, but when i plug it into motherboard that connection has the cream and black plastic on it.
some of the black plastic has broken away ,
so im wondering would that effect it? is it a replaceable part?
Hi All,
I've seen this question asked but haven't found a clear answer.
Could someone confirm whether or not the digitizer and the LCD are bonded together on the Sensation?
If so is it worth the risk to try and replace just a shattered screen and save some money or should I go ahead and buy a front assembly (digitizer+LCD) to be safe?
Thanks

Well that was fast, clear and concise! Thanks.
So when the hereunder item's description specifies "pre-bonded" (under 'package' or in the page title) it's basically bulls***?

I would say so, check YouTube, there are some videos quite clearly showing that they are not bonded together.
To save you searching, one of them is this:

Right, so it seems indeed. Although those videos never show you the result after putting it all back together.
I guess the only remaining advantage to buying the "pre-bonded" unit is to avoid having to fiddle with trying to have zero fingerprints and/or dust particles between the two when reassembling...?

To buy the pre bonded just for the dust free digitalizer

I've had a Sensation apart to replace just the LCD piece. It was a huge pain in the butt to get the glass off the LCD. They are glued together with some pretty strong glue.
It's possible that the advertisement you cited just means they are already glued together when they say "pre-bonded".
fixed lcd
bought on ebay and replaced my LCD myself 2days ago. The LCD is bonded more strongly to the shell and the digitizer ontop of it meaning you have to separate them any way to change as the digitizer will comes of its self. They even have separate cables to the main board. The glue isnt that stong, slow careful lifting it with the plastic tool kept things undamaged, so i didnt use a heat gun as too mch risk of oveheating the still good digitizer. I love my screen now , dead pixels smack in the middle were driving me nuts!! now just to fix my wifi issues....
Right so they ARE bonded!
Problem is, my digitizer is really badly shattered. So badly that a couple tiny fragments have come off when swiping the screen, leaving the LCD exposed. So if they're indeed "glued" together, won't I be taking a risk trying to remove all those glass fragments from the LCD in hope of reusing it (the LCD, that is)?

So what you are saying is that even if I buy a new front assembly (LCD + digitizer) I will have to separate them anyway to put it back together?? That seems odd...
BTW, where did you buy your parts?

I meant that digitizer is glued to the lcd but more lightly than LCD to body. Therefore when disassembling the digitizer comes of on its own as the glue is not strong enough to pull the LCD from body together with it. They are not bonded together as strong as samsung phones. Only bonded with not so strong glue along a small strip on the edge of digitizer; the area with black coat underneath. Taking a look at the older LCD, actually there is this sticky tape that maybe separating the two, the tape sticks to the LCD wraps it around and the tape glued to the body underneath with the digitizer on top of the tape. just carefully remove the digitizer parts, not as bonded together as you may think. if your carefull you wont need to replace both.
Bought the LCD on ebay.

Cracked the glass on my Photon Q, so I ordered the replacement screen a few minutes ago. From reading reviews it looks like you need a special adhesive tape. Searching online for PQ screen adhesive I've only found listings on eBay from China. Anyone know where I can buy this from a US seller? Don't want to wait weeks for tape to fix my phone.
Thanks

Guess it wasn't.. Well it's crap now. Replaced the digitizer then went test. Touch input worked but ear speaker didn't WTH. Took it all apart and made sure the ear speaker was properly mounted, went to test again... Touch and power isn't working WTF. Took it all apart, cleaned the digitizer and made sure all ribbons were snug... Same result!
So I gave up. I'll have to get a new Photon since there's no new qwerty androids or jolla phones.
