Replace digitizer or stick in adhesive? - HTC Sensation

So I'm new to the sensation community so, hi!
My sensation has a bump on the right hand corner of the digitizer if I hold this corner, the touch screen works perfectly. The problem is, I can't touch most of the phone's sides as it doesn't recognise it (such as selecting tick boxes on settings); however if I hold that corner then use the touch screen it's fine. And am I the only one who has the problem with only 2 touches being recognised? (I think the previous owner tried putting in a wrong digitizer?)
So would I be better of buying a new digitizer or adding some adhesive since I'm not familiar with digitizers...

Hello. i think better will be buy a new module(digitizer+lcd+frame) or only digitizer (if you can replace it, its very difficulty)

Case closed. I used a kitkat rom; and now there's no problems on my digitzer werid huh.
Calibration from hboot shows APT_Too high which refers to a fake digitizer so I used htccalibrate.apk which helped a bit on other roms.
But really and truly I need to buy a new digitizer since It's very buggy.

I have problems with my touchscreen too, sometimes it takes a touch from nowhere, or for example in top of the screen my touchscreen is not working at all, so i can't use "curtain".

Umph this is different to my problem. My problem is that I can't touch the side's of the screen( As in the left side and the right side) . If you are s-off try this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437293) it will recalibrate the screen. If the digitizer is an fake it will show up "TP_ATT always keep in high" (those EL blue sticker digitizers)
The kitkat rom didn't fix my problems but it made it a bit better; or it may just be me. The only explantation I could think of the kitkat rom helping was either mine fingers were used differently or it was missing touch screen drivers.
The HTCCalibrate.zip should be flashed in recovery I've attached it in this post. Then reboot and run the app to do calibration. (contains the .apk but flashes it to system/app)
If none of these work then it's not a software-related problem.
If you want to see what user's have done; refer to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239238

If it is defect, you can replace your touchscreen for low costs. I paid 20 euro's for my new touchscreen. You also need an T6 torx to open your mobile.

Get a new digitizer on eBay, fairly cheap and easy to replace. Can get one to match your housing color. Less than 20 Euro for sure.
thanks for reply back soon..
there is no way to recover my touch screen??
any technical way to recover my touch screen, techies help me out...
I don't seem how you could 'repair' it. I think it is broken or not. Or the connecter is not in the right position. If so you must open up your mobile either way. I think it's best to just replace the touchscreen it also removes the scratches if you have those. And it's very cheap.
thanks cywood.. its not broken, just it stops working..
negaboys , the same thing just happened to me too. I run the tweaking applications here - doing the HD Tweak and Kaz TD2 instructions only. Then rebooted my AT&T Tilt. After the Titl started, the touch screen no longer worked. And when I went into the utilities to undo the changes I had made, but the applications require a touch for you to use them.
I am really stuck.
digitizer
i thinks it is less effort and much easier to replace the touch screen. its called digitizer. if u r in india ull get it for rs300/-. changing it is extremely easy, just google and search for videos on htc screen replacement. it took me just 45 minutes to open my htc and change the screen.

in your case, it will probably be fixed with a hard-reset.

Hi Praveen,
from where u got the digitizer...? was it original?
mine also stopped working two days back. I am in chennai and just heard that HTC has opened a new service centre here so maybe i can try out my luck there.

The hard reset fixed my problem. I also had corrupt files on my microSD card, so I formatted it as well.
Its amazing how many problems that look like hardware issues are actually software/file system issues.
For those who jumped right to "replace the screen" as a solution, I believe you need to rethink your troubleshooting strategy, as you'll convince people to spend time and money performing a fix action that doesn't work.

That is a great program! I've heard of it before, but never thought I would need it. It looks useful for getting screen shots from your mobile device as well.

cant able to bypass alignment screen?

Solution
Okay, I've just had this problem with an HTC Touch, and I think this works with any HTC that has a "digitizer" rather than an all-in-one touchscreen (I think newer phones have digitisers).
I'm not sure if this will always work, but I've just done it - sometimes the inactive touch screen is "broken" because the layers are stuck together (so the phone can't tell where the touch is, hence unresponsive). With mine, I looked at the screen side on and could see a kind of "oily" patch in the light.
The solution is to get masking/gaffa tape - the very sticky brown one. Stick it down on the screen/digitizer and then keep pulling it off - this pulls the layers from each other. I kept repeating this lots before it worked - and in the end I pulled the top layer completely off (I think you should pull from the top of the phone, as the layers need to be attached at the bottom of the screen/digitizer). Once it pulled away, I gently lay it back down (after panicking!!) and hey presto it started working again.
Good luck!

HTC Sensation - Digitizer Replacement - Touch screen unresponsive - Unable to S-OFF -

Hi Folks,
Here is my story.
I have replaced my broken digitizer on HTC Sensation. At that point i was not aware of multiple versions of digitizer's in e-bay & Amazon and i need to select the right one stuff...From this thread
I realized after replacing & touchscreen was unresponsive.
With inputs from From this thread, i tried to RUU, then realized that i have to S-OFF. But in the process of trying to do S-OFF,[touch screen not responding] while connecting to a PC, phone is not detected [May b that i have to select USB debugging option in phone]
So, am struck now & can anyone help me what is the way out now?
Thanks

You might have to reinstall the broken digitizer and root/s-off the phone then replace it... You need the touch screen to do some of the s-off steps...

Hi. can anyone help me to fix my HTC sensation? I buy it with broken digitizer but will still work perfect, and after i change it start to do this problem. Ween i push button to unblock screen don't want to does not want to react instantly, i must move my finger on digitizer about 3-4 seconds to respond normaly. Have you ever encountered this problem? know any solution?
i try to install another room but same problem...
How do you remove the digitizer? Is the heat the front and ply it with a guitar pick the only way to do so? My digitizer ain't broken, but my lcd got wet and I want wipe the stain off.
I have the same problem. what make it worse is that I have cut the ribbon of my old screen. Could anyone help out, if there is other way to do it?
Thanks
Hi there they're is a great instructional video on you tube on how to replace the digitizer on our device, if I remember correctly there is also a video on you tube on how to open and take apart our devices. I have watched the digitizer replacement video and its extremely helpful, advising on exactly how to do the procedure . Go over to you tube and take. Look at the video . I think it will be extremely helpful! Best wishes and hope I've helped!

Have a question related to this (don't wanna start a new thread).
If I want to replace a cracked screen do I need to buy the digitizer, lcd, or both? My screen is cracked but works perfectly fine as usual.
Unresponsive HTC Sensation XE Beats Touchscreen
I'm having same problem, replaced old touchscreen :
PYD V1.1
SW-10 94V-0
E308252 1145
With (? = missing letter or number):
PYD V1.0
B?-10 94V-0
E?082521123
The touchscreen is totaly unresponsive . On top of this I didn't care about the old digitizer
and cut the flex cable, now I'm stuck with an Sensation XE Beats with an uresponsive screen,
if there is a fix arround this I will highly apreciate. :fingers-crossed:
I tried to find exact same touchscreen model than the old one, but can't seem to be found.
Is there someone with the same old digitizer who replaced with other model number that perfectlly work or partially?
There is this fix in an other tread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360638
But impossible to do as touchscreen doesn't respond.
Also could it be possible that the new touchscreen is defekt?
I read in the other post that new touchscreen worked at least partially, this one not at all.
Thank in advance for any answer.

Messed-Up Display

Hello XDA,
My Nexus 5 running CM12 5.0.2 nightly will not respond to the touches anymore infact when I press the power button to activate the display it acts as if someone is touching it randomly messing all the apps that are running and opening and closing many other things.
Furthermore it displays weird and burned lines throughout the screen. It was not dropped, no water went inside the device or anything. If it helps I did install the OTA updates that CM gives us.
I have also attached pictures so you may get a better understanding of my problem.
Thanks in advance.

I hate to be the bringer of bad news - but your screen is toast. Fortunately you can replace the touch and display components all at once.
http://www.amazon.com/Skiliwah-Digitizer-Assembly-Google-nexus5/dp/B00HN0U168
Here is what you need to perform the repairs - and here are the procedures for disassembly.
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Disassembling+Nexus+5+Display+Teardown+-+liquid+damage/32410
Trust me, it's not that difficult. Unfortunately, it's a bit pricey ($60 for the screen and digitizer), nevertheless much cheaper than a new device or sending your device in for repairs.
Rma
Problem Solved
The screen isn't toast, neither is the digitizer. I have 2 of these phones. The parts which cause problems like this are the main board and the ribbon with the USB connector on it, which also attaches the screen & digitizer to the main board. One was showing lines exactly like this, & also no touch. I put a replacement main board in. Works great now. The other, wouldn't even turn on. I put the main board from the first phone in the second one, it still wouldn't turn on. I replaced the ribbon cable, it turns on and perfectly replicates the issue from the first phone. So now, I have one fully functioning LG Nexus 5, and another which turns on with the same problem as yours. This is good, I started out with 2 of them that were useless to me. So, it appears that your display and touch issues are caused solely by a bad main board. A replacement main board costs somewhere around $75. After swapping stuff around, I have 2 bad main boards, 1 bad USB ribbon & 1 working phone of 2. Not bad, not bad at all.

So out of curiosity. First things first
Do u have a case on it and tried with it off?
Do you have a case with a plastic screen protec and or a temp glass. Try removing those some thicker temp glass interferes with operation.
Third. Have u dropped your device?
4th. Are you rooted and made any mods to the system. If no to the cases and glasses and yes to rooting. Try reflashing stock firmware. And then try.
If not rooted and or dropped. Sounds like internal malfuntion. Nothing here will fix that.
U might try looking for a touch sensativity or accsesibility setting or something allong those lines.
What firmware custom roms anything like that?

Well i do have a case, i removed it to check but it still didn't work. I reverted back to stock unrooted. I did drop it and cracked the glass. I had the glass replaced but i didnt noticed the fault until recently. My theory is that as it fell, the connectors on the digitizer came loose.

Then ill have the phone checked out. I really dont believe the digitizer is damaged. The fact that only 2 fingers register may really be because of the connector. Thanks for the help

Realme 5 RMX1911 touch screen sometimes won't respond.

Hi! I would like to ask if this is considered normal for Realme 5 RMX1911 to randomly not respond to swipes or touches? That it needs a second touch or swipe in order for the screen to recognize your finger? I tried using the phone's built-in phone manage component check. as well as 3rd-party screen testing apps. Both don't show any issues. Single and multi-touch functions, no stuck or dead pixel detected.
I think the scratch guard on screen reduces the touch sensitivity.

If the screen was faulty, then the apps I've used should have detected any abnormalities on it.

My issue is somewhat similar to yours. This happens esp. when opening and using the phone after it has not been used for a while. Even when just scrolling thru the apps on the app drawer, there are times that the first swipe up/down won't respond. It requires you to do it the second time. Same thing goes for just clicking or opening an app, regardless if it's pre-installed or user-installed.

Perhaps, but reaching a Service Center is my last option, since I bought my phone online, and getting it repaired via SC would be highly inconvenient (the nearest in my area is 15 kilometers away). That is why I am asking.
Same issue
I also faced similar problems , slightly better after changing from à thick tempered glass to a thinner one. But as I plug in the earphones touch sensitivity goes berserk. Same situation is described by many on official realme forum. Solution, if found, kindly share.
Mine touch working fine...
Sometimes I face hang issue
I also have the same problem the screen some times needs two or more touches to respond, and if the 3.5 mm headphone is connected the touch gets mad it opens apps, videos or pictures during swiping.
Does it be a software problem?
