Hi xda-team and users...
recently i bought a real cheap i5800 on ebay. it works like a charme. there is only one problem (probably the reason of cheap selling):
there is some dirt under the display :-| i can live with it when i have to but when there is an opinion.
its there any way to open the cover and clean the display?
or can i get another cover (maybe the "dirt" is on the cover-side and not directly on the display)
someday i saw a replace cover for my old 5230. maybe there is one for the 5800 (tried google and ebay but i didnt found one).
another idea was to buy this:
xxxx://cgi.ebay.com/New-Samsung-I5800-Dummy-Display-Mobile-Phone-Toy-/200539469221?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eb11575a5
and try to open it and replace the original phone cover with the dummy parts. i know nothing about touchscreens (i am an electrician but in another sector) thats my problem.
maybe any1 here can help me with some information.
thx in advance.

Just for you to know: i open the case/cover and cleand the touchscreen. It was not that hard as i expected. If any1 need some help with opening i do it again and make some pics for a guide. Just msg me.

yes please, I disasembled 6 screws and REAR (step 4 at service manual) I am affraid of point 5-8 , there are NO steps how to replace front cover what I need :-( ...
- Updated :
After 5+ hours I successfully replaced back cover and front cover too - As service manual is totally GAY and useless for this, I had to experiment - LCD and touch screen does hold to front cover by glue :-( ... and at grey plast what cover LCD and what is the last visible part at GAY useless service manual - you have tu use little force to make it out and dont be affraid of damage it ... .
Small portion on upper half of my touch screen doesn't react properly. When I touch in this area, controls just above/below this area gets activated. My phone is 18 months old and doesn't have any damage on the screen. I am not sure .... Is it a hardware problem or software problem. Please help with a solution.
HTC India service center does not takes the device for repair/checkup just because I bought it in Europe.

its most prob ur digitizer. bout 3/4 of an inch on my screen at the top was "dead" so i baught new digitizer from ebay (only cost me £10 ) and changed it myself (its very easy) and now my screen is perfect. just be sure if u buy one that u get the 3M double sided tape with it so u can stick it to the LCD.
To be sure tho u can always try flash another rom but im 99.9% certain its ur digitizer.
Thanks jmcclue..

FYI: Sometimes whole screen becomes unresponsive and sometimes it clicks apps on its own even when I keep my hands away from the screen. I was looking to buy a digitizer for my device but here in India it costs me about $25/-. I hope I'll get one from HTC India as buying things online in India sucks.

yh same with my digitizer, even tho the top part was dead, it made some other parts act faulty. like on the keyboard i couldnt use the "b" key and now and then randomly click on things. was very annoying. u can get digitizers cheap but id say shipping to india would be quite expensive.
Hello,
This is my screen one month later after I change the digitizer + lcd (bought form china).
I have restored old rom and no changes so it is hardware foult. I think I need newer phone and I will not buy new digitizer again.
Heh
Hi,
I expose my problem , I made my z3 fell and I broke the front glass screen, the touch being out of order, so i got to a fix shop in order they repair my phone..
..1 month later I get my phone, ( they had antenna problem following the change of the screen and touch , .. )
here I am in possession since 2weeks and the screen starts to "take off" I guess cause there are no screws , and a "gap" be created everywhere around the frame , annoying, it is no longer water proof .. ^^
My question: have you a solution to pick the " self" that must t he use?
Sorry for my bad english.
Thank you to you, the community
Best regards.
Hello dear community, my dreadiest fear just realized today :
my X2 decided to make one with the concrete...
luckily, both with my heart, only the touchscreen shattered from this unholy union.
So now I want to replace only the broken thing (less expensive) with a replacement part I found on aliexpress (25 € for those wandering), BUT I was unable to find any clue about the separation of the LCD and the touchscreen :
Are they inextricably bound together as the galaxy S series are ?
Or are they just attached with some tape as any good reparable phone should be ?
I was also wandering whether the screen parts were the same between the X1 and the X2 !
If you have any material showing how to proceed with the separation, and care to share them, I'd be in your dept forever !!
Boujou bien !

The disassembly should be the same as the X1 video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NOG1SISbKw
Yes I have seen this video, but it is only showing the removing of the screen/touchscreen from the phone, not the separation of the LCD from the touchscreen (they are both broken in the video, hence no point to mess with them !)

They are fused together so it's not even worth trying to remove them. 99.99% of the time you won't be successful.
Good to know !
I almost succeeded once, with a heated bench, But I'm not willing to try that again…
Did you have to fix yours already ? Any clue about backward compatibility with the X1 assembly (20 % cheaper !) ?

I imagine they would be the same display assembly but I'm not 100 percent sure.
I Sat on my Huawei honor X2 -Screen is not working Properly
Hello (posted this in wrong area a few weeks ago)
I sat on my X2 GEM-703L under several pillows - bend was 1/2 inch - the top & bottom were 1/2 inch lower than center . I carefully bent it straight (there is a small kink in metal frame right side just above center button. Everything else seems to work beside the screen. *** I will push "4" and the key adjacent character is recognized, also it will type on its own or type 3-5 characters when I only pushed one...
Questions:. Does this sound like touch screen Replacement will fix these issues??? Or is thier additional interface hardware attached with the touch screen, or both?
- I really like that phone - hoping it is not a lost cause...
Thanks for your help

Hello Gary, sorry just saw your post.
I Think this might be fixed by a change of screen, but the problem might also come from the bent frame too.
For the tactile to work properly, and not register wrong input, the screen needs to be grounded and I think also calibrated to the phone caracteristics. If you just replace the screen, it's environment would not be the same as it is suppose to be anymore (frame with a kink) hence there is a risk that the new screen might reacts weirdly, registering ghost input etc... Because the screen might not rest flat on the support frame, and the contacts used for grounding might not be working anymore.
I have a spare screen that I*just bought for mine, unfortunately my problem seems to come from the motherboard, so the screen is useless for me.
If you want to give it a try, and live in the US, pm me !
If you don't want to do it (the screen comes without a frame, so you have to use your old one)
I'm willing to buy your phone to try to save mine ! :angel:
Best,
Quentin.
