broken touchscreen

Hi, i have a qtek 1010 with a broken touchscreen (only the glass) so i can not calibrate with my stylus and would like to know is there any software like PEN IRAZU (very bugy, when using it will change the screen with some garbage) to give and move a mouse pointer on the screen with the buttons.
hello. It is very easy to replace the glass. Just buy the glass to replace it.
thanks for reply, but where i am living there is no spare glass in the market, can you tell me where i can get one?
Thanks
Hi where are you living? I think you should go check ebay.

[Q] Repair i9023 in London?

Hi all,
Does anyone know a place in London where I can repair a broken LCD from a Nexus S i9023?
I'm in Brazil but I will be in London at the end of month and really would like to have the phone fixed. I know here it will be impossible because the phone was never officially sold in Brazil and due the curved glass I will not be able to find a replacement here.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Regards,

[HOWTO] Replace Atrix 2 Touchscreen
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
If you don't want to /can't DIY, the most obvious and the best place is the Motorola service centre in your city but that might be expensive. If you're going to be in Mumbai one of these days, head to Manish Market for cheap repairs. It's inexpensive stuff without any guarantee but at least you save money.
Or better yet, go to the Service Center. When they give you their fat quote, tell them that you can't spend that much. They'll tell you where to go in your city for cheap unofficial repairs.
the ebay link i found in that thread has the bezel in it too, you dont have to glue if you buy that.
you didnt tell if the lcd died too or just the touch glass?
everything works its just that the screen is broken
OP, I'd made a few calls today. The guys will need to see your phone before they can give an estimate.
Nerwork issue with Vodafone
I am facing network issue with Vodafone. Network is going off and coming back for few seconds. Sometimes its working fine but not sure when it will go off. I changed my service provider to Vodafone after I bought the phone and facing this issue with Vodafone only. For all other networks, there is no issue. Dont know how to tackle this. Is there any solution for this known issue, Or I have to change my network or phone ?

[Q] How to choose a touch screen digitizer replacement?

Hello!
I live in Japan but I bought an unlocked phone from Amazon, so it is very hard to find a place to do repairs and I was thinking about doing it myself.
It fell down and the glass cracked (picture attached). The LCD screen is ok, so I just need the digitizer and I want to know what to consider when buying one.
(I have no idea what I am doing )
Please send links to ebay items (or from anywhere that ships to Japan) that you think are ok.
Thanks!!

I know, but the only other option is to send my phone to the US to get repairs, and they won't even ship internationally, so i would need someone in the us to ship it back to me (which i don't have), and i don't know if i would have to pay taxes again, so it is a lot easier to just change the screen myself.
It is a bummer, but what else can I do? (Seriously, I am asking...)
I don't know specifically about the z3 but for most new phones the digitizer is glued to the lcd screen and is a real pain to remove - you have to heat it carefully using heat gun/blow dryer and it's a delicate process of removing the glass from the lcd. In Canada the repair costs around $200 from authorized Sony repair center. Have you called Sony mobile support? I'm sure they have a repair center in Japan that they could direct you to...

I did call them and there is no official Sony repair center in Japan.
It's because in Japan you can't just buy an unlocked phone, all phones are sold by the phone companies, there isn't a Sony store, so only the phone companies provide the repairs, but they won't take mine exactly because it is a unlocked version.
I bought mine unlocked on Amazon because I am going back to my country this year and I didn't want a locked phone.
I got an estimate of 5200 yen to replace the glass, which is around 50 usd, so I am really sad because the price difference between the spare part and the actual repair is very small.

If I may say, $50 is not bad at all considering Sony would charge you to replace the whole LCD unit ($150 - $200)... on the other hand I wish Sony would do what Google does and replace one broken screen free of charge (or so I hear).
Good luck.

[Q] fixing water damaged opo

Hey,
My friend is backpacking in Asia and he dropped his opo into water. Have you heard of any worthy service center in Cambodia, Vietnam or Thailand that could fix his phone?
All the best,
Radek
Saltwater? If the board is gone, then it's cheaper to get a new unit.
Don't know, I think it was more of lake-ish water. thanks for reply.
