Ok so i walked into my desk at work last week and cracked the LCD - i had already puchased a new digitiser as my screen was getting pretty scratched up so i figured i'd simply buy a new LCD and take the phone and new parts round the corner to my local phone shop who were happy to replace my screen and return the next day.. great.
Fast foward and now i have a BIG problem. The new LCD doesnt seem to work once the phone has booted. SO, when you turn the phone on you get the usual windows boot screen with the rom info in red in the bottom corner (im using Monx's latese 6.5 rom). After that though it all goes Pete Tong, when then alignment wizard starts the screen goes nuts, flickering like an old TV and not displaying a steady image. The guys at the store say the phone is damaged from the knock to the screen however before I did a hard reset and removed my sim and SD card the parts of the LCD that were still able to display the today screen etc were showing everything correctly and flicker free and even allowed me full touch control with the stylus.
I basically need some advice from people who know a thing or two about replacing Touch Pro screens. Despite what the shop guys say i suspect that my screen is not compaitble with my Touch Pro which is originally a UK Vodafone but i now live in Canada and got the new LCD from the States. The person who sold me the LCD said it was compatible with all Touch Pros & Diamonds, but then he would say that wouldnt he!
My options are either buy another LCD and hope that does the trick or bite the bullet and get a new crappy canadian contract and a new handset. please help me ive tried the search and cant find anything that helps me and im desperate for a solution!
Cheers
Its a LCD issue what you got, my guess is that the person at the store either gave you a faulty one or its a duplicate lcd,also cleaning the LCD connector with alcohol would be a good idea.Its very rare that in the Diamond/Touch Pro category the connector to get damaged.
Hi Folks,
Sad news, I dropped my Play the other day and cracked the glass cover on the screen. but still the touch screen works fine. So I decided to buy glass replacement on Amazon and fix it myself. After juggling with the new screen whole night, only more problems occurred.
First is that the new screen won't boot into Android. The phone starts up and displays fine but it stayed at "Sony Ericsson" screen for a long long time without moving onto "Android" screen. I thought it was because Verizon, as a control freak, has a hardware lock on the glass (the glass does have electrical connection to the mb.) So when I swapped back the old screen, the phone worked fine.
So the first problem is that OEM glass don't seem to work on Verizon phone. Is that possible? or is there a way to bypass that?
Then the big issue occurred after trying put the new screen on for the second time. It displays only white noise like screen and seemed to stay that way.
Now I am like OMFG. The whole phone just died on me. Does anyone know what caused this messed up screen? what is the best way to fix it?
Thanks a million!
My Nexus One took quite a nasty spill last year. At first I could see lines under the screen and didn't think much of it, but as the day when on the pixels started to bleed more and more until the whole thing went black.
After that I got a Galaxy S phone and am still using that as my primary. However, I've gotten the sudden urge to resurect my Nexus.
Anybody know where I can get a decently priced quality replacement screen? Any guides on replacing it? I think I can figure it out on my own but a guide never hurts
I used www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-One-Teardown/1654/1 successfully today. Replaced digitizer so it will be 99% the same. Not sure about screen though
Replacing the screen isn't much different than replacing the digitizer. There are also multi-part video tutorials on youtube on how to do it.
Just make sure that you get the right type of screen. There were two types of screens for our phones. The SLCD and the AMOLED. Google can help you determine what type of screen you have in your phone. And ebay is a good place to find new screens.
I have broken my screen on year ago. I have bought a new screen in japan. And change it by myself. One hour to disassemble my n1 and one more to reassemble it.
I can retrieve the shop if you want.
Hi.
I have a yellow spot on the display. It seems to be the same like many people had it on the HTC One X. I had it too, on the One X.
I read, it was something with some glue in the display.
Cheers
factory warranty covers it so bring it back and if its whitin 28 days of purchase, demand a new sealed box as consumer right entitles you on.
That looks like a manufacturer defect right there. Get it exchanged ASAP.
Display Issues
Forgive me, but what's wrong with These Displays These days? Or am I doing something wrong?
I've been having Trouble with spots on Displays for years.
When it came out I bought a HTC One X. After a month there appeared a yellow spot on the left edge. I brought it back, waitet for 1,5 months and then became back my device with a replaced Screen and battery.
After another month i got again a yellow line... It was always the same, at first there is a slightly yellow line on the left or right edge, after a while it gets darker and darker and turns violet/Brown.
I returned my htc one x 3 times, after the 4th attempt to repair i became the Money back.
After that i bought a HTC One X Plus. Same Story! I returned it 3 times for the same Screen issues, in the end after another year struggling I became again the Money back.
Then i bought a Xperia Z2: Believe it or not, again same pain 3 attempts to repair and then Money back.
The good Thing is, I always got the Money back. But i buy a device for using and working with it, not for having this Trouble.
In december 2014 i bought a Xperia Z3. Yesterday I noticed a yellow line on the left edge ...
In the meanwhile i bought a Surface Pro 2 also... and had the same Trouble, I had to send it in because of yellow lines ("just" one time, for now...)
What is going wrong here?
Its probably the glue, I guess you are just very unlucky. I went through two One Xs and luckily no yellow spots, in fact I have never gotten any device with that. Just get a warranty replacement, nothing else you can do. Its pretty bad on your phone, I believe its UV cured glue.

Bad luck, dude
It seems that yellow spots do happen in some of the phones manufactured in a certain period of time and cause mainly by the OCA(Optical Clear Adhesive) glue between the glass and digitizer
Thanks for your replies, i'm gonna return the phonre for repair again.
Could this Problem be connected with heat issues? All the Devices ( well, except maybe the xperia z3) could get very hot.
Yeah that can also cause that, do you live in a very hot area? I went to med school in a place where it commonly reached 45C/113F+ in the summer and I still never got this issue with my LG Optimus 2X, HTC One X and HTC Butterfly
Well no, it's not that warm here, it barely gets to 30C in Summer, and I got the issues also in winter... But my htc's and the z2 were itself good heaters
Did you solve this issue ? Did you need to replace screen ?

Yeah, unfortunately I had to replace the screen.
Actually they replaced the screen 3 times and after that (and after quite a bit of fight ) I returned the phone to the seller.
I seem to have some kind of bad luck in that regard, here is my statistic for the past few years:
Yellow spots on HTC One X -> screen replaced 3 times
Yellow spots on HTC One X + -> screen replaced 3 times
Yellow spots on Sony Xperia Z2 -> screen replaced 3 times
Yellow spots on Sony Xperia Z3 -> screen replaced 3 times
Yellow spots on Microsoft Surface Pro 2 -> screen replaced 1 time, it's yellow again and has to be replaced but I need it for work
And now:
Yellow spots on Microsoft Lumia 1520, have to send it in
I thought that I do something wrong (although I never had these Issues before HTC One X), then a few weeks ago I went to an electronics reseller to take a look at an exposed Surface Pro 3 and saw that picture... Look at that the yellow line on the left edge :silly:
You're very very unlucky mate....
3 different retailers and 5 different devices, with similar/same problems? There's something wrong happening there..

I am having my phone for 8 months now and few days ago I started to notice burns on the upper sides of the display. It is easiest to notice it on white screen even still they are not so obvious but noticeable if you look carefully. So does anyone else have the same problems and is it covered with warranty from HTC coz I bought phone over HTC official site?

+1 i got same thing since one week after used my phone for 9 month !!!! i went htc they said need to replace phone screen also there is no warranty for it ??
Same problem here.. Since I bought the phone online from HK and I am in the Middle East, the warranty is not covered. Such a bummer!
Guess I have to look for after market replacement screens.
Let me know if you find any solution.
This is the ips bleed thingy tons of u11 got, unfortunately it's very frequent with ips panels and many brands don't consider this as a fault unless its too big
