One Plus One Touchscreen - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I want to buy a "defective" OPO for 100$. The sellers told me that a part of the touchscreen (about 13%) is not working. He says it works every once in a while but it is really rare. I was wondering if I would be able to fix this trough a Kernel or a ROM update (he runs CM12S) or if I need to change the screen completely. The guy says he had the phone for 2 months and he hasn't try to fix it because he has an iPhone (LOL)
Thanks for your answers!

Don't think how low u have to pay for opo but must think is it usable
Nearly 20% users complaining about touch issues like
1)ghost touch
2)unresponsive screen etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/ghost-touches-invisible-finger-t2832822
OPO tried to solve this by firmware updates but they still not fully able to manage it
New firmware with improved kernel solved lot more touch issues but draining battery a lot for most people's
So its u r decision buy or not to buy but three possibilities are
1) buy if u don't care about u r money if problem not got solved
2)buy if screen problem is not due to any hardware issues because if yes u have to replace whole screen which cost 200$
3)if its software problem then u should know most of android rooting/ flashing /custom roms/custom kernels to recover problems
If its software problem then these are some solution

I bought an oneplus one with a broken screen on ebay.
Bought an replacement display with frame and some cheap tools for 50€ on aliexpress.
Replaced the broken screen + frame withing one hour. It was my first attempt to open up a smartphone ever.
Only problematic part was the earpiece, which I almost destroyed.
And also the lower antenna (which is fixed with double sided adhesive tape) bent a little bit.
But besides that it was very easy to dismantle the Oneplus One and to replace the screen/frame combo.
Compared to my other One the new screen looks absolutely identical. Only the earpiece grille is slightly different.
So. My conclusion. If your are able to unscrew a smartphone and are not completely lacking fine motoric skills, you can have a cheap Oneplus One. Watch the tutorials vids on youtube and the photos on ifixit.
cheers!
Edit:
Ah and yes. With my One the screen was shattered and not working.
So I have to agree to my previous speaker. It could also be some other part of the hardware not working. It's always a risk. But I assume, that by replacing the whole screen/frame, probably the digitizer problems should be solved.

I also wanted to mention that I also experienced ghost touch issues with my first Oneplus One.
Thats why I orderd a replacement screen in the first place. Then, in the meantime, until the display arrived, Oneplus released a firmware update and my ghost touch issues vanished.
But. I never had parts completely not responding on my screen. It was "only" a ghost touch issue.

i have it
Hey guys, i finally bought thé phone and the u, thé j and the n keys works 1 out of 10 times. Si it is not completely broke. How tout dix that?

Download YAMTT from play store. Test if you can paint everywhere on the screen.

yamtt
no I can't there is a small bar on the right that is not working

Probably a broken digitizer. I.'ve never read of anybody fixing this with a Software update. On the other hand, I'm not an expert...

my LCD screen cracked while in my pocket!

I bought my HTC S710 just 5 months ago, and my LCD screen cracked while in my pocket!
Did anyone has such a problem?
Is this problem common with this phone?
Do you know if warranty is valid for this damage?
Not a common problem, seems like you would have put too much pressure on it or bumped it against something. I've sat on mine after forgetting it's in my back-pocket, but I keep the LCD inwards and have had no problems.
You probably won't get it warrantied, but it's worth a shot.
@beijmanli wtf!
@SAHILISTHEBEST yeah your device needs to go for service.
and no its not common, i have dropped my device couple of times but not a single scratch yet. I have a scratch guard film on the screen.
yes, i've found in other forums also that this has now become a common problem for VOX and many users have complained about this matter. I think that since this is a manufacturer's technical defect and the Company should take the matter into consideration as this damage is caused not due to mishandling. the below mentioned url proves the same:
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/1120701/HTC+S710+-+LCD+SCREEN+CRACKES?t=anon
Had the same thing happen to me, basically my fault (screen turned out)
If you have it in your pocket, turn the screen inward and you have a lot less problems
Yes the display is a bit touchier because its so big. (for a phone) its up to the user to be carefull I doubt you'll get it serviced free, although the trend to "not my fault, all your fault" is clear

I felt amazing when i saw that no physical damage is caused to the housing or any other part. The screen cracked by itself within the housing.
It seems there is some problem with the internal structure of the phone. It cant resist too much pressure i guess.
Hope HTC manufacturers understand this problem soon.
Well in my case it was just a bit too much pressure on the center of the screen, this can happen easily, by hitting the corner of a table for example. You wouldn't see an effect on the housing sind your pants would stop any scratches etc.
Lesson is: Always put the phone with the display to your leg/arse/whatever, just don't let it face outward.
New Screen + Fitting!

thanks Voxer,
The manual was really cool n helpful.
I called the HTC Authorised service executive in India n told him the problem. I told them that since the damage was not due to mishandling and my screen broke by itself. they exaxmined my mobile and after makingsome more calls to some of HTC officials, they agreed for the screen replacement of my phone and allowed me a discount of 40% on the new screen.
this link helped a lot:

HTC Sensation Screen replacement

Hey guys, New to the HTC sensation threads (its my Girlfriends phone)
Got her this phone about 6 months ago - 1 week after having it she dropped it and broke the digitizer anyway i got that fixed at my local phone shop with aftermarket digitizer - it worked well but you could tell it was not genuine.
anyway the other week i dropped it and broke the lcd screen yet the digitizer is fine and the phone is still 100% useable - except the display looks awful.
Does anyone know if this is an easy fix, is it worth fixing myself or taking it to the phone shop - Im embarrassed to go back and explain how it has broke again lol.... But i need to get it fixed, Im so close to having my wang removed by my girlfriend.
I was wondering whether or not HTC themselves would repair it ? and maybe replace the digitizer too, I dont mind paying the extra £££ for genuine parts and to be fixed by genuine HTC repairmen..
Any ideas how i can get out this mess ??
sorry for the long post.
Thanks
Off course HTC will repair it, but it'll take longer and probably charge you a lot more than what you can it fixed for.
Out of curiosity do you/your girl not put the phone in a case or something?

Haha, no i did not.. But as soon as i get it fixed im gunna invest in a bulletproof / bombproof carbon kevlar box and keep it locked inside it !!!
Was it bought through a carrier or sim free? Could always take it to your carrier and see what they suggest, although they're not normally the cheapest, but at least it should get done properly.
Yeah i got it through vodafone, I think i will give them a call and see what they say.
I was considering taking out insurance, then in a few days call them and tell them its broken, This is risky.... what do you think the odds are with me getting away with it ?
Do you think they would notice the aftermarket digitizer ? It is an exact replica with HTC on it....
these damn phones are so fragile.... I miss the old nokias
EDIT: Seen this and am tempted to get it and fix it myself..... http://www.lingosbox.com/product_info.php?language=en&currency=GBP&products_id=4769

No, you won't get away with it, and it's dishonest, anyway. Don't make yourself a criminal over a cell phone.
Now, that being said, check Ebay. There are lots of vendors in the UK and elsewhere (lots here in the US) that sell replacement screen kits, many of which include instructions and tools.
If you're handy with small tools and careful, you can do this yourself for a fraction of what it will cost you to have it done. I learned this when my kid's iPod battery died some years ago. They're not user replaceable, and Apple wanted some outrageous amount to do it, plus you had to send it away. I found a guy on line that sold batteries with tools and directions, and in 20 minutes, she was good as new.
Pays to do it yourself.

I totally agree with you !! i do not want to result to fraudulent behaviour... BUT, i dont want to pay approx £80 for parts and make the whole situation worse by possibly making more damage.
BUT i also dont want to pay approx £150 - £200 thinking i could of fixed it for much less by doing it myself.
I am good with stuff like that and am very gentle and careful..... but i dont believe in myself lol
I recently replaced mine. Its not too terribly hard to do. But you have to get it just right. Currently the digitizer is a bit slow and unresponsive at time but I think i didnt get it in there completely right. So I'm going to dissaimble is again today and get it suck in better and see of that helps

Since the Sensation screen is made by two different manufactures is it possible to mix and match them or do you have to replace the screen with the same one with phone came with? I have a Sensation that needs a LCD that I have not taken apart yet. Im wanting to get the better screen but im not sure if I can just put the better screen in it if thats not what it came with in the first place.

Well it's much better to replace it with the same display just to be sure it's going to work. There's also a side by side comparison of the Sharp and Acer (AUO) displays
That said, you can check what panel you have using the instructions on this thread:

The display on my phone is completely destroyed so I cant use terminal emulator to look it up :-(
EDIT: I was doing some research on the part numbers on the back of my screen and I found this thread...
http://pdaclub.pl/forum/sensation/dziwny-kurz-pod-dotykiem/
Post #8 has my same part number as mine (74h02057-00M) listed and in the same sentence AUO. So I have to assume it had the AUO screen which kinda sucks.

Ill let you all know how it turns out....
Well I got the screen and digitizer from the link above today. Installed it and its perfectly fine. No lag anywhere, registers touch like the stock one did. The LCD panel seems to be the same quality as the AUO panel but thats fine with me since im pretty sure this phone came with the AUO from the factory. If you do decide to replace your screen and digitizer i suggest getting them as separate pieces. Having them attached to each other made it sorta difficult to get back together cleanly.

well the day after i got it fixed i knocked it off the side onto tiled flooring, it cracked the lcd but not the digitizer... so weird lol
anyway since then i have had some signal issues with my provider, they have established that the handset is faulty, they are collecting it to repair it.
I still havent had the screen fixed so im just going to see what happens when they go to repair it, Maybe they will think they broke the screen and fix it before returning it to me. Or maybe they wont.... if thats the case i will argue with them that it was fine before they took it away from me
after all, they must have 100's of these phones in boxes gathering dust in their warehouse(s) so a little arguing and im sure i will get it fixed / replaced.
Shhhhh Moms the word !!!

[Q] P920 with cracked glass

Guys;
I cracked my touchscreen while drunk by dropping it on the floor then stepping on it.
It's not bad , just a crack on top of it the touch screen works pretty much but it bothers me.
I found replacements on ebay , there are also originals and there are also ways to repair the cracked glass...
I don't wanna get the chinese counterparts , touchscreen is an important equipment , i don't know but it can delay my writing or something.
The originals are too expensive.
Haven't really tried repairing a cracked glass...
What would you suggest i do and why ?

hi,
i had a big crack on my screen, so that it didnt work at all. similar to your situation i bought a replacement on ebay. however, i wanted to try one of these cheap, non original things at first. 1 week later i had it and after i read the instruction (readable english ) the installation was easy. works fine till now and even if not, you can just send it back

Yes i can send it back but it takes time because i live in Turkey... plus the return shipment is a lot.
So have you had any trouble writing , was it any different from the original touchscreen , was there any latency ?
Was the screen spotless and slippery like original ?
I think with just a little more information i may buy the replacement ones...
Thanks...
i have also cracked screen. i want to change it with cheape one from ebay but also with frame ( front housing) so it is glued together it is little bit easier to change =) for price 32 dollars =)

[Q] Digitizer not working after reassembly

Hi everyone.
So i tried to replace the cracked screen in a Moto G (I just replaced the display+digitizer+glass module). After the reassembly everything worked except for the digitizer (it worked before when i tested it). I tried to reconnect the digitizer connector (the tiny one which connects the digitizer controller to the display connector ) multiple times, but nothing worked. Has anyone faced a similar problem before?

Hi, I have exactly the same problem.
In my case, it's my second screen, so I've already eliminated the screen+digitizer and the cable connector like the origin of the problem.
Has anyone any idea?
Thanks!

Bad news. My digitizer cable is damaged. On both original phone and the donor. I was not careful enough: the closer inspection showed it. I am going to order another screen or a donor phone (like a used verizon one or something) and try it again.
So the thing is that the video on etradesupply shows it wrong. You have to unstick the tape covering the digitizer cable connector, then unsnap the clicky thing, and only after that should you unplug the screen master cable (the one that goes into your PCB). Otherwise, it is very easy to damage the touchscreen controller cable (the digitizer one).
I really hope you have a different problem and there is still hope for your phone :crying:

Hi Ening,
How do you check the veracity of the cable connector failure? I think I have the same problem than you, but I haven't a way to check it 100%, because I haven't anyone who can lend other screen to me, and the original screen it's now completely destroyed.
I suppose that I will have to send back the screen to the seller and ask for another.
Thanks anyway!

I suppose that I will have to send back the screen to the seller and ask for another.
Thanks anyway!

Hi, i gave the phones to a guy in a repair shop and he looked at it through a magnifying glass
agnobi, I have exactly the same problem, but tested several digitizers and same problem
see my post here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/black-screen-backlight-ok-screen-t2803431
did you solve your problem ?
Me too
The new digitizer doesn't work and now the 'old' digitizer dosn't work anymore
Everyone has found an solution ?

The flex cable part that connects the controller to the rest of the cable is very thin and easy to damage, you've to be very careful or you're gonna screw it (like the OP did).
ofcourse there is a slight possibility that it came defective, but you should have checked it right when it arrived. So far I haven't seen any incomparable ones, but who knows.....

I think there is something else.
On my side, the 3 digitizers (old one + 2 new) give me same result.
The I think the problem should be on the mainboard or a hardware/software blocking ... or maybe something we didn't re-assemble well
and little question : what is the role of this part (see my photo) ???

Probably the last :>
That thin metal plate makes connections on the back of the PCB (its mounted right between the display and the PCB) and I think it connects to mass.I got no idea what it's role is (prolly its a fitting or some sort of heatspreader).I've assembled one phone without it and it worked just fine, but I've put it back afterwards, just for the sake of being complete
and your digitizer works fine ?
I think also that the issue comes from the connection PCB-patch or as you said software digitizer blocking.
So I 'll try to flash a retail rom to see it .... ...... The digitizer still not working

I've replaced 9 digitizers on 9 different moto g's.None of em had any kind of these problems.This leads me to the conclusion that you've done something wrong.
The worst I had is 1 dead pixel on one of the new displays ( I'm using digitizer+display+frame assembly ).

very interesting your experience ...
the strange thing is that we are several persons to have the same problem and the same symptoms ...:silly:
I've unsnapped the connector as they said in the video of etradesupply...
Maybe I've forgotten something.... you have followed this video ?
Edit :My screens are working except for the digitizer.

I've also reflashed a stock ROM ... no change
so it's not software/firmware related ...
so it's hardware
Never, all worked the first time and afaik they are still working fine.Gotta mention that the ones I`ve used are chinise ones, but look and feel like the original, even the glass feels like gorilla glass 3, altough I don't believe that's the case :>
I have a huge scratch down my screen and the local mobile repairing guy quoted £55 to replace.. I thought this was a bit steep.. I expect him to use real gorrila glass 3 @ that price
Sent from my XT1032 using XDA Free mobile app
finally I've just fix my digitizer
It was 1 or 2 pin twisted on the right so there wasn't a contact between the PCB and the patch....
denseye I think your black screen can be fixed, you may see the pin on the left...." Bon courage " PM me if you have questions....
I've got now my earpiece which crackle but I thinks I'll not try to fix it....
Good night
You mean a pin on the pcb connector where thé LCD câble goes? (Français???)
A pin means a spindle which links the patch(LCD câble) to the PCB.There are many pins which compose thé connector.

About "New" oneplus one

Hi to everyone, after a sad story with a LG Nexus 4 that i bought from a guy i am back to my old (and dear) Galaxy Nexus but now, he is totally messed up... i can't use it anymore..
So i am planning to buy the oneplus but i read on the internet about the annoying touch screen bug (that is a hardware bug, so i think it is very hard to fix with a update or whatever).
At this point, the question is: the new stock (I mean the new production line of smartphone) of OnePlus one, still have this bug ?
I love oneplus one, i really love this phone.. great designe, great components, great price but i am very scared about the touchscreen bug!
Also, i won't wait the new oneplus becouse it will be for sure pricier that the One and it will be released theorically the last 3 month of 2015...
Thank you for any suggestions
A presto

I bought 1+1 last week and i dont have this touchscreen issues, afaik only minority of users are concerned by this problem, for me its working smooth on stock and custom roms [emoji106]
I did not have the touch screen issue for almost half a year. As far as I can explain it started happening when the temperature outside got warmer, even if it is much colder again, the issue persists.
I need to flash the new Ak kernel with the new touchscreen firmware, which has been released yesterday and check if the problem still exists....
But what I wanted to tell you is that I did not have the touchscreen problem first.
Many thanks.. i am very near to buy it it...
Today there is a spicel price sale but actually i can't place order

Have bought my 1+1 about 3 weeks ago. No problem with touchscreen. There's no yellow band on the screen. Everything works pretty well! Lollipop is awesome! One thing you should know. If you're buying a white version, it's a little bit slippy and also quickly scratches and gets dirty.
Why would you buy this bug riddled phone at this point?

What bugs are you talking about?
Actually there is only one "bug" at touchscreen but is not a default bug and they can fix it in warranty.
For many people the touchscreen issues might be caused by a hardware problem. If it really was software after more than a year it should have been solved.
I wanted to let you know that it seems the touchscreen problem is gone after latest CM 12.1 nightly with integrated touchscreen firmware update.

Don't take notice, it isn't riddled with bugs. I've had two for almost a year and have zero issues. Most "bugs" are caused by people who don't know what they're doing.

I have 2 OnePlus, One is bought for almost a year till now, I think it's the first batch one, China version, it does have yellow band issues, but no touch screen issues at all, and the second OPO I bought early this year is Nov 2014 batch, no touchscreen issues or yellow band problem, so I guess the problem has been solved in new batch production line.
I bought the one+1 the last november and I had this two bugs: low volume in/out (solved), yellow band. I also suspect that the display quality degrades over time, compare with the other phones I had. Anyway it's a 300 $ phone, well suppported by android development. My opinion, the value for money is still excellent.
I got my OPO second hand in November '14 and its been great. Don't have the yellow screen issue and dont have any touch issues. At the end of the day which phone hasn't suffered from a software/hardware problem at some stage or another. And I'm talking about the big flagships, you check their forums and you'll see people complaining about this and that. Not all users have problems, sometimes its just luck of the draw. I can understand peoples frustrations with trying to return the device and/or dealing with Oneplus customer services. Hopefully the latest firmware update that seems to have been merged in the latest nightly will fix issues for people with problems once and for all.
Honestly i think a properly firmware update could fix an little hardware problem.
Anyway i got my new 1+1 and i can't see any problem atm, no yellow band, lound volume, touch works great, i really hope for the best becouse for 299€ is soo worth!
I bought my OnePlus One in March 2015 and I unfortunately got the touchscreen bug. I have since been issued an RMA and I am waiting for them to receive my phone, and then I should be sent a replacement after that. I really hope I don't get the touchscreen issue again.

I'm pretty sure my touchscreen problems were triggered from a hot day too (quite rare in the UK). When I receive my new phone, ill make sure to keep it out of direct sunlight!
There is no touchscreen bug.
