Hi
I have a Nexus 4 that I dropped a few too many times.
Now part of the screen is unresponsive to touch (and once in a while a get a ghost touch).
I'm about 99.9% sure this is a hardware issue - so my question is:
what do I need to replace? The LCD screen seems to be working fine and also the glass is intact. you could only tell there is a problem by actually using the phone.
Is it the digitizer that is in charge of the touch?
Also if it is - can I replace it myself or should I go to an expert?
I know it is a matter of technical skill, but I heard that replacing the digitizer alone may be too difficult as opposed to other parts.
Thanks for your help
Hi there,

Hi!
I saw few people talking about digitizer replacement on old devices. This discussion about newer devices like Touch Pro2. I have a device which has working LCD but problem seems to be with its touch senstivity. Its not supporting touch on the screen, which as per the original user is a problem of digitizer. He fell the device & got this problem.
May I know if it is a problem of digitizer since everything works completely, all hardware buttons & everything but touch support.
Can you plz help me in this problem, I got the digitizer but dont know how to put it & make the device working.
Any technical help would be highly appreciated.

bump, lolz, seems you guyz are also answer less like me.
Anyone tried disassembling such high end device? or has anyone tried replacing digitizer on his or her end?
I wish to help others in case I get a small bit of information about their personal experience.
Hi Folks,
So I broke the top screen on my SGS2 LTE SGH-I727R (ROGERS)! the Touch screen works and so the display!
First, I'm looking for screen replacement but all I get is replacements for SkyRocket with AT&T logo on them! Please anyone has a reference?
Second, I'm not sure of what I should repair! available screen naming varies with titles that include Digitizer, touch screen, top glass screen, full LCD screen. I'm confused whether to replace whole screen!
Thanks for help in advance!
Anyone please!?
I did the same thing to my phone this past weekend. The screen underneath looks fine, only the top glass is cracked but the phone is still fully functional. I have this exact thread in the Q&A section. After reading/searching, we need the touch panel aka digitizer - see this link for an explanation (we don't need the LCD, which is the expensive part!):

In my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680623 someone said they sell these everyday on ebay for 50 bucks or less, but I sure as h3ll haven't been able to find one. If anyone has gotten one of these in the past or can help us out please let us know!
Ebay has just the glass lens for $20
any luck?
Hey,
I've only had my LTE for about a week..but i was wondering if you had luck changing just the glass, or if it's impossible (as a lot of videos out there lead me to believe?).
I also have the skyrocket..no gorilla glass....
anyone? !
Did anyone ever find a resolution to this? I'm only able to find i727 replacement parts and it is my understanding that the i727r is a different size device..
My MOTO E fell down and glass broken but the display and touch working properly. Please help me with the said issue.
Hi,
There's not much anyone here can do to help you. You'll need to take it to a service center or attempt to replace it yourself. And trying to separate the glass from the digitizer can be extremely difficult and usually damaging, so they are usually replaced together.
Here's a similar thread about this,

Good luck!

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Give this a try:
[Tool][Windows] Control a device with a broken screen. Now with touchscreen support!!
No response in two days, thread closed, thanks.
Dear XDA community...
I've been a passive participant in many of your threads and most of the time I have managed to solve my issues thanks to your replies. Finally i have decided to join you and hopefully also help in some of the cases.
My current issue is a Samsung Galaxy Trend which display and digitizer have been broken. I have easily managed to replace those, both of which were working fine on the first boot. The display once got frozen tho and since that time the only thing i can see is a white snowy (no-signal tv alike) screen with some colorful dots here and there. Replacing the Lcd once again brought no change, so i guess it may be either pcb/ic issue or a software bug. I will try uploading a pic of the display as soon as possible.
I hope someone might have encountered this kind of defect and could help me solve it.
Best regards,
Damian aka Infernaesty.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist the snowy thing is because either the way you have fixed is not right and there is some connection issue to board and display or you may accidentaly damaged glue of Display and board fix which some devices have best thing is to get it repaired by Samsung Official Outlet or in other Mobile Repair Shop has further anything may damage other parts of device
Good Luck !
