Do you see any cracks on the digitizer (Touch Glass). Also does touch works? If your touch works that means your digitizer is fine and you only need to change LCD screen.

Air Bubble Inside of Screen

I recently bought a used HTC One S. Its in great shape and I've only had it for a few months. A few days ago I noticed an air bubble on the left side of my screen. At first I thought it was a crack or a scratch but the glass on my phone is fine. It keeps getting larger and I don't have any money for a new phone at the moment so I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or knows how to fix it?

Is it under the screen protector and not the screen itself perhaps?

I don't have a screen protector on my phone. Its in the screen its self :crying:

I used to see this on the old acclaims a lot. Best bet is a blowdryer to reheat the glue under the digi. Let it cool slowly though or it can crack (though it's unlikely)
Otherwise it'll need a new digitizer

I've tried this because I saw it on a form for one of the older iPhones and it made it worse!! I'm not really worried about anymore. Guess I'll have to wait for my upgrade later this year

I have the same issue .. just started for me... last year my broken screen had been replaced...

Theoretically this will occur when the digitizer is getting apart from the screen. As you may know, the screen we see it's composed from several layers glued together. The digitizer is the last layer, the one we touch and transmit our touches to the OS. This is also the part that usually gets broken (if the shock wasn't too big ofc to break the actual LCD screen).
You could go to a service, they are used to replace such parts and they could glue it back. It might be possible that your device had the digitizer replaced in the past and it was not properly glued as it have been initially in the manufacturing plant and that's why you have the issue

Test if digitizer is broken.

I think this is the right section to post this question. If not, please warn me.
Recently I droped my phone (Sony Xperia J) and broke the LCD, then I turned it on to check if I had just broken the LCD or if the digitizer was also broken.
When I turned it on, the image was alright (despite the huge cracks on the LCD) but when I tried to insert the SIM pin, the digitizer seemed to be not working: when I first pressed the screen, instead of detecting (let's say) the digit "4" it detected the digit "9". I tried to clear that wrong number but apparently the digitizer couldn't detect any other touch.
Is there any way to check if the digitizer is broken? I was thinking about removing the LCD and trying to phisically test the digitizer by turning the phone on again and directly touch the digitizer.
Do you think that's a good idea?

You probably have problem with touch screen if the digitalizer is ok. So you just need to change touch screen.
Good Luck!

Well, I opened the phone and removed the LCD. Replaced everything and turned the phone on without the LCD. The image is 100% ok but when I tried to press something (directly in the digitizer) nothing happened. Does this mean that I have to replace the digitizer or does the digitizer need the LCD to work properly?
For the record I noticed a tiny scratch on the digitizer, probably made by the broken LCD.

LCD is digitalizer, glass top part is that shows/received touch so if lcd is working you just need to replace the glass

Oh I was confusing the two terms. Anyways, does that mean that in order for the touch to be recognized I need the glass? As I said, I directly touched the digitizer (the LCD as you said) and didn't got any response.

That's correct, that's why it's called touch screen.

Ok, thanks a lot for your help.
Just one more question. How fragile is the LCD? Because when I was trying to test it, I could see that there was two tiny scratches, but one of them was deep enough for me to feel the protrusion. Do you think that can be a problem?

Ok, in my ignorance I touched the LCD this time in order to check if it detected my fingers but I won't do it again
I'm gonna clean it with some dry cloth and then replace the LCD.
Thanks again for your help.

display rainbow with little pressure

hi guys ive noticed that when typing on the display without much pressure i get a rainbow affect only for the time im applying pressure just wondering does anyone else have this problem or am i developing a hardware problem
its a bit like applying pressure on my laptop display with not much force

Are you using a screen protector? If you are, is it possible the protector is not sitting right against the screen?
I have had two idol 3 phones and I didn't notice any rainbow affect on either phone.

ya i had a glass one installed removed it and still the same so thinking it maybe faulty

I used both phones with a glass protector and not problems with or without the protector.
Sounds like the top glass is not fully bonded to the lcd.

didnt notice it when i got it new so think its a newish fault lol do you think its worth trying to get a repair or will it not really cause any future problems

I would get it checked out asap. Who knows, it may be a sign of future problems.

Looks like screen problem

need something confirmed about digitizer crack and touch screen functionality

so i just wanted to confirm something just to make sure theres no scamming going on. a relative of mine sent a phone with a cracked glass screen to a repair store online, they said that after they took the glass panel off that they saw some cracks on the digitizer. they continue to say that if they put the new glass panel on that you will see the cracks from the digitizer. also, they say that the touch screen will still work despite the cracks, it will just be a cosmetic issue with the new glass on.
now, ive done phone repairs before and i always thought that if a digitizer is cracked in any spot, that the touch response will not work. the phone worked fine before it was sent off, it was glass that was cracked that needed to be repaired. what im thinking is this guy made a mistake when repairing it, or just try to overcharge us. is this guy trying to pull a fast one or is he right? the phone is a sony xperia xa ultra

Each of the scenarios are equally possible. Its,the kind of situation where you're gonna have to make your own personal judgement of whether to trust them or not. You have nothing to go on to prove whether he messed it up or not.
Either way, whether he messed it up or not, it will have to be replaced now, whether you pay him to do it or pay someone else.

well the main question i wanted answered was if a digitizer was cracked, would it still work. from my knowledge, if a digitizer has even the slightest damage, the whole touch panel will not work

Typically, it would render the digitizer non-functional but the odd fluke is known to happen where it works fine.
I have an S2 that I found in a parking lot after being run over multiple times with a severely busted screen, with some of the glass missing completely, but the display and touch functionality still work just fine.

yeah, i personally have never had cracked a phone and have the digitizer break as well. i feel like something funny is going on but they are just going to pay the repair store the money so she can get her phone back. thanks for your reply
