Orbit II Replacement Screen - Seeking Help

Hi there,
I have a really desperate problem
I've got an Orbit II bought in Germany and I'm not covered by their guarantee here in Moscow. So, I happened to be a very lucky one and the touch screen of my device is faulty - it has a gray stain on it clearly visible on a white background.
I found a replacement screen for the Touch Cruise here but what the technicians discovered yesterday was that the screen was actually the same, but the cord on that TC screen (stub, whatever) sticks out at a different place than on mine!
Found out one more thing:
Orbit 2 = Polaris 200.
TC = Polaris 100.
Guys, can anyone help me find a source to buy a replacement screen for Orbit 2 in Germany or UK?
Thanks a whole lot in advance!!!

I have posted a request for you over in the german ppc-Welt Forum
Maybe someone gathers some information there. I will keep you updated.

Well, thanks for these links... But I don't want to dismantle anything. I just need to buy the whole touchscreen assy.

But the problem is that the display on the photo is for TC, NOT for Orbit 2
As I said earlier,
but the cord on that TC screen (stub, whatever) sticks out at a different place than on mine!
You see, the cord on this one sticks out in the lower left corner of the screen. But mine is in the middle of the left side.

Interesting because on the posted link,
they state it fits for following devices:
HTC:
Touch Cruise
Polaris
P3650
XDA mini II
O2:
XDA Orbit 2
This would assume, that it is the same for all models
Maybe best is to email them and describe your problem by support form:

If you have changed your display successfull, please post a small how-to.

Too bad... these cnn people seem to be offline and off work.
I wonder if this site has ever been really working...

Did you order one?
http://cnn.cn/shop/p3650-touch-cruise-polaris-c-277_456.html

No, haven't ordered anything yet. But these guys have told me finally that their screen is incompatible with my Orbit but they will try to find one that is
I hope to have news next week.

Will this
Click
be the whole screen or are there two parts (lcd and digitizer).
How do I know, what is broken?
On my device there is a small black spot like ink and a tiny crack from the whole left to right. Display is working fine except the black part, the touchscreen works everywhere.
What parts do I need?
Thank you
JueLue

Well, I was informed by those technicians who disassembled my device that I needed the whole screen. That's the only thing I know.
So, I can't help you here.

I have a dent\scratch in the housing, and multiple scratches on my screen
I'm actually thinking about selling my TC, cause of all the issues, etc.
I wonder if it's worth it to buy the housing and screen replacements...hm
I'm gonna wait until someone here has successfully used one of those kits and successfully dismantled the device.
Knowing me, I would definately destroy it without reading a how-to from someone who has actually done this before

Hello Dimitry N!
Have you got some news for us? Did you get a new LCD screen? And how to replace? Many questions....

I got myself a TC instead.
The Orbit 2 has a Samsung (!!!) touch screen, which is a real piece of ****.
The one on the TC really does have the viewing angle of 180 degrees, as it was advertised.
The Orbit 2's screen - no. When you look at it from the "top", the image on the screen darkens a lot, and vice versa. And the image on the TC screen is a lot crisper! I can tell this by holding the 2 devices together right now!
What a pity! O2 decided to include some nice accessories like the car charger and the car holder, and saved on the screen instead!
So, I will sell my Orbit 2!

Try doing factory reset and check if it's going .
But I think it's a defect , So rush to Sony Service center soon and get the device "Replaced" .
If customer finds a defect in Sony mobiles within a week , then they have a policy to replace the device.

Thank you for your reply but I got it from a local shop.Do you think it can get worth or it may affect my phone ? I have read some posts saying that if it is not annoying you and you can live with it;then don't replace it.I am really afraid this option will be also hard as it was last piece available in the store and I believe it will be hard to replace it ?
PS: it is really so tiny white dot but I don't know if that means something wrong is there or just a small defect ?
and thanx again for your reply

have it replace, asap! that tiny white dot should not be included with the purchase of your unit.
a defect is a defect. if thats the last piece available. ask for a full refund. it could be the last piece because it has already been checked by someone and didn't get it.
btw, have you checked if the box is sealed and opened in front of you?
just my 2 cents.

First of all-thanx for your reply but all I meant that I have checked many stores in my area and they don't have it
So the problem now that I don't want another phone nor a refund.Also I don't trust repair center as they may get it worse !
It really doesn't annoy me but the only question I am worried it can be worse or affect my phone in the future ?
and again-really thank you guys-your community always helpful for android noobs like me :good:

if its ok with you or it doesn't matter you, then its fine.
my point is, of course we bought it with our hard earned money. we deserve to have it defect free.
I believe, it comes with a warranty? if it does goes worst. then have it warrantied

Yes it is really hard earned money but the point I am worried about if it can get worse through the warranty and is it dangerous or a sign of a bigger problem ? Waiting for you advice
PS: I love this phone and it is perfect for me - I don't even want to replace it with Galaxy S3 Mini which I believe is not as good as Xperia L

I came from S3 mini before having this Xperia L. All I can say is, XL is way way better than my previous one.
Rest assured that your XL will do fine, if your ok with that little tiny white dot. Unless of course bigger problem arises. Then thats the time you bring it for warranty. Sony service center will take care of it.
Does the store have the 7 days replacement policy or a full refund? If yes, I'd rather bring it back and wait for a replacement or have it refunded. And buy with other stores. For you to have peace of mind with your beloved XL.
Good luck.

One Plus One Touchscreen

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.

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...
