Hi,
Recently ive repaired a HTC Universal, put it back together as best as i could.
Now when i do touch the screen with a stylus, the screen has funny colours behind it. It kind of like when you touch/ prod your Computer LCD. It only happens when theres pressure on the screen so its not really a huge problem. The touch screen is definately there cause when i tap the screen it responds (e.g i tap start and the menu pops down).
If its normal then i can take it, but if its not im complaining to the ebay seller.
This doesent happen when i put any form of pressure on my HTC magician LCD, so im curious.
Let me know what happens with your universal
Cheers,
Whitemoo.
This is not normal behaviour of any touchscreen device!!
hmmm... well i just looked at the broken lcd screen, and even though the LCD itself is shattered, the touch screen is in perfect nick.
I put pressure on the touch screen and couldnt see any of the symptoms i saw on my current LCD
You guys recon i should swap the touch screen over? either way im complaining to the sellers, DODGY.
whitemoo.
from my knowledge, im pretty sure its normal. it happens sometimes on my 9000 so yeahh....

A few months ago the screen on my SPV M600 took a knock which cracked it pretty badly, to the point it couldn't be used. I've rebuilt two other HTC phones in the past so felt fairly happy buying and fitting a replacement screen myself, along with the fact Orange wanted well over £100 for repairing it!
I dismantled the phone back to the screen to find it had a gold LCD cable and bought a new one on eBay.
I've now tried fitting the screen which works perfectly when the phone is still appart, but when I put the casing back together the screen goes blank. The exact point it happens is when I'm clipping the side of the phone with the volume control into place. The screen gets very bright as if the backlight is either getting too much power from somewhere or the backlight setting isn't taking effect. If I set the backlight to minimum it's most noticable as it goes from dull to full brightness when I apply pressure between the screen and board on that side of the phone.
I've tried sliding a piece of card between the screen and board to see if there was something touching that shouldn't be, but it doesn't seem to make much difference.
If anyone could offer me any advice on how to solve this I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
I think I've solved it, I hadn't put a layer of the copper from the back of the old LCD onto the new one. It seems to be working fine now.
Well, plain and simple is that my touchscreen doesn't response to any touch reponse but the screen is working and everything else
I recently bought a white G1 housing kit on ebay and decided to take the risk of opening up my G1 to replace the housing of my black G1 to the white one, but turns out the white case for the screen / menu buttons arent correct so i scraped those and just changed the keyboard and menu button keys to white and put everything back together properly and exam each part and etc.
so i put everything back together and turn on the g1 everything works fine but the touchscreen doesn't work, is there anyway i can fix this?
life is hard using the G1 without a working touchscreen lol
thanks again and i don't think my screen is defective just wondering why it doesn't reponse to my touch
thanks
Once I was walking around in the heat with my G1 in my BDU pocket for like 4 hours, and it obviously got really humid in my pocket, and my touchscreen stopped responding. I let the phone just sit off for a while and after about an hour sitting in my room, it started working again. But I've had several instances where the touch screen has been less responsive/not responsive.
My guess based off my experience would be that some ambient moisture may have gotten into the phone when you opened it up. How long has it been since you put it back together?
Any update on this?
you said you had 2 g1s, right? so take the phone apart again and replace the touch screen.
the touch screen is separate from the LCD, so that wont affect it.
So, I had a nightmare - was chatting on my phone, stumbled, dropped the thing dead on to concrete.
The screen now has cracks running across it from top to bottom and a few snowflake/spider web looking cracks in it.
Whilst I can still read the screen and amazingly the touch sensitivity hasn't been affected, I don't want a smashed up phone.
So to clarify - my phone works fine, it scrolls and picks up typing etc etc - it is totally useable but the glass screen that protects the LCD screen has been damaged pretty badly.
Can I just buy a new screen for it? Or will I need an entirely new phone?
Cheers
A search goes a long way...

Hi,
I just want to thank everyone on this site for the plethora of information that is available.
Here is a rather strange issue, that I did not see covered previously...
I purchased a used aria with a cracked digitizer off ebay for pretty cheap. I replaced the digitizer myself and all was good. I used the phone for about a week and dropped it. After that, the digitizer has been acting a bit flaky.
For instance, when it decides that it wants to annoy me, every input seems to register only on the middle of the screen. For instance, if I touch the top of the screen, the screen registers touches as though I was touching the screen in middle of the height. If I touch the bottom, it still registers the touch in the center of the screen.
I found that If I knock the phone against a table, along the edge, the problem goes away for a while. Then it crops up, again, randomly.
Anyone have this issue?
Thanks,
JC
well my htc hd2 is using android and using it a year by now and notice that the upper left of the screen is not working?is it the lcd or digitizer or just need to align it?i dropped this many times(up to 5 times i think)but no damage on the housing and it looks new,and it is annoying in some games cause it wont work and i notice a very little red dot on that part.....pls help
If you lost sensitivity and the screen does not respond to touch, then it's a digitizer, if picture is distorted or, as you describe, a red dot appeared where it shouldn't be - LCD, sounds like both in your case. I am not quite sure how it doesn't work in games or whether the problem is present in normal screens. Alignment is a procedure to tune and correct mistakes in touch recognition or to make touch more precise on resistive screens.
I suggest replacement of your LCD + DIGITIZER. Dropping it many times may have caused it too, even if housing looks perfect.
