Hello,
i cracked my HD2 screen (digitizer), i purchased new one, but the cracked one was working and i was not in a hurry to change it. After a minor drop, the LCD touch screen cracked under the cracked digitizer and now i have black screen...
Now also i have to purchase LCD screen, but i saw that there is ready to use screen+digitizer(and of course more expensive than screen and digitizer alone) .
My question is - what will be easier to change - ready to use digitizer + screen, screen and digitizer alone or there is no difference. I'm asking this, because I'm wondering should i sell the digitizer (if i can) and buy the ready to use screen+digitizer, or to purchase the screen and to use it with the already received digitizer.
If you can afford it you have to go with the all in one. Too much can go wrong during assembly and you should avoid it if you can.
yup, separating and installing them separately is a pain in the arse, its always better to do it in the one job if you can afford the initial high cost. My LCD panel needs replaced due to light bleeding, but I cant be arsed, the digitiser is likely to fail in the future anyway being an HD2 so ill wait and just do the two of them together.
OK, thank you.
I've watched 2 or 3 "how to change digitizer" videos. Is there a video for changing the lcd+digitizer or its the same as the digitizer change? I have to disassemble the whole phone to change the digitizer...

there is a vid somewhere, ill have a look later, but essentially yes. you need to remove the whole lot, the only difference between doing them both and doing them separately is that the two panels are stuck to each other, and its that process of separating or putting back together that's really tricky and people have ended up damaging one or the other trying it.
What about the difference in the EU and T-Mobile versions, like in the digitizer (soldering and insertion) Is there a difference too, if i take the whole "pack" (LCD + Digitizer) and what should i look for if there is a difference?

If you buy combo(LCD+digitizer) there's no problem to replace it to whatever version of HD2 you own: combo is interchangeable on both versions!
OK, Thank you!
I'm asking because i asked some buyers on ebay, and they told me "Sorry, my friend, but this is for T-mobile version" But on the pictures, they are all the same.
I had my EU hd2 digitizer changed too when it was broken, and when it was changed to a tmous replacement, they couldn't get the promixity sensor working.
Now I dunno if that's a defect from the screen or because it's a incompatility problem, but a further gsensor-working-in-wm6-but-not-in-android-problem in my other replacement mashup hd2 hybrid EUTMOUS frankenstein phone suggests that some parts may not be interchangeable.
You should just make sure that it's a EU digitizer so you won't run into further problems.

But on a already assembled combo pack (LCD + digitizer) how to know if the digitizer is EU version, beside the T-mobile logo.

I doubt it's a relationship between digitizer and g-sensor/proximity sensor...

Let me clarify that; my hd2 EU first had its digitizer+LCD replaced with a TMOUS version, and the proximity sensor stopped working,
then the the mobo was replaced by a tmous mobo in the same EU housing and the accelerometer and magnetometer does not work properly (accelerometer works in wm6.5 but not android), but the proximity sensor worked.
It's not just me having a hardware replacement problem, there's a significant amount of posts by other users about replacement parts not working properly. So everyone should be at least very cautious about using them because replacing with other parts may cause other problems.
my buddys HD2's touch screen suddenly stopped working.
he gave me the phone for $50.
i guess ima have to do lil work
I need some help with choosing the combo
Which one should i take and why on one the second item there are those big cable-like things.
N1 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-and-DIG...ccessories&hash=item43adebdc7d#ht_3076wt_1110
N2 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-lcd-Tou...ltDomain_0&hash=item3a67e44659#ht_2175wt_1344
Will i need to solder them together or they are already soldered (welded junction or whatever)
Thank you!
Anybody?

Both versions are OK, but I would choose the first one.
There's no need for soldering(vers. 2): it's more like a packaging thing in order to get it mounted on chassis.

I guess its because you/they lost the little glasses that connect the display and the sensor.
Its easy to loose them as they fall out after you take the screen from the housing.
I lost them a few seconds ago and think that i know what wont work when i reassemble
@topic
there is generally no problem removing display from touchscrren. just make it hot with a fan or oven ~80°C is okay. and with a flat knive or iron-wire go for the glue.
If you do this you need new glue-tape. Mostly you get this from china very cheap but takes a while.
If your screen is broken now i would recommend to take a combi pack as you have no glueing, no alignment problems and so on.
its not very hard but kills some time and nerves ;D
OK, so lets do a round up, before i make the purcahse, so I'm sure i will make the right choice.
I'm going to buy this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-and-DIG...ccessories&hash=item43adebdc7d#ht_3076wt_1110
because its already assembled and much easier to use and IT WILL FIX on my EU version of the phone (Not US T-Mobile)
Only YES or NO will be enough

The Eu-HD2 is soldered isnt it? This version, from the picture, is the pluged version....
Im not sure because if you change the display also the connector type could be irrelevant.
But if this is the screen from Tmous-HD2, i remember that it was a bit bigger? Is it just the housing or also the display?
=>
Dont buy before this is clear!
(i would open my hd2, look what connector type is inside and buy that one just to be sure...)
And some advise: Try to glue the flex cable from the touchscreen(the one that goes under the end call button reallly close to the display)
This could help to improve the life-span of the cable as its not flexed every time you push the button(try when you hold it in your hands by putting the buttons in the frame and push it, if it flexes the cable fix that!!!)
Otherwise the cable will break one day and the wires will disconnect=> typical problem of not responding touchscreen

Hello guys. I have a small problem with my HD2, but let's start from the beginning. Some time ago I bought US version of the phone, and it was working fine till touch screen broke. So, a friend of mine replaced it for me, but now the screen doesn't fit into the housing. The reason is that the US version is a bit larger than EU ver. (T-Mobile HD2: 122x67x11mm / 4.803x2.637x0.433in HTC HD2: 120.5x67x11mm / 4.744x2.637x0.433in - don't know if those dimension are right, found them on the web). It's not a much, but enough to stick out from the housing, what makes the green button hard to press. I haven't found any cases for US version here in Poland, so I thought that maybe I should change the hard case to EU version? That would work? Ohh, and one more thing - I really don't want to use superglue to make it fit - that's not a solution

The hard case would be the solution indeed, since the screen fits into the hardcase, there is no other option then changing the hard case or to buy a new screen(us).

Totally wrong! You cannot change case for a simple reason: your USTMo version chassis(containing motherboard) won't fit in EU version case.
The only option is to take apart(dismantle) again your hd2 and put it all together again in a right/appropriate manner using right materials/tools: it's obvious to me your friend(of OP) did a bad job and you should ask for more professional help in order to make things right.
NB @rexx87
You didn't mention what did you replaced to your hd2: touchscreen only or combo(lcd+touchscreen).
From what are you saying I assume you changed combo and it should fit OK(no matter what version US or EU), otherwise it doesn't make sense your question...

Same thing happen to me on tuesday. I had bought the combo and the LCD sreen was .25 cm lower. This cause the top portion to stick out. I had to reheat the adhesive and realigned the digitizer and LCD.
u8800-51 touch screen bottom not responding
hi all
i am new and ignorant
(love the xda rules vid)
just bought second hand at&t impulse 4g (u8800-51) , with the bottom half of the screen, not responding to touch.
the top half works
i was told that it happened when the device got dropped.
the picture is good.
got stuck in at&t logo boot loop, and erased back to original on the android rescue screen. and its booting again
tried to reassemble the screen , but no change.
will replacing the glass plus digitizer solve it?
is there a difference between u8800 and u8800-51 screen parts? (or any other hardware for that matter?)
thanks alot
Switching the touch screen (glass) will fix your problem.
In which side do you have the notification led on? Right or left of speaker?
If it is on the right, you probably have the smaller speaker system (that's good to know if you are buying with the frame).
There is no difference in the sockets, however I have seen all Impulse 4G have the Synaptics version (black flex cable), so it would be better if you'd buy that. Some of the eBay sellers are offering the official AT&T touch screen, with the logo on it, so that would be a safe place to buy from.
-EDIT-
Some more things to know:
When they are selling with a frame, you can see it on the picture and they usually mention that somewhere too. If you took the phone open, it's easy to tell if it's big or small by looking whether it looks like this (big speaker).

thank u so much
after a long study of the different pics of sellers, i remain a confused, because i finally found enough pics
(attached)
to realize that my model always have the black cable u mentioned which comes with a SMALL speaker, while the big speaker always come with the yellow cable, but alas, my device comes with a black cable, but big speaker,
so should i go with cable color + name mentioned (AT&T Impulse 4G) + AT&T logo, (which all calls for a Small speaker) OR , should i go with speaker size (big) ?
regarding my indicator position, it is to thr right when i look from the inner angle (like the photo of the big speaker that u added

That's the digitizer only. I don't think it's glass really, but it's easier to say it is.
I replaced mine by taking off the old digitizer from the frame. It came off pretty easily, it just needs some patience to take it apart without breaking it.
If you don't want to mess with glue, I'd suggest this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Digitizer...356?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4abfc0011c
It's without the AT&T logo. I cannot guarantee it will fit though, there is always this chance Huawei modified something else between the U8800 and -51.

i prefer not to risk peeling, for breakage, and gluing, for moisture and mess.
i am starting to think that my digitizer was not original, and that is why it failed.
and feels like plastic. i found an original part at cellulardr.com for about 70$ vs. the 10-$15 ebay ones.
so maybe the seller put on impulse 4g, a big earpiece frame, with a yellow cable digitaizer. what a mess!
i attach a pic of big vs small earpieces. i believe the ''big'' is the one with golden terminals.
i think i will get a cheap ebay small earpiece frame with a black cable digitizer (like the original had, i believe) , with a 5$ small earpiece as extra.
god. why do i feel like Sherlock Holmes ?

You can buy a used one for under $70 or an OEM frame with glass. In my op, its not worth to fix.

yes, i am going to buy a small earpiese frame with black cable plus a small earpiece,
but seeing my old digitizer, i am starting to think (because of the price difference from the original) that all these E-bay so called "glass" , 10-15$ , advertized digitizers ,are actually made of plastic ??
but i will not "invest in an expensive glass before i am happy with the new device.
so far i have not seen used original digitizers.
if i am happy with the device, i might start looking for a"for parts" u8800-51 deal on E-bay

the cheapest new impulse 4g i could find cost 150$. i do get your point, but i already invested time and money on it and i can't sell a device that i am not sure of his condition. also its a little bit exciting for me if i manage to make it work.
is there any way to bypass the faulty touch screen ,for sake of testing the phone,
with some external device such as usb\Bluetooth mouse and keyboard ?

Hello everyone, My nexus 7 has a crack-line in the screen and only one half of the touch screen is responding, My question is: Where can I buy a new screen + 'digitizer' (Think that will be needed no?!) for a cheap price?, And is it hard to fix it myself? The warranty wants me to pay 233 Euro (303 Dollar) to fix the screen, But man... That's almost the price for a new unit (249 Euro), (323.87 Dollar). I hate Asus now!

You can buy an assembly on Ebay for around 65 Euros. They maybe surplus stock, but work just as well. Changing it is not that hard. All you need to do is look for a a tutorial on youtube, and follow the instructions closely.

That's also very true, especially the word "patience". I'd add that you should have experience working on this before. Otherwise, 99 times out of 100, something would go wrong. But since you have nothing to lose anyway, why not take a crack at it and have fun while doing it?

Yes but only one half of the touch screen is responding (Above the line) the other half is not responding to touch input, So don't I need a new digitizer too? And the Ebay link, I can't seem to order that because I can only choose Canada or the VS and I live in Belgium!
PS: Here is a picture of the unit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kqjaz9zuy2ppep2/IMG_20130628_121635.bmp
Hi there,
it seems that the digitizer (glass with touch layer) is broken. The LCD seems to be ok. You have four ways to proceed:
1. Sell the unit and wait for the next Nexus 7 (but you'll only get around 50-70US$ for your broken unit) - RISK OF NOT GETTING A GOOD PRICE
2. Let it be fixed by a pro and pay 150US$ or more for that - RISK OF PAYING TOO MUCH
3. Get a LCD/Digitizer combo (often not originals) from Ebay (click for the right search on Belgium's ebay) or Aliexpress and replace the whole unit yourself. That costs around 75 to 90US$ at the moment. It's relatively easy to do it by yourself. If you're not left-handed you can fix that in 30 minutes, with only a little screwdriver and a guitar plectrum. See here how it is done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtIFkIKtYf8 - RISK OF GETTING A BAD REPLACEMENT COMBO, NEARLY NO RISK TO FIX IT YOURSELF
4. Buy only the digitizer (glass with touchscreen functionality for 30US$ from aliexpress or Ebay (click for the right search on Belgium's ebay) and try it the long way. For that you have to separate the broken digitizer from the working LCD. They are glued together, but there is a way to remove it. See my posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337288 and in the linked thread. Be very carefull and take your time if you want to do this. Read all the related posts and only order the glass after successful separation, cleaning and test (you don't want a digitizer glass after you ruined the LCD...). This whole operation will take you some time and preparation. Beside the digitizer you'll need some cleaning liquid (around 5$) and some adhesive (glue or tape) to stick the LCD back to the glass. I think it's possible to glue it only on the edges, but I am still waiting for my glass to try it out... - RISK OF GETTING A BAD REPLACEMENT DIGITIZER, TO LOOSE A LOT OF TIME AND RISK OF RUINING THE LCD WHILE TRYING TO SEPARATE OR CLEAN IT (WHAT WOULD LEAD TO STEP 3. AGAIN)
Make your choice!
Ah, there is also choice Nr. 5.: Give it away for free. NO RISK!

The first one seems to be Synaptics, without the frame. It means you have to glue it to your old frame yourself. No need to worry about speaker size here, since it won't include one.
The seconds one seems to be Atmel with frame, but notice the big speaker. It must be compatible otherwise the speaker stops working (as far as I know U8800 ships with small speaker, but I can't be sure).
is easy to paste?

It's not hard at all. You just need to be careful not to spill it on the touch screen visible part.
Getting the old touch screen off might take some time, as the cover is not that strong. I removed it slowly and it came off pretty well.
is there any tutorial?

How about this one?
ebay.com/itm/New-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Huawei-U8800-Ideos-X5-AT-T-/280972093595
It' a little bit cheaper and looks the same as the first one, in the first post.
I'm having some problems with my touchscreen, where sometime it detects some inputs in the right area of the screen. It's truly annoying, as you my think....
I'm thinking about buying a new one.
Which one is better by the way, Synaptics or Atmel? I would like something cheap, but that don't work/feel garbage...

Synaptics is more or less ok, but Atmel is more configurable and with my ROM you get 10 point multitouch.
The video is nice, but it seems to describe the method where you have touch screen with the FRAME, so it does not involve replacing the actual digitizer. The eBay link offers just the digitizer, so an extra step is needed to replace the digitizer in the frame with the new one.

I thought that the multitouch limit of 2 was an hardware thing! That is very good! I'm using your CM11, and I can only make 2 multitouch at a time. So, it's a Synaptics touch, right?
Aren't you going to change the driver in the next ROM, because of the problems turning the screen off/on?
Keep the good work on that.
So, the initial problems (2012) that the Atmel touch had, are gone?
About the video, there is really one steep missing. I'm a little worried about damaging the metalic frame arround the phone, to separate the "glass" from the frame. Maybe from the inside it's easier, i hope.
Thanks!
I'm seating at my desk with my phone on my side over the mousepad and after hearing a very faint "pop" sound I notice there is a very clean single crack running from the top to the bottom of the screen. The phone was bought a month ago, never dropped, and it was not even being touched when it cracked. What could be the reason? Some type or thermal stress or just a manufacturing defect?
At the moment I'm living in a country without official Xiaomi support (Japan), is there anything I can do about it?
I'm quite surprised by what happened and I have never heard of a screen on a new phone cracking for no apparent reason.

I once put a Sony MP3 player at the window, in winter. At the morning it was cracked. I gotowe beating from my dad for breaking the christmas gify a dat after receiving it. Still wish these days came back though.
It's probably a manufacturing defect. Where did you buy the phone? You could try explaining the situation, but I think it would be a huge hassle, just take your loss and spend $30 on a new display.

Replacement screens usually look rubbish and have ghost touches in the digitalizer
Thank you for the suggestions.

I need only the digitizer, the LCD itself looks fine. Would it still not work well? I have never replaced a digitizer (or a screen) by myself, but on such a cheap phone I may as well try. Or is it an almost impossible task and I should just replace the whole screen assembly?
Also,isn't there a software setting for calibrating the digitizer? Using it can't I get the original performance?
I bought a €20 full hd screen for my Ascend P7 and it looked the same as the original. $30 is a normal price for a phone LCD, only OLED displays are much more expensive (another reason to avoid OLED screens on phones)

Not recommended, you save maybe 20$, but you still risk breaking your screen and having to wait another 3 weeks on a new one.
watch this to see how it works and decide for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9drzO9hO_U
