A fall of about just a foot cracked the glass on my G2. It wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't also destroyed the digitizer, leaving on a small part of the screen usable. The bought the phone in February, so I was wondering if the LG warranty would cover the damage. If not, I could try to fix it myself. ETrade Supply does not have a screen listed for the LS980, but they do have one for the D800 (unfortunately currently out of stock): http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-g2-d800-digitizer-touch-screen-black-with-lg-logo.html
Should this work with the LS980?
Also, does anyone know of a way that I can control the phone from my pc over usb, probably using adb. I would like to be able to at least backup the phone, but I can't even get past the pattern lock. Would it work to get a USB OTG cable and connect a mouse?

My usb port has been flaky for a while but finally gave out totally recently. It's actually loose inside the case. Over the past couple weeks my digitizer has also been going bad. I read about how you can press the power button hard to get it working again, which works but it seems only a matter of time for that thing too. Anyone got any recommendations for what I could do? I ordered an external battery charger and battery but all it accomplished was frying my old battery. :/ I might try to solder a new usb port on once I have good reason to (read: solid mango wp7 rom.) but if my digitizer is done it's not really worth it. Why would pressing on the power button revive it when it's not working? I'm hoping it's just a loose cable.
Bottom line, does anyone who's had these problems (they're the two most common HD2 hardware issues afaik) have any recommendations for solutions?
Your USB port issue probably can't be fixed.. unless you can find someone who is willing to help you solder a new usb port to your motherboard (or you can do it yourself if you have enough skills)
As for your Digitizer, you can open up your hd2, and check if the digitizer plug is loose (located under the lcd). If it isn't, that means your hd2 digitizer is dead, and you should order a replacement.. (of course, please see here
I have the same issue with my Infuse. The digitiser only seems to have a problem for the four bottom buttons. They have a mind of their own. The rest of the screen is fine. My USB port is intermittant. I'll probably just take it back to the store though. Sorry I cannot help.
So my g/f droped my phone and my touch screen completly stoped working. So I went on a limb and replaced the digitizer and I thought all was well. Unforunatley only parts of the screen if you were to break the screen into 1/4s the top quarter doesnt work nor does the third down. So im thinking either the digitizer i recieved is defective or the ribon cable on the phone side is damaged. I have tried to reconnect everything all seems well.I have also tried a hard reset to no avail Any ideas guys could use some help!
Does anyone have a breakdown of the phone with part numbers and names. Im going to try and get the ribbon cable that connects the digitizer to the phone the one that runs under the power button.

Unless you really know what you're doing, this will be impossible. The screen and that ribbon are connected. Best bet is to just replace the entire digitizer again. Or do like I did, warranty it out. My screen shattered, door met phone, and I replaced it but had a dead spot, so I just called att and had them replace under warranty.
never mind found it the ribbon cable is one big piece for all connections! 15 bucks.
I need help with broken lcd flex cable connector on motherboard!
I want to now is another connector fits for Trophy
Nothing?
Nobody knows any solution?
I had this happen on my Touch Pro2, but the cable still worked fine after inserting it. Maybe try a bit of electrical tape on top? I don't know if the facing side on the Trophy connector (the side that is broken has any data carry over or not?)
It's some pretty high level damage to do either way.
I try, but not work.
I hate to say it, your out of luck. :/ Unless you can find someone that can do awesome high level soldering and has access to the parts to replace it... that's it. HTC might repair it at a cost, since the phone isn't under warranty anymore, but you'd have to contact them and ask them if they would and what the price would be.
I buy one with broken LCD and Touchscreen and now I have a working Trophy.
Only thing is to change stock ROM with custom ROM.
My phone, not damaged in any way I know, has suddenly developed a touchscreen problem. There is a 2cm thick band across the middle of the screen which no longer responds to touch.
Do I need to take it to the phone doctor, or are there some software issues I can eliminate first? Thanks.

My Nexus 4 began to display the same problem a few days ago.
I found this thread in the archives that may help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/section-touch-screen-t2232903
It has suggestions like charging the phone with lower amperage (trough a laptop USB port) and unplugging and plugging again the screen connector.
I'm not comfortable doing the latter without having a replacement phone in case things go worse, so I ordered a Nexus 5 before I try to open the phone myself.
Hello, I recently attempted to replace the USB flex cable on my D800, because the original touch screen turned on, but the touch was inaccurate and had dead zones. I would touch one place on the lock screen, but the circle would appear in a different area instead. (The top half of the screen was pretty accurate, but lost accuracy from the middle and down.)
So, I ordered another flex cable for the D800, same as the original (labeling and everything). However, the new flex cable wouldn't register any touches at all. The display would turn on, but no touch. So I reinstalled the old flex cable and the touch worked, just not correctly. Faulty new cable?
Anyway, at that point I thought, hey, maybe it's the digitizer, so I got a new LCD+Digitizer assembly for $44. I installed it and it turns on fine, but still has touch issues with the original flex cable, and no touch on the new flex cable.
So... does this just mean that both of my flex cables are faulty? Or is it something else? Because it's definitely not the digitizer.
Extra info:
1. I factory reset the phone several times but no improvement, so I don't think it's a software issue.
2. I bought the phone second hand for $80; needed a battery replacement, because the screen wouldn't turn on and had a blinking red light.
3. Oddly enough, the battery that was inside it when I bought the phone was manufactured in 2014, even though the phone itself was used and fairly old, so I assume the original owner had opened it once before.
4. Looking at all the parts inside the phone, they're clearly labeled as D800/801. However, I managed to get through the settings to hardware info and it says the model is LG-D802T (Australian model?). I don't know what's going on.... ugh
same problem ... with no fix yet
