You know what is the type and cost of a new digitizer?

Just make a little research on ebay or google and you will get an idea of the prices.
Where you live for example can be a factor on the price...

Hi guys!
I just replaced my broken digitizer with one I bought on ebay, and the new one works fine.
However, the earpiece speaker does not work. Help!
Do any of you have any tips for me?
PS: I already threw away the old one when because the touchscreen seemed to work fine, so I can't just take the speaker from that.

I just bought a new digitizer off of taobao. It cost me 120 RMB ($19) and comes with a replacement front shell. When it arrives I'll install it. Good luck with your speaker, when I get mine in I'll look at the circuitry to see if I can find anything to help you.
EDIT: Replaced mine, it was pretty easy. On your speaker, did you reconnect the speaker wire correctly? Or did the wire get damaged? That's the only thing I could see that could go wrong with it.

I have the same problem. The speaker in the new digitizer is bigger than the old one.
An image showing the differences
Does anybody know where to get a fitting digitizer/speaker?
Seems like there are no right ones on ebay...
Update:
I've contacted the seller. I will send him the part number of my digitizer (printed on the cable) and he will try to get the right one for me.
The ebay seller is 'easyworldwidetrading'. I will update this post for the folks who need this kind of digitizer.
Update 2:
My digitizer is a "TM1564" model which will be send to me now.

hi, you got a link to buy?

Not really. Just had some email conversation with them/him.
The shop is called 'easyworldwidetrading' on ebay:
http://myworld.ebay.com.hk/easyworldwidetrading?ssPageName=ADME:L:OCE:1181
Haven't got the new digitizer yet. He wrote "It is OK, I will check about it and reship the TM1564 model touch screen to you, is it OK??". I am expecting to get it within the next two weeks. I will keep you updated if you want or you can write him on as I did. Maybe he will start selling the TM1564 on ebay too.

Old speaker with wrong digitizer
Hell,
i wonted to ask is it possible to use old small speaker in new digitizer replacing big speaker?
Is there any other differenc in digitizers other then speaker size?
If i take big speaker out and glue or attach small speaker in the place, can i work like that?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I had a look at the two digitizers and yes, I think that it is possible. If I can help you with images or anything else just send a msg to me.

Ok, thanks for info, i will try it and report what happens.

Hello, i have tried and it works, so you can use your old speaker instead big speaker in digitizer. I just replaced big speaker with my old small speaker and it worked. You have to center it in digitizer and put something on top of the speaker i used double layer tape otherwise speaker is too much in and it doesn't make connection.

On top? You mean towards the ear?

You know, you don't have to replace the speaker and case. You can remove the digitizer from the case and put it in your old case with the smaller speaker.

[Q] u8800-51 touch screen bottom not responding

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 ?

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

i am sorry - what is not worth fixing ?
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
thanks again

Yes, but $70 and you have a brand new one. Basically, fixing it is more trouble than selling it.

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 ?

Where to buy quality touch screen replacement?

The glass on my nexus 4 has cracked couple months ago after falling 1-2 feet from my table. Only recently I decided to replace it with the Display + Frame kit in order to avoid all the mess with the heat gun. Replacement was a piece of cake, very easy phone to work with. Sadly, there are bad news. The touch screen is ghosting and being erratic. I bought the replacement from ebay, linked below, and have messaged seller about replacement.
I tried to save couple bucks, but now I will have to ship it back for RMA and have to deal with down time. The unit does not look like a cheaply made clone, but the labeling is pretty much copy and paste with weird font, suggesting that the item might be clone. Now take a look at replacement from repairuniverse website. The touch screen controller has a version number on it, which is 1.1 The original screen on my N4 is version 1.0 (1238). If I am not mistaken, the new touch screen fixes the issue of random minor-ghosting which I did have form factory.
I will try the RMA replacement, but if that does not work, where can I buy the quality touch screen with frame? Is the one sold by repairuniverse as good as it gets?

My sister smashed up her phone a few months back (Nexus 4), and then a few weeks later my girlfriend did the same thing to her Nexus 5. I ordered both replacement screens from ETradeSupply (here's the N4 one: http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-lg-...nd-digitizer-assembly-with-front-housing.html) and while they are definitely pricey they have been working so far without issue.
I feel they are overpriced though and there might be a cheaper and just as reliable solution.

Would you say that those were original parts or counterfeit? Judging by the pictures, they look like original, but then on ebay the seller put up pictures of original replacement and sold counterfeit. The biggest giveaway is probably labels of ribbon cables.

I am not sure, their site says OEM but I do remember there being some strange gold stickers on them that weren't on the busted screens. A few of the sticky tabs (like the one that sits under the camera, and the one under the micro USB port) also did not look the same. Everything else did though, like the radio cables etc., were all the same color. Honestly I don't know for sure.

You should go with spareslg.com. They are the only site I know that appears to sell brand new service packs. Bear in mind you should replace the battery as well, it is impossible for the average person to reuse the battery after a screen replacement.

I will keep spareslg.com in my although they are outside of my region.
Why would the battery need to be replaced? Because of possible damage when taking it out?
I found it easier to take everything out first, and battery last. It is easier to pry the battery on the side where antenna cable is taped.

You can try reuse it. I've seen cases where people have done that and then 2 weeks later it has swollen so much it cracks the back of the phone. LG would replace your battery if they fixed the screen.

Nothing is impossible with right tools and patience I have changed lcd and back glass few months ago and still using old battery without any problems ...

Sadly, I have not fixed my N4 yet. All the sellers I contacted claimed that there is no sellers that seels OEM parts, only OEM compliant.
I just might part my nexus and buy something else.

You can check the lg website for Portugal. They will link to spareslg.com for OFFICIAL parts. So there are some global websites that will sell you OEM spare part. They are in my region but for what I see they ship worldwide.
On ebay you get some good deals and others not so good

So here is another update. I have put away my broken N4 and used HTC Amaze 4G for quite a while. Recently Amaze began to have issues with touch screen until part of it stopped working all together.
Figured I would give ebay another try. Seller is wholesalegadgetfix, item number 151206512431. Item is listed as OEM, but when I asked the seller they weren't sure. Whatever, placed an ordered and received it today.
First of all, the unit looked OEM-ish. Synaptics MC was clearly labeled and its ribbon cable was stamped with few numbers and Rev 1.1 Display ribbon cable had markings with numbers that are similar to updated actual OEM item.
Overall, markings look OEM, but not necesarly in right place. Frame itself is OEM. Tried to test the unit before assembly but it was almost impossible, therefore, I proceeded with the install.
Right off the bad, no issues with touchscreen like previous ebay unit had, at least not yet *fingers crossed*. Display quality looks good, although I don't remember what original looked like.
One bad thing about it. There is slight light-bleeding at the bottom left where back button is. It's not terrible, but I imagine it won't be a big issues with translucent bar. After-all, this is my best phone option as of now.
Sorry for bumping an old thread.

Glass cracked, LCD + touch work, 2/3 home buttons do not work - What to replace

Dropped the phone, boohoo, glass shattered. lcd works fine and so do all touch areas. But the home button and back button do not work along the bottom. My overview/panels button still works.
So what do I need to replace? Will a simple glass replacement/Digitizer on eBay for about $10 restore function to the home and back button?
(as a side note - I think I can root the device + install permanent on screen action buttons right? The free stuff from Google play isn't cutting it)

happened to me a few months ago, I bought full lcd + digitizer from alliexpress. I believe it woul be very hard to separte the display from the screen/digitizer

Good to know they're available. I somehow got a tiny corner chip on mine (no idea how). Thankfully it's small and low enough that it doesn't affect buttons or screen.

Would this basically be it?:
Seems pretty simple as long as I can get my hand on a heating gun.

That same seller sent me a message after I paid for the screen, he told me that there was low stock and it will take them about 6 days to restock, I decided to cancel the order and buy it from another seller but it was the same story, there was no stock and it took them around a week to send the screen.
I placed the order on Jan 03, the screen was shipped on Jan 09, and it was delivered on Jan 16.

My phone on stock rom has an issue where the left edge does not work. LeEco said it was a known issue. I literally cannot seek a YouTube video to time 0:00 because it stops responding at about 0:14.
Do you have any issue with YouTube seeking to the beginning with the new screen?

That has no effect for me.
If it is a hardware issue, I would ask LeEco to exchange it or I'll just replace the screen myself. LeEco tells me it is a known issue that I have. Now I am questioning if others have the same issue as me.
Can I assume nobody else has an issue with the screen/digitizer on the left edge, such as when seeking YouTube videos to the beginning?

replacement experience
Hi all,
For those who have change the display for the x720/x727, Have you found any significant difference from the original display? I need to change mine, and I have seen one on aliexpress. Sorry but I can't post the link because of the 10 post limitation.
It has many reviews, being almost all of them positive. But someone tells that there is no light on the capacitive buttons. I'd want to know if you have experienced this issue. Also, in your opinion, has the replacement the same brightness like the original one? Is as responsive as the original one?
Many thanks.

For me the replacement one looks a bit better than the original. Everything works fine.

Hi, i broke my digitizer on pro 3 Gold. Can i buy only digitizer or i must buy lcd+digitizer?

LCD replace

Hello, I have broken the screen tha way that half is displayed properly and half mixed colors. Physically no damages visible. Is it 100% screen failure od maybe mainboard?

@Filozof71: What did you do, drop it? It's most likely the screen that's damaged, not the motherboard. If you are still under warranty, send it in to ZTE, they will probably send back a refurbished Axon 7 to replace it. This is the option I personally recommend.
Or, if you know how to replace the screen yourself, you can probably buy a new one on EBay or AliExpress. There is a disassembly guide somewhere here on the forum that shows you how to take the A7 apart step by step.

99% sure it's not broken. Push down on the screen, at 1 cm from the right edge of the screen, roughly where the volume buttons are. You almost definitely just have an unsnapped screen connector
If you can't get it to work, watch JerryRigEverything's video on how to take apart the phone and memorize where the screen connector is (it is abt 1 cm tall). Then push on the screen where it is, no need to take the phone apart. If it still doesn't do anything just take it apart and reconnect it

@BaamAlex: Now you're just nitpicking. Our device has a *SCREEN*, regardless of the technology behind it.

This. Seeing as OP was clearly struggling with the language.
