My friends screen cracked on his phone so he bought a new one but I cant seem to find a service manual or guide on how to remove the screen, its the digitizer not the lcd screen. I disassembled it as far as I could go but it almost looks like the screen is just glued =/

It is just attached with an adhesive. You can carfully pull/pry the screen off of the casing. Once it is taken off, the new screen will stick to the adhesive and you shouldn't have any problems
thx for the advice, worked like a charm
Hi guys,
What could be the possible reasons for a touchscreen and the capacitive buttons to stop working?
I purchased my Huawei U8800 only very recently but it was purchased 2nd hand. The phone came pre-installed with a custom rom, which is this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481168
I've had very minimal use of it ever since I received it, due to the reason that I have exams as I'm an UNI student. Therefore, I haven't modified the phone in any way, i.e I have not overclocked it or flashed a different kernel or recovery etc. The only thing I've done is installed GO SMS PRO and used it for txting and calling, that's it.
At first, everything seems to work fine. But on my 2nd day of use, the touchscreen started acting weird, where the right hand side of the screen stops working for no reason, as well as the 2 capacitive buttons on the right half of the screen (HOME and SEARCH). Then after a while, the BACK capacitive button on the left half of the screen stopped working, and eventually all 4 capacitive buttons and the entire screen stopped working.
The phone still turns on, but the entire screen doesn't pick up any finger input and there isn't any haptic feedback or vibration from the capacitive buttons. When I boot into the recovery, this is also the same.
So I contacted the seller about this, and he advised me to flash the Cyanogenmod 7.2 rom to see if this fixes the problem. It didn't, the touchscreen still doesn't work.
I'm wondering if this is related to the digitizer, which is the part of the phone that sense your finger inputs? If not, what are the other parts of the phone that could relate to the capacitive buttons and touch screen?
Definately a digitizer problem. The capacitive buttons are part of the touch screen, the touch screen is extended over the bottom of the display.
You should buy a new one from eBay or similar. If you want to buy it with a frame (black part on the front), you will have to open your phone to see if the front speaker is big or small. There are two types of front speakers and they are not cross-compatible. If you just want to buy the digitizer, you will have to remove the old digitizer from it's frame and add some glue on the new one to make sure it won't stick out.
If you don't want to mess with your phone, I am sure there are paid services that will do it for you, since replacing the digitizer is fairly easy.

thanks for your reply mate!
Ok so I've found this one here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-To...Glass-For-Huawei-U8800-Ideos-X5-/170721993712
Since it says it's "original", I don't have to worry about the speaker problem right?

They are selling the digitizer, so there will be no problems as it's only the digitizer glass and not the frame around it. The frame itself is holding the digitizer and the speaker so that's why there may be issues when buying the front cover.
If you need a disassembly tutorial, check my Mediafire (signature) -> Documents -> U8800 Basic Maintenance Manual. It's the official disassembly guide so you can be sure you are doing it right .

Wait, that doesn't have the frame around it? I thought the black part surrounding the glass is the frame? I'm confused.......
I just want something that looks exactly like shown in that Ebay listing photo, where it has that bit of the connector part that you push into the motherboard (or whatever it's called on the phone).

On your listing, it does not have frame.
If it's without frame, it is simply the front glass with connector. If it is with the frame, it has the black curve too (and speaker with led).
See this:
Without frame.
With frame.
Hope it makes sense now

Yeah, but not much. Maybe you don't need to add any glue at all, the old one might hold it too.

hi blefish
just posted a similar question:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39201328#post39201328
is it the same solution? (the 4 buttons at the bottom do not work as well as the lower half of screen)
my speaker is 15 mm by 5 mm long (i looked inside). is it big or small?
all the ebay posts do not mention a frame - i will be happy not to mess with the glue
thanks

Hi guys,
I did have the same problem with a Huawei G 510. Digitizer broken and replaced, but still not working.
I have no action on screen. It lits but i can't press any button. Either the 3 buttons are working.
Checked the plug, checked some voltage in the pins.
Any other ideas ?
Thanks in advance,

Hi, had my defy about 12 months and it's great but tonight i dropped it and as soon as it hit the floor the noise it made i knew that something bad had happend. The glass and phone itself isn't damaged but about a third of the screen on the right has black, blue, red and white lines going in straight lines from top to bottom and also has a 45 degree line from bottom right corner all the way to where the screen is still "good". Also if i apply preasure to the damaged part the lines flicker and I can see parts of the screen that are otherwise invisible due to the lines. Does any one know if the screen is damaged beyond repair? Or do you think I could fix it in its current state? Any help provided will be most appreciated as I would be sad to see this phone go. I have attached a picture of the screen to help better undertsand.
Bill.

I think-cable screen. Need to disassemble and see.
Hey guys,
broke my Nexus 4 screen a few years ago - now I wanted to replace it just so I have a backup phone.
I removed the glass with some tools, and while doing so another layer at the bottom of the screen came off. (exactly the part that was broken and didnt respond to touches)
It now shows solid white color when the phone is turned on, and I cant find any info wether this layer
is supposed to come off while changing digitizer and glass or not.
Have I borked this completely? Would like to know before I waste money on the Digitizer + Glass instead of just getting a new front frame.
Edit: Okay found out that this is the polarizer which is pretty cheap on the internet.
Hello, i dropped my 829x yesterday. LCD screen is not broken down but vertical and horizontal lines appeared. Device is working but sometimes doesnt respond for touch. Im going to buy a LCD screen from AliExpress which costs about 32$, will it solve my problem?

try re-seating the connectors first. If you are lucky they might have been knocked loose.

Yeah, I replaced the screen/digitizer on my G2 and didn't have a good connection on the cable and it did the same lines. Better connection fixed it
