My device is suffering from major dust problem under the screen. How could I clean under the screen and how could I prevent or slow down this process? Please help!
Not an easy task, the dust is probably between the lcd and the digitizer, seperating the two can be very tricky and you may end up with a busted screen. This was a common problem with the ipaq range but I havent had any problems with the xda.

My Touch HD, for 9 months now, perfectly works with the screen cracked.
Touch is ok, no problem.
No pixel missing (only the distortion from the cracks thats barely visible from straight look).
I'd like to change it my self but i dont know what to change....!!
touch screen: viewitem.eim.ebay.gr/HTC_Touch_HD__T8282_LCD_Screen_Display__Tools_New/220603358520/item
or
LCD: viewitem.eim.ebay.gr/Tctil_Pantalla_wGlass_Lens_Para_HTC_Touch_HD__T8282/150367803789/item
But it works now, if the risk changing it myself is high, from killing it, is it better to leave it as it is?
P.S. I had changed my screen 1 year ago and I payed 268€ (it cracked in 3 months after htc service)
Thnx in advance
it's probably the lcd since the touchscreen (digitizer) is made out of plastic. I don't think that'll crack very easily
OK i have a similar question...
But first of all can someone please clarify if the OP has the items the other way around? I mean is touchscreen (digitizer) the outer casing with the plastic screen and LCD the inside part?
OK now to my question. I dropped my phone and scratched the outer casing. Everything works fine but i would like to change the touchscreen just for aesthetics. Reading many many many tutorials i noticed most people faced problems trying to replace lcd screen only or touchscreen only and prefer to buy the bundle. My question is if i buy the touchscreen that the OP states here : viewitem.eim.ebay.gr/Tctil_Pantalla_wGlass_Lens_Para_HTC_Touch_HD__T828 2/150367803789/item isn't just a matter of connecting the digitizer to my existing LCD? Are they connected with a conducting adhesive tape as i was reading on the tutorials? Or this is not the part connected with the adhesive?
Thanks a lot for the help and sorry for hijacking the thread.
I've changed only the digitizer in my Blackstone but its really difficult job and took me about half day to finish. The digitizer its glued to LCD and you need to be very careful to separate them. I've done it only because i bought this HD very cheap for parts but next time will probably buy the whole part (LCD+Digitizer).
don't change digitizer
my touch-panel was not working correctly,i bought a digitizer to change it self but the lcd is broken ... impossible don't try.
i recommend you to buy complete set lcd+digitizer , its need only one click on motherboard
be carefully

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's possible, I did it yesterday
Alright, so I love my Rezound, even if I bought it used. There's one issue though. There's quite a bit of dust under the digitizer, to the point where there are little clumps (?) of dirt / dust there (like a couple mm's in diameter). My screen messes up quite a bit, in that the touch messes up and spazzes out, doing random things. It happens A LOT in sunlight and it's frustrating, especially with a pattern unlock, as I can be locked out or it goes int the emergency call area and dials random crap sporadically. If I turn the screen off and tap it it stops. I'm thinking about cleaning the digitizer off, and I don't want to replace the whole thing. Could the dust be the cause of these issues I'm having? I know that dust is conductive apparently so it's possible, right?
I got this phone for $95 bucks (everything besides the screen dust is in near perfect condition), so warning me about just taking apart the digitizer doesn't bother me. I can do this.
It sounds like someone replaced the digitizer or LCD and didn't route or properly connect the digitizer flex cable. Search this sub forum for "digitizer replacement" or "screen repair" to avoid some of the gotca's when taking the phone apart (such as dealing with the cables and the sticky tape holding the screen & digitizer in the phone)
So i replaced the front glass on my s4. everything went pretty smoothly for the 3+ hours I was at it. Until this morning, now the touch is acting up. I'v been using the "yet another multitouch" app to test. It'l register additional "ghost" touches say like when I touch screen with two fingers it registers 3 separate touches. Also when I touch in one spot it will register for a only a second or two.
I hate life at this point, I'm at a loss. I'm going mental.
There's no dust/water/gunk under the screen I know this for I cleaned it dry it hasnt been near any source of liquid.
I don't know if there is something I missed? a specific part of the phone that needs to be entirely clean for the glass to register with the digitizer? I'm still amazed at how it just registers through the glass....
thanks ?
Bump....
I'm having the same problem...
something isn't aliened/sitting right or there is dirt(even if you can't see it)
what did you use to clean it ? 90% rubbing alcohol is the only option anything else will leave residue, do no use acetone(nail-polish remover) you will permanently damage the LCD and or digitizer
or the replacement front-glass is warped which if you bought from some random "china seller" is very likely
I don't know why this happened. I'm using the tempered glass screen cover. Can anyone say what it this and what should I do?

Run some of the extra tools in AnTuTu to check if it's an actual screen problem.
Might be a "bubble" under the screen protector - can you "move" it with your finger when applying pressure?
Is it a spot where the screen is brighter? If so, I think it's a defect related to the backlight. I bought a cheap replacement screen for my Nexus 5 when I broke my original one and over time it's developed more and more bright areas. I suspect something is delaminating causing uneven backlighting. I believe it can also happen due to water/liquid damage, but in my case phone phone did not get wet.
Actually, I just tried twisting my phone and also applying pressure to the screen and noticed the LCD reacts (flashes) in those areas when I press hard, so I think it may be an issue with the LCD panel itself, not the backlight. In any case, I doubt there's much you can do about it, and be warned it could get worse (I used to have a spot or two near the bottom of my screen, but now I have them all over the screen.) In my case I've just learned to live with it, telling myself having paid $35 for a screen which developed this problem is a lot better than living with a cracked screen, and I'll have a new phone soon, but I would not expect this problem with a new phone.
I heard the screen has to be taken off to access the internals of the S6 Edge. Problem is there is a hairline crack all the way across the top of the glass and i'm scared taking it off might make it worse.
Any hardware gurus here can tell me if there is any way to replace the battery and the charging flex without cracking the screen any further?
Thanks!
Screen does not have to come off ,only on S6 flat. Actually it's an easy fix https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+S6+Edge+Charging+Port+Daughterboard+Replacement/47481
