Be careful with the 3rd party LCD/Digitizer's on Ebay. I had to replace the screen on my Wizard (same part as the Hermes) and I snagged one from Ebay, the Contrast is WAY down from the factory original part. Brightness is ok, but the colors are not near as vivid. Don't get me wrong, it's still very uasable, just not quite the same as factory.
I bought a HD2 with a broken touch screen, I ordered a replacement, put it in but it didn't work.
I soldered it and no connections touch eachother (tested with a multimeter).
do I have to close my HD2 completely before testing it out or something?

Yea of course please tell me you didn't try it with the screen of if so you may of screwed it up more
The device was off when I replaced it if that is what you mean By closing it I meant putting it back together, but I tried that with no positive results.
So any solutions?
buy a new one or buy selling the parts you have or keep them and buy a new one.
So what do you think the problem is?
Bump, does anybody have an idea on why it doesn't work? I really want to fix this phone so I can upgrade from a htc magic

Have you done this before? I mean replaceing the touch screen on a HD2? Did You follow all instructions?
hey guys getting a vibrant with a cracked digitizer for my g/f. correct me if im wrong but it appears to be next to impossible to replace just the digitizer from what i read.... (please comment if you have done it) i see the i9000 parts are cheaper everywhere but the buttons are different. i wont be running a stock rom on it and i plan on adding a ffc so....
1. would it be physically possible to use the i9000 replacement screen on it?
2. would the buttons be a problem? not sure what the square one on the i9000 is (trackpad?) or where the home button is if there is one....
3. does anyone have a clue or am i the first to bring this up? i have searched my self silly!
4. digitizers are cheap should i just try to replace it? whos done it and what do you glue the new screen with? (i cant find any decent write ups)
i know the i9000 and vibrant have diff roms but im hopping that has to do with the radios etc. maybe i can edit the keyboard file or something to make it work.. but not sure about that pad thing...
i know this is alot of questions and i dont expect one answer. if anyone has any knowledge on any of this id really appreciate it and thanks in advance!!! id like to join the samsung crew as ive always had htc (since g1) but always secretly wanted a samsung too haha so what better excuse than to get the gf one

Sorry to tell you but the i9000 screen wont work at all. You will mess up your phone up big time if you start messing with the screen/digitizer as its one unit. Call samsung repair and that may be your best bet for a new screen replacement.

It's not possible.
Call Samsung, maybe you can get it replaced for free (or really cheap).
I'm guessing that you don't have a warranty with T-Mobile, because they cover this (my screen was damaged, and I got a replacement).
The 'pad thing' is actually a big iPhone style physical home key - it's plasticky and ugly, and the reason I got the Vibrant over the i9000. You definitely won't be able to use i9000 components on the Vibrant, the i9000 screen and digitizer are built to accommodate that button, not the Vibrant's four capacitive keys.
They have the same back, though, so you can use i9000 cases and battery doors just fine.

Well if I used the i9k parts I would swap housing LCD and digitizer all together so the button and everything would be there. I'm pretty sure it would physically go on but not sure if I can get the buttons to actually work. I know you can edit the keypad file as I've done it on my mytouch 4g but not sure if that's all I'd need to do or not :/ figured someone might have been in a situation that they tried it and couldn't hurt to ask. I have warrenty and insurance on my mytouch but I'm buying the broken vibrant out right so I'd think I could buy the parts and put them in myself cheaper than anyone would charge... I've repplaced the screens on several phones already so not a problem there. Guess that's what ill do.
Another thing Id consider is the vibrant 4g screen as it has the spot for the ffc unpainted already and everything else appears identicle but only place I see it for sale there's a min 2 per order >< has anyone ever successfully replaces just the digitizer? Its sold seporate for 35 and I read you need a new ribon as its almost impossible to pull LCD from digitizer without tearing the cable.
Hey a quick question, has anyone been able to get the HTC keyboard mod to work on their S3 properly? On mine it's really small, pushed up against the left of the keyboard area rather than filling the whole keyboard area which is quite annoying >_> lol
Been so used to that keyboard now it's pretty much perfect, hate the ICS keyboard that doesn't even have the punctuation on the letters section of the keyboard...
Thanks for your time.
Try the HTC IME mod keyboard.
Don't look at the crappy themes on the dev page, you can make your own and I'm fairly sure you can have the stock theme too.
That's the one I have, problem is on the S3 it seems the keyboard height is fixed, so it shrinks the HTC keyboard down and doesn't widen it >_>
Get Smart Keyboard Pro from the Play Store, it looks the same but is more configurable.
Same Issue

I have exactly the same issue. I have also tried the suggestion Play Store download, and it just isn't as good or as user friendly as the HTC mod. I haven't even had my S3 delivered yet and I am concerned that I will be destined to not have a decent keypad. My first smartphone and experience with touch screen was the Hero, and I got used to the awesome phonepad style keyboard. HELP! (Please!)
To be really honest, Swiftkey 3 is better than the HTC keyboard... I'd just use that.

I'm in the exact same situation. Came from HTC Desire and really miss the HTC Sense IME. Especially, the T9 (keypad) version. Been looking around without finding a keyboard to match yet. Please update the thread if you find one and I'll do the same.
I really hope someone with the right skills will get this working. It sounds like a skin/theme problem of some sort...
Bumping this to see if there's any updates.
Getting s3 today but really want the HTC keyboard to work!

That's exactly what I was looking for for my S3. I temporarily switched from HTC and Samsung stock keyboard is unacteptable for me. Big thanks.
Hi guys, as you can see i am new here
I have htc one x+ and it has cracked screen. I think only touch screen is cracked and LCD is not damaged. I want to know if i am able to change only touch screen, because i heard that its difficult to separate LCD and touch from each other.
Also i want to know if i can change it by one x screen, as long as i am unable to find any screen for x+
I have AT&T version but at the top it says HTC not AT&T, so i cant really understand what to do as long as its a lot of options available on ebay. (Currently i am outside of USA so dont advice me to take the phone for repair, best opinion for me will be if i replace the screen by myself)
hey, hope this might help, i have a euro model(uk version) so i am unsure what screen you need ie frame+lcd+digitizer(it will be either sony or sharp)
does mean you would need to open you phone(voiding any warranty)

The same problem
I have the same problem and I don't know where i can buy a new one digitizer.
I found this replacement on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=331071120495
Does anyone knows if this digitizer works in the AT&T version? What did you do OP?
Im not sure where to get the parts but I should warn you to be very careful when replacing it. Its much easier to replace the entire assembly. When you do, make sure to be gentle. When I finally set the screen back in I accidentally pinched the ribbon and the LCD didn't work. Its very fragile! VERY!
Edit: is the at&t screen for the x+ the same as the at&t x?

Hi guyz,
I had a cracked screen on my HTC One X+ with a cracked screen
Two things that can help
1) The screen and the digitizer (both) is acutally a one piece hardware. So both have to be replaced.
2) The One X's screen is compatible with the X+'s screen (I've got the one x's screen now)
I'm in India so cant help with places to buy parts from.....but an online (ebay) search might help.
:good:
