Sorry fat finger post to soon..
Ok purchased digitized and replaced it. Looked good everything went fine. Till I tried to make a call the screen just goes black and unresponsive. Have to remove battery to fix it. My brother called and it rang but when I answered it went black and I couldn't hear him but he said he heard me. Please help me with this issue.

Ok. Update it works if you use a wired headset. Maybe the speaker is not installed correctly. It was attached to the digitizer when I removed it so maybe it is installed wrong.

It is the speaker and the proximity sensor. There is a tiny rubber cover with a hole in it, which goes over the sensor next to the speaker. It needs this to function properly, otherwise the screen will go off on calls and not come back on.

Is it u shaped. Kinda goes around three sides of the speaker.

Is there a way I can make it work or buy that piece.

Ok new update if you push down on the digitizer in the top right corner it will work so it is the proximity sensor. On another note my digitizer is not flush with the case. This is prob due to the metal shield that I had to pry up to attach the digitizer. I will try and find some good two sided tape to pull the digitizer and lcd back down.

Hi tbone22, same problem as you, I have removed digitizer for 3 times, and finally, speaker works fine, but the screen goes blank on calls, and I must to press screen to came again.
If you have found a solution for this, pls explain it ( double sided tape, or something similar.
Regards.
Oh such fun. Been through this myself.
Here's my curiosity... Are we installing the new digitizers wrong, or is the replacement part different in such a way that it prevents the sensor from properly working?
Also, The sensor is quitesensitive, if you remove the digi and get the sensor in a position where it's unblocked, and load up Z-devicetest which will show you the sensor's state in real time, you'll see a finger within 1-2"of the sensor triggers it, even if it doesn't really block much light.
Seems like a relative measurement, which makes me wonder if some calibration needs to be done after replacing a digi to get the software to understand what the sensor is telling it.
Then there's also the curiosity of the sensor's durability -- is it a hit sufficient to take out the digi also likely to damage the sensor? I considered replacing the sensor itself, as it's a simple SMT component on it's own small little board (read: relatively easy to rework) but couldn't find a domestic source of the part (Capella CM3602)
There is a tiny rubber cover for the sensor with a hole in it. If it is missing the sensor doesn't work properly. I had this problem when I replaced the digitizer and realized I had not mounted the cover correctly. Now the sensor works flawlessly.

There is a way to disable the sensor it is in a thread titled proximity sensor something. As far as rubber boot I wish you could buy it I guess mine was thrown out with the old digitizer. If you use the disable function you will need a app like screen suite to lock your keys when you make a call.

Where did you purchase the digitizer? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but when you search for htc aria digitizer on bay they are charging $400-500. Also, what's the easiest way to replace the digitizer? Anyone have a link to a YouTube video? Can you just pull up the screen or do you have to take the whole thing apart? I saw one vid where the guy pulled the whole thing apart to change the LCD, but what about just the digitizer?
You could probably hack some sort of DIY replacement for the rubber boot. I believe all it does is block the sensor's peripheral vision, limiting its vision to straight through the circular windows on the glass.

Oh drat. Guess I lost that little piece. Maybe someday (like next time i smash the phone lol) I'll rig something up
TY for info!

I dont know why it is with these newer model phones, but just from the suggestion posts that came up when i entered the title of this thread, but My LGOT and i guess even the G2 have an issue where dusts starts to build up under the sceen....
Ive only had my phone for a little over 2 weeks, but even after the first couple days, i noticed that there were already a few trickles of dirt right around the middle of my screen.
I guess my main question is, is there anything i can do about this, has anyone had the same troubles, and what can we do to prevent this from happening?
In Thailand this is general problem of LG Optimus One
you should contact LG Customer support
they'll open your phone and blow dust out
if dust cause touchscreen malfunction they'll change new one for you
some people guess that dust already in the phone due to assembly process from factory
some guess maybe dust go through usb port
I have my phone since 2 days and i already have a dust spot in the lower right corner. This is annoying! If this spot is growing i will contact the costumer support.

I am working on dusty area, but no dust under screen. Phone is 1 month old.
Me I have not this problem, but remains me the same issue with the iPhone 2/3 (google iphone dust screen).
I think it's a common problem with capacitive screen, but no "easy" solutions to fix it...
poor construction quality, imho.

this is one of those instances where a really cheap phone shows its faults. the phone is free on contract and little of $200 without. with it being so incredibly cheap, there is going to be something wrong that causes concern.
Im okay with it happening as long as it gets fixed and the problem is acknowledged by both LG and the phone carriers. it seems like many people are having this problem at the moment and T-Mobile is willing to exchange it in store, so good on them for being considerate.
i have the same issue. Don't know how to prevent that

Same Here! Very annoying because the phone is less than one week old!
I actually have not this problem my device is now over 2 weeks old. Maybe it depends on the area you are or temp.? ect...

No dust here either. I have a silicon case, I don't think it helps very much.
just disassemble it. There is no warranty seal. You'll find the dust inbetween the lcd screen and the capacitive overlay.

Hi! please tell us how to do it!
I too have this problem Can any one please let us know how to get rid of it.
I have the same problem with my Optimus One, dust is starting to gather on the right bottom corner and it seems to have increased since the first time I saw it. I've thought about buying a can of compressed air and trying to blow it near the edge of the screen but maybe that will just make it spread even further.
I've also thought about unscrewing the screws on the back panel of the phone and clean it but I'm afraid that it will affect the capacitive screen in some way making it less responsive and that after I assemble it back together it'll become even less air tight and thus accumulate even more dust.
Maybe I'll reclaim my warranty but I'll have to un-root my phone and wipe it clean before leaving it at the store and it's going to be a pain in the ass to reinstall everything when it returns.
Will they replace the mobile for this problem?
You can back up everything by titanium backup and copy the titanium backup folder from sd to your pc or pen drive. In your newly replaced phone you can copy back this folder to sd card and after installing titanium backup application you can restore everything.

Wow, DUST really get into the phone and I thought I was the only person experiencing this... actually it's on the "RIGHT BOTTOM PART" as posted S3nd41 and probably half of the users here has this problem....
Dropped my 3D, backlight is very dim or none at all. Do I replace the LCD or digitizer? Or, is there a separate light? Any help is greatly appreciated....
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA
I believe the backlight is part of the LCD itself. You are going to have to open the phone up to fix it anyway, so you might as well open it up and just see if maybe a connector came loose or something first before you buy a new lcd.
You need to order a replacement LCD if you don't have or want to go the insurance route. I replaced the LCD and the digitizer (glass screen) on my wife's EVO, not too hard if you follow the videos on Youtube.
Thanks

i would replace the LCD... all the Digitizer does it recognizes your figure jesters
Welp, woke up this morning to my phone screen turning of randomly as if it was against my head during a call. In order to make it come back, I had to press the lock button. Then I pressed home while still in call and locked the screen, pressed the unlock button to get to the lock screen and every time I touched the ring to unlock the phone, the screen turned off again. This forced me to yank the battery to get the phone back.
Same thing happened after another call, so had to reset again.
Downloaded AndroSens and under the proximity sensor tab, it says sensor_Status_unreliable and the number/bar stay at 0 regardless of whether my hand is over the sensor or not.
Is the proximity sensor in my rezound toast?
Some people have reported dust making it go wonky.
Do you have a screen protector covering the sensor on the front... I have had this issue. Just cut the protector around the sensor if that's the issue

Unfortunately, no dust on the top of the screen and I don't see any under it. I'm familiar with pulling the phone apart, but don't really have the desire to do that just to check for dust haha.

I do have a protector, but it already came with notches around the sensor and FF camera.
I have the same probably but mine is from the digitizer "floating" up because the glue is weak underneath. If i push on the screen by the proximity sensor to push the digitizer down again the sensor works again. Haven't been able to fix. Maybe your digitizer is loose also.

Yeah mine is loose but only on the left side so my screen is tilted although it hasn't affected anything else it's still very annoying

I've sent two rezounds back for the same problem. Call Verizon, they should replace it for you.

You can try blowing out the speaker grille at the top of the phone with condensed air. Might clear any dust. Otherwise, call verizon.
I would rather not have to return to verizon and get a refurb if i can help it. I got the phone in November when it first released, so I'll definitely be getting a refurb. Oddly enough, androsens had it working just fine last night before bed. Put my finger over it, sensor went to 9/9, removed finger and went to 0/9. Repeatable for 10 minutes.
Then this morning it isn't working again. I can see the faint red light inside the housing for the prox sensor is lit. I might try blowing it out and disassembling/reassembling to see if I can fix anything.
Thanks all.
My wife dropped her Rezound and smashed the screen. After purchasing and installing the screen it works, but not always. It seems to get random screen taps towards around the first quarter of the screen so it is always canceling what she is doing or typing extra letters when she is typing. I've taken it apart a couple more times to inspect it and it seems like all is connected soundly. Any idea on how to fix this?
Many thanks!
You can never be sure with 3rd party replacement LCDs and digitizers.
Greys right I bought a third party digitizer for I'm incredible and I seemed like some spots just didn't touch right, also you need to make sure there's nothing pinching the wire ribbon and its in strait, that could cause these problems as well. Hope this helps, remember always go OEM, batteries, screens, digatizers.. these components are made to a certain standard by HTC that third party manufacturers don't care about.

Thanks for the advice. However when I power off the screen, and press on the digitizer and turn it back on it seems to work better for a while. Might there be a loose connection I'm missing?
Where's the best place to buy an OEM digitizer?
Thanks again!
I'm not sure if you can buy an OEM digitizer.
Only from an old unused rezound as far as I know..

i have the same issue on a digitizer for my rezound. i have to turn the screen off and back on to fix it.
Hey everyone I'm new here, unfortunately my first thread here is bad one. I dropped my phone and the screen is now not working. Let me explain in more depth, the screen appears to be cracked on the inside of the phone. It can be viewed at certain angles, it looks like black streaks. The outside of the screen is fine. Now the phone is not completely black, the top left section pixels are lit up, but you cant make out anything. The bottom lights don't turn on from what I have tried. Can anyone tell me what exactly I need replaced and point me in the right direction? Or what else I should do to troubleshoot the problem? I can also provide a picture if needed. Thanks everyone!
Most likely you need to replace the entire digitizer/screen because if it was just the glass that broke, the screen would still come on just fine. Good luck!

Okay quick update so I can ensure I know exactly what I need replaced. So that top left of the screen that still works but is distorted, I can still see stuff and click on them so it works. And sounds also still work. So is it a digitizer issue? I thought digistizer was to control touches. Can the digitizer break in certain places and work in others? Well based off that what exactly do I need to replace and what did you mean by screen? Thanks for your help!
Can I see a picture?

I had a similar problem with my moms HTC Rhyme... Except she broke the digitizer in a way that there was a black area on the phone's screen, which quickly grew to cover 90% of the screen. You will have to replace the entire screen assembly(glass, digitizer, LCD, etc) Since you damaged the glass, the digitizer or the screen.
