If im using my phone, more and more im seeing the screen auto-zooming, and selecting stuff by itself.
the unit IS waterdamaged, but i think this is just a toasted digitizer screen. Can anyone confirm this before i purchase it?
Thanks,
Dan
Edit: Just in case it is, i bought a new digitizer for it. Hope its the issue, i hear alot about these on the Iphones, and ive replaced a few myself.
Normally, I would say it's definitely the digitizer. But since you say it is waterdamaged, it could be anything.

How much did you pay for it and how hard is it to install?

I dropped my phone and my screen is now shattered.
Anyone know where I can have it replaced, or have any recommendation to how I can have it fixed
Thanks

Your best bet would be to try a cellphone/electronics repair shop, wouldn't recommend doing it yourself.

I know of a friend who was able to order a replacement iPhone 4 screen off ebay and replaced it herself. You might want to check that out.

Yeah, I'd only trust my friend to do this for me, cause random shady people who say that they can replace the screen within 3 hours never seem to come back D:

Yesterday I cracked my phone screen when I dropped it. Not massively bothered given it's barely visible, and I'm not that impressed with the s3 generally anyway, BUT - do you think the screen is now MORE fragile with the crack if I were to drop it again, or LESS as with a crack there is now less tension on the glass?
I don't know but I wouldn't recommend you find out.

Another cracked screen thread? Couldn't you have posted in one of the many other threads discussing cracked screens instead of creating a new one? Or are you just so special that your cracked screen warrants it's own thread? :silly:

Yep spot on.
I would say more fragile. Its like a plastic bag, once you start a rip its very easy to continue it without sizzors and it rips clean, just get a good case or try your best not to be clumsy

get a different phone if your not that impressed with it. good idea to insure a phone like this in the first place.

Yeah it's insured. Not worth paying the excess to get it fixed though. Maybe when I sell it.

What's the point if paying monthly insurance charges if you don't use you insurance when you damage your phone ?
Well, I'd resigned my fate to needing to replace my digitizer. Have a couple dead strips about 3/8 in wide, that go all the way across the screen. The first to appear is about 2/3 the way up, and the other near the bottom which came a week or so later. Soft keys work fine. Get crazy screen action periodically and freezes that can only be ended by screen off/unlock. Here is the strangeness though. Today the dead spots seemed to work, other than a hairline on either side of the dead spots. Noticed this when a city on my weather app loaded that was previously unaccessable (no rotation in app). Checked and confirmed dead spot anomaly with a multitouch utility. Anyway after a little use the full dead spots seem to be back. Any ideas as to what's up? Haven't heard of this happening. Could this be an indicator of a torn ribbon? Has anyone experienced this? Thanks.

You can flash PSDFIX or send your Atrix to service, cause propably it's hardware issue.

Probably not. It's very likely a hardware failure, so it's kinda like asking how do you fix a burnt lightbulb.

Can somebody tell me what parts I need to buy, for repairing my Atrix at home? Has somebody experience in fixing this problem?

There are digitizers on ebay for a reasonable price. I just ordered one that comes with the digitizer, half a dozen tools and a precut adhesive to attach the new digitizer for about $60 us. Seems to be an all inclusive. Just search "atrix 4g digitizer" filter new and buyitnow an.d you'll find it no problem.

I just need the digitizer, right or do i need anything else?
Thanks

This is the one I bought. Has everything including tools. Need adhesive which is included in this auction.
Got My GS3 I9300 now so not using Atrix anymore (good thing too). Replaced digitizer myself and Atrix is like new. Not more than a couple days after the atrix repair was complete, my daughter got her 2 week old iphone stolen so I sent it to her to use. Some douchebag kid asked her to use her phone to call his mom and as soon as she gave it to him the [email protected]#!$%^ little piece of sh!t took off like the wind. Hope some day the little prick tries it on some olympic blackbelt with no conscience who then proceeds to slowly dismantles him piece by piece, or at least make his hands permanently unusable. Anyway the link I provided is a good source for atrix digitizers.
Thanks all and good luck!

Do you have some tips to share about digitizer replacing? does it need glue or some adhesive?
Thanks in advance. I want to do it but too scared that some screw or somewting will turn bad
Much appreciated

It's really simple. You only need adhesive (glue, double-sided tape) if you're getting just the digitizer, without the frame. I wouldn't advise that since it can get messy. Other than that, you only have to pay attention to the rather short and fragile flat cable that connects it to the motherboard. Just follow the disassembly videos carefully and don't be lazy to remove extra components like the screen, even if it seems unnecessary. It might make all the diference in the world.
Hi everyone, I bought a complete black housing for the htc one but I cant find a guide to do it, the one from ifixit is not that great.

From the iFixIt teardown: "We won't lie, getting to this point was an arduous and daunting task. The amount of work required to separate the rear aluminum case and the front case was immense."
You sure you want to do this?

I saw the housing for sale a few days ago too, I don't remember what site it was though so I guess it's not a lot of help. But they are for sale and from what I remember it wasn't very expensive.
Here's one. Would be pretty crazy trying to do it though

Buddy let me save you the trouble. Do not attempt to take this phone apart. I got some scratches on my phone and lets just say if it takes HTC a while to do the repair then don't bother.

I got curious about this housing. I'm not sure if anybody actually read the description. It says Material: Plastic.
I work in a cellphone repair shop and I have come across a phone similarly built to the HTC One, the 8x. DO NOT ATTEMPT.. That being said, from the ifixit tear down it seems utterly impossible to do any "fun hardware mods" like a housing change. This phone has no way to open it other than to open it from the display assembly, and its glued down. The Galaxy Nexus is clamped together by its plastic outer housing and bolted together by the screws inside the housing, which is relatively easy to replace and swap out. This is not the case on most new HTC phones. DO NOT TRY IT!

This is what I was about to mention, that this is probably for the China version of the ONE. The one that has dual sim, sd slot with removable back.

Factory replacement.
I dont think this is a good idea.
OP: If you decide to try this, can you make a youtube video for us?
I still do not recommend you do this, you will end up with a broken LCD assembly..

Hello everyone this will be my first post on here I haven't really posted anything because most of my answers I find them on the search bar. But I haven't really found a solution to this problem. Well here is the story my friend found this sprint note 3 completely broken had no battery no stylus. It does have a bad imei, but I like to fix phones so she give it to me. I bought a verizon digitizer with frame and stylus I also bought a battery. Put it all back together but the cell phone wont power up I was wondering if any of you had any advice to what it could be? One are of the phone does gets really hot when plugged in the one with the green sticker. I was also wondering what arw the gold pins sticking out thanks.
Did she find it outside? I'm thinking along the lines of untraceable water damage.... shame, would have been one heck of a come up!!!
