hey fellow modders,
i recently dropped my legend on a trek resulting in a cracked digitizer and screen. for replacement i was looking for cheap broken legends on ebay to replace the broken screen and digitizer and came across two items which say
"ALTHOUGH THE PHONE DOES SEND & RECEIVE CALLS
THE TOUCH SCREEN FOR THE DROP DOWN BOXES SOMETIMES
WORKS & SOMETIMES DOESNT, HENCE SPARES OR REPAIR."
if the digitizer and screen is sourced from such a phone will my perfect (was perfect before it was dropped) legend also inherit the mentioned problem?? apparently this is a common problem with legends.
Thanks very much and mod on XDA!!
Hi guys, I just found a purple spot on my screen. Just a little smudge, barely visible (not at all in normal use) but it can be seen when the screen turns white. Is this a HW problem ? And can it be connected with dropping the phone before a week ? I assume that it would have appeared adter the drop, but it appeared today, I'm 100% sure that it wasn't there yesterday when I was reading + the spot is in lower right corner and the only little sign of the drop (nothing is damaged,just the corner of the phone) is on the upper left corner, where it hit the ground. I've never had any problems with my phone,for over a year now. Runnig CM10+Siyah.
thanks

A pic would help too... Did you try connecting it to an external display, Most likely a screen burn because the amoled screen is very hard to break you only break the glass in front of it usually. Maybe screen wear how long has it been since you bought your phone?

hi, thanks for an answer. this is the photo, like I said, it's barely visible on it.. but I also think that it hasn't anything to do with the drop. it is a year now, with heavy (really heavy) usage.
edit: the scratches are just screen protector and it is not problem with it, I tried to remove it.
Hi there,
my girlfriend smashed her Galaxy S3 sometimes. Now it's done, the glass is broken in the upper left corner. The screen worked fine. A few days later she dropped it and dropped it again... i think she needs some wooden sticks to make a bushfire to call her friends. After some drops the screen stopped working fine. The screen turns black and if i push the upper left side a bit, the screen apears... very purple. I watched some tutorials about replacing the glass'. So i opend the galaxy s3 checked the ribboncables and after reasembling the screen won't start anymore. The softkeys doesn't apears. The phone is booting and make sounds. That means, power is there but no power for the display. I only want to now if the display is okay or not, to buy a new glass. But now i have these power problem. Somebody know how i can fix it? Or do i need a new display with digitizer? It's not cheap... a glass is much ceaper .

Not sure how that happened...
Thanks in advance for looking.
Ordered a screen replacement for my wife's busted S3 screen. Got it, followed directions....got the area around the headphone jack a little too warm, but continued and finished removing the screen. Once I had the screen off, I thought it would be a good idea to power it up to make sure everything was working, especially the top left corner of the screen that was closest to the over heated spot.
To my skeptical surprise everything was cool. Took a picture, looked at some higher res pictures....just to make sure everything seemed normal, to which it did. Powered down, removed the battery and the SIM card and continued on.
I cleaned the screen with alcohol as the directions stated, put everything back together..and NOTHING. The thing is bricked. Any ideas how? I wasn't doing anything remotely related/close to the ROM. The only difficulty I had with any part of this (aside from the aforementioned over heating) was with the two ribbon buttons at the bottom, which got slightly tangled in the tape.
Before I attempt to 'unbrick' this does anyone have any other ideas? Battery is good, phone has been plugged/unplugged while attempting to power up....I didn't take anything else apart so I can't think of anything else that would have goofed up this phone.
If your LCD was broken a new bit of glass wouldn't fix it. It's almost impossible to change just the glass without damaging the digitizer. Most alcohol will destroy an LCD so cleaning it with that is a terrible idea. If you plug your phone into a computer see if it connects, that will at least tell you that the phone is still working, just broken display.

Awesome. Per the instructions: "clean screen with Isopropyl alcohol to remove any excess glue"
Plugged in or otherwise, I get no LEDs, vibrations....nothing. Wondering if a jtag would even be worth it?
Hi everyone! Im having a slight issue with my Motorola Atrix 4G. I admit I dropped it in a puddle, or rather I had it in its clip on my belt and the clip got stuck open and when I got out of my work vehicle PLOP! I immediately turned it off removed the otterbox and removed the battery. Then I shook out the water got home and put it in rice. after a few days I tried to turn it on and all I got was a white screen. My fiancée took it apart and cleaned all the connections. we turned it on and it worked! Well sort of. My screen now has a cauliflower pattern of multicolored pixels going from the top of my screen to about three quarters of the way down. when I unlock my screen the colors aren't right. can anyone give me ideas about what is wrong?
Lucky you! It still works!
Humidity has got into the layers of the screen, afaik, you should get a new one!

Hi guys, whenever my phone drops a few centimetres to a flat surface, the phones display goes blank. Before it fixes itself i hav to drop it again on a flat surface. I am talking of a distance of even 5 cm. Is this peculiar to only my phone? It hasnt dropped from a high distance
