Broken screen replaced, touch screen all messed up - HTC Rezound

Long story short, cracked the hell outta my screen, ordered a stock replacement off amazon for like $20. I followed the instructions, got the screen on, looks great, everything seemed to go fine. Booted up, couldn't pull the lock ring. The captive buttons also do not work. Only like the top 50% of the screen works and its real twitchy if anything. I have taken this apart about 10 times already, re did the connections, even threw my broken screen back on. Moving it around barely touching the digitizer I was able to get the whole screen to work perfectly fine. As soon as I moved it and or seated it properly into the bezel, back to barely working at all. At this point I cant do much of anything with the phone. I am S-ON, rooted, rom'd, TWRP. Anyone have any ideas? I knew I should have just left it broken...:crying: Anyways, this voided my warrenty by removing the sticker on the screw, Anything I can do? And or can I get back to stock, unrooted without the screen working to touch? Pretty mad! My upgrade is not until March and I love my rezound...dummy!

Hi, I just did this on my wife's rezound today, took half a day for me, I scratched the LCD at top, has a half inch line,:crying: the buttons at the bottom barely lights up, other than that everything works..all I can suggest to you is make sure the two flimsy little cables are put back PERFECT..I watched 3 how-to's on youtube also. Good luck

Just did mine today too. Luckily is went smoothly but it took me almost an hour with cleaning up the old glue/tape and putting more down. I think it may be a bad pinch in the ribbon cable though. Might need another hopefully not.

[Q] VZW TP touch screen not working

so, i just got this phone about a week ago, and its already seen several near death experiences with all the flashing ive been doing. but this one takes the cake. all i did was put the phone in my back pocket, with the screen facing in, sat down for half a second, and when i took it out, the screen had been pressed so hard that the top layer of the resistive screen was stuck to the bottm, and not registering anything. i knew the first step to fixing it was getting it unstuck. but it still wounldnt work. did a hard reset. and now im stuck at my initial tap screen to set up phone screen, and i cant do anything. this is clearly a hardware problem. can anyone help me out?
lemme be the first to say it man, ouch lol
sorry about your screen, i fear the only way to fix would be to find another screen assembly, if you search the threads for the cdma raphael(herman) i beleive there is a detailed teardown of the phone that may or may not help you resolve your problem. here is a quick link to something along the lines of what your looking for but not really too detailed : http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC-Touch-Pro/787/1
ive done that, but usually break the screen completely. i have an extra us cellular tp that has a bad keyboard and front panel buttons but screen and touch works. i just use it as a extra battery charger. has some scratches, but works. ill send it to you if you send me your old one. the screen has a double-stick tape that holds it to the frame around the edges. let me know if your able to tear it down and think you can put it back together again. its a pretty straight forward process though.
Apply packing tape to the screen and pull as hard as you can.

[Q] Streak 5 not displaying anything

So, being clumsy, I left my Streak in my hoodie pocket. Well, we can all see where this would end badly once I bent down to pick something up. I did, dropped my phone and cracked the screen.
I quickly went and bought a replacement glass + lcd display, and replaced the unit. But, upon turning the phone on, I noticed if I hit it a little too hard on one corner, It would restart, and the vibrator motor had ceased to work.
So I figured, hey, I'll just rebuild it again. So I took it apart. Looked through everything, took my time in putting it back together, because maybe everything wasn't fitting snug.
Now, When I turn it on, every thing is on, buttons light up, and the screen is lit up, but it is black. I never even get to the Dell logo. After about a minute the buttons dim, as if in idle. So i believe the phone still works, but maybe the connections on the MoBo is faulty? Any help would be nice, thanks.
check to see if the ribbons are snugged in place.

I agree take it apart and chech your work. I had problens with my camera and flash. It was tge connector not being fully seated
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Well, I just took off the rear cover and reseated all 3 connections, pushed em in as smoothly and far as they would go. But, same thing. Black screen. But the LED is still working...
I'm having the very same problem. This is my second replacement screen and neither displays anything except black screen with backlight on, and the home + settings + back buttons remain lit. I can hear my phone starting up and receiving messages, but I cannot see anything. I've taken the phone apart and put back together five times between two replacement screens.
Does anyone know what ribbon cable might be at fault for this particular issue? The largest ribbon cable was shipped bent across the circuit board on both screens; there is a permanent creese in both ribbon cables, but I'm not certain this is causing the issue.
Any insight or assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Touchscreen stops working / random presses

Recently my touchscreen has been acting up on me. Sometimes it will either lock up completely and ill just press power 2x to get it to work again. other times stuff will randomly start to open or if its on the home screen the phone will switch pages left and right at a very high rate of speed the screen almost looks like its flickering.
this just started yesterday, ive ran 2 antivirus apps on the phone and both say its clean so i doubt its a virus, im not sure if its hardware or software related, im thinking about doing a re-flash, but i have a feeling that might not fix the issue..
has anyone else encountered this problem? it can get annoying at times cause it almost stops me from using the phone completely.
Edit: I would also like to note, i thought it was the screen protector i had on, but i took it off and the screen is still acting up
I had this happen last night after I installed a screen protector I got from eBay (they were $4 for 10 with free shipping). I'm guessing it was something in the glue because as soon as I took it off, the phone went back to normal. It always seemed to be 'pressing' in the same spot because I was trying to send a text and it kept popping up with a menu about the contacts info. Also, when that would pop up, the capacitive buttons at the bottom (menu, home, back and search) wouldn't work so I had to lock the phone and unlock it to gain control.

Did any water get in the phone?
i have same problem and make me shock,
my motorola have anti glare screen guard
while iam eat chicken soup and play mini plan , i didnt notice if my finger are wet couz of soup, meanwhile i notice that at that time the touch screen are still good i can play the game, so i quickly try to clean it up using tissue , while i try clean up my phone keep pressing like crazy so i stop to clean it but it keep pressing like crazy, event i have already out from the game, i cannot stop it, so i must pull out the battery and put it back,
i think Atrix the touch screen are too unstable , compare with milestone milestone is better but it's less sensitive then atrix
it normal again after pull out the battery and i clean it up
I never got any water inside the phone, only on the screen protector when applying it to the screen as directed in the instructions for the skinomi screen protector.
the screen protector has been on the phone for 2 months no issues. its only now i see this happening.
i removed the screen protector to see the issue still there.
i have done a factory restore with no changes
i downgraded to 1.52 with the random tapping still going.
i think it might be hardware related.
im going to bring the phone to an AT&T store for a swap

[Q] Digitizer issues

Hello everyone. A few months ago, my phone screen broke, and I replaced it. Ever since then, my digitizer has been funky. When I turn my phone on the top half of the screen is static and the bottom half is black. It shows a bunch of moving parts (the boot animation) then goes black. It also prohibits me from using Amon Ra which is my favorite recovery because the whole thing is static. When I press the power button after the boot animation, my homescreen is on & my phone is fine. I broke my screen again (don't judge me lol I see you looking at me with that face ) and instead of putting ANOTHER screen on, I bought both the screen and digitizer already put together. So last night I lost all touch capabilities of my digitizer, when I did swype it did the mark of satan by itself (possessed rezound?) and overall was just terrible. I opened it up, cleaned up the ribbon, put it back, and 95% of touch worked. Did the same thing today and 100% works, however, I still get the weird static-turn-on thing. I assume it's the ribbon port for the digitizer..so my question is, is it possible to clean that? I was thinking with a really soft toothbrush w/ alcohol on it but I don't wanna ruin my phone for good. Thanks in advance

Use what i do for computers. Take a new pencil, never used eraser, and use the eraser to clean the connectors. take q-tip with alcohol. brush across it, and fan it dry. about 2 minutes is good. Alcohol dries pretty quick. Hopefully this works for you.
I have been having some problems as well. I replaced the digitizer myself and the phone boots up completely fine and normal. I just have some "dead" spots on the digitizer which I cannot seem to calibrate. I have tried apps and everything. Is there anything I can flash through recovery?
Has anyone come up with a fix for this?
Thanks in advance.

Installed Working Digitizer now doesn't work

My wife dropped her S3 and broke part of her digitizer so I knew I had to replace it. I found one on ebay and it was delivered days later. First thing was hooking the screen up for testing before pulling the phone completely apart. With screen attached the phone boots up success the touch screen works. I shut the phone down, pull it apart, remove broken screen, attach new screen and reassemble...Phone boots and looks great but now the touch screen doesn't respond!!!
WTF is going on?! I tested the thing before hand. Used a hair dryer so there wasn't any excess heat and used kitten gloves during assembly.
Any idea what I can do to get the touch screen to start working again?
TLR - Tested digitizer before installing after installation complete touch screen doesn't work.
the only possible answer you're gonna get is that you did something wrong. and there's no way for us to know what. so try again
