Help! Did I screw up my phone? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi could somebody tell me if I screwed up my screen repair? This was stuck on the phone and then I tried to get all the glass off of it but I don't know what the cable does. I bought the screen lens off of eBay but does this now mean that I've screwed my lcd digitiser now?!

Those are the lights for the bottom soft keys. I suggest you find a YouTube video on how to proceed before you go any further.

Letter P isn't working

The far right edge of my touch screen isnt responding to my touch. I've called a few places looking to repair it and have been quoted $80-90. Is this a sign of a digitizer which shouldnt cost $90 to fix or the LCD display?
Is it just the keyboard or every app doesn't respond on that part of the screen?

Its that part of the screen. The far right side/edge of my screen isnt responsive. So digitizer or LCD? I can type the letter P in landscape only.
digitizer. Screen is just a display, digitizer recognizes any/all touch input.

Didnt work for me, but it might just work for you.
Thanks. Maybe I'll replace the digitizer myself. How hard can it be?

[Q] Trouble with the home button?

Picked my One up today to replace my freshly broken Nexus 4. So far so good, but this home "button" registers about one out of five presses. Anyone else seeing this behavior? The back button works fine every time.

Got a screen protector on it?
The sensitivity is a bit low for it to register perfectly. Happens on mine.

I sure do! I guess I will try peeling it back and see if it helps.

I have no screen protector and my home button doesn't register often either. Also when trying to touch places in the standard browser it doesn't register immediately. Starting to think there's a defect in screen or software.

I'm having the sane issues it does it with the back button as well. Did it before I put the screen protector on it. It doesn't help that they sit so close to the screen. When I start tapping frantically trying to make it work I end up pressing whatever is right above it on the screen. Thinking about returning it to try another but if it's a common problem I don't want to waste my time. It's not too bad usually at least one of the two buttons will register if the other one won't

Yeah it's my back button as well, I thought about replacing. It seems that quite a few people are having the issue. I don't know should I try and replace or if it's a software issue.

I know I just put the screen protector on along with a carbon fiber skin. The idea of having to go and deal with the people at AT&T alone makes me want to just deal with it. Also afraid I'll just get another one

I agree, if the issue is only on our variant then it could be software or hardware. I have no idea what to do.

Me neither. I suppose deal with it and wait to see how common it is and if any dev can fix it. I'm waiting to unlock and root anyway

I had the same issue on my device. It took three swaps to figure out it wasn't the phone but, the Zagg HD screen protector I had on it. Once I took it off, everything started behaving as intended,
I noticed last night that my Zagg screen protector still had some water bubbles (very tiny ones) near the home button. So today after another night the bubbles are gone and the home button works well enough I can assign a double tap short cut.
Never had any issues with the back button, just for reference.

Noticed the issue as well. Saw it mentioned in a recent review of the phone. You have to be really precise because the buttons are so small.

Precise isn't the word lol. I hope a software update will fix it completely

I'm almost 100% sure it has to do with the screen protector.
I was using an Otterbox Defender case which has the screen protector with the soft keys uncovered. I was using the phone without a hitch. But this morning I decided to use a different screen protector other than the one provided by Otterbox and that screen protector covers the soft keys.
Now I'm having issues with the sensitivity of the soft keys.
Somehow covering the soft keys with the screen protector affects the sensitivity level of the soft keys. I'm thinking of uncovering the soft keys just to finally confirmed that, that is the problem.

Same problem on Sprint variant. I went to the store and the display model also had same problem. Neither had a screen protector.
This is either a widespread hardware defect or a widespread software problem.
Some have said the latest update to the Taiwan variant fixed it.
RE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245637
I have had the issue as well and I believe it's software, rather than hardware. If my back button freezes and I turn the screen off and then back on, it works fine. It only seems to do it when I "overload" the back button in an app that needs it a lot, like this one.

Blue horizontal lines

I've had this phone for a couple of weeks and just noticed blue horizontal lines when I look at my phone from the bottom up but when I hold my phone facing me I dont see them, is it supposed to be like this?
Can someone confirm this? Or is this a defect
Thanks in advance

I have the same thing . On mine so you are not alone . I'm not sure if it's a defect tho

That is probably the digitizer grid for the capacitive touch sensing. It is normal and all phones (apart from a few that have in-cell touch) have it.

Xperia Mini Pro touchscreen hardware problem

Hello everyone! The screen of my phone has a crack, now the right side and the top side part of the screen is not responding. I have a question, if I take it to a repair center will they changed the flex that connects it to the keyboard or they will just replace the screen and how much will it cost? Thank you!

repair center replace touchpad+display which cost 4k
if screen is working and touch pad is dead,you can get a touchpad for 1100 rs from whole sale shops
Can you change the touchpad only? Because I think it is attached to the digitizer. The Display was working perfectly just the touch has a problem.

Maybe some more details to sort it:
- did the rom boot normal
- "down left corner" of what, the button or the touch display
- if you boot into bootloader or recovery, then is it ok, is the power button working, is the touch screen functional in touch recovery?
it's no the rom problem,in the corner where is het home" soft button
if I reboot to bootloader it's working if I press hard the corner,and the touch screen is workig fine in touch recovery

You can find lots of videos on youtube. My guess is you'll need a new screen if it's the cable. If it's the connector on the motherboard you'll probably need a new phone ?
wow,it's not a chance tobrepair this old?

You need to be very skilled to solder parts that small and not destroy anything. Anyway, it's cheaper to buy another used phone than to replace screen or motherboard than replacing anything with new parts. And if you buy another phone you still have spare parts you can use if needed or sell them to get some of your money back
