Do I need to buy new touchscreen for replacing battery? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi ,
I have gionee s5.5 mobile phone. Its battery is all dead. I went to service center and he said there is small piece of touch screen which is broken, if we open it by using machine , it might get broken , so its advisable you replace the screen as well. Now, he wants to charge $90 for touch screen.
My touch screen works perfectly fine and I dont see a reason why should i replace it.
i want to ask experienced members here. What should i do? Thats the only way out? I should ask some more repair shops ? If some repair center can only replace my battery without replacing the whole touch screen. That should be awesome.
Thanks

Touchscreen broken ?

Hi,
i bought a used mda via ebay and got it yesterday.
First thing i noticed was that the touchscreen didnt work right... i somhow managed to get through the calibration tool that poops up if i turn the device on. After that the touchscreen worked really good for 1 day and then suddenly it stopped working completely...
Anyone had this problem before and can give me some advice ?? I already got a 20e refund but i want to try to repair the device instead of selling it as broken.
And another question i have: Can i use the wm 2003se on a german device ??
Thank you
Seraptin
Edit: got it repaired myself... I opened the device and cleaned everything... there is still some dirt between the glass and the screen.. if anyone knows how to remove the glass to clean that, im listening But i dont think thats possible anyway.
my screen is broken
Hi,
Glad to read that you have repaired it yourself. I just dropped mine on the floor yesterday and the screen is broken. Touch screen still works but the screen is cracked and I can see a black spot. I wish someone can help me purchase a new screen. I would try to install it myself.

I got the same.
I dropped it twice, now my screen is f*cked.
When I bent it a little bit it goes back to normal.
I'm waiting for a fully backup program for all my apps/sms/photo's/etc before I want to give it to a repair center. Want to make it so dat I never dropped it and the screen just suddenly started to act very strange. Hope it will fall under warranty
Do you perhaps know a full backup program?
(something like you also use on a normal pc like making a ghost image, and when the phone returns you can load the image and everything is back to normal including your own apps/photo's/sms etc...)

[Q] recently changed

hi there, i recently changed my screen on my HTC G2, (the previous screen was cracked when it was given to me, and would cut me while i was trying to use it, and Tmobile refused to help with the problem at all, and the repair shops around where i live are charging an arm and a leg to do the repair, i am a college student and can not afford a $60 repair on a free phone) ANYWAY... the problem i am having is: where when i had the cracked screen the home, menu, back, and search screen buttons all worked FINE, now that i have changed the screen those touch buttons do not work at all. this has rendered my phone useless and i still can not afford to take it somewhere to get it fixed nor can i afford to buy more parts for this phone, and i can not buy another phone.
what should i do? is there a way to fix this problem? please help before i lose work because of a problem phone.
same problem :s

[Q] Xperia MINI PRO sk17 , screen remains black, although working

HI everyone My Xperia Mini Pro worked just fine, then one day the screen remained black after unlocking it... it still worked, i could feel the touch and vibrations, i could basicly do everything just that i wasn't able to see it. After some shaking, pressing, sliding the keyboard out, it came back to its normal state, but would go black again if i pressed it hard and hold...Now the screen is always black. I hadn't really dropped it, it wasn't exposed to high temperatures, it just happened......i took it to some service centers and they have changed the flex cable a few times but didn't work..they assumed it was a hardware issue.....My warranty's long out.....WHAT SHOULD I DO???...Is there a chance that a screen change might help it and what would it cost me? please help

You have to replace the screen of course . Not very expensive i think .

My friend broke his XMP screen bro, and in the service center they charged it too heavy such that he can buy an another device
try flashing stock ics just to check if it is software problem else you have to bear expenses if you cant miss such a good device

[Q] Xperia Mini Pro Touchscreen not working ?

Hello, I was having my Mobile phone in my pocket (SK17i). I took it out and suddenly it touch screen stopped working.
I was having MIUI 3 on my mobile with Extended Xperia Kernel.
I just want to know, what has occured, I mean if it is Software problem, or a hardware problem as there is no damage to mobile screen, not a scratch. The touch button, i.e. back button and menu button work properly, just the touchscreen is not responding.
I have tried to change the ROM to original one. Changed the Kernel too. Still no response.
Kindly help me. Please
Sorry mate, but all indicates hardware malfunction.
I got a similar problem with a different phone wen it spilled some cafe on it (very little).
I opened, cleaned and everything worked except touchscreen.
Could it be some humidity on the phone?
(hope you didn't pissed your pants )
Anyway, for this phone you can order a new LCD + Touch from the ebay and assemble yourself with a tutorial on FixIt (google it).
If it still has warranty just send it back
