Hey everyone, so my wife has the Poco F1 and broke the screen after just 2 weeks. I bought a replacement screen and front housing from aliexpress and got it yesterday. I tried changing the screen last night and almost everything sent fine. Turn the phone on and the display works but does not recognize any touch input.
I re-open the phone and disconnect and re-connect the display flex cable a few times all with same result.
I'm thinking probably a bad screen replacement but just wanted to see if anyone have any suggestions

Why would you try and fix it yourself when you have the warranty with you? Xiaomi can fix your phone. Maybe there's service charge (new screen replacement, labour, new warranty I guess).

I live in South America. there are no service center in my country. Bought off amazon. not sure how warranty would work if at all it applied to my case.
Bought it off US amazon using a package forwarding service that had it shipped to a address in US when they receive it for me and then re-ship it to my country where i pickup from them.
Pretty sure warranty would be almost impossible to claim

Sorry to hear that.
Alright there must be something you forgot.
Watch JerryRigsEverything's video in teardown of Pocophone. There must be something you forgot to connect with.
I am 99% sure that you missed something. I will replace a Redmi Note 4 screen tomorrow (similar hard work I think).
I recommend to disassembe and re-assemble again before you report and ask for a full refund or a re-send.
You should record that all cable in place and screen not functional if it's still a problem after you remove and reassemble to use as eveidnce for full refund.
Of course in this case ask them to send a tested one before you report. They will I am sure.
thanks for the advice. I do intend to do a full disassembly and try again.
I hope it did forget something during assembly but it's just one flex cable and i disconnect and re-connect multiple times. I also did watch a screen repair guide on youtube before i started and i took pics of everything as i go.
In the end in was forced to re-install the old cracked screen as my wife needed the phone. with the cracked screen the touch works. so it's weird that i would forget something with the replacement screen but not when putting back on the old screen

Usually it is an issue with the drivers. The cheap Aliexpress screens have this issue on some phones.
By the way, which ROM are you using? Sometimes these screens work with stock ROM but not with custom ROMs. So you can also try a few versions of the stock ROM and see whether the issue resolves.
Mine kinda died yesterday, after resetting the phone I got stucked inside twrp, not recognizing any touches. Then I flashed fastboot rom, touch still doesn't work. Did you get yours fixed? How?

Hey mate. could you help me out with this?
I installed new screen. I bought it years ago, but only now i got to do it. Anyways. No touch Screen seems to work fine otherwise. You mentioned about installing new TWRP to fix it? I've downloaded Platform-tools, ADB drives, looking for Magisk now ... Is this the right TWRP file > me.twrp.twrpapp-26.apk or > twrp-3.3.0-0-beryllium.img this one? How it is done from PC?
Ok, so i got pattern unlock. Connecting my mouse via OTG works, BUT i can not enter this pattern. I just cant get the line started. (OTG with same mouse works well in Galaxy S10, doing pattern unlock).
Looks like i have my debugging on, but boot loader is locked and because i cant get into menu, so i can not accept connections or change anything. What are my options here guys??
ADB shows what my device is unauthorised, but i can copy files and **** in windows.
Update.
I've done factory reset, unlocked the phone (bootloader). USB debugging he whole lot. Flashed latest 3.3.0.0 twrp and it did not fixed the touch issue, but i found out what screen registers a lot of touches. Like i click on everything like crazy. Will try to take the screen off completely tomorrow. See if i can use new screen with old PCB (from old broken screen). I bet i am going to brake it and end up with ordering new screen
Update 2.
It is impossible to split LCD screen from its PCB. In the process of taking off new screen, even tho i've done it super careful and screen looks mint, it does not turn on (just stays black). Visually no damage. I wander if i could overheat it while removing. But it looks intact.
Ordered new screen. Will update you later.
Well, eventually got a new screen. Got one dead pixel in it. But it is all glued in right now. So i don't know if i bother to change. It doesn't bother me, cant really see it most of the time.

my girlfriends heros touch screen has stoped responding for instance if i press menu i can press scenes but while im in scenes and select a new one i cant press done i have to use the scroll ball... anyone had anything like this??
any help greatly appreciated
thanks
It happened to mine, the only thing you can do is send it back. It sucks but the screen is faulty.
Send her round with it........... I'll see if I can help
Seriously though, buggered screen I'm afraid..
Had the same problem. Sent it in for a repair and got it back in 10 days.
I've got the same problem!!! I used to say that it was the best phone I've ever used but my mind is changed! :S
Same problem here. I can type with the top and middle of the screen, but the bottom is less responsive/sometimes non-responsive, and backspace doesn't work. Dave Hagenaars: Did you have to pay for the repair?
Aslong as it's under warranty HTC will repair it for nothing. It seems it's a fairly common fault. It come's back with a sticker asking you not to leave the phone in your pocket whilst sat down. Bless them.

My touchscreen works fine when holding it upright, but when the phone is laying down it gets really unresponsive. Anyone else having this issue?
Since it works sometimes, I'm guessing it must be software issue...
Hey,
Sometimes my HTC Hero acts weird.
Sense starts to jump between 2 screens (as if I'm constantly giving it input) when I'm doing nothing.
Also sometimes a press anywhere on the screen makes the phone think I'm pressing something at the bottom.
And last but not least, sometimes when I try to type something I lose the function of both the bottom left and right part of the screen, meaning I can't use backspace, the L, P, A and other various keys that reside there.
Does anyone also have these problems?
Is this hardware related or can I hope that this problem is solved with the 2.0/2.1 update?
Mine does the same
It happens to me as well, and i bought it abroad so no repair for me
Also - mine does the CRAZIEST thing - i can move the screen without touching it!! This is crazy - i just hover the finger above it and i can move the desktop left to right ("feature" only available when teh screen starts to jerk around)
I have no idea what to do - it drives me crazy - all my presses are wrong, and some dont work at all!!
I have figured a "way" to make it normal for a while, i just press the end key to close the screen and then turn it on again and it kinda, kinda, works again.
anybody there knows whats is the fault? if its software or hardware?, anyway i sent mine for repair and still waiting.
It's a hardware issue, no doubt. I have experienced all the issues described in the last 3-4 posts. Will have to send it in for repair after christmas - but I'll probably have to get back to the original firmware first.

well i took off the screen protector, and still pretty the same issue. anyway but now atleast it's under repair. so waiting for the phone i hope to get it before xmas.
I have a dead spot around the O and L key when typing messages in the landscape position.
Should I back-up my phone and remove all private data when getting it repaired?
had a sticker - same thing
i removed mine as well - and same thing.
talked to HTC - but they dont have a repair place in Israel - so i will have to send it abroad to the UK maybe for repair.
I still dont understand - if this is a hardware issue - how does it fix it for a short while when i press the "end" key, and re-open the phone.
if the hardware was defective it should always happen and wont be "fixed" for a short while.
Same problem, dont believe it is hardware
Got the same problem when i update to another rom LOX or Hikari.
Wiping and going back to Modaco 3.0 and everything is perfect again. Have the feeling that it has also something to do with the radio images
Maybe also something to do in which order the roms and radio's are updated. Still testing but got the same problem. Reverting back to my modaco 3.0 nandroid and everything works again.
For me this is the stable version where the bottom line works:
Firmware: 1.5
Radio: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernel:2.6.27-mck-teknologist-1.9

I have a similiar problem on my Hero. Did you find a solution to it?
What's weird is that it isn't constant. It comes and goes.
But when flashing the cya mod with 2.1 my phone was stuck on the enter sim card code screen.. Could not press OK to continue.
Hi first of all sorry about my English.
Ok my phone has an at&t froyo i just install superuser, slide loading, the weptop hack and the sim unlocked.
I'm using spb 3d launcher and every time i do a restart it seems that the spb it's working on his on, if a let it awake charging some times it's go to some shortcut like if i press it but i didn't (that didn't bother me too much ).
but two days ago one part of the top of the touch screen stop working i can't select the shortcuts on the top of the screen. and yersterday the phone got possessed and start opening thinks randomly. i just uninstall spb and it seems to stop with the gibberish. but today it's the same i can't use phone because i just simple touch the screen and it start again with the gibberish movements.
i'm going to do a restore and i if that fix the gibberish but the part of the screen that doesn't respond is what i worry the most. I'm from Tijuana, Mexico i buy the atrix on craiglist from some guy in san diego, ca. he said that the phone was warranty until feb 2012.
Please help any one
I reset my phone and still the same parts of the screen does not respond and the screen start shaking and doing thing uncontrol.
Please could be sw or is the hardware and i need to change the phone.
Sounds like a hardware problem.
Not sure what the problem could be.....there's a girl I know who's had similar problems, I'll ask her or put you in touch with her. Sounds like yer digitizer?

I am having the same issue, this was on CM7 only flashed yesterday and then I tried to restore my backup rom and this has the same issue??
Hope someone can sort out the problem.
It sounds like a hardware problem in which you should;
A) buy a whole new screen and install it (they will give you the tools to take it apart)
B) Send it back to Motorola if you haven't voided your warranty by unlocking the phone
or
C) this is a long shot as I do think it is hardware related, you should try this fix just to be sure that it is a hardware problem. Mind you this will do nothing more than refresh the .pds file that affects the touchscreen. Touchscreen fix!
definetly sounds like a broken digitizer to me
I have taken my phone in for repair(Not a official MOTO repairer) and I just got a phone call, he believes it is a software issue? I am not convinced, because I have tried 4 different roms? He said he is going to format/wipe phone. I told him I have installed roms to replace software and I thought that this would wipe/replace software problem?
Anyway I guess, I will found out if it sorts out the random screen movement and widget press?

I got the phone back yesterday, all working ok.
I quickly broke it again by trying to install a stock rom and then root it, but it introduced the same random screen/widget issues(I tried wipe/format, but no good?). I then install 2 custom rom, CM7 and Aura and I still had problems, then I install HomeBase and problem has been sorted. Have no idea why it fixed the issue just happy it is fixed. Just to have refrain from installing other roms......for now anyway

I spoke to soon, last night it started the random screen judder and random widget pressing.....
I am not sure what is going on....I've had the phone for about 12 days now(second hand from eBay) and for the first 4-5 days the phone was fine. I then installed CM7 and for about 12-24 hours the phone was ok. Then the random screen/widget issues happened. Did many, many wipe's/formats of various roms and all these issue occurred more or less straight away.
Then I installed HomeBase and for about 6-8 hours, all was ok until lastnight. I guess it is either new motherboard time or new phone time....

Hi
What do you want to do?
If your screen is broken, you could "do" something via ADB, but not so much.
PERHAPS you could delete your lockscreen (you can do, search), make the device boot wisthout sim cadr (=no pin), install (adb install) something like airdroid or similar (i do not know such apps), launch it (inside ADB with "am" + something) and hope you can "use" your phone via PC.
Ok looks more like SCI-FI!

try flashing custom kernel and a new ROM , If that doesnt help.... u have to go to customer care..
Re:all
thanks all, but i'm sure that lcd is fine (maybe), because, before that (suddenly restart) my phone is allready fine with all function normally (although my lcd is broken but touch function is normal). until restart happen, my phone was not start up again. in lcd i see blank, no logo and anything. just vibrate 2 times. in that condition i think, i can make a call for test but the warning from sim operator said that my phone was turn off.

maybe use the usb cable to know that my phone (until flashing rom or kernel) was working or not, and if i can getting that, means, my phone trouble in lcd.
i will keep out for cust care if i can solving my trouble by self, because maybe if i have to go cust care they will charge me cost not much different with new buying this phone.

Well Man i say is not software problem. If you flash stock firms, custom roms and kernels you manipulate all the system if the phone dont turn on is a ardware problem. Search a tuto how to open you phone and see if dont have nothing wrong. The conection screen "flex".you see all ok buy a new screen on eBay. Try. After all that phone is very important for you.
Press thnks if I helped to your mind.
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
actually i had the exact same (or similar) problem after 6 months of ownership.
1) broken screen, dropped phone several times, everything still works no trouble
2) random restarts
3) boot problems, restarts got more frequent
4) can no longer boot, only a lit black screen, no SE logo
Does that sound familiar?
I understand it could be a HW problem but the only thing I can think of is the digitaliser/screen. Try to replace that and see far you get, you can find a replacement cheap from ebay (they come free with tools) and also disassembly guides are on ifixit
please post your results!!
Mini Pro screen is really vulnerable, so even a little defect can cause further issues.
I had a Mini Pro which its screen cracked when I dropped it, it was fully functionable for weeks then one Friday touchscreen didn't response anymore.
I visited a technician and paid about 4,000 Philippine pesos to get it fixed.
Second defect happened after I came back to Korea, when I dropped it toward the wooden frame of my bed.
At first the screen had several purple horizontal lines, then soon it completely blacked out.
It still exists inside my drawer, and since I loved its keypad, I recently ordered $20 screen set in Aliexpress.
I have a question: Did you fix your device after writing this thread? Was the problem related only with the screen?
Hi,
I have a lot of trouble with my wife's Galaxy Alpha phone.
Sometimes, it switch off alone.
Last time it was when charging, it starts to charge for 5 min, then switch off showing the logo during switch off, as if it was requested by software (not a battery problem).
Sometimes it restarts normaly as soon as I press the power button (boot normaly), but sometimes, it bootloops.
I found a workaround for it, having to press the power button until complete boot (asking pincode), then releasing the power button and entering the pincode, and it works normaly, for some days.
Seems pehaps an hardware issue ?
This starts a month ago, without any related causes.

The shutdown seems to be related to Google Play. The phone shutdown when updating some applications through Google Play !
Is there a revert to stock google play application and force it to never update again ?
Seems that the latest version of google play have some troubles.

I didn't encountered this issue on my alpha, try a factory reset.
Battery issue, maybe....?
I have an old battery and the symptoms are similar. The efficiency is no longer the same and sometimes it turns itself off suddenly.
My other battery is newer and it doesn't happens.
These batteries are fragile and lose reliability quickly (most noticeable after a year, depending on usage).
Seems that I have fixed the problem. A hardware one.
After opening the phone... completely so that able to manipulate the motherboard I found that the small connector to the power button was not correctly fixed.
After a deep cleaning of all the contacts on the motherboard and fixing the connector I reassembled everything.
It is now working well for more than 3 days without any issues.

Changed the motherboard with a new one bought on AliExpress. Everything fine now.

Any way, it all ended well and now I got another mobo incase this one breaks ^^

Greetings. My Samsung Galaxy Alpha is dead since 2016. Not charging, not turning on. If possible send me the exact AliExpress seller link. One more thing, is it possible to find the front facing camera of this device? When i give my device to a technician he lost the camera. The camera was 2.1 megapixel.

I got a new Elephone S8 about a week ago, and it's having a glitch that's happened 3 different times. The touch screen becomes unresponsive for around 20 minutes, and after restarting it will work again but it always says the battery is at 1% when it had a full charge before the issue happened. Has anybody else encountered this? I'm terrified that one time the touch screen won't come back. It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, but some type of glitch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Elephone S8 touch screen stop working
I have the same problem, I even managed to put ERAGON ROM and again the same thing, the screen just stops working, I even think it has no rules when it will work, and when it does not.
Not here. It seems to me that some folks got units with flaky digitisers. If it were just firmware, I suspect everyone would have the issue.
To share experience with the problem, touch screen stops working!
I returned via Flash Tool to 01701018 release official and then> flash root> flash twrp. Then I installed "magisk manager 16" and for now the cellular phone works for 2 days, since it will not have a SIM card while testing the touch screen lock. I will let you know guys... :angel:
That's what I'm planning on doing today: returning my phone to original rom. Has it happened anymore since you downgraded?

If that's the case, I would need to replace the entire screen, correct? A new one is $50, and I only paid $175 for the new phone! I just don't know if that's worth it

In my case, even the SIM card has no connection to the effect of locking the touch screen of a cell phone, it is always the same problem. The screen simply does not work when it does not work. "It seems to me that some people get units with dirty digitizers?" I have no idea...
Hardware defects should be covered under the phone's warranty... And if it's soon enough after purchase, by the shop where you bought the phone.
Best of luck to you!
