[WORKING] Broken htc Sensation Digitizer? READ HERE FIRST!!

sandervanzijl · Apr 12, 2012

The only thing i want to try is flashing a stockrom on my sensation and trying out if that improves anything.

i do not have the original screen anymore so it is hard to find the correct version. with soma patience it is workable, and in august i can get a new contract with a new phone.

I haven't as yet bought another digitizer. Doubt very much it will fix the issue, however I may have no other choice but to try...it's only gonna be another £25 down the drain if it doesn't work....

Got my mate to order a new digitizer and tried that....still having no response from the first 50mm of the screen on the left hand side.....

Another £25 down the drain

Edit:

anyone know if something like this will work? It is the only other option I can think of right now...... http://bit.ly/HR7dGt

Edit 2: Just rang around some phone repair shops and they say the XE digitizer will NOT work as it has a different connector despite the phones being identical. Can anyone else confirm this before forking out money for a XE Digitizer?

I giving up on this. I'm gonna buy a Galaxy Nexus as soon as possible and send my sensation to HTC repair. Gonna sell it after that.

I've gone the other way and bought a 2nd hand iPhone 3GS...but only because I am tied into a contract until June 2013 and when I do finally upgrade then I will end up with an iPod with Camera and Phone capabilities

Will user of custom ROMs and kernels still have this problem?

My digitiser is deeply scratched, but hasn't yet cracked.

Joshhayes801 · Apr 22, 2012

So

I can confirm that the digitizer found here http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-T-Mobil...951?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f152c52bf will work on the t-mobile usa Sensation 4G. The part numbers did not much but the digitizer works 100% no problem.

ursubpar · Apr 24, 2012

Alright everyone,

I need everyone to post their screen model, manufacturing date, and place of origin. I think I might be on to something.

Mine is:

PYD 1.1
E219454
ruICACichia

December 2011

Made in china.

fish_pg · Apr 27, 2012

bought a full LCD with digitizer (http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-HTC-SEN...268?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a1437040c) and replaced it. Surprisingly it works like a charm even though the digitizer from ebay has different code with my stock. Stock code:

PYD v1.0 E219454 <> 1 ICAC kchia 94v-0118. I found that the time I installed the new digitizer, stock ICS ROM will refresh so my advise is those who want to install digitizer from ebay or else where please fresh stock ROM and update to ICS.

I replaced my digitizer and it works fine but now I'm getting the No Sim Card error

Hi @ all,

I got a Z710E Sensation (Location EU/Germany).

The screen was replaced by the previous owner, so I don't know the version of the original digitizer.

The version fo the replacement digitizer he built in is: PYD_6042A_FPC REV:A
He bought it at an austrian shop.

The whole screen is very laggy, the left side of the screen (~5mm) does not respond at all.

I tried updating to the latest Stock rom, AOKP Rom and the "Overclocked Kernel" which is said to fix touchscreen problems. None of this software solutions worked.

I just ordered a new replacement digitizer at ebay from the chinese seller "cui1873". The item number is 320900615436.

I will write again when the new digitizer has arrived.

Please let as know if it was successful.
I have the same issue, after the replacement the bottom part of screen is too laggy and not responsive.

Before investing in new digitizer + LCD, I'd like to get some more feedback from the guys who tried it.
Thanks a lot for your responses.

No problem!

I wrote to ebay seller no.1-tech and asked him if item 170823156651 is an OEM touchscreen. This is his response:

Dear friend,this item not the original touch screen,just the high copy,but
we have a mother board can test it before we ship it and it can use for the
EU version,please be assure.And this item is no different as that
item,please be assure.Hope this can help you.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

I guess the touchscreen I bought (320900615436) isn't an original one neither, I hope it will still work fine...

comensart · May 11, 2012

I'VE noticed that some digitizers on eBay labeled as Original, and the price is about $10 higher OEM once. The sellers also from China though.
If someone could confirm that originals work's fine.

Btw, my OEM digitizer lags are, unresponsive Bottom 6mm, too sensitive screen in some areas, that's why so difficult to achieve long press.

ursubpar · May 11, 2012

I think I might have found a fix.

Even if your on Mike's ICS firmware, It will not fix your digitizer sensitivity.

Flash a 1.50.XXX.XX RUU To fix the screen. It worked for me but now I'm having other digitizer problems.

I ripped my ribbon cable after trying to clean out dust from under the screen.

Need to save up some money to get myself a new one now.

Well it's interesting and an original fix.
I wish I could try it asap.
Would you please suggest any particular 1.50.XXX.XX RUU ... or maybe you can provide a link on to RUU/ROM which had worked for you.

Thanks

If you are SuperCID you should be able to flash any RUU found here: http://www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/

I flashed the 1.50.531.1 because I already had this to return my phone to stock once.

You can try whichever RUU that would work with your CID if you're not.

Would anyone here like to sell me an extra digitizer laying around?

The max I can offer is $10.49 USD.

(People that bought a wrong model digitizer have a chance to make some of their money back here)

Dear all,
Unfortuantelly i am also struggling with the digitizer.
My spare has the same serial numbers as the defect one. (last line ends with 1112)
But i have the same trouble as described.
After waking up the device it is soo laggy for 30 seconds.
I tried different ICS images (RUU and a lot of other ones.)
also some Kernels without any success.

Is there an ICS image which solves the digitizer problems.
A downgrade (is it simply possible?) should be the last opportunity

Thanks in advance
TheFox
