These news are disturbing. Not much point in checking grounding issues. We need a proper digitizer then.
Anyone replace a digitizer on a sensation yet?
- Thread starter poopymt3g
- Start date
I had a perfectly working sensation with the original digitizer, even with it in pieces. Upon replacing it, I had the issues everyone states here. I tried fixing grounding issues, but that's not the problem. If it were, my attempts would have worked. More importantly, if it were grounding issues, the digitizer I had threw in the trash minutes earlier would not have worked perfectly in the phone.
The digitizers that say HTC without t-mobile on them are useless trash to us.

I replaced an HTC-branded international version smashed working digitzer with an HTC-branded one and had the same issues. I don't think it has anything to do with the T-Mobile versions.
Waiting with bated breath here on the results of different digitizers.... Please report back on one that seems to work. So far its not looking promising!... :-(

Unless your local is associated with HTC (i.e. authorised repair) you can assume the same thing will happen. Unfortunately.
SOLUTION 
i had a broken htc sensation 4g t-mobile broken digi, and as you might assume, i did cut my finger on it before deciding i wanted it fixed.
well, 3 digitizers later (that i changed myself) that i bought in several places online, none worked. ALL of them had the same issue as described. NO response!
it felt very much as if the electromagnetic field created by the net of invisible wires inside the digitizers was broken. i could not get it to unlock.
i thought i broke the phone, since i did not have the original digi in one piece to try it out.
Then i found this thread. i got sad from all the grim news.
then the good news.
there is a company that has the original second edition digitizers available, but they do not sell them, since there is 3 model numbers that are not interchangeable.
go to www.rossmanngroup.com, call the number, as for the sensation repair service.
i am located in new york city, so i walked there, but they are mail in service based.
well, now i have a brand new looking phone and works like new too.
if any of you try this route, please post your results. i am happy, and i can post pictures if i knew how.
if you live in new york city, or close, just call and go to 30th st and 8th ave. they are nice down there (its a bassement location)
well, they claim they have all the versions available, so try them out. their ratings are good, and i cant complain either. they saved me from buying another 500$ phone.
ps: if you DO walk down there, its a very very shady looking place, but they have a proper setup and all that. even a clean room. but the walk down to the place is very very shady.
also, one of the guys would not stop talking, but nothing bad, just small talk.
anyway, i am happy my phone is working like new finally.
here is the deal, i had the same problem.

How much did it cost you because the pricing is not on their website for sensation.

Very interesting. Do you have any information about how to identify the three different digitzer versions?
Maybe you can find out who supplies their digitizers...
Can you also please post the version of the working digitizer?
I wish i knew
well, i dont know anything about the versions of the 3 digitizers. thats what i was told. i never got to look at the versions.
but i do know, that their digitizers, at least the one that put in my phone, actually sais "HTC T-Mobile" on the top. my original one did not say that, my original only had HTC in the middle.
i had a friend of mine go there, today, he had a decent experience too.
his phone works fine now, im in the proccess of rooting it now. response is perfect.
i wish i could get those model numbers, would save all of us future problems. but so far, they are the only place that do this right with the right part, AND THEY DO NOT EVEN ADVERTIZE IT!!! i find this odd by the way.
i paid 130+tax since i paid by card, otherwise it was going to be 130. my friend got a 10$ discount since he was refered.
im happy with what they did, and 2 days into it and it works perfect.
thats all i know at this time, and before you ask, NO i will not take apart my phone now that it works im too scared to mess it up. after a few days maybe i get over it and open it.
ps: i am running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 right now, just flashed it 2 hours ago. it works perfect! i have not tested the gps yet, but everything else seems perfect. and very stable so far and i have done a ton of stuff in it so far.
i cant testify to battery life, but seems ok.
its very responsive and smooth with this room, but i had to update the radio to the recomended version before i got full bars.

well, all i saw that was visible while they were installing it infront of me was the chip on the flex. it is 4 times as big as all the ones i bought online. the chip had more conections to the flex and it was almost 1mm by 1mm, unlike the ones i received before which were .5mm by .5mm.
that and the fact that this one said tmobile on the right top corner were the only differences i saw.

Arg I just cracked my screen as well.
Anyway, I was looking on ebay for a replacement digitizer and I found one from a seller in HK, user name kr-net. (I'd post a link but I'm still new )
The seller says that these digitizers are OEM and removed from the original phones. Looks promising but what do you guys think?
Those of you that have taken your phones apart, does your original digitizer look like the one in the listing?

Ok surely we can get to the bottom of this.
Let's look at the part numbers.
what9000 reported that he originally had a digitzer with this part number:
PYD V1.0
SW-10 94V-0
E308252.1117
He replaced it with this:
PYD V1.0
E219454<>1
ruICACichia
94V-0 1112
And experienced the unresponsive issue.
Myself on the otherhand with my Australian delivered Sensation replaced my original digitiser which was:
PYD V1.0
E219454<>1
ruICACichia
94V-0 1112
With:
PYD V1.0
SW-10 94V-0
E308252.1117
And experienced the same issue. Note that my replacement appears to be what what900 had stock and his replacement appears to do be what I had stock.
Does that imply that if we were to swap our replacement digitzers it would work? Has any one of who who has tried to swap yours and failed had the same part number on both the original and the replacement?

Cracked my screen on solid concrete via a 3 feet fall on my way back from the gym.
Before I splurge on some unknown eBay dude's goods, I'd love to get to the bottom of this issue so just keepin' the thread alive!
