Atrix 4G Digitizer Issues

[vicfuze]

Its the top connector of the digitizer screen which can tear off very easily during install!

The easiest way to install the digitizer is to tear down the phone completly .. once the LCD is out of the way you no longer have to fish the connector through the tiny hole... That is how they tear that ribbon easy. I've now pulled this screen 4 times between this phone and another atrix I picked up...sadly I'm done buying screens for this phone (wife cut me) as I don't have att and just got this phone to test this kernel and ROM for my feather in law. Have to see a bad investment and cut your losses. On a side not... Guys buy the digitizer from Amazon because it shows the chip so if you receive one different like mine you can return it. I'm not sure what I'll do with these two phones now.. I figure I'll wait for a bit and see if an older touch driver gets ported but if not I'll probably Polish them up and sell to recoup losses.

Do as he says, I try to do fishing the connector through the hole and broke the digitizer flex again. I had to buy another and there if disarmament ALL the phone.

PS: This is no place to discuss this

Thank you and I know that.. But this issue is directly related to the 3.1.1 kernel. That's why I posted it there.

I am facing a very weird issue digitizer is working fine except for some area of keys for "Y,H,B" bottom screen... any solution ....I tried using pds fix but not successful? but after putting some pressure on fingerprint scanner its start responding.....what is the solution?

 

[kicker22004]

From what I have read. That could be a bad digitizer.. But I'm new to this phone and have seen temp fixes for that issue in the threads.

And may i guess that the dead zone is a line from the bottom to top ?
I had tha same , what i did was to "re-lock" bootloader and send it to service. (in stock condition)
But first i did a research for the problem and found that if you want to fix it on your own you have to replace the digitizer as well as the lex cable (sometimes digitizer only isnt enough)
PS: for the last one maybe i am wrong

I also got a broken digitizer (a vertical line not responding to finger anymore)
I bought this part from amazon :http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053EYGEO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (from "BestSelling2013" )
It comes with the frame so I also removed the LCD to change de part, not easy to remove all that parts but no specific hard move
Anyway, as many people here, I do recommend to remove the lcd so that you don't need to heat up anything and you don't risk to brake the connector

Since the part is not expensive, I think it's worth a try!

Atrix 4G Digitizer Help

I just recently bought an Atrix 4G off a friend for 50 bucks so I'm not complaining at all.
This phone went through hell, I couldn't stand looking at the back cover it was so abused, I ended up buying a new one along with a battery. Now my only problem; the digitizer has an area of the screen, goes from the home key all the way up the screen, that isn't responsive and sometimes causes the screen to tweak out and select random things and sometimes goes completely unresponsive until i lock/unlock the phone again. Also the back and home keys are really hit or miss when they work. I just ordered a new digitizer and it should be here this week, I'm curious if this will fix it. Also I plan on replacing or removing the screen anyways since the ffc somehow has dust on the inside of the lens Anyway to prevent this in the future with this phone?

Of every non responsive touch screen I have repaired it has been either mother board connection to the digitizer connector or the digitizer connection on the digitizer. It will take a steady hand and very small tip isolated tip soldering iron to resolder the connections. The physical stress of turning it on and off reeks havoc with this connection. You can fix it temporary by just pressing on the switch/finger scanner sideways SOMETIMES. Good luck and this is the fix used at the repair depo.
