Sorry fat finger post to soon..
Ok purchased digitized and replaced it. Looked good everything went fine. Till I tried to make a call the screen just goes black and unresponsive. Have to remove battery to fix it. My brother called and it rang but when I answered it went black and I couldn't hear him but he said he heard me. Please help me with this issue.

Ok. Update it works if you use a wired headset. Maybe the speaker is not installed correctly. It was attached to the digitizer when I removed it so maybe it is installed wrong.

It is the speaker and the proximity sensor. There is a tiny rubber cover with a hole in it, which goes over the sensor next to the speaker. It needs this to function properly, otherwise the screen will go off on calls and not come back on.

Is it u shaped. Kinda goes around three sides of the speaker.

Is there a way I can make it work or buy that piece.

Ok new update if you push down on the digitizer in the top right corner it will work so it is the proximity sensor. On another note my digitizer is not flush with the case. This is prob due to the metal shield that I had to pry up to attach the digitizer. I will try and find some good two sided tape to pull the digitizer and lcd back down.

Hi tbone22, same problem as you, I have removed digitizer for 3 times, and finally, speaker works fine, but the screen goes blank on calls, and I must to press screen to came again.
If you have found a solution for this, pls explain it ( double sided tape, or something similar.
Regards.

Oh such fun. Been through this myself.
Here's my curiosity... Are we installing the new digitizers wrong, or is the replacement part different in such a way that it prevents the sensor from properly working?
Also, The sensor is quitesensitive, if you remove the digi and get the sensor in a position where it's unblocked, and load up Z-devicetest which will show you the sensor's state in real time, you'll see a finger within 1-2"of the sensor triggers it, even if it doesn't really block much light.
Seems like a relative measurement, which makes me wonder if some calibration needs to be done after replacing a digi to get the software to understand what the sensor is telling it.
Then there's also the curiosity of the sensor's durability -- is it a hit sufficient to take out the digi also likely to damage the sensor? I considered replacing the sensor itself, as it's a simple SMT component on it's own small little board (read: relatively easy to rework) but couldn't find a domestic source of the part (Capella CM3602)

There is a tiny rubber cover for the sensor with a hole in it. If it is missing the sensor doesn't work properly. I had this problem when I replaced the digitizer and realized I had not mounted the cover correctly. Now the sensor works flawlessly.

There is a way to disable the sensor it is in a thread titled proximity sensor something. As far as rubber boot I wish you could buy it I guess mine was thrown out with the old digitizer. If you use the disable function you will need a app like screen suite to lock your keys when you make a call.

Where did you purchase the digitizer? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but when you search for htc aria digitizer on bay they are charging $400-500. Also, what's the easiest way to replace the digitizer? Anyone have a link to a YouTube video? Can you just pull up the screen or do you have to take the whole thing apart? I saw one vid where the guy pulled the whole thing apart to change the LCD, but what about just the digitizer?
You could probably hack some sort of DIY replacement for the rubber boot. I believe all it does is block the sensor's peripheral vision, limiting its vision to straight through the circular windows on the glass.

Oh drat. Guess I lost that little piece. Maybe someday (like next time i smash the phone lol) I'll rig something up 
TY for info!
