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

[pedrohp]

my mate bought it for me from Ebay so I don't actually have a link to share.

Needless to say it only cost me about £25 and it's a genuine HTC part...

Can you please post the digitizer version as shown in the OP?

 

[taffypride]

I would that means cracking the phone back open and I'm slightly reluctant because I nearly broke the cables trying to put them all back in...soz...

should've made a note before I actually put it together

I too bought a digitizer without paying attention to which one i needed. it seemed like there was only one version.

I am running the latest ics firmware with the latest insertcoin rom.

any ideas how to get rid of the screen problems?

my problems are: not registering all the touches, long press almost never works, lag etc.

do i need to reflash the firmware/rom to force an update? are there specific firmwares that support other screen types?

Just bought a digitizer from amazon Here from ailsa87. I figured I was never going to be able to disassemble my sensation so I ordered a digitizer and hoped I get lucky. Will report back when it arrives in May.

Wish me luck guys!

Also: will manufactering dates or different countries effect the model of digitizer?
I have a sensation made in China and on December 17, 2011.

Busted my screen... Anyone find a seller for

PYD V1.0
E219454<>1
ruICACichia
94V-0 1120

According to all searches I have the EVO 3D screen on my phone... This is frustrating and I sure don't want to pay a repair shop $100+ to put a faulty screen on my phone and have to wait for multiple replacements to get the proper screen...

Anyone been able to find this model?
It's the HTC T-Mobile version (not that it matters)

hey guys, my buddy busted his digitizer as well i told him about the versions and sellers also wouldnt give him an answer so he went ahead and bought the digitizer and the screen all in one combo, i helped him with the dis assembly and all (its a little bit harder) but its worth the trouble his screen is responding well and not a single dot of dust between screen and digitizer

he says he bought the combo on ebay for $75, id say its worth all the trouble spending an extra $30 but making sure itll work correctly

Does anyone have the numbers off a stock digitizer from a tmobile sensation from the united states? I too am having the lag after replacing my digitizer and do not have the old one anymore. I'm running insert coin ICS 4.0.3 from april 5th with no change from the stock rom.

I was considering that...
can you get us a link? how did you remove the lcd?

 

[nonione]

heres the vid we used for reference:

removing the LCD was a pain but putting all back together again was way easier

and for the LCD digitizer combo heres an ebay search:

2 fingers instead of one

Hi everyone,

I searched in the whole thread but I haven't found anyone that seemed to have the same issue that I am currently having.

Here's the story. Broke my digitizer (you dont say!), wanted to DIY repair it. Bought a digitizer without really looking for the version, and threw my old one in the garbage. I was having the unfortunately famous "lockscreen issue", which is that my digitizer was acting weird when waking phone.

I did what is said in the first post. Install the RUU 1.50.401.1. Actually the "lockscreen issue" dissapeared, but another one appeared, and it's kind of strange:

When I pull the notification menu down, it's acting kind of "steppy", I mean it goes down following my finger but... stalls at about every half of an inch. Also I tried *#*#DIAG#*#* to test the touchscreen, and when I put my finger on the right side of the screen, at about 1 third of the screen (from the top), it detects 2 touch inputs, each ones on each side of my actual finger position.

Another interesting thing, when my I asked my little sister, who has significantly smaller fingers than I do, to run the test instead of me, everything seemed to work fine!

So my question is, is my problem hardware (digitizer) related or software related? Or even... are my fingers too big? Should I put them in a pencil sharpener? Ahaha, I'm tired...

Sorry for the long text, and thanks ALOT to those who will be kind enough to help me

Thankfully,

What about the quality of the LCD?

I was thinking: Since the problem with these faulty digitizers is the comm between the didigitzer circuits and the mainboard, buying the digitizer and the LCD together won't help anything.

Does that make any sense?

sounds very strange but i think ive read about the same issue somewhere around the forum, wouldnt know if its a hardware or software issue cause maybeprobable that your digitizer didnt have the same s/n cause you had the lockscreen problem, but since it was fixed changing software lol

looked pretty much the same to me, couldnt compare since we didnt have any other sensation around since i sold mine for a galaxy nexus

I haver similar problems. the lockscreen works fine, but the screen seems to have deadspots, and is not as responsive as it used to be. a longpress is hard to do for example. which makes rearranging your homepage very difficult. Also my q on the qwerty popup keyboard can not be used. i have to turn it to landscape.

I do not know what causes it. possible options i have found sofar are:
wrong distance between screen and digitizer, firmware problem, not correctly grounded, wrong type of digitizer.

I am having issues exactly like this and have tried every possible method and every possible fix with no luck.

I have even resorted to taking the screen out and resit the cable and short of buying another digitizer to try, I don't know what else to try...

And the keyboard issue doesn't just affect the Q....it affects all the 50mm of the left hand side of the screen.

Have you successfully fixed the problem?

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....

 

[ideaLduK]

I am thinking about buying an SXE digitizer instead, to transform my S4G into a sexy SXE.

Anyone ever tryed this?
