When I tap the bottom portion of my screen using stylus the screen turns to different colors.(Also happens when pressing HOME and LEFT buttons sometimes).
So my question is do I need LCD or just digitizer replaced? I did notice the Digitizer is a little raised.
Replacing it is not a option
I don't know if this helps, but I had the exact same problem for about a week, then it seemed to work ok except on pressure at the bottom of the screen, the entire display would go off color.
I took it into the sprint store and they replaced the entire top sliding portion of the phone. I was hoping to get a replacement TP2 but at least its fixed.... Now maybe the new NFSFAN rom will keep me happy for a while..

Good Day folks, here is the long and short of it.
Galaxy s 2 fell and the screen broke
I bought a new screen
Replaced the screen BUT two big problems occured.
1. The screen appears to have less colours than my original screen
2. NONE OF THE SOFT KEYS WORK, HOME, MENU AND BACK DO NOT WORK.
Number 2. is the big problem. Does anyone have any idea how these buttons work?
Even when I press the buttons directly with my fingers with the buttons off they still do not work.
Im baffled. Please help.
I also have attached pictures of the button area
It happened to me, I removed the screen, I replaced from beginning and it worked...
Hi Collado, do the white things behind the buttons have any electronic functionality or are those just things to make it stick?
To all future readers. I found out what the problem was. Basically,
The home, back and menu keys are all connected to a single ribbon. It appears there is a tiny piece, connected via the back key. That was torn while i was ripping off the the screen and digitizer.
See the picture attached
How much did you pay for your replacement screen and where did you get it. My digitizer is broken due to a drop. My front glass is perfect but the digitizer is completey shot. How difficult was this project?
Hi Johnboy
I cant remember the price of the digitizer offhand but make a check on ebay.. that is where i got it.
Difficulty is high as you need the minature tool set to do this effectively and a gentle touch.
However, it still appears as though the screen I bought has less colours.
Sorry to jump in and unintended hijack
I also dropped my S2 and cracked the screen, and after checking around dropped it in to the Geek Squad at CPW. Who duly replaced the screen and digitizer for £80. Only problem is the screen seems less bright and if moved off the central viewing angle the screen dims, as if it wasa standard lcd and not the orginal AMOLED screen. Does anyone know if they make lesser screens or was it fitted badly.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

I would go back with it and complain.If you dont get satisfaction then do an impression of the guy that goes into the pizza shop in "rise of the foot-soldier" film.

The bottom-most right-most corner of my display (in portrait) is not responsive to touches and is kind of annoying when typing. I have to usually try several times to get the response.
Stock ROM, only rooted. I just reset it again. I changed the lcd density back to 320 to see if that was an issue, formally at 240.
I used the S-Pen to do these drawing to demonstrate the problem area. The results are strange. In portrait the problem exists but when in landscape it doesn't appear to be a problem. Is this a hardware or software issue or anyone else experience this?
The local AT&T shop says it’s definitely not normal and I can go to their local warranty shop but I don’t necessarily want to get a refurbished replacement if the ICS release might fix it.
I dont have a note yet, but personally myself, I would unroot and take it back asap. Hopefully someone on here will be able to offer a better solution soon, but if not, then I would return it. Hope you get it sorted out.
Pretty sure it's the built-in offset. Go to phone settings -> pen options and change the dominant hand to left. I think you'll find that it is now the bottom left corner that won't respond. Also test with the phone upside down, and it should still be one of the bottom corners (but the other side, since you've turned the phone upside down).

Changing the dominance does swap the S-Pen's ability to recognize that corner and changes it to the other corner.
However, it's stll not recognizing my finger touches.
So to confirm, using my finger with the dominance swapped yields the same results as the images posted with the S-Pen.
When rotated to landscape and using my finger, I cannot reach that corner like I can with the S-Pen when rotated to landscape.
I would believe this is a finger touch issue and not to much S-Pen
Actually. I have a slightly bigger problem. Sometimes hovering my spen above the right bottom corner will trigger a touch. Mainly the space. Enter. Backspace. And m keys. I think I'm going to get it swapped out

that's actually been covered, there's a post here about putting aluminum foil tape on your stylus to correct the issue.
AT&T is sending me another one... we'll see what that one does and hope that it's just not my personal perception.
Replacement arrived and does not share the issue
The touchscreen on my Verizon G3 started acting up recently. In the lower portion of the screen there's a space where it doesn't register my touches well (take a look at pics the space in between the lines don't really 'register' my touches. You can see in the second pic I'm currently touching the part where its not really working and it looks like I'm touching the screen with two fingers even though I'm only using one). When I type sometimes two letters are pressed at the same time or its like I didn't touch the screen at all which makes typing difficult and takes a lot of time. The whole screen sometimes doesn't hold a touch, like I tap and hold but it only 'holds' like I only tapped the screen. Other times when I'm sliding my finger across the screen, it starts jumping around. Now the top row of the keyboard/screen doesn't even register touches anymore so can't really do much now. I've reset the phone and didn't fix anything. Is this something LG would fix if I sent the phone in? If so how long is turnaround and will I have to reset it back to stock/unroot it?
if you have any type of glass screen protector on, take it off and verify the issue.
some tg screen protectors are junk, and have caused issues like this.

I had a $5 glass screen protector on it from ebay and thought that was the problem but when I took it off the problems ensued
Some g3s do have or develop touchscreen issues. Check under the back cover that there is nothing putting pressure on the display from behind, like a swelling battery.
It is probably a warranty issue, though.

So, I have the HTC Desire 610 and i have had it for around 5 months now. I use a body glove case that sometimes comes off in my pocket. However, on the actual phone there is a "dead spot" which is a vertical line about a finger width in width going down the right side of my screen. it does not respond to touch, but acts like i am pressing both sides simultaneously on either side of the column. Also, the rest of the screen is becoming less responsive, requireing multiple taps to select something. Why? How do i fix this?
This is a common problem a lot of people have and the simply don't know why. Under the screen is something called a digitizer, which maps where you fingers are and sends the data to your phone, telling it what to do when you touch it. If it gets damaged, you get things like unresponsive spots on the screen and sometimes the screen will go crazy, and go all over the place. A new digitizer is needed, although there hard to put in and time consuming, so I recommend getting a new screen entirely.
When my wife first showed it to me it only showed the clock and notification icons in the upper middle of the screen. Pressing the power button only made it brighter or dimmer, but if you held the power button the shutdown menu would come up and you could interact with the menu fine. If you shut it down and restarted it the lock screen would show for a second at which point you could tap and get it to acknowledge a swipe giving you the PIN screen, but you couldn't enter a PIN. After pulling it's SD card and verifying her pictures were on there I factory reset it thinking a software problem, or a run away app eating CPU.
While setting itself up after the reset, around 90% I watched the screen "shrink" to a inch or so square in the upper middle of the screen. What I mean by shrink is, inside the square I could still see a bit of "Android is starting up" and the white background, but outside that was black. That's when I started thinking it thought it was in a case with the cover closed, it doesn't have a screen protector ATM so I cleaned the glass over the proximity sensor, even opened it up and cleaned the inside of the glass for giggles. That didn't help, now when it boots up I get nothing but the backlight of the LCD, I assume because it's waiting for me to finish the setup process, it still will bring up the power off menu and I can shut it down or reboot it fine.
So now I'm trying to figure out, does it have a reed switch somewhere and a magnet in a case cover, or does it use the proximity sensor to see if the cover is closed? If I can figure out how it tells there's a cover over the glass I'll just remove that sensor and be done with it
Thanks,

there's magnet sensor somewhere around front camera

Any guesses on which side of the board? I've run across a couple candidate IC's, looking for my loupe's now to see if I can read anything off them.
