[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamjam11:
The seller on eBay was e_cell. Search for this item to see the digitizer I purchased: 190567591678

It was listed as: 'GENUINE HTC NEXUS ONE G5 TOUCH SCREEN DIGITIZER + TOOLS'

I used a video on YouTube to dismantle the phone and insert the new digitizer.

Search YouTube for 'Google Nexus One Screen Replacement & Take Apart Directions'

Sorry I haven't include direct links but the forum wouldn't let me.

Note: Once I'd taken the phone apart I ran a warm hairdryer over the old digitizer in order to soften the glue that holds it in the frame of the phone. Then I slowly eased the old digitizer out of the frame and inserted the new one. The original adhesive in the frame will hold the new digitizer in place.

Tip: Make sure you remove any dust or finger prints from the new digitizer before reassembling the phone. You'll kick yourself if you forget to do this as they will be visible on the inside of the digitizer and it will drive you mad! I made this mistake and had to take the phone apart again to clean it up. DOH!

:)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzaddict:
I would love to know what sort of problems did the new digitizer fix?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamjam11:
My problem was when I touched one area of the screen another area would respond.

So a screen calibration issue.

It was most noticeable when texting. For example I'd press a key on the top row of keys and a key on the bottom row would respond.

A work around was to press the power button to put the phone into standby and press it again to continue using the phone. Sadly the problem would always come back.

I'd also have problems selecting App icons. I'd press one and another would respond.

I asked both Vodafone and HTC to swap out the screen but all they ever did was flash the rom or say they couldn't find any problem.

The issue I had is well documented on the internet.

So glad I never gave up on this.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonDizzurp:
wait so a new digitizer fixed the issue?

so theres a different version of this digitizer?

or is the model and product number still the same?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzaddict:
sweet! I have the exactly the same issue! so yeah...i'll replace the digitizer. thanks!

Do you have the part number of this new digitizer you replaced? it turn out there are a number of OEM parts with different parts number
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamjam11:
Unfortunately I can't state the part number as I don't have that information.

I simply searched eBay for a digitizer and looked for a good seller who appeared to be trusted and had a good feedback rating.

I'd bought from 'e_cell' before and knew they provided a good service.

All along I knew I was taking a gamble when buying the digitizer but the problem with the phone was so annoying I decided it was my last hope to get the thing working properly.

I've had the phone close to a year and a half, and during that time its spent most of its life either away for repair (Vodafone or HTC) or sitting in its box because I refused to use it. Instead I bought myself a second hand iPhone 3G off eBay to get by. Things were made worse by the fact I am tied into a two year contract with Vodafone.

So trying a new digitizer was my last throw of the dice, so to speak.

And the fact it worked is brilliant. I still feel this phone (Nexus One) is the best phone I've had, and I've had quite a few.

Please remember... if you decide to do what i did then see it as a gamble. There are no guarantees in life.

Oh, and be real careful when taking the phone apart and reassembling. It's not particularly hard but there is always a risk you may damage something. So be warned.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzaddict:
Thank you for the information, so it turn out nexus one have quite a number of unresolved issues. I was wondering why didn't big G did not order product recall for people with faulty digitizer?

I looked around and found that a number of users have having all kind of issues after replacing the digitizer. Geez...what should I do? Perhaps I should take it to a professional phone repair shop?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamjam11:
Well, luckily for me no problems as yet (though never say never!).

The most important thing when taking the phone apart is to take your time, and memorise where everything is located. Be firm but not heavy handed. There are some delicate parts inside the phone so you have to be careful.

Common sense really.

I've had no issues with signal strength. I get HSDPA most of the time, or standard 3G. My data (internet) is working fine and so is GPS.

Inside the phone there are a couple of connectors that control signal so you have to be careful and make sure if they disconnect that you reconnect them again properly.

I build and repair computers and laptops. If you've ever taken a laptop apart that has wireless LAN capability then you'll know there are specific wires which connect the antenna to the motherboard. The same applies in the N1 but on a smaller scale.

Good luck to anyone who tries this!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veehexx:
does anyone from the UK have a source to get a new digitizer from that fixes the heat related issue?

ebay has one for £22.50 (id: 10goodseller2012), and i'm almost ready to click BUY, just want to see if anyone else has more info before i 'blindly' click buy...

edit: i should add, 'e_cell' seller no longer has the N1 digitizers listed...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
No matter what anybody says, replacing the digitizer itself won't fix the issue. It is deeper than that. It is the digitizer mixed with the onboard hardware to interpret the digitizer inputs. Usually it ends up just being heat related. I haven't had the issue with my phone for awhile, but that is because it doesn't get as hot as it used to with older versions of CM, but if I have it in the sun, in my car dock, using GPS, it will freak out all the time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veehexx:
i too was sceptical, and i still am.

however, I've replaced the digitizer and so far it's perfect! i'm not sure it's placebo as i could get it todo it 100% of the time.

prior to ordering the new digitizer, i ran tests to see at what temp ranges the screen would play up - according to the battery temp (Battery Monitor Widget), it will play up over 40c.

what i SUSPECT is the fix, is the digitizer i bought is a newer hardware revision than the one i had. the new digitizer did come with it's own chip on the flexible PCB.

i did mean to write down the new digitizer number and compare from the old one to see if they have revised it - alas, i forgot to get the new number. (old one is 940-473-1r5)

its been installed for almost 2 hours now, and on test for around an hour to build up heat - screen on full, camera on, GPS on (using aLapRecorder HD) and it's perfect. before i could guarantee a problem with screen dimmed, camera on, GPS off, so early impressions are good! :)

I'll give it a proper test tonight on the way home from work - it'll have the windscreen blower aswell..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dionix05:
I had this same issue as well on my korean Nexus One (SLCD). It's really evident when I type a message because when I touch a specific letter, a different one appears on the screen. At first, I thought its just the on-screen keyboard so I change it but it's still the same problem. :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veehexx:
one of the things that the new digitizer fixed for me. seems alot better at accuracy.

also, that sort of behaviour is a classic faulty digitizer.

i am basing this off the last 24hours though - i plan on updating this thread once i get things ironed out a bit (had to factory wipe mine - both rom battery drain issues and also added Dark Tremor-2SD mod).

i still have a noticeable positive improvement with my phone...nothing negative yet!

i propose this claimed 'hardware' issue is infact the digitizer panel itself (i include the digitizer chipset on the flexible PCB in this statement). it'd make sense since the digitizer is turned off (and thus reset) when the phone is locked.

i do classify myself as a techie type guy - hands on with screw drivers, electronics, gadgets and I work in hands-on IT aswell.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dionix05:
Good thing a new digitizer worked for you... :) i'm kinda afraid to really mess with the phone's hardware though.

I guess I just have to live with it by locking the screen to refresh it everytime it happens . :/
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veehexx:
since i like taking things apart, a phone was something i havent done in the past.

it wasnt really difficult, but does require a bit of attention to detail to work out what attaches where and in what order.

also, there were a few parts that had sticky tape over them, and double-sided sticky tape.

i used the http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-One-Teardown/1654/1 guide as a reference, which showed which bits should detach from each other.

still going good though - keyboard accuracy is still noticeably better, and I've not once had to lock the screen to fix the common heat issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimitake:
That's great. Keep us posted. For me, the problem does come up as often but it is a little annoying. And the weather here in san diego is getting a little chilly, which is probably why I'm getting less problem than usual. :-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veehexx:
i think you've hit the nail on the head. this cooler weather in the UK has dropped temps enough to reduce the occurrence. this is the first winter i've had my N1 (only had it for around 7-8 months now), so that would explain the perceived outcome of replacing the digitizer.

I've been agitating (for lack of a better word) my N1 to produce the heat issue - car heater on windscreen, full heat so it warms the phone up.

looks like replacement screen has not fixed/improved it.

shame.

and before others jump in saying 'i told you so' - yes, yes your right :P

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roche173:
So, I got an Atrix a few days ago and decided that it would be a good idea to root it. I ran the GingerBreak.exe file that i found on this site. I followed the instructions to the letter and got a reboot when it was done. It now has an app on there called Superuser, as it is supposed to. To the best of my knowledge the root was sucsessfull, however, I try and install CWM recovery, so that i can install something other than MotoBlur, and when i click the app to install from my sd card it tells me that for my own protection i can only run apps from trusted places. I have seached through as many forums as my eyes can handle and if anyone can tell me how to get this damb thing to work the way i want it to.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swiftks:
Be right with you one sec...

Ok, sorry, first check to see if you have the option to check unknown sources, under the settings -> Application Settings.

Furthermore, I think the best way for you to do it and also get you comfortable with the file structure of your new phone would be to download Root Explorer & SQLite Editor from the market. Yes, I know they cost a few $$ but you will use them both in the future, and they are well worth it.

Once those are installed, use Root Explorer to navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Click on settings.db and it will open with SQLite Editor.

Select "secure"

Change the value of "instal_non_market_apps" from 0 to 1, by holding down on 0 and selecting edit field. Save Changes, and back out to Root Explorer and exit.

Phone may require a re-boot.

You should now be good to go for installing non market .apk files.

Plus, now that you know how to do all that, you can also try this:

After getting CWM installed, I would suggest installing a P-ROM, such as Gingerblur or GladAtrix. These will de-odex your system and get rid of the bloatware:

Also, you may want to attempt to unlock the boot loader (if your on a US AT&T Atrix), that way once true ROMs start coming out, you can flash them too.

Hi can you unroot ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demandarin:
I was like you at first. I rooted a couple days ago but I couldn't download any untrusted sources apps. I was gonna go the sideloading route or use gladenabler or something. But I ran out of time near a pc to load all that stuff. So I was searching root android apps on the market and came across one called Non-Market apps enabler. It costs $1.39 or something. I was skeptical of it but I said since so cheap, let me try it out. I downloaded n installed. The app works flawlessly n like a charm. It brought the option into settings to check off allow untrusted sources download n install. It works. Ever since then, I'm now downloading any n every app I want. From the market or not. This is the fastest way to get the option checkbox untrusted sources into your rooted phone. I thought it was b.s. Bit it really works and I don't have to do all that sideloading or putting glandenabler or all that into my phone. I have the checkbox marked off now n I download what I want. Good luck. N remember, it's called Non-market apps enabler. I'm on froyo 2.2.2 build 4.1.8.3 , rooted using gingerbreak and it worked for me instantly!

If you have had reboots with the camera try turning GeoTagging off in camera settings and reboot.

This may only be a problem with the Shift based ROMs or Sense 2.1 or possibly only MikG's 2.x series.

I don't follow every ROM and other folks might be running into similar issues that MikG 2.x did.

YES, I KNOW SOME FOLKS HAVE NOT HAD an Issue on MikG 2.x.

This thread is to help folks THAT HAVE !!!

It has worked around the problem for a couple folks.

By the way, one of my camera reboots happened hours later while using Google navigation.

Which is what gave me the hint to try shutting off GeoTagging.

Since shutting it off I have used Camera and Navagation for several days with no issue.

Hi, I've been using Gingerreal 5.x with darkcore 2.6 for few weeks. I'm aware that JVH has this middle button bug which you need to press at least twice to get it works.

However since yesterday the middle button doesn't work at all. The funny thing is I can still run the download/recovery mode. But when the phone is on, the middle button is not working, not even in CWM mode. I cannot flash through CWM and root anymore :'(

Has anyone experience the same problem ? is it a software bug or hardware ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
This is a software bug, you can't enter Download Mode without all three buttons, yet you can which means that the button it self works when not controlled by the software that you have installed on your device.

I have never heard about the middle-button bug before, anyway not on stock firmware.

Flash a stock firmware using Odin, then do a wipe data/factory reset and you have a big chance that your device will work as it should again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] saintblu:
I did flash stock ODIN JVP but still did not get my OK button work properly. It's totally unusable, except download/recovery mode.

Now my phone stuck with stock ROM since the recovery mode only support OK button to enter menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Take the battery out and place it back and turn the phone on and let it boot all the way, do a factory reset from Settings>Privacy>Factory data reset

I hope that this will solve the problem that you have.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
nope, but if you flash back to froyo it will rule it out...it must be a hardware issue if it still fails to work..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] saintblu:
Going back to froyo did not solve the problem. Is that mean I need to send my phone to service center. It's really weird since I don't have problem entering download/recovery mode which need middle button

well it seems the only option, if multiple softwares fail to fix the problem you may have to...but as you stated if the phone enters recovery and download mode that is rather strange :/

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
Most of the problems with flashing are not due to software, they are due to the user becoming impatient or to hardware issues in terms of the cable, port, etc. Most of the time if you are following instructions and don't mess with the hardware while the flash is occurring, you shouldn't have problems. Having said that, after reading many of the forums you get the impression that most 'leet' users and developers seem to gravitate to Heimdall, while the weekend warrior types and occasional modders do fine with Odin. I have flashed all sorts of modems, kernels and ROMs with Odin and have never had a problem.
