Awesome Guide, I just used it to replace my own digitizer and it worked a charm

Thanks :D
[HTC EVO 3D] ronilzizou:
Yeh things didnt go quiet as planned....

Managed to get the phone almost completely apart.

Got stuck trying to take out the LCD from the digitizer so i could replace the front housing, i cant get the friggin thing loose! Basically ill have to get a new digitizer so i can get this one out properly by cutting the wire (Plus i think i might have screwed it up anyway) AND also my hand slipped while taking it apart and the pry tool went over the LCD screen so it's got a little scratch on it :(

on a side note, i do have insurance on it through a bank which covers accidental and malicious damage, lose or theft so might be able to claim a new phone if things get worse!
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I hate to say it, but it sounds like the digitizer still. When I took my phone to Sprint to get the digitizer repaired, they replaced the whole front housing due to the difficulty of replacing the digitizer, even for their trained technicians.
[HTC EVO 3D] valve timing:
thats goofy i did my screen in like a half hour today i just took it apart and separated the digitizer from the lcd i still cant unlock the phone nor can i get the light deflectors to line up correctly. so the buttons dont light up correctly ugh this is aggravating i installed the digitizer perfectly no ight leaks or anything

Thank you very much for sharing this!

I replaced the display of my EVO 3D GSM, because it was cracked and then I rereassembled everything again and now everything is working fine but the rear camera.

The standard camera app shows a black screen but the front camera works.

So do you have an Idea, where the problem could be located?

I'd really appreciate your help.
[HTC EVO 3D] en11gma:
thanks for the guide

thanks for the nice guide

i did the digitizer replacement and have done them on other phones too but i have a problem

down towards the capacitive buttons i have a line break that goes all the way from one side of the screen to the other (dead zone)

i dont actually "see" any cracks or breaks but when i use the app "multitouch test" it shows this

http://imgur.com/a/5KLU5

please look at the album as it shows what i mean

could this happen if i dont have the ribbon cable inserted correctly or is it something wrong with the digitizer glass?
[HTC EVO 3D] en11gma:
fixed it

it was ribbon cable connector

Which screen do you recommend (on ebay there are much , but which one you think is the best ?)
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
It all depends on if you need the touch screen digitzer (outer glass) or the LCD (internal display). But you can go to our website and find everything you need through the part locator, and that might help you get on the right track. If you order with us we have support tools to help you out like "Livechat", and repair videos suited for your phone to help you with your repair. Are you going to repair the phone yourself?
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
Sure, sorry to hear your having issues. Have you double checked all of the camera connections or is it possible you may have missed something there? If thats not the issue, you may have a faulty rear camera but its most likely a faulty connection. You can actually go to our site and have a live technician assist you to help you to diagnose your problem and help you right away!

I stopped working touch buttons at the bottom of the screen, a loop is responsible for the ego works. My phone was dropped, then it all started, maybe something has departed from the board.:confused:

I bought a htc evo 3d, and after do and upgrade by OTA my touch screen loose sensibility on the bottom, here a video that explain better my problem:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tjn...DvjVQa1PpcFOPYdE22Jb6NzYyMJ3y9UA8_r9ht9GuQxI=

is there a chance that upgrade damage my touch screen?

if a change the touch screen digitizer my problem will solve?
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
Hi,

Yes, this appears a touch screen issue. Check over the connections. If you are still having trouble you may need a replacement.

What exactly was done to the phone that appeared to cause this issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] tchodz:
To be honest i drop the phone but was like one inch drop so i dont know if this cause the touch screen problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
This could of caused it. I would check the connections first just incase but it looks more likely it is damaged and will need replacing.
[HTC EVO 3D] tchodz:
Ok. Thanks for it. Just another question, is there a chance to brick my phone changing the digitizet?
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
Its unlikely however there is always a chance you could cause damage when you open any device. Just be careful and take it slowly.

I got some useful information; the sprint digitizer (touchscreen) fits on the gsm version.

Mine was broken and I couldn't find any cheap gsm digitizers for the evo 3d, but there are more than enough sprint digitizers out there.
[HTC EVO 3D] ronilzizou:
Right so after replacing my digitiser and front housing, everything looked like it was going to work.

Apart from when i was checking if everythings does actually work...

-The 3D isn't. the screen seems to be like its mis-aligned or something it just looks weird. This happens on games,camera and videos.

-Also the speaker for phone calls doesnt seem to be working. I cant hear people in phone calls. this could be fixed easily i think.

The main problem is the 3D screen. Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone?!

[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:

[HTC EVO 3D] Action B:
I have a faulty digitizer but my lcd screen is still in perfect working condition. The digitizer is not broken but instead has phantom touches and acts oddly and registered additional points when touched in particular areas especially with a little pressure.

An example video = http://youtu.be/iibiNS2ymRg

Please let me know what you think of this symptom. It's severity is random but I can always make it do it to some degree with a bit of pressure, however, sometimes it will do it when I'm not even touching the screen at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
You are correct. This is a touch digitizer issue. Looks like you will need a replacement to resolve this issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] Action B:
Thanks for your response. Is it more difficult to replace just the Digitizer instead of both lcd and Digitizer? Also, I'm assuming I will need adhesive? I've replaced both lcd and Digitizer on an EVO 4g and the lcd and Digitizer I bought came adhered together if I remember correctly, is this the case for the 3d? Thanks for your help your support in this is appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
That is correct, it is much easier to replace the LCD+touch screen digitizer combo than the individual screens on the HTC 4G. On the HTC 3D they are separate.
[HTC EVO 3D] johnsonjs:
Great write up!

My Evo 3d display went dim the other day for no apparent reason. If I hold it in the light just right I can very faintly see the display. I can unlock the phone by swiping up so the screen works in that sense but it is totally dark.

I've let the phone sit without the battery inside overnight but the problem persists.

Any idea what I would need to replace in this situation?

Thanks for any advice!
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
This is an LCD issue. You can check the LCD flex cable to see if it securely connected. If that does not work then you will need a new LCD to fix the back light issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] KL45SiiK:
Hello guys I need some help... Can you guys identify what's wrong with my phone... all of a sudden my phone just stopped booting up.... only the capacitive buttons stay on...

Here's a video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l72rgerb3onpvwl/VIDEO0047.3gp

i made a thread in the Q&A http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1620865

From the helpof some people i'm sure there's some type of screen issue but i don't know what it is. Please help me identify the problem guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
Hello,

You said that one of the ribbon cables had a hole in it. This could be the LCD flex cable. Since there is an issue with the display then I would suggest replacing the LCD. This can be found on our website.
[HTC EVO 3D] KL45SiiK:
no i didn't say that... ignore the audio in the background i was playing a video
[HTC EVO 3D] ronilzizou:
So basically you cant see anything on your screen as it remains off but capacitive buttons work. And ADB recognises the device.

Have you tried taking the phone apart to check if the LCD ribbon is connected properly cause that's all I can think off for you to do since everything else is exhausted.

This will void warranty though so make sure you want to go ahead with it.

Or you could just give it back to wherever you got it from and see if they can get the phone fixed or replaced for you. Try running a RUU again to go back to stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] catdeerduck:
Hi guys was wondering if you guys could help me.

I dropped my evo 3d today and the screen cracked :(. The phone still works properly but the screen is cracked. It has like a spider web look..looks cool tbh lol. Should I order a replacement digitizer or a replacement LCD Screen?
[HTC EVO 3D] KL45SiiK:
Adb does recognize the device and I can't run ruu.... I tried and its a no go.... As far as opening goes which one is the LCD ribbon and is it hard to remove/repair???
[HTC EVO 3D] ronilzizou:
Its not hard at all: Here's a good video that i followed to open up the device: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjqJy6PL6Xs

I don't think it's worth it replacing the LCD if it is faulty since its like £80 quid or there abouts. You'd rather send it to HTC just saying the screen stopped working and let them fix it, i think they'll charge about the same.

Also if ADB doesn't recognise the device, maybe there's something wrong elsewhere but not with the screen....
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
Hi,

This is a common issue following a drop or knock. You will need the replacement touch screen digitizer. You can find it here - HTC EVO 3D Touch Screen

[HTC EVO 3D] Garrytheogre:
perhaps you can answer my question.

I purchased a replacement loud speaker for my GSM evo 3d. and the one I received does not fit my phone (its thicker and has a different number on it)

The company claims it the right speaker for the evo 3d . So I was wondering if you have come across more than one loud speaker revision for the evo 3d?
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
No we have not come across more than one loud speaker for this device.

[HTC EVO 3D] DLM2583:
my phone dosent have any contact near the bottom of the screen its not cracked or anything does that mean its just the digitizer or could it be the lcd i want to replace it whatever it is just need confermation on whats the right part to by thanks

i own an evo 3d i have seen that it happens to alot of these phones
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
Do you mean the touch screen isn't responding near the bottom? If so then you just need the touch screen digitizer replacement which you can find here - HTC EVO 3D Touch Screen Digitizer replacement
[HTC EVO 3D] pumamane:
Anti-static

I read that it is advisable to perform a screen/digitizer replacement using an anti-static pad or other grounding method so that you reduce the risk of shorting the internal components....much like is recommended when working inside of a laptop/desktop
[HTC EVO 3D] DLM2583:
i found one for 12 bucks on ebay do think that it matters were i get it and if the quailty will be the same

Non 3d replacement screen?

Thanks for the awesome thread.

Just curious if there is a non 3d replacement screen available for the Evo 3d that is brighter and with better viewing angles.
[HTC EVO 3D] aceking:
Hi everyone,

just a quick question, I bought a lcd+touch combo for my Evo3d to replace and it was very hard for me to get the lcd out from the housing, was glued into it. Now do I need some adhesive to hold the lcd+touch combo in the housing? I think so because its falling out if I turn it over, there is nothing to hold it in the housing. And if yes which adhesive do I need?

Thanks,

ace
[HTC EVO 3D] ronilzizou:
Doubt it. Dont think thats possible.

You do need adhesive to hold the screen and digitizer. I used this : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180836472...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2404wt_1037

Cut it out to little strips and apply. There's also this video that shows how its done: Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjqJy6PL6Xs Go to about 26:36.

Pretty easy doing it, just get the strips the right size, if it sticks out abit e.g over the edge of the housing, when you put everything together, and look at the screen, you'll see the adhesive sticking out and its a pain to clean/cut it out again
[HTC EVO 3D] hav22:
I guess the original question was about adhesive type to place digitizer+LCD combo to the place. I have the same question because I bought a combos as well. Digitizer and LCD are already glued to each other and all we need is to put this assembled combo to the phone body and there are two strips of adhesive are used. The question is - what type of adhesive can be used here? In other words - what type of adhesive can be used to glue LCD to phone body?
[HTC EVO 3D] aceking:
Thanks for the quick reply! I already ordered the adhesive, looks not too difficult on the video:)
[HTC EVO 3D] ronilzizou:
Ah my bad... I cant seem to re-call how i did it to mine, but i'm 95% sure i only placed the adhesive between the digitizer and screen not on the combo and housing. I may be wrong (Sorry my memory is really bad :P) The combo was then put in the housing and i put everything back together. From what i remember, the digitizer felt like it would come apart if adhesive was not used, not the screen itself. The screen is probably held in place to the housing another way. But i forget so sorry :(

Good luck with the fix :)
[HTC EVO 3D] hav22:
Thanks for reply. I know exactly that two wide stripes of adhesive are used to hold LCD in the housing. Unfortunately I didn't prepare correct adhesive before the replacement procedure and just used some office adhesive (with 70um thickness) which I had. However the screen (whole LCD+digitizer combo) sometimes falls off from the housing a little bit. So now I'm trying to find an information about adhesive type which is applicable for this.
[HTC EVO 3D] spiritfly:
Greetings fellow forum members!

I noticed you are having quite a discussion about the HTC Evo 3d here so I thought I might ask for advice here.

I broke the LCD/digitizer on my evo 3d a while ago (fell in a dark hole and the evo 3d was in my pocket, it was quite a blow). So I ordered an LCD/Digitizer combo from bay. I managed to replace it myself as per instructions on a youtube video and everything works perfectly. I damaged the front bezel from the sides a bit however, while trying to take the LCD out because I didn't use hot air. The guy on the tutorial took it out so easily so I thought I should try harder and it happened, but it's not that bad. I could buy a new front bezel.

Anyway what kind of bothers me are the buttons. They don't light up correctly. Actually none of the four capacitive buttons won't light up at all, except one line(the bottom one) of the second button that represents the a menu icon. Actually the foruth button / search icon lights too, but ONLY slightly, hard to notice really.

Now I'm not quite sure, but I think I saw the buttons light in that state right after I broke my phone. I thought this would get fixed too by replacing the LCD/Digitizer, but for some reason it didn't. So light of the buttons has to be connected/regulated through another part of the phone which isn't included in with the LCD/Digitizer. So do you have any suggestions what might be responsible for this condition? I would really like to get them fixed, and I'm quite sure it's something simple that operates the lights, but I don't want to disassemble my phone again and not have a clue what to look for.

Thanks

[HTC EVO 3D] RunoTheDog:
Hi all,

yesterday I replaced the digitizer and the LCD screen (new) on my evo 3d. After the reassembly I noticed these issues:

- the search (fourth button at the bottom does not work),

- I can`t type the letter 'r',

- only the backlight of the second and the fourth button work,

- if I select one application in the main menu, it selects the one on it`s left (but only on the right side of the screen).

Everything else works fine.

I guess this is a bad flex connection issue, so what I would like to know is, which flex cable, specifically, should I check.

Another, side-question... I`ve put some semi-transparent(medicinal) duck tape over the two flex cables on the back of the LCD screen (the original screen also had some sort of type over them). Could this be the problem, and is that tape on the original screen some special type of tape, or this shouldn`t matter.

I thank you all in advance four your replies!
[HTC EVO 3D] ronilzizou:
Seems to be a faulty digitizer/flex cable. Either way you will probably have to get a new one to fix the issues regarding the touchscreen not working properly.

As for the backlights, do you mean they are completely off or really dim?

You could try checking the digitizer flex cable again, take it apart and put it back together. If that doesn't work your digitizer is most probably forked.
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
No problem. Glad we could help!
[HTC EVO 3D] RunoTheDog:
The 1st and the 3rd backlights are completely off. The 2nd and the 4th are dim (do the backlights come from the LCD screen or are there any leds I did not see).

Thank you for your answer. I will check the flex cable of the digitizer.
[HTC EVO 3D] repairsuniverse:
These lights are located on a piece of the motherboard.
[HTC EVO 3D] p_2001:
could someone tell me which one is the screen connections? my screen is acting weird.. weird in the sense that holding it front up for a few mins will enable me to use it but keeping it horizontal with screen up the lower buttons stop acting.

I would guess that the connection for the capacitive buttons are different than those of the rest of the screen.. I am not sure though. My phone seems to be a case of lose connection because a faulty digitizer would not care whether the phone is held in some special angle for it to respond.

[HTC EVO 3D] Yawa306:
So friends, after an install (thank you for the lovely guide) of a new screen, it is acting wonky. I have checked and rechecked all my connections. When the phone first boots or comes out of sleep, I have to hit the power button twice to get the backlight too turn on. It's very strange, as it turns on perfectly when I do this, but the backlight remains off when the phone boots or on the first press after waking up.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why. I am open to any and all ideas. Besides this, though, the phone is looking better and working better than it did on the day I got it.

The other bizarre thing is I'm convinced now that I've seen her guts so to speak, though I bought this phone new, that its a refurb. I replaced the front bezel when I changed screens (i dropped it and it was bent) and you would not believe the amount of glue that was just everywhere. and I mean everywhere guys. places it shouldn't have been.

Anyway anyone with any theories or suggestions is welcome as the screen works better than the first one other than the hanging without a backlight unless I double tap the start button.
