[Nexus 7 (2013) General] graphdarnell:
For the benefit of those with the same problem who come after, I have 2 questions:

1. Why is it not feasible to replace just the touchscreen? (If you want, I can recount my experience later). Do you know if the touchscreen must come into contact with the surface of the LCD to operate normally?

2. By "extra piece of grounding tape", do you mean the pads mounted along the back of lcd on the mid-frame (the stuff that resembles steel wool), or the rectangular strip taped to the mid-frame and the back of the LCD? And did you tape it on top of the connector to hold it down in place or what?

While we're at it, I might as well mention firmware. I don't know how different touch firmwares have evolved to become, but I have a hard time believing that the touch hardware has so many variants one universal touch firmware wouldn't cut it, unless the initial design was irremediably flawed. After all, this is not Asus's first tablet!

Last year, working on the TF300, we came to realize that different touchscreen versions can be installed to mesh with different hardware versions, if we could find a basic firmware to flash independently that would stick through different roms. We did locate such firmware, which would cure all touchscreen misbehaviors, whether it be ghost touches, dead spots, non-responsiveness, or a combination thereof. Strangely, the cure-all firmware needs to be flashed after screen replacement regardless, even if the resident firmware is of the same version.

I see a parallel when quite a few with this Nexus 7 2013 model complain that their touchscreen act up after a stock rom update, or when some replace the touchscreen that would only work erratically afterwards, or replace the touchscreen card (charging port problem) and the touchscreen wouldn't work at all. I think the problem is largely that of calibration. Asus of course has such program but wouldn't release it. Perhaps reflashing the touch firmware would correctly recalibrate.

For whatever reason, the dev who gave us the multi-touch fix (sfhub) never explained what the basis of S10, 20, 30 is. But if those in this thread who are capable would care to extract the different touch firmwares embedded in various stock roms, I'd be willing to do the experiment to find out if there's one basic that fits all. I'm asking 'cause I can't. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lotherius:
The LCD/Glass/Digitizer are fused (glued together). If you are lucky, you can get that assembly removed from the bezel without damaging it. I was unable to do so. Not only that, once you get it removed from the bezel, it is very difficult to separate the two. Finally, the cost difference is minimal.

In my case, by the time I got the glass separated from the bezel, I had cracked the LCD without noticing, from the force of prying against the glue. And that was with enough heat that I actually also partially warped/melted the bezel. I ended up having to buy a whole new bezel/glass/LCD assembly.

If you're careful enough, you can remove the glass/digitizer/LCD combo from the bezel without damaging the bezel OR the LCD. But then you have to separate them. They are glued together not just on the edges, but all the way across. Some people have suggested using various chemicals to dissolve the glue - but most recommend not to try. Just replace the whole thing.

I'm referring to the strip of tape that needs to be removed to detach the cable. At this point, I'm certain there are _multiple_ points of failure having to do with contact and grounding, as well as pressure points, that have to be watched for. Basically everything is such a tight fit it has to go _exactly_ a certain way or things fail. Not being an engineer, I can't say for certain what's what. All I know is what did and did not work on my tablet.

Ima stay off the firmware topic. I'm not convinced it is firmware. Prior to breaking my screen, I had intermittent issues. Primarily if I mounted the tablet in a car mount (pressure on both edges) then the touchscreen would go unresponsive. A couple of times it went unresponsive and turning the screen off/on fixed it. A screen cycle could have fixed a temporary "glitch" due to grounding, and the carmount issue was _clearly_ a hardware trigger.

After reassembling everything with the new screen, I had all sorts of problems. A careful analysis of fit, positioning everything correctly, resulted in the touchscreen still failing as soon as I tried to put the back cover back on. Adding the tape strip solved it. Why? Who knows. It wasn't software, though, in my case.

Does that mean it's not software for someone else? Who knows. Maybe we've got two unrelated issues. But I'm firmly convinced that it has always been a hardware issue on my tablet. My software has never changed throughout this process - I'm on stock rooted 4.4.2.

I guess if someone who is _regularly_ having touch issues can test the drivers scientifically and document which solves the problem, then that would be helpful. Then if they fail to solve the problem, they focus on hardware, or do a warranty exchange, if they haven't ravaged the inside of their tablet like I have.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] graphdarnell:
The reason I asked the "LCD-Digitizer contact" question is that a repair shop claimed an air gap between the LCD and the touchscreen would cause lags. I directed the same question to them but they did not respond. Otherwise, separating the two can be done. I've done it since the 2012 model, if you have the right set-up. You need some patience, which is not compensated for by the price differential, given the time you spend doing it, but it's doable.

I've separated the two in this model as well, and preserve the LCD, but I've been having this touch problem (ghost touches and unresponsiveness depending on how you hold the tablet). I've been thinking about grounding, but given that other Asus tabs also use the same malleable plastic for bezels, I'd think the pressure on the touchscreen when everything is put together would be the same as with the Nexus 7. That's why we had the same problems (ghost touch and dead spots) when replacing just the digitizer on the TF300. We surmounted them all with reflashing the firmware though.

You could be right we're talking 2 different causes here (yours and mine). But I'd like to find out. Even if it helps 10% of the problem units, it'd be worthwhile. Any firmware wizards willing to lend a hand here?

[HTC Desire X] ShadowCodeGaming:
I wanted a phone, with some pretty decent specs.

And that's when I discovered the HTC Desire X.

At first it looked small, nothing too compelling,

Little did I know that this was poor foretelling.

It looked quite dull, quite cheap and quite bland,

that was before it landed in my hand.

A hand to a glove is like a hand to this phone,

It just feels so kind, you can't leave it alone.

But it's not just a nice grip that this phone possesses,

its predecessor's problems - this phone addresses.

Super screen, ace audio and camera filters too,

I think that Instagram had better watch out for you.

But if a camera's not enough, you just have to have more,

that's when you meet, the all acclaimed - Play Store.

With 1000's of apps, just waiting to be found,

From the ubiquitous Angry Birds, to the incredible SoundHound.

I found the phone, but with spectacular specs.

Thank you HTC, for my HTC Desire X

With CyanDelta work?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mackief:
Obviously it does. In fact, CyanDelta only make a flashable package, that you have to install manually from recovery. Then, yep. :)

BTW, now want also to make for you a Touch version of this CWM.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gandhar:
cyandelta installs the zip automatically too, if the recovery supports openrecovery script. TWPR does, and so does the CWM based recovery in CM sources. the original CWM from rom manager does not work properly AFAIK
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mackief:
It could be that CWM from Rom-Manager is out-to-date.

The only way it could not work, is because thi updated CWM still need some merging and commits by the team. Just try and let us know! :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gandhar:
i had last tried a long time back, don't know and don't care about the current condition :p

i like TWRP much more.

just saw your post on g+ about a ubuntu touch port, any progress on that? i am very interested in that.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] negativman:
Will another Nightly today or tomorrow, check whether a set CyanDelta!:p

Oh yes, the touch recovery - it would be very great. TWRP I personally do not like it. And the one that I have now for our smartphone is locked Rom Manager!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mackief:
About Ubuntu, it's not that simple.

It seems 4X kernel from CM team does not load into the system.

Unfortunately, I cannot debug which is the problem surely: but I'm sure I'll return on it in a week at least. I've some thoughts about how to make it loading and booting next to the kernel! ;)

As I understood CWM Touch is buildable only through clockworkmod-builder, and I'll do it. The only problem is that in that site, the sources are out-to-date, linked to 4.3 branches.

So, we have to wait, till CWM will update the sources linked in the site to build a 6.0.4.4 touch recovery. :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] negativman:
Do not quite understand! Surely there's a new CWM 6.0.4.4. You can unlock it from Rom Manager? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2523732
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mackief:
Hey.

Just built a new build of CWM, now coded 6.0.4.5.

In this new release, CM team has apported an important fix - as also TWRP team has done - that avoid any issue while flashing some of KitKat based roms.

BTW, made a test build of CM11, gonna test it ;)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] mackief:

If you don't want me to build it, just update your port to 6.0.4.5. Ty, dude! ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] negativman:

For several days I'm on ViperS 3.1.4. It's my second custom rom and I find it great because of smoothness and battery life. I also haven't found any bug so far. But reading about ViperS 5.0.0 I'm so curious about it. Do you advise me to switch to it or wait till Venom Tweaks will be added?
[HTC Sensation] Paco91:
VierpS 5.0.0 is great :D !

I use ViperS 5.0.0 since the realise date and i love it. Its super smooth. You should try it. If you love tweaks you will miss them for sure but Team Venom is working on it ;) so it's just a matter of time :)
[HTC Sensation] Rafi76:
Have you tried 3.1.x before? If yes, then what is the comparison in terms of battery life?
[HTC Sensation] Paco91:
I didnt use it because it was relised almost at the same time as 5.0.0 and I decided to use this one first. I have read whole 5.0.0 thread and people are very optimistic about battery life and smoothness ;) Few guys have some lags due to apps on sd card but generally all say its great :)

Example

Yesterday i relflashed the rom with full wipe. Now i have 16% of battery. I use Anker 1900 mAh. CPU @ 1296 GPU@266 and my phone is running 26th hour with 2.5h on screen, 0.5 h of phone calls, 13h of wifi. And i flash a rom on this charging wich used some enrgry.
[HTC Sensation] Rafi76:
Thanks for info :) so probably in next few days i will switch to 5.0.0. Hopefully i won't be forced to go back to 3.1.4 that is superb rom in many aspects. So if 5.0.0 is better even only in battery life than i will give a try.
[HTC Sensation] V6Lump:
I switched from 3.1.4 to 5.0.0 and I find it great. Battery life is amazing. Two things that I hope can be changed in future versions are:

1. More customisation of Blinkfeed

2. Jetcet Print capability for mail widget.
[HTC Sensation] Paco91:
It's not only the battery. The ROM is very smooth. Before Vipers 5.0.0 I used Inspiration 1.0.1 with the same frequencies and i can see huge difference ! ViperS is much fater :good:

I'm using 3.1.4 right now. I have tried 5.0.0 and its a very good rom, but has no Tweaks and i have some issues playing games on it. Everything else is smooth and stable ill try it again when everything in Tweaks works.
[HTC Sensation] BaschtlWaschtl:
I also tried ViperS 5.0.0 and finally switched back to 3.1.4. When the Tweaks are implemented in ViperS 5.1.0 i will return to this nice Blinkfeed :victory:

[HTC Sensation] monkor:
Here's my review, as a guy coming from a Nexus 4 that broke: it's the best Sense ROM for this phone. Despite having so little RAM, Team Venom has somehow made Sense 5.1 run incredibly well.

Of course there will be reloads because of the low RAM, and battery life takes a slight dip, but that's it. The tweaks are good, the camera is as good as it'll ever be, and most features work as advertised.

I use Viper 5.1.0. and have found many bugs. I will change back to 5.0.0 because i haven't found many bugs on 5.0.0, only camera is ok after 9 shooting pics.

Well CM11 is essentially rock solid, so that's hard to beat. But the only bug I've found of on 5.1 is the occasional widget resizing. Other than that it's perfect

Hi all,

It's that time of the year again...

I'm on the lookout for a new phone, as you can see I'm currently using a galaxy s2, which is my first one without a physical keyboard (g1, original droid, HTC Desire Z).

Even though this phone has been good to me, I was wondering if nowadays there are still good devices being made with a physical keyboard?

All suggestions are welcome, preferably a decent battery and a chance to run kit kat (although I have confidence that this forum will be able to help me in the long run)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
We have a stable software, it's called STOCK. It is more stable than any of the custom ROMs available and, if you disable MLT, the battery life isn't too bad either.

What you mean is that you're going to try and petition LG to release Kitkat (how I hate that name) for our device - well good luck with that, but you won't change anything, they either will or will not release it depending on how they feel and what plans they have.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Vittorio28:
Is Stock stable? I don't think... an incredible hot from battery if you use a simple game as dead trigger, the mistery of the " offline mode", automatic unlock of screen and the launcher that is sh...t, do you think that is a stable firmware?

However, if you dislike this initiative... simply doesn't comment, is better to try that to fail without tentatives...
