Taking apart the digitizer and the display!!!

Even Moderator sometimes are wrong!

Dismantle the device and disconnect the TS/Display from the mainboard.

After that, take out the display by using a small screwdriver to remove the 2 screws fixing the display and the speaker.

After that, push the small plastic lashes on the sides of the display and take it out of the cover upwards.

Now, you should have the metal back covering a white plastic frame and the digitizer mounted on the front.

The digitizer can be carefully removed, using a razor blade.

From now on: no more dust around!!!! (to aero: no milk!!!) Ha, Ha, sorry.

It is fixed with super thin double sided soldering tape. As you have been carefully enough and didn't brake the glass part of the TS you can fix it after cleaning without the need of something new.

The display itself can be take apart with the same screwdriver opening the sides of the metal back. Don't bend the metal, it is is just clipped.

Inside there are some (1 or 2?) filmslides and the back side of the display to clean .

This should have been all. In case the digitizer is broken, I recovered one of the broken display of my 8.5! Euro Alpine. (No joke!)

The (used) replacement display, I bought at X-mas came from china.

10 Euro cost (differs on changing course) and 12 Euro shipping.

There are still some left!! It took about 14 days to arrive, so it is worth waiting, as this is still half the price of a new one!!!

Good luck, to everyone on your own DIY-experiences.

My digitizer works , even better.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] muckelmaus:
Good to hear, I think it's some rest of your breakfast on the milky filmslides that should cover the back of the display to brighten it via the LED at the bottom of that white frame.

You vacuumed your I/O knob? Crazy.

Ask Ather, we'll get that managed.

Is yous still broken (or ready to get flashed again), or do you need one as secondary device?

I had a similar issue and unfortunately no amount of cleaning resolved it. In my situation, I needed a new LCD. Often times that's the case, that's why it's always a good idea to take it apart first and check it out for yourself. Good luck to all!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] muckelmaus:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] d4rk_sp1d3r:
same thing happened to me when we had the great flood back in Oct., I was able to restore my HIMA by drying it up bt the digitizer stoped working. i tried removing the digitizer and i learned that it was jst a piece of glass that sticks above the LCD. It could be possible that some of the liquid is still stuck in the middle of the LCD and the digitizer mirror. I think it realy needs a replacement of the digitizer. what i did to my HIMA was I bought a replacement LCD from Ebay in china and it works fine now.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] YAHAHANUVOELEGANLC:
I'm sorry, friend.

HI aeroflyluby

I had my fall But as a final screen, you lose and I need to change it.

I've carved out. Inside a plastic sheet multi-nested.

1. When you need water to quickly remove the LCD screen of your Ecedngm out and make it dry.

2. You be careful if you never fix it. But I am a mechanic by telephone.

3. In the end, you will definitely change the screen. The monitor in my price used is very rare and expensive.

Dear admins and mods, please close this thread, as it outdated 5 month now!!

I donated a working device to luby and he became one of the most active cookers (beside

I'm still working on a cheap hima for efsane, as his roms are still present and wanted here.

It's my way to show those cockers, that their work is worthfull.

I coupled a new project of mine, less then 12 euros!! (BTW my first non HTC device)

So, I am really convinced, to get a new used hima for efsane at last, to get him back to our beloved forum.
[G1 Apps and Games] topdnbass:
Hi fellow XDA'rs.

As most you probably know, the way android and most os's works, every time you start up your device some/many apps startup with it.

This certainly bogs things down on startup but also in the long run when they stay resident idling in mem.

Android allows apps to register for events that are then started whenever triggered.

For example, on my phone prior to getting this app, everytime I pressed the camera button Camera, SMS commander (WTF), ChompSMS (WTFF), and Snaphotopro ran code. I could even see it happening in a task manager.

Sometimes apps stay in memory indefinitely after doing something irrelevant to their function like clicking camera/downloading something :confused:.

So I disabled everything except my main camera and everything still works the same, but ONLY SnapPhoto runs code and uses memory.

The real place i think autostarts shines is that it not only allows you to selectively disable what starts on boot, but also control what happens on every event.

It's on the market for like 98cents or some crap, and I REALLY think we should support the dev for this top-notch app.

It does way more for me than overclocking etc.. and i'm not advertising LOL.

What do you guys think??

Stock Apps that May Be Unsafe To Disable

Messaging (Disabling Is Known To Hinder SMS-Retrieval)

Google Talk (Disabling Is Known To Cause Trouble with the Market)

Stock Apps That Appears to be Safe to Disable

Maps (Disabled on startup without issues)

Clock (Disabled on start without any issues thus far)

Camera (Disabled Stock camera from running when camera button is pressed without issue)

Pico TTS (A text-to-speech thing that runs code every time an app is installed Disabled without issue)

MP3 Store (Runs code whenever an app is replaced, disabled, no issues)
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
i used it before, but i noticed that if you disable some apps on startup, it will make those apps not function anymore. for example, i remember i disabled the default message app and a bunch of other "normal" apps, and then i would not get any SMS anymore or some of my apps stopped loading. also even after you uninstall the app, it would not return to normal. they listed this as a bug for the version i tried so i couldnt restore the apps i disabled.

right now i just use advance task manager and put the one click widget on my home screen. so after every event i get in the habit of just clickin that widget and it iwll close all apps. and everything works fine.
[G1 Apps and Games] topdnbass:
That's true. Disabling messaging will prevent you from getting sms's even if you have chompsms, chomp's main functionality is as a front-end to the messaging app, not the core. This is not the apps fault :p

The reason I made this post is so we could compile a list of apps that are okay to disable and aren't. I forget to mention that in the OP :D.

I will edit the first post with the list but I need input from the community.

So far..

Messaging (Disabling Is Known To Hinder SMS-Retrieval)

Google Talk (Disabling Is Known To Cause Trouble with the Market)

For the most part disabling stock apps isn't the brightest idea.

Autostarts will warn you when you try to disable a stock component.

Also you can view only non-stock apps, if you don't want to mess with the settings.

Some can be disabled without any apparent trouble.

In my case..

Maps (Disabled on startup without issues)

Clock (Disabled on start without any issues thus far)

Camera (Disabled Stock camera from running when camera button is pressed without issue)

Pico TTS (A text-to-speech thing that runs code every time an app is installed Disabled without issue)

MP3 Store (Runs code whenever an app is replaced, disabled, no issues)

There are several more instances of the same apps that are disabled.

So far no FC's or problems. I've reduced the amount of times I need to end all apps by about 90% :D

Feel free to help add to the list!
[G1 Apps and Games] Karolis:
I don't disable any stock apps as they seem to die by themselves after a while. Meanwhile I disable pretty much all 3rd party apps (except things like Sim Checker).

This app is amazing!

By the way, if you disable "Widget updating" it also removes unwanted widgets (I tend not to use any).
[G1 Apps and Games] topdnbass:
Glad it's working well for ya Karolis.

Thanks for the tip!

I havent actually tried it, but i'll remember that if I ever have too many widgets in the list.

Another tip is to check out Menu -> View.

You can enable the unknown's and have more options to disable :D
[G1 Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
Is anyone else annoyed by devs who don't allow their apps to be purchased through your T-Mobile account? Something about putting $0.99 on my credit card annoys me. :p No biggie, but it would be nice if that option was available for this app.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ace42:
Well what can we do except take it:p
[G1 Apps and Games] tehseano:
I use Startup Auditor, works pretty well, compared to Autostarts. I also believe it doesn't list anything that would damage your bootup.
[G1 Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
I hadn't heard of Startup Auditor either, but after reading about it, it seems a little more appealing than Autostarts. Especially the part about not disabling anything important from starting. Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] topdnbass:
Startup auditor isn't bad.

It doesn't have even a third of the options as autostarts though.

I tried it and although the GUI was nice, and it worked, the lack of choices made me uninstall it in a matter of minutes.

Also, if you're worried about messing up your phone with autostarts just go to Menu -> View -> Hide System Apps and its pretty much the same thing as startup auditor.
[G1 Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
I just purchased Startup Auditor and it seems like a nice app. However, I disabled a few apps and then rebooted. When the reboot finished, some of the apps that I had just disabled were still running! :( I've e-mailed the dev and will post if I get a response. Has anyone else experienced this with Startup Auditor or any other startup app?
[G1 Apps and Games] nmw407:
I've been using Autostarts for a while and I really notice the difference on boot up time. Before Autostarts it would take forever to boot up the system, then it would be super sluggish. Now since it doesn't start nearly half the apps on boot, it's much faster.

Some apps I question on why it's doing what it's doing. Like Tunewiki for instance. Why does it need to start when an application is replaced or removed? Cleared those out and everything is much speedier!
[G1 Apps and Games] topdnbass:
A lot of them are triggered by strange things.

Like you said, tunewiki when adding or replacing an app.

I think this is their way of staying in the background, which speeds up opening tunewiki but at the cost of slowing everything else down.

I hate developers that do this..
[G1 Apps and Games] quixotiCfluX:
How does the system determine which apps to run at boot?
[G1 Apps and Games] icantdrawanime:
Whenever i try to disable the amazon mp3 autostart the program tells me to wait and gets stuck on the please wait screen... Any clue if this is normal operation?
[G1 Apps and Games] Oozura:
amazon mp3 does not seem to want to be disabled.

edit: i think i figured out the problem with amazon mp3. you have to disable it in two places, once in the after startup but also in the connectivity changed section. also i was having trouble with other programs but i forgot i those had widgets. i think for apps that have widgets will cause those apps to load on start up. if you want to disable them you have to do so in the widgets section. just dont do it for widgets you actually have in use.
[G1 Apps and Games] adobrakic:
Does this app not work on latest superd? i get fc everytime on g1.
[G1 Apps and Games] s15274n:
Anyone know where there are two (2) Messanger apps AND two (2) Handcent apps listed for after startup?

Seems like I should be able to disable messanger, but from these posts perhaps not.... can I disable handcent with no issues... seems like a text received would trigger it to open with no problems.

Why (and can I stop) is Voice Dialer involved with all changes to applications (installed/removed)?
[G1 Apps and Games] ajisai:
I was wondering this too. Maybe it starts to read the app names so it can "read" the filename so if you call it through Voice Search it knows what app to call up. Not sure.
[G1 Apps and Games] webwude:
Imho, this app is absolutely amazing.

I had the problem, that although i am using Handcent only, still every text was shown as new in the message application as well (and the icon on the homescreen shows one new message). Now i have removed message completely - only my handcent widget shows any test infos ;)

Besides that, i could disable a lot of useless or at least strange applications starts triggered by certain events.

In this point of view, it's very useful, for Galaxy S as well!
[HD2 General] mk5644:
OK, I don't know how to describe this very well :) but I'll give it a try.

I have an English language HD2 (WWE) -- this might be important.

Normally, when you place a call, you get like an audio feedback, indicating that the phone at the other side is ringing. I think this audio signal is generated by phone company. Usually this works well. However, when I call some numbers, my HD2 creates a second audio signal (like an echo). My guess is that this happens when the audio signal from the phone company is of low volume. The reason why I guess that this second audio signal is created by the HD2, is because when I call the same number from a Nokia phone, this second audio signal is not generated.

I also have an HTC Touch Cruise (aka Polaris, aka P3650). Originally this phone was Dutch, but I flashed it to English using instructions found elsewhere on this forum. Interestingly enough, when the phone was Dutch the second audio signal (i.e. the echo) did not occur. But after I had flashed it to English, I did start to get the echo when calling certain numbers.

I am hoping that the echo sound can be cancelled by modifying a registry key.

Anyone?
[Nexus One General] paulobrien:
I thought i'd start a topic about loading up the Desire ROM on the Nexus One. I'm sure i'm not the only one that'll be doing it!

Main topic is here, but my findings so far (updated)...

- If you rebuild the boot image replacing the kernel it runs. I'm running my own custom kernel with himem and bits.

- The system.img doesn't fit on the N1 (!), it's nearly 200MB. I booted by moving some stuff off the system partition.

Working

- Trackball

- 4 bottom keys

- Proximity sensor

- LED

- Light sensor

- Compass and G sensor

- Flash 10.1

- WiFi

- Bluetooth

- Mic and noise cancellation

Not working

- 800x480 is max res for video recording, camera maxes out at 3MP, flash doesn't fire (early camera app, fixed in later builds)

- FM radio

- There are frequent graphical glitches - this could be related to the watermark code or an early build issue, investigating

More to follow! :)

[Nexus One General] tokyomonster:
So, it doesn't seem like the case is that the desire actually has more ROM than the N1, it's just that they use a different SPL with different partition sizes?
[Nexus One General] :
I was playing around with my build.props today on my Nexus One, and set ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.width to 800, and 800x480 worked fine.

I'de be interested to know if you have any luck with doing something like changing ro.media.enc.hprof.codec.vid to h264. Seems like nexus one can't record over 288xsomething in h264 mode. Kinda lame. Also can't set ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps above 2000000, where Droid users can go as high as 8000000 with excellent video quality.

Why exactly flash the SPL? I was just curious about the partition layout.
