Guest Gujs Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hi guys, I got one from wholesaleandy and it is even worse than the old one. Do you guys know where can I get the new one without any risk to get the same crap again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tab0 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Do you guys have idea how to recognize new digitizer and old one? Are there any differences between those two without installing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest freeppl Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Do you guys have idea how to recognize new digitizer and old one? Are there any differences between those two without installing them? The new one has tiny barely visible dots all over the front while the old one did not.

Guest steff195 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 So you too have those dots like under the touch, barely visible under some angles? I thought I forgot some other foil under the touch... so I removed it again to check that, but I realised that't just the way it is. On the other hand I can confirm that the touch from wholesaleandy loses its responsiveness.... I have mine for almost a month now, but it's not like it was at first. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just afraid of that, i will have to start "digitizer changing process" ;) One by one changing them. Maybe the new digitizer are fakes from China (with respect the Country) - they never had problems with copying everything whats on consumers market. Maybe there is a connection between responsiveness and digitizers life? resposiveness = lowered life time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jasey12 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 My phone is a replacment after mine was Stolen and got broke ( as most dickheads do at school ;), I had the last laugh though as when he jumped over the fence into a police officers and he (the kid who stole and broke my phone) broke his leg and got arrested) Anywayz. My old October 08 omnia had a rather bad touch screen, but when my replacment came a few months ago it has 8GB written on the top left? Does this mean i have the newest digitizer? and i tried looking for the light sensor next to the frontal camera and did notice it looked slightly different even though i couldn't see anything? I'll post a youtube video maybe of my touch responsivness =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest a1m80t Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 According to some article i read on google, all resistive touchscreen lose effectiveness after a while. I would assume that the cheap digitizers we buy on ebay are just bad quality and just loose its effectiveness much sooner. I just recently purchased an official housing, including an official samsung digitizer, i'll report back in a few weeks to see if it gets any worst.

Guest Itlooksfast Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I have the i910 Omnia and I was wondering if this apply to the i910 screen? My screen has scratches on them and I just wanna replace them but I keep seeing digitize screens for i900 only...does that matter? Or can use it for my i910?

Guest lorin.bute Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I have changed my digitizer 2 days ago. I went to a phone service and asked them to do it. I got it back the next day. Its very impressive and its got the 8GB sign on the top left corner. I don't know what digitizer they used but i guess its the official one from Samsung. Its too bad that it looses its responsiveness after a while. I can't afford changing the digitizer every few months. I guess this calls for a new phone, maybe the O2.

Guest a1m80t Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) Sorry guys for the late response, this is for the FULL HOUSING and DIGITIZER, hence the higher cost. I don't know if they have JUST the digitizer or not, i need both so it didn't bother me. Cost: ~45USD Seller Name: maxtel-ltd Location: UK !!!! Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-SAMSUNG-i900-...%3A1%7C294%3A50 There stock consists of 14 day returned phones. So it’s not exactly new, but like the others, my digitizer from china is crapping out in a little under a month. I can confirm that it is crapping out because I compared it to a touch pro with the sensitivity patch (granted, even with the new digitizer, the touch pro + patch was always bit better) Give me a week or so for my package to arrive and I’ll let you guys know if the UK seller is good or junk. I think it would be a good sign though if the new digitizer matches my touch pro. Edited July 23, 2009 by a1m80t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only the knockoff digitizers looses its responsiveness, and knockoffs don't have the 8GB sign on top. You should be good, but keep us posted.

Guest tab0 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Ehh.. No the question is which seller have not knocked-off digitezers. i bet all super cheap are the worst ones, but also it can apply to more expensive ones. Each can cheat ;) I think i will have to stick to my as long as possible. I added Zagg Invisible Shield to my Omnia and... guess what. On Ryrzy's rom i see totally no difference between "with" and "without". :) I guess its not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest warnold007 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hi a1m80t! Keep us posted on what happens. Thanks! Does it come with the tools needed to open/replace the covers? I want to change my casing also (accidentally dropped it and now has a bad scratch on the housing, not on screen) ;) Although I want to also change my digitizer in the process to see if its really better. :) So this will be a good buy for me as well. I got my omnia when it first came out August last year (first ones to have it!) so I'm assuming I don't have the new digitizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest luc1f3rspalm Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 work with the i910? any more scratch resistant then the original screens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quang05BlkBoxsterS n Omnia Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I was REALLY hoping that the risk was all worth it a try until some of you complained that the new improved digitizer got worse than even the original one only after a couple months. So it is NOT a good idea to replace it and so often then. Any other ideas? Mine really sucks too (old screen i900) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest a1m80t Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Any new yet? See PM :) Phil The digitizer was pulled from a vodafone omnia so there is labeling but it should be easy to remove if needed. The performance is what you expect, but perhaps slightly better than the generic ones. I cannot say it will stay that way for months to come, but i have faith in offical samsung products that it will last long enough to i get a new phone. Also, the housing that comes with it is silver not black and theres some light scratches on it that you could probably buff out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wadzii Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I replaced my digitizer about a month and a 1/2 ago. it seemed fine at first, but now it seems like i have to press on the screen really hard to make it do anything. is anyone else having this problem?
