How to mount a new Touch panel on OMNIA

[Guest eufouria]

Bah! not even a week and I've scratched my new screen, it also has a spot of lint beneath (Very aggrivating make sure it's clean under several different light sources before tightening your screws).

But I really wanted black anyway so as soon as I can find someone selling the new digitizer in black I'll buy and make a photo tutorial for the i910.

[Guest lirio]

thanks

[Guest shenster]

SECTOR from which ebay seller did you buy it? and could you tell me what color yours is?

[Guest thescope]

Orderd mine some 4 days ago the suspense is killing me :D

[Guest shenster]

i just ordered a black one. hopefully it will be black when i get it.. and more importantly it will be super sensitive.

[Guest emre toprak]

Please, any one who has the BLACK screen can you recommend a seller? PLEASE!

Every one on ebay tells me that they only have the grey one...

With the new touchpanels, has anyone used it with invisible shield???

I know it causes a reduction in sensitivity but i dont know how much.

my current touch screen feels responsive and sometimes works with a light finger touch. but its a hit and miss, and very fustrating when it misses.

It is extremely responsive to fingernail presses and works without a problem.

Just wanted some input from people using invisible shield.....

Just installed mine that i ordered from wholesaleandy; it's the black one, seems slightly more responsive. I installed this on my i910, for verizon wireless (USA.) The guides were all different from what one for the 910 would be, but it's pretty self explanatory anyways. I'm just sort of annoyed since I ordered this and it came shipped with a very slight lift, as if it got dropped on something sharp on the bottom. Whatever though, i'm still happy.

[Guest ghost82]

i had a quick go on a iphone last night and felt so disappointed again with my omnia, it is so sluggish and slow when touching it, but i should have one of these touch panels waiting at home for me on friday. so hopefully it will make it nearly as good as the iphones screen

[Guest denteno]

how could i know if the screen is the new improved one or the old one

[Guest maf107ezk0]

[Guest wickedjinx]

Is it not easier to select items from menus? brows the web? etc... I am still waiting for my screen by the way, look at the videos and compare <_<

It means you already had the good screen or you have received the bad one, bad stuff anyway

[Guest sector]

i think this topic should be pinned.

it helped a lot of ppl regarding on fixing their screen.

thanks to all of you

[Guest mrdeadlock]

For the people who have the i910 and have replaced there screens.

How long have you had your phone? I'm trying to figure out..if i have an old one or not. My screen doesnt SEEM to be as responsive as those videos that were posted. Yet i'm using Wozzers 6.5 v2 rom. Which roms are you guys using? Also, when did you get your phone? On the back of my i910 it says 8.12. Could be a batch or a date?

[Guest pekkala89]

Hi All,

Just wanted to add my experience to this thread.

My Omnia was purchased in October/November last year.

Although i havent really had any major issues with my screen, i was curious about the claims in this thread regarding the new hardware.

So i ordered a new digitizer.

It was simple enough to fit.... no real risk of damaging anything and it didnt take long to do.

The response of the new digitizer is MUCH better then my old hardware.

It is indeed now comparible sensitivity wise to the iPhone.

The device now recognises VERY light finger sweeps and touches, whereas previously there always had to be some element of pressure to any touch selections.

Anyway... i am now extremely happy i took the plunge!

am soooo jealous ... does anyone know of a company which will replace the touch screen? I sooo want this but dont trust myself ...

I just know there will be an "ohnosecond" and I'll screw up.

I will try to shed some light on the issue of the sensitivity of the digitizer in the Omnia. As I said some time before I got my phone in October and the touch screen was not feeling OK. It needed pressure to register a touch, especially in the middle, and I could not scroll or pan without using my fingernail or the stylus.

I saw three other Omnias up to now, one bought in November ( slightly better touch screen, but not perfect ) and two 16G Omnias bought in December and January, and the 16G ones had really good screens, comparable to what I have installed now on mine. On a good screen you can click anywhere with a light fingertouch and you can pan and scroll without effort ( ofcourse some light pressure is required, unlike the Iphone which needs just the touch of the fingertip - I played with some ). Actually if i had not seen the new Omnias with my own eyes I would have not replaced the digitizer on mine, because I was used to it and had no problem using the phone.

So to sum this up I don't think everyone will benefit from a replaced digitizer, and maybe people that have replaced theirs will post and say how old their phones are...

One more thing : a good test of the digitizer is using the phone diagnostics *#0*# , click touchscreen, and put your finger in the top left corner, keep it evenly pressed on the screen and draw a wavy pattern to cover the entire screen... if you see only little black dots where you drag your finger everything is ok...

[Guest GodsGift]

mine is one of the originals, got it on the day of release in the UK .. so the screen is garbage... doesnt work without a nail or stylus!
