is it worth trying to fix this phone?
is the cost going to justify it?


i plan on getting a new phone by the end of the year. i just cant find a phone i like so far.

It's been awhile since I've torn apart any of my Titans, but *I BELIEVE* the digitizer and LCD have two separate flex cables. Replacing a digitizer isn't hard, but you can crack your LCD in the process (done it). Digitizers are pretty cheap, check eBay. You'll most likely need to solder the new flex cable, so be careful.

As for the keyboard, try finding a replacement keyboard on eBay. I purchased one for $20 after shipping and handling and it's working great after several months. The keyboard issues are common on the Titans, so I would expect any replacement keyboard to eventually show the same problems.

oh ic, i just saw it on ebay. i thought it was just the flex wire. how do i know for sure its the digitizer vs. just the flex wire?

because the screen works (lights up like normal with no blurs or issues) just when i use the touch part nothing happens.
also everything was working just fine till i opened it, cleaned it and closed it. i didnt disconnect the flex wire that connected the screen to the main board. i only disconnected the flex wire that connected the keyboard, but the keyboards has worked like crap for a year now.

if the touch screen functionality doesn't work, it's the digitizer. it could be the ribbon from the digitizer that is messed up, but even if it's not.... the digitizer needs replaced.

im curious now, how delicate is the digitizer screen?
i guess i was pressing kinda hard to clean all the edges with soap and water. so im not sure if its the soap and water that damaged it or my pressing on it kinda hard.

just wanted to know so not to make the mistake again in the future.

local seller sucks


edit:
i have just dealt with the business and the customer service is horrible. i dont recommend them. i did remove the link to their site.

From my experience, the digitizer is plastic, but the glass that it sits on is... well... glass. The glass piece is the fragile part.

i have not abused the keyboard but i have dropped it once. it fell out when i laid it on my jacket and not knowing it was there pulled it out of the car with the cell on it. it fell and was still working.

now it has a problem much later.

is the keyboard screwed up?
how do i fix it if its keyboard problem?

It doesn't appear as if anything is wrong.

That looks like the newly innovated automatic text abbreviation feature recently introduced by your carrier.

First you never use soap and water on electrical components. That is probably your main problem.

the water is not on the components. it was just on the screen and nothing else.
