Screen Bubbles

[SFG147]

I apo in advance if this has already been addressed but I didn't se it so...

My vogue has a screen protector on it. I noticed, one day as I was using my phone, that the scroll bar on the side wasn't working due to the bubble I saw. Being quite good at applying screen protectors I removed the one I had to investigate. In horror, I realized that the bubbles in my screen were not due to my screen protector, but further down.

So

This phone was a gift from my leet brother who upgraded to Touch Pro. He gave me his old phone (which I loved, mods and all, even the extended life battery and accessories). I'm scared to see if the screen has another screen protector on it or if thats the standard screen with bubbles in it. I'm still not sure because I can still see the screen beneath the bubbles.

My bro says that PPC geeks is the leet place for any smart phone questions so. Heres I is.

Sounds like the digitizer is coming loose in that area. There are replacements out there if you look.

I'm glad you got it all worked out!

Well, after being such a newb with smart phones (but not with electronics) I ended up haviing to take your advice and buy a digitizer as my touch screen stopped working. To my delight, it only cost 15 bucks.

So I buy one on eBay and it claims to come with instrutions. I went to the instructions link. It was dead. Meh bro came home from college to help out with the circuitry.

THank goodness too, because I had no idea I was gonna have to take my phone almost completely apart. (This was only because we had to find some other instructions and ending up having to use two different sets.)

I'm sayin all this to say that meh bro (Oxymoron) is awesome! We got to a part where we had to FORCE the digitizer out of the frame of the phone and burst throught the glue that was on there to get it out.

I couldn't do it.

I just gave him the phone and looked away. (I know I'm a shrimp, but I deal with software not hardware. Scripting I can handle, building not so much. LOL)

Long story slightly shortened, We put the phone back together and turned it on and it worked better than it did when I got it.

So rep to God for blessing that to work out.
Rep to meh bro who is the Mod Master!
And Uba Rep to PPCGeeks and XDA for being a constant 24/7 support help. (even betta than Alltel. )

Me and Mercury (my phone) thank you! d (^0^) b Two thumbs to you all!
