Android Central Question

Hi,

my xperia z1 compact developed an issue where it was unresponsive in the lower part of it. Because the phone is quite old and not supported by Sony anymore, I bought a replacement and gave it a go myself.

I thought it went well, but after a few hours the screen starting getting loose. THe replacement screen came with a new double sided adhesive sticker, and as far as I can tell this is still sticking to the new screen well but completely let go from the phone body (apart from a little bit at the top of the phone which is still holding it together).

I ordered a new adhesive, but wamt to prevent this from happening again. Does anyone have experience with this. Is the problem that I didn't clean the phone after removing the old adhesive? And what is best for cleaning? Do you need to put weights on the screen and leave it overnight?

Thanks for any advice
Dani
