What Should I Use to Hold the new Digitizer?

[kyomagi]

So i shattered my digitizer and got a new one, what type of adhesive would be best in holding it in place?

 

[anon(28010)]

huh? digitizer?

What was the other one held with? Thin double-sided sticky-tape?

 

[kyomagi]

something like that, its like a thin clothy type. I wonder if it double sided tape will work...

 

[rpfarrah]

I would try an electronics parts store - see if you can find the same stuff.

Is it possible the new digitizer has it on there already, but you haven't peeled back the top layer?

Just a thought...

What is a digitizer?

 

[eazid]

What are we talking about here?

 

[kyomagi]

The digitizer is the glass part of the phone over the OLED that controls all the touch functions.

I actually went to my local ipod and iphone repair shop and they gave me what they use to bind the digitizer for the iphone and it works great!

All good, tho it is not flush with the bezel, but im not complaining.

Use servo tape from a hobby shop it's sticky as hell and you can thin it out with an xacto knife.
