[I9305] Seems to have a blown Digitizer topic

I openend a thread over at the main forum for the SGS3 and boomboomer mentioned that it would be better to use this forum for the problem.

How can I be sure to have the right kernel right now on the system? I mean the person who gave me the phone seems to have put a original Samsungrom on it which is stuck at the first setup screen with no mouse support.
As for germany there are 4 different versions for the stock rom. Even in Odin Mode under Current Binary and System Status there is just "Custom" stated.

A problem with the digitizer on an I-9305 topic

I got an I-9305 yesterday.
On this device the touchfunction won't work. I still can use a mouse in recovery. In the OS itself there is now mouse.

Weird network and data issue after replacing my screen and digitizer. Help! topic

I'll try to keep this post as simple and well typed out as possible...

I cracked my screen and essentially damaged the digitizer as touches couldn't be registered at all, so I ordered a newbie off Aliexpress and using the guide on iFixit, I repaired it myself. It booted perfectly and everything works fine EXCEPT for a weird issue I'm having with my cellular data and the network itself not registering properly or something.

I've a SIM card and plan with Vodafone Australia and basically the phone:

- sometimes registers 4G/LTE, but never 3G and 2G didn't seem to want to work
- can sometimes send/receive texts (at random)
- can't make or receive calls
- cellular data absolutely doesn't work at all, nothing will load. I think there was only 1 occasion where half a web page loaded, but that could have been cached
- when the network 'disappears' either I just have a blank network bar in the status bar or sometimes I also get a triangle in the status bar and in the notification pull down area it reads "NO SERVICE - selected network (Vodafone AU) unavailable"

Prior to doing the repair I was using a Telstra 4G SIM and everything worked flawlessly right out of the box. Never an issue. I'm pretty sure both providers even run on the same bands.

I have tried the following to solve the problem, to no avail:

- different ROM and kernel (stock CM11S, Temasek CM12 w/ AK kernel)
- fastboot erase modemst1 and modemst2
- different modems (44S, 05Q)
- changing settings in *#*#4636#*#* menu (LTE/GSM auto, and the rest)

All I have left to try is to go see my provider and request a new SIM.

I'm thinking maybe something happened when I disassembled the device, like I may have damaged the part of the main board where the SIM registers. Could this be the cause? Surely not,as I do get that temporary LTE registration...

Also note that I'm 99.99% sure it's an international device, not a Chinese one, as it came with CM11S and the Aliexpress seller told me so.

Any advice? HELP!!!

- I also occasionally get a warning that says "Restricted access changed - Data service is blocked" - I called Vodafone and they said there is no blocking or barring service in place on my SIM/service and that the SIM should work with any device it's in
- the device even shows details like signal strength -95 dBm and 43 asu, shows Vodafone AU as my network and even automatically loads the correct APN settings
- I tried an OPTUS Australia SIM and the same thing happened, registers network, shows signal strength, APN etc, but nothing works!

Digitizer dead spot topic

Hi folks,
I'm having some screen issues.

There is a vertical band on the right side of the screen that isn't registering any touch input. I'm currently running CM 12, but I've tried installing a stock variant and the problem persists.

This all points to a bad digitizer, but the affected part of the screen seems to work fine in recovery and on the lock screen.

I'm completely stumped. Does anyone have any advice?

[Q] Asus Padfone2 A68 docking station problem after replacing digitizer topic

Hi,
I have big problem with my padfone station after replacing digitizer. The touch is mirrored? If I'll press something on the left hand side it will open something from right hand side. I gought it from Hong Kong, so maybe this is wrong digitizer and I have to change firmware? Please help me to solve that problem.
