What is a digitizer?

Some reasons behind the problems

You might be unaware but there are some very common reasons behind the problems, listed below:

• A wet screen: Often we find ourselves touching or using the touch screen of our phone with wet hands in the heat of the situation. This, as simple and harmless as it may seem, is however pretty harmful for your device. The water causes random touches and causes short circuit to the below sensor layer causing ghost touches and missed touches.
• Cracked screen: Many of us does use a phone with a cracked screen ignoring the cracks that have been formed due to some accidental drop or mechanical shock of some sort. What we fail to realize is that the more we use a cracked screen, the more we push our digitizer towards its grave. The LCD is made up of liquefied crystals that may seep out very slowly from the cracks, which being harmful to human health if eaten with food, is equally harmful for the phone as well as due to less liquid, the screen starts to have less resources to produce the images and therefore creating more pressure on the screen itself. This damages the digitizer with time. Therefore, it is highly recommended to reach out to LA iPhone Repair and Unlock Center and get your phone repaired as soon as possible.

Some alternatives to the digitizer problems

​In case you end up having any such digitizer problem, first reboot the smartphone. Sometimes ghost touches and missed touches get solved with a simple reboot.

If so, then remove the screen guard and try again. Apply a compatible screen guard if the previous one doesn’t work.
