Replacement Screen

Hi guys, I cracked my screen today, I was wondering which one will save me more money? ordering a new screen and fitting it my self or going down to a phone shop and get it done?
Where is the cheapest place to get a replacement screen from (in the uk)
Thanks.

I think it was user ygeller that reported he could only find two places in UK that would replace screen at £150. In which case cheaper/but possibly riskier to do it yourself.

Great, so my phone is basically a door stop untill i can get it fixed, im sure not going to try and get HTC to fix it 150 is crazy, i think i will buy a screen somewhere and do it my self, after all i did manage to mod my xbox 360 up with neon lights
Any direct links to good sites that sells screens as a low price?
Cheers.

Took it to carphonewarehouse, they charged me £40 for replacment, they said if it cost more then they would pay the difference on top of the 40, good deal eh?

40 is a pretty good deal! My digitizer was going out so I bought a new one, anyone know how hard it is to replace? I already took the phone apart and the screen is off. How do I take the digitizer off?

Very simply put it converts the screen taps from the screen into an electrical signal equivalent to a "grid reference" signal based on xy axes.

Be careful with the previous reply web link. I had a virus warning popup when I clicked on it. Don't let it happen to you.

Not that it helps you guys in the UK, but I got a screen/digitizer from a seller on eBay in the US for 89 USD.
My digitizer is cracked, but the LCD is fine it's a pain to use in this condition but it gets me by.
I will try to do the screen swap tommorow.

Just got done with the replacement. Wasn't that bad at all. I would've been done in about 20 minutes, but I had a dreaded white screen with no display that freaked me out. Then I remembered a connector not seeming to fit correctly.
Disassembled and reassembled and I am back in business.
For future reference, the bottom connector in this picture:
You need to make sure sits correctly.
Here is the auction for the screen I got from a seller in California.

If anyone gets one of these, could they please review it? I really like how small the Tilt is and i'm curious to find out if using one of these cases makes it feel bulky or if it's still small enough to fit comfortably in jeans front pocket...
Thanks...

i think you can't open the keyboard with those case à 5$.

Agreed, I can't find any pictures of it actually on the phone above a very small resolution. So some nice digicam shots would work great. Anyone?

That's an outrageous price though. You can get these same cases on Ebay for $10/shipped in all colors. They're called the 2in1 case.

I just called them to confirm and they told me it does open properly with the case on. And paying 24.99 for a crystal case is rediculous.

I've seen those. What I'm more referring to is comparing it with and without the case. Same picture, two phones (or photoshopped together). Just to give a bit of scale to it

I just got mine the other day from eBay, and the front face doesn't fit all the way on or stay on. I'm going to have to return it and find another one.

I've finally tested this case for more than 10 minutes and I really hate the fact that the edges are not beveled in, making it extremely hard to use my fingers to press the softkeys on the screen, onscreen scrolling and some slight awkwardness when pressing the outside buttons.
Mine was also made of white plastic, so it has this ugly white lip around the edges.
After removing my BodyGuardz skin, the case fits snugly and is very hard to remove (I accidentally cracked the lower piece while removing)
Oh well, you get what you pay for. Time to read up on Seidio cases

http://www.wirelessaccessories.com/... 8925 - TyTN II - Kaiser&sfid=134039&c=164107
I've used these for my last 2 devices. I don't recommend the rubberized as they scrape up easy. While you get what you pay for ($5.95 + ship) so I buy several. I prefer the protection from scratches and ease of use . It does make getting to buttons a little harder, I agree.

I went on Ebay and got a clear one for around $4 shipped. looks decent, works, only thing about the clear ones is that dust tends to collect under them and phone looks dirtier. a quick clean and back to new. i dont recomend dropping the phone using the case, but in all honesty i dont recommend droping the phone all together.

nawh man, i use the great value extra version of those, its 10 cents cheaper.

that must be some sd card he has there considering I can pick up a brand new G1 for less than 100 from t-mobile directly with contract or pick up a used no contract G1 from craigslist for about 75

Would you accept my dogs virginity and a small gerbil, fully loaded (no teeth or claws).

You know you still have like 1 1/2 weeks to contact HTC for warranty since the phone is still under a year. I think it was released Oct. 20th.

will they repair it even though i was trying to modify it?
and i do like the convenience of not having to root it so my offer still stands

How much for that fart sealed in the jar? The inlaws are coming for the holidays I need an ideal gift from the family. Does it come with a certificate of authenticity?

Hopu ec720

Hello guys,
Update to android 4.4, i want your opinion about this model:
Hopu ec720
It is sell with earphones (micro usb connection) so we can hope fm radio.
For me one default: no micro sd slot
But, if GPS work fine, it can be a good smart watchphone partner for sport.
I find the best price here : http://www.aliexpress.com/item/EC720-smart-watch-Newest-Waterproof-smart-android-wear-smartwatch-work-with-mobile-phone-Laptop-Tablet-PC/32319308815.html

and 2 videos:

Looks good on paper, lots of sensors, not too big either. 600mAh battery is plus.

Interesting watch!!
This looks very interesting as it appears it can act in companion mode paired to a smartphone aswell. Could be just what I'm looking for but no videos anywhere to show it in action which would be helpful. Really like the look of it. Like the blue personally.......:laugh:

So i must buy one and test it...

it looks great and convenient for communication
but it has limited function
nowadays, there are numerous smartwatches designed for not only communication but also health living in the electronics market
they are more popular

Today factory send me a picture about GPS test:
Seems that GPS is working fine.

I asked factory for the FM radio function, they assure me that it works with the inclued micro usb earphones.
I place my order today for a good price (112USD inclued standard shipping).
Let wait 3 weeks and i will do a complet video review

Good price

EC309 watch
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446530
The EC720 looks like the successor to the EC309, which had some issues (like all of the watches), you can see the similarities.
Maybe the EC309 thread might have some useful info? It's was realised two years ago.
Need to be careful it's not the same watch, re-branded... as far as I can tell it's not.

Mystery gift is a lousy water bottle

I had hoped that they would have sent those of us who ordered before the pop up box came up would have gotten the same gift, but boy was I wrong. A lousy water bottle included with the supposed $99 discount.
Had I known, I would have cancelled and reordered.
Anyone get a better mystery gift?

That's some BS. Just one more thing I gotta throw or give away. Mine is supposed to be arriving tomorrow. I'll let you know what my mystery gift is.
Honestly, I was hoping it would be earbuds or something like that.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs

IM said it could be earbuds or a bottle. But apparently, the bottle is worth $99. ?
Trying to upload a screenshot of the conversation where he said it was actually with $99. I told him it better have gold in it.
I asked him to escalate, as he said they'll contact me soon.
OP makes a good phone, but it's always their weird business crap like this I find irritating.

agreed, the water bottle is a slap in the face. i hope we all make our voices heard and maybe they do something.

Right? Well since I also received the $99 water bottle I had to go to a T-Mobile store where I could buy a decent case for $42 dollars. Sigh.

Sadly my experience was the same, got the same stupid tiny water bottle/thermos, I was hoping for another charger like they used to do (or at least something more useful). I also had to buy a case from T-Mobile since my nicer case is coming from China and could be here anywhere in the next 3 mo (sadly I'm not exaggerating shipping time).

I also received a really shiny metal water bottle. It's too small to be of much use and was I was pretty disappointed when I realized that's all the "surprise gift" was....

Pic of the water bottle please
Someone please upload the pic of the $99 goddamn water bottle....

Here's a link to the OP forum where people are pissed. I love what this guy did with the pic. ?

Are you serious? I haven't opened mines yet.

Yes, of course just charger and cable. And misery box a bottle.

I'm really disappointed about the bottle too. I was hoping for at least a case and maybe earbuds but damn this really was a slap in the face. Unlike someone else that posted, I couldn't even find a case at my local T-Mobile store (or others within 15 miles of me). The cases on amazon seem like garbage right now as well.
Only good side is that shipping was fast... I got my phone before a lot of T-Mobile stores even had time to put up a demo unit according to one store I went to.

Graphically it is better
