cracked screen

Today I broke my HD2 screen
Anyone knows if are outside guides to change the screen like hd2 official service guides and any shop that sell "cheap" (compared to official service) hd2 screens?
thanks for all

Sorry for your broken HD2...
May I ask, how did you manage to break it? I'm asking because it might give us a sense on how fragile these things are.

Sorry for your HD2.
Anyway, how you broke it?

WOW!How did you did that?
Sorry for your screen!
Maybe this could help --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405566

I use the phone as an alarm clock.
When sounded, I took it to shut it down and I dropped into bed. When going to pick it up accidentally leaned on the screen by making some pressure and I broke it

Damn! I'm sure it shouldn't be too hard to replace, but if you don't think you can do it yourself better get someone else to do it! It will end up being cheaper than having to replace the whole phone

Hmmm . . .

With most phones the screen is separate from the main board and chipsets etc. As far as I am aware usually the screen will be screwed in but not embedded into it. Though I could be wrong!!..... Just hoping to give some optimism

The screen is replaceable. You're not so lucky, man
Well, seeing this image actually hurts directly to my heart!
Anyway, search on eBay, but I don't think that there is any replacement part as the phone is completely new.

I did the same just now, except it's not the actual glass that's broken but it looks like the screen underneath. That however is completely shot, again, anybody know if it's possible to replace this?

And for those interested, pictures.
Result after dropping from about chest hight on the ground.

Repost, sorry

Mine's back with the service repair centre in the UK for a cracked screen and have just had my quote for repair £118.
No one else seems to have the spares.
The screen itself and surround was quoted at £78 labour £22, and the rest is for delivery.
The service centre isn't the quickest it's taken them a week from receiving the phone to give me a quote and then it's 5 days after you pay for them to fix the phone and test the software.
Luckily the insurance is paying

i can't believe!!!!!
i cracked my screen too!!
it falls down from 50 centimeters and the glass cracked in 1000 pieces!! i'll post the picture soon.
tomorrow i'm going to call the italian call center ..

Ouch!
Got my HD2 yesterday, now it has a hairline crack in the screen about 1cm long - don't know how - it's only been in a jacket pocket and car cradle.
Screen too weak?
Edit: O2 shop said it's a scratch not a crack - so much for scratch resistant glass.

G1 with broken screen (under warranty)

I just bought a G1 with a broken screen on ebay to swap the mobo with my brick. The broken phone looks great except for that crack, so I decided to see if the warranty was still good. It is still under warranty for another 1.5 weeks!
So the idea is this. HTC will not repair broken screens..
But what if I intentionally brick the broken screen device and send it in for repair claiming OTA error? Will they throw in a fixed screen while they are replacing the mobo? Is it worth trying?? I'm thinking I could then just sell my brick or wait to sell it when they are un-brickable, to recoup the cost of one of the Dreams.

Anyone have experience here with HTC's warranty?

I have used HTC for warranty work and they were top-notch. However, I doubt they would cover it (the brick) as the damage was more than likely caused by impact, and impact damage is not covered.
Why didnt you send the bricked G1 in? It should be covered (assuming your not at the end of its warranty)

Sadly, the warranty ended about a week before I bricked it. It ended on 12.25.
Merry Christmas to me!

You have two broken phones and nothing to lose. Why don't you try dissasembling both and transplanting the top/screen assembly from the brick to the eBay purchase?

Actually they do fix bricks, I accidently bricked mine said "that it was doing an update and I left it overnight and in the morning it had the g1 logo only" and they replaced the mobo without more questions.
However they didn't replace the slightly damaged case so you might just be wasting your time.. worth a shot though.
I bricked it by flashing danger spl and radio wrong silly me

I'm aware that they fix bricks, but the bricked G1 is unfortunately the one with no warranty.
Transplanting the screen sounds like it would void the warranty because I would have to break the seal on both phones. Otherwise this would be ideal, because I could fix the screen and not worry about the hidden charge HTC would apply for a mandatory screen replacement.
Right now I've run into yet another set-back. I'm not a T-Mo customer and the phone is not unlocked. (I've never had a locked phone so I forgot they even existed when I picked up this one for repair )
If any nice T-Mo customer reads this, can you get me an unlock code from T-Mo if I provide my IMEI in a PM?

To get an unlock code you would need to pay £15 to t-mob.
There are services online though.

You can swap parts to your hearts desire, just make sure you do it cleanly. The one I sent back was a black case with guts from a bronze one and I was never even questioned about it. Just make sure they know you bought it from Craigslsit or eBay as-is.

It sounds like you are not in the US so it may be different for you but on my phone the Home button stopped working. I returned it to the original OS and then sent it in for repair. They stated that when I send it in for repair that if the phone had a broken screen or water damage that I would be charged a fee for the repair. I don't recall was it was because I wasn't charged this as my screen was fine and didn't have a water issue. I seem to think that the fee was $50-100 something like that. I didn't think it was that bad. As far as my issue. I have no idea if I got my phone back or a refurb.

I'm in the US and I was told that T-Mo has to tell the unlock code to anyone that has service with them as long as the IMEI is provided. Hopefully I can make friends with someone on T-Mo service.
The warranty seemed like a long shot so I swapped the guts of the working machine and the nonworking one. Now I have a cracked (but working!) screened brick and a locked non-cracked phone. The new screen price according to an HTC rep was about 230 I believe, which is a whole other annoyance. As soon as I get this new bad boy unlocked I'm going to re-root.
Sadly, until then I can only use it on the wi-fi I was able to setup thanks to adb.

Broken LEO Screen

I think i broked my display today. It is all just purple and gray lines when display is turned on and few one looking like cracks. When i turn off the display i do not see anything like that. I wonder is it physical or there is some hope left?

sounds like you broke the actual lcd display, and not the glass front.
All the usual suggestions, try a hard reset then different rom of course, just in case it is software, but it doesnt sound good.
Broke my glass (not the lcd, phew) saturday night just gone gutted. Theyre only £35 or so, tho, so i think im gonna have a go at changing it myself. I think the lcd's are about the same but its kinda hard to tell which is which on ebay.i

How much is new lcd? I am asumming they will rip me off if i send it in official htc service?

couldnt say. i tried speaking to O2 about a paid repair, they just spieled teh usual guff, no info. not contacted htc directly yet.
As for price, its hard to tell, do a search on ebay, and i found lcd for 30 something, and glass/digitizer for 30 something, but i also saw lcd for 120 or so, so maybe teh one i saw was the worng item, heh, who knows. Not had a proper indepth look yet, though.

I will try to contact my official service in Croatia so I will tell the price or i will try with ebay.

my hd2 looks so sad with selotape protecting the cracks. ;(

I had to get a dropped HD2 repaired the other day..
was charged $368 to replace the cracked glass by the Australian authorized HTC repairer , phone was still functioning.

LCD complete with the digitizer (touchscreen) glass is about $250 itself. It is almost impossible to change the LCD separately from "digitizer" even in service lab.
JFYI, cnn.cn/shop/htc-hd2-c-277_948.html here it is.

That is too expansive. I dont really now right now what to do ,should i repair it or not

They said at my offical service(in Croatia) that it is something about 240 $ . They said that you cant buy lcd without touchscreen (probably digitizer? )..

Will this work?
http://cgi.ebay.com/US-LCD-DISPLAY-...872974?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf0f17ece

that's the one,(unless you have a tmous)
well, it should be, insert usual "its not my fault if its wrong" get out clause here.

Ok. And what about digitezer (or what ever it is called) thing ? Dont I need that too?

for that price you can buy a new hd2...lol

didnt you say touch still works? and screen isnt cracked? so no, BUT, the digi/screen and teh lcd are bonded together, and you gotta bake them for 10 mins at 50 deg to seperate them, , and so how do we bond them back together,,, heh. in which case a whole lcd/digi/glass would be best, but i bet theyre expensive. (Thats how theyd do it at htc repairs, just swap out teh whole thing as a single item)

I would look for a used hd2 to buy. Might be cheaper.

waiting for an apple fan boy to come along and say "htc sux and apple is the best ever" LOL
ive seen videos of people repairing their own cracked screens. Personally I would NOT do it for myself. I would rather get a new HD2 or an entirely different phone. Thats why i keep my previous phone(s) as backups in case of such event!

[Urgent Help Needed] [Q] Note 3 a long bright line is being shown on the display

Hello
Recently i bought the Samsung note 3 Model no N9005 from dubai. But the other night before going to sleep i put my phone under my pilow and while i got up in the morning i saw that my phone was very hot and the battery level was to 17%( it was 98 % before i slept) and this bright line was on the screen from top to bottom. I attached a picture of it here.
I sent the phone to the samsung customer care but they told rather i dropped the phone on ground or i put pressure on the screen.They are asking freaking $250 to replace the LCD.
My question is that the glass that covers the screen is gorilla glass 3. How could little pressure of pilow can crack it ?
What should i do now? They are saying this bright line will eventually get dark black and cover the whole screen.
Should i change now or wait till the line gets dark then repair it?
Suggestions please.

They are saying that i have dropped the set or i gave excessive pressure thats why the LCD broke. What should i say to the Customer service?
They are also saying they tested my phone with a machine that says this set has been dropped.Is that really possible for a machine to tell?

yeah it s possible to discover
if the screen was faulty from factory so thr s no evidences of pressure and etc on another elements of phone (behind screen)
but if this issue caused because of pressure by user (you) the pressure can effects another elements.
if u r sure this is faulty from factory u must ask them for result of their machine and something like that to help u to prove u r right.

They already tested with their machine but i didn't get the result.Should i ask for it?
They warned that this line may increase and damage the whole screen gradually,is that true?
they asked $250 for replacing the original LCD, should i change it or wait to turn that line black?
What can i do to prevent from this type of accident? Get steel back cover?
A lot of questions. Can't express how much pleased i will be if u kindly tell me what to do.

Received phone back after screen fix - and it looks like this!!!

I received my phone back from eGlobal after waiting two months for the screen to be fixed (had to go back to China).
Upon unpacking it, I immediately noticed the uneven oled. It's very hard to photograph, but there is a rectangular bulge and generally looks very uneven. Compared to my wife's s7e and it's totally smooth.
Do you think they used a non-samsung screen replacement (if this exists) or is it just a shabby install job?
Apart from some flickering when switching it on (for about a minute), I haven't noticed any issues. The unevenness is only visible from certain angles. However, the resell value has taken a hit, and I'm afraid it won't last if the screen is some cheap no-brand.
What's your take on it?

Sorry what? I'd get it repaired again. This is one reason why I never buy overseas units, just in case the repairs take long

Wow doesn't seem like an "official" repair to me. I doubt Samsung would approve that.
When I got my Galaxy S3 screen repaired back in the days, it came back perfect (except for the few scratches the plastic back cover already had). No fingerprints or dirt. The screen looked as good as what you would get with a brand new, out of the box, phone

I wouldn't accept the repair. Should be as it was new or near enough. But the flickering you mention sounds like a big no no. At least make a complaint. Don't feel you need to put up with shoddy work. Hard to see from your pictures though.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app

Yes, that's another thing - it was covered in fingerprints and dirty marks, and the boxed is completely scratched.
Total amateurs.
I complained about it, so let's see if they respond. I assume not.

As predicted I am now being ignored by eGlobal
Here is a better picture of the lumpy screen:

That's why is better to have damage cover and phone replaced in case of accident than screen replaced by some dodgy company. In newest phones is very difficult to have screen replaced properly. I wouldn't accept this repair at all. Ask for refund, or re repair.

Shabby job

I didn't pay anything as it's less than 6 months so still under warranty.
However, lots of hassle sending back to retailer in China only to be told a month later that it's a manufacturer fault and that they will need to send it to the manufacturer.
I doubt they did that - an official Samsung repair centre anywhere in the world would not "fix" the phone to such a low standard.
Screen was dead, so I assume they replaced the oled display. How they can do it so badly is beyond me.
On top of being cosmetically ugly now, it is lagging like crazy. Every 20 seconds there is a 3 second delay regardless what you are doing. Even after I factory reset it. Disaster.
I'm now looking at being without my phone for another two months - if they take it back at all. So far no luck getting a response.

I had a defected S7E but it was like a week old, didn't agree with fixing it asked for exchanged right on the spot, after a month got Samsung approval for an exchange or money return. As i understand you can do this all 2 year of warranty. Even if the shop if Samsung approved I would never trust it's water resistance.

they probably replace the lcd , and use back your same glass , no samsung standard is not like that , because they will replace the whole screen set for you , much easier and fuss free

That's nasty. Get the guy to redo it.

Your phone has been repaird (terrebly wrong) by just replacing the glass and then glued again to the lcd. Or they replaced your screen with a refurb.
