Just take it to the service centre&they will replace the screen for u
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
i agree, time to service it! hehe
Even wearing that case it has suffered that bad? It seems that most cases protect only against scratches, unless you have one of those extremely bulky. It makes me wonder why to use a case at all if in the end the damage will be the same. Or would it be even worse without the case? Well, who knows...

Well, there is a tutorial on these forums explaining how you can do it yourself. You'll need courage though :| take a look, it does even include a video and eBay link for buying the necessary parts.

What's the story?
Sent From My HTC Evo Using Tapatalk Pro!
a pictures worth a thousand words .
phone fell off seat in movie theater, like 2 feet from ground..
was it naked?
I cried a little inside when I saw this picture..
without a case ? ya
sorry.
I hate how badly HTC tempers some of their phones [screen that is]
I remember when I got my first TP2, broke screen on first drop... I had a replacement,... That I still have... I treat it like trash! And lemme tell you this thing is sturdy. My Evo... Has been abused, dropped, fell straight on the curb of the sidewalk (right onto the raised part and onto the floor). Only visible thing is a tiny dot of glass that chipped off the lower bottom right.. This one is sturdy as hell too...
this was my first time dropping the phone, I only had it for about two weeks.
The screen is like scratch proof but not shatter proof, it should be the other way around at least (hopefully both). I tried using my keys to scratch out a hole in the glass so i could take it out and see if i could get a replacement glass but the keys wouldnt even scratch as hard as i tried
i died a little inside when i saw that picture. if that happened to my phone...i would probably cry
Dang that really sux. I was so scared when I dropped my Evo at work from a height of 30 ft and lucky for me I just had sum dirt in the kick stand but that was the day I added insurance on my bill. I'm sure if u have insurance they will give u a new screen as there was a time with my instinct I broke the screen 3 times in a month and Sprint fixed it no questions asked

@ the PIC why put a 500$ phone on a sent and EVEN take the chance of it falling ?
That sucks man . Well if you don't have insurance, they sell replacement touch screen digitizers on eBay. Not sure how easy it is to replace.
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Sprint-Evo-...862017?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4152abc101
I have no affiliation to that seller, just looked up the cheapest one that wasn't out of the country.
Looks like some guys just put up a repair video too and it doesn't look too difficult, but I'd be scared to do it myself lol.
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-evo-4g-glass-touch-screen-digtizer-lcd-repair-guide.html
Most sprint repair stores are stocking glass/screen replacements. Just go down there and get it fixed, generally they can do them in 15-20 minutes
actually im within the first 30 days, so im taking the phone back to a store and swapping it for a brand new one. which seems like a great deal to me.
if you are rooted you will probably have to unroot... but you already knew that
I just flashed back to the stock rom i found in the evo wiki, that should be good correct ?

You should be good with that. In my experience I've had no trouble taking rooted devices in to them. I always make sure at the very least it appears stock when they power it up.
I called them and they are the ones that suggested i just return it and get a new one since it's within thirty days. I called the store too, not sprint (sometimes they like to contradict each other).
Got this thing in at work today. It was an AT&T version. Scavenged the speaker for a coworker and LED board for a spare. but holy hell, this thing had a rough life. looks like it was roughly taken apart before I got to it. Makes me kind it sad. :-(

How did you get it?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
the people that butcher these things can suck it imo.
imo we should have pulled the display just for S's&G's...
Is that huge piece of copper part of the flex circuit, or just a heat spreader under the battery?
Are you selling any parts? If that AMOLED/Digitizer is still apart (never been replaced/pulled apart) im willing to buy it.
I replaced mine, and the screen keeps getting dust under it. Once the digitizer is replaced, it's hard to keep dust from getting under it.
Both myself and crusher work for a used electronics reseller... its already on ebay... its broken though so you might be able to get it for cheap. The bids start @ $1
And no the diaplay/digitizer havent been separated.

Hi guys and girls.
I'm familiar with the crack with the sensor. I have it too...
But know I have something what I didn't hear or read before. My right down corner is melted. (I'm now on vacation in Berlin but when I'm home I'll will post some pics).
Does somebody else have that too? I HAD my phone in a case from noreva. But I truly can't believe that my phone can get that hot that its melting...
And who is to blame? Sony or noreva?
I'd say it was the case.
Have fun in Berlin and post some pics when you're back

i only use the leather pouch since the i bought my arc last june, and so far i don't see any peeling on the chrome and paint.
all i see is the "famous" crack near the light sensor
ps. it never gets hot at the buttom area, only on upper area. i think thats where the processor, memory, vga, and other stuffs that gets hot when running heavy duty apps/games
Hi guys me again. I'm back from my quick vacation. I'm glad that i'm not the only person who had this. Its indeed strange because I can't remember when its getting hot in that place. WHEN my phone is getting hot, it is normally around the camera.
Here are some pics together. It wasn't easy to make a close up.
As you can see in the bottom right pic. My case is open in that corner even when the case is closed like on the picture.

Damn, that looks ugly.
But I'd say the case is the reason

Hiya guys I've had the most interesting thing happen to my .sg3 yesterday. The only way to explain it is as a spontaneous screen crack! My phone just cracked by itself!! Yes without a lie! It's the most microsceptic crack I've seen and after a few minutes looking at it i decided to measure the location and it's exactly in the middle of the panel! No one believes me and people think I'm stupid. i was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I've done some research and have found that other Samsung phones have done this but there isn't allot of info about it.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
probably because of the curved glass. Curved things tend to bend when they reach certain point. the gorilla glass 2 being thinner than its predecessor should crack easier especially when bent. Send it back to Samsung, the crack seems natural and is a Samsung fault rather
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I believe you. My friends AMOLED screen crached but the glass was perfectly fine on his Droid RAZR. It was extremely weird and did not make any bit of sense.
Well see the thing is i didn't even move from my desk at work when this happened! It's so so strange. What would be the best way of contacting Samsung about this , because atm I've talked to official Samsung repair people and they all say I'm crazy and 3 just told me I'm a liar and that i broke it on purpose.

With many (if not most) cases, when the phone is face down the screen is raised from the surface. So if your phone falls face first, the screen won't make contact with the surface. Obviously if the surface is very jagged then the display may hit it. The case (particularly dual layer varieties) also adds a little bit of shock protection that will help decrease the chance of shattering the screen from blunt force to other parts of the phone.
I'm about to go into this thread and tell you to try flashing stock rom....
This thread made me remember an article I read awhile ago...

today I sent it to repairs, they couldn't give me any estimate of price, but when I hear from them I will report back with that info and when they repair it if possible I will also report final cost.
Only thing they estimated was that it is going to take about 2 weeks!
My One is she because well it's my One but not only and it also seems to break up easily..
It had this kind of case, but did not help when dropped face down since there was some small rocks.
