That is pretty dinged up. One can always buy a housing though. But the ones I have seen are pretty expensive.
Maybe somebody could get this and a housing and make a How To change housing?

yea she aint pretty but im thinking someone who needs a back up phone for testing roms and such

Wow, I thought mine was in bad shape when someone said "I didn't know those came in black..." "They don't. It's frying grease that's soaked in."

hahaha. I thought I was bad with my phone. I got pissed because I got a little scratch on the screen!
If someone does have info on changing the housing, I might be interested in picking it up. I was gonna buy it to give to my dad so he'd get off his stupid Palm Treo 680 ... but if its all banged up, I would just have to keep it to experiment with then.

Well I'm a cook at one of my jobs and I'd rather keep my wing in my pocket than in my coat or car where it could get nabbed. I guess it's the lesser of the two evils. My screen is flawless though, thank you jerito... I mean screen protectors!

I bought some screen protectors, but I hate them. It just doesnt look or feel right to me. I only have a small scratch on the screen too and that was because my brother threw his keys on it when it was laying in my car. I almost killed him

You may be able to contact this seller to see if he has any instructions.

$150 for that? I'll give you $40.
Amazon was selling them new with contract for $50 - and you can pick up a tilt for only $400...

thank you vr24 for contributing to this thread with your amazing comment
-- no blaming--- edit by papamopps

Man it look like you been chewing on that phone... Either that or trying to skin concrete with it.

yeah, its pretty beat up.

How bout I recycle that thing for you for free? How many times did it go through the wood chipper?

Just outta curiosity...
Are you at least offering up a 1GB MicroSD card with the Wing?

yea theres a 1gb microSD included

bumpskies?

'Patchy' backlight - what happen?

I've noticed recently the backlight on my HD2 seems to have suffered some sort of malfunction or something. Might be a bit of a strong way of describing it perhaps.
Basically imagine if you have a blank white screen/image showing on the phone, there's a couple of bits on it that always stay in the same place where the brightness is not the same as the rest. I'm certain it's only been like this recently but no idea why.
You can only really notice it with very pale or bits of white on the screen but am wondering:
1 - if anyone else has this,
2 - how it's happened,
3 - anything I can do about it,
In particular if it's a fault with the phone (as I'm certain the phone has never been knocked and it definitely has never been dropped or pressed hard etc), is this something I could get done under warrantee.
If it is, can I get it fixed on warrantee even with no receipt since I bought it on Ebay? Every single HD2 is still in its warrantee period so I hope they could do.
Thanks!

I have the same, they advised me to contact support, but i kinda neglected it for the time being.
I have the same kind of spot in the middle of my screen, i only really see it when the screen is white, annoying tho :/
I dont like the idea of having to send the phone out and missing it for a few weeks :'(

I had the same problem on my device so I called HTC and they picked it up, repaired it and sent it back. Well they sorted out this particular problem (by replacing the LCD panel) but, alas, created few more. The buttons were not placed properly, the body was damaged and etc. So Angry and Disappointed Me called them up and they picked it up again. This time they replaced the whole unit (the actual body if I am not mistaken) and sent it back. Finally I was glad to have my phone back after two weeks.
Funny enough most of the HTC employees that I spoke to had very poor English. And I spoke with quiet a few of them. Luckily I am talented at mimicking broken English and didn't have much problem getting my message across. I'd imagine for most people it should be very difficult to explain their problem and arrange repairs.

Thanks for the replies.
Is it possible to do this without a sales receipt and still not have to pay? I don't think I should have to pay since it's not very old at all but I can't prove it's actually my phone I guess.
Did you just contact them via the XDA website or something?

I got the same issue. Most annoying when reading long emails or articles. I thought about sending it in for repair but I have voided my warranty already and don't want to be missing my hd2 for a couple weeks and get hit with a massive bill. I think it has something to do with the layers in the LCD not being completely flat. But I havent got that far in my explorations of this phone, maybe I will on my next trip.

You should contact HTC support by calling at the number for your country that you can find from the HTC website.
They can do everything with the phone's serial no. At least that's how it worked for my Kaiser I got on ebay too when I had a prob with it.

Hmmm, good point. I have a custom rom on it so mine probably would be void too right? If I change it back to the original rom it should be ok though presumably?
Thanks anyway - glad this is not me.

I am also seeing this on my HD2. It is very faint and only really noticeable on white screens. Once you know it is there though you can't help but keep looking for it
To be honest I can put up with it as most of the time you can't actually see it, for example I can't see it now due to the keyboard being up.
I'd be interested to know if anyone in the UK sends their phone off for repair as I might do the same. I can't be without my phone though, it would be like loosing my arm!

Ah yes, so you did. Sorry I was looking at the flag on your profile not your location
I have a small crack on the glass of my HD2 as well between the bottom of the phone and the power / end call key. It looks like a small hair stuck under the button Not sure if they would replace the glass for me as well if I sent it off?
I got my phone from O2 so I'm wondering if I'd have to go to O2 for repair or direct to HTC, maybe I could do both
Anyway, for now I think I'll refrain from sending it off unless it really starts annoying me. A bit of a pain though

I've emailed HTC as well to ask about this.....

Need UR Help & Reviews. Cracked Glass Screen Repair.... am i being ripped off?

Hello everyone
this is my maiden voyage into this forum having lurked for a while since i got my HD2...
Please stick with me,
I have uncovered some grossly outrageous prices from 2 of the leading hd2 repair teams on the internet in the U.K.......
read on .....
well,
The day i decide to step foot into primark, i drop my hd2 and it drops less than a meter from my hand and catches the corners and shatters the glass screen....
after a slightly delirious 20 minutes of laughing i tried to use my phone.
unbelievably it worked absolutely fine! albeit with cracked glass and fine shards of glass sticking into my fingers....
so i immediately set about trying to find out where i could get it fixed online.
The first stop was TurnOnYourMobile.co.uk who quoted me just over £200 to have the screen replaced. They offered a "We'll beat the Price of our competitors" thing, and so i looked elsewhere .
Hence, next stop, Undercutter.co.uk...
According to the very difficult to use website, it would cost me £85! bargain i thought...
so i went back to TOYM to see if they could do a price match?
the answer was no....
oddly, it seemed that Mark at TOYM used to do the repairs for Undercutter and believed that Simon at Undercutter was confusing the Touch HD with the HD2 and that his quote was incorrect.
Back to Undercutter and when i emailed directly to Simon i was quoted £115 plus £8.50! still less than TOYM but a little bit more than undercutters own website stated! not a good sign!
So i did my own survey of prices of the HTC HD2 screen Glass Screen Digitizer.....
to find that the screen alone ranges from £23.50:gultek.eu/htc-hd2-digitizer.html
to £44.95 mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-replacement-lcd-p23948.htm
I emailed Simon at Undercutter about this!
The fact that the screens were available for Under £50 and yet he was charging nearly £70 on top of that to spend less than 20 minutes replacing the screen..... a Whopping rate of nearly £70 an hour for the repair....
Absolutely extortionate.....
after sending my findings to Simon he sent me an email back saying
"We are not going to justify our repair prices and service further, but if you would like to use our services, please let us know."
so my advice to anyone getting a screen repair is, unless you can afford the extortionate prices, see if you can get it repaired on your insurance, and if that takes too long, try and fix it yourself.....
After my findings, I am tempted to buy a screen and repair it myself.....
But i need your advice.... Is the anyone out there who can fix my phone for a lot cheaper and at a resonable rate???
and If i am to repair it myself, Any tips or instructions on hopw to do it???
Many MAny thanks to you
and thank you for reading.
Darren

i think its ok for ppl to ask that much money for it from what i have seen its verry difficult to do.
you have to think for yourself. if you do it yourself and you destroy your phone. what will it cost you? is that risk really worth saving a relative small amount of money?
in my opinion its not.

Hello
I had my screen replaced by HTC in the UK and they charged me £79 +VAT so I would say your being well ripped off mate.

Marshall1975, who did you get yours fixed by? and did they replace it with the glass screen as opposed to a platic alternative i've been hearing about? and was it just the glass that was replaced or the LCD digitizer too?
I have a feeling it's just my glass that needs replacing not the bit underneath it.
jamieeeee, I don't think it's reasonable for people to make that much money out of customers at all, just my view but to make such a big profit out of one customer is shocking.
The reason i've posted my findings is to highlight the nature of people preying on a niche market such as us. HD2 is still fairly uncommon and these companies are making a killing bacause we are a niche market... i think it's dispicable...
Marshall, I haven't got mine fixed yet;. i'm doing my research good and proper first before i go for it....
Thank you so much
Darren

that is just the plastic digitizer that reads your finger, not the glass.
also, the second link is for the lcd screen not necessarily the glass. (I think im correct in saying it is a three piecesetup, lcd - glass -digitize ((or lcd digitizer glass))

Thanks for the Info SamSamuel...
so can i assume then, that as it's just the glass that is broken that , that is all i need to replace?
My phone still works brilliantly and no touch problems at all other than tiny bits of glass...
does anyone know How crucial it is after a drop to replace the whole lot? as SamSamuel suggested, the 3 parts that make up the screen?
Simon from UnderCutter didn't appear to say that the screens i listed were incorrect? who knows. Does anyone here have more detailed information to what is on there on the market.
Surely these screens must be Official as they are HTC branded?
below another os Simons gems in repsonse to my findings of screens at a lower price.....
If you have the skills to replace the screen yourself then please have a go at buying and fitting. Some cheaper parts don’t work or last very long, so there are cheaper ones out there but don’t hold your breath for a great product.

Also Just wondered if anyone knew of the whereabouts of the video tutorial on how to replace the screen???
and £79 wow, i can't beat that, Where did you get it done Marshall?

the videos are here
but its verry hard to seperate those 2 things..

hmmmm taking the whole of the screen looks fairly simple in the video! but i'm sure there has to be more to it because of all the separate components that make up the screen....
still wiatin got hear from Marshall1975 to see where he got his done.....

Have you contacted your network to see how much they can do the repair for?

I believe he stated in his post it was directly with HTC in the UK.

Why not plump for HTC. Save the hassle of DIY and its cheaper than the other quotes you have?
When its all fixed, work out how much insurance would cost per year balanced against dropping it, smashing it and repeating the whole process again......

Aha
must've not seen that through my cracked screen!
I have contacted HTC to eagerly await their response which i will post here!

You might be better off finding the ribbon cable. Check ebay.
If you replace the screen you'll need a digitizer too for the touch.

He should be able to separate the two, that would save some money. Just re-use the digitizer with the new screen.

Did you check Ebay or Craigs list to see if anyone is selling a broken Slide? Maybe you can but one cheap for parts.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

There were a few sites that I found a few weeks back that had stock parts for almost every phone. I'll see what I can dig up and I'll update this post when I find something.

thanks guys, i did check ebay.. i have been checking since i broke mine and broken slides go up to $120 on ebay at the end of the auction... thats just too much
If you find a web page selling the lcd you will be my hero...

lucky you... im stuck with this since i bought it on ebay about a month ago

hey guys, well.. look like i found a webpage selling the ribbon (kinda)...
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/MyTouch-3G-Slide-Motherboard-Flex-Cable-p/htc739520.htm
its worth $60 but they are out of stock and you have to get at least 2 when you order!!
just my luck... ill keep searching around to see if something else comes up...

I have found nothing, im almost giving up on it

yeeeah
so finally i found a broken screen slide for $69 dollars and im getting if by dec 16th right on time to put some official froyo on it (hopefully) im happy i love the slide and i think is a good device, im not that impressed with the g2 or any 1ghz phone out there... im gonna wait for a real dual core powerhouse to come out or maybe ill give wp7 a try if it promises something good next year. if any moderator sees this thread, please close it

Crashed screen

Welcome,
Some time ago, glass on my screen crashed during drop phone on the street, touch panel still works, but anyway it does not look preety good, now my question is how much is the cost of new screen, and it is possible to replace it by myself?

It costs around 50$ depending on where you get it.I suggest you look for a seller in aliexpress with many diamonds or crowns or whatever. And here is a video on how to replace it. If you got 2 left hands and sausage fingers don`t try to do it yourself

Thanks mate for this reply, as i see it looks pretty simple to do, but when ill buy it i will also get some tools with it? I really dont want to do it by myself, but here in Poland we dont have even one Gionee service, and "other" services dont want to replace it, becouse they dont have parts and dont know "technology" of this device, well just a bit wierd, anyway i just have to do it by myself.
Thanks

No idea if it comes with the tools havent bought one myself i was just checking the prices as i broke mine too.

Okey, but if you can wrote with what tools did u removed old screen, and did you done it by yourself?
