I might be wrong..
but maybe he/she dropped it a few times which would have agitated the screen. Then maybe with the heat that builds up when charging, might have cracked the screen. Just a wierd theory. Let us know how it goes with htc.

I've been on this forum for about 3 weeks to a month now and i've seen your problem at least 2 other times now. Honesty pays off in this situation. They will ask for your IMEI number (i believe thats whats its called) and they will know that your not the originaly buyer of the phone.

If you're not the original purchaser then you do not have a warranty.

They will fix it but it will cost money. I highly doubt they will do it for free because your not the original buyer. You won't know until you call and remember to be honest.
There are many reports of this happening, So don't feel too bad. However I've read that the warranty only applies to the original owner, and view may ask for proof of purchase. Sorry dude.

it's not that short fixed.
maybe it's a good idea to sell the nexus before it happens to YOU... HTC seem to have some dodgy manufacturing with all these reoccuring problems of the screen.
guess what htc is giving me a new one.......
for free

On the website it is no longer there. So what i want to know is are they completely done with the phone? Cuz when I had a KRZR and broke it, my protection plan allowed me a new one, but they discontinued it and gave me a new Razor. So i was hoping i can "break" my current touch and maybe get a diamond cuz they aren't selling vogues anymore. Anyone know?
Considering the differences in the Razr and Krzr, compared to the Touch and Diamond, they could also give you something else, like a Mogul.
Ooooooooops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you need one... I can sell you mine.
it has the official sprint WM6.1 REV A rom on it.
its used for a month. literally and comes with extra battery and I have a collection of over half a gig of software (thanks to xda-developers and all the folks involved with the software development) that I'll include.
Im located in MD.
thanks

ur selling a diamond?
:/ my phone's power button recently got really squishy, think i should go send it in for a new one? i got it in may so i think it is still in warranty plus i got insurance on it i believe, isnt all i need to do if i send it in is reflash it to stock and lock it before i do?

I think we all 'get it,' but the chances are that you will NOT receive a diamond in exchange for your touch. As was pointed out, the insurance companies most likely have thousands of refurbished vogues and you would most likely get one of these and not a diamond.

ok, i have understood that since i made that post a week ago. why are people continuing with the post?
even if they dont sell the phone, they still have reconditioned ones in a depot, i have seen people come in with CDM 120's and they send the same model, esp on the phone like the touch, they send all the old phones back and refurb it most of the time its just and LCD or reflashing the phone
so as long as its economical for them to refurbish the phone they will
I was wondering since these phones are like ancient and I have the insurance thing for it too... if there's a hardware issue or it just happens to brake/get stolen... would they send me another wing?
No. Plain and simple no. They have TONS of them still in stock believe me.
Lol awwwwww really?? Nooo!! Haha alright thanks man .
If you "break" your wing....

NO, actually they don't have any Wings. With insurance it's still $140.00. Cracked my screen and just got off the phone with them.
I'll be repairing mine, $20-40 for LCD/Digitizer. $2.00 for tools.
Shop around, seen prices as high as $120.00. They have to be kidding.
I'd have to agree, that no would be the answer.. if this was the case, I'd break my Wing right now, lol.

I think he means he just doesn't remember anything that could have caused this damage. other people have posted that their screen broke in their bag/pocket seemingly for no reason. I was concerned about this so I googled it and it turns out it happens to other phones too, but rarely. apparently pressure on the screen can do it. unfortunately warranties don't cover it.
or maybe he really was wasted and doesn't remember falling down those stars....

I'm pretty sure parts will become available soon, in the mean time you could buy a G1 from ebay to use short term and then sell it on when you find a screen.

There's no guarantee that you will get the good chip(Ol Sammy) instead of bad one(Ukn company lol), it's just 50/50 if you ask me .But Im not saying that you "will" get one with the bad chip, but I know others who "recently" got theirs and it has the bad chip and their exchange device followed suit. Im curious if the colour you buy is related or screen type.
