lol tmobile insurance is a joke. but i'm making him pay $200 to cancel one of my spare lines so i can give my GF one of the G2's that im selling. im hoping it doesn't come to that because i really don't want to do that. my guess is that i just need to replace the LCD. anyone care to chime in?

The impact could have damaged several internals. Without opening it up, you don't really know what you have to work with.

RE
i had a similar problem with my phone ... my screen went white with random black lines on it ... i might have sat with the phone in my pocket earlier not too sure ... anyways so the screen wouldn't show anything but the phone worked otherwise, i can hear it receiving notifications, and i can even receive phone calls and answer them if I slide my finger across the screen ... the phone was rooted, and i wasn't able to do a hard reset on it ...
took the phone back to bell on the 3rd, and last monday i heard back from them saying that the LCD was cracked and needed replacement ... which is not covered under the waranty since it's a physical damage and it would cost $150 CND to replace it ... should be getting the phone back this monday...

After replacing my Desire Z via FutureShop warranty (for battery issues) I somehow ended up with the lines on my screen Christmas eve, however the LCD was not cracked. The lines would move around and change in brightness as I did things on the phone (opening apps, flipping keyboard out, etc). If the lines don't move then it's more likely a crack in the screen. My issue was more likely a faulty ribbon/connection. I carry my phone in an inner breast pocket on my winter jacket, so I definitely didn't crush it or anything, either.
So back to FutureShop I went, only a week after the first replacement, and they gave me another new one right away. Between 2 stores that I have visited my 2 replacements are supposedly the only 2 replacements that have been done since the phone launched.
My 3rd one seems to be doing well, no battery issues, so far no screen issues.
I guess my point is, if you can get a phone from a retailer that offers a decent warranty, do it. I bought my phone outright at $500, the warranty was $10 a month.. I fell for it, but I'm very very glad that I did. Although HTC may have covered me, I would have been without the phone for a lot of time, and once they found out that I'd unlocked it they probably would have left me in the cold.

I had exactly the same, it is very very likely that "only" the LCD that is broken.
I got an replacement from from ebay (it's about 60 USD) and replaced it following IntuitiveNipples teardown guide at http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down
Its' a little bit of fiddling but in the end not that complicated (tryin to remember which screws should go into which place was the hardest part)

Thanks for the input guys. Very much appreciate it. Looks like ill order the lcd when I get my next paycheck :O

Have the girl lawyer up and press assault charges. Something like this really should be in Q&A, and the guy needs to get dumped.

I have this problem too, and eventually (like 2 or so mins in with the screen on) the screen gets dark areas in the corners. We're guessing it is screen damage (which is strange becuse the phone hasn't been dropped or anything, was just in my pocket). My question is what should I do - should I send it to HTC for an exchange or will I get issues with that because the phone is rooted, in which case should I just get a new screen and replace it?

Cracked LCD - Repair Help

I'm pretty sure I cracked my LCD but before I go on a man hunt I figured I'd check here first.
I tripped and rolled on my phone yesterday causing this to happen, when I turn on my Nexus you get a few colors but mostly the screen is black. The top glass is not broken.
I called HTC (my phone is still under warranty) and they said it'd be 155 bones to get it fixed.
Any idea where I can buy the LCD to fix this myself for cheaper?
I searched but couldn't find anything really.

this, this or this?

I have a broken one too, fell 2 floors down from stairs onto marble floor, though only amoled broke and i bought a new one for $100 cuz it was the only one who shipped to my country

Yep sounds like your LCD is broken. It's an easy enough fix if you wish to do it yourself, you should be able to get one on eBay for relatively cheap. I've actually got one spare that works perfectly if you want it. I'm based in the UK so it may be cheaper to get one on eBay if you're not around the same area.

I tried calling HTC as my phone is still under warranty for another month. They said it was a known issue and would most likely be fixed for free. So I decided to try that route. I'll keep ya'll posted.

Supposedly they've had issues with people using their nexus and the LCD just breaking underneath the glass and that's what the rep said they would put in the ticket even though I had told them the real story.

Good stuff, sounds like you got a pretty decent rep to handle yours

I just had this same repair done by HTC. On the first information-gathering call to HTC, the rep told me I'd be without my phone for 2-3 weeks. So then I considered trying to repair it myself using an AMOLED screen from ebay, but saw they ship from China and didn't feel like waiting for that either.
In the end, HTC pointed out that they could ship me a replacement phone before I sent mine in. I received a working phone two days later, shipped mine and then approved the "repair" via a support website. Obviously, they then repair the damaged phone and dump it into the repair pool.
It cost $115 and I was very happy with the process.
Hope all goes well with the free repair!

So, I called in today to check the status. My nexus is on it's way back repaired and all...FREE OF CHARGE.

Cracked Evo Screen

So yesterday at school, my friend bumped my arm by accident and my baby jumped out of my hands and then fell straight down on the screen. I watched the whole scene in slow motion . I had the phone without a case, because I like my phone naked, so even though this may be foolish, its just the way I like it.
I am aware that there are other threads about getting the phone screen repaired, but my situation is different. I know some people say to just buy a repair kit online for $20 and just do it yourself, but I had an online chat with sprint and the customer service rep told me that if I went to my local repair shop, they would charge me $35 for a new screen, and that if I contacted sprint they would reimburse me because I was a loyal customer.
Just in case of this being false, I took a screen shot of the chat. So today I went to the store, and they straight out told me that they do no do repairs, and that I could file a claim and pay $100 for a new phone. But I'm not interested in paying $100 for a phone that is 14 months old. So I was wondering is this just a situation at this store, or do all sprint stores reject cracked screen repairs. If the later is true than I will just need to buy the repair kit.
Thanks

Just means they don't do repairs there. Only certain stores have techs on site. Call Sprint and tell them you need repairs and ask what the closest repair center is from you.
However I have heard that sprint is no longer repairing screens. I don't know though.

Funny thing is, the sprint customer service rep clearly told me to go to the location I went to, and I went on the sprint site and looked at the list of locations and the location I went to was marked as a repair center.
And I was wondering about that, I hope not

Ehh I wouldn't bother with sprint and whatnot. If your LCD still lights up and colors are fine then you just need a new digitizer which last I saw I think you can get them for $10 just look up the evo teardown (ifixit.com) and look for the link for the digitizer or just google evo digitizer and you will see it. Really easy to replace. The ease of replacing and the cheep price is what made me decide to go case/screen protector less

I have purchase 2 assembled sets for $50 shipped. New digitizer, LCD, and frame. Preassembled. Couldn't get easier. My sister in laws Evo was ran over multiple times and I was able to save it.
That's the pic she sent...
After I repaired it I ruu it to OEM. It has a 2000mah battery and just been on my wifi. I think I had a 160 hour up and a 2 hour awake time lol

Okay, I guess I will do it my self. I just went looking on ifixit.com and couldn't find evo digitizer, looks like they were just selling parts for apple products. Also what should I look for when, trying to find a good quality digitizer. Do they sell name brand ones? Thanks

I bought my digitizer off Amazon for like $25. Just have to make sure the one you get is the one for your EVO. (Narrow and wide cable ribbon connectors). Be warned though, the glass doesn't pop out as easily as some of those videos make it seem. I had to pry mine out and messed up the LCD in the process.

I did this the first time. Before you remove the digitizer take a hair drier and heat up the digitizer to loosen the adhesive. And if u buy just that part do not try to remove the inside layer of film from the new digitizer....complete fail

I bought an Evo off of Craigslist, and dropped it less than 24 hours later. I tried to replace the screen with a new one, and completed messed my phone up. I took it like that, with an unscratched screen that wouldn't actually work, to a Sprint repair center. In two days they gave me a replacement for $35. Your mileage may vary, but I basically got a new phone for $135, including the original phone cost. So psyched!

Haha. I was saying that my baby(my evo) fell out of my hands and went straight down landing on the screen. Meaning it didn't fall on the back or the side but straight down on the front.

Call it in as stolen. I broke my screen. Sprint said call the insurance. Before I did I sold it on Cl for 150. Paid the 100 deductible and had a brand new EVO in box in less than a day. Sell it as a black listed phone. For cricket.

I do courtesy repairs all the time if the customer has never had one before. We have some that try to be sneaky, but a quick check reveals all. Pretty women sometimes get a second repair.

Cracked screen.

Does anyone know anywhere in london, UK to get a new screen fitted.
I dropped my htc desire hd yesterday and its cracked the screen, there is no ink on the screen and everything is working fine still, so its just the first piece of glass thats broke.
so what exactly do i need to get fixed, i see alot of people mentioning ameled or something like that, do i need to get that replaced as well, or can i just buy the glass myself and fix it myself?
i've checked a few htc repair centres online and they all want between £60 - £90 to fix it, but im sure i can do it myself with the right equipment.
as for right equipment, i been looking on ebay and noticed i could either buy just the glass or the full unit, would i better to buy the full unit to be safe?

The Desire HD is one of the last smartphones where the glass is not glued to the LCD panel, so you can remove the glass without issue. You will need a hairdryer or something, to loosen the glue that holds the glass to the frame.

As someone who has done it...
If it still works with the crack leave it alone. There is a nice HTC disassembly video out ther & you can get the bits from ebay. I initaly just bought the screen £20, but it's bonded to the digitiser £20 & so it's best to get the combined unit.
Pulling the phone to bits is OK, reassembling it should be OK, but there is nothing nothing to hold the base of the screen to the body without the special glue strips. I am used to repairing things, but all the connectors are soo small. I have gone back & check but can't see what isn't making contact.
I now have a working screen, but no WiFi, Bluetooth, or camera & a big hole in the bottom of the phone between the screen & the back. I wish I had just decided to live with the black patches on my display where something had leaked.
If you can get the job done for £60 inc parts do take it, or wait for your contract upgrade

I managed to find a company that will fix it for £45 all in, that includes sending it back to me special delivery, so i sent it off today, i'll report back in a few days will my review on them.
they said it'll take 2-4 days to receive the phone back.

I paid 150 euro's to replace the screen (which was the cheapest in my country), and my button backlights dont work anymore.
3 months later a crack came in there again, out of nowhere. It was not really annoying... but it hurt my fingers as i was moving around the crack; so i bought a screen protector to put on the screen and can hardly feel anything right now.

if you've got ink leaks then you'll need a new lcd as well, and £35 for both lcd and glass is really good.
but i dont fancy trying it myself, watched a few video's and it seems like a hard job.
i'd struggle just to keep track of where all the screws go

I have repaired mine with a preassembled screen and digitizer kit from eBay, sent from HK. I think it was around $60 shipped. Unfortunately the cap buttons do not light up properly and the screen ha some light leaks around the edges. I was given a $10 refund, so I'm not complaining. It may be with the Xtra to get a preassembled unit though...if it works right.

I'll give you my review but it'll be a quick basic 1 as I stopped using the phone within a week after getting it. It's now just sitting on my bedroom side but here goes.....
The company itself were amazing, replied to all my questions via phone call or E-mail.
They text me with every step that was taken on the phone so I always knew where my phone was.only downside was that once I received it back, it wasn't as good as expected. Yes the new glass was solid and everything worked but there was a small gap at the top and it really bugged me. To the point I stopped using the phone.
I mean it's bearable if your not worried about the gap, it's not came away from the screen/phone at all.
Ps- if you want to ask any questions about the service, free free but like I said, only downside was the gap at the top. But I was warned I will get that with every company that fixes it.

I dropped mine last month
and now there are several inky spots which disturbs me
I called the HTC Care, they said it will be $150 for making an LCD replacement

Cracked my N4's screen, unusable, where do I go from here? [UK]

So, it happened to me. Just my luck.
Was at university walking and the phone slipped from my hand onto the floor. It seemed to have survived that fairly well. Then it slid off the stairs (no barrier at the edge of the staircase going up my university) and fell about 8-10 feet onto the stair case below. Screen is ruined and unresponsive.
The phone is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader so I know this voids the warranty but I can lock the bootloader again and flash the phone back to the stock rom via cwm.
I bought the phone from Carphone Warehouse for £400 back in December because I couldn't wait and now I'm left with a brick. I need a phone to handle uni life and contact my fianceé in the States. I don't really want to have to spend money I don't have on a replacement N4 so is there anything I can do guys?
Any help at all will be extremely appreciated.
(I'd post a link to an image of the screen but cannot do so yet).
Thanks

Sorry to hear that, however the only option I think would've been better if you had phone insurance and it would replace your damaged phone and it would cost like 5 pounds a month. On the other hand maybe you can send it to Carphonewarehouse and see what the estimate is to get it repaired. Don't think rooted or not makes much difference in this situation.
Anyway good luck and hope you find some solution

Ouch, nightmare...
The only cheap way is to repair it yourself. If the mainboard is ok, get a new front and back panel. From the teardown I've seen of the Nexus 4, it doesn't seem that difficult. I'm sure there is a vid on youtube you can use as guide. If you can't do it yourself, a new phone seems to be the only option. At least it will be cheaper this time... Did you have a case on it when it dropped?

See that seems doable but the only problem is is the (is it aluminium?) that goes around the phone also got dented as it fell. This is even worse considering I actually DID have a case on it. I was using the Ringke Slim case. If anybody is using this case I highly recommend them to rethink their purchase because even though the phone hit the floor side on, it didn't protect it. Imagine if it hit face down. I have another generic 'S' silicone case from eBay and that would have done a far better job at protecting the sides. Shoulda, woulda, coulda eh?
Im wondering if LG's manufacture warranty will work in my favour at all? I just don't have the funds to replace the phone comfortably but that's the only option I see unfortunately.

I don't think you'll have any luck with warranty repair. Sorry about your phone though.

At that point Id just order another phone and sell the first for parts.

Sell the phone for parts? How would that work? Im not very savvy with this side of phones. Do I sell the phone in its entirety to a company who buys things like that? Sell on eBay for really cheap trying to get whatever I can get?

LG are asking for £40-120 dependent on the level of damage.

Really? Please can you give me a link to this info? I'd pay anything between that in a heartbeat if I can get it fixed. Once I reach 10 posts I'll post some images of the phone.

Do u have a lloydstsb account? They do free phone insurance and fixed my broken screen in the uk.

Really?! Yes I do! How would I go about doing this?

Check their website there's a link from there. Give them a call register the phone with them log on to their website and create a claim. Then they ask you to send the phone in. Note: do everything recorded del. It costs £50 excess they turned mine around in under two weeks from start to finish

This is true, I've read threads on here and Reddit with this information but can't find them atm.
Contact LG directly and they should help you.

The only cheap way is to repair it yourself. If the mainboard is ok, get a new front and back panel. From the teardown I've seen of the Nexus 4, it doesn't seem that difficult. I'm sure there is a vid on youtube you can use as guide. If you can't do it yourself, a new phone seems to be the only option. At least it will be cheaper this time... Did you have a case on it when it dropped?

I disagree. The only cheap way to do it is via insurance, 50 quid excess or whatever is a lot cheaper than the 150 pound screen is going to cost.
