Does anyone know the cheapest way to get a cracked screen on the HD2 fixed? I called HTC but 120$ is way too much.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Does it still work? I cracked the glass on mine about 5 months ago,, three strips of sellotape, job done. With the added bonus that since it already looks battered,I'm no longer so delicate with it, hehe.
the money a saved will go towards a new hd2 in a few months.

There are some sites on Ebay listing $99.
120 is what I paid through T-Mobile insurance to get a new hd2,when I cracked mine... could be worst you could have dropped it in a toilet like I did w phone #3. got t out right away no damage to water sticker and sent it back for a free one. said it just stopped working after a serious briking and a few other incidents I'm on my 5th hd2 and I've only paid 180$ (next day shipping) thanx T-Mobile

I fixed this hd2 I am using with a digitizer I ordered from eBay its some work gotta be chill and good with a heat gun and screw driver to remove the glass w/o breaking or scratching the screen as it is stuck on with some 3m adhesive make sure you get a us or whereever you are seller or it will take a bit and make sure it comes with that 2 sided tape glue stuff usually looks like a pink piece of paper

i cracked mine, and just order it from ebay...50 dlls. for it, but ill send it to some one who knows how to change it, cause its a lill bit hard to replace it.... (saw a video on youtube makin it, and wooowww)
Hi all,
Recently I dropped my Vega and broke the glass and digitizer.
Curry's have told me that it wouldn't be economical to repair & charged me £20 for the pleasure.
I have also gotten various different quotes from other quite frankly dubious companies online all above £180.
So I have come to the decision that it would be a lot more risk free to just buy another one.
I'd like to know if anyone knows a good place to sell my broken Vega for parts? Everything else is tested and working fine on it. I would stick it on eBay but I'm not really sure what a fair price would be.
If anyone could offer advice I would greatly appreciate it if I can reclaim any of my money back.
Thanks very much
Simon
Where do you plan on purchasing a replacement mate?
I've been desperately trying to get a hold of a new one for two weeks now!
Everywhere is out of stock. I've tried every Currys and PC World in the North East and online, they're all gone.
Any ideas?
I'd like to steer clear of eBay as nobody will guarantee a 100% scratch free screen.

Could try gumtree I got one two months old with receipt and case for 160 pound. Seen one go for 90 pound. They don't seem to sell very well second hand so even month old listings and they still have it forsale and drop the price.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, just thought I'd ask as you mentioned that you were going to get a new one.

so i sold my atrix on ebay, never received any feedback its been about a month...
today buyer says the back cover is missing protective grid dynamic?
im not sure what he means, he says its missing the mesh? and now wants me to purchase a new cover
can i see your guys back cover front and back?
and what should i do? should i give him $ to buy cover + how much should i give him
No chance mate. Did you send it with signature required? If so then he or she should of flagged the issue immediately. Not a whole month later. I guess the "mesh" is the speaker cover.......
Anyhow tell the douche to do one. Hope you don't give in to the threats and pressure.

If they don't complain within a week of receive its not your problem. My 2 cents.

yes i shipped fed ex 2 day with signature
he purchased it as a new york buyer, but is contacting me a ukraine buyer i offered to get me one from ebay for 12$ he said they don't ship to ukraine and he wants 15 + buyers fee? lol 3$
im guessing he bought the phone, it gets sent to a ny address and then sent to the ukraine
i feel i dont have to pay him anything, but the way ebay protects buyers is what scares me
i wouldn't worry. if it's been a month. it's more than likely that they damaged it. Buyers fee??? they're having a laugh!!
i hate people who don't give feedback! ebay need to sort that one out!!!
Give eBay a call... Their customer service is actually pretty good and they can walk you through exactly what your rights are. They won't keep you on hold for too long, either! Definitely worth the call.

:crying:So my girlfriend managed to drop my beautiful white s3 and now i wanna drop her ass. somehow she managed to break it the same day i rooted it and started to truly enjoy it.
Screen cracked at the top corner now theres a spider crack all over the top of the screen with a couple of cracks that run down to the middle phone still works, but the crack is killing me on the inside hehe. Now funny part is i bought the defender for it the day i bought it cause i knew it was too weak to handle a hard drop, and i've been checking the mail for it for 2 weeks now. then she comes and does that just the day before it arrived. After crying inside a while and just wanting to punch someone i managed to start looking at options.
checked online and the parts cost $240-$290, bell and best buy can fix it by it'll cost at least $325. I also bought the best buy protection plan (12.99/month). am thinking I should be able to find some cheap non-samsung parts for much cheaper than that, replace the screen and give it to best buy for an exchange as long as something is wrong with it (not sure wt though )

found a youtube video showing how to replace the screen, looks wayyyy too complicated

this.
even tmo's coverage of 7.99/mo allows us to pay 100 deductible for a replacement phone...
Best buy should cover it for you, for free.
Yeah... I pay 9.99 for coverage through Best Buy. No deductible, no questions, replaced in a couple of days. What did you sign up for?

Only thing I could think of is they might do it different over there in Canada. I think that is where the OP is from.
Just posted about this in the other cracked screen thread...
"Missed my damn pocket on Saturday night, and dropped mine on the garage floor. Got a small crack about as wide a finger nail from the right side of the ear piece curving up to the edge. Which is strange, cause the only other mark on the phone is a small scuff at the bottom of the back cover. But, I have BB insurance, so its in being fixed with no deductible! I've dropped my epic a few times in the last year, and not scratch on the screen. Makes me wonder what they changed in the formula from og gorilla glass to gorilla glass 2. 
As much as I don't want to add all the bulk to it, the Otterbox Defender, or Trident Kraken may be in its future...

Fixed
not sure how you guys manage your finances, but if there is a fee, shouldn't see be paying for it?
If I dropped my girl's laptop, phone, crashed her car (or w/e) and we weren't pretty much married, I would cover it to get whatever it is fixed.
I dropped my friend's motorcycle helmet while handing it to him several years ago. he didn't have a good grip and as I passed it, it slipped into his hand from mine and fell to the concrete floor. it was still intact, but had nice bruising from the concrete. I apologized and got him a new one within a week...

What girlfriend?
The PEP from Best Buy in Canada is different than the one in the US. It does not cover physical damage, liquid damage, basically they call it "stupidity". I'm not calling it that, that's how they word it. PEP from Best Buy only extends the manufacturer's warranty. So instead of getting refurbs, you get brand new replacements. And you can pick a different phone if you want. I posted in another thread indicating that no carrier or 3rd party store in Canada offers insurance anymore. At least not that I'm aware of. It sucks because Best Buy charges $12.99 + taxes per month for the PEP. I have 2 PEP's from Best Buy. On one of my PEP's, I already got 3 brand new replacement phones. On my
2nd one I got one brand new replacement in which I chose a different model.
So both already paid itself.

Wow I can't imagine trying to sell that to customers. It's already hard enough trying to get people to get the 9.99 plan that replaces the phone with no deductible. Customers say "if I break the phone I'll buy a new one for 200, not realizing the phone is $650.

I think the deductible for our phone is $150. Which it's still cheaper than replacing just the screen.

Don't even have my phone or actually even purchased mine yet... this made me buy a case regardless soooo... thanks, haha.
If you wanna be technical about it then she's my fiance... I'd expect her to pay otherwise for sure lol... I guess a broken 4.8" screen makes you a bit bitter lol...
Yea best buy Canada is another story they do not cover physical or water damage... Am gonna try calling visa today to see if there is any insurance that my purchase can be covered under... But after reading online about this am no longer hopeful for anything....
Next time buy the case before even thinking of buying the phone... And do not trust a girl with a delicate thing like your phone...

I ride my bike with my Nexus 4 strapped on my arm and last week I fell off my bike and the phone flew off my hands because I was texting and riding my bike. My phone has the eBay kickstand rubber and plastic case (I like that it covers the USB and headphone ports) and XOskins rear and front screen protector and my phone survived the fall and tumbling on concrete, only minor tearing of an edge of the screen protector and very minor scuff on the corner of the case. Overall my phone feels pretty safe.

An amazon.com seller had the ballistic case for about $21usd + shipping (it shipped internationally for about $12 If I recall correctly, but now the price is up to about $27 + shipping) The seller that ships internationally was "One Stop Cell Shop". The price from this seller has been fluctuating between about $21 and $27 so you could wait to see if it decreases.
In the mean time.. I have just purchased the ballistic case from www.ioffer.com for about $27 + free international shipping. The seller has 21000 trades and 99% positive feedback. I know that ioffer sells fakes but also has some authentic products. I hope the case is authentic . It says shipping will take 5-10 days, so I will let you all know when (and if ) I receive it. I paid with paypal so I can make a dispute claim if it's not what I ordered.
So.. there are options out there just be careful when ordering and don't blame me if you order it from ioffer and it's fake... I will let you know in a week or 2 when I get it. :victory:
MyBat Tuff Hybrid Case
The MyBat Tuff Hybrid Case is great. I've mentioned this on other threads that I've dropped it from 4.5 feet right on the corner ... no damage.
I've dropped it multiple times since then. The colored version is $8.95 on ebay, the "Beer" version is $9.00. I currently have the black version, the beer version is on it's way.
colored versions
Beer Version
Thanks people,very helpful info
Beer Goggles!
I put my "Beer Version" of the MyBat case on my N4 and it looked great, but ...
When I made a phone call my screen when black and wouldn't come back. A quick check on google and I found that the proximity sensor was partially blocked by the new case. I expanded the opening with my box knife and all is well.
If i can't find the Ballistic case for a good price,i'm definitely getting this one,with the beer print
I got the Ballistic through the Cell guru for around $30 shipped to Australia.
Other than the Otterbox which isn't available for the Nexus, this is the only case I would trust to protect the phone from a drop.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk HD
i have orderer a mybat tuff in black and also the ballistic one... i will compare both and make a review between both of them... they seem to be the best decisions in case of protection...
Any two layered case with a lip will offer good drop protection.
I don't know what case offers the most protection, but the Diztronic model works amazing! Today I was walking out of a store with my hands full not paying attention and all of a sudden I see my phone, falling through the air on its way to the pavement. The distance was about 5ft high. It landed on the top corner (camera side) and the phone is completely intact. The case had a little scuff/dirt mark that just rubbed away. I can't tell you how happy I am to have put this on. I dropped my Nexus S once case-less and the hassle with getting it repaired and such, what a task. To think of all the trouble I saved myself, wow. So very grateful. Much respect to Diztronic.
2 drops so far above waist level with my ringke fusion and not 1 scratch
