Hello everyone, my phone got ran over last night. Its actually still working fine, touchscreen and all but there are cracks in the lower screen. You cant actually feel them but if you tilt the phone or whatever you can. Last night it was like bleeding pink colors but now the entire phone is covered in like a pink and blue haze. I can't see much of anything but the touch screen still works. I know the bottom screen needs to be replaced. Does anyone know how about much this would cost to be repaired? Should I go to a local repair shop? Also what needs to be fixed exactly so I don't get hustled?
Your LCDs are bleeding (causing the "haze"), your digitizer is fine if the touchscreen is working, you need a new screen.
Here is an example of what you need replaced:
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/google-nexus-one-lcd-screen-replacement-display-amoled.html
You can do it yourself, but I would only attempt it if you're really good with that kind of stuff. But if you do want to do it yourself, here are some cheaper screens from eBay. And this guy on youtube has a good set of videos on how to replace the screen (45 videos). But again, this is going to take time and skill.
It says in the videos that he's replacing his digitizer. Should I just follow the same steps? Do you think its that difficult to do it by one's self? I'm pretty tech-savvy but I don't have any experience in cell phone repair. But I am a college student and saving a large amount of money on labor costs would be awesome
Doesnt nexus have amoled screen not lcd. Who stupid is thinking that every device haves crappy lcd like iphone.

Uh, I dont know the specifics. You might need to replace the entire digitizer (maybe it's all one part, and you cant just replace the screen). For sending it into HTC, someone on android forums said that:
I cracked my LCD last month, sent it in to HTC, cost $115 total including overnight shipping which HTC covers, was only phoneless for 4 days.

So I mean, its up to you. Here is a google support thread and some other forum post, maybe you can get more info. Here are more instructions for self-repair.

I appreciate the help. I just contacted a local repair shop and they said it would be $124. So I'm figuring it's worth it to pay the thirty dollars for the labor rather than screwing it up. Thanks though for pointing me in the right way
Yea, thats good. Personally, I wouldn't try to mess with all that internal stuff, too complicated for me and too many places I could screw up lol. No problem.

does anyone know how much it would cost to bring it into HTC for an official repair of the screen? I have the same bleed problem as him, but my screen is completely black now and unusable. I contacted HTC and Im planning to send it in on Monday, but I just wanted a quote on how much it would cost from HTC

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.
omg i didnt even drop it. It just crcked from inside. I was listing to music and i was about change the song took it out of my pocket and it was cracked i couldt see anything
what should i do?
Best thing is probably send it into HTC and have it repaired.

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
Just realized today that there is some dirt under the glass screen on the top left corner. When the screen is on, it is hard to notice. But since I plan on selling this phone to get my next one during the summer, I want this thing to be mint.
Do you know if Sprint will replace my entire phone or will they just replace the display in-store? I hope it's the latter...
BTW, any chance of getting a White EVO replacement?

Yes and no; NEXT!

I would say that sprint will switch it for you if you complain enough, and to the correct person; however there is zero chance of a white evo unless because of the variance in SKUs.
I have had the screen replaced twice on my Evo for dust in the upper left corner. This defect was corrected but the scecond screen I got was also one of the originals. The third I have now appears to be the one with the revised gasket.
Youre going to get hella flamed, but meh, its the internet.
Anyways, YES sprint will replace it. They replaced a friends evo for dust, and my sisters hero that had dust. I plan on selling mine to get my next phone too
Hi,..guys,.
I was just wiping my phone with microfiber cloth and to my sharp eyes...just above the power button...I stumble upon an object that is stuck between the bezel or the bezel it self has a flaw?. it measures about 0.5cm straight vertical line. I tried to take it out with a paper ...it's the only object that is thinner to pass thru the side of the bezel...but the object wont budge. or maybe it was the plastic bezel it self. Can I return this phone? And get a replacement?
Pretty sure that Google wouldn't replace the phone as its physical damage and it isn't necessarily defective by any means. Just get a case and cover it.

I don't know what it is or how it got there. You're best thing to do is to ask them to see what they would do for you. You didn't notice it until just recently it could of due to user fault. The bezel affects absolutely nothing on the phone and is a cosmetic problem.
Like again, just contact them and see what they can do. No body here can say otherwise

Can't blame them. They had to meet supply for its demand. At least on a good note they have a really nice rma. You get to keep your phone while they send your replacement in with a temporary charge. When they receive the original device they take the charge off.

Every device or product made will have some sort of manufacturing defect. Nothings perfect. What matters is how the company responds to it. Like I said, they have a good rma service and they should be able to take care of your problem
Production for Nexus 4 is done in South Korea not China. They don't use child labor there or overwork them on ridiculous hours.

Temporary charge so they assure you that you send your device back otherwise you'd be charged with two of them. You'll get your money back.
I don't understand why you make such a big deal about it and then you're worried about a TEMPORARY charge? It's there so you don't keep two N4s.
For units that have been damaged after delivery, you may be charged an additional restocking fee of either 25% or 50% of the original purchase price based on the severity of damage. If we receive a return which has been damaged beyond repair, we may return the item to you without issuing a refund.
