So the phone worked fine, I brought it downstairs, start using the computer, check my phone and the screen is black with some lines, and what looks like a crack on the bottom near the buttons.
I called T-Mobile, who said it was a known issue, since corrected in newer shipments, that they usually replaced completely in-store, but there's no stores up here in Montreal. So then two reps both separately told me to call the factory/manufacturer HTC, who then told me that they don't cover screen problems, at all, ever. All they can do is initialize the normal off-warranty repair service for like 200$ and be phone-less for about a month.
I find this completely unacceptable and could use some help or HTC/TMO reps on the forums? This is my first phone and I'm not used to dealing with this...

my fiancee's G2 screen went out last night, it looked like it shattered from the inside because there was a 1 1/2 inch crack under the glass. she says it was working perfectly fine, put it in her purse and a few mins later it wouldnt turn on. she didnt drop it or hit it against anything so i have no idea what happened. exchanged it at radio shack today (only had it 10 days) and the guy said it had to have been from a heavy blow. now i know she is capable of abusing phones but i believe that she didnt this time.

i had the exact same thing happy to my phone last night. i have only had it a few days. this is not a good sign for the G2 phone. i barely used it; it was never dropped, etc. there appears to be some kind of crack under the screen near the home button on the phone (maybe from pushing that button?) and the screen is out. the phone is still functional and can get calls, etc, but i cannot see anything. i am going in today to get it replaced but this worries me a lot about owning this phone.

I had my phone plugged in today. I came back to find my screen looking like this whenever I try to turn it on. I can hear the phone perform tasks in the background, but my screen doesn't move.
I have a white screen with a bunch of vertical lines with one black vertical line in the center. What happened and what can I do to fix this?
Later: Got a new G2 yesterday. T-mobile swapped it out with no questions asked.

Still waiting on better camera but here's from my webcam. Turned on. You can kind of see a crack at the bottom. It looks different than before, when it was really obvious white lines, now it's darker but still changes depending on what the phone is supposed to be showing.

It looks pristine when the screen is off. I'm not knowledgeable about screens but it must be an inside layer, broken from a pressure or heat problem?
i have exactly this issue, and have ordered a new lcd to replace it with, looks like the digitiser is fine.
The part is due to arrive soon so i will let you know how it goes.

Pressure... unlikely. Heat and cold contributes a lot when it comes to glass. My old phone cracked when it was really cold back where I use to live.

Mine did that too. Called T-Mobile and they made me add the $6 monthly warranty and said i could remove it from the account after the swap
They made me reboot the phone and then check the moisture sticker thing under the battery. I just told them what the screen was doing and they replaced it. I had the insurance but I didn't have to use it for the warranty replacement.

Did yours have a little crack near the buttons, but not the actual glass?
I have the same EXACT issue in the same EXACT spot. Noticed it when i took my g2 out of my pocket. The glass has no cracks scratches or anything!!Called tmobile the next day...the guy told me to take it a store to determine whether its "cosmetic" damage or not. Went to the store and they said its physical damage and wouldnt be covered. Called customer service at the store and she explained to me that this was a known issue. She called it "lcd bursting". Ordered my phone right then and there. Once i get the phone she was i have to send in my old one so that they can determine whether its covered under the warranty or not. If not its $279. Have any of you guys gotten charged the $279 if you had the small crack by the home buttons??
I never had this issue before... I have a little mytouch bag for my g2 and never put in my pockets... had this phone for hell of a long time. Wish you don't got to pay dude and if they do make you pay start b***hing at them
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I sent it in and they want me to pay 190$. And they didn't even know about ANY known issues. I told them to have their "technicians" recheck it with specific instructions.
my screen arrived today, and its all fixed. If worst comes to worst you can buy a new screen and do it yourself for so much cheaper than that.

While at King's Dominion earlier this week, I noticed the "DEL" part of the logo on the battery cover fell off (probably 1-too many roller coaster rides). The last "L" stayed on. Fortunately, I had the original clear silicone case on it, and the "DEL" got caught up top / side between the phone & the case.... When I got home, I cleaned the logo area with alcohol and a Q-Tip and used a tooth pick to put little dabs of Super Glue (the gel type glue), in the recesses where the logo is at the middle-most part. I think I got good adhesion.... seems secure now, but I'm wondering if I should pry off the last "L" and the circular parts and glue them as well?
I picked up an original Dell dock earlier this week and cannot use the dock and any case simultaneously... and I'm also liking the way my nude Streak feels, but I'm afraid if the rest of the logo tries to escape, I may not have the case on and consequently loose the parts..... Any thoughts?
Thanks all!

It's not that I can't help it...I just don't wanna help it ;-) As much as I read about new devices I am not impressed at all,many of the android devices look so alike,they don't even catch my attention.
We don't have a retina display buy I think the Streak has a nice screen.
Getting ready to go to bed...streak,charger,headphones...I am ready now.
Hahahaha... I lost the logo also when i try to use the silicone case. It just went sticky with the case i guess, so with some insert-deinsert cycle it went loose. I did purchase the replacement cover though ($40 - goddamnit), but daily I keep the old cover because I like it that way (matte with embossed effect-LoL).
So sorry i have to part with my streak. Last month i almost lose this phone, actually I did but then someone find it and return it to me. In reflection i decided to sell, because it's some kind of bad mojo for me. Still i missed my streak though...

You tha man! Id like to try sleeping with mine plugged in all nite. I usually fall asleep with my streak in my hand and somebody come along and plays with it before they put it back in my hand or in my pants.
I need to be careful though, that gorilla glass aint what its crackex up to be. One night I may roll over ontop of it and break it. Now that dell dropped the Streak, it might get hard locating replacement parts.
I just got my n7 after waiting for a month but i feel really sad mine have issue .the screen look gray . White cant us it and there are something like liquid in corner . Is there away to fix or i need to change it

If its really liquid RMA your N7. However if you are seeing something like light bleeding all around the the edges of the screen when you turn on the device I think it is some software issue.

Man that's horrible. Yea replace that sucker. Hopefully they will send you another one before sending yours out so at least you can play with it some.
I don't know where you live or your money situation but you might be able to buy one locally and just return the defective one for a full refund. This way you can have a working unit asap while you deal with the bad one.
I'm just the opposite with Asus. Their hardware was always cutting edge and their device support is amazing. I had a TF101 and it was an awesome tablet. I had no issues whatsoever. The N7 being from Asus is partially why I bought it. They can have my money and support. I only recommend Asus for tablets because of the upgrades and support they give.

Nexus 7 Screen "Ghosting"
I have had the same issue with my N7. I noticed this issue from day one but paid no attention it because the device was delivered late in the day and the package was extremely warm I turned it off and let it rest for a few hours to let the device cool down.
Keep in mind 15 minutes after I got the device, it was unlocked and flashed with CWM Touch Recovery. BusyBox installed, Rom Manager and a Preview build of CM10. Today I was playing a game of Sudoku and 5-7 minutes after the game was over, I closed the app out. The background to the game was solid white and the Sudoku board was black boxes. After I closed the app out you could clearly see the Sudoku board on the screen as well as the numbers and everything. I turned my N7 off and turned it back on and the bleed through was still there.
I setup a call with Google and within 4 minutes I had two e-mails. One to print off a RMA and return UPS Shipping label and the other to order my New N7. Clearly they wont let you have a replacement on good faith. They told me they had to receive my defective device within 21 days of this e-mail it had to pass testing. The representative, told me they had to test it for water damage and make sure I didn't go tap dancing on the screen... However, I had to flash stock ROM, stock recovery and re-lock the boot loader. It was easy enough.
***Edit***
A good point to bring up. Google gives you two options for returning your defective Nexus.
1. No payment method
a. Return via RMA Kit
b. wait for Google to test the device
c. Receive a replacement Nexus 7 after testing is complete
2. Payment method
a. Click on a link e-mailed to you
b. purchase your new nexus for 199.99 no S&H or taxes (This is just a hold until they receive your old nexus and test it)
c. return your nexus via RMA (you have 21 days to return or they charge you for the new nexus)
d. once Google tests and verifies your device is covered under warranty, you receive a credit to your account
I hope my new Nexus 7 doesn't have the same issue.
Hello guys .
I had my htc one for 3 months now , and today i dropped it having a dent on the edge which prevented me from using the volume buttons ; So i finally i made my mind to tear it apart . Took me several hours (have an exam on monday so was not giving full attention on the phone)
It was easy to take apart .
used a hair dryer to heat up the phone and removed the bottom speaker cover and it was pretty easy and using a blade moved up on both sides for several times , but nothing was separating , so i did the same thing on the top and using a guitar pick inserting the guitar pic on the top pushed back the white poly-carbonate and then after some efforts the back housing finally separated . Everything is working i did damage the poly-carbonate. But i did not have a new housing to change with , will post a video and pics once i have it . I dont have the money to buy one today . Will borrow from parents and order one on monday

Taking it apart was never the problem, the problem was taking it apart without damaging the phone, mostly by prying it open and damaging the finish.
John.
Try putting it back together now.
Disassembling stuff is mostly straightforward, however assembling it back can be a PITA..
If you are able to take apart the phone without damaging anything except for the back, then you are absolutely awesome.
That's all we need to be able to do. The replacement back is only 25 dollars. If it is easy to remove the back and put on a new one, then this will come in handy for people who scratched or dented their backs or cracked their camera lenses. Also, once OEM parts for the red and blue are available, we'll be able to change the colors of our phones to our liking.
Again, awesome.
If you look at the op`s photo in post 2, the right hand side of the back case looks like something has been chewing at it.

HTC One Repairability Score: One out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)
Very, very difficult (possibly impossible?) to open the device without damaging the rear case. This makes every component extremely difficult to replace.
The battery is buried beneath the motherboard and adhered to the midframe, hindering its replacement.
The display assembly cannot be replaced without removing the rear case—this will make the most common repair, a damaged screen, nearly impossible.
Copper shielding on many components is difficult to remove and replace.
Solid external construction improves durability....
See for them it's difficult -.- . Just wanted to say it's not

Its information for which some people may find useful............so why is it useless?
You may also wish trying to learn how to spell as well. At least the 16 year old OP gets that correct.
Finished a training ride today...reached into my jersey pocket to call home andddd it slips and lands on the corner.
2 months old only. Damn. :/ Hurts my pocket for sure as I saved up and finally moved on from a GNexus 2 years later. (<--I'm a student)
Feast your eyes on broken glass (LCD still works but the digitizer which is bonded to the glass is broken). Sony quoted me 50% of the cost of the phone just to replace and repair it. That's not worth it IMHO. Sigh. Guess I'll just sell it for parts and go hunting for a 2nd hand phone......

i'm a total idiot. WHY DID I LET THE PHONE SLIP?!!??!!!
Yeah i'm SoL. Parents aren't offering any support so I'm most likely going to
sell this for parts on CTO if anybody wants it and just see what kind of replacement phone I can get.
The new Meizu or Xiaomi looks quite nice. :/ Won't be able to afford anything expensive

Sorry for the loss, but I gotta ask.. How did u get the dialer and clock on the same screen.
Ps. You could get a replacement screen and fix it yourself

Thats the lock screen (pin lock)
I could...but the cost isn't too far off from an official repair ($100US) but even if I fixed the screen I loose the water resistance because as you can see there's a chunk of the bottom left frame missing
Ouch! That took quite a hit what type of surface did you drop it on? Hope you find a solution soon.

I'm 5.7" so roughly from 5.5" height?
Went straight corner down to concrete. There was a crunch *ouch :/
It looked ok though until I powered on the screen and it wouldn't respond.
It's actually easy to fix, check online for spare parts. They sell the body for 30 euro's and the screen varies

Sorry to hear that, such a shame. Check out Amazon. I noticed some spares kicking up on there a few days ago. Screens and bodies.

I did check. Final cost would bring me to roughly the same price or just a little cheaper than an official repair.....

Indeed. I kept it naked because I had the charging dock and I didn't want to deal with taking the case on and off all the time. I should've gotten one. Phone landed corner first which is why the damage is like this. If it was flat on the back it might have taken it better

What is Samsung now paying students to write bad stuff about Sony? It looks a bit too much chipped off if it only fell from your pocket.. unless you're 2,5m tall.

THIS PHONE ISN'T AS DURABLE AS YOU THOUGHT, KID.
The digitiser of mine is broken and I didn't even drop it. It's because of the heat from CPU instead according to many shops that I went to.

Idk man I've dropped this phone into my kick drum whilst recording, ive dropped it on concrete, tile, no scratches, may just be the fact that this guy was unlucky enough to have it land DIRECTLY on the corner which is really ouch.

KID's news-flash for you - heat always makes anything less durable. So no, don't leave your phone in the sun or don't try to power the processor above what was factory made.

Lol today I dropped my phone literally only about a foot onto a screw that was pointing up and shattered the screen pretty bad.
Anyhow I did a claim with Verizon's insurance and it's on backorder so I said f that and bought a screen from DIYMobileRepair so I can just fix it myself...but after I ordered it I realized it's not a OEM replacement screen..man I hope the screen looks just as good as the OEM the specs are the same..anyone bought screens from there before and the quality is still the same as OEM? I'll have the replacement screen Monday so I can fix it myself

Did you break the digitizer? I dropped mine and shattered the corner everything still works though. I'm with Verizon so I don't want to use my insurance. I'm afraid I'll get my/different phone back with a locked bootloader. I think I'll eventually shell out the cash and take your route.

No digitizer is good..it barely fell..it just fell on a screw facing up just right when I was at work
I love how you started your OP with "lol".
I don't possibly see how it could NOT be an OEM replacement screen. Who else in the world could possibly make the exact same display? It's not like you're swapping out a light bulb here... I wouldn't worry.

OMG, I was just about to post how I had to order a replacement phone yesterday.
I got so lucky!!! My phone started to have issues withe the microphone. Not bad but just slightly annoying. I called VZW and they shipped it out overnight. Got the new one today and... It had 7.1 on and not 7.1.1. Unlocked as quickly as I could run!
Weird how both our phones went down at the same time.
I was thinking about your issue. There are only so many companies that can make that type of screen so odds are you will get a decent one.

Since there is basically no new XL's easisily available, my guess is they are replacing with returned phones or repaired phones. I doubt they update the firmware. I think once stock levels rise and time goes by, all replacement until will likely have 7.1.1

I did do an insurance claim but I'm not willing to wait months because of the back order...but ended up canceling the claim and ordered a new screen to fix it myself...didn't want to chance not being able to unlock boot loader as well. getting the screen to fix myself is 60 bucks cheaper than that assurian insurance bs through Verizon. Plus to replace the screen is easy as hell...took apart my screen today to see how difficult it would be lol

That is true ! I've asked if I would still have warranty if I had them do a whole conversion from black to white and Ubreakifixit said nope. I contacted google and they said that is fine , if there is no physical/water damage then I still will have the 1 year warranty. So I'm going to have them change my pixel to white since mine is cracked on front and back. Then have google swap my Verizon model for a Google play model.:fingers-crossed:

It's easier replacing the whole LCD assembly since you don't have to worry about cracking the old lcd under the old glass. Oh and don't forget to buy tempered glass protector now haha.
I have to replace the LCD on my Pixel. Can anyone tell me what kind of adhesive I need? Is 3m double sided scotch tape good enough, or do I need some other one?

That'll work. Most of the screen replacements come with some sort of adhesive
