Well I dropped my G1 the other day and it busted the outer glass part. The LCD is fine and it still works perfect. I have looked everywhere,with no luck of finding any parts for them. So I called HTC and they told me 150-250 to replace the glass!! So I was wondering if any one know anyone that does G1 Repair or if anyone know of another phone that has more ava. parts for it with a 3.17" Screen? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Nope, I got AT&T. Was thinking of taking apart the phone and getting the glass measurements and having a custom cut piece of glass.
i believe its a special type of glass
Pretty much stuck buying the glass from HTC on this one ...sorry
PS... it is glass
iphone 3g - Dream lcd
I read that the same screen is in use on the iphone 3g, I doubt its true they probably meant type or sumthin, maybe worth a check...
on the old palm pdas you could replace just the glass if the layer under it isn't damaged, this may no longer be possible with these screens, once the bigtime flashing begins there will be lots of bricks available pretty cheap, maybe you should keep an eye out for somebody who pooched the dev bootloader install then after you convince them they killed it you could buy it maybe for less than the HTC price...
gotta say, that sucks if you were a tmob customer you'd have a few options...

Hello. Don't you think It's weird that it happened to me too today?
I've never had a broke phone since my Nokia 8210.
Well, some idiot had placed out one of those kinds of plastic bands you use to seal packages with, a black one.
It was pitch dark and I fell as the plastic ring got snared around my feet. Obviously my Jabra bt3030 got pushed against the screen and it got severely cracked.
My insurance company seems to be covering the whole phone except a small sum. This was from the phone part, but I got to see if I can get something from the health insurance as I hit my head and scratched my hand (though not likely but I can always try)
The touch seems to work most of the time, though it reacts slowly but some times It's just dead.
This really sucks.
I'm dead serious when I'm talking that there was no way that the band could be seen when walking.

It is glass. But you can not simply cut a piece of glass to the same dimension as the touchscreen is integrated into the glass cover. So yes you will need to get a htc or aftermarket replacement part.
The interesting thing is that the repair cost you quoted is identical to the cost of the copay if you go with the Asurion device insurance T-mo offers. So device insurance would just be a waste of money at $5 a month if you end up with broken glass.
Looks like I will just have to hold onto it until aftermarket parts come out. I busted mine by letting it slip out of my hand while talking on it....then it took a 6ft fall to eventually land face first on concrete.....I didnt even wanna pick it up cause i new it was messed up and if it wasnt I was gonna call HTC and give them props! I have a ava. upgrade from AT&T Maybe get a Iphone until this one gets fixed then sale iphone on ebay for 5x wuts its worth.
The iphone's screen seems to crack pretty nice as well.
I hope changing the glass on the G1 isn't as frustrating as on the Iphone.

edit:
Not directing this to the message above, just saying.
Cracked screen replacement with compatible HW from third party --when?
I cracked the LCD of my G1 after about three weeks and have noted that neither PPCTechs nor MobileKangaroo have yet acquired a source for the replacement screen.
My understanding is that HTC currently charges what one thread in another forum (http://www.allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4226) quoted as "a minimum of $238.00" to make this repair.
I expect this repair to be offered soon by third parties for about $150, likely using a non-HTC screen product to replace the damaged one.
Has anyone heard any reports about forthcoming availability of such hardware? If so, then are there any non-HTC services to make the replacement?
yeah im looking for this too...i dropped mine and then proceeded to step on it day two with the phone.

This waht i found out
so have the same issue and this is what I found out
so from my understanding there are 2 part to the lcd the outer glass touch sensor and the inner lcd. if the the screen is just cracked and you can see the image the u have to replace both. attached are the part descriptions fromt he g1 service manual. and below is a link of a site that sells them, but for some reason they sell the touch scrren with the outer bezel making it cost more. i called htc to order just the touch sensor glass but they said the dont sell replacements, they just fix em

I contacted the seller of the screen and he/she told me that It's only the screen. If the G1 cracks It's the digitizer glass that cracks first. Then if you are unlucky the screen cracks as well. I managed to only crack the digitizer glass. The screen beneath is totally fine. Unfortunately removing the glass from the digitizer plastic was very painful and I managed to wreck the flat cable of the digitizer so that's beyond repair. Now I tried to disassemble the whole phone but I got stuck at removing the housing. First I had problems with the Torx bits. I have some Torx bits in my sets but the lowest I got was T8. I had to buy a cellphone bits set with a lot of different types of bits. It had Torx all the way down to T4. The T5 and T6 was what I needed. There are 4 T5 to remove and one T6. I have inserted the sharp plastic between the housing and the top case and released all hooks but it seems the front and back part of the housing of the phone is dead stuck.
You have to open the whole damn phone from the back to get to the inside of the screen. Why the screen housing uses standard Philips is also beyond me. I have lots of bad experience with standard Philips screws. The heads always get bad after a while of screwing. I have yet to have a problem with Torx.
hi all,
today i suddenly dropped my hd2 during my daily commuting out of my shirt pocket when i bent doen to pick sumthing up...even thgh it was in the pouch,,,the inside lcd screen developed a long crack across the upper face ..thgh it is visble only on dark screen prominently..
worse is the touch functions have suddenly stopped responding..i can not access my phien features by touch as nothing happens..
screen is stuck in unlock screen..cannot slide across to unock
tried soft/hard reset, practically everthing
its just 20 days old for gods sake,,wh culd be the matter
I feel for you ... is it insured?
no..will warranty cover that,,the i can recive phone calls fine....thru buttons only...is there any way to remove that lock screen so at least i can access function thru keys
Even so, you can't do much with those buttons alone. But sounds like you only broke the digitizer. It costs much lesser than the LCD. You may want to try fix it yourself.
Sorry to hear this chap. If it's not insured (I don't understand why if it's not) then your best bet is to send it back to HTC to get it repaired.
You must be gutted.

ya,,,,gave back to the dealer for repairing...how do i know whter its digitiser or inner lcd broken..i mean he might repair digitizer and charge me for lcd screen..unfortunately here in india no insurance facilty for mobiles...no idea how long it will take to get repaired

You can Insure your phone my friend.. check this
http://newindia.co.in/per-mobile.asp
From what I know..
National Insurance Company, Oriental Insurance Company, New India Assurance Company and United India Insurance Company cover mobile phone insurance. They fix compensation equivalent to cost of replacement by new mobile of same specifications and capacity, including all taxes and duties.
Hope this helps..

hi all..my dealer says he had forwarded hd2 to htc service center and since its a new model the screen replacement is not avalible..he said they quoted estimated price of 20 thousand for the screen.obnoxious..thts 400 dollars!!!
i searched ebay and found digisters selling for about 60 dollars..
my question is shuld i go ahead and buy .what is exctly a digitiser ,,
i dont want to find out after spending the money that its not a digitser problem,,is there nyway to acertain its digitser proble..i no more trust my dealer
400 dollars? that is half a hd2.
the upper layer of the screen is afaik the digitizer.
touchscreen is built of two elements. the lcd and the digitizer.
the digitizer is for handling touch. that may be the part which cracked and is not responding now.
however I am not sure if it's easy to replace the digitizer since you must seperate the lcd and digitizer which are tied closely together. maybe someone experienced here on xda knows how.
ummmm..so u mean basicslly there are 3 components
1..outer most glass which we touch pysically
2..digitser which is embeded on
3 lcd screen
is the digitiser made up of plastic material which is crackable or in my case lcd whihc is 3rd layer has cracked while digitser is intact
unfortunatly cannt post snaps as the instrument is with dealer..
Hello everyone!
Like the title reads, I dropped my phone facing the screen and landed on a rock!
To make matters worse, I just learned that when switching from the N4 to the LG V20, my insurance protection was taken away from my account.. I'm livid because I only used my insurance twice in 6 years!
Before calling in and giving the poor rep a piece of my mind, I would like to ask here what have anyone done in a similar scenario and how would you go about fixing the phone without insurance, in case I can't get TMO to reinstate it.
The worse part of all of this is that I can't just call and say "my screen is broken" and use the insurance thru TMO.. Yikes!
I did not have (still don't have) a screen protector but want to fix the screen while I wait for an actual protector.
Pretty much, what options exist for my particular case?
Thanks everyone in advance!

Just get a few quotes from repair stores
If it's just a broken outer glass with the lcd functioning properly it should be quite an inexpensive fix ($7 USD + labour)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replace-front-New-Touch-screen-outer-glass-Lens-For-LG-V20-H990-/322358040572?hash=item4b0e0957fc:g:iioAAOSw5cNYOpqk
if the whole screen needs replacing it would be a bit more expensive ($100 USD + labour):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V20-H910-H915-H918-H990-VS995-LCD-Display-Touch-Digitizer-Assembly-Frame-/272424557440?hash=item3f6dc4db80:g:dw8AAOSwB09YPpXM
The thing I've discovered from the past phones that I've repaired is that the digitizer is adhered to the lcd screen and is difficult if not nearly impossible to separate from each other.
The lg V20 is one of the easiest phones to repair. Replacing the entire screen looks to be a simple task.
Nevermind, I looked at the replacement screen and it seems that the front glass is just that and only adhered by the top and bottom. If that is the case then the $7 option is quite possible. I've replaced a similar glass before and it was only slightly difficult cleaning the broken glass off.
You can find out which option is needed with two simple questions.
1) Is your LCD cracked? Just turn it on and you can see if there is any color bleeding.
2) Does your touch screen still work 100%? Click around to find out.
If your in great standing with T-Mobile and relatively polite they may reinstate the insurance for you to use if it wasn't that long ago.
Thankfully in India we have a 6 month one time screen replacement offer by LG which I plan to use this Saturday as from nowhere I see a deep scratch on my front glass however the screen functions fine.

Let a buddy hold my phone and my luck kicked in, he dropped it. It was a very light fall and only have it 2 cracks on the edge and one hairline Crack across the screen. Phone works fine and I can see and touch everything. I've heard it's pricey to replace the screen on this thing because the screen assembly is one piece? Meaning I can't just buy the glass? Any advice or helpful links to reputable sites would be greatly appreciated. I've always just bought a new phone when I Crack my screen but this phone cost too much to just sell off for cheap. Thanks in advance
I need some help guys. No repair shop will touch the phone without replacing the glass and lcd and charging $399. I've seen multiple people claim to have changed the glass only and looking online that part isn't expensive at all. If anyone can confirm their success I may make the attempt to do it my self. I've already spent $400 on this phone so I'd like to spend as little as possible to fix it
Called every shop I could and all said it would he anywhere from 350-400 for the whole lcd assembly. I asked every store (in my state and neighboring state) if they could just replace the glass and all said no. So my question is if anyone reading this has a link to a reputable site to get the lcd assembly, under $270 if possible. And lastly, if I buy the necessary tools and watch videos, what's the chances of messing up the phone replacing the WHOLE lcd assembly, if I've never used a heat gun to remove glass? I've replaced the lcd assembly on my lg g2 but the back being plastic eliminated the need for any heat. I'm lost and don't want to spend $400 more.
No way to replace only the glass without risking damage to the AMOLED screen or digitizer. The screen is glued together, and a slight force will cause the screen to shatter. If you want to take that risk, you can go ahead and look up a tutorial, but it seems to be very difficult to only replace the glass and not the entire assembly(Thats why repair shops don't do them as the chance of failure is too high)

What's the cheapest option? Buy the whole lcd assembly and change it my self? Or pay samsung and wait? I bought this second hand from a guy who come to find out still owed payments so no insurance route is possible. I'd have to send in my phone and wait

Well, cheapest option is to do as you said, replace the glass. But if you fail during the process, your only bet would be to replace the whole assembly, and even if you had warranty, that would be completely voided. So if you are going to replace the assembly anyway, might be worth a try to separate the glass, and replace only the glass. And if it fails, you can just replace the entire assembly. But if you plans to send it to Samsung anyway, I would suggest you to do that without any diy modification to the device. If you are planning to buy the assembly, make sure you get a genuine OEM screen. I saw a lot of fake China lcd assembly, and S7 have amoled at much better resolution.
I had a S6, and display while glueing? itself off, cracked the whole amoled screen completely. And Edge is even more dangerous. So all You can do is to pretty much either replace it Yourself (not too difficult if You ask me) but You will eventually make it not waterproof anymore. And You might break something while fixing it(like the paint or the back panel, although paint 90%) and then You will have to pay even more. Or just take it to repair service, pay.. I don't know. 50-100$ more and get a professional repair without any risk. And if it's going to be made by Samsung, You still might have waterproof phone after that. So I guess You should take it to a repair service. 50-100$ more, but trust me. You will most likely mess up the pain and ruin Your phone visually. As well as You will need to buy tiny screw drivers, some flat plastic tool, and adhesive tape. And sometimes using a hair dryer to open the back, will destroy some components inside. So be careful with that as well.
Or sell Your friends kidneys and pay for the repair
This sucks dude. I could literally purchase a nexus 6 for less than the price to fix this phone. I've looked at every phone out right now and nothing catches my eye like this one. I'd almost opt to buy the 3t before spending 400 to have a shop repair this one
If ur friend has insurance maybe they would pay for it. If not.
A new screen costs around 200$ from ebay or etrade supply. Those one come even without a samsung logo like the models in asia. Which imo looks super cool. If you a that screen transfering the old stuff isn't that hard. And there are many tutorials online. Maybe you could split? I mean he dropped it even if it's on accident he could give like 100$ then you have to spend 100$.
You could sell ur S7 edge. Trust me if it's just cracked and everything else is working you will find someone that buys it. In Germany you could get something between 250€~ 300€ for that. And then you spend again maybe 200€ and get a new or used one thats in good condition.
There are few options that you have. I wouldn't go to repair shops because they are often overpriced and don't treat ur stuff well.
And one last thing. Forget about replacing only the glas because that is impossible.
So if I buy the whole lcd assembly, all I need to do is heat up the back, cut the adhesive with a guitar pick, remove screws and unhook the connectors and replace?
yes exactly like that. like i said there are a ton of guides like on ifixit or on youtube. bur instead of a guitar pick i would you a playing card or pokemon card or something. the guitar pick or metal tools can scratch the backplate and the "sticker".
Unfortunately my screen broke, the LCD is working fine, and recognizes touches.
Is it possible to change only the glass and digitizer? Eg
I'm afraid of LCD panels from eBay. The service said that warranty is void at all events (even if they repair it).
I'm currently in the same situation. Any update on your phone's screen?
A local repair shop can't fix it unless I buy a panel myself and let them fix it for me. I want to know what I need if the glass is broken, but touches and LCD are fine: just glass or a complete screen replacement, like this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Rau...Panel-Replacement-for-Xiaomi/32835465822.html .
I will order a complete LCD panel with frame and try to replace myself. But I don't know if they are the same quality as original.

Let us know when you do! Please also specify which replacement you bought. It's a good idea to document these things, because in the coming years many more people will break their screens, unfortunately, but we can help them finding out what screens are worth buying.
I'm especially interested in touch performance and LCD similarity to the original. If you could pay attention to those properties and comment on them when you know, that would be really helpful.
Never try replacing one yourself, no matter how tempting and easy it looks on youtube videos, without proper gears and experience, you will end up damaging the whole panel. I know because I tried and failed myself and ended up buying the whole front panel with the LCD.
It will be much cheaper to buy it off ebay and let a experienced guy do it.
Did you tried with LCD+frame kit? It looks much easier that way. What happened exactly?

I was trying the glass with digitizer which was pretty much cheap, which needs to be removed with proper gears and lot of patience with a heat gun(I have seen local shop guys doing it without them with ease), It was an old samsung s3 which I kept to experiment on, ended up buying the whole front assembly which I did installed successfully(made me feel a lot better). That looks easy and there is less of chance of any breaking, unless you are very careful in removing all the tiniest sensors and wire and put them accordingly, but then you have to carefully pick the whole assembly there are plenty of low quality ones around, where you might get one that gives issues. for instance on Samsung s3 it was an original amoled display. but I got one that was an LCD panel display and there were issues where brightness sensor didn't worked at all.
Your best bet would be an original LCD+frame kit, I don't know if you really can get one off ebay.
So my three advices.
1. try to get only the glass with digitizer off ebay(If your Display works), then let a local expert change it. much cheaper and let you avoid getting a low quality LCD panel.
2. If it's your first time, I would suggest doing it on a cheaper phone to test your skills, I wouldn't recommend doing it for first timers who have no experience of doing it. there is high possibility that you might break a sensor or a wire.
3. if you want to go ahead with a whole new kit from ebay, make sure you check it without removing any sticker, and connect that display with the motherboard and see if the display is really good and make sure you check the brightness and touch. only if you are satisfied then go ahead, or return the product.
Thank you for the advices!
I couldn't find anybody, who can replace only the glass and digitizer.
The screen and digitizer work fine, only the glass is broken.

I saw MiA1 LCD panel, Touchscreen and digitizer which is around $39-$46 on ebay, while I couldn't find just the glass with Digitizer. I think the best bet right now would be with the full kit with LCD. as they aren't selling without the LCD at the moment.
Although I would suggest you keep the original LCD panel with broken glass,(don't try to remove it yet, let the glue wear off itself until then) in case they do start to sell in future the glass with digitizer only. There could be a next time(who knows? or you can just sell that to someone), where you will at least have an original LCD, these things break very easily. be sure to keep them safe, and if you feel confident enough, you can try it yourself, just be careful with the glue, and the pins. go gentle, it's a surgery. best of luck!

I love advices like that.U r smart.
I've also cracked my screen.... happened yesterday when I accidentally dropped it on concrete. Touch is working fine, only glass is broken.
So would be buying only the digitizer like this one: goo.gl/ZDPoFd do its job if I let it do at the local repair shop or buy the whole LCD as mentioned above?

You're going to need to ask your local repair shop. Some shops will be able to replace the digitzers, others only do the full LCD assembly. Again others will not even accept repairs where you bring in the parts, they'll source the parts themselves.

I've contacted a local repair shop and said they couldn't do only the digitizer, but they can do the whole LCD repair which will cost me 25 euro. Now I have to find the right one..... as you have so much variant on Ebay and Alie. U have a suggestion on which one to choose?
My MI A1 display is craked .but display is working and phone functions are working .just I ask you if I using the craked display for long time is it problem come.phone sold 3 days ago so I cannot want to repair the lcd. .Plz advice
I bought this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...izer-Display-For-Xiaomi-MiA1/32831902856.html
I let a local phone repair shop do the repair for me. They did a great job. The screen itself is also great. I think it could be an original, as I can't tell any difference. The colours seem the same, it measures up to 10 simultaneous touches (like the original), the performance feels identical. I recommend this screen! I've also left a review with pictures on Ali Express, but it's still being processed.
I ordered a white screen for my black Mi A1, so now I have a stormtrooper! (or panda, whatever you want...)
Screen plus repair in total about €60, well worth it IMO. It's quite a fraction of the original purchase price, but hey, I shouldn't have dropped the phone after a month. I've also ordered a plain black back cover to help me better grip the device.

The colours seem the same, it measures up to 10 simultaneous touches (like the original), the performance feels identical. I recommend this screen! I've also left a review with pictures on Ali Express, but it's still being processed.
I ordered a white screen for my black Mi A1, so now I have a stormtrooper! (or panda, whatever you want...)
Screen plus repair in total about €60, well worth it IMO. It's quite a fraction of the original purchase price, but hey, I shouldn't have dropped the phone after a month. I've also ordered a plain black back cover to help me better grip the device.

Yes! See attached images. The LED also works, but isn't on in the pictures.

You are lucky then, because it's common for Xiaomi that the buttons won't lite when replacing screen.

I didn't know that! It wouldn't have been bad, because I don't like the button backlight at all: it's on for too short, it's too bright, it's not like I can't find the buttons and it's not like I don't know what functions the buttons have... I hope we can turn it down or off in the stock ROM in the future!
