So about a month ago I dropped my glacier and the screen cracked. I bought a new screen that's on its way yesterday with intent of replacing it... Today I was talking on my phone and the sound stopped working unless on speaker phone.. This is definitely a result of cracking screen because there is a big crack under the ear price. Has anyone replaced this part and/or have any knowledge on how to replace

My girlfriend had butter fingers and managed to drop my 2 week old Legend on the floor. Cracked the screen. LCD still works, and touch is still working as well.
HTC wont cover this will they?
I assume the digitizer is cracked. I've been looking around for documentation to see if I can replace it, but haven't had much luck. Anyone got any ideas?
These may help :

Issues after replacing digitizer and/or display?
Do you have insurance through your carrier? If so they might cover it

I highly doubt HTC will cover that, to be honest. Screens don't just crack, ergo you must have dropped it or bashed it and they don't cover that. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if you took the phone insurance with the provider when getting it, they usually cover accidental damage.
Last resort- got home contents insurance? That usually covers accidental.
insurance, if your gf dropped it they should cover it...
Well last night y I was out with my gf in town my phone got nocked and fell on the ground. Its only the glass that's broken lcd and touch still works fine the huge crack is annoying tho any just wondering would ot just be the digitizer? If soo any idea what the cheapest way to get them? I'm from aus any help would be great

Should we consider this as proof that the wildfire does have indeed Gorilla Glass?

I can't believe that video really. It was just uploaded yesterday. I lost my nerve when he used the knife there.
I always had a fear that what happens if my wildfire falls down. Wildfire looks to be slim, delicate and more weighted. Initially i felt like having barely visible scratches on my phone. Then i spent some money on having screen protector (it is wildfire specific & costed a little more than normal). My screen protector is excellent and it is so nice that none of my friends noticed the presence of it. Now im not gonna remove my screen protector and experiment on my phone. I hope my screen protector will be as long as my wildfire will be. I also got a strong pouch (it was actually the one for G8) to get rid of my fear. I love both of them.

Mine has fallen down like 5 times,( there are 2 times it fell down from 1 meter height) and nothing happen , I'm serious
Lol , 1st time mine hit the hard wood floor , my buddy was playing with it saying nice feel not too big when he flicked it face down at the floor
few more little bumps and scraps
Then i was building a bike. Bent over with it in my top pocket - slammed onto a large socket, i dreaded picking it up , one small scratch
not sure if its gorilla but they are tough , my bro has smashed 3 iphones
Actually I dropped mine couple of times. After the first couple of the falls, nothing really happened. Not even a scratch. However, after the last drop (a big one), nothing happened to the glass and the touchscreen covering the lcd, but the lcd underneath got messed up. I had to replace it with another lcd i purchased from ebay.
So the glass is pretty tough, however the inner parts of the phone not so much...

mine fell a few times and nothing happened (I always wondered if my screenprotector has a positive effect on toughness or not). A friend of mine accidently dropped his wildfire though, and his screen is broken in many many places (same for another friend with a desire).
Golla glass is nnot scratxh proof
I wish my screen was that tough. If it was then i wouldnt have 2.2.1 because while looking for it on my sofa. I. Kinda. Knelt on it. Screen made a pop. Next thing i see is a glass shattered wildfire. Sent it off for repair. Came back with 2.2.1

That's unfortunate. And that's the thing everyone with rooted wildfire has to be aware of. Even if they are under warranty, they had to think whether to use warranty or not (for hardware problems).
And so I think gorilla glass doesn't mean it sustains the damage when hit hardly with a rock.

helllo. guys I have confirmed that the wildfire have a gorrila glass......

The oldest htc desire got an amoled screen whereas the latest htc desire got an slcd screen.
I'm not sure, but there might be a chance that the older wildfire didn't get gorilla glass and the newly manufactured wildfire might have got it. Because we see the videos supporting both the opinions.

Anyone ever replace the screen on the fassy? Had one small crack in the corner and just saw a second one going across most of the face. Love my phone but it will drive me nuts. Upgrade in March will probably take me away from the fascinate......sad.
You can get a replacment screen (glass part) for like $25.
And that sucks.
I sorry.
It has a tough glass screen. Very tough.
where did you drop it?
I've took apart a non working fassy.
Its really easy. If your brave. And have the tools to do so.

Don't have the tools unfortunately. Dropped it in the locker room at the gym.....hit my foot first too....very odd that it even cracked.
I have been using a cracked screen for a while now xD 3 months so far and its fine I just haven't had the time to get the repair kit

When I replaced my screen, I just followed the youtube videos explaining how to do it. I found them very helpful.
I was under the impression that the glass (digitizer) is fused to the LCD and cannot be replaced separately. If anyone has successfully replaced just the glass please reply in this thread because I too have been using my fascinate for a couple months with a cracked screen and would really like to replace the glass without replacing the LCD.
I think the best way to check the phone's build quality, is to see how it looks like after more than two years of usage.
So, in what condition is your Vibrant right now? Have you ever replaced broken parts?
Mine : Purchased March 2011
The screen is very scratched, camera lens is cracked (I removed it and now I use it without the plastic lens), the SD card reader is partly broken, the card doesn't stay in. The silver paint around the screen went off almost completely, and now it's just grey plastic.
And I have replaced 2 parts - the back speaker, and the front speaker which also includes the sensors and headphones jack on the same cable.
So overall it didn't fare very well. It did fall many times, but I always had a case on. The scratches are because I never put a screen protector, I just don't like them.
So I ordered a N4. But I still like my Vibrant, will keep it as a music player and a backup phone.
Mines in pretty good condition. Cracked screen but everything else is finw

Very solid. Bezel has a few small chips in it but they're hardly noticeable. No issues with broken parts or a broken screen, even without a screen protector.
Only complaint is still being EU'd.
Mine is great accept for a small chip in the bezel. I a lease have a case on it

Dude you better get an otter box for that n4. Sounds like your vibrant got beet up and that n4 will shatter if you drop it from about as hogs as your pocket

Bought this phone as soon as it came out (late 2010 I believe). The paint on the bezel is chipped slightly but other than that its in perfect condition. I have had a screen protector on it since I bought it so no scratches at all on the screen. Dropped this phone hundreds of times and never once cracked the screen or anything for that matter (knock on wood).
Ps: Never caught the EU bug either (knocks on wood again).

I'll jump in...this phone is a beast!!! I had it since new Aug of 2010 for 2 years and after that it went to my 2 year old (now 3) as an mp3 player for lullabyes and wiggles music. Now a year later, against my better judgement mind you, she has to have her phone. Screen is still perfect as is everything else except the bezel. I purchased 2 extra batteries that came with a charger for ten bucks and this phone hasn't been plugged in for two+ years. The Vibrant is and always will be the best phone ever. Granted I needed a bigger screen but even my S2 can't compare. Samsung and T-Mobile wrote this phone off just months after release (Vibrant 4G which wasn't as good) giving us just one real upgrade because of a petition and yet here we are 3 years later with the latest software that only a couple of brand new phones officially have....Viva le Vibrant, oh and never a screen protector or case. Oh and if it had a flash counter it would be broken as I flashed several time a day for months on end testing different stuf...Viva le Vibrant and Viva le Irish Car bombs and Guiness while we're at it FTW
