You must see my Touch! Broken screen!!

Well, When I arrived to my home to lunch today I was to check my Touch to send a message and I saw this! (See attachment)
I really don't know what happened! the phone doesn't suffered a hit or drop! the screen surface doesn't have any scratch.
Oh well, I will order a new screen from here...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290160074209
What do you think?

Ouch..sorry

i've drop mine few month back, puting my touch between my lap while i step out from my car. #@#$%!
send back to HTC Distributor cost me couple of hundred. LCD broken is Touch weakness. my previous 838pro drop twice doesnt even break the lcd.

ouch. that's a broken touch

Same happend with mine too... Some where I must have put a pressure on my touch while I had it on my pant pocket... Screen cracked in to pices... Had to spend 100$ to get it changed by HTC... I dont know how to protect, it was inside the pouch which came along with touch...

It does state in HTCs documents with the phone not to keep it in your pocket, but this is the first time I heard of damage as a result!

I have almost had the same things.... the screen cracked but without having any pressure.. I have always the touch in my pocket in the pouch but everything is still working fine there is just a crack in the screen but it looks like a 1cm long scratch .. and if I put a little pressure it's like moving (left part move apart from the right part) but I can't use it normally .. I have been so lucky !
how can we be responsible for having to press hard to use it but the screen is easy broken .... it's really baaaaad !! it's not our fault if they did something conflicting !

ohh I'm so sorry man, because of that I'm still thinking to choose between a HTC Elf or the Kaiser one, I have read some german test about the Elf and other pocket phones and they warned specially about carrying the Elf on your pocket. Anyway the price and the shipping price are OK, but don't you have an authorized distributor for HTC's produtcs in Venezuela? If you do the work by yourself you will loose the warranty.
In Venezuela they will say "que coñazo"

i bet this will happen more often w/ touch & touch slider. the screen is even w/ housing unlike other htc pda's which have the screen recessed into housing. just look at all the broken iphone's on ebay already.

Keys in the same pocket? happend once to my MP3 plyer

I had the same experience. Turned my touch off and placed it on my desk, the next morning there was a tiny crack in the bottom left corner and the entire screen was shining Whit e(like a screen full of dead pixels).
I could still use the PDA on my PC using mymobiler. HKD$500 to get repaired even though I tried to prove that I never dropped it or scratched the screen.
I suspect some of the Touch's have faulty manufacturing, but with screen cracks its impossible to prove that you didn't damage it yourself.

@ #6
Not a dig at you, but that document
Hahahaha so where do they suppose you keep your phone when your out? hold it in full view of the public?

Damn, is there an application/software that can fix that? Just teasing. Seriously though, that's tragic. I believe the more advance devices become, the more sensitive it is. I think way off in the distant future, high tech devices will come with a metal casing or something. I lent my girlfriend, of four years, my unlocked sony ericsson p910i phone. She shattered the lcd by accident by having keys in her pocket. She then asks me, can I fix it, lol.!!!

Bummer Dude,
but you can get a cheaper screen at cnn.cn

Thanks, I'll try this for the next one

pressure
this looks like a pressure problem. and although im not sure how it may of happened to you folks, but my girlfriends laptop did the exact same thing when we went to tibet.
tibet is so high up that the air pressure is quite low, like half of normal if not less, its really tough to breathe and canned foods almost explode when the pressure gets that low.
Now for you, and i'm just guessing here, but by any chance was it raining the day or the day before your screen broke? i mean low pressure system could of done it if its a really touchy device to begin with. have to remember, these things are made at or near sea level. if you live in high altittude, and a storm comes through it may just be enough to blow it out. I only say this because what i see on your screen and what happened to my girls ibook are nearly identical. Does the black blob move? she had three of them, and they would shift across the screen, not fast enough to watch, but noticeable over the course of a day or so.

that and combing it with a weaker screen with a error in it

as, i heard before from people having tach screens, is that it can crack very easlie, i have a friend how has the same problem with his Iphone, he just charge it, and when he wookup he found it all cracked and broken.
so from now on he need to charge it over work only

Ok, I replaced the screen, very easy to disarm the phone

Replacing X1 Housing

New here but thought Id share my experience of completely replacing the housing for my 10 month old X1. It can be done - even by a non techy person like me!!
Basically the keyboard was worn where it rubbed duiring open / close movement, the cover over the camera lense was cracked and there was general wear and tear. Could have sent it back under warranty but it would have taken an age and they would have charged me for all but keyboard probably.
Instead I bough a complete housing for £22 from here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Original-x1-xperia-Housing-Cover-Case-Housing-UK-T6_W0QQitemZ390078842052QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccessories_MobilePhoneFascias_JN?hash=item5ad282c4c4&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14They say they are used but mine was immaculate. Apparrantly when someone returns a phone during the 14 day money back period the innards get removed and put in a new case ready for resale. This guy buys the old cases. A real bargain I think as others are priced in the £50+ bracket.
Second you will need to be near a computer when you do the deed. Instructional videos taking you through every stage can be found here
http://www.mygsmtube.com/category/Sonyericsson.html
You will also need to assemble some tools. You will allready have the special screwdriver needed for 2 of the screws in your phone (comes with your new case) but you will also need a small cross head watchamkers screw driver for all the rest. Additionaly I found that I used tweasers and a small pair of bull nose pliers. As I dont bite my nails lol, I managed to seperate the clip together casings using my thumbnail otherwise you will need a thin, stiff piece of plastic (they use what looks like a plectrum in vids) Finally and very importantly, you will need a workmat. Unlike on the video I discovered that things fall out of the phone when you take it apart and you definitely dont want them bouncing off a hard surface onto a floor never to be seen again!! I used a white towel for this.
Ok, I had to do mine twice before it was right so here are the reasons and I hope it means you will only have to go through it once!
1. When you take apart the back section of the phone buttons are likely to fall out / may not be present in new. Not sure which but found out camera button was missing only after I had completed reassembly!! No probs they just slot in and used one from the old case.
2. The little metal clips holding the battery cover in place can drop out. Watch out for these they are small and easily missed!
3. You have to pull apart a very small white electrical connection on the phone. Mine was very stubborn and in the end used the small bull nose pliers for better grip. It will come apart you just need to be firm and waggle it a bit!
4.When you take apart the front (screen) section of phone a small black rectangle of rubber falls out. Dont miss it as it keeps the optical joystick in place and gives it the push down springy effect. There is a similar shaped recess for it to fit in but I found that I had to make one side of it sticky in order for it to stay there during reassembley. After you finish assembling this bit check the joystick is properly in place and has that click feel - if not, that rubber pad is not right and you will need to re-do it.
5. Make sure you remove the speaker from the top part of the screen case (behind Sony Ericsson wording) from your old case and fit it in the new one. It just clips in and will come out with a little bit of gentle persausion and leverage. I didnt realise it was missing from my new case and panicked like mad when I couldnt hear anything on starting up!!
6. The most fiddely bit was attaching the ribon cable between the two parts. Take your time with this as you dont want to damage the connection by being too heavy handed. I discovered that the ribbon is longest when the phone is half closed/open. If you can keep it in that position you will have more ribbon to play with and it will be alot easier to lign the connection up.
Ok, the process isnt a walk in the park, I was nervous as hell doing mine (especially when it wasnt right the 1st time) but it wasnt half as bad as I thought so, it can be done....even by me lol!! and is well worth the effort - Good Luck

I have my case in a lil bad conditions and thought I would do the same as u did and change the case, but then I though I would wait a lil bit to get even worse, so that it'd be worth the hassle....
However since lately ma KeyBoard started going crazy, I decided to go with the video and open it to get some dust out....you won't believe it.....I got stuck at the very first step....can't remove the antenna cover, no matter what I do or use !!!

I replaced my housing to and i used this two movies on youtube. youre Instructional videos are removed by user so i wanted to post the youtube link. it is the same clip as yours i think.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyGUbxFqvyc

I really need to clean up my keyboard, but it is so complicated to do that, that I'll whait until it stops responding and then I'll try. Some keys are not fully functioning good anymore (you have to press harder to get the symbol), which it turned out to be a common issue with X1's keyboard. There are some cracks in the case ofcourse.
So I suppose, sooner or later I'll follow your lead on this

There are infact 4 vids - 2 disassembly and 2 assembly. Iff you are like me you will need all 4 lol. They are still up on the site I linked to, you just need to scroll down the menu of vids at the bottom right to find the X1 vids. The advatage with this is thay are all in one place, but the original source is YouTube.
darkhalf520, I can believe it!! I almost gave up a couple of times. With the clip on bits, sometimes you need to be quite firm with them

Forgot to mention
Not sure if it was clear on original post, but the new housing came with a keyboard also - mention this as keyboard probs seem to be quite common.

Thanks man, I'm going to do this in about a year, Silver to Black son!!!

crank1... three posts only and I already love You man. thanks! I've just ordered black one for myself as well. this price is a bargain.

I have the same problem like you. the space-bar doesn't work so good any more. a friend of mine lost his whole keyboard. but i don't think you can clean it you have to replace youre keyboard. i replaced mine xperia case and still the you have to press really hard for the space. i think the keyboard ""dies"" but i'm not sure. does more people have this problem??
and sorry Crank1 i looked at the wrong vids, My mistake

is the ebay selling original or oem? coz i saw 100% ORIGINAL xperia x1 HOUSING
14 DAY STOCK ------- GRADE A -------
Grade A mean oem?

from my understanding, OEM means Original, those cases for the 22lbs are real, just used... if you see fascia some other place then its possible it could be one from some other maker, fascias dont always fit either

Yes thats right, the cases are genuine & come from phones returned by customers under the 14 day returns policy that some retailers have. The Grade A refers to the quality / condition. As I said the one I got was mint.

I found this on cnn.cn for 79.99USD, any feedback for the site anyone? Should i get the used one or the new one? Is the new one worth it? thank you

just got mine, as op stated - almost perfect condition. I'll swap it as soon as my little curious son will go for his nap.
in the package I've got full unbranded black housing, including keyboard.
[EDIT]
all done and I am sooo damn impressed. the black one looks better imho. the only problem I had, was that those two covers for screws next to camera were not included, so I had to paint my old ones black. after that I've used some clear nail top coat polish from my wife's drawer and it looks brand spanking new.
thanks again for the heads up crank1.

No Problem bronx. Great to hear that all went well.

I maked my xperia also black. it is like you said it looks better and the same color problem with the two covers. but i have a hard case so this new Black wouldnt be damaged or get scratches.

Just changed mine from silver to black. looks the nutts , wasnt to tricky if u take ur time

instructions
Btw if anybody needs them there are Sony Ericsson's full disassembly and reassembly instructions at http://rapidshare.com/files/155696508/Guide_Working_Instructions_Mechanical_X1i.pdf.html . I found them much more useful than the video.
Still not for the fainthearted though. Bits have to be unstuck and restuck (some form of EM resistant tape) and the instructions leave you still with small bits of plastic stuck to the covers at the end. And now my earpiece buzzes most alarmingly. But I do have a fully chromed X1!

Also, attached is Sony Ericsson's software for testing all the features of X1, so that you can check everything works properly after you reassemble.

For those who replaced their X1 housing - How long did it take for the whole process?
Thanks!

[Q] screen problem or even worst?

so i'm having a huge problem with my nexus 4
Yesterday i raged whislt playing soccer and in rage i slammed my pants on the bench. With all my luck, the phone ( has cover ) had to be just under and my belt slammed bulls-eyes in the middle of the phone screen. The screen did not shatter. i looked at the damage and i saw vertical stripes(not physical damage) aroUnd the middle of the phone (about where my belt really had impact). soon after, the phone screen strated to act like old tv screen ( gets kinds off blurry) and now when i open the phone the stripes are still there ( the old tv effect too ofc) but the color of the screen intensifies towards black and slowly fades to pitch black. Ive sent to myself screenshot of the phone to my email and its perfect so can't be a system error. So i ask, is it the screen that is broken and should be replaced. Is is a composent of the phone that is damaged and its idk cant transmit the information. Or is my phone simply done.
extra: every time i open now, the phone randomly rages and it start activiting touches on the screen for like 6 sec in a row. So if im a text things il like zoom in and out click things and write stuff like " oiwdqsaPIFUWEOPFNiofvpsdhirfWE;" happens once when i turn on the screen and redoes it every time i open it again

Next time you rage, buy tempered glass screen protector for your phone, then you can throw it without breaking the screen. Also try herbal tea.
Now about the screen, I'm not really clear from what you said maybe posting photos of it would be easier. If the actual LCD under the digitizer is broken then you need a whole new screen assembly, they usually go for a little more than $100 on ebay. Should be easily to replace, you just need a T5 torque screwdriver to open the phone.
If the digitizer is broken only, then also buy a new screen assembly, because its a pain in the arse to replace it with this device. But there are instructions on youtube to replace just the digitizer if you want to attempt.

LCD assembly are $140 shipped on eBay. OEM brand new

update i attached photos of my phone. Hopefully it will mean more then the txt i wrote

I would take it apart to check for loose connections before spending any money. If you are not comfortable taking it apart, send it out for repair.

OP2 Display damage after heavy rain

Dear xda,
while being on holiday in South-East Asia, I got into some pretty heavy rain and my OnePlus 2 obviously didn't like the rain - the display seems to be broken since. Unfortunately I tried switching the phone on shortly after the water contact (because I needed it for navigation) and the display worked just fine while the phone seemed to be stuck software-wise (although now from a retrospective point of view it could have been that already then the display was somehow having issues).
I did put it in dry, uncooked rice just a few hours after the water contact and kept it there for a few days, with the SIM-Tray ejected and the back cover taken off. Still, after a few days, I tried switching it on again and I could notice that is was booting up just fine (I could see the capacitative buttons lighting up and even got some notification sounds after it booted up), but the display remained black
Back home I removed not only the SIM-Tray and the back cover but also the "inside cover" as well as the battery (it then looked like THIS) and put the phone back into rice for another 2 days. After that I reassambled the phone and tried switching it on again - still the display wasn't working.
After disassembling the phone again and taking the battery out, I put the remaining parts of the phone into the oven at about 45°C = 113°F for about 2h. But that didn't help either.
Is there any advice as how to maybe get my display working again? Maybe some cable or connection inside the phone that I could inspect or disconnect and reconnect? The process of buying a display on eBay and replacing the display seems to be rather complicated (due to the fact that the display is glued to the frame as from what I could see on ifixit.com) and I don't want to damage more than I already did while maybe the repair attempt doesn't help at all.
Does anyone have any experience/insight regarding how much it would cost me to open a repair ticket with OnePlus and let them repair/replace my display unit?

Guess it would cost around 200USD since the display is one of the costliest components in the phone. Not sure if it's only the display issue though. The water might have done some serious damage to the board itself.

100$ easily

My replacement screen cost me 30$ including shipping to Sweden, bought on Aliexpress, top notch quality nothing to complain on quality wise .

I too considered buying a replacement screen on ebay or aliexpress. But I don't think I feel confident enough to take the necessary steps to replace the screen, because you seem to have to "unglue" the old screen and glue the new screen back on the frame (Sources: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/OnePlus+2+Screen+Replacement/51922#s115570 and https://youtu.be/Q1b5Ut5kTRM?t=4m).
Is it easier to do than I think? Did you face any issues while replacing it? Can you see or feel a difference with the new screen compared to the original one (i.e. does it perfectly fit into the frame without protruding)?

It was pretty straight forward and simple. I just applied heat to screen using a hairdryer and the used the included suction cup to gently loosed the screen from the adhesive using a credit hard to pry away the glue and then removed the connections to the screen and the touch-buttons and home button from the backside and then removed the screen. Then I moved over the home button and touch buttons to the new screen, applied some 3M adhesive strips on the frame after removing the old adhesive, put the screen back in place and reconnected the collectors, pushed the screen in place in the frame and heated it a bit too make sure the adhesive sticks and then screwed everything back in there and put on the back case. Done and done!

Ok I think I am gonny try tro buy a screen on aliexpress and replace it myself. Do you think this one should do?

well maybe you guys can help me out here i did the steps to replace the fingerprint sensor but now my screen wont stay glued , i have not been able to find the glue for the screen anyone can help with that by any chance ?

For me, the old adhesive came off with the old screen. But I did some cleaning with alcohol just to be sure.

LG V20 screen replacement!!!!!

Hey guys. I recently broke my LG V20 (AT&T varient.) It is just the top screen and not tbe LCD Digitizer. The 2nd screen is completly fine and its the main screen that's broken. Does anybody know a good tutorial and a good source to get tbe part ASAP?
Thanks in advanced.

As someone else said,youtube.
In the amount of time waiting for a reply, you could have just Googled the question.
And, the second screen, I do believe, is a single physical screen, partitioned by software. If one is trashed, both are I believe.

Thank you. I understand Youtube and Google. The problem with that is there are only like 3 videos, and each video the process is slightly different. When I try and search for the part, I find the glass/LCD digitizer ranging in price from $100-130. This is fine but the problem is I don't want to wait a few weeks to receive it, since all of the places I've found that sell it can't do expedited shipping, and if they do, they are all sold out. Lastly, I also found JUST the top layer of glass (no not a tempered glass protector, the actuall replacement) for only around $10-$20 in price, but there are ZERO videos on Youtube for that process, and a few people in the comments have even asked about this, with no luck.

A combo of multiple things....
This is a relatively new phone. Won't be lots of how tos available for one.
Second, what you are asking about is not a simple fix.
It requires either extreme cold such as, liquid nitrogen or 90% alcohol and dry ice cold. Or extreme heat. You either embrittle the glue with cold and peel it off in pieces or soften via heat and pull it loose in pieces. You run risk of killing your digitizer. Plan ahead accordingly.
You also *will* kill the polarizing layer in between digitizer and glass. Be prepared to replace this as well. Anyone who says otherwise is fibbing, IMO.
Then, you need something to remove the bubbles from the LOCA glue and gorilla glass sandwich.
Then reassemble.
Again: with the phones age, and a small supply chain in place due to the devices age, don't expect much in the way of how tos, or parts.
tl;dr
Not a simple fix. Chances are high you wont get it back to stock without a good technique and some moderately expensive tools.
Edited to add... There's a reason you find very few glass sellers, and lots of people selling digitizer/glass combos. .. The odds of a ****ed job are sky high, esp with phones with curved glass, like Samsung garbage.

On my V10 my front screen had cracked. Rather than try to replace just the digitizer I bought a dead V10 on eBay and replaced the full screen housing from that phone with my motherboard. Much easier to replace full screen assembly if you can find that way.

Fixez - LG V20 Screen with Frame
Just thought I would "help" other LG V20 owners; but I just finished replacing the screen on mine after dropping it on the concrete floor in the parking garage at work. It actually landed face down and I had a crappy Incipio case, so it was a spiderweb of cracks although it still ran fine for 3 months until the lines got thicker and thicker.
Anyway, I ordered a replacement Screen with Frame from Fixez.com and just know that it is NOT OEM or even close. I got my phone working; but just some notes for anyone else who finds this and tries to replace the screen themselves.
Most YouTube videos out there are NOT accurate and you will end up having to "move" extra parts they do not show.
I got the FRAME replacement; but I think it would have been BETTER without because all the tiny pieces are GLUED onto the frame.
You MUST have the tools, especially that tweezer one and get a Hair Dryer, because the parts are TINY and GLUED so easier to loosen.
I broke the Headphone Jack, because the connectors are basically membranes, which is why I think you should just replace SCREEN.
I forgot to clean my front facing camera; but I cleaned the two rears ones, so just make sure you "alcohol and air spray" clean before closing.
It is beyond blurry and I do not want to take it apart; but it could actually be the "low quality" peephole, which is creating "flare and blur".​
Once I finished and turned it on, I was overjoyed; but after a week I can "see" more problems and just be aware that you really need OEM.
Problems:
Secondary Screen does not "show" when Main Screen is OFF; but it worked with original screen once option enabled.​The top part is not white-white; but just a "hair off" and it is like an "oval thumb circle" and might have been "touched" during manufacture.​Put some Arctic Silver CPU compound; because this "knock off" runs HOTTER and the first few boots felt like a "burn in" sequence.​There is no LG Logo at the bottom of the screen; so if you decide to "sell" it later, then it will be obvious that you are selling "refurbished".​The battery seems to drain faster; but I also noticed it does not "like" a FULL charge and runs nice and cold when lower battery charge.​Headphone jack broken. Does not light up when I look at screen. Sometimes "double tap" (KNOCKON) does not work correctly.​Sometimes I have to press Power Button twice to turn on screen. Sometimes it is once. Basically "sensors or integration" seem to have issues.​I just miss how the "little things" used to work perfectly, even when it was cracked.​
Basically, this screen feels like a cheap Chinese "knock off"; but I went for the "cheapest option" I found out there and you get what you pay for, so it works, but I hope this helps someone else out there to make an informed decision. Remember, Fixez (and ALL OTHERS) have a NO RETURN policy; because basically they state that it must be in NEW RESELLABLE condition and you are going to be sticking things, bending wires and removing plastic tabs. So do not listen to anyone and these repair shops will NOT return your money once you try to DIY.
If I had to do it again, then I would have spent more time looking for a screen with the LG Logo and at least try to get something with some OEM "guarantee or promise"; which Fixez NEVER made and I just went for Low Price and USA Based. Might have been better to get something OEM from Asia; because I got ganked anyway and I suspect this screen is going to shorten the lifespan of what was a beautiful LG V20 - H918 from T-Mobile.
:crying:

Does anyone know how to find a decent quality replacement of the glass and digitizer? I'll certainly keep the ease of 'no frame' in mind. I would like an oem product for sure. But I want my phone back asap, so I'll take what I can get
