Cracked screen returns advice

I've cracked my screen
Went go-karting today and got thrown around so much in the kart that the screen cracked.
So, what's the best way about getting it repaired?
Can I just send it straight back to HTC UK and get the screen replaced under warranty? My phone is rooted, but not unlocked.

I have not returned a phone yet, but as many have stated, "it does not void your warranty to root, only to unlock the bootloader" so in theory you should just be able to send it in.

.....except that warranty won't cover a cracked screen.. I think the going rate was $280?

are you insured through assurion?

You broke it, you buy it.

I dropped my N1 on the floor in my house (stone floors) two weeks ago and cracked the glass screen.. picked up a new glass screen on ebay for $38 shipped and spent about two hours replacing it myself.. turned out perfect.. just be very patient and take your time during the replacement process.

This is the damage, I don't think the glass is broken so is it just the LCD screen beneath that I'll need to replace?

No, it's the digitizer/screen. The display would be a lot more expensive to replace.

Hi mate.. if the amoled still works you are fine yiu would just need a new digitalizer, about £20 from ebay and fix it youself.. if the amolded wkrks you need a new lcd, £45 from ebay.. i nroke my amoled, fixed it and now works.. good luck!!

If that's the case, then why when I power it on does nothing appear?
It vibrates when booting so I know its working?

when i dropped my nexus one, the amoled broke, not the outer screen/digitizer. i believe the cost for a new amoled was around $85 plus shipping and it would also cost your warranty. therefore, i sent it back in for repair and it cost $115 total, warranty still intact. btw, i opted for a refurb unit instead of waiting for them to return my damaged unit.
good luck, you have to decide if its worth voiding your warranty to fix it yourself.

Sorry I missed that part.. Yeah if it's not showing anything the display has problems, although I find it odd it would break but not the digitizer.

Yeah strange isn't it, anyway, HTC are collecting it tomorrow, I'll have an estimate for repair in a few days. No idea how much it's going to be just yet.

It is gonna be high! You wille get 3 options..1) fix the phone for a very high price 2) get the phone and pay around $40 for the labour and delivery 3) dispose of the phone for free by htc.. so pretty much re use the parts for another phone..
Not a sencible choice calling htc in my opinion

Having searched the internets I've found reports of people having it fixed by HTC UK for between £60 - £100
Also, I was told if I didn't want them to carry out the work there would be a £20 fee to return the phone to cover postage and the engineers time.
I think you're estimates are way off, however, I'm going to wait until I get my quote or I'll be eating my words...

I'm impressed t0ph0id, I accidently got a slight scratch on my week old N1, it's small but I know it's there and I'm really upset about it.
You have properly screwed the screen and you seem ok with it
Wish I could be as relaxed as that haha.

Hey buddy i had the same issue with my desire.. cracked in a similar way, HTC quoted me £238 for screen, housing, new logic board & labour.. even asked them just to replaced the screen cos i did see anything wrong with the housing but they said they couldn't do it cos motherboard had been bent..
so just got a replacement lcd from ebay at £45, took 45mins to fit the new screen everything working correctly
oh and the logic board wasn't bent! cheeky HTC

I've already spoken my mobile insurance and they repair/replace accidental damage so I know I can go through them if it's going to cost too much.
They'll repair, replace, give an alternative if they don't have the model or give a cash equivalent.

Yep haha, seems hard when yoyr trying to take it apart and not brake any bits off, but now.. soo proud of myself! Never thoughed I would ever be in my phone, sick thought, jehe

Cracked my N4's screen, unusable, where do I go from here? [UK]

So, it happened to me. Just my luck.
Was at university walking and the phone slipped from my hand onto the floor. It seemed to have survived that fairly well. Then it slid off the stairs (no barrier at the edge of the staircase going up my university) and fell about 8-10 feet onto the stair case below. Screen is ruined and unresponsive.
The phone is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader so I know this voids the warranty but I can lock the bootloader again and flash the phone back to the stock rom via cwm.
I bought the phone from Carphone Warehouse for £400 back in December because I couldn't wait and now I'm left with a brick. I need a phone to handle uni life and contact my fianceé in the States. I don't really want to have to spend money I don't have on a replacement N4 so is there anything I can do guys?
Any help at all will be extremely appreciated.
(I'd post a link to an image of the screen but cannot do so yet).
Thanks

Sorry to hear that, however the only option I think would've been better if you had phone insurance and it would replace your damaged phone and it would cost like 5 pounds a month. On the other hand maybe you can send it to Carphonewarehouse and see what the estimate is to get it repaired. Don't think rooted or not makes much difference in this situation.
Anyway good luck and hope you find some solution

Ouch, nightmare...
The only cheap way is to repair it yourself. If the mainboard is ok, get a new front and back panel. From the teardown I've seen of the Nexus 4, it doesn't seem that difficult. I'm sure there is a vid on youtube you can use as guide. If you can't do it yourself, a new phone seems to be the only option. At least it will be cheaper this time... Did you have a case on it when it dropped?

See that seems doable but the only problem is is the (is it aluminium?) that goes around the phone also got dented as it fell. This is even worse considering I actually DID have a case on it. I was using the Ringke Slim case. If anybody is using this case I highly recommend them to rethink their purchase because even though the phone hit the floor side on, it didn't protect it. Imagine if it hit face down. I have another generic 'S' silicone case from eBay and that would have done a far better job at protecting the sides. Shoulda, woulda, coulda eh?
Im wondering if LG's manufacture warranty will work in my favour at all? I just don't have the funds to replace the phone comfortably but that's the only option I see unfortunately.

I don't think you'll have any luck with warranty repair. Sorry about your phone though.

A coworker priced out replacing his front screen and it was ~$260usd.
At that point Id just order another phone and sell the first for parts.

Sell the phone for parts? How would that work? Im not very savvy with this side of phones. Do I sell the phone in its entirety to a company who buys things like that? Sell on eBay for really cheap trying to get whatever I can get?

I disagree. The only cheap way to do it is via insurance, 50 quid excess or whatever is a lot cheaper than the 150 pound screen is going to cost.

[Q] Screen replacement

So I dropped my nexus and the screen shattered. While it turns on and looks fine through the cracks, you can't actually use it. So, my question is, has anyone actually sent in their phone to have it replaced by LG? If so, how much did it cost? So far I've found places locally that will do it for $200+, which at that point I might as well just buy another phone.

It costs around 150 from what I heard. You can try calling google directly to get a better price maybe.

Yeah, I tried calling google and they just told me to call LG. I called LG but of course there wasn't anyone available right now to give me a quote on the cost. While searching Google I found one person who mentioned that they will replace the screen up to a cost of $100 and if it's over that they ship it back "totaled" without repairing it.
I was just curious if anyone had actually gone through this process.

I had mine replaced and it cost me $140. I actually got a refurbished unit, so they actually didn't replace the screen. The device I got was in mint condition and runs great. I had to ship mine to LG (which was in Fort Worth, TX). The turn around time was about 7 days, but since I live in Dallas, shipping to and from LG was next day. If you have any other questions about the process let me know.

Same here, $140. Except I got my phone back.
I'm not sure why you would've gotten a refurbished device just for a screen replacement though.
I'm in Houston and it took exactly a week for me as well.

Ok, $140 isn't that bad...more than I'd like to spend but it's less than having it done locally. Did you just call up LG and have them give you an address to ship it to?

I first called Google to get the number for LG, then called them directly. Make sure when you call LG you have your IMEI number because they can't process the return without it.

Or go to LG's site and fill out an RA request.
You can also email an LG rep from here or call if you'd prefer.

I did have a bumper case on mine, but it wasn't dropped. I tripped in a parking lot while holding my phone in one hand. So when I fell, I naturally put my hands down to break my fall and that they did. Also shattered my screen.

Shattered screen-FYI

So I pretty much shattered the front glass as I was getting out of my car my phone swung under my leg in my pocket and as I exited my car I put my weight down on the phone and a spring in the car seat. I wanted to cry.... SOOOOO, I called Asurion they want a $175 deductible, so I thought I would investigate and see if one of these cell phone repair places can get it any cheaper..FAT CHANCE. First off I was warned that if I let them fix it they would damage the housing beyond repair and they wanted $329 for the screen.
tldr; get a case and screen protector for this brilliant phone

No thanks.

That's a shame. Having read about other experience with shattered screens and camera lenses I was a little worried. Then my son drove over his (on a dirt road but still...) He dented the case a little and got a slight scratch on the screen... that was it.... Maybe it depends on the angle of the impact as to if they break or not. He did NOT have any protective case around it making it even more bizarre... but I still believe in them.
Good luck with it.

HTC does screen repairs for 180 USD and it will come back as if the screen never broke.

Sorry for your loss , I bought the case below from Amazon UK for £6.99, and it is immensely tough, the part that covers the screen is padded and i can hardly bend it, it`s so strong.

I can understand that. I only let her play under my supervision and with my permission. And only locked to her kid games. Once she is somewhere else or grabs it without telling me its gone. I'm not lax about it because I'm making payments on it. I agree with you there.

I didn't say they don't play with electronics. I said they don't play with my phone. I paid nearly $600 and do not intend on needing to send it off for repair when the inevitable happens.
My boys have a shared line on my account and use it to call and text family regularly. They also play games, search the web, watch videos and what not on their Amaze, my wife's extra tablet or her One S. Hell, I even let them use my GS3 occasionally as it is mainly a work email device.
They have also broken a G2 and a Kindle Fire and put dings and scratches on every device I listed above.
I still stand by what I said. My One is not a toy. Hand me downs are one thing but I understand that the chance of an accident is much higher with children and I choose to mitigate any risk.

Seems like it's cheaper to repair overseas than in the us. I don't have the money to spend 180 on screen repairs so close to the holidays. I think I'll sell this cracked one, then switch to my galaxy s1.

Doesn't make sense to spend nearly $200 on repairs for a problem that's affecting ~15% of my screen. I've been using my phone upside via rotation to overcome the dead zone.
However I cannot stand knowing a crack is on my phone, this is the first device I've allowed this to happen to ever.

They are just trying to rip you off. Call up the LG service care helpline if you haven't already and ask em about the prices. Because these repair centers are usually authorized one and can quote anything. Happened with my HTC sensation. They charged me Rs. 11000 for the screen and when I confirmed with HTC they said its for 4000 about 2 years ago. So be sure about getting it repaired anywhere. Hope things work out for you. Sad to see another device on its death bed.

Hello Rishav,
I dropped my Nexus 4 yesterday...the display is now cracked and unresponsive to touch, so I cannot get past the screen unlock pattern. I read your post that it costs Rs. 4500 to get the screen/digitizer replaced in India.
I was wondering if you know where I could get it done in Pune. I see that your location is Gurgaon but any info you have / could provide would be appreciated. I searched on Google for Nexus 4 repairs in Pune but haven't come across anything useful.
Thanks in advance!
Rahul

Just contacted LG via live chat, and apparently it'll be between 100 and $180. I'm going with 180 because the frame, digitizer, and screen are all damaged. Sadly I don't have $180 right now(have to worry about tuition, transportation, bills, etc.). Think I'll just sell it on eBay or whatever.

I was wondering if you know where I could get it done in Pune. I see that your location is Gurgaon but any info you have / could provide would be appreciated. I searched on Google for Nexus 4 repairs in Pune but haven't come across anything useful.
Thanks in advance!
Rahul

Just contacted LG via live chat, and apparently it'll be between 100 and $180. I'm going with 180 because the frame, digitizer, and screen are all damaged. Sadly I don't have $180 right now(have to worry about tuition, transportation, bills, etc.). Think I'll just sell it on eBay or whatever.

Hmm. That's bad. Well, in India the screen, digitizer and the silver bezel around the screen is for the price mentioned above. I'd suggest you keep the Nex for a while and get it fixed after a few months. I mean it's your call.

Think I need to take a trip to India LoL. Or, I could tell them I'm in the subcontinent of India, then say I recently moved to the us right after they fix it.

Hi I work in a phone repair shop in the uk. I don't recommend just changing the glass. It's nigh on impossible to do without damaging the digitizer. You need to change the glass/digi/lcd and frame complete. The part you need is about £85 on ebay so a shop is gonna do it between £120-£150. Anything over that is a bit pricey.
