The screen won't respond to my swipes. I have another phone to switch to later, but for now is there any way i can forward my texts to my email? I can't even power the phone off as it is, only can do a soft reset.
hope this screen isn't such a beast to replace like some (Note)
It's gonna cost you more than 100 bucks.

oh geez, not what i was hoping to hear....is this normal for the screen to not function once the glass is cracked?
My Nexus 4 met it's demise at Subway next to my work. I found a display/digitizer replacement for less than $90 including shipping and sales tax. Look around, you'll find cheaper places just make sure you buy from a reputable merchant.
Make sure the quality is good as well.

Yeah, it's known for the screen to not work after it cracks. Next time don't forget to get a case. You never know when your phone will fall and break. A good tpu case will provide protection during accidental falls.

You gotta get one one of those that have a lip that wraps around the edges of the phone. I have dropped my phone many times with my diztronic case on and my phone hasn't shatter yet. Thank goodness.

Just happened to me as well. I wonder if it would just be worth it to send it to LG to get repaired. But I can't get them to give me an estimate

It will cost you $140 dollars and anywhere between 14-20 days without your Nexus 4.
Source: I get my phone back on Monday. This time I'm putting a case on it.

That is why I always keep my smartphones in cases. Even if it don't break it takes damage almost every single time.
got a temporary fix...just popped the back cover off and removed all the shattered glass and replaced with a piece of clear tape for now
OooooO sorry to hear that. I bought a cheap o case and s/p before i even received the phone. Im taking no chances. My otterbox was on back order. Still haven't received it. I'm glad i bought the case cause it took a nasty spill 30 minutes after installing the case and sp. Bottom line protect your investment.

Not to worry OP
The rear camera on this should be extremely easy to replace. You'll just have to wait a few more weeks until that part begins to make it's way out to us. You should be able to make the phone look just like new and it shouldn't cost more than $40 including tools.

It's not a steel frame, it's a silver painted plastic. It will get scuffed if you're not careful with it.

I don't think so yet. I think until the tablet is out longer, and there are spare parts, I just don't see how they could repair it since it's plastic. Have you considered finding a nice case that covers the bezel?

The only other suggestion I have, though it's a long shot, is finding a local store that repairs iphones or computers, and show them and ask what they can do. I doubt they can repair it though, but that is where you would go to get the glass on your iphone replaced, for example...

The bezel will be hard to repair since its glued and hard to remove. You would have to seperate the bonded glass and LCD. At least that what it looked it to me when I disassembled mine first tablet trying to fix the screen lift. Its very easy to break the glass even for a pro so even if you get a pro or Asus to do the work it will be expensive since if the replace the entire front panel. Just get a hard shell to put on it and you wont even see the bezel. Sounds like you just have cosmetic damage anyways

I've used a product like that on my headlights before, it's basically a polish compound for plastic. I think it will ruin the finish of the bezel and won't do anything for your dents. Only way to make the bezel like new is to replace it or you can just ignore it since it's only cosmetic.

Just for info, in the UK they scan the barcode when they sell you a product, receipt or no receipt they have a record of your purchase and can confirm this without a receipt, if it wasn't scanned then that might be a problem.

since its not a defect the fastest solution would be to buy another tablet . GET the one you have fixed later and sell it on ebay .. Or well send it to me. Giggles..t
there is not quick pc /phone / tablet repair facility ..

Even if it takes days from Google or ASUS it is alright since you send your broken tablet once you received the new one

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

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.

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?

Check their website there's a link from there. Give them a call register the phone with them log on to their website and create a claim. Then they ask you to send the phone in. Note: do everything recorded del. It costs £50 excess they turned mine around in under two weeks from start to finish

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.

i had a case on mine, but had it off when i dropped it a couple nights ago. same story--phone still works, but the cracks the dropped caused left the screen unresponsive to touch.
i also heard the same thing from LG, but my biggest issue was that i wanted to retrieve data that i had on the phone. they said that they always wipe the data when they do any repairs on it, so i purchased that screen from china and am giving it a go on wednesday.
wish me luck! :fingers-crossed:
So, lol, the same thing happened to me. I wanted to post a pdf of the tear down guide that might help you guys, as I couldn't find it anywhere online.
I was going to order the part online, but after hearing about it being cheaper to send to LG, I might just do that instead!

To be honest it is cheaper then insurance..... I bought the ProtectCell after I broke the first one. and it is $200 or something up front plus $150 every time you break it.... Aka I could fix my phone 3 times before the insurance is a better deal.
Ughhh...same thing happened to me about an hour ago. Would one of you be able to share where you tracked down where to send it in. I'll start digging around for info on this, but thought I'd ask. Thanks!

Can't post a link since I'm new but lg(dot)com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair should work for you.
I dropped mine last week and called their 1-800 number to create a Return Authorization, rather than using the web page. Ended up being $146 to repair mine, which is still cheaper than local shops and far less risky than me trying to figure out how to do it solo. They received it Thursday, gave me the quote late Friday, and I called in to make the payment then. Hopefully it's repaired Monday and on it's way back to me by mid-week.

Awesome. Thanks so much for the reply. I think I will give them a ring tomorrow. I had found the LG repair link prior to your reply and, oddly enough, the G2 isn't even listed in the list of selectable products, so figured I'd have to call anyhow.
I'm generally extremely careful with my devices, maybe even anal, so I generally don't buy insurance. However, this is the second phone, after my G-Nexus, which has ended up with a smashed screen due to a freak accident. Starting to rethink my take on insurance......
Thanks again!

the lg g2 isn't listed because of the different model numbers (d800, vs980 etc), so just select the model you have. I'm waiting for my call from them now.

Thanks. I noticed that after the fact. Had been looking for the G2 so overlooked the other options. Ended up using the live chat option which worked very well. Also checked back in with live chat a few times to see where the process was at once I sent it in.
Long story longer, I will have mine back in my greedy little hands tomorrow if Fed-Ex holds up their end of the bargain. Like another poster stated, the repair cost was $146, which includes return shipping, plus my cost to send it to Texas. Took about 2-1/2 weeks total from the day I shipped to getting it back tomorrow. I saw another poster-or-two mentioned that their repair was quoted at $105. Not sure why mine and others were up at $146 since mine seemed like a pretty basic crack and I figured thus, it would be at the lower end of the reported repair chargees.
Looking forward to getting it back. Had already sold my G-Nex so I've been scraping by with my resurrected Palm Pre for the past couple weeks
Amazing how just in a few hours and not even dropping the phone, all of a sudden a small spiderweb crack appears and spreads like crazy. Beyond frustrating.

the tempered glass is kind of fragile. If you break in the point.

I meant if there is a point uneven, it will be cracked with just a weak force
Screen protectors are stupid and a waste of money. Last phone I had that scratched was a Nexus 4.

It's all about deciding how much risk you're willing to take

I don't use a screen saver. I have insurance on my phone. If I scratch it I just give it a good punch and call and my insurance sends me a new one for $150.00 by the time you pay for 3 screen savers I'll just get a new phone .

Whitestone provide lifetime warranty. Have now had 4 screen protectors from them in the past 2 months free of charge so no need to even spend $150.
I'm not sure which Whitestone dome company you're referring to but they do not replace screen protectors free of charge at least not anymore because I just did it and I had to pay $15

The replacement will take at least 24 hours to arrive, I can NOT have my phone in death
You can buy the same stuff from Aliexpress, I've bought one for s9 and it s kind of the same quality but for a better price

Strange as its only been costing me $12 which they class as a shipping charge. Still better than replacing the screen.
I paid around $15 to replace the last one I broke (and had to mail my old one in.) My current one is cracked along the side off the screen. When it gets worse I'm putting the Aliexpress one on (which cost me less then $20 for two protectors), if it sucks I'll do another warranty replacement.
