Shattered screen-FYI - One (M7) General

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.

I absolutely agree with OP. Get a good case for this phone. I've already broken digitizer in my phone because i forgot to buy a case.
Unfortunatelly anodized aluminum isn't grip friendly

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 have the glamour red version so a case would make having this colour pointless. No case for me, just a good screen protector.

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 dont let them touch my phone because "its for work"
so i give them my "wifes phone" instead lol

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.

Mine fell down once on cement. Jumped up and down a couple times. Few scratches and bumps here and there, glass cracked a bit, scratched some other places. Overall hurt.
I do have to say, if it were any other phone, it would have been torn to pieces. This phone is tough!

You should at least buy a cheap slip on case from the chinese. On ebay they are like 2-4 bucks and tons of different designs. I prefer the OEM G1 Case, bought 2 extras just in case I lose one haha.

What if you got a cellphone case at walmart, then dropped the phone an hour later after your G2 was all snuggled up in the case?
Also, devirginized = cherry popped, my dear virgin friend =P
I dropped mine as well, it hit the pavement and bounced..the battery door came off and the battery and sdcard came out, but no damage to the phone...thanks to Zagg
I remember I dropped my G1 like that getting out my car in my moms driveway. I was a little mad but I knew my contract was just about finished and the fact that I had dropped the G1 so many times I just shrugged it off. So far I've only dropped my G2 on the carpet in my house. Plus I have a screen protector and a clear hard case w/kickstand so Im not worried but Im also not walking around holding my phone. Im using BT.

HELP! G2 screen is black with white lines.

so my girlfriend's brother pushed her and she ended up falling on her phone. she tried to turn it on and what do you know, all you see is a black screen with white lines. anyone know the problem? do i just have to replace the LCD? thanks in advance.
Hopefully you have insurance, if so tell your girlfriends brother to cough up 130.

lol tmobile insurance is a joke. but i'm making him pay $200 to cancel one of my spare lines so i can give my GF one of the G2's that im selling. im hoping it doesn't come to that because i really don't want to do that. my guess is that i just need to replace the LCD. anyone care to chime in?
The impact could have damaged several internals. Without opening it up, you don't really know what you have to work with.

RE
i had a similar problem with my phone ... my screen went white with random black lines on it ... i might have sat with the phone in my pocket earlier not too sure ... anyways so the screen wouldn't show anything but the phone worked otherwise, i can hear it receiving notifications, and i can even receive phone calls and answer them if I slide my finger across the screen ... the phone was rooted, and i wasn't able to do a hard reset on it ...
took the phone back to bell on the 3rd, and last monday i heard back from them saying that the LCD was cracked and needed replacement ... which is not covered under the waranty since it's a physical damage and it would cost $150 CND to replace it ... should be getting the phone back this monday...
After replacing my Desire Z via FutureShop warranty (for battery issues) I somehow ended up with the lines on my screen Christmas eve, however the LCD was not cracked. The lines would move around and change in brightness as I did things on the phone (opening apps, flipping keyboard out, etc). If the lines don't move then it's more likely a crack in the screen. My issue was more likely a faulty ribbon/connection. I carry my phone in an inner breast pocket on my winter jacket, so I definitely didn't crush it or anything, either.
So back to FutureShop I went, only a week after the first replacement, and they gave me another new one right away. Between 2 stores that I have visited my 2 replacements are supposedly the only 2 replacements that have been done since the phone launched.
My 3rd one seems to be doing well, no battery issues, so far no screen issues.
I guess my point is, if you can get a phone from a retailer that offers a decent warranty, do it. I bought my phone outright at $500, the warranty was $10 a month.. I fell for it, but I'm very very glad that I did. Although HTC may have covered me, I would have been without the phone for a lot of time, and once they found out that I'd unlocked it they probably would have left me in the cold.

I had exactly the same, it is very very likely that "only" the LCD that is broken.
I got an replacement from from ebay (it's about 60 USD) and replaced it following IntuitiveNipples teardown guide at http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down
Its' a little bit of fiddling but in the end not that complicated (tryin to remember which screws should go into which place was the hardest part)
Thanks for the input guys. Very much appreciate it. Looks like ill order the lcd when I get my next paycheck :O

I have this problem too, and eventually (like 2 or so mins in with the screen on) the screen gets dark areas in the corners. We're guessing it is screen damage (which is strange becuse the phone hasn't been dropped or anything, was just in my pocket). My question is what should I do - should I send it to HTC for an exchange or will I get issues with that because the phone is rooted, in which case should I just get a new screen and replace it?

Wouldn't put it past a 4 year old to find a way to shatter inch thick steel.
My three yo knocked mine off a table, 24", on day 3 and broke the glass. I called Amazon and they offered me a replacement for $100. I figured it was a decent deal considering the amount of time it would take me to procure replacement glass and to tear apart/put together the device.

Its like the warranty on my pelican case, covers everything except shark bites, bear attacks, and children under 5.
Amazon will sell you the Square Tade 2 year warranty for $45 and you get 3 replacements during the term. Obivously you don't tell them the screen is already shattered when you call in to order it. Co-workers 5 year old brother got one for chirstmas and broke the screen 3 days later. She bought the warranty about two weeks ago and made the claim this week and Amazon overnighted her a new Kindle.

I think 2-4 year old kids are one of nature's most destructive forces. Imagine if they somehow organized and decided to focus that power!
As Toonakan said, Amazon offered a replacement for $100. Half the price of new seemed a bit steep to me. There are some 3rd party repair places but they are all about $130. Ebay has some parts for about $50 - $70. I will probably just go with that if I can find a seller that looks trustworthy. I have replaced screens on a few phones and gaming systems over the years, so I am not too worried about doing it myself.
The problem with a less expensive device, is repair costs seem a lot more expensive relative to the initial purchase price.

Broken EPIC? Don't use Asurion ONLINE!

My EPIC got broken by a family member last week. That night, I went to www.phoneclaim.com as suggested by a local Sprint associate. I filled out the forms after reading all the nice comments saying how fast it was.
Every time I went to check back, I got a message saying the phone was out of stock and it would take 1-3 business days from the claim to ship.
At the end of business today, I called them, to find out that it was an erroneous message.
At the end, when they asked if I had any questions, I asked why this was so easy for the phone rep when I was getting those messages? And there was also a note on the website that was meant to discourage calling, by saying that the phone reps didn't have any more information than what I was seeing. Obviously wrong.
I was told that the EPIC was a high demand phone, and it was being used to replace other phones, so the system was putting claims for it on "hold". Sounds like bull to me.
Anyway- just sayin'- if you break yours, don't bother with an online claim, just call.
I did an online claim 2 weeks ago. It seemed fine to me. Got it next day! I even asked them if I could get a nexus s4g, but was denied!
Kinda off topic but I HATE my refurbished epic. The digitizer is raised above the bevel in one corner, call speaker is twingy, capacitive buttons are not sensitive at all, worst of all there is screen burn in all over and I can clearly see the word undo on white screens. I am trying to get it replaced with a brand new one but they are giving me **** for it.
This is how most ppl end up with a nexus s. I don't want one but if I'm offered one how am I supposed to refuse?

This is why I don't bother with insurance on phones. If I do something to my phone that destroys it, that's my own damn fault and I'll bite the bullet to spend full price on a replacement, get a used one on Craigslist or just activate an old phone in a kitchen drawer. If the phone is defective, that's what manufacturer warranties are for. Now if the insurance guaranteed a new replacement with any sort of claim, I might consider it, but I know too many people who got burned by these companies with ****ty refurbished replacments.

Do you guys know what I should do? My refurb epic has burnt in bubbles all over the screen, the word "undo", and PM. It also has very unresponsive capacitive keys. And feels like a ringing bell if tapped right lol.

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.
