I dropped my Hero and now the screen is cracked, its still working but I need to replace it.
I found replacement housing for sale but this doesn't to include the screen.
Does anyone know where I can purchase a screen?

Do you mean the screen itself, or the glass surface?

Just the glass, but read that I have to replace the whole LCD
Search on ebay.
Won't HTC repair it, at a cost?

most screens you can just replace the digitiser.
I replace them all the time on iPods and Iphones.
www.ukmobi.co.uk normaly have most parts.
yeah do they do the repair? my glass has a scratch verging on cracking it..
that site looks great but doesnt have the hero screen bits yet
My HD2 was developing an issue with it's screen, white patches were appearing. So I sent it off to O2 to be repaired, and while the problem has been fixed, it's been returned with a non-glass screen with no diamond shaped etching on it like I had on the original.
Anyone else had this?
what do you mean by diamond shaped etching? and is it still multitouch?
If you look closely on the HD2, the screen has fine diagonal lines etched on the glass which cross making what appears to be diamond shapes on the screen. The screen on mine isn't glass now, it's plastic and those fine lines aren't there. I was just wondering if anyone else had had a repair and had the same thing happen.
It is still mutlitouch. I'm just trying to decide if I should complain.

Are there any other notable differences? Is it more easily scratched, less transparent, more reflective, etc.?
If so, then yes, you should definitely complain.
as plastic is alot more prone to scratches, i would complain...

I understand this must be really annoying for you, but tbh I find it really interesting.
Is your new screen still capacitive? Does a normal stylus or other object still work on it? (ie. is it still resistive?)
I never realised you could get multitouch plastic screens....
i would definitely file a complain. you bought your hd2 with a glass screen and its weird that its plastic. yes there are diamond shaped etchings in the glass screen.
so all capacitive screens should be glass covered? hmm... interesting.

I had mine repaired and yes, the lines seem to be gone. I think this has to do with the improved hardware and not because its plastic.
f*ck that. complain, you bought the hd2 and you want it back the same way you bought it.
WHOA!
This is either a HUGE insight to something about the amount of screen blotches being received.
or
You are dealing with a crappy fix.
I honestly have never heard of a PLASTIC CAPACITIVE LENS!?!?!
Will this be a common resolution to HD2 shatter/blotch?
there are capacative screens with plastic face...
the samsung f480 has one either
Hmmm

That's good to know, maybe I'm wrong about it being plastic although it doesn't feel the same. Is your's definitely still glass?
Why not post some pics here ? Wanna see it. Best would be to do the pics in various angles to a light source to see what consistency it has ............
I noticed the diamond etchings on my HD2 straight out of the box brand new, still glass though.
may be we should look at tmob us screen and see it's type

All capacitivie screens are made of glass - or else the technology wouldn't work since its basically a grid with electric current covering the screen, and this grid you disturb with your fingers. Plastic is NOT leading electricity so it would not work. And btw, the Samsung F480 has a Resistive touchscreen.
That's not strictly true. Neither glass nor plastic conduct electricity - but both act as a dielectric for electrostatic fields. A capacitive touch screen can theoretically work with either plastic or glass (or even air), because capacitive touch doesn't actually require that you touch the screen.
glass conduct electricity
Strictly speaking, hardly anything conducts no electricity, it's just a question of a material's resistance and therefore the amount.
Hello, i replaced the broken screen. At now, when i tab on screen i think that something is pushing on a screen from behind. Where can be issue?

The next problem with this screen is that when i sticked a tempered glass on a screen i had low sensitivity for tabs on bottom corners of the screen. Glass is sticked well.
Thank you for help me

I don't see anything wrong with it. Just sensitive electronics.

Ya i see them. Have u ever pushed on an LCD screen before?
Dear XDA,
I have a note 3 with a cracked screen. The LDC works, but the digitizer is cracked. Now I know that there is a digitizer and an LCD and those are two different things, but now I see that there is something like glass. There is no connection from the glass to the screen, only the crystal UV glue holds it in place. Is it a digitizer with different technology? I do not want to remove the broken glass, put the glue, put the new glass, and then get no touch.
A quick answer will be very helpful, thank you!
(if the digitizer really is the glass, how does it transmit the touch senses to the phone without any connectors?)
My understanding is that the glass on top of the LCD is tantamount to a glass screen protector. If you removed the glass and touched the screen directly, it would respond to finger touches because the digitizer resides beneath the LCD.
Hi guys.
I own a galaxy i9505 when i touch the upper left corner the touch stops working but if i press the corners of the screen slightly inside it works again or if i lock & unlock the phone.
Is my digitizer damaged or the glass?
I also encountered some dust building up inside after my phone felt on the ground.
And also.
Is there any easy way to remove all components from the housing and put them inside a new one because my housing is damaged.
Thanks.
I'd say it is a hardware because applying pressure gets the area to respond.

So you think its the glass?
It could be just the glass but I don't think so because, unlike some phones, the glass is just a glass cover on this Samsung phone with the digitizer is below the lcd.
