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

my g/f broke her hd2. the screen is shattered. quick question.... does any1 know if this is something HTC can fix it and does it matter if it has android running from NAND? i'm hoping to send it to them cuz the tear down of this sucker looks hardcore. i dont think i'd be able to replace it myself.
It will cost a bundle from HTC... Like $200 or so... Not worth it....
my screen shattered and I used a place on Ebay located in Raleigh...
This is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-HD2-Tmobile...995?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c407501b
No relation to them. they did a fantastic job and it was very quick to get back to me plus it was only $89!

Nice find there man. I am bookmarking that site. I might need it one day plus it is cheaper than the 100 bucks T-Mobile would charge me to replace my HD2. And that is because I have insurance on my HD2 with T-mobile.
At the OP if it has Android on it HTC may or may not fix it but they most definitely will charge you for it. I would use the link posted above.

No... Do repairs local or do them yourself, no recourse if the place that repaired your device is on the other side of the country.

You could try to contact Huawei directly... Go on their website. You can check your IMEI to see if the phone is still under warranty. Then contact them and ask to repair/send a new phone... Doesn't cost anything to try...
Huawei uses retail phone repair shops for warranty service. If Huawei won't fix your phone you could bring it into one of those shops and get an estimate for the repair cost.

Warranty activated and phone sent to Huawei, let's see what happens.

Good luck. More likely than not they will send you a refurbished phone rather than the same one back fixed.
Either way it's a win-win situation for me. ?

They'll maybe (hopefully) send you a 64 or a 128gb back. As some people reported here... Keep both? Keep the best and sell one? Sell both and upgrade to a new phone? Whatever you choose to do = WIN
:good:
Well Huawei won't repair the phone because the bootloader is unlocked and it has TWRP installed.
At least i tried.

what happened actually?
I sent the phone to their repair center and they refused to repair it because TWRP was installed.
It's a hardware problem but they are using software (TWRP) as an excuse not to fix it.
All big companies do this kind of things, but it never crossed my mind they would say this on a Nexus.
Great news, i complaind and they are repairing the phone after all. It looks like the repair center "forgot" it's a Nexus. ?
