So it sounds like this glass is shattering for a lot of people, but im not seeing any parts to fix it with and LG is doing the typical "we have no idea what you're talking about!" act they always do and want 300 dollars to fix their flawed phone.
Anybody been able to find a part for this?

Did they quote you 300 to fix it?
Alright, since nobody seems to have given my post a second look, you can at least get a part that will work here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...eplacement-Camera-Lens-glass/32794420806.html

Does this have the actual glass? Talked to a few sellers on ebay who said it did not. Just want to confirm before dropping $35. Thanks!

Just thought I'd let you guys know. I just called HTC support to try to get my phone repaired. I read other post saying It'd be a good idea to let them know over the phone if it's unlocked so I did. Pretty much hung up the phone on me there, said they can't /won't do anything, even though it's a hardware issue. If i bricked the phone, I can take responsibility in that, but this is just BS.
Anyone else have a similar issue or way to circumvent this? I'm tempted to just brick it and get it replaced as they won't see the unlocked.
Any input would be great. There is a **** ton of dust too.
How long have you had the phone? I got mine three weeks ago but this dust issue is the reason I haven't rooted. So far I have had no issues. Does anyone have a high Res pic of the dust issue? Kind of curious to see it.

Mine are in the dead center - 4 or 5 big ones that are super noticeable. and a lot of itty bitty ones
I just called again hoping to get someone else. I did. I got the exchange process going and they are sending me one. I just am worried about once they review it. Last time when I sent it in I had a manager call me back personally and leave a message. Wish me luck guys. And if it comes down to it. Deny deny deny !

Hello everyone
this is my maiden voyage into this forum having lurked for a while since i got my HD2...
Please stick with me,
I have uncovered some grossly outrageous prices from 2 of the leading hd2 repair teams on the internet in the U.K.......
read on .....
well,
The day i decide to step foot into primark, i drop my hd2 and it drops less than a meter from my hand and catches the corners and shatters the glass screen....
after a slightly delirious 20 minutes of laughing i tried to use my phone.
unbelievably it worked absolutely fine! albeit with cracked glass and fine shards of glass sticking into my fingers....
so i immediately set about trying to find out where i could get it fixed online.
The first stop was TurnOnYourMobile.co.uk who quoted me just over £200 to have the screen replaced. They offered a "We'll beat the Price of our competitors" thing, and so i looked elsewhere .
Hence, next stop, Undercutter.co.uk...
According to the very difficult to use website, it would cost me £85! bargain i thought...
so i went back to TOYM to see if they could do a price match?
the answer was no....
oddly, it seemed that Mark at TOYM used to do the repairs for Undercutter and believed that Simon at Undercutter was confusing the Touch HD with the HD2 and that his quote was incorrect.
Back to Undercutter and when i emailed directly to Simon i was quoted £115 plus £8.50! still less than TOYM but a little bit more than undercutters own website stated! not a good sign!
So i did my own survey of prices of the HTC HD2 screen Glass Screen Digitizer.....
to find that the screen alone ranges from £23.50:gultek.eu/htc-hd2-digitizer.html
to £44.95 mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-replacement-lcd-p23948.htm
I emailed Simon at Undercutter about this!
The fact that the screens were available for Under £50 and yet he was charging nearly £70 on top of that to spend less than 20 minutes replacing the screen..... a Whopping rate of nearly £70 an hour for the repair....
Absolutely extortionate.....
after sending my findings to Simon he sent me an email back saying
"We are not going to justify our repair prices and service further, but if you would like to use our services, please let us know."
so my advice to anyone getting a screen repair is, unless you can afford the extortionate prices, see if you can get it repaired on your insurance, and if that takes too long, try and fix it yourself.....
After my findings, I am tempted to buy a screen and repair it myself.....
But i need your advice.... Is the anyone out there who can fix my phone for a lot cheaper and at a resonable rate???
and If i am to repair it myself, Any tips or instructions on hopw to do it???
Many MAny thanks to you
and thank you for reading.
Darren

i think its ok for ppl to ask that much money for it from what i have seen its verry difficult to do.
you have to think for yourself. if you do it yourself and you destroy your phone. what will it cost you? is that risk really worth saving a relative small amount of money?
in my opinion its not.
Hello
I had my screen replaced by HTC in the UK and they charged me £79 +VAT so I would say your being well ripped off mate.
Marshall1975, who did you get yours fixed by? and did they replace it with the glass screen as opposed to a platic alternative i've been hearing about? and was it just the glass that was replaced or the LCD digitizer too?
I have a feeling it's just my glass that needs replacing not the bit underneath it.
jamieeeee, I don't think it's reasonable for people to make that much money out of customers at all, just my view but to make such a big profit out of one customer is shocking.
The reason i've posted my findings is to highlight the nature of people preying on a niche market such as us. HD2 is still fairly uncommon and these companies are making a killing bacause we are a niche market... i think it's dispicable...
Marshall, I haven't got mine fixed yet;. i'm doing my research good and proper first before i go for it....
Thank you so much
Darren

that is just the plastic digitizer that reads your finger, not the glass.
also, the second link is for the lcd screen not necessarily the glass. (I think im correct in saying it is a three piecesetup, lcd - glass -digitize ((or lcd digitizer glass))
Thanks for the Info SamSamuel...
so can i assume then, that as it's just the glass that is broken that , that is all i need to replace?
My phone still works brilliantly and no touch problems at all other than tiny bits of glass...
does anyone know How crucial it is after a drop to replace the whole lot? as SamSamuel suggested, the 3 parts that make up the screen?
Simon from UnderCutter didn't appear to say that the screens i listed were incorrect? who knows. Does anyone here have more detailed information to what is on there on the market.
Surely these screens must be Official as they are HTC branded?
below another os Simons gems in repsonse to my findings of screens at a lower price.....
If you have the skills to replace the screen yourself then please have a go at buying and fitting. Some cheaper parts don’t work or last very long, so there are cheaper ones out there but don’t hold your breath for a great product.
Also Just wondered if anyone knew of the whereabouts of the video tutorial on how to replace the screen???
and £79 wow, i can't beat that, Where did you get it done Marshall?

the videos are here
but its verry hard to seperate those 2 things..
hmmmm taking the whole of the screen looks fairly simple in the video! but i'm sure there has to be more to it because of all the separate components that make up the screen....
still wiatin got hear from Marshall1975 to see where he got his done.....
Have you contacted your network to see how much they can do the repair for?

I believe he stated in his post it was directly with HTC in the UK.
Why not plump for HTC. Save the hassle of DIY and its cheaper than the other quotes you have?
When its all fixed, work out how much insurance would cost per year balanced against dropping it, smashing it and repeating the whole process again......
Aha
must've not seen that through my cracked screen!
I have contacted HTC to eagerly await their response which i will post here!

Phone is in mint condition as is the screen. Digitizer stopped working.
I don't know if it's the actual digitizer or the flex cable, but I'd rather not do it myself and ruin something.
Anyone know where I can get it fixed or get it figured out what's wrong with this thing for a decent price?
Hey orangekid, you should contact XDA Member connextion2005. I see you are from Texas, well so is he, and I know he can get your HD2 up and running again. I know people here probably get tied of me posting this but his work speaks for itself. Here is a direct link to the page on his website that tells all the services for the HD2 he offers. Hope this is helpful to you.

Since this is a very common problem you can get it repaired at most reputable phone repair shops (try Google maps). The digitzer+glass costs at least $70-80 though! Even if the just cable is broken, they will replace the whole screen for you.

right, but that's what I'm trying to avoid, why pay $80 for an easy cable fix? I don't need the glass repaired, it's mint...

There is a place in Norfolk, VA you can mail your phone to. They had pretty reasonable prices when i called a few years ago about something. Here is the link. They have several in the US, this happened to be closest to me in Maryland. You need to tell them that it would be mailed in, i think but not 100% that they require an additional $10 to mail the phone back to you ontop of the charges to fix the phone but being that i hadn't called in a few years this price might have gone up.

Hey,
Okay, so I've been using the Galaxy S2 for god knows how long and I really need to move on.. and also the fact that its battery is dying for the third time... that helped me to take the decision to go with the 6P.
There's just a major problem, I'm neither from US nor Europe... and I don't wanna pay 200$ or 300$ extra just to get it.. because the only reason i'm buying it is it has a great value in its current price..
I have seen a few nice forwarding sites, like fishisfast and usgobuy and they do look promising... I can buy from the Google Store and ship to my country and that would only cost me about 50 bucks more.. which is great...
My only concern is defective units... I've seen so many complaints on the forums here about defective units starting from the slight pink screen to speakers and the list goes on... and I'm afraid that If I receive a defective unit i won't be able to get a replacement...
is there's any safe way of getting the 6P without compromising warranty or paying like 200 extra bucks
I'm not sure about your situation but wanted to tell you if you reply to your own post with the word bump it will get moved to the top and people will see it. You don't have to keep starting threads. Just a friendly FYI.

From a returns standpoint I'd easily prefer the Google Store. However, I'm not sure how that applies (or doesn't) to your current situation & questions.

Ugh, I'm sick of this, I've always wanted to buy a Nexus.. Starting from the Nexus 4, to the 5 and then 6P... and I never did.. Why google makes them that damn hard to get anywhere else on the world !!
I think I'm gonna wait till Amazon start selling them officially.. That's probably gonna be the best in returns standpoint..
_____
Okay, No Nexus for me then... I am buying the HTC M8.. It does have a pretty active dev community.... Definitely not as good as the 6P.. But it's currently for half its price...
As per the title anyone knows where I can buy another of the included case? I really really like how it looks and feels in the hand.
Also if it's possible to get the stock or something close to the included screen protector.

Maybe from OnePlus directly? Ebay for sure.
This link has the or case that came with the phone.

I don't think OnePlus site has the case listed and on eBay I've had no luck, maybe it's a region thing
Sorry I know I seen them on there a bit ago or maybe it was another site I'll look in my history cause I said the same thing. The free case is the best looking so far for the phone and I went looking to find backups for when I kill off the 1st one.
Go to tmobile and tell them you need the case for the display, if you had any insured otterbox/other cases on the account they wont care and they will just give it to you
