Ordered a new screen - Nokia Lumia 900

I crushed screen on my Lumia 900. Not to worry, I got a new one. After watching a vid on how to replace it, I decided I can do it, fix the old one. I ordered a new one from China... from china... eeek! http://www.parts4repair.com/nokia-lumia-900-at-t-complete-screen-assembly-with-bezel/ I did some checking and it seems they have been around for a while. Does anyone want an update on how this goes? Maybe you have accidently crushed your screen.

Definitely keep us posted on how it goes. Take pics too.

Had something similar on my Lumia 800 and following the video, everything seemed pretty straightforward..

Will do, before and after. So far, keeping me pretty well posted and even refunded me a couple bucks for shipping. I do believe I saw the 800 on there also, so if they are worth using... it would be a great resource.

thanks for the link and tell us when and if you receive it. I need a new LCD myself since I broke mine a month ago and couldn't find a replacement for less than $200.
Did you get the screen with AT&T logo or without?

I got it with and oddly enough, it was cheaper. I got a tracking number... supposed to be on the way. 7-14 days.

After watching the video, I just HAD to take my screen off a week after getting it. It was REALLY easy and straight forward. You should have No trouble with this repair since they are sending you a complete screen WITH bezel.

Unfortunately, No, I don't. I'm going to grab a 920 when they come out though. Currently, I'm stuck with my trusty Focus.
I agree, with the updates, and the future updates, the 900 is an AWESOME phone. Good price on the screen with digitizer. :victory:

Super easy I recently did this as well, my screen also came with some tools but they they were to big I think they sent t6 when I needed a t5 no worry though as I had a full set at home anyway

Unlock
This phone has now found a new home on T-Mobile! Wife and I will now have twin Lumia 900's! Unlock was a bit of a pain. I called customer service and they gave me the line the phone couldn't be unlocked until I got upset and reminded them today is the 8th. I had to stand my ground, but a supervisor unlocked the phone. No wait, no email

[Q]Where can I buy a Droid Incredible

Hello ladies and gents.
I got a quick question, but first a little back story...
I owned a Droid Incredible for a few months already.. *Oct.2010 however it got stolen a month ago.. I have retrieved the phone already.
While I was at my Apartment...my phone fell and it's broke... screen shattered..case dinged up.. and now I have a beat up paper weight..
My local carrier which I bought the phone from are all out...and they asked if I wanted a Fascinate...I like the phone.. but I am so used of the Dinc with so many things I did with it.. I've grown to love it....
My question is this...
Where can I get one..I've looked on Ebay.. I would like at least "like new" condition.
I've google searched and I've came across some for a decent price.. but these online "stores" either have not seller ratings or what ever....
I am no noob at buying stuff from ebay, but the stuff I've bought were either BNIB stuff or some after market hop ups for R/c Cars...
Please point me in the right direction.
I am starting to hate not having a phone to tinker with.
*If this is in the wrong section pls move it to the correct one.kthx.

eBay is the best place.
Buy from a seller who has more than 50 ratings and you are almost positive to get exactly what you are expecting to get.
They would lose more money by getting a bad rating than they would selling you a messed up product.
That -and- the fact eBay has buyer protection, though it is a pain to work with.
Make sure it has a clean ESN if you are getting used.
Thanks anybody else..
I have a post in the marketplace pm me
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
you can try swappa.com
Craigslist -> cellphone section
Just make sure you call verizon when your about to purchase or beforehand, and check if the ESN is reported stolen. If not then your good =)
I got a "like-new" Dinc from verizon a month ago by accident when they were suppose to send me a brand new one because of warranty. They never billed me for the "like-new" phone, so I have an extra one. I'll sell it to you for $350. PM if interested.

You can go to http://www.repairsuniverse.com/ and just buy the parts you need and replace it yourself. Much cheaper than buying a whole new phone.
And $350 for a like-new phone ... he could get a like-new one on eBay for much cheaper.

Honestly, if you don't want to go through Verizon- eBay is your best choice.
Most people and companies who are looking to sell devices sell them there instead of creating an entire new website to sell them on.
But I think you don't like eBay very much so I won't push it anymore

So the glass front is cracked and im guessing the actual amoled screen is broken also? You feel it vibrate when you turn on but nothing after that?
If that is the case this is what you would need
Digitizer - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-glass-touch-screen-digitizer-replacement.html
Bezel - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-front-housing-bezel-replacement.html

AMOLED - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-lcd-screen-replacement.html
SLCD - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-incredible-droid-lcd-screen-replacement-slcd.html
You will also need to get tools that will be able to remove the screws on the phone. I personally got this, has exactly what is needed plus so much more for a great price.

If you do it that way just watch this video

It shows you everything you need to know on how to take apart the incredible.
If that isn't what is wrong with the phone, well at least you know what to do if you do just crack your screen lol.

wow..
I may do this.. It does vibrate.. and the home buttons on the bottom light up...
The actual red part of the phone the bottom left is dented somewhat..
Swappa or Craigslist
Honestly...
If my phone is beyond repairable.. then I am not gonna try and get these parts.. but I like the idea that it CAN be done.
I've dealt with electronics stuff before.. e.g Full Blown Water Cooled Computer.
I am not afraid of EBAY.. it's just that... these kinds of purchases e.g phone purchases..through the *bay.. is luck of the draw I guess.

If it does that then i'm 99% sure you can replace the screen, digitizer, & bezel, and you will have a working phone again. It def turns on, with that vibrate means you can at least get into the bootloader. So you can download this file
http://www.fourty.net/~berzerker/stockstuff/PB31IMG_3.26.605.1_RUU.zip
rename it PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD card, boot into the bootloader, run the update, and this will return the phone to a completely stock 2.2 as if you bought it from VZW.

Yeah, eBay can be iffy. But if you do go that route, just look at the feedback percentages and the comments. Any recent negatives and move on to the next seller.

Hmm... That is the best words I've heard in a while.. that it's almost 99% a possible fix.
Let me describe what happens when I "turn it on"..
It does vibrate like usual when it boots.. however.. I can't see much.. haha..
The day it broke.. the screen would light up showing the splash screen as well as other parts.. but with cracks.. I've never seen a phone this jacked up before..
That's about it.. If in fact this is a good indication that it is in fact fixable.. I will ordering the parts ASAP... and have it reconnected..
Question.. with the impact the phone encountered..with the "motherboard" be so much affected to where the actual innards are shot.. say..the gps stuff.. or the accelromater *I know spelling is off.. haha..
I am hoping this all goes well and dandy...
Thanks everyone.

screen crack NO!!!

I am in Uk, my One X has developed a crack across the screen, still works, but it looks ugly, anyone know a contact number of someone who can fix this for me!?
its horizontal and you can't even feel it!
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Gutted :-(
Ouch, that sucks man! Honestly, it's probably not worth the cost of repair if that's as bad as it is. My Infuse is my daily phone and it's screen is shattered far worse than that. One crack, even going across the screen isn't too bad when replacement could be very pricey, and you may just crack it again.
I saw another thread on this and it sounds like the LCD is glued to the glass, which makes it very difficult to separate without breaking the LCD as well. Your best bet may be to send it in for replacement. Doesn't look like there's a whole lot of info on fixing the screens on these yet.
This is exactly why I just signed up with insurance today on mine. I always end up with cracked screens some how, and I'm usually very careful. Even with the insurance though, there's a $75 deductible, and I don't know if it'd be worth it still for just one crack.
UK repair is £145.
no other places in the UK other than HTC did it a couple of weeks back because they couldn't source the parts. told them i coule provide them with it but they weren't willing to do it
mine cracked after two weeks, worked perfectly, but there were hundred of cracks across the screen. no way was i willing to live with it for 2 years
Thanks for the reply, the irony was I was holding it in the case not realising it was upside down then BOOM dropped onto Brick paved driveway
Fully expect to have to pay for screen replacement surely HTC must offer some service / support?

the phone is assembled in such a way that the entire assembly occurs on the screen, so you have to strip the phone back to literally every single component

7 working days from receipt. i got mine back after two weeks, including a bank holiday. it was also just after the phone came out so maybe there was a delay getting the parts then?
they send out fedex to collect the phone, could even come the day after you call

heres another pic with the screen lit up!
appreciate all the replies, thanks.

[Q] Should i trade my Nokia N9 for a one x with a messed up LCD?

I sold my htc amaze a few months ago to buy the n9 and im getting tired of not having any app selections (it was cool at first), and the one x looks pretty sick. found someone on craigslist that is willing to trade but he dropped the phone and the screen doesn't turn on. he has a new digitizer for it but not an LCD. They aren't too expensive on ebay (found one for like $40). he said the phone turns on and everything works (capacitive buttons, sound, etc). The thing im worried about is if it has water damage, is there any way to find out? and if not do you guys think its worth it?
thanks
edit: nevermind did more searching on the water damage indicator and found it. still would like to know your opinions/advice though
A screen repair requires the digitiser and LCD. Just do a search for broken screen threads here.

thanks for your reply. yeah ive watched a few videos on it but since they are selling the LCDs on ebay separated from the digitizer I figured you could replace it itself..
edit: im reading on other threads that they are two separate units? some people are saying they are on unit and others are saying the opposite. starting to wonder if its worth it..

Official ones come as one unit and cost more. It'll cost about 150 UK pounds for official repair. Factor that into your cost, and the fact that it's second hand, and the fact you can't test it properly... Is it worth it? I doubt it, but a working One X is an incredible device.

Don't do it, go for a proper second hand device a fully working one, better to have the original screen as it's a lovely screen.

thank you, ill take your advice. it seems not many people are interested in the n9 as much as I thought they would.
It always feels good to have a new device which is fresh and you are much sure that it doesn't have a defect or something, if you're are looking for some advice, well for me, i will personally tell you that go and just buy a new one ( Fresh like Dougie )

Front glass broken

Hi there,
today I dropped my phone on the street and the front glass got broken. The phone is still fully working. Touchscreen and everything else works without problems.
A couple of months ago I changed the front glass of a Samsung Galaxy S4 with all the necessary stuff, e.g. loca glue. For the first trial the result was acceptable. No reading the other threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3522863
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3592043
most of the posters don't recommend the replacement of the front glass. On ebay I can find both only the frontglass (about 10€) and the full suited display (about 135€). If I take an offer from china, the price would lower to 65€. Another option would be to send the phone to Oneplus and let those guys repair it.
Now the decisions I have to made:
Just buying the front glass: Would be an option, if it is the same difficulty like the Samsung phones. But I've found only one Youtube Tutorial. At 1:45 he puts something on the screen, but not sure if it's clue or just something to clean.
Buying a display from China: for about 65€ would be also ok. This can take up to 6 weeks of shipping. And in some forums I've read the quality should be much lower than the original parts from Oneplus. Does anyone have any experience about this?
Sending to Oneplus ist the last option. But this depends on the price. I opened a ticket and now I'm waiting for their offer.
What would you recommend? Has anybody changed the frontglass and can tell me about the success?

Open the ticket mate. No fuss. You'll get your device going in maximum 2 weeks. I tried replacing the glass myself and failed, I cracked the screen half way through...
Buying from eBay... Idk, but if people say they're not original, why Risk? Then again there's the struggle of doing it yourself.
The cheapest and safest is to send it to ONEPLUS.
Cheers

I have replaced hundreds of screens in devices and for the most part it is cheaper and far easier then anything else.
Im about to replace my USB port myself as soon as my tool kit gets here on Monday.
I would never send a device to the OEM to be fixed. It will cost you twice as much plus the time without a device is just stupid.
I have always trusted these people with all the stuff I need to repair. Never trust some random Youtube video.

I have always trusted these people with all the stuff I need to repair. Never trust some random Youtube video.

You could find a cheaper knock off im sure but I hold a simple believe when it comes to electronics. You get what you pay for. You buy cheap and you get cheap.
The USB port was like 4 bucks with 25 dollars shipping lol.

That's been my general experience as well, with probably the exception of Intel CPUs. Got my 1700X and is better for building than a 7700K or 8700K for almost half the price.

Got an answer from Oneplus:
Screen: EUR 57.20
Fingerprint Sensor: EUR 12.60
Labor: EUR 18.50
Vat: 23%
Total: EUR 108.61
Not sure, if there are any shippig costs to be added.

57 Euros doesn't sound bad actually especially if it's the regular screen.

I have replaced hundreds of screens in devices and for the most part it is cheaper and far easier then anything else.

What? It may suck to send your device away but why are you saying they charge you twice as much? That's misinformation. I sent mine and it only cost 80£ (labour and shipping included). Where can you buy an original display for 80 quid? Even the Knock offs from eBay cost more than that.

You are not adding in the cost of buying g another disposable device to use for the weeks your device is gone. That's for you. Do you know how much it would cost from the US for a repair?

Great! The price surprised me. When my LG V10 died I sent it in thinking it was going to be a free repair for the bootloop issue.. $400 USD to replace motherboard. **** that lol

Yep! Not gonna pay $400 to repair a device that is literally $100 something on Ebay or Swappa, and I am definitely not going to pay $400 for a device that is guaranteed going to bootloop again in only a years time. So I spent $300 and bought a new OP3. Originally got the V10 because as someone coming from IOS, I automatically thought all Android phones could be unlocked and rooted with ease, with some o them sweet custom ROMs. This guy didn't do his research and ended up with using LG's, horrible, horrible (I cannot stress this enough) software. Not to mention the extra thick layer of AT&T bloat behind it. I don't really care about the hardware in a phone, as long as its good enough to have the software run good.

I hear you there. I had a g2 for a while. Then moved to the nexus but the 6 had issues dealing with the cold. So got the 1+3 for a steal from a dev. To be honest. I wanted to hate it because the CEO is an idiot. But other then some crappy BT issues when on a weak wifi connection. (licensing issues I'm sure) and the fact it won't work with my smart watch. I really can't complain about about.
I replaced my Motherboard and Battery by sending it to Oneplus. I do live in the EU so that could be a big difference. But a DHL driver picked it up on Monday. And I got it back the same week on Friday fully repaired without additional costs. A screen replacement here costs about €100 which is not expensive at all.. The problem mainly is that original parts are very rare and mostly fake.

I used DHL for the first time Getting the USB port. Ordered it before Xmas and got it 2 weeks later. I was impressed with DHL as they went out of their way to make sure I got the package.

OnePlus 7T Is Back In Stock!

Just checked and noticed it was back in stock after being sold out for a long time and ordered https://www.oneplus.com/oneplus-7t?from=7t
{Mod edit: Voucher removed! This is not accepted}
Just ordered mine. Looking forward to joining this forum
I got an email about this today. Already purchased a mint one on Swappa and it came with three new OEM cases!
Glad to see others having a chance to get this phone.
Its out of stock now..
Ordered mine last night around midnight when I got the email. I'm hoping that I like it enough to give up my Pixel 3a.
I got mine ordered today about 2PM EST.
Coming off my OP6
This is it folks, the end of the era for a great device for a great price (today $599.00$ -$100.00 =$499.00).

Yeah I chose express shipping too but it hasn't been handed off yet. I also ordered as soon as they got back in stock and am coming from iOS after having been away from Android for a while, so I'm anxious

Mine shipped yesterday. Priority shipping. It says it should arrive Monday. I'm hoping for tomorrow!
Well, got mine in. The fingerprint sensor is broken (hardware not found) and the ring mode slider on the side does not work properly. I spent hours with support and I have to send the phone back for replacement now. They won't cross-ship a new one and my only option is to go phone-less for a week+, or order a loaner (with $100 deposit). If they actually had them in stock it would be easier to return my original order and order a new one... very frustrating experience so far.
Otherwise the phone experience is great.
Were you phone-less before you opened the box? Mercy, can you not revert to the phone its replacing? Its why I don't trade mine in.
Got mine, all is well.

I switched from AT&T. The minute I activated the 7T it ported my number and the old service was gone. So yeah, my old phone won't work. I borrowed a verizon phone from a friend but I'm having trouble activating it with Visible.com.
Ah, that is tough.
