I need an advice, my phone just fell out of my palm and it's screen is completely shattered. The touch screen is fully functional but the screen shows orange-ish dots. Is the the LCD or the broken glass just presses it?
Screen repair here costs ~500 bucks, which I ofcourse refuse to pay.
TL;DR:
What should I order to fix it myself , and is it worth it?
(LCD + touch screen? )
Also, if I order the OEM one.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-OE...872?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f1ae6a558
will it be the original LCD2 the HOX has?

· 110% Brand New (In the ebay advert)! THAT MADE ME CHUCKLE !!
I would ask the ebayer, not us about the LCD2 screen
And if I was you, I wouldn't even bother going anywhere near repairing it yourself, unless you have experience. They are so complex its unreal.
Good luck !
Another question, when my iPod touch cracked I tried to replace the glass... it didn't turn out well. I only ordered the digitizer , at the end it was attached to the LCD.
Anyone knows if it's the same with the HOX? Really can't afford a 500$ repair now.

yeah they are attached normally, hox, the glass is attached to the screen.
my dhd when smashed, was declared beyond economical repair.
its only really if the screen isn't smashed too badly that you might be able to warm it up enough to loosen the glue, but you'll probably damage the lcd itself in the process. and then you'll probably bugger up re attaching the new glass. even htc buggered it up with the yellow spots etc on lots of the early models
you're better off getting the whole screen with glass. it will be fiddly, but there are a few teardown guides for hox, and if you research this enough, and make sure you have the right tools for the job, it should be fine.
if i was in your situation, i would try it .. but i would make a million % sure that the screen i was buying was a genuine screen.

While I had my Touch Pro 2 in my right pocket, I entered my car and the phones screen got a crack because of my stupid steering-wheel.
It's just a crack on the glass not the display itself, so the touchscreen and the display work flawlessly but the crack is pretty long (3-4cm).
Is there a way to change that upper part of the phone and how much does it cost?

Thanks but it seems as if his screen totally broke. On my phone it's "just" the glass that has a crack. Like I said, it still works like a charm (besides windows mobile which is a pain in the butt )

ha ha, idiotic steering wheel, not getting out the way of your phone! (Sorry - I'm allowed to have a bit of fun with your misfortune as a drunk guy urinated all over my 1 week old Pro2... grrr!)
Anyway, on a more helpful note, I think your best option is to send it back to HTC for repair. They'll charge for it, but even if you could do it yourself, you'd void the warranty. Hopefully it won't be too expensive, but it's worth contacting them to see.
Let us know how you get on.
Thanks but I'm very busy at the moment and cant afford to wait some weeks for my phone to return
everybody is saying "glass", now i feel convinced that there's something missing from my phone. my touchscreen just feels like a membrane. only touchscreen i've used with glass is the iphone. please somebody tell me that there's not a problem with my TP2??
the softer layer is the resistive touch screen part, that pushes against the glass which holds back the LCD
so
Finger
(screen cover)
resistive touch screen plastic layer
glass layer

Hi,
I am very sorry for your phone. Trust me I know how you feel You are the third person with me who has a serious problem with the screen.
The problem is the screen is a compact piece like a digital, square, rectangle box which consists of one part only. It has no seperate or tearable upper part on it, I know because I have ordered one from a third party.
Therefor the only repair solution is to change whole screen unfortunately. So you should return it to service.
Regards

How much did you pay in total and did you repair it yourself?
And I think that I just cracked the screen cover and nothing of the deeper ones.
I am delivering it to back to customer service. I bought the part but I could not change it; it was so hard to open that har and I did not want to void warranty.
So either use the phone with the screen scratched or change the lcd completely.
Regards.
So how much did you pay? Did you send your phone back to the uk or did you let it repair in ankara? And is there a good shop in ankara to change the language from a german touch diamond 2 to turkish (for usage with AVEA)?
And I just realized that I didn't crack the topmost surface but the deeper laying glass. Hmmmmm still working :/ I'm going to visit ankara this year and if it is cheaper than here, I might consider letting it repair over there.
I have sent it to UK via a friend. The repair shop in Ankara did not want to deal with since it was brand new under guarantee and they didn't know the device well. So I did not take the risk, chose the hard way, I think this seems to be the corect way.
I don't know yet the repair price though.
Regards.
Cracked mine too sent away under insurance and they simply sent me a brand new phone.
G'day all
My brother's HTC Desire (AMOLED version) kind of had a misadventure and now the touch panel is cracked. Does the whole screen assembly (digitiser and AMOLED panel) have to be replaced (like the iPhone 4), or can just the digitiser be replaced?
How easy is it to replace it?
got any pics, so we can see how damaged it is

you basically have to take apart the ENTIRE phone to get to the front. It ain't worth it.
Yeah you do have to take most of the phone apart to get to the digitizer but it's really not that hard. I did it on mine about 6 months ago.
There is a really good video on youtube that shows you ever step of the way and if you buy a digitizer already stuck to the front case part (rather than just the glass) then it's even easier (that's what I did).
Here's the link - have a look and see if you would be comfortable doing it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXZqIjtFoAU
Took me about half an hour all up but that's because i was taking my time to try and be careful. If you do end up doing it I can help you with who suplied my part (around AU$70) and some tips to watch out for..
Tas..
ps. that's of course if the AMOLED screen is still ok ? just a cracked digitizer/glass ?
I cracked the front of mine 2 days after I got it
Ordered a replacement digitizer of ebay and changed it out in about 20 mins using thye already mentioned youtube video.
Separating the digitizer glass from the case is really easy just blast it with a hair drier and it comes apart with no problems.
if only the digitizer is cracked then that's all you need to replace but if the crack is in the amoled as well then obviously it's both but it is not more work since you have to pull the amoled to get to the digitizer anyway
Hey everyone,
Just yesterday, I managed to somehow do this : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/62874133/IMG_20120815_022135-1.jpg to my phone. However, the phone still registers the touch inputs even on the crack ( see : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/62874133/Screenshot_2012-08-15-12-21-48.png ). Does this mean I just need a new lens as found here : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Front...ltDomain_0&hash=item53ee3cff34#ht_1596wt_1165 ? Or do I need a new digitizer as found here : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Frame-LCD-T...000?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc82f3618 ?
Thanks so much.
ohhh that sucks!!
I got my screen broken too and like yours touchscreen was still working. I had to pay around $40 to the local repair shop to replace it.. i think new lens will be good enough for you.. but before you buy, go to a repair shop for checking i guess

I went to 5 repair shops and they said that they would need to change the entire thing so it would be around $190. Which shop did you go to? The touchscreen works fine, so does this mean that they are wrong?
If I'm not mistaken the "display" is glued to the digitizer, basically the glass is the digitizer. If you do plan to separate the screen from the glass I would be extremely cautious while doing so. As one mistake can scratch the display.
The Glass, digitizer and screen are glued together, afaik this is what the "super" means in AMOLED.
You might be able to separate them, but I don't know of anyone who had managed to.
Tbh your best bet is to replace the whole unit
Separating digitizer from glass would be plain hard,but your digitizer is still in one piece.you could try it,but it would be hard and you need to be very careful.if you suceed,buy just the glass,if you break the whole thing,pay for the total replacement,you end up with the same thing.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yes they are glued and you have to buy the set. When they get calibrated together its then set. Separating them gives the chance that you may not line up where you touch and that same point on the display.
Thanks so much for your replies!
Well, considering the fact that a new Galaxy Nexus is $300 at a local store, I'll pass on getting the new digitizer + lcd panel. Has anyone tried taking out the LCD and putting a new one? (Like this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Front...6256&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=1&#ht_1290wt_1165 )? Does anyone know if it's still possible? I'd really like for this phone to be in perfect shape :/
Dropped my phone on asphalt today and got a big hairline crack across the screen . (Attached pics)
It really hurts cause i always baby this phone and just the rush to get to work and in my car, completely missed my pocket.
The screen is still responsive to touch and seems to be working normal thank god the lcd screen wasnt damaged and the digitizer didn't shatter.
Got a few questions t
1) just wanted to clarify that the digitizer lies ontop the LCD screen?
2) and that is all that needs replacing?(from damage seen in the pics)
3) also mine is branded just HTC(no carrier, so it's international GSM version?)
4) would it matter if i bought a replacement digitizer meant for the at&t version or not?
5) should be getting a one x that had some water damage and is no longer working. would the digitizer from this phone be a viable option for me to use as a replacement or should i just order the part online.( I really want it replaced fast and if i have to order the replacement it will take about a week to 2 weeks to arrive in my country
so apparently i can't attach any urls until i make 10 posts or i'd show u guys the part i wanted to order but its basically just a screen digitizer from ebay with tools needed for about $17.86.(is that cheap, good or expensive price considering the item + tools)
can you guys please search for it on ebay?the title of the post/part is Touch Screen Digitizer Glass Lens Replacement For HTC One X S720 + Free Tools
the link above is the item i'm looking to order for replacement. is it the right part i'm looking at?and would that be all i need or is there anything else i should add?also quality wise would it be top pick or are there any better options available?
Attached some pics also.Advice would be greatly appreciated.
You are unlikely to be able to separate the digitizer and lcd without damaging the LCD.
A water damaged phone may have a water damaged screen.
Search one of the other broken screen threads for more information.
I've replaced several screens on captivate.easiest way is get replacement(LCD+digetizer) from ebay,Google procedure.watch or read as many times as needed to feel confident to take apart phone.the hardest part is seperating LCD from phone(they use adhesive to secure LCD to phone).I used razor to carefully cut adhesive.
Most components are plug&play.just follow guide completely,u should be fine.
My LCD was $85 on ebay.good luck.

Well, today was a say day for me, for I dropped my HOX on some concrete and shattered the glass, phone still works and lcd isn't damaged... but I was wondering if theres anyone here who knows a decent repair centers in the UK, i've seen this http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/2511...ixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla&crdt=0 and i'm pretty sure thats all I need... I could even try myself
Perhsps HTC can sell us an original part, we could also ask for s one x+ battery. I don't know how much the one x digitisee and glass replacement would cost. The whole svren inc LCD is 160 IIRC so probably less than 100?
I also.have a damaged screen. My concern is whether the. Parts are really originals as claimed, be cause I'd like a real gorilla glass panel. Also, how do I reconnect the connectors I have to unplug to get the screen . Presumably it's obvious otherwise it would have been mentioned in repair guides.
HTC may repair and sell originals, how much for I don't know.
My LCD appears fine usually, but sometimes there is a yellow tint to some of the screen, presumably related to epoxy glue. Also I was pressing down on the Screen and now one of the cracks appear slightly blue Around the edges, not sure if this will change if I replace.
Finally I saw a story on xdA I think of a guy who Bricked his while trying to replace the screen.

From what I have seen in One X screen replacement videos and read in this and other forums the digitizer is not easily separable from the LCD. So most probably you'll have to replace the whole display assembly (i.e digitizer + LCD screen).
Nope
None of the replacement parts in this thread so far are close to genuine, and will be cheap crap.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320929331645?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
This is what a genuine replacement looks like, and costs. If it's under £100, forget it; it's crap. If it comes as separate parts, it's crap. The One X screen is bonded at the factory across the entire area of the screen - you will never get a good screen if you assemble it yourself, or even if a repair centre does it. You'll get an air gap between the LCD and digitizer, and therefore it will look awful in daylight.

Call up HTC. I've done some research, seems to agree with what is posted above.
I feel your pain.. I have a small crack on the side of my S3 screen. How bad is it? If its smalland on the side check out an overlay Luke by Spectre. They are about 4mm thick and are cut to cover the whole face of the screen
