My poor Desire :(

Today I dropped my phone screen down in a parking lot and the screen cracked in multiple places. The digitizer and every thing else work still but the plastic is cracked. I need someone to point me in the right direction towards a new plastic cover and a how-to guide on how to replace it. Thanks

I need a new case. Where did u get that 1 from
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Ebay, and it's not even expensive search a lil' bit there.

good luck with the disassembly/reassembly. i'm currently waiting for my replacement glass for the desire s.

Should I be looking for already broken Desires or can I get the parts separately?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

Search eBay, I believe you can find them separately. Although i wouldn't do this by myself, I'd send it to HTC... See I'm afraid that I would break something and thqt it would not close afterwards and.......

Well I find myself to be rather capable with replacing parts like that so I think I will do it myself lol I'll post back here with the end result

Finally fixed it! Did it myself. Took about a hour. I dont recommend anyone to do it themselves unless its a last resort. It was super hard but works great.

[Q] HELP! - Red Screen Problem

Hey guys,
I came across a T-Mobile G2 for sale. It's in almost brand new condition. Problem is its screen.
EVERYTHING IS RED. It is so weird. Was wondering if anyone has a solution???
If there is an easy, not to mention cheap, fix..please let me know. I'd like to buy this phone.
Thanks for any and all input.

It could be a software problem? Was it like that before loading cyanogen?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

I just spoke to the seller about 20 minutes ago. He says it is not a software problem. It has something to do with the internal hardware. He got the phone analyzed and was told something needed to be soldered. After hearing this, I have decided not to purchase the device.
However I am still curious to know what exactly the problem is and how/why it occurred in the first place.
Has anyone come across something similar..even with a different device?
Thanks again for your replies.

Might be the ribbon cable between the screen part of the phone and the keyboard. This is known to affect the colors displayed on the screen if partially damaged. I think its pretty cheap to buy a new cable, and not too hard too replace it. But IMO its not worth it, as there is no guarantee that this is the exact cause. Could be something else. Plus, taking apart the phone is not the easiest thing in the world, especially if you aren't experienced with that sort of thing.
Totally not worth buying a phone that is known to have hardware damage, unless you are experienced trouble shooting problems with electronics and fixing them. I'd steer well clear of this purchase.

i got this issue too.. i need the G2 as my secondary phone.
so might want to get it repair. anyone could share whether its ribbon fault or the LCD fault?

I would absolutely LOL so hard if the red screen is caused by that option in CM7 that lets you change the screen colours and such. Are you sure that that's not what it is?

That wouldn't affect the boot animation, would it?

Yeah, exactly. He doesn't analyze thepost hard enough.
Anyway, I notice the phone so much slower after this. Not sure is this coincidence.
Thread starter.got the problem fixed yet?

So I have the issue as well
Thanks to @ihugyou for pointing me to this thread, did any of you find out how to fix this as it has happened to my G2.
thanks

Probably needs a new LCD or new flex cable, never experienced it myself so can't say which component is more likely, guessing LCD though

Ordered Kit from Ebay
Well for $21 + $4 (tape) = $25 I have ordered a new LCD screen for my beloved G2. It has been a while since I did any type of electronic repair but I figure for $25 I really have nothing to loose.
If not, time for a new phone.

After 1.5hrs I now have a new lcd and life is good.

Dont insert screwdriver into headphone socket.

Thought it would be a good idea to stick a screw driver into the 3.5mm port to try and fix the issue with my headphones not been detected.
Turns out using a screw driver just makes it worse, I have now cracked and distorted the back casing :banghead:

Try a chainsaw next time

Also do not use a pneumatic drill on the Headphone port.

Maybe the problem wasn't with the headphone socket.....maybe it was your ears. Time to re-focus that screwdriver action.

Yah, most will laugh but sometimes you do things you regret later, it's human.
Not everybody is perfect, especially not me.
Horrible but you can't revert, it's an expensive device.
I feel sorry for you.
Probably you needed a cheer up, otherwise you wouldn't post this I ques.

I do stuff like this all the time. At the time I'm convinced its a good idea and that nothing could go wrong.
Will my insurance company cover my phone as "accidental idiocy"?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Cool! So justout of curiosity. What did you do when you found out the ipone charger doesnt fit into the mini usb slot?

Thanks a lot for the advice, you just saved me from breaking my back case.
People here don't know how useful it is

Yeah probably they will I think, I will keep my fingers crossed.
Just call them and tell you putted a screwdriver in and you scr_wed the back cover plus earphone plug.
But please don't cry to them 'GIVE ME A NEW PHOOOOONENENENE', because that won't work I ques.

Did you sniff Krazy Glue as a kid?

But has it fixed any Wi-Fi/flickering/graphicglitch/overheat/case squeaking issues?
Check ya bootloader, you might be s-off now!

Plan B, anyone?

@JimmyEatFood,
Looking at your profile all seems ok LoL.
Probably it's glue or something hihi...
Cheers!

Keeping to the theme of sticking things where they shouldn't go, did anyone else try to pop out the SIM tray using the secondary mic hole when they first got the phone?

Did you? Hopefully not.
It did cross my mind as well but I do investigate and read the instruction manual before I do anything I don't know 100%.

GPS dead

It seems GPS in my old crusty HTC Desire died.
Does anyone have idea where i could buy a new GPS module for Desire?
Found one for HTC Desire HD but i doubt it would work / fit.

Repair in service is not possible (costs way too much, almost half the phone price)
It doesn't bother me since i didn't really used GPS, i always used 3G/WIFI for geo-localization etc, but if it's possible to fix then why not.

I found an antenna on a Romanian site. Doesn't help at all, but it's proof that one can still find spare Desire parts on the internet. Cheap too. It's less than 5 euros.

How did you claim it with warranty? And how long did it take? I have a note 2 as well, I replaced the glass. It was perfectly fine before I replaced it. All that was broken was the glass. And once I turned it in on became hazy I can still see but it's really annoying not having good clarity. Any help would be awesome. I posted a few pictures of what the screen looks like at start up.

hate to tell you man but it looks like you left the plastic on the inside. It has 2 pieces on the inside

Ensurion
If everyone is paying the $7.99 a month for the ensurion insurance, they cover loss. You have to pay $50 to get a new/refurbished device. But $50 is still cheaper than replacement cost. In lamens terms take what you want off of your device chuck it and claim a loss.

Hi, I've got the same issue after my glass replacement, did you solve it?How?
