Hello guys,
My PDA2k's screen is getting all scratched and I'm blaming myself for not getting screen protection.
Anyway, my PPC is still on warranty from i-Mate Dubai. Would they replace the screen for free? Anyone knows?
Thanks in advance.
Hey man, true story - my screen has a crap load of scratches everywhere, but once you put a screen protector over it you cannot see them or feel them. Trust me, it works with my xda iis, and my xda ii. It's never too late to get one ;-).
Oh nice. But still, if it's free, then I would get a new screen and a protective cover for it. Won't do any harm.
i dont think manufacturer (sp) warrenty would cover scratches............ you find that they only repair free of charge if it is a hardware or software issue within 12 months of purchase. meaning if something inside has gone faulty and it aint your fault.
since scratches were not on the device when it left there warehouse, it aint covered, lol 8)
I have had vertical banding issues since day 1 with the LCD, and I contemplated returning the phone (to China) because of it. Instead, the seller notified me he'd pay to have the LCD replaced, either in the US at my choice of phone repair stores, or send it back to China and he'd send to a shop to do it. I'd do it myself if I could find a supplier for the LCD/glass digitizer (I have done it on multiple Nokia phones, including a 5800XM). Alas, while finding a suitable repair shop, I cracked the glass.
Am I the first one to drop the Galaxy Nexus? It fell about a foot onto bricks, and now I have a crack in the glass extending from the earpiece to the power button. I called around and I am the first in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area to break their Galaxy Nexus.. great. My case and screen protector haven't even come yet.
Does anybody have any advice on where to go from here? Do I ship the phone back to China (expensive, and I'll be without a phone for 3-4 weeks)? I can't believe I had my Nexus One for two years, dropping it all over the place, and it's still in beautiful shape, while this one has LCD issues from day one, and now cracked glass after a single small fall (that the Nexus has taken many times.. I need to stop driving with the phone in my lap).
done it many times (phone on lap when driving) then forget when i get out and it gets thrown out of the car onto the ground.
many places dont have nexus accessories yet ... ghost armour needs 10 days to even get a screen protector in (they put on a htc sensation cover for now - doesnt even cover the screen itself, let alone the entire from !)
I took a look at the Galaxy Nexus teardown on ifixit. Link HERE.
If you look at steps 6-8 you'll see that popping the screen/digitizer out really isn't too bad at all. The real issue will be finding the screen/digitizer in one piece for a decent price. I looked around on Amazon and EBay and failed at finding any for sale.
However, if you can find a screen/digitizer for under $200 somewhere I would follow the ifixit instructions and change it yourself.
I browsed through the teardown and it doesn't seem like that'd be an issue at all. I have done a fair amount of phone repairs previously, including lcd replacement and smt soldering on the phone's main PCB. The problem is that I can't find anywhere that sells the digitizer/LCD. Looks like it's back to china for this guy.
Yeah I've thrown the N1 out of my lap probably twenty times in the past two years. It's always taken it like a champ. I wish they had used gorilla glass on this phone.
I've dropped my GN twice already, once onto a concrete floor. So far, I've been lucky. Can't find any damage. It's not too reassuring to hear that it will crack so easily, though.
FYI, even Gorilla Glass isn't shatter-proof. Highly scratch resistant, but not shatter-proof. Give it the right point-load, and it will also shatter.
I know that Gorilla Glass isn't shatterproof, but I have seen unspeakable things done to my N1 and nothing has ever come of it. I'm still putting off sending this back to China.. I have a feeling it'll be gone for a month or more.
Ouch Sorry To Here Better Send Back 2 Repair
Mine's fallen from my lap onto pavement twice, getting out of the car of course, but so far my Otterbox Commuter has saved it.
My GN screen hair line cracked mysteriously.

Maybe it’s the new fortified glass design that’s flawed?
Maybe it’s weather related, from indoor to cold outdoors?
Maybe it’s just a bad design overall?
I just want to warn others of it’s extreme fragility.
Maybe it's you, bumping into something hard and pointy?
I've dropped mine twice on ceramic tile from waist height and had no damage other than a couple of scratches on the screen. Maybe it was just a particularly unlucky drop?
lol yeah phone on lap while driving is death for phones.... done that many many many times with too many phones.
update
BestBuy Canada's mobile communications manager Danielle has worked out a 50% off new phone option for me, as their policy they say is no "physically" damaged phones can be returned.
I have asked for an Iphone 4s 64gb in order to resell it and recoup my loss with via the accelerated deprecation screen defect of this galaxy nexus.

I've had my phone for about 2 months or so. Found out the hard way how fragile the glass was when my keys left a few minor scratches on it the second day of use. Well yesterday the hairline crack appeared between the power button and the volume rocker. Samsung says its physical damage caused by dropping the phone or having it in my pocket. What... I can't put my phone in my pocket anymore. Well the long and short of it is I have to send the phone back to the country of origin England in this case and I have to pay for the repair. I'm trying to find the glass assembly so I can replace it my self. So far no luck on Google. I agree with all the comments about the glass being too weak on this phone. Long live the Nexus one which I've switched back to till I figure out how to get this galaxy broken glass fixed.
I've got a broken line on Glass of my Gnex, I hate, very hate, this at only 4 month of usage.
Can i send my Gnex to Samsung and use a Warranty to change it?
This is a genuine question so I'm not trying to get anyone's back up, but is mobile insurance not that popular outside the UK? You can barely leave the stores here without being sold it!

I'm pretty sure phone insurance is popular in a lot of places. Asurion here in the US is only like $2 or $5 a month, with a $100 deductible for any smartphone that has been lost, damaged, etc...

I assumed so, but tend to see a lot of similar posts of damaged or defective phones and no mention of insurance. Always seems to focus on returns or DIY repairs. Just wondered if insurance was particularly costly overseas. Seems not.

I called asurion and was told that my nexus was covered. What I wonder is if I break, lose it or whatever will they be replacing with another nexus or give me a substitute. Anyone have more info on that?

In the UK you get either a cash value or a replacement nexus. You would only get a substitute if the goods are no longer on general sale. Usually electronic goods I have claimed on have been cash (minus the excess) to the phones purchase price. Make sure you have advised them and can prove the cost or you may end up with a settlement below the phones true value.
For example, my laptop was worth £500 when new, but I have only insured it for £300 as I know I can get a decent replacement and keep my premiums down. I have my nexus insured for £400 as I know this will buy most new phones outright should I lose it

I have had my Note 2 for almost 3 weeks now. A couple of days ago I was putting on the new screen and back protectors I got. You need to take the battery cover over to install..
So after finishing up, I snap the battery cover on and WTF?? The screen is cracked in the upper right corner!!?? Has anyone else run into this?
We took it to US Cellular and they say its not a manufacturer defect and will cost $100 to have it fixed.
This is BS!! I did not drop it, squeeze it hard or anything. I would be the first to admit if I had done anything wrong!
I have not contacted Samsung yet, I am trying to get more info if any others have had this problem...
Wow, you joined in 2009 and this is your first post!
On topic. Sorry that has happened to you. I can relate to the feeling of something deffective just few days after you've purchased it. I have never seen that happening to any of my devices or those devices of my friends' and relatives'...
Really weird. But one fear I have is to have the phone in my pocket and bending down to do something tightening the fabric on the pants around the upper leg area enough to bend the screen and shatter it...

Seriously... only a hundred dollars to repair?... can you please tell me where/who is doing that?. I dropped my phone and had a much more catastrophic screen shatter, everywhere I looked, it was going to be in the 270/300 dollar region for a repair - 100$ would be a really good price for repair.

do you have a picture of the damaged glass?
why take the extra step to take off the battery cover to install screen protector? used to have el-cheapo back covers, and currently using capdase bodifender and there was no need to take out the battery cover. plus the itsy bitsy plastic cover and its tips should not do damage on the glass screen unless it's defective to begin with since you said you didn't squeeze it hard when putting the covers back on.

I have insurance on the phone through US Cellular...thats what they quoted me.
But still its the principle, I feel its a manufacturer defect or it was stressed to begin with since the glass was installed..

You have to take the battery out since you need to use a bit of soapy water...they were cheap! $4 each on amazon with free shipping! :good
No pictures yet..:and no I didn't squeeze it when putting covers on..I did my GF phone the same way and no problems with hers. Definately a manufacturer defect. I will go in there Saturday when its very busy and raise a stink!!
Mine dropped from two feet and hairline cracked across the whole screen. I bought the full assembly LCD/digitizer. Did the repair per LE55ONS. AOK now. afterwards, I tried to pry apart the digitizer glass. In my Note II it is bonded with transparent gum covering the entire LCD. No way to replace only the digitizer on my version of the Note II
Why suddenly sooooooo....many thread about glass break in just differrent few minute of post?? Lol :banghead:

Hi
After 3 weeks I got this annoying problem. The external plastic layer that makes the cover mat is peeling off my phone on both sides (front and rear).
I brought it back to the store (Phone House Germany).
For me it's just a production problem, the glue that is detaching.
But the shop pretend it's my fault, and doesn't want to repair it for free, neither change the phone.
The are asking 335,72 EUR to repair it.
When the problem occurred I also had several reboots and sometimes the phone was very.
Both phenomena occurs even when not using the phone. I had reboots at night when sleeping. Or the phone became very hot in my pocket.
My suspicion is that the glue is detaching due to the phone becoming to hot.
My question is, are there other people who also have the problem with the cover that begins to peel off ?
In attachment you can see a photo of the cover.
i didnt find any issue because my XZL is white,
why its your fault man ? i think that is product defect.
can you give more picture, front side.

That's what I'm asking the Phone House, prove me that it's my fault (the have to due to article 5 point 3 from the Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 1999 on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees).
Article 5
3. Unless proved otherwise, any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within six months of delivery of the goods shall be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or the nature of the lack of conformity.
But I can not send any more pictures. My phone is already since 18-5-2013 at the phone house (repair center w-support.com GmbH).
I've seen this before and I think phone house has too, that might be why they don't want to repair it. This happens if you get some cleaning agents on the phone. Some window/glass cleaner does this. You either got some on your phone directly, touched your phone with some on your hands or put the phone on a surface that has just been cleaned with some.
A friend had this problem and also send the phone back. Either way, the seller has not to pay for repair.

Don't give up. It's definitely not your fault. Do you have authorized SONY service centers in Germany? Here in India, we have them, although the staff over there are incompetent and pathetic. We go directly to the service centers to get the faults corrected. If they are really hell bent on proving that it's your fault then head to the consumer forums and lodge a case against them. This is unacceptable. Btw, does it look that way only when you view from one particular angle?

wow its the first time i see that on a phone, if u said that it happens when it gets hot, it can be a battery problem as your phone is restarting. dude that really sucks, now that i saw that i wont change my white ZL to the black ZL..... dont give up SONY must replace your phone.
Neither Sony nor phonehouse has to pay when someone gets chemicals on their phone. And those picture sure looks like he did. Maybe he even cleaned his phone with some cleaning agents since it's not only one spot but several. Getting worse when hot could be a reaction of the chemicals in the cleaning agents.
I am sure most phones don't react well to chemicals.
If Sony has to start paying when people don't treat their phone the right way they'll have to stop selling phones at all pretty soon or they'll end up broke.

No not at all, its really a very tine film that's glued on the plastic cover at the back and front of the phone.
In front I mean the very fine edge around the screen. It's not really visible but I can feel it, that's it became rough.

It's from every angle visible. The black cover is in fact very glossy. It seems covered with a very thin plastic film to rend the cover matte.
It's that film that came lose. Every where that it has been removed the phone is now glossy black. The glossy black plastic looks very cheap

well if its my phone and sony dont want to replace/fix that i would take off all that plastic or buy a black housing. and just replace the back part.
After 4 months I got my phone back...but still not repaired. The way I was treated by The Phone House has made it for me a matter of principe.
They keep saying the damage was my fault.
Following article 5 point 3 of 'Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 1999 on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees ', they need to prove it. During this 4 monts they never did. They send me away with a lettre coming from Sony Xperia Support Germany where they state that they damage was caused by a cleaning product or other chemical.
If they think in German that Belgian are stupid, then they are wrong. I studied industrial informatics and I did had courses in physics and chemistry also. So I know that you need special and expensive equipment en products to conclude such thing. They didn't even look at they extreem heating problem of the phone. That may be an software issue, but the phone should be shut off before it becomes burning hot.
But I got one luck, my professional client is the Belgian Federal Police. I already contacted yesterday some of my relations at the police and monday he will look if the cover can be investigate by a forensic team of the federal judicial police. In that case I will be able to prove Sony and the Phone House that no chemicals where found on the cover. And that they were lying. And in that case I will let them sue for fraud.
That is one weird problem. I have had my phone for over 5 months without any cases or screen protectors and it is scratch free and not peeling.
...did you spill caustic acid all over it?
Joking aside might be a manufacturing defect as from the 3 people I know that have had this phone for a couple months without these issues.
Hi i just bought a Oneplus 3 but the glass is cracked and have read that you cant just replace the glass itself because its too difficult and would have to replace the whole display.
Has any one done this and found the replacement display to be worse than the original?
Also there are tutorials on Samsungs S7 edge which show how to replace just the glass, would this method work on Oneplus 3? VIDEO LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAdF_hNh358
If you are not experienced with these things, DO NOT attempt replacing such an expensive part yourself as you may damage your whole device. If you like to live dangerously and don't give a fuk to money or damaged phone, this could be a great DIY product.
it's pretty hard, but really isn't impossible if you're experienced. working on my own repair shop, replaced few just the glass, but few also cracked during frame removal (as of hard as stone glue)

Idk about you, but this phone is extremely easy to repair. I've taken this thing apart and its fairly simple. Now when it comes to only glass repairs, that's another story. Without dry ice its near impossible and with dry ice its still somewhat dangerous as the AMOLED panel is fragile as all hell. If you're going to do a glass only repair, do not do like that video shows, it is extremely hard to do with heat, freezing the display completely with dry ice is the way to go.
To answer the OP's question, no one knows. Oneplus does not sell replacement parts so the screens are NOT OEM, but they're probably of similar quality. Why not try it out and see?
haha thanks guys i thought it would be easy just to pull the glass off, i have seen a video on dry ice glass removal but if you guys are saying its near impossible ill just have to buy the replacement LCD off ebay

Well with dry ice its not too hard, you just have to be extremely patient and always keep the glass and adhesive at extreme temperatures. If you're the type of person that's really good at taking things apart and are very delicate with your hands, do the dry ice method. If not buy the LCD (I really hope these aftermarket screens are not actual LCDs) because you will probably break the screen
Have u done the dry ice method?
also i think it has the original screen with cracked glass but i think the Chinese replacement is lower quality but i dont know how bad it is and i am pretty sure their not amoled displays.
There are some web stores such as parts4repair that claim to sell OLED replacement screens for the OP3, though at a much higher price than the Ebay ones of course.

Some phones are quite hard and don't fit together well after taking them apart (galaxy S6 was just stupid) and then there's the OP3, take 2 screws out and pop the entire chassis out of the aluminum back, you can get to the screen pretty easily after and nothing is glued in place with indestructible glue
can one one confirm that parts4repair have amoled displays?
also if i were to do the dry ice method would i need to use uv loca glue before using new glass

wait a second. so you're saying that there isn't any original display on ebay? i'm also in the same situation as OP, even worse as i removed the display completely. i wanted to get a new one from ebay or aliexpress this weekend, but now i''m a bit worried. also, i noticed that there's the US and the EU version. Does the connector match? cheers

There might be, you can't be certain though. If you bought a complete replacement unit for less then $100 USD, it's likely just a cheap LCD panel. There is allegedly a small difference in the cable length for the screen component between the A3000 and A3003 models of the phone. The connector, and physical dimensions of the screens should be identical though.

No none of them are original... You most likely will get a really cheap non oled display. Don't be surprised if the screen cracks in your pocket.. I already have replaced it once on my old phone and I got a fake one and it littery cracked in my pocket.. Thats why I suggest you guys trying to send it to Oneplus first.
I just had my op3 repaired for a cracked screen and aluminum back panel was well. It wouldn't display any picture. Also my volume key was damagedd from the drop so they had to replace the entire back aluminum panel. I could swear the phone is brand new they did a fabulous job. The authorized repair center is in Texas it's Acer repair facility that also did one plus devices for warranty and out of warranty repairs. It's was extremely cheap compared to buying parts yourself. The cheapest I could find for the screen on eBay was asking$115-$120 and who knows the quality. This is original parts at this place. $130 for everything including shipping. The screen would have only been $95 but the extra aluminum back cost me the extra. They also sent a clear thin case with it too free of charge and I actually love the case. It's well worth just sending to one plus and having it fixed right with original parts. Also keep in mind they have a warranty on their repairs. I am extremely happy with the job they did.

I got in touch with Oneplus and told them the phone is second hand and they asked for the IMEI number. They told me that it would cost 87 euros £76 for me and this includes repair of phone and parts including VAT. But they did say that if there were further problems they would fix them but this would be added to the bill.
+1 for sending it into Oneplus, i am sending mine to a authorized repair centre CTDI in poland, so i know that the parts are gonna be original and not a cheap LCD display.

Good deal yeah its worth the wait to have it done right. Although it is tough to get by without it for a few weeks.?
I'm also sending mine. I got in touch with oneplus and they said the aproximate cost is 91€. Cheaper than getting a fake lcd from amazon. Cheers
