Only had it 5 minutes . wife dropped my wedding ring on the phone , got to work and the screens cracked. It must have had a week spot. Glad i forgot to take the free insurance out of the basket when purchased the phone.
Just thought i would share my woe with some people that would understand my loss.
Oh would definately reccomend brando screen protectors as the screen is still smooth nad functioning perfictly.
That's ......
I hope I never face that problem, I can't live without my TP2
But I never take of my wedding ring
(Did your wife dropped it or did she throw it??
Anyway, I wish you luck in the next TP2-less days....
Man that s**ks! Hope you get it replaced soon. It's always horrible when things like this happen and you have to live without your device for some time. Might be you're lucky you only had it 5 mins, otherwise you'd been growing more attached to it.

Ok, that's really bad luck: Taking of your ring to be careful, and it costs you your TP2.

And that is... if the insurance company will do anything about it?
If their check is a day late... they are fast as lightning, but when they have to pay...
I'm quite convinced the repair centers of HTC (EuroTwice for the Netherlands/Belgium) will have the screens in stock.
You'll not be the first, and definitely won't be the last to crack your screen.

see, I was planing to sell my MT3GS, but I had to get down from a 3 meter high sealing for a show, and when I was practicing how to get up there fast I forgot to get the phone out of my pocket, so I got up there, and when I sat down, it fell to the floor (I was sitting in a really thing place).
Luckily, the floor was wooden, and the screen didn't break, actually it works (and slides) perfectly well.
BUT the problem is that now the screen (the part you slide so you can use the keyboard) is kinda separated from the keyboard, I can press and it goes back to it's place, but as soon as I stop pressing down, it separates again.. I was wondering how can I fix this, and if a simple disassembly (and re-assembly) would fix this.
omg, I really wanna fix it, this phone is REALLY special for me!! (I bought it on my first trip w/ friends to the US)..

Its easiest to have HTC fix it, or just get it replaced.
get it replaced?
that will work if you like the SLIDE, but if you want THAT PARTICULAR phone, try to get it fixed with HTC

"if you want THAT PARTICULAR phone"? and will they do it even if I live in Paraguay (South America, they don't sell phones here)??
They will repair/replacee it anywhere in the world.

how much would I have to pay for it? And how can I contact them? (SORRY, for being such a dummy, and thank you for wasting your time helping me)
$90 (USD) for full replacement, so i guess it would be less for fix

I've looked up in htc.com but I can't find a section to ask them for the replacemnt.. where do I do it?
So I droped my phone and now I have a purple spot in my screen.
I was wondering do you think I can get a replacement G2 even if I have S-off. I was thinking about just flashing the stock rooted backup I have and sending it in. Has anyone gotten a replacement with S-off?

you would need to go back to stock to send it back to tmobile or you will be voiding your warrenty

Obvious physical damage is unlikely to be repaired under warranty unless you have paid extra for this kind of protection.
Search around and you can find an LCD to install yourself. This is one EXAMPLE (I don't know the provider and there are other places to buy them from, possibly for less money...)
http://www.gultek.eu/htc-spare-parts/lcd/desire-z.html
Thanks for the info but I think the phone gods really like me or something cause the purple spot just disappered...how I have no idea and I don't care but it is awsome...G2 #1 lives on to see another day with me

Yeah, LCD's can be funny like that. Like touching a laptop screen gets you some funny colors. They are somewhat flexible, on a phone, the flexible lcd is somewhat protected by the inflexible digitizer.
Year at first I was very disappointed cause I had the spot there for about 30 mins the posted this thread, went to sleep and it was gone which made me happy...would have sucked ifap I did send it back cause I just put one of those stealth guards on my phone the full body cover one.

I think the best thing to do in this case is to brick the phone to the point it doesnt even turn on. Discreetely of course. I had major water damage on my TP2 with a custom rom before. But the fact that the phone didnt even start up and that I bleached the moisture indicators helped me get a warranty replacement.

You're late to the thread (and obviously didn't read it through). His problem was just temporary. Also, your solution is in extremely poor taste (both ethically and legally).
I sent my g1 in, with a crack all the way across the screen, discoloration everywhere, and lots of other scratches. (fell out of my pocket from a motorcycle) and they offered me the "upgrade" to the click at the time so i took it. I wasnt charged anything, and what they dont tell you is that if you are charged, its only gonna be 100 bucks, which is the same as what you'd pay with insurance.
Well with my g1 any problem I had with it I just sent it in for a replac ement and all it ever costed was $40 but I think that's cause the plan I have. But not sure about my g2 now cause I haven't had to send it in for a replacement yet "knock on wood" but I do wonder how much it will cost me to get a replacement.

It only cost you your soul for 3 years, which should be worth a whole hell of a lot more than a measly $100.

I knew that the OP's original problem did not apply anymore. The purpose of my reply was rather to share my experience with the others reading the post, ethics aside. As far as legality goes, you got me there now that I think about it, so I am forced to advise against doing this. Although in reality I hardly think it's any worse than not claiming the money earned from selling a phone, laptop etc., on your taxes.

That depends... how many phones and laptops are you selling? Your used stuff? Or are you in that business? You may be perfectly OK on that, consult an accountant for precise details.
So yeah, i dropped my Evo and I have a cluster of dead pixels now. Really noticeable on a white background. My question is, does sprint repair the screen or do I have to pay a deductible for a new phone? I had my phone less than a year, but i just got a free replacement phone about a month ago because of a faulty charger port (not my fault).

How many dead pixs? If you have insurance you should be good just tell them your pixles started dying don't tell them you dropped it. If you say you dropped it they will tell you it is cosmetic issue and won't wanna fix it unless you ***** lol then they will You should be good to go get it fixed man,
its alot. about the size of a dime or so; scattered here and there. You think they'll go for that excuse? I have insurance btw

If there isn't any significant damage to the frame of the phone I don't see how they could tell you no. The phone is under warranty for a year and dead pixels should be covered under that.
Yup just take it in lol you have nothing to worry about man.
Kool beanz. Ill unroot and go there tomorrow and see what they tell me.
SCIENCE!!!
Nah, it froze up after user "t" on voxer added me as a friend(most likely a fake hacker account). After pulling the battery it locks up on the HTC boot screen. when booted into recovery it seems the system and cache partitions will no longer mount. Verizon let me upgrade(as i was out of insurance replacements) early to a rezound(which appears to be following a similar S-OFF situation-whiny impatient do-nothings crying foul over the wait and then of course the wait itself)
anywho im willing to give it to anyone interested in research and development. you just have to pay shipping(if its even worth it lol). If no one wants its just gonna get chucked.
BTW-off topic but whilst i wait for my rezound to come in the mail a friends letting me use a motorola photon on his sprint account and that phone sucks. the camera button sticks(its like 2 weeks old)and it freezes every so often.
You can probably still save it. Do you have adb set up?
yeah but everytime i try to flash a new recovery or anything at all for that matter(including trying NANDROID restores)it freezes and i get a failed message in adb and fastboot. something along the line of "to many reads" or something.
Did you try unrooting?
well its on GB(Virtuous Affinity), and from what ive read it has to be on froyo to unroot, and without being able to flash anything i kind of...cant
after reading this-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393538
it would seem it wasnt a hacker, but the tiniest drop of coka cola that fell on the front speaker grill, the voxer user thing could have just been a coincidance as this guys phone seems to be doing the exact same thing.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/incredible-2-rooting-roms-hacks/120950-guide-unroot-revolutionary-incredible-2-a.html
so.. how much for shipping??
I don't think i can save it but i hate to see if just thrown away
yep, even flashing using the pg32img method causes it to freeze, but ive editted my last post right at the same time you posted this so im fairly sure its useless to everyone now, but if someone wants a fancy paperweight its still up for grabs
and andy-shouldnt be much- it weighs almost nothing and with USPS flat rate shipping boxes maybe like 10$, ill take it by the ups store tomorrow when i go to pick up a case for my rezound(theyre right next to each other).
theres one thing im not-nostalgic except for the inc1 which was a soldier. it brought a tear to my eye when i found it dead.but for saving it, if it is a moisture problem, here in Birmingham(al not UK) we have smart hpone repair places all over the place, the only reason i didnt take it to one of those is verizon went way out of their way to ensure i wouldnt switch to sprint(which i threatened to do)

yeah that why im thinking it was that tiny drop of coke that slid down the side of the can a drip right into the front speaker grill(note to self-dont leave the phone in your lap whilst drinking something)tried to blow it out, but probably just blew it further in.
edit:because it was only a drop and not much you can have it for your fiance, then take it to a smart phone repair shop. I dont know what the prices are around you, but here its only like 95$ to clean it out(if the screen has moisture damage they replace it for a hell of alot more,but this ones fine), being that its probably that drop causing a small short. If your wary id be happy to send some pics.

yeah, you know lol, like when your drinking from the can and the slightest bit slips by and gets all over your nice white shirt-well it landed like bullseye on the speaker.-its either that or the hacker theory cause they both happened right before the phone went nuts

I bet it was that Carnivore got into your phone and devoured itself from within the motherboard...
Hi, on Friday 9/23/16 my friend in school thought it was a great idea to play a joke one me and steal my phone and run away with it so I could chase him around for it to make him look "funny."
In the process while he was running he dropped my OP3 which I got 2 weeks before and the screen is shattered. Now the device still functions but I just can't deal with a broken screen especially when I recently got the device. My friend is paying me back but what is my best option? Get the screen repaired? Get a new OP3? I honestly don't know.
If you could help me out that would be great.
Thanks
I can't post a picture as I have only made 1 - 2 posts on here, if there is any was I can post a picture let me know.
Get a new friend, contact oneplus and they will fix it, or try to see if any local shops can fix it, it seemed pretty easy to take apart
Or you can sell it to me ?
