Dropped my HTC Touch Pro2 and its cracked the screen!
The actual LCD is fine, and the touch sensitive part still works, but the glass panel that covers the LCD has big cracks running across it.
Anyone know where i can get this repaired? or somewhere that sells the parts so i can do it myself??
Rang HTC and its about 15 pounds for an inspection and 90 quid to replace the LCD (though i don't think it actually needs replacing).
I'm pretty sure I've seen them on ebay already.
Check there.
Have the same problem.
Ordered mine here
Only searching for service manual or just manual to replace it.
thanks for the reply. does the 'touch screen digitizer' have a hard plastic/glass back to it that covers the lcd?
Just trying to make sure its the right thing.
I phoned a few repair places up and basically everyone seems to end up sending it to HTC anyway, so that sounds like the only other option. Since 90% of the cost is labour rather than parts, i think i'll try and sort it myself first
Found these dismantling instructions, in russian so had to translate
http://www.translate.google.com/tra...a/htc_touch_pro2/&sl=ru&tl=en&history_state0=
anyone used Phone Hospital?
http://www.phonehospital.com/main.html
they quoted 40 quid which seems reasonable it saves me ages dismantling the phone. can't find too much info on them though
Shame to hear that...
It´s always good to use a protective case
Sorry about the loss. But it has to be said...
This thread is worthless without pics!
well, i'm going to give that phone hospital a go. i've attached a pic. will update in case anyone else drops their phone! It was actually in a case, but i'd taken it out to reply to a txt.
Is their a case that can protect the screen whilst still allowing the phone to be fully useable?
Someone already replaced his screen manualy?
You can get a replacement digitizer for your touch pro on Ebay.
Unfortunately there is none available for the T-Mobile US version yet.

Is it really glass? How does that work with a resistive screen?

The LCD and the touch sensitive portions are just different layers. A capacitive screen just typically has a specially coated glass layer, where a resistive screen has multiple layers to get input.

got mine back from PhoneHospital and it looks fine. However, the screen isn't aligned, and the "align screen" option in the settings just goes round in a never ending loop! Waiting to see what they say...
beginning to think the best option is just to send to HTC, soak up the cost, then stick the freakin thing on ebay because its just too fragile!

Hey Ribena,
Sorry to hear about your troubles.
My doorman's young son hit his fathers PDA with a hammer. I said I would help him sort out the problem - I would be grateful if you could let me know what PhoneHospital have to say about your screen alignment issue.
Rgs,
J
its being looked at now.
after browsing the web, i get the impression a screen alignment failure is usually due to a hardware rather than software fault, so at a complete guess i'd say its the new digitizer has not been installed properly.
finally got the phone back. difficult to see how phonehospital could have been worse.
Taken 3 months, and they've finally sent it back after constant pestering by me. They said it was now working so no refund was due. Unfrotauntely, it isn't working, the screen is still misaligned and the align screen option just loops over and over.
grrr.
I think the best option is to send it to HTC, which is what i'll be doing. Might cost more but
a. it'll get fixed.
b. it hopefully won't take 3 months!
That sucks. If it took 3mons and they still didn't fix the issue id say a refund is in order. Before I sent it in to htc I'd probably try my luck at it first.

What's up with my lCD screen? I noticed tis weird deformation on the screen with the protector REMOVED! I don't remember dropping it onto the screen or pushing it in really hard or anything. It looks like water but when I apply pressure, it doesn't spread out. Anyone?
BTW, there's no scratches, dents cracks on the screen. I always used a screen protector and I never leave it in the sun for too long.

that pic is with the screen protector REMOVED, correct? otherwise, its just a part of the protector that has become air tight or "sealed" to ur screen. removing and replacing the protector should work until it happens again lol.

I already sent it in for repairs. I hope I'm not at fault otherwise they'll charge me for the replacement phone. I never got the phone wet...
push around the edges of the screen, I had the same problem with my old diamond. having it in my pocket at work sometimes it would get a lot of pressure on on point on the screen causing this. it should spread out depending on where you press on the screen around the "bubble" thing
sometimes I had to use my stylus and drag across the bubble to try to stretch it until it dispersed. be careful not to press too hard with the stylus cause it might scratch the screen, but you'll know if your pressin too hard.
Mine has this as well. It seems after having it in my pocket over the last 6 months or so this happened. It isn't moisture but I think its just the built in plastic cover over the lcd sticking. This also happened to my original tilt. I don't think there is any way to fix it.

It is a "newton ring", there have been some threads on this topic. It's a defect in the LCD.
Did you flash back to T-Mobile stock before sending it back in?

Just Send it back
Send your phone back. i had an bubble like that on my touch pro2 for about two month and finally it cause my touch screen to stop working. The Tp2 has a screen protector over it touch sensor to protect it, when the screen protector cave in, like it did in the pic it would cause the touch sensor to go off recognizing it as someone touching the screen... and since the TP2 not multi you won't be able to use your phone. i basically had to lift the protector up to hint send.... but the funny part is the TP2 won't work without it so u can't just take it off. its like the protector have nerve in it that only the tp2 can recognize

I guess the combination of cold pavement and face down is also bad for phones. Surprisingly the case stayed on and tried to do its job. Now I have to try to get the local Sprint store to do a screen replacement. Thank goodness for insurance but damn waiting for them to open.
Not sure if I should be happy or not that my SGP Steinhall Oleophobic screen protector isn't in yet.
Anyway, you guys know if they will try to push a refurb phone on me or just do the screen replacement?
ouch that's gota hurt
From what I've read in the forums it cost more to replace the screen than to do a warranty replacement. And a Sprint repair tech said Sprint doesn't have the screens.

Thats what I am afraid of. Anyone know of a link online to order it from. I would rather do it myself if necessary so I don't have to lose my phone setup. I know it is restoring a backup once i flash something else back onto it but ugh. Just want to keep it.
If you have the total equipment protection you can file the claim here:

I used it to replace a cracked screen and got the replacement the next day.

Yeah that is what the store directed me too as well. No replacement screens online yet either so oh well. Ordered and waiting now.

But mine was a more or less a screen defect. It had a heavy blue tint at off angles.
I was told that they aren't allowed to open the phone up for repairs for 3 months according to the agreement they have with Samsung. beyond a reset and battery replacement, they either give you a new phone for software malfunction or for physical damage refer you to an insurance claim. My buddy works in this repair center and tried to look for the screen part but nothing. I don't mind. I picked up a cheap screen protector to keep the glass shards out of my fingers til the replacement comes in. No biggie.

Huh, weird, dunno about that. But they swapped out mine pretty quick.
Sucks what happened to yours, I've always been paranoid about dropping mine, seeing this doesn't help my paranoia at all...
At Sprint we will get you a free replacement for defects if you have TEP - but if it's your fault (like a cracked screen, or water damage) you have to pay a deductible to the insurance. You can call them and find out at 1-800-584-3666. Sorry, man.
Same thing happened to me. Phone fell about 3 feet, the screen cracked, but mine wouldn't even turn on. The Sprint repair store wouldn't touch it. The Corporate store wouldn't swap it out and I had to file a claim. The good part is, Asurion sent me a brand new phone instead of a refurb. ifixit.com did a tear down on the E4GT and the Super AMOLED + screens are fused to the midplane. They had to use tons of heat and guitar picks to get it off, which will make for an expensive replacement part or repair since it is fused like that. Sprint DOES NOT replace screens anymore under TEP which is unfortunate. I guess it got too expensive, so now if you crack your screen you will be referred to Asurion.
Sorry to hear that. Any hardened glass is going to be more scratch resistant, but more brittle as a result.
Since I saw A request of a teardown (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443139) I decided to do one at my work and since i own the TMO SGS2, I wanted to share.
And i must say this phone is all housing, compared to the Skyrocket and way different than the Skyrocket on the inside. (People had been saying they are similar or the same)
PLEASE THIS IS NOT A GUIDE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS FOR DISSASEMBLY OR ANY WAY TO FIX YOUR DEVICE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE IF YOU ATTEMPTED IT.
I work doing this and I've been almost a year and a half working in repairing and Programming androids. (and Blackberry)

How many screws, and types of screws, did you have to remove?
How difficult is it to replace the screen assembly? Does the entire phone have to be disassembled to get to it? Can you provide a few pictures?

Just the six you see on the back. Once you pop the back the board feels almost loose. I had to be careful cause when poping the back the board almost went with it. the screen alone with the frame felt rather flimsy I guess taking that screen of can be compare between the hassle with the Evo 4g and the Inspire (which I find the Inspire to be one of the stressing phones out for screen replacement.) Due to the fact you can damage the frame in the process. You have to dig the screen out. Unlike the i9100 which came out fast with a little heat.

But still its a risk I mean replacing it its not cheap at all! Almost $230 for the screen assembly. I am still trying to handle these screens (at least i was able to separate the i9100 screen from the frame with out causing further damage than it had, so I guess thats a start.)
If i get a phone for screen replacement Ill surely take pics.

Where can I order the OEM part from? I can only find it on globalpartsdirect.com but I do not have an EIN number to be able to purchase from there. That and they make you order a minimum of 2.
So that's what it looks like naked.

While the technology is capable of being applied to flexible media the amoled displays in our phones are applied to hard glass media and in fact are more likely to break than the gorilla glass leaving the amoled display shattered behind the gorilla glass. This is why you see so many "broken screen" phones for sale on ebay that don't turn on, the phone doesn't appear to fully boot when the amoled display is broken...
But luckily it isnt a lot worse than it could of actually been, as you can see from the pics, the damage is done in the bottom left of the pic (or bottom right of the physical phone if that is how you want to consider it). Apologies on the quality of pictures as all I had to take the picture was my galaxy tab 10.1.

I broke the screen on mine. It still worked just fine but had spidered all over and pieces of glass were starting to come out. I simply bought just the glass for it off eBay and replaced just the glass. Works perfect like it is new. Was under $20.

I, too, have slightly broken glass on my phone and have been considering replacing just the glass, but the display, digitizer and glass seem to be glued together on these AMOLED screens and I heard separating them isn't easy.
I might just play the 180€ and get it repaired at there official service center :/
It's much like the S3. I used the screen replacement videos from them as a guide. The key is to use lots of heat and work slowly. It comes off just fine from the digitizer. Getting it started can be a bit difficult to get under the glass, but once it's started just gently progress along and use a blow dryer on low heat. They are glued together, but can be separated with heat and slowly prying them off. Watch the S3 videos and you'll get the idea. I couldn't find and galaxy nexus videos but the S3 ones worked fine. At one point everyone said the same thing about them that you can't replace just the glass too can they are glued together. But they're quite separable.

Thanks, I will look into it some more. I just can't really justify spending the 180 I was quoted for to get the work done by some repair centre or spend 120 on the actual screen and digitizer and then doing it myself when this phone is hardly worth that price.

Exactly what i thought.

My phone has a screen problem which you can see in the image. The screen is not attached to body. When I push that side of screen with my hand it goes normal, so I think it is a adhesive problem. I need screen to stay steady because back button is hard to press in this condition.
So is there any bumper case which can hold screen attached to body so I can use it without any problem?
If nothing else, this case should hold your phone together. Other cases may work too, though it is difficult to tell if the small lip they have over the screen would be enough.

Put the glue on the end of a toothpick then run it along the inside edges of the screen and phone @sevindi

Dang brother, that looks bad. Very sorry to see this. Can I ask is this the result of dropping the device or this happened on its own? It doesn't look like it has any damage to it, have you tried contacting hTC?
As for cases, I prefer the thinner ones.
The Spigen Thin Fit has treated me very well on my hTC M9, and then now on my hTC 10. They do a good job I think with providing a nice thin product that actually does prevent small dings and what not (my 10 is still brand new looking and has been in this case with no screen protector since release day, but everyone's use is different). Color choice I wish they had black but the gunmetal looks great.
If I may recommend this:

Send it in with UhOh protection, get a new one
That's pretty bad.. Why haven't you RMA'd your device or at the very least contacted HTC?
As far as I can see from that picture, no clear signs of a drop either so...it should be a clear case of manufacturing defect.
Try tech 21, it has a lip around the phone. Good case too
I have seen a video about "disassembling?" on youtube. They just warmed the display up with some device, in order to reattach it. Maybe you want to have a look at such video to get an idea.
+1 for RMA before it gets wrecked fully.
Especially since i think it has some very nice degree of water resistance and dust resistance, when put together properly. You should let a professional take care of, to get the best result.

That'll be a heat gun mate, it'll also ruin most the glue sticking it down.. Probably not a good idea to do this yourself, if someone else has changed the screen out then RMA might not be allowed. If it's just gone this way by itself then Yea RMA for sure.

True words from this angle
I would not hesitate to send it in. I would rather send it to HTC instantly. Probably i would not even ask a forum about such

Thought you called me an angel for a moment there
Definitely send it in mate, if this has happened on it's own it's obviously a terrible defect, more than likely the battery has swollen, or the glue has come away or the phone has bent, or a combination of either.
Either way, not your fault and not a good sign, bearing in mind that this lump is a £600 phone! Not cheap and certainly not something i'd go dabbling with unless it was a last resort.
I stripped down a One X to do a replacement screen swap, ended up snapping a flex, and i'm a careful guy
So if you ask me send it back.

Oh sorry, this is lack of english skill. I thought in my mother language while translating. I was already told to better stop this. Anyhow, intentionally i wanted to agree on your point of view.
Yeah, better do not void the warranty by manually trying to repair it.
