Aria Screen/ Digitizer

It's a new record for me... I had my new Aria/Liberty/Intruder all set up and inside of three days dropped and T-boned the screen
Anyone have ideas on where to find parts for a Aria? I understand HTC is notoriously slow about releasing aftermarket parts. The repair guy I took my phone to encouraged me to help him find the part.
Many thanks-

I used to order all my blackberry parts from here. Very good reveiws. There across the seas but shipping is usually quick and even faster if you bump it up.http://cnn.cn/shop/htc-aria-c-277_1068.html

Thanks Kudvu002! You saved the day!
I found one on ebay, but the shipping's not as quick.

Have you tried taking it apart yet? I'm trying to get a little insight on the disassembly. It seems like you can pop off the top yellow cover but I wasn't able to get it off and didn't want to force it.

anyone knows where to buy the digitizer for the Aria? cnn.cn shows the digitizer in stock,, but when you go to checkout it says it is not....

Ordered mine about a week ago but it says it was shipped, now I just gotta get it apart!

digitizer replaced
So I followed the tutorial found on android forums, it was relatively easy, i forgot to take pictures of the steps but i can write a tutorial if anyone wants it, because the tutorial on A.F. is a little vague. But I have found a solution to the cracked screen problem, I went to Best Buy to see if they had the Zagg shield (which they do, it's for the Intruder/Aria/Liberty) but they also had a new case which looks a little more resilient against dropping. The case is made by Superior Communications (BB item number 35307BBR) and is pretty rugged looking, anyways let me know if you want a tutorial written up, i will try to get some pics to do it with.

so I'm about to replace mine.. any tutorial with pics available?

for those of you that have ordered and recieved their replacement digitizers, are they AT&T branded still?

Yes they are.. and they are not original part... there are some differences... and after the installation you will have the light that turns on the -home- menu-back-search buttons to filter into the screen. I finished up adding the insurance and getting a brand new for $50.00 and sold the old one for 200

I can have a tutorial up by tomorrow, unfortunately with pics of the full install but close enough to get you there. The screen I bought was an HTC oem screen and ATT branded, there aren't any that aren't branded so far. Lemme get the tutorial together and ill post it tomorrow.

I've seen this phone shown off a few times withut the AT&T branding and with just the HTC logo at the top/middle and would prefer that digitizer.
(and no I wasn't mistaking the HD Mini for the Aria lol) Wonder how long before those are available. Probably will have to wait until another carrier gets the phone IF anyone else decides to even pick it up.
The button light issue is quite a drag tho. Sucks. You could try to add some sort of tiny strip above the capacitive buttons area to shield the light from leaking into the viewable screen area.

here is a good video showing a Disassembly of the phone, it might help.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMI7sNY5YZg

doing this now...it is a HUGE pain in the ass

ok, to anyone who tries this BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU PULL THE RIBBON OUT
I pulled too hard and like an asshole I broke the "plug" piece off of the ribbon and it's stuck in the "socket"
looks like it's time to try and scam AT&T again

[Q] Where to buy replacement screen

Something fell off my shelf and feel directly on my phone earlier, cracked the screen to hell. Actual screen part is alright, but the glass is destroyed.
I have been looking for a few hours trying to find a place that has them in stock but to no avail. I am looking for a US or other North American based seller as I do not have the time to wait for a shipper from Hong Kong or elsewhere in Asia.
Does anybody know of a website or specific seller on eBay that is reputable or just has them in stock, any help at all would be very appreciated.
Thanks

the only way youre going to get the a super amoled screen replacement is contacting samsung.... samsung does not distribute their super amoled screen. other sellers "Claim" its super amoled,but tis really just a cheap LCD screen.

I would be willing to take a look at these sellers. I've gone through Google and previous posts here rather thoroughly but cannot find a place that has them in stock.

+ 1. Where to buy? ETA on back in stock?

Bought my replacement screen from mission repair.com. Broke the keypad cable so had to order from ebay out of nj.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I used this vendor: http://www.repairsuniverse.com/samsung-vibrant-t959-lcd-touch-screen-replacement.html
But they're out of stock at the time.... Be sure to be very careful with the ribbon attaching the captivate buttons to the screen, and in general, just take dismantling the phone slowly, and it'll go fine.

got mine from ww.globaldirectparts.com/category-s/6611.htm
it was way cheaper back then though. $65 or so ...

does anyone know if the capitvate screen would fit on the vibrant??? please let me know

I just broke the GPS connector of my vibrant. It still works fine except for GPS. I can sell my vibrant w/ broken GPS at $65 + shipping from California. Do u want it? Pls send me a message, if someone's interested in my phone. Thx.

the guy who posted above you they sell parts for all phones

I recently bought a screen for a friend's captivate from http://stores.ebay.com/sbstoreonline. The quality of the screen was the same as on my vibrant and the price was right ($62.99). I'm certain that what I bought was a Samsung part adn not a knockoff. The double sided sticky tape was applied to the back of the screen - all I had to do was peel off the plastic covering the tape and lay it down (I saw some adds that show a seperate adhesive kit).
Shipping took about 3 weeks...

very easy to replace the back housing, i had to do it cause my bezel was scratched after dropping it. Bought a white one from cnn.cn and worked great had all the antenna's. 27 bucks and the white bezel looks pretty nice on the black phone. Probably took me 5-10 minutes to replace it. very easy to do.

Its just a battery housing why is there a need to remove everything?
takes me just 15 seconds to remove the battery housing and put on a new one.

That would be the battery door your talking about. I assume since he is looking for the housing he means the whole back plate and bezel.

ah...my bad..

I'm also looking to replace my housing. The sales associate dropped my phone after I paid for it and he wouldn't take responsibility because I gave him permission to show me the features. I bought it in HK and the return policy doesn't really exist there.

that is crazy, don't think I would've left the store without making a scene lol. Like i said you can search ebay or cnn.cn. They both have them, i bought mine from cnn because it stated that it had the antennae's. Very easy to replace about 8 screws.

How is the condition of the "china" made housings? you can find the OEM or original ones. How does it compare to the original one?
I am just using my phone without a casing, and I just figured the original housing is my best case, when I've worn it out I'll just get a new housing.

There are two types of electronics in Hong Kong: Domestic and Imported.
Domestic would be Samsung devices specially fitted with Hong Kong firmware.
Imported would be devices fitted with another country's firmware, and shops in Hong Kong would flash a HK firmware onto it.
This was my case, I bought an imported version which was originally from India.
A HK firmware was flashed onto the phone which voided the warranty.

I can recommend for parts http://www.parts4repair.com/, they sdnd me working usb module and great service. They should have housing as well.

just be careful, don't wear wool/electrostatic stuff while doing it(touch something connected to ground to discharge)
Use tools, and don't force anything. Take note of where everything was.
Also just change the minimum. Sometimes its fun to take stuff apart. However that way you can seriously damage other stuff.

I'm interested in this as well, my boss dropped his week old GS3 and cracked the screen so I need to replace it for him.

I'd say that's a good price for what I've been seeing. But are you sure you're looking at an s3 LCD replacement and not the s2?

now I have a GT-I9300 that needs a new digitizer. I called Samsung up again, and they won't have anything to do with it. Say I have to call support in the UK. BAH! It's the same part..
Sooo.. Anyone have the best option for repairing the glass/digitizer on a GT-I9300 in the states?

Yeah I cracked mine a few months back.
Tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890708 to change the glass and ended up accidentally tearing off the digitizer and basically cooking it.
Sent it to Samsung, $180 and 8 days later they sent it back good as new. New glass, digitizer, screen AND bezel (had a slight crack in it). Definitely the route I'd recommend going.

That's pretty good deal when you must replace digitizer. All I see on ebay (at least fro Verizon phones) is $200 minimum. Here you will not only get this thing professionally replaced, but also not have to do it yourself, and end up paying less!!!
I wish I was aware of this option before I went about ordering digitizers on ebay, and to add insult to injury ended up ordering a wrong one

Get one with he home button on it. That means you will get one with the bezel which means much easier install. Just unscrew and replace. Ones without bezel are pretty tedious as you need your old bezel.

I'll be calling samsung tonight to get a quote but for my and future screen breaker's info please answer this:
On ebay you can see pics of the back of the assembly showing i535 or i710 or i9300
is there actually a difference in these? some sellers say that a i9300 lcd will only fit the i9300 not the i535 or i710
is this true or are they all misinformed? i'm sure samsung will say there's a difference but has anyone actually replaced their assembly with a different model?
UPDATE** when i talked to samsung i learned the answer to my question!
the LCD is the same across all platforms, glass too.
the frame however varies. i also read about someone using a different frame than what their carrier used, he had to mickey mouse the whole thing, said he couldnt use his home button, and to use the lock/ power button he had to roll up tape and shove it in... all in all the whole thing was rattley and far from factory.

send to samsung

Screen Replacement

So...I polished my HWatch a little too much and wore off part of the bezel.....In my incessant searching, I found this.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...3489-4c2a-acd6-843db467ef02&priceBeautifyAB=0
I hope this helps anyone looking for a replacement bezel / screen. I purchased one myself....waiting for delivery. However, it does not come with a side button. I plan on using mine....but have no idea how to place it on the new bezel. The seller indicates one needs a professional tool, but does not specify what.
Update: They indicate that they have cases with the button. I'm looking forward to replacing my beat up one. $14 for a shiny new watch, can't be beat!

Thanks for your suggestions. May i see what damage have you done to your bezels? Just out of curiosity

Thanks for the information! The contact points on the back of my HW are completely burned. I ordered replacement case + back for $10, allowing me to repair!
