So last night I dropped my launch day EVO and cracked it. Brought to independent store just now and they said they can't fix it. Told to go to corporate store or file insurance.
CS guy on phone with Sprint told me it wasn't physically possible to change screen...lying &*&^(*&.
I DO NOT WANT REFURB!! Just my screen fixed! Will the corporate store do this or will I get runaround again???
i took my phone to a corp store when it had white spots on the screen. in about 45 mins i had my phone back with a new screen and cover installed
Corp store will be the same unfortunately. Ill fix it if you're from south Texas

lol.....I remember that thread. Funny stuff.
OP: I'm looking at my cracked screen right now. I actually started a similar thread recently because I couldn't find the housing anywhere but found it minutes after I posted the thread. I bought this for $34 including Priority Mail:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220671323934&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I bought this for $25 shipped so I can replace this at the same time and have my phone looking new again:

And I plan on following this to do it myself:

It's costing me $40 less than my deductible with Asurion and I also don't want a refurb nor do I want to start over with my phone. The digitizer comes with peelable tape and the adhesive already on it, so no mission there. If you feel like this is something you can do, then here's something to think about.

Yep. Broken screens can only be handled by Asurion, who doesnt fix phones, they replace them. If you dont want a different phone, then dont drop it.

This is true...they won't do anything for me. I went to corporate store and they won't budge. I am really mad. Terrible (change in) policy for Sprint especially since I KNOW they were replacing screens not too long ago and I was told my screen could be replaced with TPE in the past. All of a sudden I can't.
I have apps in development/testing on my phone and I would really prefer not to have to switch phones. It seems so easy to just replace the freakin screen and that is what makes this so frustrating.
Thanks to the poster who posted the "do it yourself" route but I would prefer to not have to go through all that myself...I would prefer to spend that time developing apps and spending time with my family.
Instead it looks like I am going to have to pay $100 for a pos refurb that I will have to start all over on.
To the poster I am replying to...I have protected this thing from day one but accidents happen. Mine just happened 1 month too late apparently.

You know I watched the video and looked at the components...I think I might try it. So it is for sure just the digitizer and not the lcd?
Contemplating my next move. Still pissed at Sprint though!!!!!!
The digitizer is not as easy as it looks which is why I took the route of installing the digitizer preinstalled to the LCD. FYI I bought it from gadget fix too

Yup.....the LCD screen is a separate piece from the LCD. I'm going to try it. Worse case scenario, I can always claim the phone if I can't put humpty dumpty back together again. If you can deal with the screen as is for a bit, I plan on coming back here to post my results for everyone's reference.

Why do you say that? I'm diving head first into this as soon as the parts arrive, so if you know of any hardships that come with installing the digitizer, let me know. From the video, it seems pretty straight forward.

It is was very hard to get the screen to sit at the perfect height, it was to close to the LCD causing a water effect. also if you don't get it right the first time, the tape that is included, if you could call it that, is not reusable, since you already ought it for 35 or whatever you said theres no point in my advice now but for anyone in the future, find out what LCD you motherboard takes and save yourself a bunch if time and stress by just doing a LCD and digitizer together replacement. My two cents
You're pissed at Sprint because YOU broke YOUR screen? Hardly seems fair.
I posted this in another thread, I'll post it here too:
The $35 repair fee does cover exchanges or repairs without insurance. However, the policy was slightly modified as of Feb 1st. Any LCD/lens/digitizer with multiple cracks or a single crack longer than 1 inch is considered damaged beyond repair (DBR). An insurance claim would have to be filed. If the digitizer simply stops functioning, it can still be replaced under insurance or the $35 repair fee.
For those that would want to do the repair themselves, be warned. There are two different types of Evo screens. One made by Sharp and one made by AUO. They are not interchangeable.

The policy changed due to abuse. Customers were coming in for 3 and 4 screen replacements because they kept butterfingering their phones. It got so bad that Evo screens were backordered throughout the entire company at one point a few months ago.

No, what hardly seems fair is that when I got the TPE replacing the screen was INCLUDED IN THE AGREEMENT. On top of that people with the same plan same insurance same everything had their screen replaced FOR FREE just last month. But for some reason I have to submit a $100 claim and recieve a refurb. That is why I am pissed at Sprint not because I broke my phone. I admit it is my fault that I broke the screen but Sprint changed the rules in the middle of the game and Sprint is treating me different than other customers who pay and have the exact situation that I do. NOW THAT HARDLY SEEMS FAIR.
I would be willing to pay extra on top of the insurance and everything else I pay for to have the screen replaced but it is no longer possible to have the screen replaced NO MATTER WHAT.

I agree with this. I told them I would bring the parts in myself and they could charge me for labor and they said they were "not allowed" to touch my phone because it had physical damage......even if I wanted to pay for it.
Hey there all, I originally bought the good ol' Samsung Epic a few months ago with a bad ESN and a slightly cracked touch panel at the bottom. I have since activated on PagePlus (am looking for a replacement carrier, see page 2 of this thread if you would like to help with that ) which makes the ESN problem semi-moot for now, but I have noticed that what was only a minor crack on the "menu" key seems to have morphed into three hairline spiderweb cracks going up and across the lower half of the display. They're not too distracting, but it seems they are getting worse without "turbulence", and after my experience attempting to replace the touchpanel with the same problem back on the HTC Diamond, I am now very very leary of screwing this up again (I tried peeling the touchpanel off the Diamond and discovered that it is stuck to the stupid screen so tightly that you destroy the screen by attempting to remove the touchpanel).
What I want to know is, has anyone tried this, and is it feasible to replace just the touchpanel without breaking the screen? And please, before you ask (because I've seen this in every other thread I've looked in), a warranty repair is not an option. One thing I had been reading about was that some Sprint stores had been doing a sale where it could be fixed for $35, I was wondering if that was still going on, but it's okay if it's not.
Thanks in advance.

There are youtube videos that make the process easier. The EASIEST way would be to replace the whole top half with this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=370562568610&cmd=VIDESC&index=23&nav=SEARCH&nid=96831014597 and you don't have to de-attach your glass, just the back part to get to the flex cables. You might be able to get the sprint store to replace for $35 but not likely.

If you can point me to exactly where on YouTube it tells how, that would be ideal 'cuz I already searched but came up rather emptyhanded.
100+ dollars is quite a lot to pay for repairs on a machine I bought for fifty anyway. I'm thinking more in the five to ten dollar neighborhood.

You didn't buy it from Sprint, it's not activated on Sprint and it's got a bad ESN, so it's unlikely that a Sprint store would touch it (Bad ESNs often mean stolen, so taking it to Sprint might mean a big mess). Your best bet is to find a parts donor on EBAY or sell this as a parts donor. The 35 dollar thing isn't a sale, that's what Sprint charges for repairs on their phones in most cases.

Trying to remove the LCD from the glass is next to impossible; the samoled display is so thin and glued so tightly to the class that I've never been able to do it successfully. Your best bet is to just buy a whole screen unit as the previous posted mentioned. Replacing it is a cinch.

I've been dealing with the same situation on my wifes phone (cracked glass, not the ESN/unactivated issue). Bottom line, the YouTube link posted above is a very good tutorial on tearing down the Epic, and the vendor who posted it also sells the parts needed. What I've found, as others alluded to, is you basically need to replace the whole screen and digitizer in this situation, due to the SAMOLED LCD technology. something like a 120 dollar part from the vendor I mentioned.
this next part is moot for you because I also doubt Sprint will touch your phone without an account/activation etc., but...for those who are curious...
the best I could get from my local Sprint repair center the manager agreed to replace the screen (I do have the TEP plan btw) on my wifes phone in exchange for buying from them 100 bucks worth of accessories. Reason being, technically a broken screen is an insurance issue, something not due to hardware or software failure/malfunction, unlike the speaker/vibrator module that just went out on my own Epic and they replaced for free (would have been 35 bucks if I didn't have TEP). So instead of my paying my 100 dollar deductable on the insurance and getting a reman. phone, I can get my wifes phone fixed and get something for my 100 bucks. He called it "win-win". While that is true in one sense, it still kind of rubs me the wrong way. But what choice do I have? Fix it myself for more than the 100 dollar deductible, live with it, or buy 100 bucks in accessories from them? Ah yes, business is business I guess..
The epic is really tricky to only replace the TSP. Not impossible, but it has a ton of adhesive around the entire inner lip of the front housing, so like previously mentioned, a heat gun or blow dryer is absolutely required. A pry tool and a small Phillips screwdriver is also needed. As well as patience and care.

Well, spending a hundred dollars on a fifty dollar phone like that sure is outta the question. I'm going to probably cap the budget in this repair to about $35.

Interesting. With shipping it comes out to about 45 or 46 dollars, which is just below the going rate on eBay. I was hoping to pay a little bit less, but I'll keep this one in mind.
It isn't actually an LCD though - it is just the SAMOLED mislabeled, right?

After about a year and a half of joyful use with my HTC desire...It died two days ago...in a tragic twister accident...the screen no longer displays anything but a few white lines, yet the touch screen still works...i just cant see what im typing...or what im doing, not very practical.
Now What should i do now...send it off for repair, being in mind it has a custom Rom on it, Or just buy a new phone...another htc desire? or?
Thanks for your opinions
You are considering getting another HTC Desire? A 2 year old obsolete piece of technology?
Man you have a valid reason to upgrade then why not do it. At least go with HTC DesireS or something.
Haha my desire is like my son!
haha, true this is my opportunity...TO EBAY! lol..not sure if i really trust ebay tho !
You could get a beater phone and use it until you find a phone you want on eBay, kijiji, etc. Or until the one you want releases.

Sensation imo.
Or maybe step outside the square and go Nokia Lumia900
I would say send it for repair, there is no issue what so ever with your phone contaning custom rom, to my opinion it is just your LCD display died, it is nothing compare a new device cost, if you repare it you mite even get a good price for it, which will make your new phone cheeper.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
I don't think repairing it will be worth it. The display costs about 60-70 Euros and if you don't repair it on your own, it gets even more expensive.
I got a new Nexus S for my girlfriend for 200,- Euros, so...
If you got some "good hands", there are planty of you tube movies how to replace the lcd, and if you go to item number 300640556669 on ebay, you will find the display for about 28€.

Thank you for all of the replies, I went into the 3 store. they said if it is accidental damage, it will be repaired for free.
as their is no visable scratches or damage, i hope they can do for free.
Now, once its repaired, i might try and sell the desire, and get a sensation...and if it cant be repaired, ill try to fix it my self, which will be a fun project!

Check warranty before anything
Before anything I would high recommend going on to Samsung's website and see if you are still under warranty.
My phone was "broken" too and before I did anything I was lucky enough to still be under warranty.

My phone was "broken" too and before I did anything I was lucky enough to still be under warranty.

I actually work for Samsung and set up warranty repairs for phones the phone is OOW by condition. there will be a charge to fix, which is right about $160 to repair. but it creates a 90 day warranty on the device.

You breaking the screen is not covered under warranty.

Who's your carrier and did you buy insurance ? For 7 bucks a month T-mo will replace no matter what or how something happens to your phone, including loss, (or kids). Last I checked $130.00 deductible, but for a 500.00 phone I'd say worth it. Just be sure they don't try to palm off a refurbished phone to you.

Rule one... never give your kid your phone. Hell... my wife won't go within 5 feet of mine and my kids act like its the bloody plague.
Rule two.. search and Google. CNN.cn amazon. EBay. All have what you need.
Rule three. Don't let kids use your phone.

LOL, my kids are the same way with my phones and tablet, but I let them play on carpet and in the car ONLY! If there's a chance, they already know the answer.
I'm in the same boat with a cracked screen, does anyone know if there is a resin of some kind. Also I just had this phone swaped out by tmobile and I might be able to play a warranty card. This would be a really good bussiness if someone could come up with a crack screen resin . I have serched and only found one you tube video, but they are not selling a product.
My carrier is Telus..But when I purchased the phone I didn't need insurance cause it was for me.
Then comes the new Samsung galaxy nexus so I got it and gave my son my s2x...1 week later he.drops it
I'm waiting for a few friends I have in China to see what they can do

I just recently cracked my screen on my phone and I had it replaced. I had hd2 before that and I dropped on the ground and I had it replaced. T-mobile works with Asurion. I'm sure Asurion will ask you for the deductable which is about 130 dollars so go ahead and give them a call. They send you another phone by next business day. Make sure you explicitly request a new phone. 866-268-7221. This is Asurions number for tmobile clients.
Back in action just received my new screen all assembled all working

Do you remember where you got the part? I am having a hell of a time finding one. I am looking for the lcd and a screen replacement for a decent price. The only one I found was $130 on ebay.
They go for about $65 used, grade B-C. New ones are $100+-, MAKE SURE U ORDER THE RIGHT ONE! These phones can be completely taken apart and reassembled in less than a half hour. Any questions, hit me up.

Yeah, u can buy NEW, but as soon as u turn it on....ITS NOT NEW ANYMORE! A "fully working" used one is just as good, believe me, I fix about 6-8 phones a week for fun and also so my friends dont take their phones in to get fixed just to get taken for hundreds and hundreds of dollars when IT DOESN'T REALLY COST THAT MUCH TO FIX PHONES.

Used display
Some S2 used displays have a dead pixels or gray lines. Which is getting worse with the time. Mine looks like "zebra" especially in the cold weather. So better to invest in a new one. Ebay has it for about $100 now.
Just FYI.
A new screen is roughly $90-100 on Flebay. I won't be fixing the t989 I found in my Pile 'O Junk, as it still works fine. Could probably buy a whole new one for that price.
However, the LG E970 with the broken glass and digitizer is going to get a new display... for only $75.
I got 2 t989's with serial numbers about 200 apart, both had cracked screens, I bought a new screen for (at the time) $145, then id swap motherboards once in a while for kicks, then my buddy wanted to buy one so I put one together all complete, damn near brand new condition, and noticed when people called they couldnt hear us (him), like as if the mute was on. Also, I shot some video with the camera and was saying TEST TEST 123 and played it back and couldn't hear anything. Any suggestions?
