My poor Desire :( - Desire General

Today I dropped my phone screen down in a parking lot and the screen cracked in multiple places. The digitizer and every thing else work still but the plastic is cracked. I need someone to point me in the right direction towards a new plastic cover and a how-to guide on how to replace it. Thanks

Ebay, and it's not even expensive search a lil' bit there.

good luck with the disassembly/reassembly. i'm currently waiting for my replacement glass for the desire s.

Should I be looking for already broken Desires or can I get the parts separately?

Search eBay, I believe you can find them separately. Although i wouldn't do this by myself, I'd send it to HTC... See I'm afraid that I would break something and thqt it would not close afterwards and.......

Well I find myself to be rather capable with replacing parts like that so I think I will do it myself lol I'll post back here with the end result

Finally fixed it! Did it myself. Took about a hour. I dont recommend anyone to do it themselves unless its a last resort. It was super hard but works great.

How anal does one have to be that this would bug you...

I physically hate you and you've fundamentally ruined my life. Omg even the keyboard is off!

This is actually bizarre!
I didn't notice this at all and I am quite OCD about most imperfections.
Now it seems like it is miles off centre! Lol

We should immediately start a petition to HTC to have our devices swapped over for one with an oj 2 mm to the left.
I wonder if this is a one off, or whether all of their devices have the same flaw?
One thing I can say for sure, it wouldn't happen with an iPhone.

Forgot about this already. Not too obvious since the placement of the buttons are good. Might kill those other obsessive owners. lol

that's ok - I always look at my phone at a slight angle anyway to correct it...

Parts

Dropped my RAZR M just 4 days after I got it. Kind of funny actually since it involves an iPhone but anyway...the screen is smashed. I know this phone is really new but does anyone know where to get a replacement display? I assume I need to get the whole display since the glass is fused to it. Thanks for any help.

It will be cheaper to get an insurance replacement for $100 than to wait for parts and get a digitizer, LCD, and glass for this phone (they are fused together in one piece, check out the teardown).
How hard was the drop?
Flat on the glass from about chest high with an iPhone landing on it...so pretty hard I dropped it on other time from about the same height with it landing on its glass again and it came away with so much as a scratch. I think its the iPhone that cause this.

That iPhone was clearly jealous.
lol, guess the apple doesn't fall far from the.. droid.. after all?
I would just pay the deductable and get a new phone as well. Then it would be back under warrenty (unlikely if you try to do the repairs yourself) and no dealing with unknown suppliers on a line of phones barely two weeks old. just my 2c, i understand your diy urges though!
I always say Gorilla Glass is marketing bulls***, Dragon Tail is better

I don't have insurance so I would need to pay outright for the phone. I'm gonna wait and see what happens this month. I got quarterly bonus coming so not a huge deal. Though I am pissed it happened at all.

[Q] Second opinion on touch screen problem?

Sadly do not seem to be having a lot of luck recently with my HTC Desire Z.
After looking over topics on this subject and trying most of then including using HtcCalibrate.apk.
Found a screen touch test app and got this result:

I hope you can see this image.
There are 2 lines 1 towards top of screen and 1 in the middle, where I can not make any contact.
I assume that this means replacement of digitizer/touch screen part?
Just would like second opinion or any more options before I try repair or pay for repair.
I have the same problem in my desire z,the non working area of the screen being the left of the screen and the home key.Also sometime the touch will just stop registering touchs alltogether,or register false touches.If someone knows,before trying to repair it,is it the digitizer,or the ribon that conects the two halfs of the phone?

Almost 100% its the digitizer

I have the same problem in a different area. How much trouble is this to replace? Can I do it myself, or is it technical? How much does the part cost, and where to buy it from?
Sorted
Well when I looked into replacing touch screen part, there is a you tube video you can watch to see how it's done.
Yes it is complex in my eyes but have a look here's link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9S7k1OJalM
Cost me £45.00 to get it done locally.
You can get part easy off Ebay if you want to do it yourself.
What's the part called? How to search for it?
Parts
Assuming you have the same fault as my HTC you need replacement digitizer.
Just type "htc desire z replace digitizer" into Ebay.
Is the repair easy for an amateur like me? Or is it delicate and I'd better get a repairman?
I find them very simple to replace but i have done around 10 for the vision and dozens on other phones. I dont think you need to be well versed in electronics repair for a job like this, its mostly screws and common sense.
Id say as long as you have a little patients and are willing to watch youtube videos and do a little research even an amateur should have little worries. There is no soldering or anything else that may be considered technical required.
only thing that may be a little tricky for a novice is separating the digitizer from the bezel, but its still fairly easy. for a little more you can buy it together if your worried, seen it this way on ebay at least.
good luck!

send it to HTC, nobody here knows how much it will take...
Looks like a failing gfx chip, you'll probably need a new mainboard.

If there is no damage on the screen or on pcb should be replaced in warranty, have you rooted the phone?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yeah, it's rooted. Unfortunately no warranty, I'm thinking to get a new phone.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Yes. But I have done some searches, this problem is quite popular, a lot of people are getting the same problem. This is definitely a faulty design or manufacturing.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I have the same problem. I just posted a thread about it. I havent rooted my phone and the problem is still there after a factory reset. I was told an app could cause the problem but already with the set up of the phone it all went wrong again. Going to contact customer service again on tuesday and see what they are going to do for me but I'm afraid it is not going to be much and they will never admit that the HOX is a huge failure and has lots of problems. This is my last HTC phone because I am really fed up with the quality and the bad customer service.
If the phone isn't covered under warranty have you tried contacting your carrier, if you got it through them?
This is CPU hardware problem. If you wish, pay over $150 to change the parts if no warranty.

if its not covered by warantee jus pop the phone open from the botttom with ur fingers and lift screen out there it a connecter on the top right of the phone just disconnect and reconnect that and double check all the ribbon cables or even keep pressed the cables and press power see if screen is back to normal. that should elimate if its the screen or the bored.

How did you claim it with warranty? And how long did it take? I have a note 2 as well, I replaced the glass. It was perfectly fine before I replaced it. All that was broken was the glass. And once I turned it in on became hazy I can still see but it's really annoying not having good clarity. Any help would be awesome. I posted a few pictures of what the screen looks like at start up.

hate to tell you man but it looks like you left the plastic on the inside. It has 2 pieces on the inside
Ensurion
If everyone is paying the $7.99 a month for the ensurion insurance, they cover loss. You have to pay $50 to get a new/refurbished device. But $50 is still cheaper than replacement cost. In lamens terms take what you want off of your device chuck it and claim a loss.
