My poor Desire :(

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.

Great job

good luck with the repairs

Job well done

Worried about the battery cover breaking - DON'T!

I was worried about it breaking when being removed but after seeing this video

Can you imagine a car body made of that plastic

Damn...I had no idea how decent it was. I guess Samsung really know their hardware.

Yea, I figured it wouldn't be that brittle.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

Normally when you bend plastic , it goes white at the bend point as is damaged/weakened , no sign of that here

This grade of plastic is more expensive than aluminium, and for good reasons. Im happy I have this phone and not one with an aluminium cover.

Great, I thought mine was going to break when taking it off lol

that's pretty damn impressive.
Not even fatigue

im amazed, but has anyone else tried this with theirs?

I was about to but then i looked inside my pants and realised my balls are not big enough.

Before people go trying this are we sure this is not third party? Don't recognise the logo under the camera, unless it's a carrier one?

I've tried it with mine, no problem at all.. It pop's right back to it's original state.. Did it however when temperatures were high (>25 Celcius), somehow i get the feeling that matters also a bit..
By the way.. The logo is of Anycall, it's the Korean telecom division from Samsung.

thats awesome, seems better than the SE Vivaz battery cover (my last phone)...
there's been no day i havent found something new and awesome about my SGSII =)

lmao nice one tbh first time i took it off was like omg its gonna break now i just rip it off lol but put my mind at rest im not gonna damage it

Has anybody tried bending their backcover like in the video, just in case it was a special rubber one

No way.. I wont try it

When I first took the cover off my new SGS2, I was extremely disappointed to see how flimsy the back cover was and was handling it like it was going to snap at any second..
Very nice to see that it is pretty strong, although I have no intention of testing the hardiness of my own one

Gutsy
It definitely took balls for that guy to try it on the video the first time. We can't even try it after seeing a demonstration!

I got so relieved when i saw that video xD
Got so scared the couple times i had to remove it
"Oh god, need to open the case again, its totally gonna break now!"
My thought every single time xD

[CONFIRMED]gio survives cola?!(with protection)

hi,
I just dropped my glass with cola, wich my sister putted directly near the computer mice, where also my phone was laying because I had it conenected to my pc. then I wasnt paying attention, had a tablet and was gaming (much thing at the same time I know.. ) on it, then moved the mouse, and the cola was everywhere, also on my phone. the first thing I did was cleaning my phone, then the mice and keyboard and the floor.
im very lucky maybe, but my gio survived, thanks to my screen protector.
everything still working fine, as far as I know.
only the floor is a bit sticky, even as the mouse pad,..,
long live my screen protector.

And thus, a New meme was born

I have dropped my gio probably a million times, it's very durable. You got lucky with the coke though.

This phone is very good!!

(8 drops from first i had it)

Dropped several times but still works like a charm

If it survives cola i think it survives water too, do you agree?

ofcourse, I wouldn't say yes if I had water on my screen, cola can be annoying and sticky, but lucky it isn't.
the cola whas on my screen protector, on the home key, on the sound thing at the front to call with, and also at the back a bit, so I think im quite lucky with that.
so a bit water isn't worse, but if its much, it is. so just get your mobile phone out of your pocket when going to swim or something, unless in a cola pool.

FYI , most phones are splash resistant.
As long as you don't fully submerge the device, it will function

hmm.... i read somewhere that phones are very unprotected against water, for example the article said that if you answer the phone in rain frequently it will eventually give your phone an early death. It also said that newer phones gets worse and worse in this problem

getting a random reboot one in a hour or 2... maybe the cola stilll did something.. hopefully not

By the way: the best method to deal with water damage is isopropylic alcohol.

Any body ever get the Yellow screen of doooooooom!!!!???

I experienced it today for about a minute and, it was just a yellow tint over the screen. My screen went back to normal after a minute or so. So the question is has this ever happened to any of you guys???

No. Your phone is probably going to explode soon.

This. I used to have an E4GT and then I got the YSOD and 5 minutes later my phone exploded, shrapnel flying everywhere. Still have a piece of the screen lodged in my groin, doctors said they can't take it out because the risk of losing my junk was too high. Was going to replace it but honestly, it's not worth the risk. Decided to play it safe and got an iPhone 4S instead.
Be careful OP, the YSOD is serious sh*t.

A yellow tint over the screen can be two things. Either your ribbon cable connecting your screen to the board is loose or damaged (new screen will fix the problem) or the GPU on your board was overheating (whole new phone if it burns up). Are you running any custom ROMs? What were you doing when it happened? Have you dropped your phone?

It happened about 20 mins. after using odin to go to stock ek02 I was reading an article in wikipedia and all of a sudden everything had a yellow tint I thought it might just be the site but, then I found it was the entire phone screen. I wasn't doing anything that could have overloaded the gpu and, I haven't dropped my phone at all. After a quick google search I found that it could be a software problem since some other people have also had this problem but, it could also be a defect with the screen.... If you have any ideas please let me know.

Also it went away after a minute or so and, has not come back. I have had no problems with anything rendering from the gpu other then this quick glitch.

No. I took a grenade to the head back in 'Nam. At the time they didn't have all these fancy surgical reconstruction techniques that they have now.

Was bored, so i photoshopped a Sense UI for the HOX

Haha! I'm not sure how most of you react to this, i wasn't really planning to share it either. Just thought i'd fire up photoshop a bit since i enjoy doing that every once in a while. But I thought meh, it won't hurt.
This concept is far from done, for instance the battery icon, the text message menu and a few other things i'm personally still not satisfied with. I was even planning to design my own imagination of an app drawer. If i had the skill to implement this UI to a rom i'd probably spend a few days trying to hit the nail perfectly, but guess what? I have not the slightest clue of anything to do with a rom other then flashing.

Haha! The things over there are beautiful. As much as i like the things there, i find things like this need to be implemented into a rom to have the full feeling. When you click it, it just doesn't give the level of satisfactions without a proper animation. This, of course, is just my opinion.
I remember designing my own homescreen using the apps and what ever else methods they had over there, i loved the design itself but when clicking an icon it just fell so dull. It would open up regularly. If the icon would bounce off the screen or if the animations are tuned(implemented). I believe that would not only give a good design it would make it feel good too.

Very cool idea with that text thing :good:

Looks like winmo on the HD2 hahaha

Allright but needs a lot more work.

Seems like a strange mix between Sense and Metro.
I don't think this would work.
