This might not count as an accessory, but I'm looking to buy a replacement 0003 glass for my Evo. This isn't a separation issue; rather my friend dropped it and cracked the glass. I know you can buy replacement glass and digitizer for the iPhone for about $15, but the only thing I can find for the Evo is $130! That includes the full upper part of the phone, but I don't think I need all that. Unless that's all you can get, of course.
Even the places I know of like Repair Universe and DealExtreme that have other HTC parts, don't have anything for the Evo.
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks,
TJ
I assume he's no longer your friend now.

If its still within your 30 days call and add the insurance! There isn't any other option but the $130 piece, right now at least. More will become available but that's your only option now.

I got it on the day after the launch, so it's been longer than 30 days.
I guess $130 is better than $600, or whatever the replacement cost is.
Thanks.

Any news?
What did you end up doing? I just shattered mine.
u can get the replacement glass on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HTC-EVO-4G-...881258?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item23097a8aea
but it's way easier to replace the whole glass+lcd assembly:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-EVO-4G-OEM-...019912?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cafb6a348
obviously way more expensive though.
if you get the glass+lcd replacement you have to get the right type, there are 2 types (one for novatec and one for epson, they have different connectors). i think that seller has both types but check with him first
Yo guys, Had a bad day today.... Broke the screen on my phone. Does anyone know where to get replacement screen's from now a day's?

You broke the screen already!? What happened?
You not going to tell me that you didn't insure device worth 500quid?

ill admit that this is the first phone ive had that i DID insure !
What happened? ... How is broke?
I was wondering how long it would be before someone killed one. I very much doubt you'll have any luck sourcing a screen for one this soon after it's release, your only choice might be to contact Samsung regarding repair I'm afraid.
Haha, yep I broke the screen. Well I've cracked it any whoo. Still working perfectly fine . I dropped it yesterday when I was walking to work. Landed right on a curb....
Yeah I didn't insure it, never dropped the previous phones I've had, this ones a slippery bugger though.
I didn't think there'd be screens out yet, I'll keep my eyes posted for some. Anyone know any decent sites to check?

There wont be any replacement screens out for quite a while im afraid, maybe 6 months or more as this is such a new phone and all available stock will be going to make the phone itself or held by samsung for repairs. As mentioned before your only option if you want it fixed is to send it back to samsung for repair or claim under your contents insurance if you have accidental cover.

do you have accidental damage on your home insurance? might be worth checking if they will cover you that way. All my gadgets are covered this way, whether inside or outside the house.
God know's ha, I'm currently living at my mother's so no idea if she has or not! Ahhh well, as i said i didn't expect there to be any screens. I can still use the phone, and at the moment can't be arsed with the hassil of ringing all these place's to check if they will replace it. Thanks anyway's guys, Got a perspective from it if anything .
Did you pay for it with a credit card? You may be covered for accidental damage eg barclaycard:
Purchase protection
Buy eligible goods worth over £50 with a Visa or MasterCard credit card and they will be protected against accidental damage, loss or theft for the first 90 days, subject to an excess of £50. If any of these occur in that period, you should notify us within 45 days of the incident, and the police within 36 hours. You're covered for:

You might want to look into a warranty like square trade. I was looking at insurance options myself and square trade seems to be the best. They allow you to buy insurance for a phone that is up to 30 days old. It might not be the most ethical thing to do to buy it for an already broken phone but they wouldn't offer that service if it wasn't profitable for them.
The plan is not cheap, and there is a deductible for replacement but it beats having a broken phone for 2 years.

I am shocked . 500 quid phone barely a couple of weeks old and you can't be arsed to get it fixed? I would have literally in tears!
i saw on eBay it has already full housing.
The only parts site I know of is cnn.cn.
It doesn't look like they have anything for this phone right now though.
Well it isn't that bad. I can still use the phone perfectly and only notice the cracks when the screen is off. I can't get hold of a screen and am not dealing with insurance company a cause I feel them to be a majour pain in the arse. No point in getting worked up over something I can't change . I'll buy a screen when I find one online. Thanks for all your options though

I'll be going to china on december 7-8 and 14-16, i'll check it out for you, i'll look on the 7, and let you know, and if the price is ok, you can paypal me and i'll buy it on the dec 14, at present i'm searching for white nexus s battery cover for members in this forum.
dont expect the screen to be cheap, i remember the nexus s screen cost approximate USD 120 when the phone was first released.
I have had my Galaxy Nexus for 5 days, and have also cracked the screen.
Problem is I have no idea how it happened. Phone was fine this morning when I set out for work and put it in my trouser pockets. But when i got to work and went to use it there was a huge crack across the screen, about at the point where the curve starts.
So i thought i would try my luck and see if I could get it replaced under warranty, as i had not dropped it or damaged it in any other way, so felt it was a manufacturing defect. Unfortunately I had no luck. As far a Phones4u (Where ig got it from) are concerned a cracked screen is accidental damage, so i will have to pay to get it repaired.
Then they quoted me a cost of £40-£70 for the repair, with the final cost inside that range depending on the amount of damage they had to fix. Now if the fix comes in under £70 i will be extremely happy. When i broke a Galaxy S screen it was £70 for the part alone, so under £70 for the part and fix looks like a good deal, so i accepted thinking i would get nowhere with my warranty argument.
I am waiting for the catch as currently it sounds too good to be true, as i was expecting something closer to £200. I will let you all know how it goes.
Pics or it didn't happen
telepathically sent with my Galaxy Nexus which is being imprisoned by FedEx
pics
same thing happened to me, dropped from 2 feet onto linoleum.
still very usable, only somewhat annoying. guess i will wait a few months for replacements to appear. in the meantime i am ordering a case. also just want to say i have never dropped and broken a phone in my life before this.
Hello, everyone I was just wondering if anyone knew why the galaxy s3 screen replacement is 5 times more than the iphone 4s screen. The s3 screen is around 230 on amazon and the iphone screen is only 40 some dollars. I was just wondering since I have replaced an iphone screen and it was pretty easy and cheap. So if I break my s3 screen its going to cost more to fix it than it is to get a new phone with my insurance. Unless someone knows where to get cheaper screens from. Thanks
My friend has an iphone fixing business and says it's almost impossible to get real oem screens and all the ones you see online are Chinese knockoffs.
40 is expensive btw for a Chinese one.
A real iphone screen is about 100 according to him though the 10 ones are just as good.
(though he buys in bulk from alibaba)

Replacing just the glass for the s3 should run you about $25 or so.
Screen plus the digitizer will run you closer to $300.

Hey brother listen. There a repair center for samsung called RSI here in dallas texas. Its located in plano and they offer repair services for warranty phones and they charged me exactly $165 to change out the screen and digitizer. I have proof on this on my receipt when I had mine done. Its legit oem gear, no china crap. Check it out

The digitizer is attached to the screen itself, isn't it? (I know that the iPhone 4/4S and 5 have the LCD, digitizer and screen all fused together)
Are there any reliable sources from where to buy SGH-i747(m) screens?
Aside from going straight to a Samsung repair center?
No sure. Just got a replacement screen off of eBay and although it says Samsung on it I have doubts it is an authentic OEM part.

I currently have 2 SIII housings that some people may enjoy snagging up from me. Both had broken glass plates but those are definitely replaceable. I actually just got both of my SIII housing replaced for $150 total ($75/) by a Sprint technician that I know personally and he let me keep the older housing alongside the camera hardware but not motherboard due to him saying that he unfortunately has to send that bsck which stinks but no problem. Instead of spending $300 on two replacement SIIIs from insurance I got both fixed by a sprint technician for the price of one insurance claim even though since glass was broken he is not allowed to fix/replace device/screen. Anyways, anyone inrerested in picking up even one to practice or learn how to apply a replacement glass plate on the front?

What colors? How much? Could we get a few pictures.....
Yea , I can throw up a few pictures. Sorry, used to people already knowing that when I have spare parts I do not charge anything or charge very little for them. I will upload once I wake up a little nore for you all. I have 2 white housings. I will most likely guaranteed get rid of one but would like to keep one unless someone is willing to pay a few bucks for the second one.

Pm me please. I'd definitely like a white housing and am absolutely willing to throw you a few for it.

All PMs have been replied to. I didn't realize Tapatalk has been giving me errors when checking PMs so just figured people weren't interested. Sorry about all that. Will be checking manually now over the web for PMs as often as I can(Probably every hour or so when I am able to). Thanks, all.
So I've had my gs3 for a while and it shows. It's taken some abuse but it finally has gotten to the point wheres it's inoperable. i dropped it on the asphalt and broke the digitizer or the lcd or both and the screen doesn't work at all. Im using my sister's old iphone for now. Based on the prices for replacement parts i have decided to wait a few months for my contract to expire and get a new phone. Now I'm wondering what i can do with my gs3. I know phones are sold for parts on ebay. But would i be able to get more money if i disassembled it and sold the parts individually? The exterior really looks rough but everything functions fine as far as i can tell and it still connects to my computer. Also i dropped it in the toilet once but that was almost a year ago and there have been no adverse effects from it. would any value be lost just because of that water indicator? are there any other options for what to do with a broken phone?
Thanks
I would just list it on ebay and call it a day.
