Dropped My Phone :'(

Hello,
I dropped my phone (O2 XDA Orbit) this morning and the plastic inset "border" for the screen has come loose on the right hand side and along the top. It looks like its been glued in place orginally and I'm wondering what glue I should use to repair it. Had a quick search through the forums on the site but didn't find anyone talking about this.
Cheers.
Dave.

Dont use super glue as it will likely go white and ruin your screen. Your best bet would be to have the phone professionally repaired. Alternatively, if thats not an option, try a little evo-stick (contact adhesive) sticks like crazy i fused properly. Or theres always "Gorilla Glue" if you can source it on the net, but it needs water as part of the chemical reaction...

I had a bigger problem, I put my full bodily weight on the phone. double and triple cracks along the screen. I bought a new screen and casing on http://cnn.cn for 150 dollars got it within 1 week.
Replacing screen and body is rather easy - do get the right screwdriver here for the very very small screws in body (4) and holding the main pcb (3)
got the original screen - the stickyness of the top layers = touchscreens is rather good. so I wonder how hard you dropped the gizmo

Any cracked screens?

Just wondering how everyone's phones is holding up since there aren't any real good protective cases or user drop test videos yet. I haven't dropped my oppo yet but I'm curious to find out who has and how the phone stood up to the fall.

I have for sure had some issues and I am not happy with them. somehow my screen has scratches on it, in 2 or 3 places. In the very top right corner it is starting to look like air bubbles under a screen protector, where the screen glass actually looks like it is coming off. It has fallen once, and bounced, the bottom corner of the bezel is damaged due to the fall. The scratches appeared on my screen weeks before the fall.

I took off the screen protector as it wasn't fitted properly in one of the corners, I have ordered more as the screen is a dust magnet. I have ordered the iFace Mall cases for my phone, it's so annoying having to order accessories from China because no-one in the UK seems to sell them.

I dropped my oppo twice by now.
The first time from about 30cm on tiled flor, and the second time yesterday from about one meter on tiled floor.
At the first fall it falls on the upper left edge, there you can see that the metalframe had prevented more damage.
At the second fall it fall on the display side. Now the "plastic frame" arround the screen prevented damage to the screen.

Ha I managed to drop mine today as well about 3 1/2 feet on to hard concrete and it bounced on 3 corners and the back cover popped off. I just knew once I picked it up that it was done for but the screen was untouched and the metal bumper took allot of the impact. If this would of been my old iphone it would of certainly cracked. Very happy with the durability of this phone.

I just bought oppo find 7 last week because of the good spec they offer but I was dissapointed with it after only 1 week. My oppo have been heating up frequently and sometimes a bit lagging. My phone was very hot on the first day itself while I was just setting up my new phone such as installing app and sync my account. I can feel it even with the casing. And it also a bit laggy when wake up from sleep. When I double tap, the screen will wake up but I need to wait few second before it respond. Sometimes I need to double tap to off and on again a few time only it works. Its sometimes get annoying when you want to access your phone quickly. But this, I still can bare with but what finally drew the last straw is the fragility of the phone. I always put my phone in the small pouch inside my handbag. And yesterday when I come back home, I found out the screen on my phone is crack. I was so shock and try to recall what I did and I remember when I ask my friend to pass me my bag, she did put down my bag on the table a bit harder. And that's the only thing I think can think of that cause the most impact. I was so sad and disappointed with oppo because the screen crack just because of this small impact even though its protected with a casing and a curve hd tempered glass. Its so different from what was advertised with the toughness of their guerilla glass if it can't even withstand this small impact which other phone brand have no problem with it. This experience is making me doubting the quality of oppo phone and its only been a week since I bought it. Now my friend and family also starting to doubt oppo phone since what happen to my phone.

Well a week ago my oppo fall on the road, cracking on the left side, top of it
I use a protective case of transparent plastic, but on the corners, near the screen, doesn`t protect well....:crying:
Finally, some days ago i discover that the cracks, are from my Nilkellin screen protector, and not the Gorilla itself!:laugh::laugh:
I order another Nilkellin H9 and im very happy to make the investiment on this, because it seems it really protected my screen!:angel::angel:

cracked and dead
Lets start this out with a disclaimer... I HAVE NEVER HAD A CRACKED SCREEN BEFORE... but I managed to be in a hurry one day at the store getting my son out of his car seat and dropped my phone from waste height onto the concrete... poof, the screen is killed and all touch responsiveness gone.. So, I order a screen off aliexpress, it gets here and I install it.... Two days later I'm on a bike ride up my favorite trail (phone in a padded pocket of a backpack) and I ate hit a rock coming down forcing my balls into my handlebars but overall still staying on the bike. Get to the bottom of the mountain, take phone out to turn off the gps, and there is my nice and new screen cracked again... again with no touch response.
Fast forward like 4 months and I finally calmed down enough to order another screen and try again. Let's see how long this one lasts, lol.... This time I did order a tempered glass screen protector from the get-go, so hopefully that helps.

Hi giznad. You replaced the screen or led the task to a technician? I can't find a video for the Find 7a. It was dificult to do?
Thanks.

Note 4 Repair Issues

I had my note 4 screen assembly replaced after I dropped it. However, the screen is no longer completely secured in the phone. The screen pushes into the frame if I place pressure on the screen and I can get my finger under the edge of the assembly on the top left corner. The home button is also loose, but gets tight like it should be if I hold the screen down. This is an annoying issue and I've recently noticed that dust is getting inside the phone, which I'm worried will cause hardware damage. The front camera is already blurry and cloudy from dust getting inside. If I take the screen off and apply new adhesive, will the screen sit in the frame like it should or is it impossible to restore the feel on a phone with a screen replacement to what it was like from the factory? I hope you hear from you guys, and thanks in advance.

I would take it to a local Sprint service and repair location (or where ever you got your screen replacement). They should be able to reseat your screen in the housing and clean your camera right up. In terms of applying new adhesive, you shouldn't really need to. The 15 some odd screws on the back should take care of it. Source: I'm a S&R Technician

Thanks for the help! My problem is that I'm hesitant to return to the shop where I got the screen replaced, because when they originally replaced it I was unsatisfied with how it fit so I went back and had them do some more work. It was alright at first, but it began to get steadily worse in a fairly short amount of time. So I'm a little cautious of going back there to ask them to do more work. If I asked them to reseat the screen assembly, do you think it would help? Also, is it possible to return to an almost-factory feel with a replaced screen or do I need to accept that the assembly will never be quite as tight as it originally was?

Similar issue
I had a similar issue and I took it back to sprint which they fixed regardless of my device being rooted.

Did you have the screen replaced before you took it to sprint, or was the screen loose from the factory?

you can find the replace guide at ifixit, I don't leave the link,you can google it.
If you want to buy original LCD screen ,you can go to the HCQS.

Samsung S20 problems with UV glue

Hey guys,
Recently I applied the UV tempered screen protector on my phone which had to be removed after tampering it. However, I applied a second screen protector (same type) and after the applying process i saw the glass quite separated around the top right corner as well as the power button came out as the rubber and the plastic holding it was quite dissolved, like it looked like it's worn off.
Now my phone's like 5 months old and there's no way that would happen, so I think it probably is due to the UV activated glue leaking through the button.
My speakers were fine, as well as the microphone is working as of now ( 5 hours after the application). The power button works fine as I put it back in and put my cover over it, however it keeps falling off without the cover as the rubber and plastic parts are broken in it. So I called the authorized repair center and they mentioned that they do not just replace the button, they have the whole set as in the frame and display which was very expensive, hence, I can't afford it right now.
I just wanna know if any of you guys here got any experience with the UV glue leaking to internals of a phone? I'm worried that it might cause damage to the circuit boards and other stuff inside and my phone might be unusable in a few days... Do such things happen?

General Replace your screen protector if there's air beneath it!

Couple months ago air got between the inner screen protector and the screen along the crease like we've all seen before by other Fold 3 owners.
When I opened the Fold today I noticed a few dead pixels right in the middle of the inner screen. Closing and opening it again apparently killed the whole screen along the crease. The left side is still working, right side is completely dead.
I think the screen suffered a lot when opening the Fold. The screen protector probably moved a little bit every time I opened it and created some kind of pressure to the screen because of the air underneath. At least that's my explanation for it.
So if you've got air beneath your screen protector, replace it before your Fold ends like mine..

When mine started to peel out, I've just taken it out completely. I've assumed it's safer that way, so e.g. sand does not get between the protector and the screen.
It's ca month I'm using it without protector and all works great so far (also there are videos on YT saying that screen presents better without it, but nonetheless I would not remove it unless it peels out)

I read that you loose warranty if you remove it, that's why I didnt do it. Now that I have to send it in I don't want to risk Samsung rejecting it because I peeled it off, you know.
There's also no official store close to where I live where I could have replaced the screen protector.

Taking mine in on Monday as I started to get an air gap at the bottom of the hinge... Hope it holds out until then

I got mine in mint condition from Swappa and it had the inner screen protector with no issues but after about a month of heavy use it started coming up at the bottom in the crease so I just removed it because it was getting hair and pocket lint under it and making the screen look bad. So far months later I've had zero issues.
Considering I got this second hand, I never expected a warranty anyway so if anything were to happen I plan on either trading it in for something else or paying for a repair at a local shop or do it myself (I own my computer repair business and I could probably figure it out)
