Cheapest place to fix the glass of GN 2? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Everyone,
Okay, I am NOT going to do it myself.
I would like to hear from anyone in the US who got their N7100 glass fixed.
Where you got it done, How much did it cost.
I've seen lots of posts of places that I could send it to - I'd like to hear from anyone who actually got it done and how it came out.
Thanks!

Lost stylus can anyone tell me a compatible replacement??

I have this link here to a store (which I truly dislike BTW but they're fairly close) and they have sytlus' (stylii maybe?) for sale. I just bought my blue angel on ebay and I didn't see that it did not come with the stylus. I've been using a pen-style stylus now and it works but for those quick times I just want to pull it out of the case and go. Can anyone tell me if another brands stylus would fit to their knowledge? One from a Palm or HP PDA perhaps? here's the link if anyone knows. I also thought about contacting Cingular directly because it is a Cingular branded phone. Anyone know if they've had any luck with that? Thank you very much in advance.

It's not the money I see them online a lot I just didn't want to have to wait a week. I was looking for something more local. But thanks for the link
Ah... I don't know of any that would work.
I am sure there has to be a few that do, but don't know of any.
You could always buy it then return it if it didn't work.
Well I picked up some for the HP 1900 that looked pretty close but this package is sealed up TIGHT so I don't want to open it and then have the wrong ones. I think I'm just going to ebay it and wait the couple of days for it to get to me.

Replacement housing for Excalibur

Hello there friends!
I'm thinking on getting a replace housing for my aged Dash, so it looks decent with the wm6.5 ROM
. I think the procedure is similar to replacing a broken screen, and I only need a T6 and an opening tool...
Does anyone knows where to find one for a reasonable price, besides eBay?
Do anyone knows if a "dummy" phone would serve as a donor?
Has anyone here done this before?
i searched the forum, but couldn't find recent info on this
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Please read the sticky as is guide linked not sure exactly what want but should give good idea

I am actually trying out the same thing. Waiting for my dummy to arrive. Sears has T6 (in Illinois) for like $3. And you need a precision Phillip's head too. I bought both today and spent right around $7. Dummy shipped from NJ on Monday. I will let you know when it gets here if it works. I read in an archive on here of another HTC model dummy having all the same outer housing and some inner parts as real phone. Keeping fingers crossed for real. Would be awesome to have a 'NEW' phone with 6.5 and in all black too.

Found it on eBay. Local T-Mo store was supposed to have on but girl never went to look for me after she sold my brother a phone. She said she thought they were glued. But like I said I read on here of an older HTC model having all the same outers just no inners. Tracked it this morning. Should be here tomorrow morning. As long as it has screw holes I can make it work. My old silverhousing is 3 yrs old. I take good care but 3 yrs is 3 yrs. Will let you know.
Doing a little of search found this:

Sad to report
Yeah I am sad to say that my dummy phone came in the mail today. It was an EPIC FAIL. The only possible salvageable parts may be the keyboard. And that would be with some modifications as I do not think the buttons are transparent. The back of the screen where the LCD would be is solid black with the image printed on it. And the screw holes are different. I might be able to do something with it but I doubt it. It has none of the needed posts to place wires and circuit boards as the OEM. It was worth a shot though. I want a black DASH but don't really want to pony up the $100 or more for it where mine works fine. Its just ugly in silver. Calculator like. Ah well. So there ya have it. The dummy phone is a no go. I would post pictures but why bother. Anyone know where I can find an all black housing that is NOT clip on or a case? I can find the silver crap but not the black ones. Well thanks if you can. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.
too bad to read, friend.
i'm checking everyday @ebay and I've found an HTC branded one for $29... I'll keep looking
too bad i came to late, i would have told you dummy phones are not the same housing as regular phones, i tried it with several sprint phones when i worked at radio shack, they are made differently.

Yeah well its ok. My kids can score a cool spy toy now. I just want a black housing. I HATE the silver crap. I would take a red one with the silver crap but all I have found is green, pink and orange. Still looking though. Was worth a shot. Lesson learned.
Well how does $25 sound, shipping included?

Dash 3g LCD
From what I'm hearing, the LCD for the Dash and the Dash 3g are the same thing.
Should be easy to find -

Can anyone else confirm it? Any guides/step by step on how to do it? I assume I will still need to get a housing
First off, it would be good to know what exactly happend to your phone. Like, what kind of accident. I may be able to help you with the issue of getting the phone apart.
I have the US Sprint version of this (s511 HTC Snap) and have a cracked screen from a drop to the floor. There are dash replacement screens on ebay for $15-$30, but ot find any confirmation that it for sure is the same one. There are instructional videos on youtube as well. I haven't done it yet, also waiting for confirmation that the dash lcds are okay.
Just dropped my Dash 3g this morning and am looking for the same info. Dammit! Should have gotten the insurance!
i would also like to know if the gash screen is the same as the dash 3G to repair a phone.Anyone know? Thanks
Bump, I would also like to know. It'd be nice to snag one up from ebay and replace the screen P:
Hi
does anyone know if they are the same? Cant find any replacement screens for sale on ebay.

I'll fix your HTC phone or provide parts
Hey guys. I have gotten alot from this website so I would like to give back. I own and operate a mobile phone repair shop and would like to extend my services to this forum. Most of you seem pretty techical so even if you just want the part (microphone, ear speaker, Loud speaker, LCD) I will provide it for you at a low cost plus shipping of course. I mostly deal with hardware issues so please don't PM me or post asking about software, I am a total noob when it comes to that!
Thanks again to all the rom builders and contributers who have helped make my phone awsome!

Screens and Repair Video Available
First, to answer one of the questions asked previously in this thread: This is not the same screen as the original Dash. The LCD itself might be but the connector is very different and the two are not compatible.
However, there are now several places online selling these. Just do a Google search for "t-mobile dash 3g lcd part only" and you'll find some people selling these. Note that they're quite a bit more expensive than the original Dash screens. That should change over time, though.
There's also a video of this repair on YouTube. You should be able to find that by doing a YouTube search for "Dash 3G Repair". This is actually a pretty simple repair (even easier than the original Dash) so if you're a little handy this shouldn't be too tough.
Anyone knows exact part number of screen? (Manufacturer and part number)
thanks.
DASH 3G parts
My just out of warranty Dash's trackball broke, I tiried to fix it myself and succesfully opened the dash3g, no good to me now so if someone wants a parts dash with no trackball I might be interested in getting rid of it, wend back to DASH 1 until I can get a Win 7 phone from MSFT .....

[Q] Replacement Housing

I was thinking of getting a replacement housing for my HOX as mine is looking a little bruised and battered, but had a couple of questions:
1. Are they a genuine HTC part?
2. I have just had my phone fixed by HTC due to WiFi problem and wondered if the new housing will give me the same problem.
3. Are they are good??
Thanks for your help

couple of threads are going around asking the same question..have you had a search in the accessories section mate?
nah i do not think that a new housing should give you any issue regarding the wifi.
should be good yes...if it was easy to do i would love to change the housing on my phone but to much hassle...check ebay for housing cases but be sure to read feedback first before going ahead and purchasing it...
but first have a look over at the accessories section here on the One X forums
Thanks will have a look :good:
Yes they are genuine parts, and I already did a big post with photos showing how I changed my grey/black model to a white model.
It's easy enough it takes both a little force, and a little delicacy but its fairly simple.
Here is the thread...

[Q] Has anyone swapped a Sony display for a Sharp one?

Hi everybody,
I hope something similar hasn't been posted already, if so please forgive me. I've been doing a lot of reading and researching and haven't found an solution to my problem yet.
I accidentally broke the LCD screen in my Internacional HOX.. took it apart to see what Display I need and it came with a Sony Display. Has anybody had one of these in the international version??? All I've read is people having it with the ATT one... Mine is the Tegra3
Right now I'm in Nepal, and can only get the display from UK in a couple of days with a friend that flies in the country. Found some really nice Displays selling in the UK and Germany, contacted sellers but only one was able to respond and say his product was made by Sharp.
my question is... Can I change my Sony display for the Sharp one??? Or will I have syncing problems, color reproduction fault, etc?
I can't really afford to buy one of those expensive displays and send them back, airmail here takes over a month and seller would not replace my display. So I can't really test.
Anyone done this already?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!
