Chipped casing

Edited because I was steaming drunk and it didn't make sense.
So I went out and had a few to many drinks last night. Walking back I stumbled into a wall while texting which resulted in me dropping my phone on the floor and chipping and scratching the phone casing down to what appears to be silver.
Fortunately the phone is ok, but as I'm a bit of a perfectionist I won't be able to rest until It's fixed.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for pointing me here. I've looked at the guide and I don't know if is be confident enough to do it myself. If I paid HTC, would they replace it for me?

Offcourse... how much to pay, that is the question. If you pay them enough, they just give you a new phone ; ).

Only camera I have is my phone. The screen is fine, would've got chipped if I didn't have a screen protector on.
It's literally just the edges of the phone and most of the purple faceplate.

Ring HTC and see how much it will cost.

My guess is well over £100 from HTC.
The only risky thing that I can see in doing it yourself is removing the digitiser.
They could have made the build so as everything is not housed/mounted on to the inside of front fascia though.

Yellow spot - Where do i stand?

Hello
UK customer here.
I purchased my first handset from the T-Mobile store and after a few days i had the flickering problem.
I took it back for an exchange and on the 4th day noticed the yellow spot.
I just contacted the store and asked it i could come in and get another swap, his answer was no it would need to go for repair.
Where do i stand???

i also have the yellow spot in extreme bottom left corner and visible in white screen only i dont want any hassel so i m managing howevr

I have it also in the left bottom.
I don't care.
Cheers.

The reason I'm so bothered is that the store said I can return it as many times as I want and they would replace it.

Take it back and demand a replacement. Store managers generally aren't too bright. Contact trading standards if you need to. Tell him you will keep coming back until they get it right

If it's within 14 days, they usually replace it for you. A repair is not acceptable for a 4 day old product.

Agreed. I'm pretty sure a replacement can be demanded after such a short time.

The manager said no, repair only.

Then go above his head and make sure you lodge a written complaint and name him in it. I doubt he will be so quick to do it again when the area manager gets his ear chewed by head office. Then I would go into the store and smile at him maybe with my tongue shoved in my lower lip but then I'm petty and vindictive like that

Has anyone had any success with onex screen repair?

I dropped my onex and managed to break the screen. I replaced it with a galaxy note 2 but I still love the onex and would like to salvage it for use with my second line.
Has anyone had any success with having the the onex screen repaired?

I dropped mine too and replaced the screen myself. If you have a little experience you won't find it difficult. Btw you can watch many how to videos on YouTube and find fairly cheap genuine replacements on eBay.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I never did it myself, there are several guides on YouTube but I think the most crucial step is ordering the right part ie screen+digitizer already put together and not one of those parts seperately.
most likely only your digitizer is broken, not the screen itself but it is rely hard to place a new digitizer yourself, a big chance of misalignment or capturing air or dust

I have ordered mine from ebay screen+digitizer together, i tryed first to detach the digitizer but i broke the lcd its almost imposible to do so...believe me im quite skillfull with electronics.

Replaced two broken touches + lcds in my service. No problems, but this is my work

I replaced the screened on my atrix with a so called genuine one from eBay but it scratched right up in a few days so I'm guessing it wasn't quite as genuine gorilla glass as the original.

Any one know of a parts company for M7?

Hi everyone,
Has anyone found a good parts company yet for the HTC one? Especially if it's in the UK.
I've cracked the glass circle lens for the camera. I have to say I did absolutely nothing yet it's cracked from the centre spidering outwards.
I have seen whole backs for sale in USD. But it seems silly for a centimetre bit of glass that I can just pick out, and push in a replacement.
Any help is appreciated. Google and eBay have been of no help at the moment.
Thanks

I'm thinking it would be near impossible to replace it yourself. Apparently the One is incredibly hard to tinker with as far as taking it apart.

I'd have to agree. I have once again blown a speaker in mine...this makes 3 our of 5 HTC phones I've owned through the years that have had busted speakers. =\
Anyway, in my Hero and OG Evo the speaker was easy to replace, I didn't even bother replacing it in my 4g LTE.
This phone, however, is apparently one of the hardest as far as repair work goes. Ifixit rated it 1 out of 10 in the department.

HTC One Housing

My dog chewed my front htc one housing n e clue what to do - Also friends I have a HTC One Dev Group on whats app - Anyone wants to join just pm me ur number - Cheers !!

There are spare housing elements on ebay and etradesupply. A full housing set is around 40 USD. You will need some skills to replace it yourself though.
// sent from my phone //

Pics? Just wanna see the damage, I HAVE two dogs and I'm terrified when their around my phone.
P.s. yup, get it from etradesupply. Plus there is a thread around here somewhere about instructions on disassembly and reassembly.
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.

I'm going to tell you right now its probably better to leave it how it is as long as its functional. It takes a lot of time and effort for this repair here is a guide for it I wish you the best of luck.( http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+Teardown/13494/1)

Dunno how true ifixit really is to be honest. Someone here repaired their HTC One just fine (search for the post) and I was able to open up my Surface Pro pretty easily as well even though ifixit gave it the lowest possible rating.

Even if they did you can't say its anywhere near as easy as the galaxy s4 or s3. The phone is not meant to be pulled apart that's one of the reason for the uniebody design. I will say most of there guides that I have followed has never told me wrong and are extremely informative. The whole point of me posting it is just to show op what he's in for.

Actually HTC has their own tool for opening the One which makes it easier. I recommend giving it to an HTC repair center and pay the price :/
