Hi all, apologies if this has been covered, I did a search but didn't find anything.
I have an HTC one with a cracked digitizer and I am planning on trying to fix it myself (I like a challenge!)
However, I am struggling with which parts to buy. I live in UK and all of the sellers on eBay seem to be on Hong Kong or China and the parts do not seem to be OEM. I am concerned about the quality of non-OEM parts.
Does anyone know of some genuine sellers in the UK/Europe? If you know of somewhere better in the US then I'm happy to pay postage as long as it's genuine.
Also, there are a lot of listings for digitizer only - I cannot find any recorded method of removing the digitizer from the LCD so I assume I should stay clear of them?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Find a HTC Carepoint. They have them but i don't know if they sel them. A repair ad mine shop wil cost you €240,-
@stumark man that's gonna be a tough thing to find. In order to get original parts your either going to have to get it to a HTC repair shop or buy an m7 for parts and rip of the front housing. I just bought the full housing so I can change mine from silver to black but I have not seen any official screens. I can give you the links to some I found in the US if you want tho.

I'm interested in doing the same- changing from silver to black. I'm curious how did it go, did you manage to swap the casing/display without damaging it? I saw some vids on YouTube about it.. looks pretty messy..
I bought my housing from this guy http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Si...er_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item51b4c6527e
U think it only can be original if it comes from us or uk? where do you think this is made?

Hi,
I have a htc m7 with a cracked digitizer and I want to repair it.
I know that the best is to change the digitizer and the screen together(like this one for example), but I saw this video and others to replace the digitizer only and it seems easy.
Did anyone already tried to replace the glass?
I thought it was needed to unglue the screen from the glass and glue it again, but I didn't found much information about this.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Yes, i did it my self and if you going to replace the lcd you shouldn't be worry much :victory:
my recommendation it to remove the SIM stick first then, start to insert the tool between the upper lip of the SIM port and the Black lcd frame :good:
then start to pop out the lcd from the the back cover BY moving the tool around the phone.
the bottom speaker grill can be removed easily, but the upper one has a screw from inside from the left side only.
you will find some youtube video, but my recomendation to start from the upper lip of the SIM port

I wanted to order one but, I am afraid I won't be able to change it properly and screw up my phone! Is there any video/picture guide on how to change the housing on the arc?
I tried to replace the blue housing to silver before. There's pda file about how to change it properly. In my experience, the hardest part is how to remove the lcd from the housing(need a special tool for it), the rest is actually pretty easy.
Oh here's the instruction and pdf
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086178
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123609
So you managed to replace it?
I need to change the front buttons, how hard/dangerous would that be be?
i already did it once before, so it shouldn't be too hard for me. For the LCD part, because the entire lcd is glued with the housing, it takes a bit skills to remove it.
For the front buttons: you need to separate cover rear and the front housing, then remove the sub pba. After that you can replace the front button. As long as you follow the instruction from the pdf, then it shouldn't be too hard(in my experience).
I'm very interested in it, please can you upload some pics when you'll receive it?
wow, original?
well ya, that's what the seller said. It will takes times to ship, i will post some pics when it arrives.

I'm waiting! I have never heard about this housing
Wow, thats what Im looking for cause my camera has a scratch.... Cool
*edit*
In the working instructions it says, that two peaces cant be reused (ant gps flex & audio jack). Thats true? no way to remove it undamaged??
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
oh, that 2 peaces i can actually reuse it after for some reason without any problem.
(Maybe it said the mid housing can't be reuse because it use tape to stick both peaces on the housing, so once it removed from the (old) housing, the tape on the old housing can't be reuse because it is not sticky anymore.
Still waiting for the housing, hopefully it will arrive soon....( i hate canada custom, always take forever....)
I bought it from a German store so it will hopefully arrive today or tomorrow. I take some pics of the"not reuseable" parts.
Wohoo, I will not have a scratch at my camera.

Looking for a Digitizer for my note! I just broke it LCD looks fine and touch screens works perfect. Just need the front glass. But I don't have paypal so I can't buy on ebay!
You can't replace the front glass only. You need to purchase a complete display assembly including the glass, digitizer, AMOLED display, Wacom digitizer, home button and the frame. It costs around 250 dollars.

Save yourself a headache a byt complete assembly. Trust me from a guy wasted alot of money on digitizers.

I'm a mobile device service tech too (I actually own the business) and you are correct. You have to replace the entire assembly. It is not possible to separate the screen and digitizer without damage... those people on eBay know full well that you can't and shouldn't be selling them.

You can if you have the right tools. I broke my digitizer awhile back and bought the digitizer only. Theres actually a thread around here. Only thing I didnt have was some good double sided tape that would have made everything alot easier.
The biggist issue on ebay with digitizer only are they dont come with preinstalled tape already attached. But a heat (blow dryer) and some good plastic(always only plastic) tools its not that difficult.
I had to purchase just the digitizer because when I cracked the screen, the full assembly wasnt available yet. Its not hard, just takes a little patience.
I eventually converted my note into a white version. Picture below is my old lcd with installed digitizer. I would still suggest to buy complete assembly. I have a guy on ebay that sells them pretty cheap and ships fast.
And daddymatt your missing out on some business.

I have a completely intact Galaxy Note. The only thing that doesn't work is the motherboard. So, you can put your motherboard in this phone, and you would be good to go! I think there are a few videos on youtube about it taking it out and such. It looks really simple to do. I'll sell it to you for $250, if you're interested PM me!
Take a look at http://www.cnn.cn I've bought parts from them before and are reliable.
I bought a grey One X, but decided that I should have bought the white, and so I purchased the rear casing and sim card tray from ebay.
All installed perfectly and my phone is working without issues, however the thing that did hit me as strage was after rebooting device with the white casing on, the handset reported a software update for the device (not an app update) of which I said ok.
Can't see any difference in what it reports in About this phone in regards to Software, and so was wondering is it possible that by changing the rear housing it also changes the CID of the device ?
Using CID reports HTC__001 ??
I know this is probably a newb question, however this phone is my first serious Android device other than my old Nook Color.... So if i'm making gaf's please excuse them.
Thank you.
Cool to know that you can change the outlook like that. Might want to buy one back just in case i want to try grey or white gets dents. Thanks!

Here you go folks.
Basically genuine HTC housing replacement, very simple to do. You have to order the sim card seperatly so make sure you order one at same time.
The phone pops out of the housing with a little bit of prying and put a little bit of sticky tape on the volume rocker and power button so that they dont drop on the floor when you remove your phone from the housing as otherwise you could end up missing a little part.
The trickiest part is popping out the speaker from the old housing and dropping it into the new. I used a pin to pop it out of the hole it sits in and then just dropped it into the new housing.
Squeeze your phone in and it will click into place. remove the tape on the outside holding the volume rocker and power button and hey presto new phone
And if I can do it, anyone can
Cool, thank you!
Is there any tutorial for the replacing?
How much did you payed for the case and the sim tray?
Link to where can I buy one for my one x?

Also note the back cover has self adhesive areas that need exposing before installing, and the inside of the camera lens has a blue plastic protection film that needs removing. Because it is clear plastic covering the self adhesive areas it can be missed and your back cover will not be fitted as well as the original.
Self adhesive areas are:
1) The whole area that essentially covers the battery has a plastic film cover that needs removing to exposed the adhesive.
2) The USB hole has a raised support that has a small plastic strip that needs removing to exposed the adhesive
3) At the bottom left and right sides of the back cover inside edge are small sticky areas, again the plastic film needs removing.
In terms of software updates because the back is changed, it was just a co-incidence, the back cover has no intelligence in it to alter serial numbers etc.

It's easy to see where the self adhesive areas are simply because of the bright blue sticky plastic that was on my white case/housing inside.

Yes I would think the white is much more obvious. If you have a new grey back, the film doesn't stand out at all.

Where did you order your parts? On ebay I could only find parts for e720 (or something like that, the chinese one x)
If you are opening your device, I would highly recommend that you read the Official HTC WiFi antenna repair guide as you might want to add those strips in to strengthen the contacts.

Bought the phone on impulse second hand for a good price,. So saved €289.99 off the regular sim-free price on expansys.... When there was that much of a saving, I wasn't going to argue about the color
(checks Expansys pricing, actually it was €309.99 price difference between what I paid for the grey and the white sim-free model there)....
Just a bit of info for you regarding opening up your One X (housing removal). This is part of an email reply that I received from HTC warranty in the UK, when I asked about opening up my One X to check something.
We would not advise you to take the phone apart as this will invalidate your warranty.

Hi Guys,
From youtube videos (I know great source of info) it seems that removing back cover on HOX is quite easy.
So two questions come to mind first one no one makes entire back cover replacements in many colours?
Also anyone know where I could get the least original white back cover?
I want to sell my HOX and camera lens is scratched. Does not interfer with pictures due to location of it but still.
Cheers,
Luka
I found a lot of them when looking for a black and white one.

it's not that simple!!
at first you will void your warranty as soon as you detach the cover...then believe me that it's very difficult and you could damage the inner frame or other components, since there's a lot of glue that make you feel the phone very solid in your hands...
but believe me that it's a real pain to change the cover...the most difficult part of opening your phone...
however you should do it just if it's stricly necessary imho...
Nah it's really easy. Takes 10 mins to switch over. There is no glue really. For the most part it is clipped on.
I say go for it. I got my white original cover off ebay for £30.
my camera lens also got little scratched. Is there any chance to replace it only? anyone with the same problem?

My One X has a creaking corner, where the original back cover seems to give in a little. Any guesses if getting a replacement (because the camera lens also has a few scratches) would help? Maybe the fit would be better... or is the creaking problem something related to how the phone itself sits inside the cover, and getting a new back would be pointless?
Has someone experiences with cases from Hong Kong?
They are cheaper and include the SIM Tray...

After putting the whole thing back together, doesn't the phone start creaking, especially at the bottom part?
No
Opened mine 2 times and the bottom fits better than when it came out of the box.
Only opened it to clean the camera lens from inside and always used the same cover it came with.

Great! That's really nice to hear.
Changed mine from black to white... After changing, my phone is more solid then the out-of-the-box black... Wifi reception is better... Needa change it after my friend knocked my hand while crossing the road... Screen is intact and unscathed though...

Where did you find it?eBay?post a link and let us know after you install it if you recommend it,I like to have a back up screen laying around haven't seen any post on replacing one on note4 yet,surprisingly I havent had to replace a Samsung screen yet had s3,4,5,and now note4,I did replace the camera glass on S5 and the charging flap,got them from some site they came from Hong Kong or something but were OEM and cheap.

Nice that looks legit,please post back and let me know how long it took to receive it and what your thoughts are on it.
Will be ordering Thursday, there are four color options. I have the white, I'm going to do the black glass, with the white and chrome and black back I think.
That will look good,I have the white s3,black s4,white s5, I use all dark backgrounds if there's an option and dark wallpapers with the black note4, it just looks nicer to me, that's why I got black this time,but I'd put the white back on myn,I actually never saw the white one in person to be honest I'll have to take a look.
Good luck swapping just the glass, its fused to the digitizer.

Can you elaborate,are you saying its impossible to replace just the screen and he will need to replace the digitizer also with one that has the screen fused to it?

Thanks,were not here to be negative were here to learn and share,maybe he had a hands on experience, that's better then googling something most times, I already saw a tear down of the note4 but not the screen being taken off the digitizer but thanks again for being so helpful.

Don't you just heat it like the rest to separate it? I assume its no different then replacing note 2 or 3 glass...

That's the problem. I don't think you can. I'm paying $75 to get it fixed.
A blow dryer did the trick

Got pics?
How did it turn out and where did you get the parts?
I don't have pics, I sold it literally the moment it was fixed. But I can say, the kit was 11.95 with amazon prime shipping. It was for the 910. The glass was cheap, but usable and came with tools. This lit used double sided tape, not loca and the glass didn't have a logo. I two toned it. I thought it would look better but just looked like knock off. But hey my buddy slapped down $690 and said he wants it so no complaints
Basically the concept is heating the glass so the adhesive between the digitizer and glass can be loose or let's say workable. I did this on my Galaxy Note 1 but kinda screwed up a bit. Trying to separate the glass from the digitizer is a pain on the butt because with what ever you use to separate it you can also risk scratching the digitizer. Also do not overheat as it can mess your screen up bad. Let's say all the job is cleanly done and you separated the glass still with the adhesive on the digitizer, put the new glass on the screen and with the heat gun/hair dryer put some heat on the glass to get the adhesive back to stikn mode. This is a simple but yet risky fix. In my experience with a new phone I'd pay the amount to get the screen fixed though idiots here in Georgia will try to rip you off saying you need a new digitizer as well. Hope it gives you a bit of info though look for vids about this before attempting on your own note 4

They give you a clear wire between two rings to separate the screen. It was quite easy. Bunch of glue left over but rubbing alcohol and a light touch took care of that. The trick was to have someone else heating as you slowly work it. I think the fix would of looked a bit better with loca I feel.
