Ouch, that sucks man! Honestly, it's probably not worth the cost of repair if that's as bad as it is. My Infuse is my daily phone and it's screen is shattered far worse than that. One crack, even going across the screen isn't too bad when replacement could be very pricey, and you may just crack it again.
I saw another thread on this and it sounds like the LCD is glued to the glass, which makes it very difficult to separate without breaking the LCD as well. Your best bet may be to send it in for replacement. Doesn't look like there's a whole lot of info on fixing the screens on these yet.
This is exactly why I just signed up with insurance today on mine. I always end up with cracked screens some how, and I'm usually very careful. Even with the insurance though, there's a $75 deductible, and I don't know if it'd be worth it still for just one crack.

UK repair is £145.
no other places in the UK other than HTC did it a couple of weeks back because they couldn't source the parts. told them i coule provide them with it but they weren't willing to do it
mine cracked after two weeks, worked perfectly, but there were hundred of cracks across the screen. no way was i willing to live with it for 2 years

Thanks for the reply, the irony was I was holding it in the case not realising it was upside down then BOOM dropped onto Brick paved driveway
Fully expect to have to pay for screen replacement surely HTC must offer some service / support?

the phone is assembled in such a way that the entire assembly occurs on the screen, so you have to strip the phone back to literally every single component
i didn't feel like invalidating my warranty but if you want follow this video

7 working days from receipt. i got mine back after two weeks, including a bank holiday. it was also just after the phone came out so maybe there was a delay getting the parts then?
they send out fedex to collect the phone, could even come the day after you call

How ironic, Gorrila Glass survives but LCD dies -.-

phone is still functioning, just turned it off to photograph as you can see the crack clearer!
you can't even feel a split if you run your fingers over it, so i am lucky in one respect its not shattered!
heres another pic with the screen lit up!
appreciate all the replies, thanks.

Expansys selling a FULL white Gnex? Fake?

Exactly as said above, the entire Galaxy Nexus seems to be white, the digitialzer (which was always black before) is white also. Looks like a choppy image however, anyone bought it/planning on getting it and able to post pics?

The Expansys solds phone worldwide,and even Japanese buy some "imported" phones at their country.
Well,I suggest contact for more information,if U still not trust them,U should not buy.
That's all.

Expansys is a very well known website looks legit to me. You can always call to make sure its not an error/inaccurate picture.

Don't think this phone exists... I feel like they just accidentally took one of the photos that was made when the first rumors of the white model came out.

It may or may not exist. They could have colored it themselves, and are selling it off as completely white, or it's like martonikaj said.

Do not check "yes this is a question" unless you are posting in Q&A.
I took the [Q] out of the title since this is a more general topic
Thanks

We definitely did not color it ourselves However, we are discontinuing them. Have a few more than backordered on the way in, but then we wont be offering them anymore.

Hi Corey, thanks for responding.
Just curious, where did you get fully white GNs? I thought they were never manufactured? Is this the work of a third party custom job?

it says the item is discontinued to me

If you check YouTube, you'll see several reviews of full-white Gnex's. It's legit, apparently.

I'm not saying that they're scammers or anything, I'm asking if people have actually seen this, or that its a fake picture, and will come white like other Galaxy Nexii. U should use "you", that is all.

We get them from a few different suppliers actually. I've never opened one myself. It will be back live on the site shortly, for the few remaining ones. We bought a large amount on a closeout, and then got enough to cover our orders + a few extra. Seems someone discontinued it a bit to early so we fixed it. Will come back online soon.

I wonder who made them. They must be custom built... right?

White case, black face
I'm looking right this second at the white GN I bought from Expansys. The body of the phone is white (and gorgeous, might I add), while the front face is black. The photo on Expansys showed an entirely white phone, but I just assumed it was an incorrect photo. (And I was right.)
And, for what it's worth, it came with a UK (I believe? Definitely not standard USA) charger, and an adapter to fit it into a standard USA outlet.
Since it looks like one of the Expansys fellas is in this thread, thanks a lot. Really enjoying my purchase :]

Oh alright, thanks man! I was just confused and kinda hopeful at the same time.

I'm glad my purchase served a greater purpose than simply satisfying my annual gadget refresh compulsion :]
The photo on their page really is sort of confusing. But, given how many black-and-white shots and reviews I saw, I sort of went with Occum's Razor.
Really minor point, but definitely one that confused me for a bit too.

FWIW...I just ordered one the other day and it is white body with black face. I was hoping for something unique. But oh well. Still a pretty phone.

Awwww I was pretty excited as well.
Oh well, just buy a white skin and it'll look the same.

DEAD One X, in search for a good parts seller...

Hi all,
I have a One X (thanks god mine is fine ) and my cousin had another. His One X is now DEAD, it worked fine for about 15 days, but after a fall from a height of about 1,2m (4 feet) it simply turned off a refused to turn on again.
It doesn't turn on the led while trying to charge, it doesn't respond to any command.}
I have oppened his One X (I have a lot of experience fixing simple stuff inside phones) and didn't find anything out of the ordinary in it. Nothing abnormal.
We have already sent it to a repair store here in Brazil (and now you know part of my problem) and the store told us there was a problem in the main board and that they can't fix it.
So I'm asking you guys, can you give me an address (online one) of a good and respected phone parts store? That way I could change his board and give life back to his phone.
I have changed some parts of his phone iwth mine, and the parts are working (screen is without a single scratch and works), antennas, power connector and etc...
So the problem should really be the main board (the one with the Tegra 3 in it).
Please treat it as a no warranty device, we already gave up sending the device to england to fix it. UK UNLOCKED GREY DEVICE!
Thanks in advance.

I already buy a battery on this site and no problem.

Thanks, I've seen they do have the main board, but it is unavaiable and saing to ask them about it. I will do it, since I want to help my cousin with his phone, and do think they probably don't have it in stock because it is probably an item that doesn't have the same number of requests as smaller or more breakable (screen for example) items.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep you posted about the results.
Greetings, Santroph.

I hope for you and your cousin that you find a solution to this problem.

I don't think the main can be available anywhere..as it costs as much as a new phone..
It's impossible to get unless some1 has a scrap phone..

Well I'm not really tring to sell it, or even buy a used Main Board (although that could work also). The main reason is to try to fiz the phone, and not sell as a broken one. What TG64 sent me was a nice store that do have the Main Board. I just don't know yet how much it would cost, and if it would be a prohibitive price or not.
When I get to know I'll surely post it here.
Main boards shouldn't cost as much as a phone. Even if they are a big part of the cost, the screen is also another big part of the cost of a complete phone. In my opinion the price for each should be more like 35% of a new phone for the main and 30% for the screen.
If it is like that, it surely is better than buying a whole new phone.
Cheers,
Santroph.

[Q] Should i trade my Nokia N9 for a one x with a messed up LCD?

I sold my htc amaze a few months ago to buy the n9 and im getting tired of not having any app selections (it was cool at first), and the one x looks pretty sick. found someone on craigslist that is willing to trade but he dropped the phone and the screen doesn't turn on. he has a new digitizer for it but not an LCD. They aren't too expensive on ebay (found one for like $40). he said the phone turns on and everything works (capacitive buttons, sound, etc). The thing im worried about is if it has water damage, is there any way to find out? and if not do you guys think its worth it?
thanks
edit: nevermind did more searching on the water damage indicator and found it. still would like to know your opinions/advice though

A screen repair requires the digitiser and LCD. Just do a search for broken screen threads here.

thanks for your reply. yeah ive watched a few videos on it but since they are selling the LCDs on ebay separated from the digitizer I figured you could replace it itself..
edit: im reading on other threads that they are two separate units? some people are saying they are on unit and others are saying the opposite. starting to wonder if its worth it..

Official ones come as one unit and cost more. It'll cost about 150 UK pounds for official repair. Factor that into your cost, and the fact that it's second hand, and the fact you can't test it properly... Is it worth it? I doubt it, but a working One X is an incredible device.

thank you, ill take your advice. it seems not many people are interested in the n9 as much as I thought they would.

It always feels good to have a new device which is fresh and you are much sure that it doesn't have a defect or something, if you're are looking for some advice, well for me, i will personally tell you that go and just buy a new one ( Fresh like Dougie )

[Q] New display but after 3 hours broke again

Hi to all, today besides it looks like Friday 13th. (my car broke down) I took after I dropped my HTC One X my phone from the service with a new display.
After 2 hours I have been called and saw that the display again is broken from the left side, near the usb towards the top, (power button) is a line and cracked.
I really don't know and paid much money today and to pay again?
Could this happen or should I blame myself?
I always take good care of the phone and always carry it in my side pocket which is wide enough...
Can anyone advice me what to do?

If you are 100% positive that the screen was intact when you got it out from the service, you should take it back and council with the person who serviced the phone. It there are no signs of physical abuse or anything, you should have some kind of warranty on the display or at least on the changing service.

thank u for the reply..the service will not give me a new one..but is the display so sensitive? i mean could it break by wrong installation?

Are you sure it was completely perfect at the service center? Did you inspect your phone whatever the screen was replaced correctly or there were any cracks from the beginning?
There's not much you can do over here... You can tell them what happened and ask for replacement but I'm not sure they will replace it for free...

Thank you!! Great and I ordered a new display there and the price is much cheaper than the price offered here in Skopje, Macedonia.
But still 1 question how to recognize a clone from an original screen?
What I noticed is that the screen replaced on my phone is slight smaller as at the bottom part I can see the led light trough the house shining.
Also the left < is not shining while the home and > button is lighting.
The time before (when it has been replaced also) I had the same problem. At daytime its hard to notice but at night its very clear that only 2 buttons are lighting up.

Hahahahaha epic fail.......cough goo cough gle is cough your best friend.

here you can see my broken screen and the navigation button which is not lighting up
That has been the same case with the other replacement.
Also the crack is at the same position as the last one
I paid 100 euro for this one.

Ok here my last try as in the 3 days I did not get any answer, it might be that this issue is unknown?
Anyway one more try..
My HTC One X broke now a couple of times and the last time it broke at the same space as before, again I did not drop it
At the bottom I can clearly see a small open space and the 3 navigation led light shining although the navigation arrow on the left (see attached picture) is not lighting up and at night it can't be seen.
The main reason for this topic to get more informed and to put a claim at the mobile phone service and to get my money back.
Also looking at Ebay for a screen replacement it looks like a jungle as all are claiming to sale original displays but again prices are from 45 - 150 euro's. Is there some way to recognize a none (clone) original screen from a original?
Again sorry for this chain of mine on this topic but i just wonder why twice my display cracked at the same place.

It's just a coincidence that the screen broke at exactly the same point...
By looking at what you've said... I think the screen might not have fitted correctly... Hence causing the led not to shine as brightly as it should... May be there is some gap left...
About the screen originality... It's really hard to determine... If you could send us the link of the part which you are buying.. Then someone might be able to judge it's authenticity..

I also think it was not placed on the correct way and than the issue of the left navigation without lighting up as it should.
And the cap.
I wrote to rounded.com but no reply from them.
Maybe if someone could take a look at Ebay in Europe and to advise me which one to buy?
Should I buy the whole thing again complete or just the glass?
Also can be in a PM here.
Again thanks for the help :good: :good: :good:

Thanks, any place you can advise?

Listen, stop complaining that people aren't answering your questions. As Mr.Hoff has repeatedly tried to tell you, people have NO OBLIGATION to answer you, nor does it mean that because they're on XDA They know the answer to your questions. XDA is a priviledge, without XDA you probably wouldn't have a place to even ask your question.
NOW TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
The difference between HTC Screen and a Generic Replacement screen is alot.
HTC Screen = LCD2 which is basically HD screen
Generic = LCD Screen with a much lesser resolution.
Also the part numbers are different, the only REAL way to tell whether you have the LCD2 screen or not.
However I cannot tell you the exact part number for a OEM HTC LCD2 Display.
Now stop ranting.
