Well, today was a say day for me, for I dropped my HOX on some concrete and shattered the glass, phone still works and lcd isn't damaged... but I was wondering if theres anyone here who knows a decent repair centers in the UK, i've seen this http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/2511...ixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla&crdt=0 and i'm pretty sure thats all I need... I could even try myself
Perhsps HTC can sell us an original part, we could also ask for s one x+ battery. I don't know how much the one x digitisee and glass replacement would cost. The whole svren inc LCD is 160 IIRC so probably less than 100?
I also.have a damaged screen. My concern is whether the. Parts are really originals as claimed, be cause I'd like a real gorilla glass panel. Also, how do I reconnect the connectors I have to unplug to get the screen . Presumably it's obvious otherwise it would have been mentioned in repair guides.
HTC may repair and sell originals, how much for I don't know.
My LCD appears fine usually, but sometimes there is a yellow tint to some of the screen, presumably related to epoxy glue. Also I was pressing down on the Screen and now one of the cracks appear slightly blue Around the edges, not sure if this will change if I replace.
Finally I saw a story on xdA I think of a guy who Bricked his while trying to replace the screen.

From what I have seen in One X screen replacement videos and read in this and other forums the digitizer is not easily separable from the LCD. So most probably you'll have to replace the whole display assembly (i.e digitizer + LCD screen).
Nope
None of the replacement parts in this thread so far are close to genuine, and will be cheap crap.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320929331645?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
This is what a genuine replacement looks like, and costs. If it's under £100, forget it; it's crap. If it comes as separate parts, it's crap. The One X screen is bonded at the factory across the entire area of the screen - you will never get a good screen if you assemble it yourself, or even if a repair centre does it. You'll get an air gap between the LCD and digitizer, and therefore it will look awful in daylight.

Call up HTC. I've done some research, seems to agree with what is posted above.
I feel your pain.. I have a small crack on the side of my S3 screen. How bad is it? If its smalland on the side check out an overlay Luke by Spectre. They are about 4mm thick and are cut to cover the whole face of the screen

Hi everybody I have a question regarding a screen problem I have.
Like I mentioned in an earlier post I accidentally spilt a lot of pure alcohol(the kind you use to disinfect a wound or something) on my HOX.
After a while the phone screen showed some strange grey shape on the lower right part of the screen and a bright white long shape looking like water jumping from a fountain on the left side starting from the bottom of the screen extending to almost the middle of the screen.After turning it off for 8-10 hours they grey shape dissapeared and the white remains and it doesnt look like it will ever go.
Strangely enough the HOX has no problem everything is working but I noticed that some apps are working somehow over the white shape covering it and some others like facebook seem to be under it making it visible.
I made some screen shots to show you the problem but stangely enough this white shape is not shown at all in the screen shots!!!!
Can anyone tell me where this thing might be?
LCD? Digitizer? elsewhere?
HTC funny enough suggested a factory reset to solve this and if that doesnt work(like there is a chance that it will...) to just send it to service.
I plan to play dumb to service hopping to fix this under my warranty as the phone has absolutely no scratch or anything anywhere as I never even dropped it once.
Do you think they can somehow find out what happened of maybe they will fix it under warranty?
Thanks a lot for your time reading this and I d love to have your opinions
Any photo?
Perhaps some alcohol got stuck between the lcd and glass...

Looks like overheating damage by a component beneath the screen, possibly something reacting to/affected by the alcohol.

When you say beneath the screen do you mean beneath the LCD as well or just beneath the glass?
I am just thinking that if its beneath the LCD it would probably not show plus the phone would have some kind of functional problem(it works just fine) wouldnt it?
Beneath the screen assembly. It looks like (possibly) some component or board has caused damage to or affected the digitizer, as your actual display seems ok.

So the service corrective action will be a screen assembly replacement or you think that something more will be needed?
Also if the digitizer was damaged wouldnt the phone use be affected?Cause the device has not been affected in anyway.
Everything works like it used to before this damage.
Send it of for repair, youll have to pay of course, how much tdo you like your phone?, that's the question.

I like my HOX very much otherwise why would I pay 428 euro to buy it?
Of course what makes the HOX stand out of the samrtphone crowd is the amazing display so of course I want it fixed.
I will try to cheat saying I know nothing about it(the phone doesnt even has a scratch) hoping waranty to cover this but if this doesnt work I ll have to pay 196 euro for screen replacement.
Although appart from that mark nothing else is affected I am worried that perhaps a screen replacement might not be enough if the digitizer is affected by something beneath it.
Do you think that a screen replacement will be enough to solve this problem?
HTC will give you the digitizer and LCD, especially if you end up paying, which will then get you a new bezel and unibody all still tapped up in protective coat, I've had it done for my phone, 160gbp.I even think you get the Onex+ version screen, gorilla glass 2.Could be wrong

This morning I heard a loud pop coming from my phone that was lying on my bedside table, and when I flipped it around it the screen was all cracked. XDA doesn't allow me to link to the picture, but remove just remove the space: i.imgur.c om/DUCdbofh.jpg
Maybe someone else could re-post the image in another post? There was also some "fizzling" sounds for a few minutes afterwards as the glass cracked a bit more. It looks like there was some kind of tension in it that finally made it give away, since I haven't dropped it. It was also in the shadow when it happened, so it shouldn't be from a temperature increase from the sun. Has anyone else experienced this, and how should I contact LG about this?
Mine cracked due to a drop. Haven't found a single repair shop who can repair / replace. Only Futuretel Service centre in Ontario has parts to repair, must contact your local retailer (Bell. Telus, Rogers) to get the service.
I tried ebay, ali baba, and amazon, but no luck with finding the right part (e971 back housing).
Seeing that yours spontaneously cracked, you should be able to argue it for warranty coverage.

The second day I had this phone my screen cracked, but it was only one crack line on the center of the screen going horizontal, sprint actually replaced the phone with one out of the box, not a refurb. I'm hoping the Otterbox case prevents any damage.

I have taken perfect care of my phone since i got it a week ago and today it did the exact same thing, "fizziling and all", except it was the front side.
To all of you wisecracks dismissing spontaneous cracks...
It looks like glass can crack without impact:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_glass_breakage
And it looks like there's probably a manufacturing defect by LG that Google and LG are quietly trying to sweep under the rug.

Impressive. It could also be caused by thermal expansion of the battery with the heat. Whatever it is, it would be interesting to know if there are other similar cases.

There are indeed many such cases. In most cases, people haven't been able to claim warranty. Another common thing I noticed in such cases, is that, they have happened in countries like Canada, Denmark, Sweden. It could be a case of the glass not withstanding the sudden temperature changes when it moves indoor and outdoor.
This is the only thing that is stopping me from buying this one or the Nexus 4. Absolutely love it otherwise.
Has anyone else noticed the infamous purple noise problem on their Verizon Ones in low light? There's a giant thread about it here in the international variant's section. It gets especially bad when you take a picture in total darkness or cover the lens entirely. If your phone has one of the defective sensors, the whole screen will turn bright purple.
Also curious to see if there's a certain batch of camera sensors behind this. If you have this problem, could you browse to /sys/android_camera/sensor and post the text inside? Mine says "st vd6869(1.0) cinesensor 2013-05-03".
Before anyone suggests that this is a software problem, there are a quite a few units that don't exhibit this issue and show perfectly black images in the dark, so I'm more inclined to believe this is a hardware defect.

Wow, that sucks.
I'm considering the same thing, though I'm not facing such an issue. I want to know if this camera problem is widespread to see if it's worth exchanging; it would be awful to go through the whole exchange process and wind up with the exact same problem on the replacement. And it would especially suck to lose your bootloader unlock for nothing...

My dad also has the HTC One from Verizon (got it a week later). His camera exhibited no such issues. I am going to try messing with his again tomorrow.
Its definitely a widespread issue though as you can see on that XDA post. I've also been following that since I got the phone. There is someone who thinks it might be a software issue and can be fixed by flashing libs. He is working on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45158495
I am just afraid of returning it and getting another headache such as dead pixel(s), chassis gaps/scratches, or anything else like that. I am trying to determine if I could live with it. I don't take many low light shots, but it will suck when I do.
When did you get your phone? It sucks that I have to decide by tomorrow!
EDIT: My camera pretty much does the same thing as shown in this pic (For others who may not be aware what we are talking about)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45298491&postcount=966
I got the phone about a week after release. Not sure that means much though, they seem to be randomly using old leftover parts to build the phones (according to the serial number, mine was built in July).
Can you post a picture of the purple stuff? I've seen other threads on this - in one case it did look like classic low-light issues that plagued certain Dincs, but another guy's pictures seriously did not look like digital noise to me - looked like an oily smear, maybe a manufacturing defect.
st vd6869(1.0) cinesensor 2013-06-20
Mine doesn't have the issue and it was purchased in the release day.
I had this same problem. I went in to verizon and showed the guy and we went through 3 replacements before he swore it was a software issue. Then I showed him that covering up the camera lens on their display model showed a plain black screen, while the replacements were showing that purple/pink tint. Here's an album with a couple of pictures of what it looks like.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m93o47ugxapos4v/hB6YN6kw-n/HTC One
My camera does the same.
I took it to the VZW store today but didn't have my ID nor did I bring the box with me.
Planning on going back tomorrow.
They told me they'd replace the phone for me so we'll see what the new one does.
Will report back!
BTW, nice car Frankie1588 if that's yours
Mazda RX-8?
For reference - here's a pair of low light shots, one with night mode on and one without. Definitely worth replacing because this phone sees better in the dark than I do, and that's pretty cool - this scene is nowhere near as bright as the pictures make it look, and night mode gets rid of speckling artifacts entirely.
So just going into the Verizon store, you guys were successful in getting replacements? How hard was it to sell that the phone had an issue?
guess I'll test the camera as soon as fedex drops off the phone tomorrow. I'll just call if its bad and make them overnight me a new one.
so if you take a shot in low light without the flash on, and it comes out fine, your camera is ok?
sorry just trying to see if mine if effed.
I help the lens cover and got purple, but when i shot in dark (under my bed) with and without flash, they came out normal?

I just went into the store today and they took my word for it when I described the problem.
Said they have been having a lot of people come in for the same reason.
Since I used another line's upgrade they said I couldn't swap out in the store.
But because of the device still being under warranty, they're shipping me a new one
And I just have to ship my current one back. I seriously hope this new one doesn't have
the same problem.

I got mine with the Edge program (don't judge me), and they were very easy to deal with in store. I just told them that it's an awesome phone, and the camera wasn't working. I showed them that it wasn't working by just covering the lens with my wallet. It showed that pink/purple tint on the screen. We went through three phones before we found one that didn't have that when covering the lens. I would definitely take yours back because the lens, when not taking in any light, should be completely black.

I got mine via edge to, 5 months after getting the note 2 on my upgrade. I'll either pay it off or trade it in at half paid off.
I think some of y'all might be mistaken on the camera.
You need to take a picture in pitch black room, not just cover the camera with your finger. Mine was able to draw light in through my finger, but when I went into the bathroom with the lights off, I got a solid black picture.
Just like a flashlight shines red through your finger, so to some extent can natural light.

I completely agree about not covering it with your finger, light still gets in. You can definitely find an object to cover up the lens, though. The display model at the Verizon store was black when covered with my wallet, but my phone was showing that tint when covered.

Hi i just bought a Oneplus 3 but the glass is cracked and have read that you cant just replace the glass itself because its too difficult and would have to replace the whole display.
Has any one done this and found the replacement display to be worse than the original?
Also there are tutorials on Samsungs S7 edge which show how to replace just the glass, would this method work on Oneplus 3? VIDEO LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAdF_hNh358
If you are not experienced with these things, DO NOT attempt replacing such an expensive part yourself as you may damage your whole device. If you like to live dangerously and don't give a fuk to money or damaged phone, this could be a great DIY product.
it's pretty hard, but really isn't impossible if you're experienced. working on my own repair shop, replaced few just the glass, but few also cracked during frame removal (as of hard as stone glue)

Idk about you, but this phone is extremely easy to repair. I've taken this thing apart and its fairly simple. Now when it comes to only glass repairs, that's another story. Without dry ice its near impossible and with dry ice its still somewhat dangerous as the AMOLED panel is fragile as all hell. If you're going to do a glass only repair, do not do like that video shows, it is extremely hard to do with heat, freezing the display completely with dry ice is the way to go.
To answer the OP's question, no one knows. Oneplus does not sell replacement parts so the screens are NOT OEM, but they're probably of similar quality. Why not try it out and see?
haha thanks guys i thought it would be easy just to pull the glass off, i have seen a video on dry ice glass removal but if you guys are saying its near impossible ill just have to buy the replacement LCD off ebay

Well with dry ice its not too hard, you just have to be extremely patient and always keep the glass and adhesive at extreme temperatures. If you're the type of person that's really good at taking things apart and are very delicate with your hands, do the dry ice method. If not buy the LCD (I really hope these aftermarket screens are not actual LCDs) because you will probably break the screen
Have u done the dry ice method?
also i think it has the original screen with cracked glass but i think the Chinese replacement is lower quality but i dont know how bad it is and i am pretty sure their not amoled displays.
There are some web stores such as parts4repair that claim to sell OLED replacement screens for the OP3, though at a much higher price than the Ebay ones of course.

Some phones are quite hard and don't fit together well after taking them apart (galaxy S6 was just stupid) and then there's the OP3, take 2 screws out and pop the entire chassis out of the aluminum back, you can get to the screen pretty easily after and nothing is glued in place with indestructible glue
can one one confirm that parts4repair have amoled displays?
also if i were to do the dry ice method would i need to use uv loca glue before using new glass

There might be, you can't be certain though. If you bought a complete replacement unit for less then $100 USD, it's likely just a cheap LCD panel. There is allegedly a small difference in the cable length for the screen component between the A3000 and A3003 models of the phone. The connector, and physical dimensions of the screens should be identical though.

No none of them are original... You most likely will get a really cheap non oled display. Don't be surprised if the screen cracks in your pocket.. I already have replaced it once on my old phone and I got a fake one and it littery cracked in my pocket.. Thats why I suggest you guys trying to send it to Oneplus first.
I just had my op3 repaired for a cracked screen and aluminum back panel was well. It wouldn't display any picture. Also my volume key was damagedd from the drop so they had to replace the entire back aluminum panel. I could swear the phone is brand new they did a fabulous job. The authorized repair center is in Texas it's Acer repair facility that also did one plus devices for warranty and out of warranty repairs. It's was extremely cheap compared to buying parts yourself. The cheapest I could find for the screen on eBay was asking$115-$120 and who knows the quality. This is original parts at this place. $130 for everything including shipping. The screen would have only been $95 but the extra aluminum back cost me the extra. They also sent a clear thin case with it too free of charge and I actually love the case. It's well worth just sending to one plus and having it fixed right with original parts. Also keep in mind they have a warranty on their repairs. I am extremely happy with the job they did.

I got in touch with Oneplus and told them the phone is second hand and they asked for the IMEI number. They told me that it would cost 87 euros £76 for me and this includes repair of phone and parts including VAT. But they did say that if there were further problems they would fix them but this would be added to the bill.
+1 for sending it into Oneplus, i am sending mine to a authorized repair centre CTDI in poland, so i know that the parts are gonna be original and not a cheap LCD display.

Good deal yeah its worth the wait to have it done right. Although it is tough to get by without it for a few weeks.?
I'm also sending mine. I got in touch with oneplus and they said the aproximate cost is 91€. Cheaper than getting a fake lcd from amazon. Cheers
