Hi all, yesterday was a sad day for me as I dropped my hero and have managed to crack the back cover! it's only very slight however i would like to replace it. any know where I can get one?
ill second that because mine makes all the time cracking sounds (cuz of a small tore), anyone here from germany?
Would also like a graphite one, don't like the orange logo :/
Has anyone found one yet?
It might not be worth buying the whole housing but keep an eye on this:-

Maybe they will sell the back cover only in the near future.

Can someone help me find a replacement Digitizer?
I bought my phone off of eBay a while back and it had scratches on the screen, now I want a new screen. I thought about getting one from eBay, but someone told me that those were cheaply made and came from China. And that if I tried replacing one myself It could maybe not work correctly or I could get some particles in between the screens.
Is there a place that I can get it repaired?
Also my phone won't charge anymore unless I put it in a certain position...
i got mine from ebay recently. well, i got it for T7373 international version tp2 instead.
what i would advise is, avoid from getting those cheap digitizer. they work sucks with finger. now i only able to use my tp2 with either stylus or fingernail which is seriously terrible.
and i changed it all myself. weirdly is, the digitizer need some glue to glue it to the tp2. a bad experience i had anyway.
sending my set back to my distributor for cleaning up mess soon.
I bought a replacement verizon digitizer last week

I have a cracked and scuffed touchscreen on my x10 and for $30 on ebay I was going to replace the screen. My concern is that I can get ones from China for half the price of the USA and some say 'Grade A no bubbles' but others do not, are these quality screens from China or will I be diasspointed?
Has anyone had a bad experience replacing their touch screen with the Chinese products? They say OEM but are they from Sony or are they knock offs and is there build quality concerns using the cheap ones?
in my opinoin when it comes to electronics , especially from china, you get what you pay for, id rather pay a little extra knowing that it will be ok
Agreed. With china there's a 99% chance that what you are buying is not OEM. Likely it's very cheaply made.
Yeah I hear ya... that is probably exactly what I would had replied to this post if someone else asked the same question.
I was really hoping someone would tell me that they bought a screen from XXXXX on ebay and it was better then the original but I guess I need to decide if I want cheap or quality.
I've already replaced the phone with an HTC EVO 3D but there is alot of life left in this X10 and it is a great platform for hacking and learning android. Plus they make awesome tiny tablets for around the house.
Thanks for the input.
I got white replacement from china which is quite good.. I won't say its authentic, but here in the UK most replacement dealers get there stuff from china anyway.
Buying from China is like cutting out the middle-man, the down side is just you need to wait.. And if you think they are not what you think your money's worth, you could always tell them you did not receive the item and get your refund.
try to buy from best sellers only...otherwise nothing is guaranteed.

Hello guys, I operate from China is not good, shipping times are very long, why not order from Germany or thereabouts? I ordered this screen protector from Germany and arrived in 3 days, I am very well, without delays or other touch ... Regards, Joseph

Maybe i'm the lucky one, bought one from globalshining on ebay for 20 Euro and thought: well if this aint gonna work, it;s 20 euro's thrown away. But here in my town (germany) they ask 80 Euro for it. After 8 days!!! I received the piece: fitted perfectly but it was at least one hour work to get the overly scratched old one of and the new one on. I did search google for disassembling instructions for the X10 and found one with lots of photo's. Without these instructions, you easily brick your phone.
Regarding GlobalShing: its on ebay, or eshoptradehk dot com I first checked the ebay ratings: then decided to do so..
But do get your own screwdrivers cause the one from China dont fit at all....
Cheers
hey could someone help me with a link?
i just cracked the front screen on my fone and i need to replace it. would like to replace the whole screen and case.
i googled a few, but i was not sure if they included the front screen cos its the front screen thats cracked.
then i also learnt that the touch module is glued to the front glass screen, will the new case screen also have one attached to it or would i have to remove this one and stick it to the new one?

Well I'm still looking for a good replacement. I've done plenty of reading and research but I'm not sure which way to go.
Has anyone done a digitizer swap? What was the end result? Were you happy or did it brick your phone?
Any opinions would be nice to hear.
Thanks.
put a super amoled display from the SGS in it
Hi, I cracked my digitiser VERY badly, so I was forced to replace the digitiser... The LED was slightly scratched because of the drop, but I don't mind, it's hardly noticable. I took the phone apart like 3 times:
1 - taking it apart
2 - power button i forgot to put back
3 - had a little of $h!t under the digitiser

I swapped my digitiser, and so did XDA Recognised Developer for the x10 pvyparts and none of our phones were bricked, it worked perfectly after... Took about 20min to do, I did it during school break because I was bored...
Goodluck!
Better you replace the phone, you don't know the quality that Chinese product
i have tried a couple of different touches an for me so far all of them has been a bit of a dissapointment, the touch works good but the fit is bad. Sensors, proximity particularly, gone bad. sry for really bad eng.
i got my digitizer from ebay china its was pretty good get it with the housing black or white much better then trying to sick the digitizer on the old housing paid around $30 au
i guess at the end of the day all these parts are made in china oem or not
I bought a broken Rezound with plans to fix it. The LCD didn't work, so I purchased a new one on eBay $35, when I got it apart I realized that the connector on the mainboard was broken and a new LCD isn't going to fix it. I would assume even the original LCD and digitizer are ok, but I can't guarantee that.
I've decided to sell the Rezound and screen for parts. The battery seems to be good, the LCD is BRAND NEW, phone is in good condition. I'll be keeping the Dre beets earbuds!
PM with offers or questions.
Thanks!

Any chance of a price for the digitizer itself? Bought mine with a hairline crack, 6 months ago, starting to wonder what a non cracked screen looks/feels like. Lemme know, thanks

Your best bet would be to take it apart and sell each piece individually because you can get more money for that

I have a Sprint EVO 4G that's in the same condition. I broke the LCD connector on the motherboard while trying to replace the screen. Not sure if the connector can be bought from Digikey or something...but I can't identify it.
So my wife dropped her Rezound and the screen cracked. We do have the insurance through Verizon and figured I'd check here before calling Verizon since I need to know how to play this and get a replacement. Will they replace my phone or will they only replace it if our phonse is lost or stolen? Does anyone know how much it costs to get a replacement.

With a cracked screen it will cost $99 to replace. If it was a defect with the phone it would of been free. Kinda sucks but its better then shelling out $200+ for a new phone cause of the insurance. This is from personal experience with my own rezound.
seems pretty lame since that's about what it would cost me without the insurance.

If the picture isn't distorted and your glass is simply cracked, just get a Rezound LCD Digitizer with tools from amazon or ebay and some 3M 2mm digitizer tape. It'll only cost you 30 bucks to repair your screen, and you can choose between getting a verizon branded or unbranded digitizer while you're at it.

ugh, i tried this..only do this if you know what you're doing...i sure as hell didn't, and there's NO repair how to video out there about how to re-assemble the screen..they all convieniently skip that part. i ddin't even know i had to buy new adhesive since nobody said anyhting about that...
in the end, i have a screen with smudges on the LCD from the adhesive i had to pick at, since it was clearly visible underneath the digitzer, and then of course there's dust all over the place because it's impossible NOT to get dust under there, and the ribbon cable is peaking through the top, and i'm sure there's gonna be screen lift at some point. oh, and my bezel is def warped and bent out on the left side from prying with that stupid safe pry tool to get the digitzer out....clearly it isn't so safe!
oh and not to mention that my menu button doesn't fully light up anymore like the rest of them, because apparently you hvae to get teh LED's on there JUST RIGHT for them to light correctly.
yeah it cost $30, but it was a gift to my brothers wife until she can upgrade in a year...sure, she doesn't notice any of that, and it's a huge upgrade from her fascinate, but my brother and i sure do. we both did it together, and if me, someone who tinkers with electronics all the time, and him, a mechanical engineer, can't get it perfect, i'd say to just get the insurance replacement lol i would have, def, especially if you're as picky as me.....
Me doing it myself is probably not going to happen.

$99 later and a new rezound in hand.
Next question!
If I got a lemon, do I just deal with Assurian or can I get a replacement thru Verizon? On the screen when I got the phone it said 1 year Assurian warranty. Do I cancel my $7 a month insurance?
Thanks for the insight if anyone has experience beyond my point so far.

no i think you need to keep asurion to get it replaced warranty wise through asurion. and yeah, you call verizon, but asurion is who warranty replaces it
I wish I could find a way to get another S3 but if she dropped the Rezound, the S3 would have no chance of survival.
