Well Today I dropped my Rezound, That was in an Otter Box Defender case, from my pocket to concrete.... To my surprise when i picked it up, the screen was glass was cracked. Is it me, or are screens getting weaker and weaker. I mean this is the first time i ever broke a screen on a phone, and it was easy... I've had Droid 1's, 2's, X's, X2, and 3's as my past phones, and i never manged to scratch that screen, and i never used screen protectors or cases on them, and this HTC phone breaks while it is in a case...
Well enough ranting, I ordered a new digitizer from Amazon and i was woundering if any of you guys have replaced a screen on this phone, and if it is difficult to do.
Here is the guide I used to take mine apart. http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-rezound-screen-repair-take-apart.html
So much for the Otterbox Defender series being protective.

Yeah I don't think its strong as it used to be..I have dropped my eris handful of times on concrete (I work in a factory.)in the last few years and I dropped my rezound the other day and it shattered. Still tryin to decide if I wanna replace it myself or pay the deductible.

If you confident that you can replace it yourself, I'd say replace it yourself.
It's saving me about $50, and a lot of time of relocking this phone, and unlocking the other one.

I feel confident in replacing it myself..I just don't want any asurin hicups if I need to send it in for other issues. But then again it shouldn't matter because its insurance and not a warrenty issue? Or is that a fine line?

The way I understand it is if your filing a claim, its because something that is not covered by the 1 year manufactures warranty went wrong with the phone, I.E water damage, broken screen etc.. So I don't think replacing a screen would void the Asurin warranty.
Also I don't think they really pay attention to the defected devices they receive.
you know, you might try contacting otterbox. they may hook you up.
That sucks, Ive dropped this thing half a dozen times with just a cheap eBay tpu case with no damage, must have hit just right.

I've known people who dealt with them and with other companies on similar issues, and they approached it by telling them that they were very dissappointed to be in this situation because before that, they believed in the product. And if they had been a long time customer, while being polite and courteous, and many of them got assistance from the company in covering the cost of repair parts.

Ok, I saw this youtube link and want one now! As of now they do not layer Amazes yet. I e-mailed the company in an attempt to see if they can apply their "nano" layer of the amaze. I really want this!

Old news. There have been many companies that claimed to be able to do it. I'm assuming they all led to failure.

I actually agree. I just sent him a PM and found this after the PM.
I might have to go through every one of his posts and remove any that seem negative or not productive... I just wouldn't want him to be reduced to Junior Member status.
I have a hard time putting faith in something like this. Not trying to be overly skeptical but I'm sure the company won't shed too many tears if my device shorts out.
As for the technology, I'm thinking it's some sort of PVD coating which wears down over time, particularly so with something like a phone.
Met some of these guys at CES, though I think there were other companies there doing the same thing. They were demonstrating on some iPhones, and on a tissue paper that had been treated as well (putting blue-dyed water on the tissue - beaded up nice).
Talked to them for a bit. Guy told me it's not yet 100% waterproof, step below. Asked him what that meant - basically you should try to avoid prolonged submersion in water. But a dip in the toilet, bath, pool should be fine.
If anyone wants, I have a 30% off treatment code from them. I think it's multi-use, since it doesn't seem unique. Normal price is $59.99 I believe.

Seems a bit fishy. liquid dynamics do not work like that with electronics... At least not now. might be worth it to a degree, but how many times do you let your $500 device out of your sight?

about the guys saying they wouldnt risk it, are you saying you would risk water droping or some other liquid on your phone? lol, id rather have a "chance" of having this product in case something happened. they dont make this product so we can take underwater pictures or go swimming with it, they make it so its protected.. lol, ive actually had a friend spill beer all over my leg when i had my HD7 and luckily the water damage label didnt go off and i got it replaced. im sure i wouldnt have to if i had this

There are a couple now. HTC has gotten smart about it. I'd assume there are 3-4 on every new phone. With MSRP rising, they just want to be sure. Not trying to be negative, just a little realistic. If you believe a $4 sticker can trick HTC into giving you a $530 phone replacement... sounds like a crime to me.
Has anyone gotten this type of treatment done yet?

Btw, I forgot to actually put this on the other thread, but this is the response I got from them when I was inquiring before.
Thanks for your Inquiry, sorry for the delayed response.
That device is not currently on our approved device list but we are
constantly doing research and development to expand the available
devices. Liquipel is applicable to all types of electronic devices but
with a varying degree of performance. For devices not on the approved
device list we are still able to make them splash proof and spill
resistant. We will file your request and notify you when the device is
available if you are not interested in having it treated before it is
has been added to the approved device list.
The usual turn around time is anywhere from the same day we receive
your device. To 1 business day.
Thanks

So basically, they can still do it but they don't seem to guarantee a full waterproof seal
Then we should bombbard them with requests to put it on the list!

I wish I didn't have such a perfectionist mind and be crazy about the smallest imperfections, but really HTC, you need to get your **** together. I upgraded to the Evo3D because I had replaced my Evo4G screen 2 times already because of issues with dust and had my hopes very high that by upgrading to the 3D I might finally be able to avoid the problem. Little did I know, I was mistaken. I lurked for many days for some insight into the whole dust situation before even buying the Evo3D and could only find rare occurences so I figured I should be fine. 2 Months later I have one spec of dust. I said okay, its small enough that maybe I can let this one go, but then today I noticed 5 pieces total. This is a quality control issue and I have tried going to the repair center for sprint and they said it was not covered under the TEP plan. What bull****, and HTC wont fix it either. I'm in no mood to fight this issue with them again that this is a manufacturing defect so I decided I'm going to leave the HTC scene. I really regret to even resort to this but I'm very heavily contemplating an iPhone 4, mainly because of the build quality, and the fact that the screens are all on top of one another, there are no open spaces between any of the sheets of glass, therefore there is no room for dust to squeeze its way in there.
If anyone has any way to get the dust out before I jump ship, or rip my head off, please give me some insight. I really love the android community, and it's been very good to me. Thanks in advance.

Let me rephrase this in the form of a question, Alex. (I actually am interested in the answer because I can't read my clock on sunny days due to the dust.)
"I have a forest of pocket lint growing in the upper right corner of my screen. Has anyone successfully remedied this? If so, could you please share?"

I only had this problem with my HERO. Got it replaced for free, no questions asked. Had the EVO 3D since launch-day. Not a single speck of dust under my screen. I'm not sure how people are doing this, but I'm beginning to think it's the way people treat their phones. The HERO I had was bought from a friend. I take VERY good care of all my phones, and never have these problems. I don't even use a case on my phone. At most, a matte screen protector.
But in all honesty, you probably should've sprung for the TEP plan. I recommend EVERYONE getting it. And if you get an iPhone, you CAN'T get it through Sprint. You'll have to buy Apple One Care, which I think turns out to be more expensive (I may be wrong).

Lifted it out ... after getting it super hot to make the adhesive gooey, right? I've actually built an EVO 3D from parts laying around, and other parts I ordered online. I don't recommend anyone else do this, it was brutal, but it works 100%.
The other big lesson I learned from ordering on-line: While the website may say: "Brand new parts" they may arrive and you find they are brand new, but did not actually pass quality standards in the factory! The 3D I built has tiny, hair-line scratches in the digitizer! Most time you never notice, but "Brand new parts" doesn't actually give you the full story.
Sorry, ranting here.

My phone has a dust spray on the bottom right corner. Been there since I bought. I'm living with it now since it's out of the way and doesn't usually bother me. But I agree that it's terrible that the phone was shipped this way. I do have Sprint TEP plan but been too lazy to go in.
I've had two HTC phones and do really like them but I'm moving to a Samsung next time for sure. Probably replace this before I buy a new one then sell it. HTC phones are beginning to all look too much the same. Time to move on.
I have the cheap $4 (not including the damage loss) TEP but:
1) I don't want to lose my 1.4 bootloader and get a lousy reman unit.
2) since a bunch of updates (thanks, freeza), it has stopped rebooting at random, which was the only reason I got TEP in the first place
I fear that blowing air in the left side (headphone jack) might move the forest (presently in the upper right) downward, not just rightward. I'm tempted to cancel the TEP and just break it open for a proper cleaning.
I think this was a qc issue. My old evo was 100% clean under the screen. This 3d, after fewer months in the same environment) looks like a freaking dryer vent.
Well it happened; after several smart phones over the span of 4ish years, I finally broke a screen. Sat the phone down at work, and it slid onto the hard tile floor and shattered the screen pretty damn bad. Everything still works, it's just an eye sore and I'm sure eventually a piece of glass will find its way into my finger.
Anyway, for those that have undertaken this adventure (because I'm not paying $150 to wait 4-6 weeks for US Cellular to send it into a service station), where is the best place to get this replacement glass piece? I've seen several places online that sell it, but am not sure who to trust.
So where do all my fellow Mophoer's recommend?

I dropped mine for the first time today, and actually ran over it with an industrial grade John Deere tractor, but somehow my MoPho came out of this all with nothing but a small scratch in the screen. Just saw this thread and it reminded me that I need to have some glass bookmarked.
I noticed yesterday small cracks appearing round the edges of the openings in the white back of my S3. I've emailed Samsung to see what they will do about it but thought i'd see if anyone has had issues like this. I dont take the cover off my phone very often and i'd say it's been off less than 10 times since i've owned it (July).

My brother's S3 had that and he barely removed it since he is using a case. Like once a month. It has been an issue since the beginning. You have to buy a new back cover if you can't live with that. Or a case.
Be aware these are some of the weakest parts of the case, if when removing the case you bend it back to far this may occurr. What is too far?, when that was
To open the case you should only pull it back ebnough to get your fingle nails under it and then pull it back and off without bending any of it, this is possible, i've had mine off numerous times this way with no damage at all.
New backs cost naff all though, just replace it fella.
Show iSheep why a removable back is so awesome... Get on ebay and buy a new one, they are really cheap (thank you plastic) then laugh at the iSheep you know who have to send it in for service when their precious chicken foil gets scratched.

Samsung will probably claim user damage and take no responsibility anyway so hit ebay and get a new one.
Take the chance and show the iSheep what customization is all about - I've even seen a carbon fibre one for less than $10. A regular plastic one is even cheaper and there are all kinds of covers, plenty to choose from.
I have a crack like that too. And the white around the Samsung letters have also started flaking off.

Buy one from ebay, you can buy metal/poly-carbonate and other sexy backs, or a very cheap regular one.
my white:silly: iphone 3gs developed similar cracks all by its self , i think something is wrong with the quality cuz my 3 weeks old galaxy s3 doesnt have any yet hopefully not in the future
Thanks for the responses, but I think a lot of people are missing the point. The back case is not fit for purpose. Yes I could easily go onto eBay and buy a new one and there are loads on there to choose from. As for iSheep, I've owned 4 iPhones previously and if I had this issue with any of them whilst still in warranty, Apple would have replaced my handset with out much hassle.
If Samsung ever get back to my support query and suggest that the cracks are caused by myself i'll be really disappointed. People can complain all they want about Apple products but their customer service is second to none when devices are still in warranty.

Actually, from someone who worked at an applecare call center, I will disagree. We were actually instructed to always try to make it the user's fault if possible. It's easier than one would think. That and gut customers saying they're only covered for 1 year when you actually have 2 under Europe's laws. Only when the customer insist A LOT and starts citing laws, were we allowed to escalate the call to a second tier operator who'll still try but most likely end up complying with the customer's request for that 2nd year.
I could go on forever with the **** they have us pull on the customers (some are real asshats that actually deserve though)
Not saying Samsung's any better, I actually don't know how Samsung's service is (hell, I'm actually not expecting it to be any better) but trust me, Apple is not there for the customer, that I know. If you experienced better with Apple, I'll actually be glad since I wasn't cool with their behavior by any means.
Let us know how it turns out please
I bent mine in half and all the paint fractured on it, thought they were really flexible, I guess not
I few months ago i posted a thread with this same issue...
well, a few weeks later, I managed to fix my problem with a "non-cientific" method... to say at least... but it worked for me, don't know why... I removed the back cover... plugged the usb cable on the phone and put the back cover back to the phone with the usb cable plugged in... checked to see if it was properly fitted ... and believe it or not.. the crack on back case was gone...
give it a try... maybe works for you too
Hey, so I cracked my One X+ screen quite badly, it fell on it's side on a wood floor, and it cracked.
Thing is, this isn't a normal crack, if I put it in my pocket, I end up with pieces of glass everywhere, and if I use it, my fingers get cut and bleed, so I can't use it right now.
I am not a handy guy myself, so I won't even try fixing it, I've been checking out some places, they seem decent, but they mostly do iPhone repairs. One of them quoted me $150, and another $130
The $150 has a 5-star yelp rating, but then again, iPhone screens (from what I know) are fairly easy to replace
I'm so pissed at myself, because I never wanted to use a case, as the phone is really sexy and feels good.
I e-mailed corning for the gorilla glass damage, which was weird, and they said that they will pay me $200 for the phone and they will (obviously) keep it for research (Probably replace the screen and sell it?)
I'm so worried, because after reading around, it seems that HTC One X screens never end up looking good, and I can imagine that being worse for the X+, as it is a bit more rare.
The screen is cracked on the side, and those cracks extend all the way to the other side of the phone, but on the left side, the glass is just destroyed.
Will post pics later
Wow, that sucks bud. I broke the screen on my SGSII last year and just chucked it and bought a phone on E-bay.
I replaced the screen on an I-pod and it was pretty simple. I did a lot of research before I did it and it turned out good.
I don't know what to tell you as far as replacement. If you got $200.00 for the broken one and could find one on E-bay for $450.00, you would have a replacement for $250.00. Just a thought.
Best of luck and post some picks when you can.

Yeah, I'm mostly discarding that option. I do wonder if its actually possible for the phone to end up decently after one of these repairs

I spose if you found someone qualified to do the repair, it should be like new when it's done. Be sure they use a good quality screen and digitizer for the repair. Should even consider using a direct HTC replacement. Of course that will up your cost.
I spose it depends on what you are willing to do for your phone. How bad do you want your HOX+ back??
I would just send it to HTC, cost me 180 british pounds, the good side is that you will get a new unibody, and a full service on the insides of the phone. I think its well worth it, and it keeps your warranty in play.

I don't care much about the warranty, if it dies I'll replace it, thing is, I can get upto $150, since I'm a high school kid, and (this is serious!) my parents said that if I break my phone, they're not replacing my phone in the next 2 years.
So they don't know.

Actually the one x and one x plua use the same screen/digitizer and you have to pry the back of it off and disconnect it all if you really want that phone to work and keep any bit of warrenty send it to htc if not bring it to a repair shop

They sell kits on e bay with instructions and ideo instructions on you tube invest in an otter box it dosent add too much bulk and its a bargain ive seen people drop their phones 35 feet when i worked in chemical plants otter boxes on had a gash in it from tumbling down insulation bouncing off pipes and hitting concrete foundations phone was 100%fine

The One X and One X + are definitely a difficult replacement. You need to FULLY clean up the old adhesive and take your time or you will get bad results. You also need to use the right adhesives to get good results. It would cost about $10 to $15 to get a role of adhesive you could use (trimming needed in tight areas) that would do about 50 phones.
Take your time and be thorough. Also be REALLY carefull with all the flex cables or you will be screwed when you put it back together.
I have fixed about 25 of the One X and one One X+ and its a minimum of 1.5 hours of work for me now and I know exactly what to do.
