You should find a cell phone repair store in your area. They should be able to order the screen and replace it for you.

Call HTC find out if you have insurance. You may need to pay 100 though with the insurance. Also if you are s- off make sure you relock before sending it back. It's ok buddy we all make mistakes

You may want to do some extra research, because I found a bunch of the cheaper ones online that DID NOT have the little window for the proximity sensor and light sensor. Just looking at the picture for the one you linked, it appears to not have that window either. In fact, the one linked to repairuniverse does not show the window either. It should be just near the top of the "checkmark" Verizon logo.
**edit**
Here ya go, try this one:
http://www.gogotoshop.com/product_info.php?language=en¤cy=USD&products_id=4896
This one clearly shows that it has the little window I'm talking about just above the checkmark.

I don't think that would work because you need space between them both. Maybe use hot glue and put just enough so there is room between the lcd and digitizer. Plus hot glue isn't permanent like super glue.

First pay the deductible then return it within 30 your 30 days
At my store phones need to be in like new condition to be eligible for returns or swaps. So good luck on that.

Ha oh gosh, not another one of these...Be prepared for people to come out of the woodwork telling you how bad of a person you are..I don't give a damn, but I also try to think about karma and what not..
But to answer your question, yes. Don't go to the all-star Super sprint employee who looks like he/she will bust your balls..go when it is busy, and you can probably get away with returning it or getting it swapped for some other B.S issue you can make up. Such as software or random reboots, and hope they do not notice. If they do notice, worse they will do is turn you away and say we can't take it back, and in that case just use your phone insurance if you have any.

I gotta ask, if scratches are that devastating to you, why weren't you using a screen protector in the first place? A quality screen protector doesn't detract from the screen's beauty, scratches do.
My car has a couple scratches on it. I wonder if the dealer will take it back...
Where does personally responsibility begin? With or without a screen protector, how long do you think your going to keep the scratch & dent gods at bay? You will replace this phone in 1 year or less; is it such an inconvenience now that you would potentially "sell your soul" and do something dishonest?
By the way, I have (2) scratches on my 3D and have no intentions of replacing it. It still works perfectly fine albeit a few hiccups from time to time. Nothing that I dont expect from a device of this type...

I bought the Otter cell phone case which comes with the screen protected and so far I've dropped my phone 3 times accidentally put it in the same pocket as my keys. Open it up to do a little clean up from the dust and the thing looks like I bought it the same day.
It maybe bulky but I know when It is time for me to upgrade I'll get full value for this hotness at radio shack.
When you think of this stuff, you shouldn't tell everyone. Just get some buffer and buff it out. You openly admitted to causing the scratches. If you had a child and he fell on his head... would you return it to your baby momma's vagina and ask for a refund to impregnate another women?

When I got my hero, I put it in a case with a built in screen protector for about 4 months, then someone gave me an otterbox defender where it stayed for 1 year and 4 months. When I swapped out my Hero they told me that they had never seen a screen that was that old, look that beautiful.
It's not too hard to take care of the things you own. I don't necessarily think about karma or anything, but I just know how I want to be dealt with and try to not be a hypocrite by doing the opposite to others. This is why I didn't sell it on Craigslist. The battery was crapping out and I don't think I could have gotten any more from a person on CL than I was offered by Best Buy if I was completely honest with the buyer.
I was just asking for ideas to help, people. No need for "If you dropped a baby, blah blah blah. I'm a douchebag". I get it. I rarely do dumb **** like this, and the scratches piss me off. Anyways, I'll just see if I can get used to it for the next couple of days. If not, I'll probably return it and try to get another one. Thanks for replying.

That's probably your headphones doing that. I had the same problem with 1 pair. They would randomly skip songs in Pandora, make calls, and basically lock up the phone. These were just plain headphones...no mic, etc. I ordered some newer ones with a mic and they've worked find (plus my old ipod ones would work ok as well).
There's plenty of people that screw over Sprint (getting 'work' discounts when you really shouldn't, using insurance to upgrade phones..hello TP2 for 'broken' TP1, etc.). You certainly wouldn't be the first nor the last .
I think the problem is that Sprint won't fix it for a small fee.
Oh wait they used to do that and suddenly stopped. I guess you should just return the whole thing then.

Quote for the day: If you truly want honesty, don't ask questions you don't really want the answer to" Proverbs
Then people wonder why the Techs and Store Reps are a-holes. It's dealing with people like this everyday when its there own fault.
This might be the first fatality of an Evo LTE. It happened early this morning. I was loading my work truck with pipe for a project and I climbed up to tie down the pipes on the rack. I bent down to reach the ratchet tie and my phone slipped out of my shirt pocket landing face down onto some gravel. The back cover popped off. I climbed down and picked it up, and as I turned it around I saw the damage. Surprisingly I didn't freak out as one would expect. I called the insurance company and after paying the $100 deductible, a new phone will arrive in about 2 weeks. I had just bought the phone on Saturday so I hadn't really enjoyed it much yet.
Being that these phones are still new and some even on back order, I hope I'll be receiving a NEW phone and not a refurbished one. Lesson learned... never putting my phone in my shirt pocket again.

I have Sprint's insurance. Because it's such a new phone the insurance company doesn't have any stocked yet. That's why I'm hoping that means I'll be getting a new phone instead of reburbished.

I was walking in to work today and I bumped my leg and my phone slipped out of my hand and landed smack down on the screen on concrete tile. I had the blue silicon gel case from sprint on it and from what it looks like it survived. However if I apply any pressure on the bottom of the phone below the home button on the plastic that touches the metal it makes a cracking sound like the plastic is rubbing together, and that could just be that small back plastic piece where the speaker is, does anyone else's phone make that sound?

I've broken my digitizer twice before. Once for being an idiot and the second time for not being careful. Lol. Regardless its not very difficult. The problem you will probably have is if they don't include any kind of adhesive to hold the digitizer down. If it doesn't come with any pm me and I can help you find what you need. Or you will also not like all the dirt and lint that will get up under your screen, lol.

The problem you will probably have is if they don't include any kind of adhesive to hold the digitizer down. If it doesn't come with any pm me and I can help you find what you need. Or you will also not like all the dirt and lint that will get up under your screen, lol.

See that's why I'm taking mine somewhere to do it I bought the digitizer so the place I take it to won't install a generic one like my incredible plus in case they mess up at least I know they can replace it!

Did the same thing to my phone
The only difference is that it's the top corner only with a few cracks going down and across the screen.
Haven't found any glass replacement. Sadly with all the looking I've done, the only solution seems to be replacement of the entire front display. Most prices I've seen on eBay and the like were $250+, but I think Samsung will do a warranty repair for $200, not sure as I've not called them myself.
I am going to fix a friend's note and I found out you cannot just pull off the gorilla (panty) glass. You have to replace the LCD and digitzer as a complete unit. There are YouTube videos showing the steps.
I am curious as to what the lower left icon opens :silly:

The glass is $10 at many sites. It is held in place with glue that can only be loosened with infrared. Good luck.
hope this helps

You are probably looking at $265 for the digitizer/glass combo. It's a simple repair, but the glass isn't cheap. I'd almost venture to say your best bet is to start hunting around Craigslist and sell your old one for parts. I'm sure someone somewhere has water damaged their phone and needs a new main board.

Samsung repaired mine for $197.01. Free shipping to and from Plano, TX. Just like new. I now have a Otterbox defender case and like the case a lot.

Sorry to hear about the damage bro but....Dude, no case? Anybody carrying their note around naked is asking for trouble. Cases are cheap, compared to the repair/replacement costs of the Note's s screen.
I have repaired many, many iphones from broken glass to all out dead. Done some Android work as well. One thing I notice is that the replacement screens on most phones either look cheap, feel cheap, are prone to horrible finger printing, digitizers work but only so so, etc.
I busted my hump and found a Defender for mine locally for 30 bux! Repair cost is way too high and I guarantee that the only repair that will feel and work like a Note should, will be factory refurb.
There is no sense in carrying a caseless Note. Trust me, if you break it and have repaired, it will never be the same, unless you can prove the parts that you use are OEM. Another thing to watch is that some of the OEM parts you may find actually turn out to be parts that Samsung themselves rejected for reasons unknown. You will find those reasons out once you put them to use.
Make sure that your source is trusted, or sell your phone on ebay for parts, add a couple hundo's and get fresh unit. Save yourself teh wasted cash, effort and overall PIA!!!! It won't be worth it.
Guess I'm going to put my note back in its case.

Did they send you a different phone or did they replace the glass on the one you sent them?
I dropped mine couple weeks ago and i've been waiting for a solution. Just got the galaxy s3 so deciding if I should get it fixed before selling or just sell it as is.

Agreed on the defender. I dropped mine from about waist height while inside of the Defender and everything was good (no hairline cracks, nothing) and even the case didnt split open.

My biggest fear of the G3's thin screen glass happened 12hrs after I received the phone. I didn't hardly even get to use the damn thing. Now I'm just sending it to LG for repair. Yes I could purchase the digitizer and do the repair myself but I honestly don't have the time.

By the looks of the damage...does the little frame dent change everything when it comes to LG just replacing the screen itself? Or do you think they will charge for a refurbished?
huh, I would just be more careful.

Just bad luck on my part. All that damage from a fall from about 2ft. I was talking on the phone with the wife and went to tie my shoe and the rest was history.

They are going to send you what they have in Stock, I damaged my G3 in the rain, the week that it came out.
I paid the $150 deductible, and they sent me a brand new G3 in the box, through Asurion.
Could be refurbished, or it could be new, depending on what they have in stock at the moment.
I would recommend a TPU case, and tempered glass.
You can get both on ebay 2-3 day shipping for less than $20.

I'm actually sending it to the LG repair center in Fort Worth, TX. Same price you paid but direct for LG.
I had intended to get the case and tempered glass this friday when I got paid. Dumb luck just couldn't wait till then. lol

Lol. I tried and all but dove on the damn ground to grab it but yeah...didn't work out.
These phones are slicker than the g2..
I got a cheap bump case as soon as I felt the back of this phone
Almost as though grip is the last thing these manufacturers want you to have. Think about it. We have octocore now. And still we have metal frame and plastic backs or soft grip backs with slippery ass metal frame. Makes no logical sense other than looks and money in damges are a sure business ...lol. Remember that time when most phones had that rubberized metal? Hmmmm. Lol

I was more pissed that I didn't listen to myself and get a damn case and glass screen protector. Just wish the damn glass wouldn't of shattered. I could of lived with a little dent in the frame but the whole thing going out just poured salt into the wound.
Yup, did the same. Fell 2 feet, exploded. My replacement is in an Otterbox
lol, i was afraid of this happening when the wife had hers hit the ground. she had it stuffed under her leg in the seat and when she got out, lol, yeah it went flying. luckily it just put a small ding in the frame. she was REAL lucky.
I wish that was all I got....ending up with both really hurt.
Consumers vote with their wallets for thin phone with thinner bezels. Unfortunately, that translates to more fragile phones, too.

yeah, she was extremely lucky..no money to replace/ fix it. but we have cases and the hard glass protectors in route and should see them by Christmas, as well as my replacement phone. (radio went dead, sprint tech said its a common thing. who knows, just glad my is being replaced.)

Common? I doubt it. I don't think I've read another post here, or on the other big Android forums, about the radios dying. I'm sure it happens, but I don't think it's common.

Sure, most cell phone owners aren't on these forums. But many people do join when they have a problem. I actually think we see more problems on the forums than the population in general.

lol, not the majority of the population i know. that what they use the carrier stores for. very few if any know about rooting...if they can do it from the play store..for the ones that understand it, thats as far as they go.
i started here a few years ago when i got my moto photon, i wanted it more me, but all i did was root, change themes, once changed boot logo and i think once changed the rom. as for my galaxy 10.1, its running a 4.4.4 ROM from nameless. the lg g3 is the first real smartphone for me, but my 2nd LG..lol, first one was in 03 and not even close to a smart phone and im here to learn more about it and to make it more me. this phone is actually worth it.
