Well, my 17 month old got mad at my phone because it wouldn't play his YouTube video .....so he threw it onto the tile floor. Needless to say, I now have 2 cracks that run diagonally across the screen. Its still useable, but I want to fix it. Anyone have an extra screen or broken phone they're willing to part with...or know a place I can get a replacement screen on the cheap? Also correct me if I'm wrong, but I should only need to replace the glass correct?

This is the exact same panel I purchased, one of the cheapest options I found. Most others I saw are $40-$50.
The one customer review on there does warn the panel they received had white softkeys; that sounds similar to the non-Verizon branded panels with only the HTC logo up in that top spot instead. Seen a couple of those on Developer handsets and for sale. Unfortunately, the review is silent on that logo matter. Red Sharpie can color softkeys, can't fix logo issue.
That said, my order from them looks perfectly stock, both logos and red softkeys.
Something to consider if you have the phone under contract and must keep it looking stock after repairs.
um i just got FREAKED OUT... i dropped my screen a month ago and my screen almost looks EXACTLY like that... i have an extra crack connected to the big two.... freaky
EDIT: i would take a pic but i dont have a camera and my droid x2 is on a rom without a working camera...
Awesome, thanks for the replies gents. I can deal with it not looking the same so long as there isn't huge cracks in it

I dropped mine the other day from about breast pocket height, it hit the concrete, bounced and finally landed screen face down. When it was all said and done all that was damaged was a small scuff on the corner where it hit. That was my yearly allotted amount of luck I suppose.
Anyways, I really only commented to say thank you for your service Gunny. I did 10 U.S.Army, medically retired for combat related back injuries. Salute to you.
Sorry about the phone, hope you can get it fixed soon.

Well, my son is fascinated by all of our electronics....his first favorite toy was a USB cable. He has an old Eris that I gave him, but whenever he sees the opportunity to grab mine or my wife's phones or tablets, he does. Case in point, he actually just grabbed my electric razor, while I was holding him and posting this...

My parents always thought I was going to electrocute (yes, i spelled it wrong) myself before I was 5.
WHen I was about 4 years old, I was in the hospital to have my tonsils taken out.
My dad was a doctor and worked in that hospital so we knew everybody there.
While I was waiting to go in the operating room one of my dads buddies said "here little man, play with this for a while" and handed me some piece of surgical equipment (I have no idea what it was now years later).
I took it all apart and when they came to retrieve it nobody could figure out how to put it together again. I overheard one doc say "I didn't even know those things came apart"............

I tried to deal with the issues but HTC's quality control has went downhill. From the beginning.. it was dead pixels, paint missing in the capacitive buttons, yellow, tilted, shifted screens. You can call it OCD or whatever you want but I don't feel I should have to live with these defects for the next 2yrs after paying $200+.
After it hitting 100+ the other day in NYC and the 1 being off the weather lockscreen, I just finally said F this! Maybe Joe Shmoe, non-tech people can live with things being 'off' but I sure as hell can't & won't.
Even Sprint's speeds have took a nose dive. I feel like what is the point of having a top notch phone like this, when the network isn't up to snuff?!?
I do still like the phone and may eventually pick one up down the road, when a new HW version hits the stores. As of now, I'm going to explore my options...even if it's on another carrier.
Well good luck....I'm having no problems with mine...and its been 100+ for the past 50 days here in the heart of Texas

Word. Service first, pricing second, phone third. If you dont have good coverage where you are then whats the point of staying with Sprint? As far as the phone goes, yeah there are little issues here and there. I have a slightly tilted screen that I don't even notice anymore. That is the only manufacturing issue I've had so I consider myself lucky. I do have insurance so once a new HW version is released that addresses the tilted screen issue I will just go swap it for a new one in the Sprint store but for now its not crucial. The lockscreen issue is annoying and hard to believe it wasn't noticed/addressed before release; however, I'm not very concerned with it as I will switch to an AOSP ROM once S-OFF is acheived so I can live with it- plus, in Denver it rarely hits 100 degrees, though hits 98 and 99 all the effin time!

That's what I was getting ready to type. Did any of you read the last line? Lol. (I know some got it, but not most.)
I hate to join the poo-poo party but if we don't see some action soon I'm jumping ship to SGS2 ASAP as well. I got it, I loved it, I got board and fed up with the crap radio strength, jumped to NS4G...loved it besides crap radio strength....went back to E3D with best radio I have seen in one (which still ain't sayin much) love this phone again....now I have one with the best radio I have seen them with and I'm just flippin' bored....and that SGS2 screen (SAMOLED+) not being 16:9 is also gives teh huge bonar. Not to mention it's not sitting in development limbo.
...yeah, honestly, it's mostly about the dev limbo. Also we can't forget Samsung camera @ 8mp. The one in the NS4G was only 5mp (blah blah blah, I know, MP's ain't everything) and it took stunning pix.
This could all change with s-off or something happening soon, but, I'm just effing bored. Oh cool, a fast sense phone....bzzzzt.....soon to be baleeted.

Hey **** bird its called a joke, don't be so uptight. I'm keeping my phone, I love it.
The SGS2 for sprint went past FCC today and most likely with a 4.5IN screen.I love tall phones and if the 4.5 is true ill be way past happy with the SGS2 and i am also glad that after i sent the 3D back in the mail today i do not have to worry about Dev's holding or HTC holding S-OFF over me.
I did not only send it back because of the S-OFF i have other reasons but the whole S-OFF thing with leaked (yeah right leaked lol) youtube of s-off and HTC with there BS i am just glad it is over.And i am still reading the forum till my new phone gets here in 2 days.
Wish you guys the best with the 3D i would go back to it if all the other fail but that waits to be seen.

No, I never tried to justify it based on MPs. That is just icing on the already delicious cake...though past 5mp it's really diminishing returns...besides, that was not why the NS4G took stunning pictures. The sensor (and likely the lense) are of higher quality than HTC's (notoriously bad) camera setups.
...though the E4G had the same sensor as the Iphone4. Food for thought.

I'm sure the lens also played a role in it. That seems like a very Apple thing to worry about. Frankly I'm shocked more mfgrs don't pay attention to it. A tiny amount of extra R&D and even tinier increase in cost would yield so much better results...
....but then that wouldn't afford them accolades. Then people just wouldn't ***** about it. People don't say anything when something performs up to their expectations, only when it doesn't. Some people would think this was more a problem with people's expectations than with the hardware or R&D process...I'm on the fence. Overly suggestive advertising does a lot to dissuade me from siding with the mfgr on that one...
I just broke my freaking phone. :| Someone post here to make me feel better.

It's probably a bit late for you, but I have kept my last non-smart phone in "mothballs" (eg, with the battery removed) as an emergency backup, until I could get another smartphone. On Verizon, a user can switch phones 24/7 by just registering the phone OTA (the previous ESN is replaced).
I've only needed to do this once, but it at least keeps my phone # active.

Hopefully not too well.
Digitzers (the glass over the LCD) are usually pretty easy to replace. I have a Motorola Atrix and I have replaced mine twice.
We have several phone lying about that I can let you have for shipping costs.
Not smart phones but it would be free.
We have:
katana eclipse X - black
Katana dlx - champagne
lg rumor - white
lg pm225 red/silver
I could let you have my POS Transform. It's my current phone so I might need $10 or $20 to help with the upgrade, but it beats $100
I know, the options are underwhelming and impossible to choose from.

oh i know it's not the best, but when i use to work at my local sprint store, after the 2.3 update, it was a lot smoother, but i guess i'll see how it is when i get it, it's just something different i think, and it's a phone a lot of people don't have, so it'll turn heads to a point,lol, and for the price, i got this thing for $80, no bad i'd say for a mid ranged android phone with 2 screens, but i'll have this, my evo3d, THE MOPHO!!! still got my crap pre, and a moment
I played with it at my local sprint store and it seemed very...sluggish its a neat concept but that's about it with the pluses lol
Don't remember when it came out or when the update came out but it was a few months before the photon when I messed with it.
89 bucks you can't beat that though plus you could always Clist it for 100 if you ever need some cash lol
Its the same og evo engine now powering two screens. Slowness is expected.

1st person to actually say that,lol, but hopefully after i root it, someone out there made an overclocking kernal, i think 1.2Ghz would make the echo run smooth as butter
It's a great big steaming plie of crap
Slow and clunky.

I'd like to pick one up as well. It'll never replace the Photon, but I always wanted one off contract...$80 you say? Hmm...could be fun at that price.

nope discontinued along with the EVO4g i'm afraid (my 1st smart phone) that's kinda why i'm happy to have one now just to fool around with seeing as it may be considered a "rare" phone now, even ebay barely has them listed
I've never truly understood ebay. How can someone auto max bid me out I want a ET4G :OOOO:

okay, hopefully i can explain this, say someone posted an item starting at $0.99
you make your 1st bid $90, up until it reaches $90 you are safe as the highest bidder
so it goes like this
Item $0.99
you bid $90
until someone else bids, you could possibly win the item for $0.99, but you have a $90 cushion
so someone bids $20
the highest bid is now $20, I.E. your cushioned bid and your still the highest bidder
someone bids $90.01, they are now the highest bidder because you only bid up to $90 (and yes, sometimes that penny difference could mean a lost bid!!!)
like with my echo, started at $0.99, i bid $70.01 (to make it an even $80 with shipping) 5 other people bided on the phone but no one went higher then $70.01 so i won it at $70.01, but if someone went just one penny higher, i would have lost
hope i explained it clearly happy bidding
i would love to have one, just to muck around with.
but yea qsd 8650 was a massive battery hog to begin with, adding a second screen... the best thing they ever did for that phone was make it 3g only.
hows cm7 on it?

doesn't seem like there's much development for it, i barely found how to root the darn thing, but if i ever find cm7, i'll try it out, and when they updated to gingerbread, they optimized the phone so much for less battery drain
Lol I honestly don't understand how you can be excited to own one when you already have the Photon.
If it were your first smartphone purchase it would be understandable, but just because it's cheap and "rare" does not make it any better.
If you have young kids or a niece or a cousin, you should let them have it. I'm sure they'd be excited by it

My dad still has his
He has had a little buyers remorse but he's still overall happy with it
Wanted to share this with folks, as I know a lot of you would like an early upgrade to the Note 2.
First, we are a business customer; that is my wife works for a large corporation that allows us some nice discounts on our service. We have 3 phone lines in our family, so we are not that big of a account personally..
I called CS today, and asked about an early upgrade. We are only in month 10 of our agreement, so I didn't think I had much chance. The first guy I spoke to was trying to get me to change my plan, and add a line, and do all other stuff, so he could "justify" upgrading me for $299.
I told him no, I didn't want to add a line, or do anything silly like that, and asked to speak to retention.
After being transferred, I politely told the gentleman that I wanted a $199 upgrade to a Note 2; I mentioned that Sprint and T-Mobile had promos for that price, and, I could sell our 3 phones on ebay, and make more than enough to pay the cancellation fees, but, I wasn't threatening to leave, nor did I want to leave, nor did I want 3 upgrades; just one for me.
He came back and said he could do the upgrade for 299, plus he would give me a 30 dollar credit for the next 6 months, effectively making the price 119!! (299-180=119).
I asked him to waive the activation fee, and he said he would give me another 36 dollar credit to take care of that, and, also, throw in 2 day shipping for free!
So, I should have my phone by Friday, and am excited to move to the note 2, especially at THAT price!!
My point is, it appears that now that Xmas has passed, they are more receptive to doing early upgrades for those of us that don't really qualify; also, being very polite, and nice to the agent probably helped me as well!
Thanks to all the great friends, dev's, and mods that I have made in this thread, and, a lot of you have already moved to the Note 2, and I am sure a lot more of you will be there soon as well. Hopefully, you can be as successful as I was in getting an early upgrade if that is what you so desire...See you on the other side soon!!
:good::good:
Sniff.....(wipes eyes)
There goes another satisfied customer....
Pretty soon...It'll be me, and the moderator.....(echo)...LOL....g
I know you will be over there soon too, man..
Not me, I figured how to get multi view and the fancy camera feature About Face. I'm set.

I would hold out for world peace as my condition for happiness.
One phone feature isn't enough for me.
I've also got multi window... Lol. Gotta love being xposed
I would love to try this but with note 3 talk already out maybe I should wait.
Yes it will be a long wait but.....

I really like the notepad feature. I can write easily, but the unit lacks portability.

I LOVE that 2 tone look....acoustic modems FTW!!
Its true that there will always be a next big thing. The flashaholic in me wants a note 2 but att extended my upgrade time to 1 1/2 yrs when I upgraded to the note and I didn't upgrade early. So wait until Oct or pay full price. I'm sure they would be happy to let me pay full (overpriced) retail.

I count on the prices on Craigslist to drop. I have never used my upgrade, because I never want a contract.

Do tell!! I've been looking for a ROM with this capability for a while now. Still haven't found a solution.

Have you guys not tried xposed frameworks and the multi window apk? Works on stock tw based ROMs.
