Just dropped my S3 this afternoon. Cracked/broke the top glass edge.
Is there a simple way to:
1. get the unit replaced by Three (no insurance but its only a few months old on contract)
2. Get it repaired by a service centre (how much??)
3. Repair it myself...what do I need?
Many thanks.

to repair my broken glass an indipendent service (not samsung official) asked my for 280€ (new glass and work), this in italy.. i don't know in your place..
Do you think that would have been avoided with a case that covers the end of the phone?

Same happened to mine, had it replaced at a Samsung service centre for £150 all in.

Ok. It looks a straightforward procedure. I can get the glass screen off Amazon for £14 so will give it a go...
Brave guy. I cracked mine, however I'm going to sell it. Damaging the digitizer while replacing the glass would be too costly.
I saw on ebay the glass and digitizer for 20 bucks.

Read the feedback..
"Looks like, the flex cable was already used!"
"Сlearly is not a T720. non-original parts"
"This is a Scam pice plastic"
And the item description:
"The Digitizer together with the Display,do not come with the Front Glass.Pls remember this."
Smart way to cover it indeed.
Maybe a protective case would have saved it, in fact I always have it on (Samsung) original, the only moment that I have taken it off, the phone dropped from about 20cm and the screen cracked.. I have been unlucky because I've hit the cracking point of the glass..

option 3 is only for non noobs , you do know how to seperate digitizer from outer glass right ?
Try to do it yourself if you are comfortable with opening your phone

You guys know that the lcd+touchscreen+glass are one unit right? There is no way you can replace them separately.

It is possible and if you took time to read this thread from the beginning and follow the links you will be able to watch I it being done
Sorry if I've angered you but I did read the whole thread. Maybe you are right maybe not.
I'll rephrase then: In my opinion it is not possible to change the display, glass or digitizer separately. It is a single unit as it was with the Galaxy S and Galaxy SII.

Ok so the guy has some balls I give you that.
I am in no way trying to pick a fight here. All this is only my opinion.
You will have airgap between the screen and digitizer, second I wonder if the speaker works after al that heat applied. To me it looks highly unprofessional. Again just an opinion.
Remember most people complain about their screen being pentile 1-2 dead pixels and I could go on and on.
This is in my opinion not a good solution. Cheap but not good.

what i did was, order 1 screen+digitizer for 270 US dolars, replace the broken 1.
them i remove the cracked glass from the broken screen and replace it with a new glass
and sell that part for half the price.

So I was laying down and the phone slide off my wireless charger I knocked it off actually and it literally fell 2 feet and cracked hit the corner of the screen had the case on my phone the stock case but it offers no protection. So I'm really hoping the replacement phone doesn't come with ota update then I'd be able to root. Crossing fingers and now I have to get a really good case for this phone that offers protection.

I agree, I think that I have the same "stock case" he speaks of LOL (The flexible tpu case they sell). I have dropped my phone at least 8-10 times out of my car, my 2 ex's trucks, and several other potentially catastrophic drop situations. No scratches, chips, dents, not a mark.

I had mine on a wireless charger on a table about 5ft up. I got up to get some water, stepped on the wire and the device launched in the air about 8-9 ft with stock case. Landed face down on the screen. I thought it was totally done. I pick it up and not one scratch. I guess some are just luckier than others . I drop my phone from 5 feet+ all the time doing bunny hops on my bike when it falls out of my pocket and never any scratches. I think this phone is really strong and durable. Can I see a picture of the device? It hurts to see such a great device and such terrible condition.

Don't forget the cost of $600 to buy another HTC one after you mangle your existing phone trying to access the screen.

You are correct, I changed my back plate and now is bootlooping and I know if that have to be, but my suggestion is just buy the part and ask in your local repair shops if they can do it.

Actually that link is just for a digitizer, I bought the complete housing from here http://www.etradesupply.com/htc/android-models/htc-one-m7.html , if you have insurance us it if not just buy the part and ask in your local repair shops
what is a cracked screen???
What's a reasonable price for an HTC One with a cracked screen? I am looking to sell mine. It has a small hairline crack on the glass but is fine otherwise.

Hi ,
After i cracked my digitizer i tried to avoid from paying 300$ for fixing it.
I ordered "OEM HTC Droid DNA LCD Screen and Digitizer Assembly with Front Housing" - all the parts are already in one unit and factory glued (Digitizer, LCD and Front Housing)
Making the job less complex - no need to glue anything
btw
I did the order from http://www.etradesupply.com - very fast shipping and great service .
now few tips :
1. very hard to open the back cover of the phone in the first time ( it's glued to the loud speaker - need to be patient ).
2. there are 3 antenna cables : 1 of the wireless , and 2 of the camera flash i think - be very gentle to them, they are very sensitive.
3. Remember to remove the "Ear Speaker" from your old phone - it's not part of the new screen ( I forgot it and needed to reopen my phone )
4. Have fun !
If you have questions, i will more then happy to answer :good:
btw #2
If someone want my old parts (Cracked digitizer - fully working, fully working LCD screen and my old front housing - PM me , will discuss on good price to both of as.
Thanks for the post. I just cracked my screen last week and looking at different ways to fix it.
Does anyone know if they have this same part in white for sale anywhere? I want a white screen on my DNA but all I have been able to find are ones that don't come with the earpiece.
Saw on ebay.. but it without the housing..only digitzer and lcd

I bought the lcd and digitizer separate. Then realized I didn't have the adhesive to glue it all back together. Wish I went the whole front panel way..
Same here, I ended up buying the whole housing pre-assembled. Even when I third to glue it the slightest pull on the ribbon cable and part of the screen is unresponsive.

If you planning to buy the same part as i did, it's more easy.
Basic exp with tools suppose to be enough from my point of view.
Regarding the time, it's took me 2 hours - i had to open the phone again, cuz i forgot to place the ear speaker
For the adverse effects:
Back cover - not loose at all, it's connected with hhard plastic clips.
Volume rockers and power bottom - working as before.
One issue that i found, is the charging led, i forgot to takw it out from my old housing

I also agree the OP has a very misleading title for this post. It sounds like they are saying they separated their glass from the LCD and reused it. This is not the case. Not only did the OP replace the digitizer and the LCD but they also replaced the housing.
Great tips tho on removing parts.

Now I'm confused. I thought the digitizer was fused to the glass, but the LCD is a separate part. I see plenty of eBay listings for the glass+digitizer(with soft keys). You're saying if one were to buy that they'd have to glue it to the LCD? I'm skeptical that these 3rd party Chinese products actually use gorilla glass 2 and the same highly sensitive digitizer as HTC's, including the 5" 1080p LCD would make me even more nervous about quality.

No doubt, but Can Not. That eBay listing has errors. It says the x920e in the listing but it can not be. That listing is for a back cover with an SD card. The x920d and the HTL21 have SD cards and a larger cut out on the top of the back cover. The x920e and the DNA have no cut outs are are a couple mms shorter than the other two. Now this one you can use. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290940405280
Anyone have any experience with this case on this phone or any other phone? Looks like a straight rip off of the TakTik for the iPhone. I love the look of it! I'm tempted to buy one and see how it is.

I actually ordered one of these last week for $28 eBay. I'm hoping it is decent. Didn't buy for waterproof just want drop protection. Search the forums other people have reviewed this case. Plus there's some reviews on Amazon.

i had one for my S4 and I can tell you the following:
water covering over the earpiece makes it hard as hell to hear anyone
water covering over the speaker makes anything playing out of it dull sounding and not as loud
water covering over the mic makes anyone on the phone sound muffled
Now I took all my water coverings off so it was pretty much a metal otterbox with no waterproof seals and I loved it. Some people didnt like how heavy it was, but it was not a big deal for me.

Great, thanks a lot for your reply. I buy it as fast as possible !
Well whenever I saw the TakTik case for the iPhone I was VERY tempted to jump over the chasm just for that beautiful beast of a case! I've always looked for a case that would mimic the TakTik. If anyone can post a picture or two of it, and also if anyone finds a link for a low price for one, I'm sure all of us will appreciate it!

I got one on my phone everything is functional. Yes s-pen is in there but on exposed there is a mod to hid all items in the top left of the status bar so this way you can leave your s-pen a quarter of the way out and you will be able to pull it out with your finger nail other then that it's great. I had to buy a case with a holster for the 6.3 mega to use it with a holster. I heated up the side of the holster with a heat gun bent them out and now it's no longer a brick in my pocket. Down side it's heave now with the case one hit and you can knock someone out cold with it and still make a phone call when done. Lol I haven't tried. If you guys want pics I'll be happy to post some.

Pretty responsive. It was made of a real glass not sure is it a true corning gorilla glass or just a normal glass for the case screen protector. I'd say worth the money bro. Should get it. Im sorry no picture as i didnt have a phone or xtra phone to take a picture of it

Is there any sort of TPU on any of their protection levels to help absorb shock/impact in case of a fall?
Thanks for all the responses! I ordered one from the link I posted earlier. When I receive it I will make a video for you all, probably won't be anything special but it I'm sure will help out your decision making process. I absolutely can not wait!

I had ordered a week ago the same case and I hope it will be here in a week out two but now I thought how this case glass will be on my phone since I got mime ghost on it, really haven't thought it, you think I can put above the case glass? Or I need to take out the mime?

It's a little on the expensive side, but I'm curious about a couple of things if anyone has ever used it:
1) They say that it's metal + tempered glass, so does it impede signal at all?
2) It looks thicker than the original back cover, so I wonder if it can accommodate a slightly thicker battery; even if I have to shave the inside of the case a bit.
The back is like the iPhone, glass. I can't say about reception I have not used any aluminum cover/bumper.

The back looks really cool, but other metal battery covers have been known to impede reception. I too would like to know if this does or not.
I've been wondering the same about this back
I ordered one on the 10th and it should be here in the next day or 2 according to tracking I'll report when it gets hete

Cool !! but the problem is that it won't protect your device and I don't think you can find any cases to put on this one ...

If it should be a match with your suit and tie , then I think it's the perfect solution
Yeah I don't put cases on my phones, so that's a non-issue. Just looking at nice back cover that might fit a larger battery with a bit of... persuasion (read: sandpaper).
Also, @chrisleon11590, go take your shameless plugs somewhere else.

We the case arrived today and IMHO the quality is great and it adds the high end feel and look that I was looking for and does not affect the signal one bit. Now the cons are it does add some thickness to the phone. it basically levels out with the camera lens but slightly higher so it does not scratch. and second it you have fat fingers with no nails the s pen may bug you taking it out of phone. Ill post pics in am I left my s3 at work
Anywhere else sell them? Guy on eBay link is away until February tenth?

Pics too please, interested to see what this thing looks like from a real user. Also I noticed it seems like plastic inside and material outside. Is it actually glass?

majority of the sellers selling these are from china or hong kong, during these 2-3 weeks, it's chinese new year, and it's hard to find a seller from the us or uk selling these, these product are too new, may be after a few months or so you may find a non chinese seller.

it's plastic inside so it can clip onto the phone.
There are about 7-8 colours available.
Yes mine came from China ordered on 10th got here on 23rd

As you can see one corner is slightly lifted and yes the inside is plastic but the out is the glass like the nexus
