I have my 3d in a billion pieces in a zip lok right now. I purchase da month and a half ago a screen off Ebay, but it never showed up. I need to get a screen ASAP for my phone. Ive been without a functional phone now for almost 2 months and ive had to revert to my Captivate.
I need to know the best place to get a screen assembly, i don't really care what it costs anymore, (around 60 shipped would be nice) but i need my damn phone back.
Anyone have some suggestions where to go outside of Ebay, that's based out of either USA or Canada (canada prefered to avoid customs fees)
Thanks,
Dan
Have you asked the repair tech at a Sprint store to do it? They're in to make money as well. From me traveling across the country, I've had mine repaired anywhere between 20-60 dollars. Might get lucky.

We don't have a sprint carrier here in canada. Otherwise that would be the first place to do it. From what i can see, the LCD and the digitizer is about 60$ on its own, so i can see the whole unit replaced in stores for about 120-200$. Its an easy enough task i thought i would just do it myself. but after not receiving the parts in the mail after a month, im really getting impatient.
Did you ever get this fixed? Amazon.com has digitizers - is that what you need?

Has anyone noticed if you search for evo 3d front housing lcd digitizer or somewhere along those lines on ebay...the price for them are around 243?!?! I remember about two weeks ago they weren't this pricey!! Might as well get another phone...

Something unfortunate happened this morning and my phone just slipped from the pocket of my jacket to the street and a car has passed over it two seconds after that just in front of my eyes.
I felt like the car passed over me instead! Luckily though, the phone was upside down and was not brutally damaged; only some bruises on the screen and the housing.
Although the LCD and the phone still works 80%, of course it is not usable under normal conditions. It misses a lot of touches. I am attaching two pictures of the phone that I took by my old TYTN II.
Now therefore I need housing and LCD screen. Although I have seen some housings on ebay; I could not find any screen.
Any ideas of whereabout?
Regards,
For a new screen, you have to get it repaired. You can't do it yourself...
Unless you are really good with eletronics. But the screens aren't available on the market.
I live in Turkey and bought the device from UK via a friend, who brought it here. I will be very hard again to send it UK and give it to customer service and get back to Turkey. I am not talking about shipping but very much worried about customs behavior in Turkey. It's a high possibility that they will treat the device as a "new" after repair and ask for very high custom tax.
Anyway, I have replaced housing and lcd screen before of my TYTN II with various parts I have bought from Ebay. Of course I do not do it myself; instead I give the device to a local mobile phone repair shop in Ankara; the people there are highly experienced in changing parts of all kinds of mobile phones; so it won't be a big problem for me if I can get a new screen somehow
Thanks for advice though.
Hi all,
After a long e-mail traffic via many ebay sellers I think I found what I am looking for; a seller has given me this address: http://www.shope2.com/Product.php?product_id=51490
Can anyone just check that if this is the correct part?
Regards.
I think I weep'd a little when I seen your pics. Sorry to see that happen to you. I think I would have cried like a baby if that were to happen to my Touch Pro2.
Good luck with it. Hope everything works out for you.
I have no choice but to
cry.
thats the reason now i got insurance on my phone :
6 euros / month against break, thief, oxydation etc...
Good thing is, when the TP2 wont be sold anymore, i can just "break" mine , and get the new version (TP3 ? or TP2-like) at no cost
Its an investment, but on the long time, its the best choice with those very expensive phones.

that is almost as painful as getting hit in the groin..
Yes it has a valid warranty in UK; I did not want to void it and I have contacted customer support. They requested me to hand over the phone to "HTC Europe Co. Ltd. Communication House, Presley Way, Crownhill, Milton Keynes, MK80ES" and I gave it to a friend who lives in London; I'll see how much they will charge it for me; until then I am still using my old friend TYTN II
Regards,
OUCH! My heart feels sore for you my friend. Surely there must a registered HTC store in your country that you can get the screen replaced at?
I wouldn't want to try and replace it yourself or going to anyone who isn't a registered technician
You're phone actually survived getting run over by a car??
That's crazy!
I could imagine my Kaiser surviving that, but then you could knock someone out with that! I thought the TP2 wasn't any where near as well built a device.
Really sorry it's happened though, that sucks Hope you get it sorted for a reasonable price!

Unfortunately, i dont know about insurance in the US...
In France at least, most Telecom companies offer insurance as an option.
Well, lastweek i dropped my phone and the glass screen was broken, i have to spend 90USD for repair service.
i'm from Singapore
there are deep scratches on my screen (LCD is working) and i was quoted SGD$40+ for replacing the glass screen
USD$1 = SGD$1.44

How broke is it? If its just unresponsive then take it to the shop and they will send it away. If its smashed then your insurance will cover it. How do they know when it happened?
My touch screen went and I took it to Vodafone who in turn sent it to HTC and they couldn't fix it so they sent me a new phone. You are on a contract and you pay insurance. They have to help you. It's in your contract.
well the phone works and i can see everything on the screen but i cant do anything cuz touch doesnt work. my contract is with t-mobile and i went to the shop today and they said it might cost me around £120. my insurance company already rejected the claim cuz apparently they state in their terms and conditions that i had to report it within 24hours.
i wish if there is a shop where i can give them the touch screen and they can fit it for me

How long have you had the phone? Mine was a year old when I took it in. Go to another t mobile store give it to them, tell them you don't know what's wrong with it. They will take it off you and send it away. Or ring them and explain. They won't want to loose a valued customer.

You didn't say the screen was cracked. Surely the insurance should cover accidental damage. If it doesn't what's the point of it. I've had my Hd2 for 14 months now and still love it. Cancel the insurance and put the money towards getting the beautiful machine fixed. Don't do it yourself because I've known people who know more than me and you to fook it badly. Good luck. Ps.

Have you considered calling your insurance and (while praying that you don't get put on to the same person you had last time) saying that you cracked the screen an hour ago? This 24 hour rule seems ridiculous.
But yeah, only replace digitizers if you feel confident that you know what you're doing. I've done it for about 6 different phones and iPods, and I'd say that for 3 of those I've ended up having to buy more parts I wasn't expecting to pay for just because I made a tiny mistake.

I've stopped with these things recently because I've been so busy, and I hate working on things that aren't my own in case I break something. I was considering buying a cracked HD2 and fixing it up for myself a while ago but the soldering put me off, it's all just a bit too fiddly.

I agree unless you want the learning experience. Personally I just want mine to work, so I took mine in too. I've heard digitizers on the 3d are harder than other phones. In fact, they actually replaced my whole screen when my digitizer was broken.
I am in Turkey and in Turkey HTC hasnt a proper service network
i have to fix it on my own
so i wonder whether those digitizers are ok or not

About 10 days ago I broke the LCD of my new HTC One. Because I traded my Xperia ZL for this One - I cancelled the insurance policy I've been carrying on my AT&T account for the past 4 years (and NEVER used it, mind you). What was odd was that the LCD didn't even break immediately upon impact. I dropped it on a ceramic tile floor (it had an Incipio Feather case on it - which did nothing but prevent scratching) and it appeared to sustain no damage. So, after picking it up I placed it on to a stone counter top where it proceeded to spiderweb and crack right before my very eyes. I was in shock. (this video is WHY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwE9PGDnlvs) Anyways, moving right along - I called AT&T and tried to add insurance back to my account (not telling them I just broke my phone of course) but AT&T obviously refused to since I didn't buy the phone from them. On the same note, I'm sure, had I not cancelled the insurance, it wouldn't have been covered due to the same reason - but that's neither here nor there at this point.
So, I contacted HTC. I told them I dropped the device and the LCD was cracked. I asked for a quote to repair it. The gentlemen advised me 'up to $180.00". Honestly, I was surprised it wasn't more expensive. I asked if I send it in to them and they quote me a higher price than I want to pay - what happens? He advised me they would just send it back not repaired (I've NEVER broken a phone before so I'm not familiar with this process). I sent the One in to HTC (actually, most likely to an authorized repair center: CTS-PCS) in Houston, TX via USPS Priority Mail with insurance on 6/4. They received it 6/6. And today they contacted me with a quote of exactly $180.00. So I paid it and now I'm waiting for them to complete the repairs and send it back. I figured paying $180 to fix it was smarter than selling it for however much I could get for it and risk losing hundreds of dollars in the process. Also, the fact that iFixit scored it a 1 out of 10 on ease of repair also did not give me much hope in finding someone other than HTC (that I even trusted) to disassemble my device and repair properly.
Anyways, the point is to GET THIS INFORMATION OUT THERE. I came to XDA (yes, I realize this is a developer site... but it was my first instinct) in search of others who may have had similar experiences and couldn't really find anything definitive. I certainly couldn't find an actual dollar amount quoted by HTC to fix the LCD alone. I'm sure I won't be/haven't been the ONLY one to break the LCD. Maybe, going forward this thread could also serve as a place to post ANY type of repair experiences with HTC (or anyone else that CAN fix it)?
*Once I get my One back I will post again to let people gauge exactly how long the repair process took from start to finish.
Phone insurance is generally a waste of money. Even with the insurance you'd still have to pay the $199 deductible, which is more than the cost of the repair outright.
I'd rather put the $7/month in the bank and after the 2 yr contract there's enough to pay the subsided price on a new handset.

Costco warranty. $100 up front, $25 replacements for brand new phones upon damages up for 4 times.
So you're paying $4 a month and a $24 deductible.
OP paid $180 to repair his phone.
Warranty is also transferable and I believe can be cancelled to get your money prorated back.
The only thing it does not cover is theft. And if you live in the shady parts of Southern California, you better be extra careful with your devices.

Good point cschmitt and even if you do pay the $199 deductible to replace it they usually give you a refurbished device. (other than the cracked LCD my One is in MINT condition) And Slim, makes me wish I had bought mine at Costco. Oh well. You live and learn.

Good question, I will call them and find out and report back.
EDIT: Ok, here's what I found out. You can't buy the insurance through Costco unless you buy the phone from them. The sales rep did advise me about Square Trade - its $129 he said... but when I checked out their site I found you have to either buy it from a retailer or via eBay. (via retailer the cost is a flat fee of $125 or $6.99 per month for a 2 year plan) Someone like me (who got my phone locally via trade with an individual) is NOT eligible for Square Trade. Good info to know.

But Costco has a deal with Square Trade for the $25 deductible. And I believe you get device replacements from Costco on the spot. The deal is different from teh Costco website.
Purchase your phones at Costco, there are nothing but pros and no cons I can think of.
So, it turns out the repair center didn't have the parts to fix my One so they were holding it for the materials. Today, I finally got an email that it's done and will be shipping out shortly. I must say, this whole process wasn't TOO excruciating. Thank God I keep a back up phone! So, I would imagine if they had had the parts on hand it probably would have been fixed and sent back out last week. I'm finally glad this whole thing is almost over.
It took a little while but the FedEx tracking number that HTC provided is now active and my device should be back to me by Tuesday. I just hope and pray nothing goes wrong in transit. I will post again when I have it. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the speed at which this repair was processed and completed. Someone else said theirs took about 10 days & I'm assuming they didn't have to wait for the parts to come in like I did.
Good informational thread. Thanks.

Well if something like this happened to me I would have just called and added the insurance back on it and then wait a couple weeks (maybe 2-6) and then just say my phone got stolen/lost, pay the deductible and get a new one. Either send the broken one to HTC to fix or sell kit broken

Hi, please update us on how your repair was. I just sent my HTC One due to yellow spot on the corner and dead pixels. Worried about how well they handle the phones. I just wanna know how is your new screen and is there any new damage to the phone? Scratches? Thanks.

I tried that bro. Because I didn't buy it from AT&T they wouldn't let me add the insurance back. Hello, that was the first thing I thought to do!!!!! ( I did say that in the OP) LOL
Also, the deductible to replace it is $200. To fix it was $180. Ultimately I would have rather paid the $200 and not have to wait for the repair but $180 is still cheaper.

I am supposed to get my One tomorrow so will certainly report back with the results. Other than the damaged display the body was MINT so I too am concerned with any scratches, etc on the body. Will, post again when I have it.

Got my One back today. It's MINT! The display is PERFECT and the body is unscathed. My dumbass forgot to take out my SIM tray and when I got it back it HAS NO SIM TRAY. I called a couple AT&T stores... none have one. One of the AT&T reps gave me the # for the local AT&T warranty repair shop so I called them but they don't have one either. HTC is sending me replacement SIM tray FREE but via UPS ground. So I ordered one off eBay. Hopefully I have it by Thursday or Friday.
EDIT: I asked HTC if I could PAY to expedite the shipping of the SIM tray and they said 'no'. They would only send it via UPS ground (for no fee). Word to the wise: Learn from my error and REMOVE YOUR SIM TRAY if you're sending your device in for repair. HTC will remove it and NOT replace it prior to sending it back to you.

Smart move. I am SO completely moronic. I don't know how I didn't get that out of this following paragraph that was included in the initial repair email from HTC:
Remember to remove any accessories from the phone - such as the battery, SIM card, storage card, SIM cover and/or battery cover (Note: some of these parts cannot be removed from all devices - please check our support site if you are uncertain). Please also backup any important information you will want to keep before shipping your phone.
LOL, SMH
Anyone have a source I can order a replacement screen from? I had Sprint replace the screen on my Evo 4G a couple of years ago and the cost was $35 total for a new screen & bezel. I went in to the same Sprint store and they said they no longer do it. Likewise I'm having a hard time finding replacement parts so that I can do it myself. In a previous life I was a Nokia repair tech so I'm pretty good with these things but I need parts. I'm seeing that some places sell a digitizer but I need the front glass. I may also need the next layers too as I've got some colorful spots near the bottom corners where it landed and cracked from. I saw someone selling something but it said specifically not for the Sprint version of the phone. Anyone know where I could get these parts preferably with a new bezel?
We were supposed to have 1yr contracts on our business account and since they took those away we're having to wait longer for upgrades and this is the result. If our account was the way it was for years prior we'd just go in and pay to upgrade our phones. I'm going to seriously reconsider staying with Sprint once our contracts are up this time around since this is no longer a selling point compared to their competition.
Thanks for the help! :good:
Looks like I found it for $69.99 here. Any cheaper anywhere? Any reason this one won't work on my Sprint LTEvo? Thanks!
Also, I just found this site which seems to sell the same part for about $10ish less. They also sell the housing for about $30 which I also need to replace since mine is fairly beat up. I noticed that they sell this one without a light guide for about $60 and then they sell this one which has a light guide for about the same price but it's B-stock. My question is what the heck is a light guide and do I need one? Is it something I need to remove from the old one that could potentially get destroyed when removing it to re-use or something? Please get back to me quickly so that I can get my order on the way so I can fix my phone before it breaks worser.
Thanks!

Yeah, I've seen that thread but it doesn't really address the questions that I have here,
