Broken Glass - HTC One X+

Well I dropped my phone 2 feet out the car door and the glass smashed. Ugh! Seems that the phone is pretty new so the only option I can find to get it fixed is to send it back to HTC.
Anyone got any other suggestions? Links? Cause I'm coming up dry and getting it done is $$$.

Either you can repair yourself, send it into HTC to get it repaired or you can send it to a phone repair place.

True.
HTC wants Min $199 and 4 - 6 weeks to repair the glass.
I can't seem to find the parts or a DIY article for the phone.
So far no luck talking to Phone Repair. They don't have the parts. Going to keep looking but if you know of a place or two please let me know.

In theory wouldn't the glass panel from an HTC One X (original) work? They are the exact same size and form factor. Don't know about the LCD (same specs but not sure about connectors inside) but the glass panel should work.

That would be good news for me but I have not found that to be true or false yet.

Pretty sure there was another thread that confirm this the displays are identical as long as the connectors are the same it should work I don't see why not

ok. that is GREAT! HAPPY news. I was not interested in pay $199 bucks for new glass :/

I recently broke mine as well. Since my LCD seems fine should i just replace the touchscreen glass digitizer?

Yep

It's much cheaper just getting the digitizer

Agreed. I so don't want to DIY this one.

Most sites come with an instruction video

Is there any specific LCD I should get? I see some on eBay for cheap but they are unbranded. Are they the same quality?

I would go with an actual repair site. Better quality. Plus you can contact them if you run into any trouble

I know from the one xl forums it's super hard to seperate the LCD and digitizer..a lot of people over there ended up buying both together...

Cracked screen.

Alright so I dropped my phone and cracked the digitizer. Now I'm sad. Luckily I have experience replacing the parts so it's not a big issue... However, I am having trouble finding a one x+ replacement digitizer. From what I understand, the OG One X and the plus are essentially the same device with a few minor changes to the internals. So my question is can I use a One X digitizer or will the be incompatible. Also I read that the International one x and att one x have slightly different dimensions. So for my at&t one x+, would I need an att one x screen or international one x screen. Thanks in advance for the help guys.

Yes that's what I would do it even has that slight curved glass so most likely it is the same. Good luck

i would recommend you sending your phone to htc and just pay for the damages. Those screens out there are not genuine you wont get that bond the digitizer and the screen has with the genuine and its gonna look pretty bad. You may not be successful replacing the digitizer because you may rip the screen off during the process.
I agree you mite get lucky and it could be a factory defect

[Q] HOX+ INTL Housing on AT&T HOX+

I am looking at getting new housing and a new front screen for my AT&T HOX+ because I like the HOX+ international housing and front screen much, much better. Before I buy, just wanted to make sure that the housing and front screen from the international version will fit the AT&T version as well? Thanks in advance.

No, the Intl housing lacks the LTE antenna
As for the screen, I don't know

Changing housing on HTC One

Hi everyone, I bought a complete black housing for the htc one but I cant find a guide to do it, the one from ifixit is not that great.

From the iFixIt teardown: "We won't lie, getting to this point was an arduous and daunting task. The amount of work required to separate the rear aluminum case and the front case was immense."
You sure you want to do this?

Where the heck did you buy a housing for this device?

Good luck with that. Let us know how it goes.

I have a feeling you bought some thing that's not for this device. I doubt anybody sells that. Unless some one damaged and took apart their device and are selling it as parts.
Sent from my HTC myTouch 4g using xda premium
I saw the housing for sale a few days ago too, I don't remember what site it was though so I guess it's not a lot of help. But they are for sale and from what I remember it wasn't very expensive.
Here's one. Would be pretty crazy trying to do it though

Buddy let me save you the trouble. Do not attempt to take this phone apart. I got some scratches on my phone and lets just say if it takes HTC a while to do the repair then don't bother.

I got curious about this housing. I'm not sure if anybody actually read the description. It says Material: Plastic.
I work in a cellphone repair shop and I have come across a phone similarly built to the HTC One, the 8x. DO NOT ATTEMPT.. That being said, from the ifixit tear down it seems utterly impossible to do any "fun hardware mods" like a housing change. This phone has no way to open it other than to open it from the display assembly, and its glued down. The Galaxy Nexus is clamped together by its plastic outer housing and bolted together by the screws inside the housing, which is relatively easy to replace and swap out. This is not the case on most new HTC phones. DO NOT TRY IT!

This is what I was about to mention, that this is probably for the China version of the ONE. The one that has dual sim, sd slot with removable back.

Yea I didn't really pay attention to the one I found I guess, that is the back to the Chinese version. The one posted above me though is for the original one.

So how on earth can we get our batteries replaced in a year or two when we need to, but still want to keep the phone?

Factory replacement.
I dont think this is a good idea.
OP: If you decide to try this, can you make a youtube video for us?
I still do not recommend you do this, you will end up with a broken LCD assembly..

We're gonna try and make a video for this phone soon. Just waiting for one to arrive I'm told.

That would be great I bought it thinking it was going to be easy.

[Q] Speck in Speaker

I thought I saw a thread about this but I can't find it Anywho, my phone has a speck in the speaker and it won't come out. Just one hole in the top that looks white. Contrasts with my black HTC One. Womp. Is there any way to prevent more?
Vacuum that sucker out

I've got the same thing going on. I tried duster and a safety pin. next step us to try a commercial grade vacuum. My wife has a silver one and you can't see anything through her holes. It's much more prevalent in the black .
