Looks like I'm the first to post about this in the HOX+ section
Had the phone face down after having recently rejected a call, my dad and I heard a tiny sound but didn't think much of it. Later when I picked it up I was in utter shock to find the screen had cracked. The phone is only 1 month or so old and HAS NEVER EVER been dropped.
I gave AT&T a call knowing I'd get no where...and yes, I got no where. So I called HTC and they were super nice. However, they pretty much told me that while screen defects are possible, it's next to never that it's ruled as such by the technician. I sent it in anyway to see what happens.
I really don't have any other options at the moment to getting it repaired as I could not find a single place that sells HOX+ parts. Some have reported HOX parts being cross compatible, but I'm not going to take the phone apart (and risk damaging it) on a "maybe".
In sum, I'm heartbroken and pissed.
And to rub salt into the wound, I'm having to use my wife's old iPhone 3GS in the meantime :crying:
always sad to hear about the death of a beloved phone :crying: Good luck and please keep us informed.
I'm more sorry to hear that u have to use a sorry a** iPhone for the time being

I'd cry if I had to use an iPhone. Sorry to hear about your phone. I think the one x and + both share the same dimensions so maybe a one x screen will work but the leds will be white not 100% about compatibility so maybe check with HTC
These phones are actually really easy to tear apart! Don't be scared
Best of luck getting your baby working

I would hope that a technician could tell the difference between a defect and impact damage. If it were dropped, there would be some kind of impact mark somwhere, especially considering how hard Gorilla Glass 2 is supposed to be to break. Fingers crossed for you.
Don't feel bad. I just sent mine back to HTC as well. All layers of the screen destroyed but surprisingly the phone still worked so I'm looking at a new digitizer and lcd. I miss her

Thanks guys. Still ticked to no end, and the iPhone 3GS certainly doesn't help. Should have never sold all my ex-Android phones (urgh).
Still no word from HTC. I'm basically torn between forking over $200+ for the repairs if they're not going to repair it under warranty and just selling it as is on eBay. I figure I can get $300, then use the money toward a Nexus 4. It's going to kill me not having LTE, 64GB storage, sharp screen, nor the sexiness that is the HOX+, but I can't spend $200 after just recently spending $250 to buy it. I don't know. Confused

They quoted me at 120 shipped to replace the lcd and digitizer. Your repairs should be much cheaper if all they are replacing is the digitizer.

Yeah, that's like taking your Mercedes in for service and having them give you a Yugo as a loaner.
Well that's definitely encouraging. I can certainly handle that I read elsewhere it was >$200, but I'll take $120 to get my baby back.

Tell me about it. Aside from the fact I want to bash it against the wall because I can't do half the things I'm used to (I miss Swype SORELY, among everything else), subconsciously I find myself concealing it cause I feel embarrassed for using it.

HTC/Futuretel in Canada quoted me $430 for screen + digitizer. I smashed it a few weeks ago, you can find my thread in the q&a section.
I found a company in Vancouver that will do it for $135 so we'll see how that repair goes.
Good luck to you too.
Sorry to hear about yours as well, hope you get it back all sorted. $400 is a lot just for a screen repair,

My status changed to "In Repair" today. Not sure if that means they're going ahead and repairing it under warranty or that they're looking at and will contact me soon with estimate. Wait and see I guess. Keeping my fingers crossed.
It does not mean that. Mine said the same thing the first day and it was explained to me that it means they are taking it apart to diagnosis the extent of condition. My final cost was 200. They claimed they needed to replace the casing as well... I didn't argue it and paid up. You can dispute the charges though.

You're absolutely right. An hour later they sent me a quote with the same thing, $200 for the screen and casing. I called them up and asked as to why the casing needed replacing when only the screen was cracked. They escalated it and someone is going to contact me back. I don't have a problem paying to replace the screen (which I hoped to be around $120), but why should I pay an extra $80 for a casing that was in pristine condition.

Just got off the phone with HTC again. They said the 200 does not include the case. That is being thrown in because they probably damaged it when removing the internals. 200 only includes replacing the screen.

After reading your post I just said fuuuuuuuunk it and just went online and approved the repairs and paid for them. I have zero hope that any good is gonna come out of this and I don't want to wait another week (was told up to 10 days) for them to review my case only to come back and tell me they won't cover them. Thought about putting the $200 toward a Nexus 4 (or whatever I got from the selling the HOX+ as is), but I really love my HOX+, even if I miss the Nexus experience.

Am sorry to hear about your screen. Don't wanna go off topic but stick to the HOX+. I have the nexus 4 as well and it's a good phone and all but the camera and audio experience is awful. If you use your phone with a headset from time to time or take pics the Nexus 4 is ridiculous, I mean really bad.
Thanks for reassuring me I made the right decision then. Good to know about the camera and audio quality.

Got my phone back yesterday from HTC and was surprised to find out that they actually sent me a brand new one instead of repairing my original one. This actually makes me feel a whole lot better about dropping $200.
I'll give :good: for HTC for their quick turnaround and the nice packaging the phone came in.
All in all, I'm just glad to have my [new] HOX+ back.

As the title says. My cousin dropped my beloved Prime on the kitchen titles because she hadn't docked it properly. The tablet dropped out of the dock, but the keyboard is fine.
It has two massive dents in the top corners, because that's how it landed: on one corner (the top-right corner) and then 'bounced' onto the top-left.
How do I get this repaired? I really hate my expensive electrical products from being damaged, so I need it repaired ASAP - I ideally need it for college next week, but I know it won't be back by then.
Do I simply phone up ASUS UK and ask them how much it would cost to repair it, then send it away and give them however much they want? Or is there a different procedure?
Thanks guys,
Phil
Best of luck with that, but as all of the main electronics are assembled on the case back, you are talking about an almost total disassembly and reassembly plus a new back. That will be hideously expensive. Based on what camera companies charge for similar work, I would expect between £100 and £200.

That's why I've started this thread - I want to see if I can get it any cheaper.
ouch... Hopefully you have insurance on it? If so, then it won't be so bad hopefully, but if not it will be really expensive, likely more than it is worth. Does the tablet still work? If so, you might want to think of selling it for 200 or 300 if your lucky, and just buying a new tablet. I guess it just depends on the cost, but whatever it may be it won't be pretty. Sorry, best of luck to ya.

When it's customer induced damage, you have to pay for the shipping cost, the parts, and the hourly wage for the guys who preform the repair. This would probably require a complete dissassembly, and I bet 2-300€ wouldn't be overdoing it. Sadly...
Your probably better off selling it off at a loss and buying a new one if the dents bother you.
*EDIT: This^^^^
Wow, you guys are estimating pretty low there.
Considering they want $400 just to replace the screen on a $499 tablet, surely actually disassembling it and replacing the backplate would come out being more expensive than just buying a new tablet.
Really you're just SOL. I don't think it will be any time soon that your average repair shop (if at all) will be able to get the parts and do it at a reasonable price.
Either sell it at a discount to someone who doesn't care as much as you do or just toss it aside as entertainment for people/kids; use the same amount of money you would fixing it just getting a new one.
My beloved prime after it was catapulted by my 10 month baby across the room (yeah, she's that strong, we call her Yetti behind her back).
Surprisingly enough, the bad mammajamma is still fully functioning (minus the fact that swiping your finger across those cracks will draw blood, the darn thing is razor-sharp).
Think I can RMA? (The prime, not Yetti)
I tried to nandroid-restore it, but it's still cracked, I'll write a *****en email to the dev with a feature request, "Please make option to restore broken screen or else I'll give you 1 star".
oh, and it made my GPS super-awesome now! I can see 4000+ sats now, some of them I can pick right through earth when they are right below me.
Yeah, no, it's a bummer, I wanted to lock my self in the bathroom and weep like a 6 years old girl who's Pony got hit by a truck.
I'm picking donation for a new TF700, tax exempt.

@op ...
You could always ebay your Yetti ... i often think about the same.
That just hurts me from looking at it. If you can't scrap it for parts do you think a screen protector would prevent your fingers from getting cuts? If your into programing you can turn it into a test tablet for running and tinkering roms/apps.
Sorry man.
So... after using the Amaze for some months... I basically drop it, broke the edge of the screen (usable, just a bit annoying seeing a line at the right edge on the search button), and accompanied with some small problems. Although as you guys can see on the picture, the crack is not that bad; but kind of unpleasant. Since I love trying new phone, I am thinking of trying another phone if there is an option while getting rid of the annoyance.
Long story short, I am thinking of selling the phone and get another phone to play with... But, here's the catch... I don't want to spend too much just for playing with new phone (so no s3 or one x/s for me) and it needs to work on t mobile 4g.... I can't really think of any phone other than Amaze that fall that have a beast spec like 1.5ghz dual core, 1gb ram, and fantastic camera and still within the 200-300 range (even s2 in my area's craigslist is still about 300+)... I'm just trying to see if there is anything on par with amaze in terms of spec vs price.... If I got no other option, I might sell my amaze and get another amaze... But, who knows someone here have an idea...
Lastly,... What price do you guys suggest to sell this phone on craigslist with a not perfect screen (assuming I can throw an extra battery and back cover)? Most listing in my area range from 250-320....
Well my amaze is pristine like I just pulled it out of the box and people don't even want to pay $270....
So om thinking since yours has a crack it will go for a lot less
Sent from my epic amaze 4g
The next best thing to the Amaze (besides the one s) would be the Sensation. Specs are not as good (but close) as the Amaze but it should be with in your budget on Craig's list. And there is a lot of support for the Sensation.

I also think that way... I am thinking of selling it around 200-220 range because it's still usable and if you replace the screen, it will cost about $50 for the screen.... Plus, the price around my area still goes for 270-320. Do you think that's reasonable?

Ya... I actually just re-check on ebay and the screen digitizer cost only 26 bucks... So, if that person is diligent enough to change it, that will be a damn good deal (for you $100 case)...

I work at an electronics repair shop and I will say, some android phones are a total ***** to replace the digitizer on. You will see most phones get a digitizer/LCD combo because it is so much harder to do just the digitizer.. but if you think you can do it, that small a price for a digitizer will increase the value much more than trying to tell THEM to do it.
If you like your amaze and you're willing to keep it.. most repair shops should be willing to do it for between 30-50 if you provide the part - don't break it again and you can sell it for more money later anyways when a phone WORTH upgrading to had finally come out. Otherwise you wanting good hardware specs and good picture quality makes me say you should just fix it. But that's just my 2¢.

OK guys.. Im about to suck it up and ordering a RIFF box (They're about 150-200 on ebay).
Wondering, IF I do... and I JTAG my DNA, would anyone else be interested in having me do it for them? I'd be looking at trying to get about $30 per phone, and the owner of the phone covers shipping to and from me (First class would be about $3 each way) and I could offer in person JTAGs. (I'm located in Reading, PA).
Let me know... (It's looking like I could have it in under 14 days (all orders come from China)
(I ask here because I did sort of the same thing when the XTC was floating around for some of the older HTC phones and it paid for itself in about 3 months)...

So glad you asked... Already done..
I will post pics tomorrow... when im sober and with a camera.
Met a gentleman in Philly this evening who had a riff box and some experience JTagging phones (Never did a DNA before.. but, then again, Neither did I).
That being said... Tomorrow, I will post "the secrets to Jtagging and unlocking a DNA (We actually didnt succeed in S-Offing my DNA, but we DID unlock the bootloader, and install CWM)
...The biggest thing I got from it all was flashing the SuperCID as 22222222... Then unlocking via HTC Dev (Full details will be supplied when im less... well, horizontal (Mostly, just a full run down of what we did to get to this point... not sure what parts were redundant or unneeded...)...
\
BUT!!! The phone can, to some degree, be fully rooted after 2.04 by a "general" novice... with some phone disassembly skills and soldering skills (And a $200 Riff box)...

I HAVE an unlocked DNA.. I TOOK the risk of learning how to do this procedure AND POSTED HOW TO DO IT... So, anyone who wants to do it themselves has all the knowledge to get where I did...
As for my "resume"... I wasnt offering one.
And I dont feel the need to prove my abilities when I am simply offering help to those around (and, Ive stated that I would post pics...)...
Only "damage" is on the top... and that's pretty much just because it's not completely snapped back together (Not pushing my luck to snap it all tight as I have to disassemble again and let a little slack out of one of the screws)... The only other cosmetic flaw is the red aluminum sticker above the volume button got knocked off (I need to 3M it back on)
Mind you, this was the fist HTC phone ive ever disassembled... (By deduction, also the first DNA) and it was the first time this phone was ever opened... (The knick on the top near the headphone jack is from me droping it... not from opening)...
Sorry about my finger in 2 of the pics... the camera wouldnt focus on the edge...

Ordered off of eBay (Sending from China). A company called gsm-forever.
(Ive ordered parts, gevey chips, and some glitch chips from them in the past... never had an issue)
Our rules are pretty clear about trying to sell things on this site (this includes services).

Thank you, and have a nice day
Dealing with AT&T has been a pain. The first three devices had a flaw or the other.
1. 1st device had scuffs and scratches and a fully sunken in volume rocker. I'd had to force my fingernail into the volume rocker housing to trigger a response.
2. 2nd one kept rebooting on itself and would show me an exclamation point.
3. 3rd one wouldnt charge past 95% and the speaker grill was raised and wasn't flush with the device.
If anyone has to exchange more than once AT&T will give you a hard time about it, but you reiterate to them and tell them clearly that the device was DOA out of box and/or defective.
This 4th one has been good so far. Crossing my fingers that this one is perfect. Once again I'm disappointed that HTC's device is a beauty, but the quality control has been atrocious. Wonder if it is a batch issue.

Pretty much +1
So that explains why my M8 is on back order lol just kidding!!! Hope you get one that doesn't have problems!
Benefit of the doubt: You're on the losing end of a statistical improbability
Caveat: If you are specifically looking for imperfections you will find them
Hope the next one fits your expectations, spending $650 definitely calls for that
ha just noticed the corners of the screen on mine aren't completely flush with the body. ordered my dev edition from htc.
no biggie in my mind. glad you got it sorted, op.
mine is flawless.
Picked up mine at local att store and it looks great
Mine is very good condition. No issues

My question is, how are people getting unflush speaker grills when there not a separate peice, unless there talking about the whole thing with the speaker holes not being flush.

My first m8 also had an unflush top speaker grill on the right side. It was literally too long to fit on the space provided, but my 2nd is flawless and I am enamored with it.

All three of them had pretty much unacceptable issues. Especially if its a serious hardware issue, the battery doesnt work, etc. If you're paying premium buck for something then you expect it to come out of the box looking and working like a premium device. Im talking strictly out of the box without user error or damage coming into play. I'm not the only one, look at the links i posted.

Yea the videos arent mine, two youtube techies that posted videos of their experience. No need to be a prick, you cared enough and took time to comment on my original post, so I was just responding to you. "Smfh"
Yeah I felt bad for you. 8 hours and not a single reply..
Besides I just said what everyone else was thinking when they read this terrible thread.
In can't wait to get my s5 so I can trade in for the m8. I messed up and jumped on s5 pre-order train not realizing biggest mistake off my life. Lol. Hope its clean. Good luck on your last replacement.

I should edit that to "my biggest tech mistake of my life" LOL. More meant to be of my modding xda ways. I love the phone, hate that they are locking them down. Dont want to wait for a work around. If the HTC was locked I would be stickign with this but now you can unlock the m8 easily I think I have to trade up. I will try both in the store also, if I hate the HTC I wont get it. But for some reason I think Im going to love that metal chassis.
