I want to buy a HTC one with a cracked screen, but i cant seem to find a digitzer or screen replacement for it on ebay?
could it be the same as the one x? because thats the one they have everywhere is the one x replacement, i donth think they are the same though are they?

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 not going to be able open it. Even pros can't open the H1 without breaking it.

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.

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?

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
my gosh! unfortunate.. I'll defend that with otterbox, before mine will be like that
You guys know that the lcd+touchscreen+glass are one unit right? There is no way you can replace them separately.
I work in a mobile repair center I know what I'm talking about.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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 bought mine with an Otterbox from Verizon.... and then dropped it off a 15 ft stand, no damage done except for a slight abrasion on the case [which is why I got the otterbox lol]
Although I hate how bulky the phone is with it on

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 guess I got a digital angel over my shoulder lol.

So they replaced your phone even though the screen was cracked? How did you go about getting them to do that, or did you pay for some replacement plan or repair service..

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.

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?

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!

What are you buying from Amazon? Everyone is saying it is nearly impossilbe to replace the digitizer alone. Do you have any experience with this? Is it possible to replace the whole screen instead?
How much are they quoting at service centre for replacement
