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

Hi,
I live in Denmark, and i am trying to get a hold of a 32gb Nexus 10. I am considering ordering it from the US staples.com and having a friend bring it from the US. My only concern is the warranty, ie. where would i have to send it if there is something wrong with it? its not a problem sending it to a place in the EU, but it would be problematic (ie expensive as hell) to get it back to the US.
I have tried ordering it in the UK, but the play store does not like my danish credit card, and besides the 32gb one is sold out currently.
Sv: International warranty if bought from staples?
Handtec.Co.uk sell it and they Ship to Denmark

From Malmö you might get bit cheeper (4995,- sek) than UK but naturally doesn't beat US with 'hand bag' shipping :victory:
Malmö distributor handled warranty issue but took 1,5 months, Swedish law covers the warranty returning fees also but UK doesn't.
Mine were 2 out of 2 faulty ones so your friend better check units in the store.

Hmm, €542 (Handtec.Co.uk) is pretty expensive compared to the ~€449 in the UK play store (+shipping, but still). The US price is €370 + taxes.

There are certainly advantages to buying it in the EU, but now a days international warranty is quite common, hence my question. I don't have many options for buying it in the EU without paying alot more than the UK Google Play price due to the issue with using an international credit card.
I also have to keep in mind that i could easily get an iPad (which has international warranty as far as i have been able to tell) brought back from the US instead for $599 ~ €444. I am not about to pay more for the Nexus 10 than for an iPad

The other one kept low buzzing noise which effected to the microphone very badly. The other one had light bleeding, not very bad though - hopefully the new one isn't worse The new ones are still in the mail, old ones I returned 2nd Jan :crying:
Malmö units came with the US power adapters & conversion plugs

I am not sure backlight bleed would bother me much, i am mostly interested in a tablet as way of browsing and reading technical literature (books/papers) and comics I guess backlight bleeding is mostly a concern when watching movies which i would only do when on a flight etc.
Even if the backlight bleeding is annoying, i can probably sell it pretty easily here in denmark, I am more concerned about the buzzing you mentioned or it simply being broken. Perhaps i can get my friend to power it up before bringing it.
I am however still unclear on the international warranty. I am not even sure who has the warranty here? Is it Samsung, Google or only staples?
Im from Denmark too and have got a friend to pick one up in walmart for me. I'll get it within the next few days.
I've been looking at the warranty terms posted on the google play store:
Google Play store said:
Defects
During the warranty period described in the Device Specific Addendum, if the Device is or becomes defective through no fault of your own, please contact Google Play Support. Subject to the Device warranty, Google, in its sole discretion, may offer a replacement Device or may refer you to the applicable manufacturer of the Device for warranty support. If Google chooses to provide you with a replacement Device, you agree that Google may exchange the defective Device with either a new or refurbished Device. If you do not return the defective Device within 21 days from the date the replacement Device is delivered to you, you authorize Google to charge your Google Wallet account for the replacement Device, not to exceed the amount paid for the original Device. Nothing in this section affects your legal rights.
Nexus 10 Addendum
The following paragraphs only apply if you purchase a Nexus 10.
The Nexus 10 has built-in Wi-Fi. You are solely responsible for obtaining internet connectivity through an internet service provider as the Nexus 10 does not support mobile connectivity.
In order to use the Nexus 10, you understand that you will need your own 802.11a/b/g/n access point Wi-Fi router.
Battery life depends on device settings, usage, and many other factors. Battery tests are conducted using specific Nexus 10 units; actual results may vary. Actual formatted capacity of your device will be less than the memory listed.
The Nexus 10 is manufactured by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., whose principal place of business is at (Maetan dong) 129, Samsung-ro, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do 443-742, Korea ("Samsung").
Samsung provides a limited warranty for the Nexus 10. Please refer to the warranty card in the Nexus 10 package or Samsung for details on the Samsung limited warranty. This additional warranty does not affect your legal rights.

As I understand it if you get a defective unit google will replace it and samsung also provide a warranty for it if it should be needed.
So if google don't want to ship a replacement to Denmark then maybe samsung will

The question is whether the replacement can only occur in the same country as you bought it in. I am also not sure the warranty is the same when its not purchased at the google play store.
Just discovered this thread:

Sounds like there isn't any international warranty.
I have 4 bad pixel's on my HTC one I bought it brand new for retail off ebay. I see alot of these problem's going on and people geting worst phone's back so instead of playing the return and hope to get a good one game I have contacted HTC with the problem they are aware of the problem and will fix the phone for free ( you just pay shipping to them ) and promise and perfect display when it leave's so I will post back ( about 2 week's...) to see if they really did fix it right.

So I purchase a product from them that does not meet their own standards? Then I have to pay to ship it back to them, and then wait 2 weeks for the device I just purchased. Yikes!
Yeah that is not right...I argued the best they could do is pay shipping back..time's like this is when I wish I had Att so I could go right to the store...( have stright talk reason why I bought it online ) If I do send it back I will have no phone for 2 week's wish they would do what apple doe's and send a new phone first but they won't.

Had a dead pixel on my One I picked up yesterday and I went back in and exchanged it. I can live with the screen gap but I'll be damned if I have to stare at a dead pixel for 2 years. Once you know it's there, it's all you can think about.
I got a replacement yesterday. It had a dead pixel. Just a single one but it drove me crazy and my eyes would constantly gravitate to it. Fought with them all morning because they told me to exchange it in a store, no stores are carrying the 64gb in inventory so they said they would send me a return label and once they get this device send me another. I called back multiple times and fought with multiple people. Eventually I got a supervisor that made it so they send me the replacement first, then I send back this one. It took a lot of fighting and a lot of calls but they eventually did it. The supervisor actually had to get approval from her supervisor. It was a hellish morning and I'm glad I finally got it sorted. Already got an email about the order for the replacement so that's a good sign. Man their customer service has taken a nosedive. It never used to be this difficult to do an exchange. When the last rep answered "thank you for calling att where pur customers are the #1 priority I couldn't help to laugh and say 'that's not true'"

Was this through ATT or HTC? the jerks at HTC said they wont pay for shipping or replace .. just a repair and it will take 10 business days for me to get my phone back .. WTF ... HTC and Samsung need to get on Apple's level of Product Troubleshooting and Exchanges ...

This was through AT&T. If you are an AT&T customer, I would check to see if there is a warranty center in your area. They will usually make an exchange on the spot. Otherwise, call AT&T and they will send out a replacement right away and you just mail in your defective phone when you receive the new one.
I bought my phone used, does the 1 year manufacture warranty carry over to me, even though I'm not the original owner?
What are you using to find dead pixels with, they are quite small. I know certain screens/colors will reveal them nicely.
I had one dead pixel on my first HTC one it also had the speaker grill cut incorrectly. I decided to do a exchange for the same one and this one is perfect no issues. To check for dead pixels use this app it's great also shows ghosting ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ujacha.deadpixel&hl=en). I love this phone btw hope this helps anyone.

Hello xda. A few weeks ago I sold my S3 for $200 and purchased a used silver AT&T HTC one for $450 from an electronics reseller here in OKC, Cdr electronics. I'm outside of my upgrade window and really wanted the One so i figured this was the best and least expensive route. The phone was in almost mint condition. Not a single flaw except the common gap on the speaker grills. I didn't get any packaging or accessories, just the phone itself.
Now about 3 weeks later I've noticed dust and lint under the glass about half an inch in from the volume rocker and it's really starting to bug me. Obviously it's a hardware defect, but I don't have the original receipt, only mine from the reseller. Is their anything i can do? I can return it for a full refund in the next week but I'm curious if there is any warranty at all i can utilize. Would AT&T do anything for me? HTC? Anyone else in this situation? Thanks!

Since you didn't get the phone from AT&T, I doubt they will give you anything on warranty. HTC warrants the phone for one year from purchase or 15 months from manufacture. The serial number of the phone identifies the manufacture date. If you call HTC, I wouldn't tell them any information they don't ask for. Also, if you send it back to HTC, make sure it is in full stock form. No unlocked boot loader and stock Rom. Remove all evidence of tampering with the device or they will deny warranty.

What kind of warranty did the business give you on purchasing it from them? If it's a shop worth their salt, it's at least 30 days. Can you take it up with them? If not, I would call HTC and talk to them about it. Just as dborgo states, don't mention that it was used and you should be fine. One user on here got caught up by volunteering info he shouldn't have and it cost him money for repairs. Simple Yes or No answers with a few vague responses SHOULD get you what you want.

I bought a One off CL and contacted att when I found a defect with the back camera. They sent me a new one with no issues. They had even asked where I purchased the phone and I told them off of a third party. I used the online chat. If you don't get the answer you want on the first call/chat just hang up and contact them right back. You will get through to a person who is helpful. Good luck

The official HTC Warranty
I took a picture of the warranty card that came with my One, since HTC's website is quite obtuse and the info was impossible to find. Basically, the HTC warranty goes to the original purchaser and is not transferable to a third party. That isn't to say that they won't work something out with you, but you should also be prepared to pay for the repairs if they find out.

I would guess your best bet is to go through AT&T. They are pretty good about warranties on the devices they sell. If they show your line using a ONE it shouldn't be a problem. If asked where it was purchased just tell them it was a 3rd party wireless retailer. Worst case scenario, I'm sure HTC will fix it for you but more than likely they will charge you at least 100 bucks. At that point you mine as well return it and buy a new one directly from HTC.
Let us know!

Hey all ,
I want to buy this watch and I noticed many sells on eBay from south korea.
watch has a very good price and according to the list it should work fine in my country as far as bands.
also asked the seller if I'll get FOTA updates and he said that yeah.
so my question is , can anyone think on other reasons why I shouldn't buy it from there?
sell for example : http://www.ebay.com/itm/321576361962
Thanks for your help
On the side of pessimistic, I'm always very careful about ordering anything from overseas. Mainly cuz what if something goes wrong???
Once i ordered a fairly expensive HD IP Cam from Asia, and when it arrived it was clearly a fake. The worse case I know of, is a co-worker that ordered an Galaxy
S5 from Korea at a great price.
After a few weeks, weird things began happening.
By utilizing a few sites that specialize in spotting fakes, he would've never been able to tell that he got taken and bought a cheap clone. And the kicker of this story, the fine print in the con's listing forced ebay to rule in his favor.
So overall, try to order products from US vendors and be sure to read the description in its entirety.
Sorta like the guy that bought a picture of a gold iPhone for big $$$, cuz he didn't read (or maybe doesn't know how).
Good luck!!!

I think that for hige-end devices such as this it would be very easy to spot a fake product , for example , curved screen is not something that every manufacturer can make.
and as you said , ebay buyer protection plan can always save you.
in addition there's the whole feedback system that if you know how to work with you can figure within 2-5 minutes of investigation if the seller is reliable or not.
my main concerns are about the version of the watch , will all apps work on it etc.

Don't be so sure on the looks alone. Take a look at this:

First off. This model won't work in the US.
There are a lot of different versions of the GS... Each for a different segment of the world. I would do some 2G/3G/4G frequency research on the model you're buying and the provider you'll be using it with. Also, make sure it's factory unlocked... Trying to get it unlocked from another country would near impossible.

yeah , $150 for a brand new watch is of course a ripoff.
you're right , the south korean watch won't work in north america , but as you can see I'm not from US
I guess I will cancel this order though , since I found other seller from Europe who also promise to cover any customs duties if it gets stopped.

I did buy mine from Korea, and I'm from the UK. The problem is that you got to pay import charges, that will be 50.

I see , well yeah , I figured that since I have the risk of having to pay import charges I better cancel the order before the seller ship it.
This is what I did.

it's more or less the same price when you calculate it. if you buy it from your country or import it/ the charges will add up like you brought it locally.

wow, so you might as well buy it on ebay for 200/import charges will be about 55...total you pay will be 255....ho yeah paypal take about 9 charge to send the payment overseas, so the new total is£264,still cheaper than £336.
Buy it if you don't mind the trouble and long delivery time.
