Any Touch Screen/Digitizer Repair Kits for Telus?

I just got this phone as a gift a month and a half ago, and somehow, just somehow the screen got cracked in my pocket. Everything still works fine, phone works great as always, but the screen is all messed up.
I went to a local Telus store, and they said they don't do repairs on physical damage which is stupid IMO. And I think the warranty my brother paid for might be up, he's not sure. And even so, I'm almost positive they'll say the warranty doesn't cover physical damage. The guy said my only hope would be to look for a 3rd party company online that can do repairs.
I tried looking around for a Screen/Digitizer Repair Kit for telus online, but they only had some for the sprint model of the phone. I know they're the same, but the screen shapes are clearly different.

Replacement LCD
Hi. Have a look on ebay. I would recommend you buy a complete LCD and digitiser pre-assembled in one unit... These typically cost around £35 UK pounds when bought from sellers in Hong Kong. You will need a set of jewellers screw drivers (mini torx drivers), and a set of tweezers. Also, would recommend downloading a Service Manual for the Diamond if you have never taken one apart before (you can find this with Google). You need to be very careful though, because there are two small black coaxial cables inside the device that carry the GPS, bluetooth/wifi signals from the upper antenna board to the lower motherboard. These are very easily damaged and it is difficult to locate replacements. I've changed a few LCDs in the past and it is relatively easy if you are careful and methodic about taking the device apart. If you are unsure, I would recommend finding a third party replacement service on the internet to do it for you....

i was seen one of your post. my diamond screen was broken and i get it to a serviceman. after he replace its touchscreen i lost my wifi,gps , bluetooth and phone microphone. can you help me to repair it? thanks alot

[Q] Is battery user-replaceable?

From the pictures I've seen, I don't see a way to change batteries easily (i.e. without a screwdriver and a knife and some chance of breaking something). Can anyone confirm that? I'm wondering if I can bring a second battery along to help get me (and the kids) through a 12-hour flight?
TIA!
Chris

Not user replaceable in the least, sorry. Not soldered on like the ipad, but definitely not user replaceable without taking the unit apart.

I expect that there will be a bigger battery mod along at some point, it's not one of my priorities though.

Thanks for the info! Too bad...I'll never understand that design decision. I've bought second batteries for nearly every phone/pda I've owned.

Because manufacturers are following Apple's lead to train you to need new crap more often than batteries will die out. And they bank on the fact that consumers will pay for the extra charging and adapter crap that goes along with their products.
It's also cheaper to do it this way.
I hate it.

non-user replaceable batts are just another reason(along with extraordinarily high prices for comparatively poor specs, esp. notebooks) why I, personally, find Apple to no longer be relevant, but at least in this case it's not soldered to the board... just a matter of how difficult it is to disassemble it enough to replace the batt...
...still thinking about getting one of these as I do want a 7" tablet to go along with my 10" gTab, and it WILL also be pulling duty as a poorly lit area reader... 7" is just so much more comfortable for that functionality....

Doesn't look like the battery is soldered in, but it also doesn't look like it's meant to be easily user replaceable.

On the ZDnet teardown, you can see that it is a matter of opening and unpluging the battery, so I don't see a reason why eventually we wouldn't see some higher capacity interchange-ables for the brave..

I bought mine and didn't even touch it and there's a gap between the charger and the bottom cover of the phone where you can see the SIM card. Just a very poor design.

I have the same problem. I opened it to swap the sd card, and since then it doesn't close perfectly anymore.
I called htc about this, and they confirm that they only sell the upper part of the back cover. You can send it in, but then it'll cost you about 40 dollars for the fix, minus the shipping. I just ordered a silicone cover instead.
I just hope that they will start selling those bottom parts too.

I agree with you I have seen many review criticise this! There seems to be a poor quality control at HTC for the HD7, the gap to me looks like about 1mm that's not acceptable!
Fortunately I have been very luck my HD7 does not have that gap!

It's a shame ... seriously ... the back housing is not the only part of a low quality ...
Even the power button doesnt seem to work properly (after two week of usage!) and i have to press it really hard to get it to work.
and I also saw the "Tarnished camera button" in the other thread ...
HTC!!!! SERIOUSLY?!!!

my local HTC repair shop contacted a lot of people but was also unable to get the part. i am thinking of superglue right now ...
superglued down. no other option but its perfect now

The gap annoyed me after I upgraded it to 32GB... So I carefully sanded down some of the plastic lugs and superglued the bottom part to the body. Yup, I know it was quite drastic but at least I've ended up with a perfect HD7... And a voided warranty! It's a shame that HTC allowed this horrible gap. My old HD2 was much better finished.

As much as i'd like to post a link for some back covers for you all there seems to be a lack of spare parts for the moment . I did however find a coverall solution that although doesn't fix your phones will at least let you hold it together until we can buy some at a later date

HTC HD7 3500 mAHExtended Life Battery with Replacement Back Cover (pictures)

Hi
Just Pictures for now will try to post usage sometimes later
Anyone else got these? feedback would be appreciated
UK EABY
HIGH EXTENDED 3500mAH Battery for HTC HD 7 HD7 + Cover
Ordered from the Above link
As you can see it spoils the beauty of the HD7 but I guess its worth it only if you plan to use your phone for a long day trip or something if you are taking photos.
Its China made and looks like hand made, bit rough if you know what I mean, still wondering whether I should use it or not, as I don't really use my HD7 that much

Holy cow! that looks ugly hehe!

good lord thats immense! what sort of life do you get out of that thing?

Trust me.
I Just put it in and took it out straight away. It made my sexy phone look horrendous.
I rather have low battery life then carry that around so that battery is lying in the corner unless someone wants to buy it off

That is ugly as hell.
But I can see it being useful if you go hiking or biking a lot; you would get a lot of GPS-mapping done with that battery and the phone itself could just be attached to your bike or your bag. You wouldn't want it in your pocket though.

bought that same battery from a vendor here in the US... The phone doesn't seem to "recognize" it's larger capacity... all system info/system view apps still show the batt as the 1230 maH... once the battery indicator goes low, and the orange LED starts flashing and the low battery warning pops up, I can shut down the phone, pull and re-insert the battery, power it back on and it shows about 50% battery again for a couple hours...

I have it.
I have this battery, i can stay up for 4 days without charging it, but when it goes down to drain level and orange light comes up i have to take the battery off and start phone again to see the battery's rest of the capacity left. I use Deepshining V2.0 and i use the phone with wifi once a day to pick up new apps but i don't talk much. Overall i am OK with it despite the phone doesn't see full capacity

Ugly son of a b'tch.

How To: Fix Broken Screen On Moto X 2nd Gen (2014)

How To: Fix Broken Screen On Moto X 2nd Gen (2014)
The Moto X is a great durable phone, but even the most durable phones will break when you use them as a cutting board. I was just really hungry and had no other surface to prepare this cucumber. A couple of hard chops later and my screen was busted in two. I had a great snack though. Now it's time to repair my screen. Let's go through everything that you'll need if you want to repair the Moto x 2nd generation all by yourself.
Tools Needed
Just the very basic tools are needed for this repair. I hope you haven't misplaced your sim tool but if you have then you'll need to find something that will pop that tray out. Everything else is pretty simple to find at your local hardware store. If you live at in the middle of nowhere and don't have any stores, here is where you can buy them online.
Opening Picks
T3 Torx Screwdriver
Spudger
Tweezers
Moto Eject Pin
Parts Needed
You'll need two basic parts to do this right. The first is your LCD and digitizer. You'll be able to find this for a little over $100 on the internet. The second part you'll need is the double sided tape for when you're putting the phone back together. This is pretty cheap at under $3.

Repair Guides
Once you're ready to rock, you'll need some instructions to get you through. Pay close attention and follow along with these detailed guides. They will lead you to victory.

Repair Videos
There's also plenty of videos to watch if you prefer this method. You can always count on YouTube user JerryRigEverything to create amazing repair videos for almost any phone. He's got amazing eyes as well.
This repair is pretty simple at a fairly average price. After you slap everything together, the phone rarely has any signs that it has been opened. This is due to the flexible and durable back plates that are used on this phone. They don't tend to leave marks when you're prying it open.
That should be everything you need to get started with this repair. Leave any questions that you have in the comments section below.
