Hello,
I think HTC Kaiser's screen is too delicate. Mine got cracked yesterday very easily. I've had many PDA phones and it never happened to me.
Does anyone know where can I get a replacement screen?
Thanks,
Mario.
How did it crack, you pushed too hard when trying to use TouchFlo? it fell. Cause there has to be a reason that gives you the impression the screen is too delicate
ha ha, that sucks
Well, depending on how long you've had it, maybe it's covered under the 30 day warranty for return? I can't imagine how someone could break it, so it sounds like manufacturing defect to me??
Sound good to you??
Give it a try....
Let us know how it happened and if you get it fixed!
Good luck!
And to Doug2873... Don't make the guy feel worse than I'm sure he already does!!

do you have any other parts?
When I read certain posts in these forums, I wonder: So annoying online.... what it would be like to meet these people in real life? Although I guess everybody has one of these in their office...

Amen I agree

Thank you all for your replies...I live in Mexico City and currently I'm in the US and there's no way of getting a replacement screen. HTC asked me to ship them the unit and they would charge between $170 and $350 USD for fixing it.
njbridges: I sent you a PM with my contact info.
I think we need a hard case for this device. Has anyone seen one?
Mine cracked because someone pushed me and I fell on it.
Thanks!

I think if SOMEONE fell on any PDA out there, the screen cracks is no wonmder. i think...
I read a Post where someone have cracked his PDA (i think mda3) because it feld off off the front window on his car and down to the gearbrick(?).. and it cracks the screen 2times.
I don´t have the feeling that the screen is more sensible as other screens...
Sorry for the engl. i´m from germany.

I too cracked my screen pretty traumatized about it, superiorgadgets is looking into it, but I will pm njbridges as well as a backup.
I'm unable to get the cracked screen out of the device, I have all the screwdrivers but I can't find a way of opening the Kaiser.
Any ideas?

Mine just cracked today, for no reason. It has never been dropped or abused, it's in new condition, not a nick or scratch on it, I'm extremely careful. It was on the counter charging and I went to take it off the charger and saw the screen was cracked. I called ATT and they told me I'm SOL, it would be $498 to repair.
yeah if u are comfortable best bet do it yourself and save $300-$400
I found the part for about $100 from another member here. I'm tempted to just replace it and sell this phone. While I loved the 8525, I haven't been particularly happy with the 8925. Maybe it would be better with newer firmware, but I won't know now unless I replace the screen. I wonder what it's worth for parts......
Mine has never been dropped, but after reading how easy is to break it I'm really concerned...
I have dropped my old 8125 like 10 times and it's still working like the first day...
I just ordered the replacement screen from njbridges today. I'll post after I've received the parts and add my 2 cents. If anybody is going to break something in this replacement process, it will be me. I'm completely inept at using tools. I can barely even change the batteries in my kids' toys.
i am a complete ****in idiot.
I bougth a tytn 2 got it cheap, worked nicely, but case was tatty, so bought a new one, thought ok ill fit it myself, dismanteled it which took ages, what a ****in job that was.
got the screen in, and then attached the slider, ob wasnt on right, connected the keybord, and went to slide, it , only came out half way, i thought mmm ok, ribbon cable stuck, went to remove the keyboard, was a bit rought, and i sliced the robbon cable on the phone,
after hours of being upset (its my gfs phone) i got the courage to call her and tell her what happened, she didnt blame me but she was upset, and i need to wait till saturday till i can get her a new one.
But i was thinking, shurely i can buy a new screen somewhere, and pay someone to finish putting on the new case and fit the newly bought screen before then to have it fully working before saturday,
can someone help me out here, im in the uk if that helps
You can find a new screen online, i just bought one off ebay for 35USD including shipping.
Since i'm not in the UK i dont know where you could go to get someone to repair it for you but i'd imagine there are such shops.
I'm having issues with my kaiser as well. The lcd i ordered is for my dad's (he dropped his phone down a marble staircase) and just right now i woke to find my kaiser screen all white
hi there thanks, i got a screen for 25 quid and a new case for 50, not to go to the local phone shop see how much it will cost to fix it,
your phone sounds like a software issue, did u try to reflash it with a diff or the same rom, or soft and hard reset it first ?
tytn 2 all fixed
i bought a new case, and a new ribbon cable, and long behold the phone is now 100% functional and working, new radio flashed and boom instant signal, loving the phone, but...... haha ..... not mine, its the gfs and she thinks its to hard to use, do she wants a new one, and not having the case i cant buy it, check ebay u guys its on there now, im so sad to see her selling it
Hi I currently own a g1 but since I can't afford much these days I wasn't able to pay the bills. I've been using this phone for about a year and the paint is ripping off and it just doesn't look like anyone would want to buy it..
My question is what would be the best way to sell it?
I never had any problems at all with my phone, it's the best phone I have ever owned. I was thinking about just buying housing parts for my phone to replace the scratches.
I found this on Ebay and was wondering can i just replace these parts and sell my phone for around 200 something dollars??? http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1313&_nkw=g1+housing&_sacat=See-All-Categories
please help because I have no cellphone right now and I really need one soon.
Thank you

Next can you use punctuation, it makes it a lot easier to read!
I would expect (maybe) $140 (£65~) to $180 (£110~)
But the prices in the usa may differ from me just converting the prices!
Go on eBay and put some g1s similar to yours, on your watching list and see what they go for.
Hope this helps!
Thanks dude yea i know BIG difference overseas $$$ LOL
BTW I HAVE PICS OF EVERYTHING FOR THOSE INTERESTED I CAN EMAIL

You could post this in the marketplace section.
Don't forget punctuation! lol
Good luck with the sale!
you might want to check out swappa.com .. came across it last night in a search for a replacement fone .. its only for buying and selling gently used android phones and with each sale they donate a portion of it to cyanogen.. hth
Hello all.
I've been around the forums for awhile (just used the search functions for my previous issues) but seem to have no luck with this one. Well, anyway.. A few days ago I dropped my Vivid from about 2 feet and yeaaah it's absolutely shattered all the way. What are my options? I'm tech saavy so I think I could replace it; however, with the phone being so new I can't seem to find a disassemble tutorial for it. Ive found the screens on a website and on eBay but they seem to say HTC on the top instead of AT&T (because I would reeeeally like to return this and get the skyrocket) so... Does anyone know of a disassembly guide for it? Orrrr... Can I get HTC to repair it?
Also, I found someone local that said he would do it for $120.. But I'd have to pay him upfront since the screen is so pricey.. But that just seems very odd to me since he's working out of his house... Hmm

There is for the digitizer glass. dunno where to get a new LCD though.. Sorry dude.
Isn't that all I need though? The phone works fine.. The glass is just shattered
well there ya go.. if the LCD is not damaged that is all you need..
Okay, cool. Do you know of any online tutorial to install it? Im pretty sure I can do it but I don't want to totally screw it up lol

It's not the vivid but should provide some insight.
Yeah, I was googling and youtubing vids but I didn't know which other HTC would be similar design to the vivid, well, besides the raider.
You could get insurance from your phone from AT&T (as long as it's within 30 days of when you bought it). I decided to get insurance for my Vivid, and they didn't even ask to look at my phone. So add the insurance to your plan, then put in a claim a little bit later (prolly not immediately after).
I already tried that route. It's a $199 deductible on the vivid... Which is absolutely ridiculous.
Could pay the deductible but tell them you lost the phone. Yeah the IMEI will be blacklisted but you will have a test device for root and S-OFF. Also you can sell the removable parts from it too or keep them for spare.
This one fell about three feet onto the corner with the search button not even a week after receiving...

^EXACTLY what mine looks like what are you going to do about it
..I actually found a HTC raider tear down on YouTube; however, the little "void" circle by the battery is a screw so I reaaaally don't want to void my warranty. So, I'll probably just pay the $199
I called for replacement told em it was lost payed 200 wanting to find a Dec. That would be interested hacking that doesn't have the vivid yet but not sure how to go about it..

I just cracked mine also. Obviously no gorilla glass!! I have insurance and called to get it replaced, the deductible was $199 which is higher than you can buy the phone for. I called back into 611 and raised Hel_ with the AT&T Rep because the insurance company is apparently a third party. Dropped the insurance, it is not worth it and she will send me a new phone for $50 after I stated I would go to Verizon for an Apple! Now I can get the glass replaced and Gazelle will give me $300 for the repaired phone!
Ha! my vivid got ran over by a Thunderbird on Christmas eve...and lived to tell the tail! Lol I was super surprised to see only one lil nick from a rock that made it through the zagg screen gaurd..and the screen now has a unique blue "ghost cloud" in the top left corner of the screen the screen also has a few tiny chips in the bottom left corner and along the sides but u can't see them under the case I have which also saved the phone from being crushed! O and it was laying screen up if that matters at all.

My 2 Cents
IMHO this may be one instance where thr HTC phones being built with more solid materials actually works against us, the phone being much heavier hits with greater force and possibly is more prone to damage.. I may be wrong but it's my opionion (I always get a decent case to provide at least basic impact protection) I like the Platinum cases sold at BestBuy (good belt clip & protection once you learn the trick of unlatching the case parts)
Best of Luck, sorry this really does not help you after the fact.
Cheers

This is one of the sites that sells digitizers & the SLCD
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-vivid-screen-replacements-repair-parts.html
Some other sites sell Digitizers and LCD's for the vivid, but to be quite honestly the process is very simple to fix. The only minus is that you'll spend anywhere between $100 to $120 to get it fixed out of pocket...or pay that $199 deductible and realize that carrier insurance is borked.
