same, hope it was a freak accident and not a simple drop

Rule #1. Don't ever give your phone to a pissed off person... exhibit A attached.
Instead of replacing it with a new Captivate I went with the HTC Aria.. maybe not the best choice, but I think it will do the trick. I like the size, and GPS actually works out of the box. I plan on frequenting the XDA Aria section.
I'll prob try to sell my busted up Captivate on eBay, for anyone that might have bricked their own phone. Other than the screen the phone seems to work without issue.

Damn that's quite a busted screen :-/

Looks like a gorilla got a hold of that gorilla glass.

That left a mark
hope you had insurance.......

poor , poor cappy...

What's the problem? That'll buff right out!

Wow that pic made me almost cry!

It's like watching a snuff film D:
Edit for helpful-ish answer: Hope you were paying for the insurance =/ I don't know where you'd go about getting replacement glass, and standard manufacturer's warranty won't cover physical abuse like that

Please help idk what is wrong with screen!!!

Hello,
I have broken the LCD before and it looked like this.....http://www.ppctechs.com/AT-T-Tilt_974/repairs/LCD-Touchscreen-Repair-Service_1025-373.htm
So I fixed the lcd and everything was good untill today....
I droped the phone from about 2 feet and the screen isnt cracked but everything is very bright now. I took 2 pictures below but its hard to see becuase well its hard to see on the phone. everything still works. I can still make calls and use it but its just very bright almost no color.
Does anyone know if it can be something loose? do i just need a digitizer? or do I have to go and buy the whole lcd/ digitizer combo again?
thanks so much

Im runing a att tilt with the jan 3 hyper dragon rom.
It looks like the connection isnt seated properly. You may want to take it back apart and make sure its tightly seated. Dropping it may have jarred the connection loose.
This phone is a new htc i got never been opened... but i just opened it right now and disconnected everything and re connected, and it still like that...
anyone else have any other ideas or advice,
thanks for ur input to previous poster

Your not alone... there are other threads with pictures just like this one.
Some seem to be a hardware defect, so if its brand new, that's probably the case.
its actually about 2 years old.
it was used for about 4 months, then put away for a year. then i just started to use it again in December 08
then just today =[
so i dont mind i guess i can buy a new lcd screen and change it, ill keep searching around here
if anyone know thats its a forsure fix ill do it. thanks again for everyones help and suppoRT
I was referring to the LCD Ribbon that connects the LCD TO THE MOTHERBOARD. Try simply taking it apart and checking that ribbon before you go order a new lcd ........

Big problem!!

Hi Guys
i have a big problem,
I've tried to change the digitizer touchpanel myself, and cut the function keys off can anyone please help.

basicly what you see there is whats underneath the 5 buttons on the bottom on the HD2. Atached to that should be whats underneath the rest of the HD2 (a large curcit board so to speak) FUBAR in my opinion.
IM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU BRO!!!
So sorry so sorry.
I know it sucks. I know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5850567#post5850567
I have suffered same thing before. I had to buy hd2 for parts just to replace!
It's very easy to try and remove mainboard without lifting latch for terminal. I had already taken mine apart three times before I forgot about it on fourth try and I heard a "pop"...I **** my pants, cried and got to looking to buy one for replacement parts.
I am currently looking to buy hd2's so let me know if you want to part with it.

[Opinion] Samsung i900 Screen?

I've tried asking this on Modaco due to there being no i900 forums here but Modaco's a waste of bleedin' time!
Someone's just chucked their old Omnia i900 my way and I was going to have a play with different ROMs on it.
However, the screen's got a fault - two black lines across it

Do you guys think it's a faulty LCD or a screen connection problem?
Thanks

I don't have one of this phones...but, if you want help...why don't you provide us with as much information as possible.....shuch as:
Did this happened after or before flashing?
Was the phone in good working consitions before flashing?
Did you even flashed that phone?
Is it new or used?

Your quote "Modaco's a waste of bleedin' time!"
But yet your still going to get your roms from there.
modaco, xda, ppc geeks, omnia hub, and countless others are all GREAT sites. So sorry the seas didn't part at the snap of your finger.
good day.
It's a bad case of some dead pixels. Nothing you can do about it.
had this on one of my omnias, faulty screen, they're easy enough to get new ones from ebay iirc.

[Q] Scratched Phone

Hello xda-developers,
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy mini. The problem is that its screen is scratched (I really don't know how did this happen). Does anyone have any idea to make them disappear? Here is a picture of my phone.

it seemed to be a screen protector
just remove it and apply a new one
Thanks for your replies.
Hello guys,
Thanks for your replies. I realised that I need to change the front cover of my phone. I can find one from ebay but the problem is that I don't know how to do that. I heard that it is dangerous to damage your phone. Can somebody suggest a site where I can get more information about that? Thanks in advance.
any mobile accessories shop owner will replace it
It costs too much!
Well I went to the samsung service and he needs 50 euros! It's too expensive can you suggest any other idea?

i'm sure that google will help you with finding needed info
according to Indian price it should only cost 2-4 euros
I think I'm going to fix it by another way.
I asked another service about it and he needs 35 euros. Well it's still expensive and I am afraid I will not fix it. If you guys can tell me another idea otherwise I'll give it up.
I really hate those scratches, they are so annoying.
just use some whitening toothpaste and microfibre cloth, rub small amount of toothpaste on the scratch in circular motion. it will take a lot of time, but i assure you that it will work. and it have to be microfibre.
Hm I'll try that but will this do any damage on my phone's screen?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda app-developers app
It didn't work.
I tried to remove the scratches with toothpaste but it didn't work.
I am gonna do that by myself.
I am gonna risk it and change the front cover of my phone by myself. I've seen videos on youtube on how to do it so I think if I follow carefully the instructions on how to do it I'll succeed.
Thanks for your help guys!

HTC one is highly repairable according to lead designer

So HTC has a secret tool used to take apart the HTC one without damaging it hopefully someone can get there hands on it

Interesting find, to say the least. I wonder what it is though. iFixit's pretty thorough, and I can't imagine they'd miss any obvious way into the casing...so whatever this trick tool is, it must be fairly clever (which could mean either brilliantly simple or...well, not. )

Only that the tool costs about 1 million dollars. Those bastards. I know people enjoy the kind of design like apple, but I prefer those that use screws. I opened my touch diamond after it dropped on ground and display didn't work. I plugged the cable back in, and it worked again. Well, that old day is gone.
I had 3 refurbished Ones, all with separate problems. I assume they did not have this magic tool.
It probably not a "tool" that you can hold or have shipped to your house.
It's probably a 1 ton machine with precision heating elements and clamps. None of that knifing crap.

Hopefully this tool is effective and reliable. My phone's main board has to be replaced, so they'll have to open it up. Now that I know they have a special tool, I have the right to raise hell if they send it back all screwed up.
bump
looks like someone has found a way to open it with minimal damage it seems
