Thanks, but these phones are way too sensitive i always treat my phone with care or else i wouldn't have bought an otter-box. dell made an excellent job with the phone/ tablet but they just have to work on their product's endurance.

I guess you don't have it under warranty?

I've been very careful with my streak- haven't gotten a case for it and I don't think I will.
But I've been seeing a lot of these threads where the screen doesn't crack but the lcd beneath it does.
I've also read that people have been successful in getting Dell to replace/repair the unit for free as long as you say you took it out of your pocket and it was cracked and not that you dropped it.

Sure you can. I did... They try to make you think you should buy the warranty or the world will end, but you don't HAVE to get it... Their warranty is $10 a freakin month! Insane
If you are interested here is a guide to stripping down and re-assembling the Dell Streak..
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/1
If you bought your phone direct from dell, around the time when it was first launched in august of last year, and you bought it at the time for the 549 price tag, just call dell and tell them that your screen has a crack in it. Don't tell them how the screen got cracked, and be nice on the phone. I had the same thing happen to mine and called in, and within two days i had a brand new phone in my hand. They did that because they didnt have replacement parts at the time and this was back in December. So hopefully it may work for you. Oh btw, if you have a modded rom on your unit, make sure to restore it to what was on the phone originally.
cracked mine lcd too few days ago. I have just gotten mine replacement streak but not for free , dell charged me for $250 on the word that I have to return the original. But don't have any return label with the replacement so not sure if I need to return the original broken streak. Testing the replacement currently if it is ok.
I ran across this online, it's a screen and digitizer replacement; it seemed like a good price for 159USD. It says it includes "Clear glass panel with transparent screen protection." Does that mean it comes with the Gorilla Glass?
I hope this helps anyone with a broken screen.

They should have the LCD in stock. I purchased mine from them. I did the work myself.

I had the worst luck today. It started when I called Dell about a week ago to get a replacement streak because mine would no longer vibrate and the camera "cannot be found" after 3 weeks of use. I missed my package (the replacement) Friday from FedEx because I never received any email regarding shipping status or tracking information; so the delivery was unexpected. Today (Sunday) I drop my already faulty Streak and cracked the inside of the screen and it would no longer display properly. Now I have no idea what to do ? I can't justify paying $250 like prasadKnew and sent my replacement back when the streak is priced as low as $49; in my case $194 + tax brand new/unlocked/no contract from the Dell promotion a month ago. I'm so mad . I don't even know what to do with the replacement now. Do I just ship back the replacement back or do I ship out my faulty/cracked lcd streak back and hear from them later?
The quality is definitely inferior to my HTC phones and I've owned quite a few. I've used and I dropped those phones so many times and I never got any interior damage; only cosmetic. I had no case for those phones either when I dropped it.
Quality is poor compared to htc? Seriously? You have a metal armored phone with a huge screen. It takes less of a fall for the streak screen to crack because it is that much bigger. Sounds to me like maybe you should be more careful.

if its just the glass and not the screen underneath you can pick up the glass for about 30 pound

Based on my experience, yes I find that HTC has a higher quality control over Dell. I'm not entirely basing my opinion on the fault of the cracked LCD screen. That would be too prejudicial. All I can say about my cracked screen is I'm surprised how it's so fragile after the first drop compared to 4 previous HTC products I've owned which took beat downs during rush hour commutes. I'm confused by the contradiction when you say the streak is a "metal armored phone with a huge screen" and then leading to how it's more fragile because of a bigger screen? Compared to the HD2 I've owned for almost a year, the Dell Streak is not that much heavier or even bulkier. I've found my T-Mobile Wing to be much bulkier and that phone took a beating from me for over a year. The same goes with my HTC Blackstone and my first HTC phone; the HTC Excalibur. I questioned the quality issue because my camera no longer works and my phone no longer vibrates after 3 weeks of use.
Don't get me wrong eSZee, I still love my Streak because of the screen size, the battery life, and it's uniqueness. That is the reason why I purchase it and gave away my HD2 to a relative. However, the quality is still shotty to me compared to HTC phones.
As for Mike, I searched the forum and found multiple sites that sell the LCD screen; some without the glass and ones with it. The lowest price I've found so far was $80 or so with everything. It's sold on eBay and the link was posted by another member from this forum. I might go with that route.
The issue I'm facing is whether I should try to have Dell cover it by sending out my broken Dell and keeping the replacement until they call me or ship the replacement back and fix my broken phone myself? The conflict comes in when the fact is I called originally to get my streak fixed/replaced because it would no longer vibrate and my camera no longer can be found (dual LED doesn't work either). I highly doubt Dell will fix those issues under warranty first and then ship it back to me with a cracked LCD screen so I can fix it myself. I don't want to pay for the LCD repair from Dell because that would cost too much compared to a DIY method. I also can't fix the phone first and then ship it back for repair because Dell might argue I voided the warranty by opening it up.

i had the desire hd and it was heavier then the streak, although i think yes they break easier cause the screen is bigger but also cause the screen goes right out to the sides of the phone where as other phones dont

I just cracked the screen on my thrill :-(, I can still see and use everything on the phone just fine but I have a massive spiderweb, my question is, is it easy to find someone that replaces screens? and is the Thrills screen going to be particularly hard to replace because it's 3d?

You can buy parts on Amazon for fairly cheap. What area are you in?
You might find a phone repair service on Craigslist
Sent from my CM7 Thrill
according to my knowledge there is no connection between 3d thing and the front glass which u broke up. The stereoscopic panel is behind the screen. So the screen is a typical LCD capacitive one which you can replace. Screen+ degitalizer willc cost something around $45 .
thanks for the replies, I am in the Seattle area I looked on craigs list but all I can find are people who fix iphones. I guess I'll just buy the parts and attempt to fix it myself

I dropped my phone on some pretty hard stuff, and it has a big crack now, on the right side of the screen. Everything seems to be working fine, and the touch screen in itself has no issues (it works even on the cracked part of the glass), but the crack is pretty big, and it runs right from top to the bottom of the screen. Any idea how/where I can get it replaced, and how much it might cost?
I though gorilla glass was a lot more tougher :crying:
Thanks!

There are a few screens on ebay for cheap
Can you get it done cheap in a market or something? You can here
Oh, well. Seems like fun!
Did not find anything for the IncS on EBay's Indian site, but I guess I can get it shipped from the States - I found several on that.
But before I try this, I would definitely want to know how much the HTC repair center might charge me for this The LCD is fine, and only the glass (or digitizer - I got that from Mark's youtube link) has to be replaced. There are several on eBay for 35 USD, which is kinda OK, but I do not want to end up with a messed up non-working phone at the end of it
There may be a few nerves taking apart a $400 phone haha
And from my research, the glass and the digitaliser are attached
You could always enquire at HTC by calling them or emailing
That would obviously be the safest way
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA
Yeah, I mailed them, and they asked me to contact their Customer Care over phone, and the person at the CC had no idea what a digitizer is, and he asked me to get in touch with the repair center here, which is closed on Sundays
Will update here tomorrow after a visit to the repair center.

My very late, in rush butt started running without realizing that my phone fell out. I got the phone back from a stranger after multiple attempts to unlock my phone and keep it. Anyways, my friends and I, we came to conclusion that my phone was ran over by a car, face down on the asphalt. Tech21 screen protector on it has multiple holes and dents from the surface of the asphalt. Luckily enough, everything is fine but the screen, of course. It cracked every where. Every tallest bumps of the road left a crack on the screen. I can barely read but actual screen is FINE. THANK GOD!!
SOOO end of story. I ordered repair kit on eBay but I was wondering if anyone went through changing the glass on Note 4 yet? am i the first one?? T.T
Edit: it's my first time replacing the glass but I've dealt with similar stuff before. If anyone would like a video of it, I could try to record it. If I crack my screen, people could cry with me or laugh at me.

It would work better if you had the machine to separate the glass from the screen. I will say if the screen is badly cracked up you might have a really low success rate.
why not just buy a whole screen? they are under $200 the last time i checked on ebay. less risk and less headache.
you can even try just the glass after you replace the screen just to do it and if it works you have a back up, if not no loss.
i have a machine and hardly use it cuz how bad people break their screens today, whole screen is the safe bet.
i don't know if its the same in your area but most places charge $100-150 to replace the glass and most places don't reapply new adhesive to the digitizer and glass . so the glass is being held onto the phone by the frame only.

I agree completely. I dropped the phone on the road while riding and except the top right corner crack on screen there is no damage. Somewhat surprising because i must be atleast 30 mph and the force with which it fell, should have broken into pieces. Not even the back cover came off the phone.

My screen cracked while snowboarding and Repairs Universe offers a new glass/digitizer assembly for $189. I contacted Samsung and they offered to repair it for $197.77, so for an additional $8 someone will do it for you. The only downside is you'll be without a phone for about 1.5-2 weeks.
I was worried about the stuff from Repairs Universe being genuine Samsung parts (wanna make sure I get a real 1440p screen and not Chinese knock off crap that's only 720p), so I contacted them. They assured me that it is a genuine Samsung screen, but they could have been lying to me just to get a sale. For that extra $8 I'll get genuine Samsung parts and it'll be getting done properly by someone that know what they're doing.
So for anyone that needs a new screen those are two options for you.

That's good to know, thanks for sharing. Yes, I agree, I'd go directly to Samsung as well, considering price is roughly the same.
Any chance you can share the phone/email of the department at Samsung you contacted? Would be good to have that handy.

I went to their website on my phone, clicked on contact us, and did a live chat with one of their customer service people. It'll ask you to choose which product you're contacting them about (phones, TVs, appliances, etc) then what kind of phone. They'll ask for your IMEI number and all that jazz. I found them to be quite polite and helpful.
The only down side is you'll be without a phone for about 2 weeks, so make sure you have a backup phone to use or prepare yourself for terriblewithdrawal from not having your Note...
Guys the people you want to contact isn't Samsung. It's their only authorized repair service in the United States. The name is RSI found in both Plano and Hurst, Texas. Here's their website: www.repairsvc.com
Dealing with them directly should reduce your wait time.

Yes, that's the price they charge. I was letting everyone know that these are the guys that Samsung uses. They use genuine OEM parts and are the only repair center in the United States authorized to do Samsung repairs. If you look earlier in the thread, someone said that Samsung charges $197.77 with a 1.5-2 week turn around. As you just said yourself, this method would be $5 cheaper and 2x faster than going through Samsung to get the same place to repair your phone. Just was putting it out there if someone wanted 100% assurance that they were getting genuine OEM parts but didn't want to wait 1.5-2 weeks that Samsung quoted them.

Yup same reason I haven't cancelled the tmo 'jump' subscription. You do have to factor in the $10 per month subscription price though, so if you break your phone in 10 months, it's $275.
T-Mobile insurance to replace phone is $175 I just filed a claim on Saturday and got a new phone not refurbished today. The only problem is I had a Note 4 in White but they sent Gray since White was not in stock. I called T-Mobile and complained and got a $30 credit applied to my account so I really just paid $145
Damage is done. Figured I may take this "opportunity" to try another device. Obviously unlockable bootloader is required. I'll dig around on some of the other forums, but wanted to ask here if anyone has experience with the Moto X Pure or Nexus 5X? Those are the two that have peaked my interest so far. Thanks for any beta you can provide.
The Nexus will be more frequently updated than the Motorola device. However, other than the screen being an IPS LCD, the X Pure I feel is the better device all around.
i would suggest you get this..

Lol i was going to do the same joke
From my personal story i dropped my n6 one time doing my cardio jumping rope
Phone's screen just fall right on the floor tile... I immediately check
Camera ok, screen ok etc...
1 day after ive finally see that the top bar speaker, you know the little plastic thing, was pushed. So pushed that now the top bar speaker is nearly at the same level of the frame... And led still works
I think the ringke Max cover saved my screen and I'm loving much more my n6 and his scars.
Ps: I've by a Bluetooth headset after that

I would go with a 5x. I have had both and I currently use the 5x. It is a great device and I would recommend it to anyone. With a good custom ROM its bullet proof. Unless you drop it of course lol.

Yeah, I need something like that. I've actually cracked the screen 3 times. All of which were during periods I had the case off. Took if off to clean and lost a couple of the buttons in the case and just hadn't gotten around to ordering one.
So anyway, I just went ahead and ordered the Moto X Pure. I'll fix the N6 and maybe sell it to get a 5x too. Thanks for the feedback.
I just dropped my nexus 6, only 1/3 of the screen is lit and there's just a bunch of lines. I don't have enough money to buy a phone with equal specs. So how hard is it to replace the digitizer?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using XDA-Developers mobile app
If you had a bad digitizer, your display would still function but touch inputs wouldn't register properly if at all. The AMOLED display is what is wrong with your device. Since digitizer and display are fused together, replacing the complete assembly is actually rather easy. However, replacement screens are not cheap. In fact, they aren't much less expensive than sending the Nexus in to Motorola and having them replace the screen for $175.
I'd like to chime in and make a suggestion.
Forearm curls.
This should help increase your grip so it won't be so easy to drop the phone.
Granted, it's an "over time solution". However, it should save some money in the long-run from lost/damaged phones.
That, or just superglue it to your palm.

It is quite easy to replace. There are plenty of video's on Youtube that show you how it works.
I bought a digitizer two month ago via Amazon. Had to release ~26 screws. Most sensitive part was to detach the connectors (very fragile!).
It went quite ok and I am now very happy with a full functional Nexus 6.
The digitizer did cost me $160,-. Quite some money, but better than a new investment in a brand new phone (A-brand).

I've repaired some phones in my time, but never in a phone that was pressed together with clips. I wasn't about to spend that money and possibly screw up. I went ahead and bought a HTC Desire Eye for $120. Maybe some day I'll fix the Nexus but no today

I broke one of these and I feel your pain. I ended up just buying another from Amazon and left the broken one in my drawer. If this other one manages to break I'll probably grab a 5x or something budget. I can't be bothered to pay $175 for the repair when Moto has awful customer support now and the phone is only worth about 200 total.
