So today I am just chillin, and pull out my phone from my pocket and I didnt really grip it hard and just falls from my hands... I swear when it dropped it felt that it was falling in slow motion. And out of all the places it could fall, it falls at an angle and then on the screen.
I picked it up and I see the top of the screen has a crack from one side to the other, and another crack on the bottom right corner. And it gets worse, when I turned on the screen the touch doesnt work at all so basically my whole screen is messed up.
Found a website that sells the screen already glued with the frame and a battery so all its missing is the motherboard and internal stuff.
Buttt its $170 so yea gotta wait till next week when I get payed.
I would post pics but dont have 10 posts so yea, it really sucks I've had the phone for about a month and I always protected it. :crying::crying::crying:
Sorry to hear that but I've read that LG will repair your screen for less than that.

hmmm..... But isn't LG already being super slow to produce the device itself, would probably take them a month to do it and I kinda need a phone
Asking them to give you a price and time estimate cannot hurt. Additionally, the limiting step of production is more likely everything that goes on that motherboard, not the touch screen.

Damn man, that sucks. The first time my Nexus was dropped was from my friend being careless... So because of that, I made it so that no one except me can use my phone. I hated my friend for doing that because it was the first hour I had my phone...
But for the screen fix, try to see if you can find a lower price. Doesn't hurt to continue searching the web.

LG will not give you a quote. They will only say, "We cannot give you a quote without you sending it in. Please send the phone in to us, with you being responsible for shipping, and then once we've had a chance to look at it, we will let you know the cost of the repair."
Even after I pushed saying how about the front lcd and digitizer, they still wouldn't give me an estimate.
Sam Thing happened to me.. just 1 crack but half the touchscreen doesnt work.. i've seen plenty of ppl with cracked iphones whose touch still works.. called lg and they told me the same thing. Don't know if its worth wasting money on shipping just to find out they charge more for repair.. kind of a risk. Did you ever end up getting it fixed?
So was it worth not having a case?

In US is something like $140...in UK I will let you know on Friday when I receive the quote
That really sucks... Something about these new phones, in particular the ones with the new touch sensor in glass or whatever they call it. The touch response is gone on a crack. I recall my first Droid had two cracks across the entire face and it worked flawlessly... I think I'd rather have that 1mm gap in the display/glass then have to replace it due to a simple crack.

Ouch that really does suck
Hope you get it fixed pretty soon
knock on wood, i hope i don't drop it, i have butter fingers too, i did let it slip once but i had the usb cable in it still and it only fell like 2 foot on soft wooden floor, if you drop it from your pocket( 4ft >) and it hits hard floor like cement, its a goner i think!

I went out tonight to a movie. I put my phone in my pocket when I left the house, took it out once to put it on vibrate at the start of the movie then took it out of my pocket again when I got home. The phone was the only thing in that pocket, so it's not like it was up against my keys or anything.
The phone was intact when I put it on vibrate so while it was in my pocket at some point during the movie or the ride home is when it got cracked.
It seems that the part of the glass that's cut out for the loud speaker got pushed in enough that the glass around it gave way and shattered. I don't remember bumping it on anything or it being jostled in any way, just a typical movie and drive home...
I have insurance on it through Tmobile but I may try and call LG directly first to see if they will do anything considering I didn't drop it or really abuse it in any way that I can think of...
So let this be a warning to you if you have one, be careful about that part of the phone. Maybe be careful to put it facing screen-side-out in your pocket so the back speaker cut out can't be bumped...
The glass around the speaker grill is entirely shattered with cracks spider webbing from it to all 4 corners of the screen. The cracks going to the top are hard to see in the pictures, but their there.
Anyone have any comments or suggestions about contacting LG, or anything else about it?

That does not seem like Gorilla Glass anymore. Don't think I've ever heard of a phone just magically breaking without any kind of impact.
How the hell did that happen in a pocket? Hmm
I don't think that the backside of the phone is made from gorilla glass, only the screen. But you still should contact LG, because no way it should blow up like that.
Hope that they change it for you

I was babying this phone as much as possible, it was the only thing in that pocket and I made sure not to use it when over cement or anything in case it did fall.
But this happened while it was INSIDE my pocket, I even had to empty some of the glass shards out of my pocket when I noticed what had happened...

There are no cases. And I agree, I don't see how this could sporadically happen. You had to have had some crazy luck here.
Back pocket? Were you sitting on it?
OK am just not buying the km magic scratches happening on their own or a big crack happening without it being CX caused. These things do not happen on their own..
It looks just like it got sat on, what else could push the speaker through to crack it like that..

Haha, no skinny jeans, and it was in my front left pocket.
There was no stress at all that I can think of. When I took it out of my pocket at home to text someone the back felt rough and I thought something was on it, but when i turned it around to look I saw it all cracked. I was 100% surprised to see that considering how I had babied it all night and I didn't even use it the entire night.
There was no case because none are sold yet. When I bought it the store said they would be getting the cases (bumpers I guess) in stock next week, I was going to call them Monday to see if they had any yet, and I still will but I don't expect them to get any until mid week.

Front pocket, and no sitting on my side, just in a movie theater seat then my car seat.
I wish I could just "not buy" it too, but it happened....
Like I said in my first post, it looks like a typical crack you would get from tempered glass when the stress point is hit, and it looks like around that speaker cut out is a stress point. The thing is, it wasn't hit, bumped, dropped, or anything else like that.
If you were the insurance company or LG I would understand not trusting me, but why do I have to gain by not telling the truth here?
Chances are you can just exchange it under warranty, not insurance.
You must have had very tight pants on man..

maybe it got stressed when it was up against the seat, like the side or something. just a guess. or maybe someone else hit it by accident without you knowing in the theatre? or you yourself did unknowingly? it is dark in there...

Hi all,
i just get back my p880 after replacement screen since the dust under the screen, but guess what?
It happened again just for 1 week.
i did write a email for them.
Hi,
I wanna make a complain on your flagship product !
last week(roughly Nov 27) i did collect a unit P880 after screen replacement due to dust under the screen. However after 1 week, it still happen again !
This is a quality issue on this unit! and i am not the only 1, my girlfriend also having same problem from day 1, and mine too.
Before sent in , i did ask your staff! your staff say no, this isnt quality issue, so far i am the only 1. i take it at that time.
But when i get back my phone, and this happened again in just 1 week !
And i did research ! i am not the only 1.

Too bad, i dont have a pro camera right now. and also hard to capture by camera.
and i believe those p880 with this issue will be more dust after certain usage.
just 1 week, there are 2 medium dot under screen. from my exp last times, about 1-2 month, there lots of dust and big 1.
really make me so sad. what a product with this stupid issue!
i have the same issue too but its really slight. the dust are hardly seen under normal usage and only when the screen is off and im looking for it.
not something very irritating but yea, it shouldn't be there. btw my Optimus One had this problem too but it was really a thick dense line of dust from the bottom left corner of the screen.

i know where is it, and send before. i post here that because i believe it will happen again after second service.
previously i emailed, they said sent to their service center.
in the service center i asked,and they said no this quality issue on other p880. what i feel is nonsense, just other people lazy go for it.
And purposely go there for same problem, i am quite unhappy, because wasting my time to go and back.
And they just replace the window glass, i dont think can fix permanently, since this is a common issue for most people, wasnt?
Hello I have the same issue, in my P880 I saw specs of dust two days after of purchase, now 2 months later I have many specs, some are very annoying at sunlight. Sadly in my Country I do not have technical support from LG.

How i' fixed one dust dot.
Hello
Today i noticed white dust point between my screen and glass of phone... and.. i was pissed off!!! because phone is one month old!
Tried to calmdown ... but every time when i looked on the screen i saw nothing but that white dot...
So... i don't take any responsibility for this "tutorial" on damaging your glass or screen or phone...
So... turn off you phone ... using your pointing finger make speed hard taps on dust area with little bit bending of whole phone.
With this method i managed to move dust point from middle of screen to bottom edge of screen... and with more bending and taping on edhe area
dust spot is disappeared. (it took me 2 minutes of tapping)
I konw it sounds crazy but it worked and i'm happy again

Ok, so pretty much just as I did with my iPhone 5. Had the HTC One since last Friday, I have protected it so well however.....
I was just about to get out of the car and slotted the phone into my shirt pocket under my jumper, got out of the car and slap, the phone obviously wasn't in my pocket, hence it was on the pavement. Soooo gutted right now.
Damage to 3 corners of the back case, front is perfect luckily and the screen is undamaged at all. All works perfectly, however I am sooo annoyed with myself.
Will post a picture up in a bit, I will sell this on now and get another I think. Any idea of what it's worth? Sim Free bought from Phones 4U.

Btw, we see the advantage and disadvantage between Iphone 5 and Htc One here.
Iphone 5 gets stratched very easily. HTC One does not.
But on the other hand, they take dropping better than HTC One, both will suffer stratches but HTC One is more fragile that Iphone 5 it seems.
Well based on what I have seen I could easily say that nokia n8 still has the best anodized case to date. That thing is just so hard you can't even scratch it easily even if you hammer it with a knife.

Sorry for your drop test, maybe pics useful to case manufacturers,
I was risking going without case before but not any more.
Just got to find a case I'm happy with, the official flip case has not had good reviews.
that was fast
24 hours, slipped out my hand when bent to tie my show, 2 feet off the ground it landed flat on the ground. Shattered.
I want to blame myself but this wasn't an epic slip, I guess there's a magic spot you dont want to hit if this thing falls but if its that easy I think alot of people are going to be doing the same.
Maybe someone at support is having a good day, doubtful. I can;t buy another one tho if it breaks so easily. I've never actually cracked a screen before.

i have dropped my GS3 face down while riding a bicycle and it's fine. Then probably 20 times in a similar instance to just now all i have on that are some some scraches.
Trying to get in touch with LG see what they charge for screen replacement, a post on the LG G2 forum says $105 plys shipping.

If that's accurate that isn't too bad! I know when I cracked my Galaxy Nexus screen last year I just called Google and they sent me a new phone, charged me the full price of the phone, then when I returned my broken one they refunded all but $100. It was a damn good deal in my opinion. You might want to give that a try instead of dealing with LG.
No one to blame but yourself. That sucks though.

Ouch. I cracked my Nexus 4 screen 3 times. Sent it o LG every time lol. The last time I sent it, they actually just fixed it for me for free, which was really nice of them.
Anyways, if it really no a $105, this isn't bad. It was around $150 to fix the N4 each time I cracked. The digitizer was literally right on the glass in the Nexus 4, so even the smallest chip could render the entire screen unusable. As was what happened to me.
Nexus 5 has Gorilla Glass 3. I really hope that makes a difference.

Gorilla glass prevents scratching, not cracking.

I usually run totally naked. I love the feel it. With anything on it just seems as if it is not necessary.
On that note, i have never dropped my phone.

If that's accurate that isn't too bad! I know when I cracked my Galaxy Nexus screen last year I just called Google and they sent me a new phone, charged me the full price of the phone, then when I returned my broken one they refunded all but $100. It was a damn good deal in my opinion. You might want to give that a try instead of dealing with LG.

I got google Nexus support on the phone and went the "come on do me a solid bro" route. The guy at google put me on the phone so I guess he asked someone, but he said he couldn't do anything. I'm on with LG now to find out the price. Maybe try google later and will get lucky.
LG says $40 - $100 depending on extent of damage. LG tech said the digitizer is attached to the screen and very hard to separate. But total turnaround time is 5-7 business days, from time they receive the phone, evaluate repair charges, confirm cost with me and do the work. That's impressive. I could probs sell the thing broken to some of the impatient fanboy nut jobs out there.
Had the nexus 4 for almost a year and dropped it a dozen times from various heights (even shoulder height, and 6' tall) and not crack. Then two weeks ago it fell off my chair about one foot and cracked the bottom of my screen and rendered part of it unresponsive. So it just depends on how it falls. It could fall a hundred times or just once.

Oof, that's too bad! I'm trying very hard to baby mine so far, will be ordering a tempered glass screen protector and a case some time this week. I think the glass screen protector will be enough to prevent a cracked actual screen, so the case is just for situations where I'd want some extra protection (say, hiking, or going to a state fair, etc.). I used a tempered glass screen protector on my Galaxy Nexus for a long time, and it saved my actual screen twice (screen protector cracks, real screen underneath was fine). Best $30 I will ever spend on phone accessories.
Pic or it didn't happen.
I shattered the screen of an iPhone 4S that I dropped down a flight of stairs (on accident?) and ran over an EVO 4G with my car when it slipped out of my pocket getting in. In both incidents neither phone was in a case, and in both I absolutely was to blame. You stay calm and carry on, as the kids say.

You can tell his screen is cracked because his shift key doesn't work anymore.
The plastic they used on Nexus 5 is very very soft. I mean the bezel cannot provide any protection to the screen when it falls on the sides.
Kudos to ASUS for producing such a robust product.
Last October (Halloween to be exact) my family and I went the local Science Center (my son's favorite destination) for the kid's Halloween party. I of course brought my N7 to stay occupied while he soaked up SCIENCE & FUN...
After a long day, we head home stopping for dinner. As I go to load my son into the car after dinner, I put my N7 on the roof....
As we travelled up the interstate we heard a weird whistling noise that lasted for 10 minutes or so before "going away"....
At home I realized what must have happened....:crying:
Flash forward to last week...I get a call.
The guy :angel: on the other end asks "did you lose a tablet?" YES!....Holy Cow...you can't be serious....
Seems he plugged it in and a little while later it was able to boot to the lock screen where I had my contact info....
We set a time to meet and I got my N7 back. :highfive:
I plugged it in and what do you know, it seems to be fine.
N7 (no sleeve, no nothing) in a zippered 2-up CD case I had lying around...survived flying off the top a car at 70mph....almost 6 months outdoors....IOWA winter....sub-zero temps...snow....ice....rain...
Only damage: 1" piece of the silver trim on the bottom right corner is broken... WOW!
That's crazy man lol

Pretty sure it's the latter. How it didn't get wet I'm surprised at, I wonder if they've had the tablet sitting around for a while and just now tried to power it up or something.

Wet...I don't know... inside the zippered case was damp for sure as the ink bled on the couple of pages of paper I had kept with the N7.
You were Super Lucky.. Dealing with asus is NO FUN
I think you were just very lucky. There were including myself many thousands of people have major issues with the screen cracking and breaking on the nexus 7 when it came out.. The first one i bought. Came in the mail after waiting and waiting took it out of the box and the screen was not secure on the device. I held it in my hand and the screen crushed under my thumb. It took months to get my money back. at that time they were NOT Doing exchanges .
anyway Just my two pennies be careful next time your not likely to be so lucky. Mine is kept in a BOB J Gear case . i have seen all over about the same issue with the nexus 4 phones
Thanks for your story....

First thing I did when I got it back was to buy a rubber/silicone case to help protect it...
G/L with your new toy!
:laugh: lol
attach her some rollers and you can use it as a multimedia skateboard
:laugh:
that's awesome, nice to know it.
i wonder if 2013 version can do same things. honestly, i don't want to test my device in such way )
That is incredibly lucky.
Unfortunately mine fell off the sofa from less than 3 feet high on it's side and the screen cracked to such an extent that it no longer responded to touches.
That's luck nothing to do with build quality haha the original Nexus 7 didn't have too much of a great build quality especially with the screen coming out on some devices.

Yeah the Nexus 7 was a good device if you didn't have to RMA. But apart from the screen being faulty, there was a bad EMMC which cause slow crawl speeds on the tablet until 4.3 implemented FSTRIM automatically at a certain battery threshold. I just ran it via script and I didn't have any problems none the less.

I must have been extremely lucky too in that I never had any of the problems others seem to have had with the 2012 N7...
Needless to say I have been babying it since I got it back
I guess that really demonstrates the usefulness of a decent case for it.
Any device that falls you have a 50/50 chance of the screen cracking. I know my old thunderbolt I dropped it many times and the screen didn't crack. Then that one day it fell just right and the screen shattered. Maybe one day they can make a screen that's shatterproof but if they did we wouldn't buy new replacement devices lol. I wouldn't say I am very careful with my tablet but I have dropped it a few times and so far it hasn't cracked yet.
