[Q] Help!!! cracked my screen

Help needed!! I just cracked my IS screen and now i can't see anything on it, i need somehow to view my phone screen using pc.
my phone is fully stock and i dont have root.
sorry for my bad english
what....???how,...??DUDE that's Gorilla Glass....anyways i don't think it would be covered in warranty though as it is a physical Damage..see if u have any hTC service centers near by and they repair it for u ..u might need to pay
If you have USB debugging enabled you can view your screen using the android sdk. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496213
Otherwise I think you're out of luck. There's a couple of threads about replacing the screen in the forum though.

Just by sliding it into his pocket!

Sorry about telling you that, but for that you need a new mainboard.
My red button is starting to feel soft or spongy. It doesn't "click" down like the other buttons when I press it. Which part do I need?

I need to replace my digitizer. It is almost dead. Just doing the power button trick where you keep hitting that red button until touch starts working again.
Anyone else doing that?
Well I've seen tutorials everywhere like on YouTube by it is so damn complicated. I'm sure I'm going to break it for good. Im using button Savior and the last thing I wanted to do is press that red button! I wish there is a power softkey somewhere.

Can I buy this :

even if it's a welded-junction digitizer on the assembly ??

Yes, this one have dgitizer and dysplay already assembly. Yes you can buy and its a good choice
I would like to do a review of the Digitizer I bought from the link the OP gave.
The digitizer itself is good and responsive, but the screen is not so high quality. It appears to be some plastic, and is not as scratch resistant as the original gorilla glass (could be easily fixed with 99c ebay screen protector). Good thing is, however, the screen should not shatter as easily as glass.

It's not that bad, I would recommend it since I've bought one that was worse.. the digitizer was a film (instead of the hard material) and the touchscreen was glitchy...

I use plastic/rubber cover for my ace, so it makes from my ace unbreakable/scratchable thing and you will never have to change the silver line

Hmm.... I don't actually think that it makes it "unbreakable" but saves your phone from many careless falls and bad in-pocket company such as keys or the like
I've mine with a combination of silicone/plastic cover and a screen protector too, although the latter is quite old and scratched but I don't want to peel it out yet until I can get myself a new one
I too had A LOT of scratches on it and decided too peel off the whole silver paint(or whatever it WAS) and now it looks better than before..I would post a screenie in about 2hours..

Battery covers

Hey all,
Does someone know a website where I can buy battery covers for my Ace? And with this I mean customs, nothing special, just a plain blue or red one for example, I'm kind of fed up with the standard black one.

It's the day after, and I already put it on my phone yesterday. With the hair spray it simply feels protected, it made the surface somewhat smoother, and gave my phone a weird scent, but that will fade away. Really happy with it, never thought the result would look this good. I'll upload a pic later, everytime I want to upload one now uploading fails

Here it is, still amazed by what €2,- paint and some hair spray can do ^_^.
It's about three weeks later and the paint still is doing very well. Some paint is lost around the edges because I had to take the cover off a few times and by moving the USB plug cover. The hairspray seems to tend to get loose either, but most is still on. It overall still looks great, except for some details as stated above
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
you should buy some 1k paint lacquer isntead of hairspray, would last longer!
Hey,
After having a blue back cover I decided I wanted something else. First I cut an Android out of paper and sprayed this gold on the blue base coat, which didn't look that bad, but since it's hard to cut something such small out of paper it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, so after a week I sprayed the complete back cover gold, which I think looks great!

HTC One Drop Test (Accidental)

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.

I feel sorry for your phone man. Anyway, does the back side of the phone the aluminium part i mean is easy to get scratches? I heard that iphone 5 the back side also using aluminium is easy to get scratches.
I don't think the back of the one will scratch easily. The back was the least damaged from that fall just a tiny nick that was all.

OK gotta be realistic here. Plastic are ugly but definitely it wouldn't cause those huge dents. That's the good side of plastic lol

tha was early. sorry bout your phone man. that a real pain with unibodies when dropped. i gues that why samsung sticks with the plastic bodies.
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.
