the dumbest thing happend @ work today dont know how . but i took fone out of pocket and scren was broke. crack line right across the middle. like it was bend and broke or something. =(. sad face indeed.
really peeeves me off =(. is it easy to replace a screen yourself. or should i just pay someone to do it. also im in nz so may not be so easy to get... worth the price. or just retire this unsupported device and get a s3 galaxy or something?
So same thing happend with me

NO!
There's the glass (digitizer) and there's the screen, do you still have a picture when turning on the phone? I broke my digitizer once and was still able to use the phone, screen still working and touch too, but with cracks on it. You might want to check out this thread about digitizer repair, I did it myself and found it quite easy. There are some Youtube videos that explain taking the phone very well.

Got it -- it is Just the Digitizer. Not worth my time to fight it for $10.00. Don't buy it. Its Not a replacement LCD.
UPDATE: Maybe not such a good deal. It may not be an LCD screen. Don't buy one yet. I will post what it is when I get mine.

I couldn't believe this price so I bought one. I realize they come all the way from China but $10.00.
I'm thinking with this I can go without a screen protector and if I scratch it, I can replace it.

I'm pretty sure that is just the digitizer. It does say lcd so you should at least get your money back . You'll probably lose shipping though.

Hmm really?
In the description of the auction in Giant font it says:
Conteent:
LCD screen display X 1
T6 screwdriver X 1
Opening tool X 1
I'll see what I get. I don't think he can advertise it as LCD screen display if that's not what it is. I've had other auctions that were misrepresented and the shipping is refundable if it was falsely advertised.
Thanks!
seems to me too its just a "digitizer", bro! thats just a clear plastic screen that goes OVER the actual LCD and you can see it in the picture.
however he DID say LCD screen so you could try it out. although i highly doubt it bec. everything is pictured and there are no LCD screens anywhere on there.
oh well, theres always paypal REFUNDS!
So, what did you end up getting?
Hi All,
Can any one from Pune or near by Pune tell me any vendor for good screen guards for Gene. The one which came with my Gene was awsome and lasted for one year or so..after that i have tried some 3-4 new guards but they develop scraches too quickly. Does any one know any particular types to ask from shopkeepers.
Also i read some where that cold lamination should not be done. Will it harm the screen?
Apart from the screen guard if any one knows some other accessory or way then please help.
Thanks in anticipation.
No replies
Hmmmm....really started wondering whether i have asked a wrong question/wrond thread or broken some forum rule?? If that is the case i am sorry, i thought screen guard was an accessory.
Or seriously no one knows any thing in this regard?

Its extremely difficult to get any accessory of HTC products in India .
If Pune has a RT Outsourcing branch, please try there.
I hate that bout HTC
@Addicted : Thanks for replying man!! Its really drag that we dont get originals for HTC in India. I had a hard time finding one good pair of earphones, once when i lost my earlier ones. I thought of buying some bluetooth stereo headphones but now thanks to Karan i will have a 3.5 mm converter for the same .
So coming back to the topic, what most of you do?? use local ones? or any thing different? some special cover or something.

Can you tell us the cost of the same (well, all screen guard for touch screens are the same, as far as I know ). Also, from where did you buy it (I mean road side hawker, nokia authorized dealer, whatever).
I am asking this because I gifted my extra screen protector to someone (totally unworthy )
Thanks
i got a Chinese film for screen in my local market .it worth only 50 rs.
it got scratch but its too cheep u can change it every 10 days.
in rs 50 film u can use approx 80 times so i think u can change when u think it got scratched.
cut this film in middle by its width and cut the length u wnt to cover
it will be give u best fit with no bubbles .
You can use O2 mini Screen Guard for Gene, in my country it only USD 2,5.
Do we need any specific type?
In my 'City' no HTC accessories are available LOL.

Hey deepv84...in what name do you get this film...it seems to be good... If for 50 Rs u have got that complete roll shown in your pic.
Screen protectors for HTC phones are available in almost all shops in the sector-18 market Noida. Your best bet would be to go to a shop which advertises HTC phones outside them. They are sure to have most accessories. I have seen atleast 2 such shops in the Atta market Cost : approx Rs 100.

Dont use that film much buddy, it damages the touchscreen slowly. Trust me when i say that. i have seen a person's screen go berserk when he was removing it for applying a fresh one, and he was taking utmost care at that time. But somehow, the upper layer of his screen came off with it from many places and touch sensitivity gone.

Jeeez... Thanks Krazy... I almost went for this one i got a similar thing in Pune for 100 Rs... but now i wont apply that...
The problem with the screen guards in pune is that some how i am no able to find the originl HTC screen guard. It was quite sturdy...after that one i have changed some 4-5 local screen guards...
I will keep on finding them tough...
i m using default that come with box but it's nasty, it got lots scratch , in mumbai in Local train u get it for 10 RS but got for good one which cost u around 250-300 is does not get scratch itself and make gene more sexy
take a look @ http://www.scratchgard.in/productdetail.aspx?cid=10&scid=0&bid=23&pid=145
@ Ankit: Would have to say...looks good in the description...will check in the stores if available..

Hello,
I dropped my i9000 Yesterday, and unfortunately the glass over the navigation buttons smashed (it is still fully functional and the screen is not broken)
is it possible just to replace the outer glass, and if so how much would it cost?
cheers
they sell these sort of parts on ebay im not sure if they will have what your looking for,
there is a guy on here called 'iammodo' he does repairs on the SGS.. he may be able to give you some advice... just put his name in the search bar.
hope u get it fixed

At work checking XDA lol.
you can replace the just the Glass with skill and luck but would void the warranty as the ebay part would be a fake.
As the offical part is most of the phone you only save the mainboard really.
If your in blackpool or by blackpool PM me and im sure we can sort something out.
Hey,
I did the same thing, got a replacement off ebay... the install isnt too bad... you just have to be SUPER SLOW when you take off the original screen from the navigation buttons (the buttons are like a sheet of wire which has been glued to the screen, removing is slow)
To be honest, i have replaced my screen a total of 3 times... The first time the screen replacement had a pink hue to it... I emailed the seller and he shipped a replacement which was fine... then i dropped the phone again and that stopped working, so i got a third which has been fine for the past 3-4 months.... well i guess it has been four times cause i replaced the second screen with the pink screen so i could have a working phone... then replaced the pink screen with the final good screen again.
but yes. the replacement screens on ebay are pretty cheap... a word of warning though, they are NOT gorilla glass, so no protection against scratches. and i am not sure if they are SAMOLED screens or not. they might be just lcd?

iammodo and makfoto thank you for your reply. i am situated in pakistan so i guess i have to ship my SGS or something.
Well, inspite of the toughness guarantee of the guerilla glass, the screen of my Galaxy S cracked when it fell down. Is there a way in which I can just replace the glass cover of the screen instead of changing the whole display which would cost a lot!!
Any links to where I can buy the glass and the procedure to install it would be really helpful..
Thanks in advance!!
It's unfortunately not possible, you can only buy a whole display&digitizer part :/ ... I heard some guy did it, he heated it and then he somehow detached these parts apart but I think it's not possible to do it at home :/ ... and I don't think it worth to buy that part individualy, I would rather buy some used SGS from ebay, use display and digitizer and then for example sell the other parts ...or buy some broken SGS with screen&digitizer in good condition for noticeably better price

The display and digitizer in our phone is one piece. Sad thing, but it is not possible to split them apart.

I'm thinking of a new phone.. but that won't be until Oct-Nov at least... maybe the next nexus phone.. will have to use my Sammy until then..
so... i had a little dust underneath my screen and there was some space between screen and housing of my phone (sorry didnt know how to say case from phone so i said housing) . so i send my phone to lg and i have to pay 375 euro.... and my screen isnt even damaged so if u ever have a broken button or gap in the housing of the phone be prepared to pay 300+ ;/ waited a week for nothing and have to pay 40 euro for sending my phone and getting it back :/
U can disassembly it by Yourself, is simple and quick.. i cleaned mine months ago for the dust, just follow youtube tutorials, and also u can find the Glass display for something like 25€

ty il try that
same as mine, I already cleaned twice my lg because of dust under the screen, but dust just keep coming again..
My phone just returned from lg and it was repaired for free. Did you had stock Rom installed? Did you unlock the bootloader?
Well i flashed kdz files back to 4.0 but i did not relock the bootloader.

Well, you are not smart. A new phone costs about €250 right now. For that money, you could have bought a newer and better phone.
i didnt do it im just saying lg wanted me to pay that price ;p
