yea so none of the touch screen works people are tellin me it's gonna be 200 to fix so i might just buy a new one of wait till the google i/o just to see whats up . . it didn't fall too hard either though and i had a ringth slim case on it guess those don't really help all that much. using a backup iphone 3gs i.can't.live.like.this.
Oh man that sucks bro... I think slim plastic cases like that won't do anything if dropped... You needed some rubber.

I've been using the same case as you since December, and have indeed dropped the phone quite a few times. Fortunately, my screen survived. You got really unlucky there.

LCD cracking is pure luck. It all depends on which part took the impact. Your phone will most likely survive if it falls flat on a flat surface. If the corner hits, it'll most likely break.
I have seen phones survive 6ft drop and also seen broken phones from a 1ft drop.

First open it up and disconnect-reconect the digitizer plug from the main board. Maybe it just moved a little after the crash.
But yeah, even if it works you still have cracked screen so you will still have to fix it anytime soon.

Those plastic slim cases will not protect your phone, at all. At most, they provide a grip to your phone and prevent scratches from everyday usage.
I would advise on getting a TPU case in the future.

I broke mine like that, sent it to LG repair shop in Texas (have to contact them and get a return code first) and they ended up just giving me a replacement unit. Was nice cuz I ended up with a more solid phone, has the little nubs and all (it's a rev 10 though). Pretty much like getting a brand new phone and I was only charged like $160. Just make sure to back up your pics and stuff to your PC prior to sending it in, in case you get a new phone. I was quite happy.

I just received my nexus 4 yesterday and immediately noticed that there was a gap between the bezel and side of the phone. This gap is only on the left side of the phone and is directly below the volume rocker. This phone came like this right out of the box.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

You can ask Google to let you keep the device until a replacement arrives.

I think I read somewhere that they have available Nexus 4's set aside specifically for RMA. A plus is you can keep your phone till you get the new one.

I just called Google and they're issuing me a replacement. The only downside is there's going to be a Nexus 4 hold charge on my credit card.
That aside the procedure is they're going to sent me a device and I'll suppose to return my device when i received it.
Lol, people can easily abuse the RMA by RMA a issue-free Nexus 4 device and selling it/get another.

That isn't an option. If you look at the pictures I posted, the plastic next to the volume rocker is actually pushed out about 1mm. If it was still sitting flush with the bezel then I would probably could have just pushed it in.

Old defect nexus 4 gets remotely deactivated when you start using new phone. It is specially mentioned on Google support website that Google may deactivate defective/stolen phones remotely.
But this can't be true until someone take a risk of 350 bucks and blacklist their own Google account. Mind you Google orders are with Google account, if we don't follow their rules we maybe forced to give them up.

Couldn't agree more, my galaxy note has been retired to backup device, luv the tablet, a wee bit disheartening about the screen but that should be fixed soon.
Mine also has screen lift issues. I got mine from Walmart and bought their two year warranty (got 10% off my purchase so it was like buying it from anywhere else) so I'll just keep using it until it gets real bad and then get a replacement.

Dunno on the batch no but my nexus with the problem is 32 gigs
I bought the nexus at launch and went through three devices with such bad screen lift I could fit a dime under them. Gave up and decided to wait until Christmas - the one I just got is much better but the left side still is flush with the bevel. I'm just gonna keep it, I'm sick of returns. Last Asus tablet I'll ever buy that's for sure.

if you can put a nail between it then yeah you really need to return it, my problem comes and goes as it seems a bit...."moody".
I have a few friends with 16 and 32gb nexi and they haven't had the problem. I bought the first batch of 8gb ones
This issue has been going on since the tablet came out. It's really sad to see that asus hasn't fixed it yet. I'll be waiting until someone else makes a nexus tablet, i'm done with asus. They are dead to me

For the record, I have a day 1 Nexus 7 with some minor screen lift that has not gotten worse at all. Some spongyness on one tiny part of the screen and that's it.
It's up to you Op. If minor screen lift is the only issue with the device you could always run the risk of replacing it with a device with more issues. If it bothers you enough, definitely try and get a device that is perfect. But if you only noticed the screen lift with a microscope due to the nuttiness that is these forums, you might be OK with what you have.

Ur quite right, I got an xperia play last year that after an hour using touch screen would muck up, spent a month replacing it and wait in for a return on it only to find its really a problem with xperia play in general, and I would b running the risk of a worst one, it does annoy me tho but it is only an ocd way, I'm sure it wouldn't get worst as its not so much the screen lift in from the unit but the unit rising above the left side of the bezel. I'm pass in the shop in a few days anyway, might try one return, if it has the same problem just stick with it as I don't want to spend another month with the hastle of returns, and I do have the years warranty with it anyway but I do think I've a point that I could return it and get something worst,
Well, you can try this if you want, it worked for me.
I say break it send it in and get a new one
You could have used the search function, found one of the myriad of threads that discuss the **** out of this issue and posted in that rather that clutter the forums with conversation that has been talked about before.

So so gutted! Only had the htc one for a week and it feel out of my pocket onto my solid slate kitchen floor and well lets just say it couldnt have been a better face plant! Didnt even touch the sides...just face down slap bang on the floor!
Am I the first?
To top it off no insurance.......and no repair shops that either stock the parts as is so new out and if the tear down tests are anything to go by its a pig to even replace a screen! Just my luck.....only one thing I could do which is to get it repaired by htc.
Being shipped off tomorrow and im dredding the email that is going to rob me me of my hard earned ££££.
Anybody had experiance with htc repairs?

To try and replace that on your own would be nuts with this phone.
**edit** proof: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+Teardown/13494
You need a new LCD. You'll have to buy a combined LCD+digitizer. It'll run around $70-$80. Check phonepartsusa.com. Repair is going to be ridiculously hard, and don't attempt to do so if you lack the proper tools.

Just noticed your pictures aren't even of a One. Good luck. Same thing still applies, however.
Sent from my One using Tapatalk
K^ That. The digitizer is just the clear layer that registers touches, it doesn't actually display anything, that is solely the LCD panel of which yours is broke. While a digitizer is always cheap it's usually good practice to buy a combo just because of what a pain it is to replace JUST the digitizer.
But, that doesn't even matter because your screen is broke.and you need a new LCD. If you want to risk replacing it for this phone, God speed. It's notoriously impossible to tinker in.
EDIT: oohhh, you have an EVO 3D, Not a One, much easier to tinker in and I've actually done it a few times without issue but the screen might be more expensive since its a 3D panel. You'd be better off just replacing the phone then, honestly.

Was gonna say the same thing. I don't repair these professionally, but do it often for friends and co-workers. I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of device that is; It isn't a ONE, an EVO 4G LTE, or 1x, so I can't get you a price quote. But, I do know that these days, the screen assembly is one piece; it is possible to get a digitizer by itself, I suppose, but taking the device apart will be difficult enough without trying to remove the screen from the rest of the assembly. To me, it looks like an entire replacement is needed anyway. Long story short, probably be easier to get a new device, like the other guys said.....
Is that an EVO 3D? Oh god, the memories. I'm agreeing with others that it'd be easier to just get a new phone. However, if you really wanna try and replace it, this will be what you need.

ouch my nexus7 it slid off my bed apparently. I didnt see how it fell, it was in a case but it didnt save it. I heard the thud, turned and feared the worse. it goes across the screen so its rather large.
its the 2012 32 gb version. Is it fixable??? most of the screen doesnt work, i can touch the notification area and it responds, but no where else, so it is basically inoperable. I google some stuff about replacing the digitizer or the screen? or both? how would i know what I need?
on another note, its the 2012 version and i could probably use an upgrade on the 2014 or whatever the new one is. But i definitely would like to repair this and get a new one. I hate having to let go of stuff like this and would like to repair it.
Check out on ebay you have to change the glass, digitizer and lcd (too risky to change the glass+digitizer) its fairly easy. You can check outr some teardown on google too and youtube. Good luck

hmm thats a nice idea, i might find something like that locally here. well I ended up going on craigslist and looking at local ads of nexus 7, and I saw someone selling a nexus 7 16gb for $100. I emailed and asked if it was still available and how firm they were. They replied saying they can let it go for 80 if I come right now. I just returned about an hour ago with a 16gb nexus 7. I am currently in the process of rooting with a rom as my 32gb was. I still wanna fix my 32gb so I will try this idea or something similar.
Take the screen of the 16gb one and put it on the 32

hmm thats a nice idea, i might find something like that locally here. well I ended up going on craigslist and looking at local ads of nexus 7, and I saw someone selling a nexus 7 16gb for $100.

Check out square trade for a warranty as well. I've heard good things about them
So this would work with square trade? The idea of getting insurance on my nexus even though it is already broken?
Yeah if they don't ask to see it your fine

So I wouldn't have to show a receipt or anything? I'll definitely look into it!
I didn't with currys mate but that was because it was less than a year old

ouch my nexus7 it slid off my bed apparently. I didnt see how it fell, it was in a case but it didnt save it. I heard the thud, turned and feared the worse. it goes across the screen so its rather large.
its the 2012 32 gb version. Is it fixable??? most of the screen doesnt work, i can touch the notification area and it responds, but no where else, so it is basically inoperable. I google some stuff about replacing the digitizer or the screen? or both? how would i know what I need?
on another note, its the 2012 version and i could probably use an upgrade on the 2014 or whatever the new one is. But i definitely would like to repair this and get a new one. I hate having to let go of stuff like this and would like to repair it.

No wonder why ins. premiums skyrocket...it's because people do this kind of stuff. This is ins. fraud...plain, simple, cut, & dried. I also believe this is against the TOS of this site. Do it the right way and purchase ins. before something happens to your device

How is it fraud, I asked currys if they needed to see the tablet and they no because it was less than a year old they didn't ask if it had a broken screen and I've still got the insurance so there getting there money back anyway so think before accusing people of fraud

Its fraud because it was suggested above that insurance gets placed on the device AFTER there has been damage to the device. It was suggested that the insurance company wouldn't verify the condition...it's exactly what it sounds like...fraud.
