The glass digitizer on my nexus cracked so I'm sending it back to HTC for repair. Since I'm paying for this repair, it doesn't matter if my phone's rooted or bootloader is unlocked right?
No it doesn't. That applies to warranty, since your paying, is not warranty

Hi, so I just bought a LG Thrill from someone off of craigslist. The only problem is the screen cracked pretty bad. Does anyone know if LG covers this?
P.S. I checked the site but a link to the warranty policy will NOT load for me--hence I would have otherwise done this on my own. Thanks!
Have you googled for replacement screens you can prolly get one for like 60 bucks and you tube how to replace it im sure its pretty easy

I'm pretty sure the 1 year warranty coverage will only cover it if you bought it retail and have a receipt for it

i send to lg to fix my broken screen and they charge me 42$
So my screen just broke and i'm in doubt between buying an aftermarket screen for about $20 and repairing it, or just say f*** this unstable piece of crap and buy the optimus 4x speed. So what would you do? Any suggestions for other phones? Any review on aftermarket screens? How easy is it to replace?
Thanks for your help and suggestions in advance,
Sincerely,
you're buying 4x? LOL you're buying a phone that doesn't have developers support, lock bootloader and no custom rom i visit 4x section sometimes but their development section is empty, i suggest send your o2x on lg to repair or search on youtube "how to disassemble optimus 2x"

It depends on how addicted you are to flashing roms. If you don't mind stable roms, and probably a very very slow 4.1 update, get the 4x.
If you simply need updates and the newest OS, repair the 2x. Honestly though, I think it wouldn't go as far as the 4x in terms of eventual updates, but still, it's nice to be able to modify your phone.
Yes i didn't notice the lack of custom Roms on the 4x this afternoon, so what phone would you buy? I mean the price of the 4x is awesome for the hardware you get, and if i'm able to root it i'm happy. But i also like to flash custom roms alot so do any of you know a good alternative instead of the 4x for the same pricE? Locked bootloader is kinda sucky .
I would really like to repair my 2x but i'm so tired of it and afraid that if i do change the screen i'll wreck the entire thing, and i'm not sure i wanna take the risk or just buy a new phone
Nexus 4. Don't know if it's cheaper or costlier in your country, but it's generally much cheaper. Beats the 4x easily in all fields, the only thing it lacks is a memory card slot. Availability is an issue at the moment, but if you can get your screen repaired for cheap now, then you can sell it after some time and get a nexus
I had the same problem. Repair the touch screen is very complicated, not because it's difficult disassemble the phone, but because the real display is glued to the touch screen with a particular clue. When you try to remove the display you can break it. It happened to me.
Repair and sell !

A couple of weeks ago I dropped my P990 onto asphalt and broke the glass. I taped it up using scotch tape to avoid glass splinters in my ears, and I'm just about getting used to all the cracks by now. I won't be trying to repair it, so I've got a nexus 4 on preorder. Hopefully it'll arrive before the tape crumbles...
Tl;dr: buy a nexus 4
This is a great reason to go get galaxy s3
Nexus 4! Don't bother with the 4x
They don't sell Nexus 4 in my country, because of LG, so yeah that sucks
I could get a Galaxy Nexus for about the same price
+1 for nexus 4 (except if you are addicted in slow updates and lg ui so go for optimus G(same hardware but i think quite costier))

Yeah but is it Gorilal glass? They say it's OEM in most cases, but don't specify wich type of glass this is. Last time i bought a replacement screen was for my X10 wich also was supposedly OEM but when installed i found out it was some kind of cheap plastic wich would never work comfortably as a touch screen. And it looks too complicated i would have to buy a hobby knife 3 sets of tweezer and a hair dryer only to switch the screen on my phone

They don't sell Nexus 4 or Optimus G in my country :'(
I broke the screen on my HD2, ordered one online for 15-20e , found a guy that repairs them, got friendly making mobile phones conversation and he changed it for 20e, sold the hd2 for 200e(I now regret it though) I would sell the o2x if course, it's nice but not the hd2. I actually am selling it

Me too, my screen was broken. I repaired at a workshop with 30 euros. The changed screen was old, taken from another phone ...
I also broke my screen and I had it replaced at a workshop. After the repair, the light sensor was not working so I had to return it to the workshop and wait another 3 day before they finally fix it.
The repair process including the new(?) screen was around 80Euro (~105$).
Get a new phone, upgrade excuse.
I got it replaced in a little Phone repair shop, they did a good Job, it cost 140 euro, but we got it back from ensurance because it happend on a holiday

As some people already said, it's the perfect excuse for getting a Nexus 4. You'll have a lot more support than with the 4X considering it's an official Nexus phone.
for those who need to replace, here the prices and link to buy the screen replacement
price on store

There's someone on XDA who sold the glass back. He said he got it directly from LG. Try searching the forums.

MIne just broken yerterday maybe I have to buy overthere :crying:
All the "screen cracked" threads I've read on the HTC One, none of them have any information on where to get a new screen replacement. I cracked my screen pretty bad but I can live with it. I read the thread where it's not hard at all to open this device up. However when I looked for a replacement it only showed the digitizer.I read that the digitizer and LCD are infused. Even if you try to seperateit you would damage it.
Now is it worth it cost-wise to buy a replacement and do it yourself (if you know what you're doing). Or is it just better to take it through insurance?

Depending on who you have for insurance, sending it to HTC might be cheaper than your deductible. Granted, you would be without the phone for a while, but if you have an extra phone that might be manageable. Last I heard, replacement panels were 130-150ish online. As to where to find one, I have no idea. HTC was/is replacing them for 180. Just some food for thought.
