From ifixit tear down;
"The display assembly cannot be replaced without removing the rear case—this will make the most common repair, a damaged screen, nearly impossible."

I am afraid that the HTC One teardown on normally great ifixit site has since been discredited, I have seen another video showing a replacement using heat oven to remove that was far more successful. Don't have a link put be diligent with Google video search and you should find it.

Interesting, thanks for the correction.
Sad to know I must now fact check internet resources :silly:
Yeah, its technically possible to replace it yourself, but i the OPs case, I would recommend giving it to a repair shop and have them do it. Every video i've seen ends up in the plastic on the side becoming all chewed up.

Can't you remove the glass and replace it?
I've just seen...it's only the plastic insert that is broken is it not?
It's just a thin square of plastic, stuck down with some kind of non drying sticky resin

yes thats what ı need. the plastic insert that is broken
from where ı can find it? since one month I searching for it
This might sound crazy but...Take apart the device. Bust out the broken glass and just put all back together. Get a protective carrying case. Won't be an eyesore anymore and you can quit looking for that little piece.
and Leoni, are you selling the part or just showing off? HA.
Okay I found something that looks like it contains what you need.
I'm thinking you buy it. Remove what you want and sell the rest as is gently used.

Scroll down to where they have the pics in the listing. Second one shows one with glass over camera.
Or what about a dummy phone? They might use the same glass! And you'll have a toy!

beggers cant be choosers
Honestly I think the dummy phone purchase may be your way to go.
You would only be spending about $25-30 USD to have a possible fix.
If this part WERE available, I imagine it costing at least $10-20 USD.
Beggars can be choosers, but you just have less to choose from!
still could not find any seperate insert plastic ):
in fact I have same problem , the first crack appeared after two weeks maybe , then another one after next two weeks , look pretty shattered by now , but surprisingly pics still do come out al right
doesn't really affect the phone , just ruins it visually , and the funny thing is that HTC in the warranty agreement specified already that any external damage to the screen , camera , lens etc. is not covered by the warranty
I wonder if my phone brakes down for a different reason and I send it back , would they void it since I had the camera glass broken , claiming I was handling is roughly

you probably wont find something that small of a part being sold separately, so your best bet is buying the whole case listed before and using the part out of it, or swapping all your stuff over to it. Not expensive but probably all you can hope for unless someone is selling parts off.
broken camera glass
i also broke mine sent it back to htc and for £71.00 inc collection and delivery they replaced it it comes back wiped so back up first
71 pounds for a simple piece of plate-glass that can even be removed and reinstalled without opening the housing? That sounds fairly pricey to me...
And seeing that a lot of people are experiencing the same problem (including myself) wouldn't it be nice if HTC would recognise the design flaw and send out $0.05 pieces of glass to everyone needing one? But knowing HTC that is not gonna happen
I for one am thinking about grinding a thin piece of plexiglass into the right shape and using that. A replacement piece of glass is just going to break again anyway...
Hi
I dropped my phone causing the top glass part to broke. I ordered a replacement from ebay and now I need help fixing it.
Is there any video out there where it is shown how to change just the glass part?
I apparently can no post you a link as a new member so..
Search youtube for: LG P970 touch display screen replacement - Part Repair.
this is the kind of video that I think I need. Only with P880 being repaired, of course.
Thanks for your help!

Yeah I saw that one. Do I really need to do all that?
In that video they take everything off even the smallest thigs.
When they replace other phones glasses they dont dissamble nearly as much stuff.
But if that's what I'm going to have to do..

I'm affraid that needs to be like that. There is no way to connect it back in other way, in a safe mode of course.
I don't think you have to take apart the whole thing. Do it until the "frame" is seperated from the "front" and replace the "front", leaving the PCBs in the "frame".
Hi, I damaged my phone on the top so I am trying to replace the top speaker grill cover, I already have the replacement but I have no idea how to do it without messing my phone. I have investigated a lot and in the only teardown video I fount the top spekar grill seems to always be attached to the phone, and the ifixit guid has no information on this part of the phone. Please if anyone has done it or knows how to do this any kind of help would be useful as I can't stand to se my phone damaged no more.
Thanks

Good luck, from everything I have seen it is glued to the phone. YMMV but my guess you would need to heat it up, peel it off the phone and then figure some way to glue the new one on.
It looks like the speakers are step 17 in the link below and there are 19 streps shown to dismantle (at that site anyways).
HTC One Repairability Score: One out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair) I see How the HTC"ONE" got its name
HTC One Teardown
Very, very difficult (possibly impossible?) to open the device without damaging the rear case. This makes every component extremely difficult to replace.

Thanks!!! the thing is I dont want to replace my speakers I only need to replace the top front cover of the speaker, and I cant seem to find a tutorial to do that
asking questions in this section is against the rules. please use the correct section next time.
Moved to Q&A.
You are most likely not going to find any thing related to your speaker grill replacement. This phone is not meant to be and have user replaceable parts.
Even most of the pros won't touch it to replace parts, but they buy them to strip for parts to sell to people that want to attempt DIY repairs only to further destroy the phone.
If you do figure it out and everything is repairable, working, and looks new please post a guide.

HTC One Top Cover Replacement
Guys,
I am ordering the top cover (& bottom cover parts) from this site:
http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-top-cover-and-bottom-cover.html
My top cover has deep dink/dent since I dropped it from waist high to the floor (NAKED).
The replacement will arrive in 10-15 days from Today.
The top cover speaker grill is glued and screwed while the bottom cover speaker grill only glued.
I manage to take off the top cover by pulling it off and cut the screwed part. I don't want to open the screw since it can be only opened if you open the whole back chassis of the phone.
When the top cover part arrive, I will cut the screw part and just glue it to the phone.
Currently I am using my secondary phone which is the boring iPhone 5, it is still boring even with iOS 7 installed.
Will update the post with pictures and guides when the replacement arrive, wish me luck guys!! :good::good:

wow, thanks man!
Hi,
the touch screen of my Xperia V is broken and I'd like to replace it myself. It's not the first time for me that I repair a mobile device myself, but without a disassembly guide, it is difficult for me to identify the parts that are fixed by glue. I don't want to break anything that is still working.
I already found a russian video on YouTube, but it seems to me that the display is not taken apart from the other parts of the device.
Has anyone here done it before?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I've managed to remove the display. Mainly because it was really damaged ... heating the display and "bending" with a small tool.
It's really hard as the glue is quite strong. As my replacement screen is "on it's way" I'm not able to finalize the work.
I'm kind of stuck in the part when removing the "middle, plastic" part...
display is connected to body with really strong glue. Remember that it is impossible to remove old display without breaking it. Second thing is that with new display the phone most likely will not be waterproof

Hi! I broke mine last night. How did your repair go when the part arrived? I also could only find the russian video without the screen being removed
How hot did you have to make the screen? I was thinking of using an iron with a cloth around it.
Hi Folks, I'm curious to hear how others are going - I managed to break my screen this last week, Hoping to replace it but so far taking out that glass seems to be a tricky thing - any suggestions? How did the iron and cloth go?

There's no way.... You need to buy a new housing with the LCD and touchscreen built in, and then move all your bits over. That's why the russian video of the guy removing everything doesn't remove the screen.

I just ordered this: http://www.parts4repair.com/complete-screen-assembly-for-sony-xperia-v-lt25i/ I will see how that goes. I got tired of using my old SG1 so it's time to fix the V...
Good luck. Careful with the tiny, white antennae cable running from the main board to the bottom. I twisted mine a little bit too much and the connector popped off. I had to go get a new one with much difficulty.

I replaced the screen - had it working for two days and dropped it again - cracked screen, doesn't even light up.
I now have another replacement screen and a better case - at least now I'm getting quicker at taking the phone apart....

Hi this wont work, I went through the exact same issue, and its impossible to attach the new screen properly. your best bet is to try and find a second hand screen via ebay. it has to have the "housing part with it. otherwise you are wasting your time. it cost me so much to fix mine as I ordered two screens in the end I could have bought a new phone on special....
Try Ebay, and make sure you see the one with the screen and front housing on, I am unable to port the correct link on here as I haven't made 10 posts yet.
Search for the following on ebay : Genuine Sony Ericsson Xperia V LT25i front+digitizer touch screen+LCD display
This should let you find the correct screen
Look at the picture you will see the side housing for the front is also installed, the one you have ordered is the incorrect one as its only the LCD and the Digitzer, without the front housing that it gets "glued" onto. You can see the main difference where the earpiece is its shown as black, hence the mesh is there. that would be the correct one to order. Unless you have the means of getting yours glued back on the same way as the factory, I see you will struggle to get it done otherwise.
Hi all!
I bought a HTC One M7 with a cracked screen dirt cheap from a friend and am hoping to repair it myself and I've had a look around the q&a forums but anyone that references to genuine or "OG" HTC parts doesn't specify where you can actually order them from, I'd be looking for both speakers, lcd screen, digitizer and front speaker covers but am pretty unsure of which parts are actually legitimate on the internet.
Any help guys?
TIA

Screen repair here, fairly cheap and apparently 100% genuine, saves you a lot of hassle, i.e, breaking it apart and re-sealing it, plus the possibility of damaging other parts, also ring them and ask if they can replace the other parts for you.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Repair-Re...410?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19f93950c2
if not then the speakers are here, cheap as chips, you could always ask the LCD company, if you send the speakers with the phone, if they wouldn't mind changing them at the same time, it would take them 2 mins whilst they have it apart.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...m7+speakers&_nkw=htc+one+m7+speakers&_sacat=0
for the covers, depends on colour, but heres an idea:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Top-F...sPouches&var=460531438066&hash=item2594a951a1
All for less than £100, cant really beat that for the whole front end of the phone.
If you are going to replace the screen might I suggest you order an entire front housing with digitizer and screen and back housing. You will destroy your phones body when you open it. Order those parts and follow the complete breakdown and reassembly videos on YouTube. They are all good.

Personally I wouldn't take the risk of opening it all up myself, inside is extremely fragile and the motherboard connections for instance is as easy to rip in half as a piece of cloth, I destroyed a HTC Desire HD whilst trying to change the LCD and Digitalizer and the back of that was screwed on, the HTC One series is 10 times harder to open up.
Check this out for an idea of what is involved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVUAr5hLiEE
