Hey guys... I have a HTC Sensation XL imported from Sweden. It's back cover is broken and it is always making creaking sound while on call. I tried sticking it with fevistick but that will seal the sim and battery forever. Any Recommendations?

I have had my XL for a few weeks, kept mostly in the pocket. Today I have noticed a nasty hairline scratch on the display. It was left on the counter face down a few times but so were my considerably older Sensation and EVO 3D and not a mark on them. Looks like HTC ran out of Gorillas for the XL...
Anyway I would suggest to proceed with caution and use a screen protector at least.
Input from other XL owners re display glass durability would be appreciated.
Yeah I had the same problem, I wear a earring and after answering a call I noticed a small scratch on the glass as well, I've used a lot of phones and this has never happened to me before, not happy about it, guess its my fault I should have put a protector on before this happened oh well

I left my sensation xl face down on my work desk in order to find what I could only describe as random scratches on this devices screen. I'm tending not too be too bothered about this phone now as I really preferred my GS2. This doesn't seem as good as the hype shop owners built up for it and I can't wait until some immense phones are released next year

Yup my phone was dropped on a rubber carpet from 0,5 m height and then on the floor and sadly the glass got broken even though the frame didnt get any scratches what so ever. I thought Sensation XL had Gorilla Glass and I found out the hard way that HTC forgot to put it on..?
XL is turning out to be a major disappointment with it's gorilla-less display glass, low resolution and lack of a memory card slot. Other than that it would be a dream phone.

Well to be honest, mine has no prob with the scratches at or, I even tried to add the pressure on the screen with a pocket knife. But thank anyway for the warning, buying a screen protector...
Yeah I too have been a victim of this non-gorilla glass idea they seem to of liked for the Sensation XL? ... even though the screen is one of the biggest on the market, but is left vulnerable with standard glass :\
I dropped mine from around 2feet, it landed face first as it is front heavy and as I picked it up I revealed the small cracks which later have grew into bigger cracks.
Annoying thing is, I have looked everywere too get hold of a new glass and can't seem too find one? Any help would be much appreciated. I would send it too Three (my contract provider), but they said it could cost up too £100 and if I decline the offered repair charge the would charge me a default fee of £20.
Not happy at all.
Hi all. I damaged the bottom speaker grill on my M7. Is it worth it and easy to replace?
How is it connected?
Also is this a genuine OEM part? http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-top-cover-and-bottom-cover.html
They should be genuine yes. Heat the grill up, being careful not to overheat the phone and melt anything, then prise off the grill (its glued on), replace with the new one and press it down hard. Ideally you need to clamp it down until the glue sets otherwise you will have a large gap, use a strong bulldog clip or a clamp of some sort.

I scratched mine on the bottom speaker grill two days after i bought it also trying to find a way to replace the grill.
Just a heads up. The top speaker grill with the sensors in it is screwed from behind on one corner. Only the bottom one is able to be removed with heat. In addition, the speakers are mounted in the frame from behind, So you will need to remove the chassis (which you will not do without damaging the housing.
So anyone attempted this yet?

i have both covers here now, luckily the bottom one looks glued, as there is nothing to screw it, but the top one is definitely screwed it has a piece with thread on it to attach a screw.. luckily for me my bottom one is damaged more than the top..
so has anyone removed a bottom cover?
Hi i was able to remove my HTC One M7s Back with 3 Guitar picks by first sliding out the volume button, Then sliding it along the frame and clamping it so it didnt close where needed my HTC One M7 Came silver now its almost fully blacked out will post pictures after full restoration of body and screen.
Has anyone had to replace speaker top and bottom? Mines all distorted dust I think...plus I tried cleaning it with an airline ? I've seen them on eBay n Amazon just wondering how easy it is?
viperd m7 409.11 elemental kernel= one happy flasher.
Both of my speakers ended up being blown from a reckless night with some friends. I sent it in through my carrier and it was covered by warranty. Took about 7 business days and got it back working perfect
Edit: I'm not sure about replacing it yourself though. If you are covered by warranty I highly recommend sending it in.

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.

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.

for the covers, depends on colour, but heres an idea:

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.
Is it hard to change just back cover?

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
Using the C942 cover for my M8 and love it!
However, after 2 months of using, I have already 2 creaks on the bottom part of the cover.
Is this normal or bad luck?
