Well I seem to be the first one to break ground here. I am now the owner of a BLU r1 HD with a smashed lcd. It appears to be disintegrating as I go. So first, those of you who like this phone, I highly recommend some kind of case and screen protector. Secondly, anyone know where one might get a cheap replacement screen? Looking at ebay I can see one for pretty much the price of the phone. If anyone knows where to get a part, it would be appreciated as I was starting to like this phone.

Seems kind of high priced though
Oh yeah, saw that one previously. It doesn't seem to be available and even so, at that price I may as well buy a new one. Thanks though.
Except you can't buy a second Prime phone of the same model as one that you have purchased before.
You can buy a 8gb/1gb if you already purchased the 16gb/2gb model BUT they are no longer are listed in Amazon site.
I've not no luck with the glass screen protectors. The outer extreme don't stick. Only using a TPU case.

My screen is cracked, and was wondering if taking off the glass and putting on a case with built in screen protector can work? Any ideas?
LCD is working fine, just the glass is broken...
The phone bent in my back pocket.
The LCD is not meant to be touched and is easily damaged. I would try to buy another prime phone from amazon. If you find that you can't, because it won't allow it at the prime price, call customer service and explain the situation. Offer to send them pictures of the serial number screen showing the broken glass. At $60, it's simply not worth repairing. I bought a spare one by having a friend with prime order it and have it shipped directly to me - so that's another option you have if amazon still won't sell you another one.

Does anyone know how much HTC UK charge to replace the housing (not the screen or battery cover) of a HD2?
I would like to get mine changed but HTC UK want me to send in the phone before they will give an price!
Ouch! I hope you like the results... I'm curious about the price of that too. It's a bit early, but you might find a parts-only phone with a smashed screen or something and a suitable body.
go to truesuppliers webpage they have them for 80.00

Do a google search before you buy there. I've read they sell cheap/poor quality stuff.
Looking too now. Mine has developed a crack that has spread from the battery slot to the edge of the screen.
i rang htc uk last friday asking about this. they said they could pick up the device next day. repair time would be 10 days. cost to replace all plastics (by this i assume they mean the main housing/battery cover. possibly the main body of the phone as well) £65. probably best to call them yourself to check that price. they said they would be in touch to let me know the price when the damage had been assessed by an engineer.
i didnt bother with this as my housing only has superficial damage so went looking for a good replacement. got one on order now. when it comes i'll post up a pic. check my thread for updates. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851273

My wife doesn't use hers. I can sell you that one.
how much do you want?
Got one too if that doesnt work out.
Are you talking about the one offered in T-Mobile stores?
If so, stay away. It fits very loose and because of it the phone slides around. During calls, the proximity sensor cant work properly so the screen goes on and off during calls. Your face will constantly hit buttons.
Im pretty sure i have the stock one for you .... I wont bother selling it to you you can just have it PM me
If you want the one that comes in the box just go into a T-mobile store I'm sure they would give you one out of a return.
Are they good? They're even advertised as "Genuine" for $7~8, but without the HTC logo at front / back.

Note: Yes, we know that not everybody likes the dot view case.

Here's the one with the HTC logo for a few bucks more.
Personally, I think it's the same exact piece of plastic. One just has a logo and a steeper price.

Guess what bro, those aren't genuine either even if they say so. If you look at the pics you'll notice that some don't have the htc logo
I have the genuine gray, I bought it when I've got the phone, but I'm curious about the quality of the ones they're selling for $8, that's it.
To be honest they look exactly the same but I would like a closer look. Sellers in Amazon claim that they're identical to the genuine with the exception of the logo.

I always stay away from unbranded stuff, but these called my attention because they look identical and there are more colors available
Don't put a 10cent case on a $600 phone.....spend the money on a genuine case.

Weirdly I got one on eBay for about 9$ sold as authentic and I figured why not get one to check out how much I like it and it was HTC branded. Although that could be faked.

I had an original dot view case that I purchased the week the M8 came out. I accidentally ripped the front from the back trying to stretch it to go over my glass screen protector. Back in July I purchased this one, http://www.ebay.com/itm/291190318285.
It doesn't say HTC and obviously an overseas knockoff. In my opinion it's much, much nicer than the OEM version. It will flip open all the way back easily and isn't near as springy. It also works with my .3mm glass screen protector, http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6100440084.html.

Don't use one of these cases for protection period. I can almost state with certainty that if you drop your phone on any kind of solid surface, it will definitely come flying out of these cases. In fact, if you clumsily open the case to fast the device will come flying out sometimes. That is in the original from Verizon. They offer some screen protection while in pockets or bags, but little to no drop protection & even in bags, the top & bottom of the device is not protected from scratches.
It was a little more than I remembered but it's 13$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/221503424128?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The pictures are of mine.
Beyond that I agree with the post above mine, the dot view case is very functional as an accessory but as a protector it's useless it pops out so easily.

I ordered this one last night and hope to see it in the mail sometime next week.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/12142505686...49&var=420362064890&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
And I also agree with the two previous posts. I bout the official case back in June and two weeks ago, it fell on a carpeted space and the phone flew out of it as well as the corners that secure the phone popping off. Since I enjoyed the functionality of the case, I ordered the above since spending $40.00 for something HTC will not stand behind (I tried to get them to replace it but was told they would not) was not something I was willing to do again.
I will report back pnce I get it.
I had the fake one with logo and the real deal case I got from a Verizon store. Felt the fake with the logo was just as good. So went to return the real deal case at Verizon. Turns out I mistakenly packaged the fake one and returned that one to Verizon(honest mistake). I had no idea until later when I took my One out of my csndyshell case and popped it in the dot view....So while I didn't mean to do that, I ended up with the real deal case. But honestly the fake one closed better than the real one. That is how close they are.
I'm on the Dot View case fence. I really like the concept but the reviews I've read have kept me from picking one up. Does the flap "loosen up" for lack of a better term after using it over time. What I mean is when open and flipped to the back does it start loosing it's springness that people complain about. I like hearing that the generic's seem just as good as the one from htc. I may just have to pick one up at the lower price.
I had an authentic one, and then recently bought one of those non-authentic ones.
As a direct comparison, they both look the same, but the quality is different. particularly, the dots' translucent level is very uneven, so you'll get random brighter vs darker patches
on the authentic one, all dots have consistent translucency
OME or Knock-off, I wish that someone would come out with one that snaps on decently (even if it used double-sided tape) and maybe wrapped in leather. The plastic makes the phone feel so cheap! I had the original. I have since misplaced it since I got a cheap otterbox knock off for now. Does the job, but I do miss the DotView for the cool factor.

I have an OEM Dot View case and love it. I spent about $15 for it on Amazon. HTC also updated Dot View to add more functionality. And I was surprised yesterday by the Halloween animations. I'm very impressed by it and glad I got it.
SoI received my case today in the mail and here are my findings:
1. The case closes just as well as the OEM one I had.
2. The plastic case itself feels a bit thinner that the OEM one but I like that since I felt the OEM one was a bit too thick and added bulk to the phone.
The "Seams are not as smooth as the OEM but I am going to try and use a nail file and see if I can't fix that my self
4. The "Springiness" of the hinge that is in the OEM is not present in this case as it was in the OEM
5. The cover does not lay flat on the back of the case when opened all the way but I think that is just due to the design of the case.
6. The case seeme to snap onto the phone as well as the OEM case did.
To me, the $8.00 I spent on this case is totally worth it. As a matter of fact, I might order myself a second one to have different colors to chose from. If you think about it, for the price of one OEM you can get 6 of these in different colors and still have $2 and change left over!
I posted some pics of the case but it's hard to see any details.
Hope this helps you guys make a choice.

I have D415, ordered S-line case on ebay. It doesn't fit right, slightly smaller than my phone. I wonder if its a defect or made for 405/410 models? Cutouts don't align properly and the case doesn't fit. I like the case. Its cheap and grippy. The screen protector that was included with it is not perfect edge to edge but it fits ok. Ordered another protector from a different seller and its the same fit. Looking for seller recommendations for good-fitting edge-to-edge screen protector and s-line case.
forgot to mention got my hands on the original ipod/iphone earpods. mic works great with this phone. I use it to record phone conversations on landline. For some reason the same earpods don't work with s3. Also earpod buttons can control some 3rd party camera apps. Something i discovered recently after playing with bt remotes.
Is the LG Optimus L90 D415 bigger than the D405/410? I just bought a case and it seems to be too small for my phone.

same here. The seller i bought from says its not for 415 and 405/410 are different. Seller has a picture of what looks like 415 but 415 is not listed. Ordered from another seller that has 405/510/415 listed. That seller says they are the same. No separate option to order for different modes. 16 days after ordering received ebay notification my item has shipped. it'll be another month before i know if this case is the right one, if i ever receive it.

the first case that doesn't fit bought on ebay - seller hksanho. waiting for the second case from seller buyeasy-uk2. will post when/if it arrives. s-line tpu case.
Just in case nobody knows this, if you get some headphones, earbuds, or IEMs that are designed to work with Samsung Galaxy devices (since the Galaxy S2, iirc) they'll work perfectly with LG devices like the G2, G3, L90, L9, Tribute, and so on.
I have a pair of Koss Steel earbuds that I "transplanted" to a Samsung cord w/remote about 2 years ago, plugged them into my G2 a few weeks back and was happily surprised they functioned as expected: Play/Pause/Next works as it should and the Volume buttons work properly as well.
No additional software required... just wanted to toss that out there so other people know if they don't already. You can get Samsung Galaxy earbuds on eBay for like $10 or less these days, the cord quality is excellent and very difficult to get knotted up because of the way it's designed and the particular materials it's made of make it pretty much knot-resistant too. I keep mine in a pocket in my shorts most of the time, take 'em out and they're ready to go in seconds without having to fight to untangle 'em.
Just an FYI for folks with LG devices.

I will no longer order cases for this phone on ebay. S-LINE case from two different sellers did not fit D415. Its smaller than the phone. Sellers either don't know what their suppliers sell or play the "i refund you leave 5 start positive feedback" game selling defective crap. Very annoying. Always buy cheap cases on ebay, never had a problem before.
I hope someone can find a case online that fits and post the link.

The case I bought from cellphonecases.com fit. I didn't think that it fit at first. I thought that I had to make it fit in the case by pressing hard. Someone showed me that I had to pull off the rubber casing and then pull apart the plastic pieces, which go on the front and back of the phone. Then put the rubber casing back on and it worked.
Where can i buy original lg g2 earphones for small amount of money?
on aliexpress or ebay or amazon. there is cheapper than in any other store
Hello all,
My lg g2 of verizon vs980 model. The screen got damaged due to fall and i need to purchase new screen.
I did search on amazon and ebay and got multiple options.
Would like to know which screen is worth getting and known to work flawlessly.
Thanks.
Does this happen every fall? Because fall will come again next year. Are you sure you want to replace your screen every year?
Unfortunately, I just don't have the answer to your question, but eBay is where I'd probably go. Just stick to sellers with overwhelmingly positive feedback.
Sure. Thanks for idea.
Is it same screen across all models?
Did you ever find one? I bought the cheapest one off ebay awhile back (dumb I know) and the screen cracked within the first week or two and I didn't even drop the thing. Anyways I too would like a reference so I can get a reliable screen.
