Is it "obvious" that the phone took a fall? If not, then you could probably get it replaced by calling AT&T's handset repair department (800-801-1101, I think) and just lie to them.
I never had a screen issue with my 8125, but I did brick around 7 of them from various issues with flashing custom roms. As long as I was careful with how I worded it, I got a new phone each time.

Screens don't just crack. They'll sniff out the lie.
and another one...i do feel better now after i broke mine, since it is a tilt u should be able to go through service see how much that will cost, if its over $200 u might be better off doing it urself by getting a screen elsewhere
My screen was cracked after 4 days of having it :')
It was inside my pocket without any further protection and i walked against something. Did cost me 136 euro to fix the screen.

where did you get yous fixed?
Unless you insured it somehow, you're going to have to pay to replace it. I don't see why anyone should pay for your accident if you didn't arrange coverage for it somehow.
they don't allow you to get insurance on it.
AT&T might not, but you can add it to your homeowners/renters policy or secure outside insurance from a third party (Safeware is one that I'm aware of). Mine is covered under my homeowner's insurance at a very low cost.
aite. but what do i do?

You go buy a replacement or get the screen fixed. They're not going to believe that you didn't break it yourself. I believe PocketPC Techs advertises that they can fix the screen.

I cracked my screen just s few days after getting it. I just repaired it this morning.
Contact njbridges here on the forum, or go to www.phoneystore.com and order the LCD from him. You have to get the whole LCD, as the digitizer portion is not available as a separate component. It cost me $120 + shipping to the US. He even included all the tools you need to make the repair. It literally took me 15 minutes to do. There are 4 torx screws under the display to remove, and then you use the separator tool that is included to remove the top housing. Once you've done that, unplug the LCD, slide it out, slide the new one in, reconnect the LCD, reassemble the top plastics, replace the screws, power back on, and you're done.
It's really simple to do. Why pay someone else to do it (especially if you're given the correct tools for the job).
Regards,
Jeff
Send it to at&t just don't tell them that the screen is broken tell them that it doesn't turn on, it worked for me and my 8125.

Me, too.
I just got back from Panama City, Panama where I was without my screen for a week. I talked on my phone while leaving the mall, put it in my pocket and pulled it out 15 minutes later after getting out of a taxi and the screen was broken. I'll be calling AT&T as this is my business' corp account. I had insurance on my Treo and my 8125, but think I may have dropped it on this one.
It does suck. The phone was three weeks old. I've gone back to my 8125 that's gone through hell and back without any problems....
I've got my fingers crossed or else I'll just order the screen myself.

Any time. One thing to note, putting the outer plastic cover back on is a little bit of a bear - it's a tight fit. you will need to put some serious pressure on the housings to snap them together. It's especially difficult on the power button side of the phone. I used a small flat screwdriver between the top and the keyboard to support the carrier plastics on the top and then used thumb pressure to snap the top plastic to the carrier.

As someone who has been through quite a few exchanges with Cingular (none since AT&T officially took over), and as a former employee of a Cingular warranty service provider, I can tell you that they do cover screen damage under very specific circumstances.
When going through the process on the phone, they will ask you basic questions like:
"Is there a pink strip under the battery?" - Indicates water damage
"Was the phone ever dropped from a distance greater than 2 feet?" - This is the important question for screen damage. Damage sustained from drops of 18 inches or less are covered.
It is a reasonable assumption that a cell phone, which is handheld most of the time, will be dropped on occasion.
The biggest question is whether or not the phone shows signs of "physical abuse". If you can answer no to that, then you should have no problem getting your phone exchanged.
Guys!
Sad news!
I droped the X1 yesterday while getting out of the car. It was in a pouch. And damm the display does not show up anymore. I get calls and all but the display does not show up atall. I am so pissed at myself. I checked with a local guy and he said the display would cost US$ 52 (apporx) Now that cheap but then he said thats not along with the touch screen. I Wonder how come the display and touch screen are different. Does anyone know?
Also had come across a thread of a X1 being opened. Can someone gimme the link if they know it.
Regards
if i remember i think there was a video on youtube that someone was opening an xperia step by step
the digitizer shouldnt be that expensive
someone who dropped the phone had similar problems.. maybe u can find it and see if there are solutions?
deja vu
Yeh I heard someone else here did that, seems it's quite sensitive to drops, Im guessing maybe the ribbon comes loose or something if the LCD isnt actually smashed? That being said, if it's just the screen, the touchscreen should still work and not need replacing aswell?
I mean if theyre the same piece and not interchangeable surely they would come together?
my touch stop working suddently, but the screen works fine... but the thing is that i doesnt drop the phone... i dont know... im waiting for a change now...
Check this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyGUbxFqvyc&fmt=18
he also disassembles the rear here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWDurQrRt-Y&fmt=18
Dropped my X1 phone as well
I had recently dropped my phone as well and the screen also stopped working, but the phone was completely functional. The repairing people told me it would cost me approx $150+ to get it fixed. The next day i decided to turn the phone on again and the screen worked.
So hopefully, the screen will fix itself for you as well
Bummer
It sounds like the connecter behind the screen has come loose - 52 bucks to open it up and put it back sounds about right.
I'd give opening it up a try, although I remember reading the thread when the service manual for opening it was first leaked - the guys said it wasn't easy!
Is it not still under warranty or something?
no warranty?
warranty will fix it
I was the guy who dropped his and had the same problem. Sent it in for warranty (great service I bought in the UK but live in Barbados so I sent it to the US location). Got it back in two and a half weeks fixed for no charge. Mine didn't have any visible damage from the drop though so maybe that made a difference? Good luck with yours!
hey, i remove the screen protector and start working!!!

I had same problem, in SE service they change flat cable, cost me 25 euro.
I had the same problem yesterday. Just searching for disassemble example and it works all of sudden today!
my x1 dropped too and the display stopped working ( black screen ) , but ive only called the service and 2 days later i had a new device in my hands for free
my X1 work again!
Hey, thanks for the dissasembly links!
Mine fell down onto stone ground and i had the same symtomes, sounds, calls everything was working but not the display. I dissasembled and reassembled, and it worked again! I think the plug of the ribbon cable connecting the front panel with the mainboard in the back unit was loose.

Hi,
I've gone and stupidly sat on my phone and now the LCD screen has a dark patch in the middle of it..
I've tried gently rubbing which reduces the patch temporarily and also heating up with a hairdryer completely removes the patch, but also temporarily...
I think final solution is to tear down and replace the screen, does anyone have any suggestions on where I can purchase a replacement screen? Or where I can obtain one at all?
Thanks a lot

I think you should send it to HTC for repair... might cost more than trying to repair it yourself, but trying to repair it yourself could lead to disaster if you don't know what you're doing. Much better to have a professional repair it.
I have exactly the same problem :-O
Have been looking around here and i believe this is the same problem as we have, He fixed it with a sucktion cup so may as well try that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462102&page=13&=#122
Thanks for the link mate. I will try the suction cup idea also and see if it works.
I have called HTC to find out about repair, they said (I'm in the UK), that they will send UPS to come collect and then they will give me a quote, it can take about 5 days to repair if I agree with the quote and £20 to send back to me... But they couldn't give me a better idea on price, although he said because the phone is new it would likely cost "a bit"...
I'll look for a couple more days for alternatives to fixing then it could be heading off to HTC
well the suction cup didn't work for me, tried to use a hoover as well .... all starting to sound rather kinky.
Will be sending off to HTC instead now. Thanks a lot anyway.
Get insurance and get a new one. Or get it fixed.
Same problem. Looks like nobody is selling replacemet parts for leo yet I've manage to find digitizer, but not complete with lcd screen. Is the phone too new maybe? Hopefully someone will start selling parts soon..
there are screens for sale , i think it's about 50 usd or thereabouts. You might want o search around i didn't save the link.
Today I found one by accident
http://4u-kidi.com/info.php?itno=5460
Nope, that's still only the digitizer/ touch screen not the actual LCD screen which displays the picture
i guess you mean the tft lcd screen.

I did the same thing Xmas day and I ended up with a patch in the middle just like the photo I've seen in the thread linked earlier in this thread
after the initial shock thinking I'd broke it already, on closer inspection it looked as if I'd squeezed the liquid out of it so I thought why not squeeze it back?
all I did was press from the outside of the screen using 2 fingers either side of the spot and then quite firmly squeeze towards the spot. I did this in a circular motion around the spot thus forcing the liquid back into the centre. Eventually it was OK after a few directed squeezes and it had completely vanished so imagine my relief
probably a bit late now, gently rubbing as the original poster didn't work for me as that's what I did initially. Eventually I was brave and used some force but not enough to create more spots, just enough to force the spots away again and fixed it completely

My very late, in rush butt started running without realizing that my phone fell out. I got the phone back from a stranger after multiple attempts to unlock my phone and keep it. Anyways, my friends and I, we came to conclusion that my phone was ran over by a car, face down on the asphalt. Tech21 screen protector on it has multiple holes and dents from the surface of the asphalt. Luckily enough, everything is fine but the screen, of course. It cracked every where. Every tallest bumps of the road left a crack on the screen. I can barely read but actual screen is FINE. THANK GOD!!
SOOO end of story. I ordered repair kit on eBay but I was wondering if anyone went through changing the glass on Note 4 yet? am i the first one?? T.T
Edit: it's my first time replacing the glass but I've dealt with similar stuff before. If anyone would like a video of it, I could try to record it. If I crack my screen, people could cry with me or laugh at me.

It would work better if you had the machine to separate the glass from the screen. I will say if the screen is badly cracked up you might have a really low success rate.
why not just buy a whole screen? they are under $200 the last time i checked on ebay. less risk and less headache.
you can even try just the glass after you replace the screen just to do it and if it works you have a back up, if not no loss.
i have a machine and hardly use it cuz how bad people break their screens today, whole screen is the safe bet.
i don't know if its the same in your area but most places charge $100-150 to replace the glass and most places don't reapply new adhesive to the digitizer and glass . so the glass is being held onto the phone by the frame only.

I agree completely. I dropped the phone on the road while riding and except the top right corner crack on screen there is no damage. Somewhat surprising because i must be atleast 30 mph and the force with which it fell, should have broken into pieces. Not even the back cover came off the phone.

My screen cracked while snowboarding and Repairs Universe offers a new glass/digitizer assembly for $189. I contacted Samsung and they offered to repair it for $197.77, so for an additional $8 someone will do it for you. The only downside is you'll be without a phone for about 1.5-2 weeks.
I was worried about the stuff from Repairs Universe being genuine Samsung parts (wanna make sure I get a real 1440p screen and not Chinese knock off crap that's only 720p), so I contacted them. They assured me that it is a genuine Samsung screen, but they could have been lying to me just to get a sale. For that extra $8 I'll get genuine Samsung parts and it'll be getting done properly by someone that know what they're doing.
So for anyone that needs a new screen those are two options for you.

That's good to know, thanks for sharing. Yes, I agree, I'd go directly to Samsung as well, considering price is roughly the same.
Any chance you can share the phone/email of the department at Samsung you contacted? Would be good to have that handy.

I went to their website on my phone, clicked on contact us, and did a live chat with one of their customer service people. It'll ask you to choose which product you're contacting them about (phones, TVs, appliances, etc) then what kind of phone. They'll ask for your IMEI number and all that jazz. I found them to be quite polite and helpful.
The only down side is you'll be without a phone for about 2 weeks, so make sure you have a backup phone to use or prepare yourself for terriblewithdrawal from not having your Note...
Guys the people you want to contact isn't Samsung. It's their only authorized repair service in the United States. The name is RSI found in both Plano and Hurst, Texas. Here's their website: www.repairsvc.com
Dealing with them directly should reduce your wait time.

Yes, that's the price they charge. I was letting everyone know that these are the guys that Samsung uses. They use genuine OEM parts and are the only repair center in the United States authorized to do Samsung repairs. If you look earlier in the thread, someone said that Samsung charges $197.77 with a 1.5-2 week turn around. As you just said yourself, this method would be $5 cheaper and 2x faster than going through Samsung to get the same place to repair your phone. Just was putting it out there if someone wanted 100% assurance that they were getting genuine OEM parts but didn't want to wait 1.5-2 weeks that Samsung quoted them.

Yup same reason I haven't cancelled the tmo 'jump' subscription. You do have to factor in the $10 per month subscription price though, so if you break your phone in 10 months, it's $275.
T-Mobile insurance to replace phone is $175 I just filed a claim on Saturday and got a new phone not refurbished today. The only problem is I had a Note 4 in White but they sent Gray since White was not in stock. I called T-Mobile and complained and got a $30 credit applied to my account so I really just paid $145
Hello XDA community,
I need your help to diagnose a problem on my phone please.
My OnePlus 3T screen suddenly started flickering My phone is unusable since then. The problem appears also in TWRP recovery when waking up the screen with the power button. It does not flicker during boot animation but the animation is very very slow. A picture is attached and I have done a youtube video to show you its behavior :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pLcgNbEeIY
The morning it happened, I dropped my phone on the floor. I think it is related but I am not sure because the problem started 2 hours later.
My phone is rooted with Magisk, has TWRP, Havoc OS v2.8 ROM.
My last TWRP backup and all my files are safe on my computer so I can flash anything or wipe anything if needed.
I opened my phone the day after but nothing seems to be broken. It worked well without its back cover. But the problem appeared again after I put it back.
I don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated
EDIT: Changing the screen with frame resolved this issue.
definitely related to dropping on floor. Take it to your nearest OnePlus Service center

I investigated a bit further. It is related to a component hidden under a piece of metal. When my phone is opened (without the back cover), everything is working. But, if a apply a little pressure on it, the phone is stuttering, all animations are slow. As soon as I release the pressure from my finger, everything is working again. So I concluded that the back cover is applying a pressure when the phone is reassembled.
I added a very thin piece of plastic on the side of this piece to avoid the back cover applying this pressure, and so far so good. The phone is reassembled and working correctly for a hour now.
I don't know what is under this piece of metal. Maybe an insulator broke are went away under it...
I will wait a little to confirm later that it is working for good.

Unfortunately. My diagnosis was wrong. This piece of metal is not the cause. A little pressure on the 100% left and 80% top of the screen has the same effect. I am suspecting a screen problem but, I am not 100% sure.
The phone is not under warranty anymore and sending it from Reunion would cost me a lot. I need to find a way to repair it myself. The question is, does it come from the screen or from the motherboard. What do you think ?
I found the motherboard for approximately 60 € and the screen for 35 €. The phone can be found at 165 €, new. So, I wonder what I should buy...

Unfortunately. My diagnosis was wrong. This piece of metal is not the cause. A little pressure on the 100% left and 80% top of the screen has the same effect. I am suspecting a screen problem but, I am not 100% sure.
The phone is not under warranty anymore and sending it from Reunion would cost me a lot. I need to find a way to repair it myself. The question is, does it come from the screen or from the motherboard. What do you think ?

My 2 cents:
Don't spend in excess of 50 EUR on the 3T now.
The dollar explanation:
Pressing on the back of the over leads to flickering and very slow animation, this can probably be the motherboard. You can check by pressing the back to see how does it perform when pressed, if it goes down drastically then that means it's the motherboard otherwise it could be the screen connecter.
Either way, the repair will be too expensive.
It will probably last only 4-5 months, given how slow it has already become and these impacted phone repair jobs sort of don't really last very long (especially if done using our untrained hands). It's best to upgraded to a new phone and be safe with a case and have fresh manufacturers warranty. Hassle-free and spot on.

I already ordered a new screen with frame before you post this reply and I have done right! My phone is working again, the screen is as good as the original one, I spent 60 € to have it. I am super happy.
:laugh: :good:
