I just dropped my phone. Smashed the screen. I'm wondering how many people have attempted to get the screen fixed for how much. Or if I should do it myself.
Such a bummer. Still owe 200$ on it to.

I replaced my digitizer screen. It wasn't that complicated but it does take time.
I recommend parts4repair.com they sell parts for all brands of smart/superphones out there right now. I broke the screen on my Incredible S, well the digitizer. Got a new one for $20 CAD. replaced it myself (did take a month to ship) and was good to go. Parts were great,got a little tool kit with all the wee torx bits. Check it out!
Ii already voided warranty with s-off
There's a guy in my city that will replace digitizer for 90 can or 130 if LCD is cracked also.

He says it will take 1-3 business days. I assume cuz he has to get the part

I work at a repairshop and I have done several digitizer replacements on the VIVID, its a little tricky since you will have to lift up the upper part of the LCD, or remove the LCD entirely. Doing so increases the chance of you breaking the LCD and then you will have to replace both screens. If you dont have a good heat gun and the right tools, you should take it to someone with experience.
I watched a tear down. While a probably could do it. I think your right. I'll just pay to get it fixed.

HTC quoted me.140.cc for a screen replacement

Yeah Nevermind, screens from the source are expensive. I'm used to seeing small charges from the usb ports dying out of warranty not screen repair

First time I've ever lost something like this. I've looked everywhere, and I cannot find it. Does anyone know where I can pick one of these up?
Call HTC for a new one. They're pretty easy going on sendingbout batt covers and other moving parts. Just tell them that a clip on it or something on it broke. Or just say it broke off and wont reattach correctly. They'll mail one out for free likely.

just call HTC. thats what ive done in the past for my inspire. i used to lose the battery cover all the time.
I called for a replacement sim cover on my Inspire and they sent it no problem, free shipping and all. I do believe I remember the HTC rep saying they only do 1 free replacement per phone so I wouldn't get in the habit of losing it.

The HTC rep I talked to never said only one replacement, but always function on the side of caution. Stop losing your stuffs

+1. i have the white speck case as well and i love the thing.
I had a Desire for 2 years and never lost a cover. I've had my Vivid for 2 weeks and the cover has come off by itself once already. I am ordering a cover for this thing. Probably the Otter cover.
Lol couldn't stop laughing after seeing this one, lost the entire back of the phone hehe.
Anyways, that's pretty cool to learn that htc replaces them. Good to know.
Hello, today I slipped and fell and my HTC Vivid seemed to have taken the fall pretty hard because whenever I turn it on its screen is completely black, but it theres streaks of white on the bottom. It almost looks as if a nail of white is on the bottom when I turn on the phone. Any ideas to get my screen working again?

Thanks for telling me. How much do you think it'd cost to repair?

Lcd/digitizer combo is easiest fix & goes for anywhere between $50-65 on ebay and the time it takes to fix.
Or you can be adventurous and just buy the lcd only. Costs $30-35 and a lil more time.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Its more like $40 for LCD digitizer combo.. At least it was when I replaced mine lol

You lcd is broken.
You should check if the phone is reconigzed by a computer. Changing the lcd screen is a challenging task, but if you are patient you can do it.

How can I tell whether a digitizer is fake or not. I feel able to replace it myself but looking through eBay I can see some of them have HTC logo some of them hasn't. Is the logo part of the screen? Is it part of the digitizer?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I don't really think there is such thing as a "fake" digitizer. The ones that doesn't have a logo is most likely digitally blacked out on the photo to avoid legal issues.

I would take the chance... A digitizer is a digitizer... Of sorts... If it was a LCD that would be a different conversation. think you'll be alright.

Broke my screen couple of days ago. Searching for digitizer since then on ebay, amazon and etc. Can't find proper one, all of them have Droid DNA or ordinary Butterfly.
Any ideas where I can get one? maybe Taiwanese site?
Thanks!
That sucks. Sorry to hear bro.

I wonder if Butterfly/Droid DNA's digitizer is compatible, they seem to be almost the same screen, but there are some slight differences though and this may simply be explained by different OEMs. (GSMArena's tests show quite a lot of similarities between Butterfly and Butterfly s screens)
Problem is the that Butterfly doesn't have a second speaker, thus shape of screen is different
I saw etradesupply.com has the screen assembly, you could give it a check

try parts4repair.... im always get my htc sensation and nexus 7 replacement part there...
So like 2 months ago I dropped my m8 and broke the LCD screen. I returned it to a stock Rom and put it back to s on before I sent it back to get fixed. HTC refused to fix it because of "warranty" issues. So does HTC replace broken LCD screens or just cracked glass? Or did they notice my phone had the harken karmen firmware?
Should of taken it to Sprint

Why take it to Sprint when the HTC Advantage program should replace a damaged screen at no cost? Even if he has Total Equipment Protection from Sprint it will still cost $150 to get a replacement device (through Asurion). It would be one thing if his phone had a hardware issue that caused the screen to mess up but his issue was physical damage due to the phone being dropped.
