I dropped my phone and my screen shattered...

I just ruined my beautiful mt4g. Will the factory warrenty cover this? Can I get this repaired? If yes, where? What the cheapest solution? This crap has never happened to me before so I'm freaking out. What do you guys think?

Factory warranty won't cover it. Did you purchase insurance from T-MO?

Asurian or however you spell it will cover it for you if you pay for insurance.

Check craigslist. Here in Houston there are a number of places that replace/repair cell phone that specialize in damaged screens, all of the advertise on craigslist. Of course, if you have the insurance, it's a moot point.

You can buy the screen on ebay if you're interested in repairing it yourself.

My screen shattered too Asurion was screwing me over so I got annoyed and called a repair place to have it fixed. Yeah they f'd up my phone even worse... hairs under the screen along with finger prints...none of the four buttons on the front were press-able they were perminitly stuck in, glue pealed up in an hour, power button lost its resistance, and on top of all that the thing wouldn't even turn on and the led stay orange after unplugging it from the charger.
They told me the battery died while fixing it just take it home and charge it and I would be fine (it was handed to me in a bag all wrapped up so the "glue could dry") yeah they were way wrong. Mind you this phone was 100% fully functional and in mint condition when I dropped it off for repair, just the glass was shattered. Took it back the next day and they tried to act like I had no reason to be pissed off about all this and tried to blame it on me, needless to say I got my money back called Assurion in their parking lot and got a replacement after explaining to the girl all the trouble I went through.
Moral of the story, be careful of repair places with this phone.

Cracked Screen. :(

Do not drop this phone even with a case and screen protector.
What happen was I knock it off my desk to the wood floor and it fell on its side not on the screen and this is the result of it. Phone still works but the digitizer and LCD are both cracked. *Sigh*
At least I have insurance even if I don't want to use it.
I have a picture but I cant post it since I'm new so copy and paste it

I was worried about this happening because the screen was so big I have a bad habit of leaving my phone in my lap while driving forgetting its there and drop it when I get out of the car. Did it with my droid alot never broke anything hope yours just hit the floor in the wrong spot. Does HTC use gorilla glass? does anyone know?

Just don't plug it in to charge then forget and get out. I've killed two chargers this way. That is why I buy the cheap retractable ones. A) cheap to replace, B) they just snap off, IE not doing much(if any) damage to the usb port of the phone.

Oh yah, done that!! In my truck nice 36 inch drop on pavement... My incredible survived it once.. Since then I make sure my phone is next to me.

It just sucks since I had to pay outright since I didn't want a contract.
Any word on when the otter box is coming out for this phone? I never had a case on my original droid but on this phone you need a good one.

True but its worst without it.

I must be extremely lucky. The other day I dropped my phone as I was getting in the car and the door shut right on it. I didn't slam the door very hard so it didn't latch or anythinf, but I still feared the worst. Luckily nothing was Damaged.

sorry for the lost, live and learn.

Its so hit or miss man. Ive dropped my Incredible from 5' off a breakfast bar onto tile and nothing but then you hear of others dropping on wood floors at a foot and utter destruction. It just takes that one special spot.
Hell look at the Nexus one when it first released, they had the videos showing the "Genetically altered" Glass they were using with little what looked like erasers bending the glass a million times and some sort of tumbler throwing it around to show the durability and then a week after release they said "The Nexus one should not be placed in pockets due to the high risk of stress cracks" Ahh duhh???!!!

wow i feel your pain. same happned to me with the droid 1

Did that to my EVO the second week I had it after launch. Another $100 I had to put into that phone.
No insurance on my Thunderbolt...we'll see how that plays out.

AHHHHH Shattered screen

So I destroyed my first smartphone. I suppose it's pretty good since I have carried a smartphone since the original iPhone, but I forgot my phone was in my pocket and when I took off my pants it slipped out of the pocket and landed face down on the tile floor totally shattering the screen.
My question is has anyone had to send their phone to HTC for screen replacement? If so what did it cost. I don't want to do it myself and void the warranty just in case anything happens to it in the future.

Did u buy insurance? Because mine did the same and it was about $190 to fix and the deductible would be $199 so I claimed insurance instead. Hope that helps, good luck.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Sent mine in on the 20th, got a quote a week later and finally got it back today. $220, shipping included.

Unfortunately I did not. Insurance wasn't available when I got my iPhone and I never thought to add it when it became available; but I can guarantee you I will have it once I get it back from repairs.

As long as your in your first month you can add insurance otherwise your out of luck

Wow, that hurts to look at. Sorry for your bad luck. :-( I already gave mine a pretty good knock by dropping it into my front jeans pocket where it always goes. I was leaning against a desk, and it slipped down and smacked against the desk through the cloth at the bottom of the pocket. I guess I'm gonna put a case on it, which is too bad since it looks so great naked (and the power button is already hard enough to hit!)

Son of a B!&*$! I read this last night and thought how bad I felt for you, then I got out of my car at work this morning and my phone went flying out of my hand and landed right on the screen. Full spider web glass. I too have been using a big glass screen also since the first iPhone and this is the first break so I guess I am lucky??
Any idea where to go to get the glass changed? Do we send it off to HTC?
P.S. I ordered the Otterbox yesterday because it is finally available in black. Guess I should have got that ugly blue one to hold me over.

Totally sucks. I am sending mine in to HTC for repair because it is less than a month old and I don't want to void the warranty by doing it myself but; you can get the glass for it for around $50 if you want to try it yourself.

I just watch a screen replacement online... Which convinced me that sending it back is the right thing to do, especially while it is under warranty. The crummy thing for me is that I have already been to AT&T with this phone to get it warranty replaced because of constant data drops and wifi issues but they did not have any in stock so I am playing the waiting game. Now I have to pay $200 to replace the screen of a phone I will be ditching as soon as it gets back.
Note to Everyone: GET A RUGGED CASE! my hard shell was no match for a relatively small fall, I am sure this would have held up in the Otterbox I have always had on my phones.

I have the Benks Magic Cookies case. It is really a nice case but it doesn't offer any protection on the glass at all. This is more of a keep scratches off the back case, not at all a shock protection case. I knew that when I got it, this just put an exclamation point behind that idea. I planned on using it as my "not at work go out to dinner type case" but with how easily this broke I think I will use the otterbox exclusively when it gets here.

I see. Well that sucks. I was actually debating whether to get that one before buying my bestbuy case.

can the screen be cracked easily?

ordered mine last week with free super saver from amazon, today it just shipped , estimated delivery date is this saturday, so i'm waiting for it and so excited.
but i just read some reviews on amazon and i see people are complaining about the screen, they say their screen can be cracked easily and only cracks after one or two months, this make me worry a lot because after one month you can't return it, then i google tf300 cracked screen (if you just type "tf300 cr" you'll see google suggestion "tf300 cracked screen" which means there's a lot of cracked screens) and i saw a lot of threads about this, so is the screen really easy to get broken? did they get defective items or is this because of asus design?
some people even said in the first month it was working properly but on the 31st day (which is 1 day after the return period passed) the screen cracked when they hold the tablet.
so what do you guys think about this? how long have you used your tablet? and is it working ok?

yes ..I've noticed that the tf300 screen cracks easily....a friend of mine cracked her tf 300 screen by a light drop and had to get it replaced for approx 400 $ ....drops are not covered under warranty ...so I am gonna be real careful with mine ...

Yeah I would be carefull with it. Buy a screen protector, wont protect the screen that much but its something. Its not exactly gorilla glass.

Do you guys use any protective case and which one?

The TF300 does flex easily so we should be handling it carefully.
It would be great if you can get protective case or sleeve for the tablet. I cannot get any protective case or sleeve for TF300 in my country as the tablet is not yet available locally so I just use a netbook sleeve (bag) that fits TF300 when I commute.

The back plate also is easily removable (without voiding the warrante, as long as you don't lift up the stuff *under* the back plate).
I've heard talk of getting some stronger and nicer back plates made. Mine is currently rocking a custom milled aluminum plate which I made at a machine shop with the original as a template. Makes it quite a bit sturdier, and not too much heavier.
Perhaps some time soon, when they've been out a bit longer, some manufacturer will step up and start selling something similar.
Until then, I'd look around for a sleeve or soft-case to protect it from bumps and whatnot, and just be careful not to drop it. Treat it like an expensive, fragile laptop. (Which is what it amounts to in the end anyway, hehe.)
If you have any more questions and you can't find the answer here on the board, feel free to PM me about the TF300. I'm working semi-independently on several projects concerning it at once.
Dave
EDIT: I hold my tablet by one /edge/ all the time and I've never had any structure problems even before the back plate mod. So you should be fine as long as you don't drop it or something.

Actually giggled to myself here at work reading that!
Anyway, yeah I've just picked up one of these 3 days ago, and so far so good. Sometimes carry it around holding it from the side with one hand.
There is a tiny little wiggly line under the screen though, and not sure if it a bit of dust, or a really small crack. :/ Unless I really focus on it though, don't really notice it so. Not sure whether should take it back for a new one or not. Seems a bit of an insignificant reason really...

Screen Cracks ASUS Transformer TF300T
I had my TF300T for two weeks and was impressed with the interface and processor speed, so I decided to get a keyboard to make it even more like a laptop. The first time I pressed the tablet onto the keyboard, the screen on the tablet got a hairline crack from the right plastic insert side, 3/4 of the way up the screen. The tablet touch screen stopped working and even with the keyboard or a stand alone mouse I could not get a cursor. After many back and fourth's with ASUS, they still refuse to warranty a broken screen. They say physical damage to the tablet is user caused. ASUS is charging $200 for the repair. I paid $400 for the tablet and $150 for the keyboard. Not a very good financial investment. It is my understanding that the TF300T does not have gorilla glass like some of the previous models. So In the end ASUS cheapened this model up and does not warrant their own design defect.

Well i have mine for over a month now, got it with the dock and always store it "docked"
No screen protector or case
I "dock - undock" it often and never had a problem with the screen.
I also hold it with one hand, no problem still.
But i am always careful and gentle with it

So yea, same wonders here, I just got mine yesterday, but is is really that big of a problem? I know we are a small population, but has this issue happened to a lot of users?

LG G2 is very fragile!!!!

If your thinking of getting this phone get a case as soon add possible! That happened after my father dropped hood phone once. Now the bottom part of the screen where the on screen buttons are does not work. So he just went back to his GS3. I have not found any tutorials on how to replace the screen and digitizer or if just the digitizer.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app

I did the same. Dropped my G2 going into Future shop to buy a case for it. Chipped the top left corner (can barely see it!) and now the top portion of the screen doesn't work... Now I have to get the screen and digitizer replaced...not cheap.

Thats what you get for buying LG. The companys products are notoriously ****ty and unreliable junk. Tvs, phones, cameras, everything. I been burnt so much. Not buying their piece of **** products again

I've smashed mine twice since november, today being the second time. 1st time it was in its flip cover case. This time, I took out of its case to lie in bed with it (cover gets in the way when you're on your back), went to the bathroom, fell out of my hands, 2 feet drop. Smashed again.
I have the Flip Cover, Otter Box Defender, now ordered the Incipio Leather Folio 2 in 1 and the Incipio Dual.
Figured if I had options I'd keep a good case on it constantly. Lucky I have insurance for it, 120$ deductable. I've reached my 2 claim max for the year though...
Most ...Fragile phone...ever...

I'm still getting a G2. Samsung uses versions of LED screens which have some chance of burn in, ghost images.
LG g2 is LCD. Yes there's a chance of dead pixel but I would rather take my chance with that instead.
Besides, LCD is easier to see on sunlight.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

I dont use a case for my LG 4X HD. I have dropped it many times, no cracks. It depends on the build quality, weight, the way it fell and so on.
I find cases ugly and unnecessary.

Thats not entirely true. Unless you wont change your phone in 2 years, the chance of getting burn ins is low. Be careful with LG,they have a tendency to drop phone support ASAP.

My fathers G2 was put in a spigein slimarmor case before the sales rep even set it up. Last month his digitizer was going wokners, had a slight nick in the case that pressed stuff together. Took it to the sprint store, and the reps replaced the front of screen on the spot without even having to do a warranty claim.that LG glass is super thin, too thin in my opinion which is also the reason I will never buy the flex

i dropped my g2 more than 3 times luckily no damage. i dont have any cases.

I know, I've heard it's not too bad. My friend also has it and he said he has dropped it multiple times and nothing has happened to it.

It probably can depend of supplier and party . My friend bought first G2 and had many problems with it, so he returned it to the shop and got the replacement.... but the second one was not good too. Screen just cracked after about a week of use -__- But I know many people with really good experience with this device, so it really depend of how lucky you are )

If your thinking of getting this phone get a case as soon add possible! That happened after my father dropped hood phone once. Now the bottom part of the screen where the on screen buttons are does not work. So he just went back to his GS3. I have not found any tutorials on how to replace the screen and digitizer or if just the digitizer.
