I dropped my Sensation 2-feet high with it's "Protective case"
And my whole screen shattered.
I didn't get insurance... am I screwed?
EDIT: It still run's perfectly!
You will need to replace the digitizer/screen. You can find them online
¤Violets are red,
Roses are blue,
Wait, what?
I have no idea what I'm saying,
But you lost the game¤
Damn, sorry to see this. I feel your pain. So much for protection. It can be fixed though. Good luck with the repair.
You say it still runs perfectly? Be careful you don't slice your fingertip off! :-(

Think you need to get a new screen and a good internet guide to screen replacement, is not too difficult on most phones but haven't tried on this one yet so couldn't say for definate

Ive been in this phone a few times now and compared to other htc phones (Im looking at you HD2) this thing is a DREAM (not a G1) to repair. very simple to open, very easy to seperate the lcd from the digi, nothing really hiding to surprise you.
as long as you take it slow and pay attention to what you're doing you should be fine.
if you get to a point where you think you may damage something do a local search for "CPR Cell Phone Repair" and they can help you out. there's a decent chance there is one in your area, and if not you can always mail it to them
oh man just happend to me about a month ago!!
it is a new phone i had to wait till i get some of the repair shop order it for me online and fix it.
please be advaised dont think it is an easy Job, i really had bad time with the service and i returend the phone for almost 3 times to fix the screen!!!
be aware of the senstive issue that might come up from installing new digitizer/screen
i really advise you to go to the best repair shop in your area or HTC repair center will be better for sure even if it will cost you.
at least you have allot options to repair your phone unlike me, you just need to think about it.
goood luck

i dont advise doing that is not an easy JOB specailly for the lower part of the screen there is a cable and it is diffcult to be connected as the repair man said.
this will lead to a senstive issues regarding the Ring lock and other unresponsive screen issues.
Aww man that's messed up, I have that same case, hopefully my clumsy ass don't drop mine on the ground..

Got an inspire for an amazing price. (less than 200).
But it has a crack in the digitizer, I intend on fixing it for 40-80 dollars.
I've done this several times with iphones and arias, but I heard the Inspire is really easy to screw up and crack the screen (lcd)
Has anyone attempted digitizer replacement? Any instruction guides?
I looked on youtube but no one actually does it, they just comment on how it could be done.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks
Did you check if anyone has done it for a desire HD?

wow too much stuff to do but interesting lol, would try just for fun if my phone was not so expensive LOL!!!
I'll try it myself and make a video for the community.
It looks pretty complicated and involved, but fortunately I'm patient and the playstation network is still down, which means I have a lot of time.
If I can do it myself its $40 if not, its $145 for HTC or A person I know that'll do it for 80 and up.
Just finished doing this procedure. Never try it.... just send the phone to HTC. The good thing is I learned that I will never drop this phone for fear of having to do this again

I got a free G2x from a buddy. phone's water damage stickers are red but he cant remember it ever getting soaked in water. He found the phone dead and then we noticed the stickers. the phone wont turn on and since I know LG or T-Mobile wont exchange it I figured id try to repair it myself. A friend told me that I should open it and clean the corrosion with some rubbing alcohol but I cant find any help online? Has anybody tried to do that to G2x or any phone for that matter? Any help would be appreciated
The phone is most likely dead..
I know I'm going to hear some **** for what I'm about to say but when has that ever stopped me.
I'm not going to give you specifics or tell you what I would do but those water damage indicators can be replaced. You can find them multiple places online. After you replace them, its up to you to decide what to do.
Have a good day.

Yup, that's how I imagined the comments would look like. I'm just glad you beat them to it.
By the way, I'm glad I kept the G2X. Right now I'm browsing the XDA forum and playing Riptide at the same time. I do have to pause the game every once in a while though.

lol I know right... That riptide is the ****. Graphics are amazing on that game. I really think the tegra is a great cpu/gpu combo. Honestly looking at the photon @ 1ghz tegra and a skin vs the htc 3d and its 1.2 snapdragon with a skin, the photon just seems to out perform it in anything.
You could shed more light as you got rid of sense on the sensation. So both stock say bump the tegra to 1.2ghz, which one performs the best? At the same clock speed?

If you'd like to take the honest way out, there is a complete photo disassembly guide here.
Riptide is way cool on my 55" Sony. I gotta get a longer HDMI cable though, 6 foot ain't long enough.
P.S. Anyone who would receive a damaged phone for free then conceal the damage and attempt to return the phone for a new one is a thief pure and simple. If there were any justice at all those actions would result in prosecution and incarceration.
Perhaps you should make your way to a public square where you can smash the windows out of a T-Mobile store and just take whatever you want. After all, those rich bastards deserve it don't they?
We are doomed.

Not to be an ass, but isn't LG a thief? They sold us a phone with software that is horrible. Some of us who rely on our phones for simple task such as an alarm are late for work when the phone freezes. T-Mobile sold most of us a so called unlimited plan, but we get data throttled. T-Mobile claims 21+mbps, but no one has seen speeds anywhere close to that. I guess everyone is a thief. To each his own.

I agree, T-Mo has been less than honest with us. They should suffer the consequences of that breach of trust.
Not only will stealing from T-Mo make it harder and more expensive on the rest of us, but also the simple truth is... two wrongs don't make a right.

You're definitely right about two wrongs don't make it right, but I highly doubt that T-Mobile will buckle down that much on phones getting replaced especially since they know that the G2x has ton of software issues. The best thing T-Mobile and LG can do is to just make it right. It wasn't for the devs on XDA then we'd be ass'd out.

All Tmobile does is looks at the sticker under the battery needed for a swap for a refurb. They all get thrown in a bunch and sent back to LG.
As long as it is visibly not RED, you'll be fine.
Sad part is one of us will probably end up with it, lol.
I just thought this was worth sharing.
I own an MT4G. In my year of having it I have gone through 6 replacements.
None with the SO Type 2 Panel.
Tonight (actually 10 minutes ago) I just got back from buying my wife an MT4G.
It has a cracked digitizer but otherwise works just fine.
The touch screen is still responsive in every corner and every side.
Even where it's cracked. I got this phone for 30 bucks. 30....
My wife now has a MT4G with a superior screen. SO Type 2.
FML!
P.S. She won't switch with me even though she doesn't see the difference.
She just knows that I want it, she has it, I don't have it and that's the way she likes it.

All you gotta do is turn off the phone (make sure fastboot is off)
then boot in to bootloader.
Hold volume down and press the power button. Hold it until you see the bootloader screen.
Go down to system info and look for something along the lines of SH-C2 or SO-C2.
SO is superior, SH is not.
Good luck.

I went through several bad screens before getting a good one, and wife still has the bad one. I was checking out my friend's Sensation and immediately noticed that he has the bad screen. Apparently HTC is still shipping both screens even on their latest models. Will definitely be cautious if I go with another HTC phone after this.
I'm expecting my 2nd MT to arrive tomorrow.
If I haven't seen the bad screen, would I even know something is off? Like if my first phone had a bad screen and the new one does to, would I even guess that there's a problem?
I mean do you have to see a good and bad one side by side to know the difference?
Or is it like watching HDTV for years then trying to watch a show on an old 1920's black and white?
I just bought an HTC Panache and it came with the bad eMMC and bad screen. WOW the display is noticeably different from my MyTouch4G even when looking straight on.
Anyway, since it is still covered under HTC manu warranty, would I be able to send it in with the request of the new eMMC and the Sony display?
Who should I contact? I sent an e-mail to HTC and they're directing me to some third-party called PCD or something.
Has it worked for you? Should I just call them directly and see if I can talk them into something?

i bought my glacier off craigslist. In rooting with the gfree method, i ended up with a brick that blinks a yellow light (download mode). Tmobile was unable to help me, but i called htc and they took care of it.
I had to pay shipping to them, and i got back the same phone fixed about 2 weeks late i think.
not sure how easy it will be when you have a phone that works but has flaws, my situation was such that the phone was clearly broken, so there was no judgment call by the rep.
i called the htc customer service number here:

Its pretty annoying because it doesn't take much at all. They shipped me my replacement almost a week ago and it still hasn't gotten here and they haven't sent me a tracking number. Kinda pissing me off, but I guess good things happen to those that wait. It better apply to this :banghead:
