Anyone know where I can get a replacement LCD glass for my Desire HD
I believe it's just the glass as the screen seems to still work.
If there's a place in or around London that can replace it for me even better, if not anyone know how difficult it is to replace.
I've noticed a few places on Ebay (China/HK) selling digitizers and complete LCD's but ideally I want somewhere in the UK.
thanks

Hi,
I went through a similar experience less than 2 weeks ago, you can even see images here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834335
I rang around several places, none could commit to using GENUINE HTC parts. The only people I found were: www.htcrepairs.co.uk/ - and they even offer a walk in service whereas I found most others did not.
Unfortunately they don't have the parts I require in stock, maybe you can try them.
At the moment, they're the only people I've found in the London area that I'd be willing to give my phone in to...
Did you have any luck with finding anyone else?
Maybe contacting HTC? They can probably repair it for you but it can be pretty expensive though.
Maybe you got some pics?
You could try, as said above, get the glass/screen from eBay.
Repaired my SE K800i with it, where the glass could easily be removed and the new one could be installed within 5minutes.
Don't know how the HTC will disassemble though.
I'm going to try this place on the way home from work: http://www.spsmobile.co.uk I'll let you know how they go. They've got the parts and will charge me £60 for either the lcd or digitzer including fitting.
Here's some pictures. I think they'll get away with just fixing the glass, although it looks bad the lcd still seems to work ok.
Can anyone recommend a case surround?

How did it go?
Did they fix it whilst you wait, or retain the device to work on for a day or two?
More importantly, are they using genuine HTC parts ?
They fix while you wait, they're near Staples Corner (which is a bit of a walk from the tube at Brent Cross).
I need to go back tonight as they messed up and thought I had a Desire and not a HD, they're hoping to get the HD part in today, they're charging me the Desire price.
According to their website they use official parts, but who knows.
Warranty
* We give 3 months warranty on every repair excluding liquid / water damage and physical damage
* Every warranty handset is security sealed. Tampering with the security seal will void the warranty LCD / SCREEN warranty. We fit original screens only and they are security labeled
* Every handset is tested for 24 hours and comes with engineers report
I plan to visit these SPS guys tonight. Lets hope they manage to fix my phone.
I'm hoping to wait around so I can ensure genuine parts are used...
SPS didn't manage to get a Desire HD digitizer for me, they've got 1 on order. They're a little difficult to find (at least they were in the dark) they're behind Staples industrial state, in room 207, small little office. They seemed ok though they.

I'm back!
Got my Legend fixed earlier this evening by these guys: http://www.spsmobile.co.uk/
They were one of few who were adament they use genuine parts [they allowed me to inspect the parts before installation] AND allowed me to wait whilst they work on it.
Abolutely disgusting/poor customer service and general attitute towards their customers... though the main thing is my Legend is all well again !
Oh, it cost £70 for display + digitizer + installation.

U didn`t look for it enough Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883444
Thanks but I do not see a complete teardown guide yet. Looks like the guys on the other thread are working on it but nothing detailed enough. I need to know how to replace the digitizer, looks like not body knows how to do it yet.
Who got the same problem? I already swapped 3 times for a new HTC Desire S in the store. Today I got the 4th one. But still the same annoying problem. I can see that the screen doesn't perfectly fit on the unibody. I can also see the backlight shine through the border of the screen (at 3 spots) - so called light leak. The seller said that it's because of the unibody and the screen is pasted above the body (he suggested another phone because all the unibodies will have the same problem, but I like to stick with the Desire S).
I think I have to live with it, because all the 4 phones got the same fault.
Maybe you all should check the screen closely (the whole border).
If someone knows a solution, please let me know. I will wait a little bit, maybe I will put a bit of kit in the gaps...

I have the black version, had the grey one and there had the issue with the screen... i think the grey ones are made bad
Yeah could be. I also wanted the black version, but it wasn't available in the shops I went. I will ask if they can order a black one. I have 30 days return policy.

I have the black version and it has a small gap on the top of the screen...
So it has nothing to do with the color lol.
Nothing too obvious though....
my gray DS is okay, only little problem is with back cover...
xD well, so there are some good and some bad no matter color
I have sent an e-mail to HTC with the so called light leaked problem. I'm curious what the respond will be.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I've a black one and it has minimal gaps, such that I can see a tiny orange LED light leakage from the top of the screen edge and at the bottom right hand side I can see slight light leakage from the hard button backlights.
But these are only visible in a dark room after careful angling and rotating of the device...So ultimately, doesn't effect the operation of the phone, so doesn't bother me.
Black one here and never noticed anything wrong with the screen fit/build.
Is it just an aesthetic problem or does this cause issues with the phone operation?

Looking at it, I kinda see what you mean, but it doesn't bother me all that much. A thin black edge around the actual display on all sides, and if you tilt the phone you can sometimes see the light escaping from the soft buttons' backlights.
Doesn't bother me at all thankfully.
My girlfriend's wildfire S's screen mismatch however... that winds me up just being in the same ROOM as the damn thing.

Got a reply today. It is in dutch, but in short:
"HTC is not familiar with the issue. You got to send the phone for repair and then we will look at it".
I also put links of xda forum, android hilfe and google (search: light leak htc) in my message. But HTC pretends that they know nothing. It's ashame. No more HTC for me. The 4th HTC Desire S with problems is not right. It's not a low budget phone...

hi,
i have the same problem here.
it's my third htc desire s, all of them with thsoe gaps..even srrounding the capacitive keys
I hate it
i dont know if im going to change again for a desire s or to change brand
Mine is black, my wife's is blue... both of them have perfectly fitted screens! Sounds like the store you're buying from is trying to shift dodgy stock!

This unfortunately is a common problem but not that severe, it effects devices sold in many countries, although after your experience with that one shop I'd follow advice given and would try an alternative shop or try to possibly buy online.

I did this, got it back after 10 days. They hadn't done squat, it still leaks exactly the same as before.
And for the record, it's a black one.
I've had 3 Desire S's, all black. One of them was fine, the other has a slight leak. My current one is a little worse. Also noticed that the screen isn't aligned properly. Sending it back to the seller for a replacement soon. I think it's just a hit or miss thing.
I had the 'famous' touch screen lockup issues at lockscreen. Well, I tried everything members here suggested and everything failed. So i decided to send it to HTC and i get a phonecall in the middle of my Calculus ii class giving me a quote for *(**$160 DOLLARS to repair the "LCD" reason being that the warrantly sticker was torn???!!!??? I checked before I sent it it!! It was still intact! I mean I know that LCD is not the issue but I kept a straight face and let them charge my credit card.. Now Im just waiting to hear from them and see how much they failed.
HTC u disappoint me.
Dispute it!
If you claim it was under warranty and that the sticker was not torn, first fight them BIG time. If they won't budge then you need to dispute the charge on your credit card stating it was under warranty. (BUT WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE THE PHONE BACK!)
If there is a will there is a way!
Next time take pictures of the phone before you send it anywhere! Its always nice to have proof of the truth if something like this happens

There is only One void sticker on one of the screws on back... Remaining don't have that sticker... Do you guys have it on all screws or one?
that void sticker is so prone to get unstickied and thrown off when u hold phone without back cover.
There must be other ways for sure to check if phone has been opened or not..
btw ..won't u get dust under the screen when u open those screws?
I never opened the phone and clearly remember the void sticker intact. Its so small and HTC want to you send the phone naked without cover and such. I bubble wrapped it very tight. The sticker could get torn when they opened the package.
I wish I had taken a picture. Facepalm.

I saw one only. no worries though. Learned my lesson the hard way. I have had iphones/itouches get broken and apple gave me new ones no questions asked or no excuses given. Just like that. Wish others would step up cause I dont like Apple too much.
My old HTC sensation had signal issues so i sent it for repair, However they did not fix it because I had coloured in the void sticker !!
I had a digitizer replacement on the phone about 2 months before this, And before i sent it off for repair i noticed the void sticker, I assumed it was there because the phone had been opened so i coloured it in lol.
Turns out it was supposed to be there, I had just never noticed it before now, So if i never coloured it in, they would have fixed it !!
Im surprised the void sticker was still intact after having the digitizer replaced, surely the repair guy would have had to remove it to get to the screw underneath ?
Anyway i really shot myself in the foot with this, But luckily enough when it came back from repair centre it had a broken screen So i wrote a massive complaint and they sent me a brand spankin' new one
They couldnt prove how the screen broke, so they also shot themselves in the foot.... But it wasnt me that broke it honest....
Anyway ive got a new one now so il be more cautious with this one, The old one is still here waiting to be sent back... But i think i will keep it a little longer in the hope that they will forget i have got it lol.
when it comes to repairs id rather just do it myself now, sending it in is alot of hassle in itself,

Well first off, why the HELL did you colour the void sticker? I mean how bored can you get, until you open back the back of your sensation (which is a nightmare) and start colouring in the sticker.....
PS: Listen to other people and go to the local shops. As long as you can pay, they will ask no questions.
Have a nice day mate!
Their repair service sucks. I sent it a couple of weeks ago and they only fixed half the problems it had and broke WiFi Bluetooth and the vibrate motor. I'm definitely getting a Samsung or the next iPhone when my contract is up :/ sucks cuz I really like htcs phones

I coloured it in because i thought the void had shown up AFTER the phone had been opened, I never noticed it before.
I thought if i colour it in, they will never know it had been open, I coloured it black to match the rest of the screws lol.

holy **** that is funny.
at least htc is better then samsung.
sent my infuse to them and after 14 minutes of them receiving it (according to their update **** that they email you everything they do to the phone blah), they determined it was water damaged (never once did it see water, and all the indicators, even the inside one was still stark white) it was sent back with a nice new red (always red/non liquid reactive) sticker dead center over the IMEI label.
contacted them to no avail. never buying another samsung product ever
Hey guys, New to the HTC sensation threads (its my Girlfriends phone)
Got her this phone about 6 months ago - 1 week after having it she dropped it and broke the digitizer anyway i got that fixed at my local phone shop with aftermarket digitizer - it worked well but you could tell it was not genuine.
anyway the other week i dropped it and broke the lcd screen yet the digitizer is fine and the phone is still 100% useable - except the display looks awful.
Does anyone know if this is an easy fix, is it worth fixing myself or taking it to the phone shop - Im embarrassed to go back and explain how it has broke again lol.... But i need to get it fixed, Im so close to having my wang removed by my girlfriend.
I was wondering whether or not HTC themselves would repair it ? and maybe replace the digitizer too, I dont mind paying the extra £££ for genuine parts and to be fixed by genuine HTC repairmen..
Any ideas how i can get out this mess ??
sorry for the long post.
Thanks
Off course HTC will repair it, but it'll take longer and probably charge you a lot more than what you can it fixed for.
Out of curiosity do you/your girl not put the phone in a case or something?

Haha, no i did not.. But as soon as i get it fixed im gunna invest in a bulletproof / bombproof carbon kevlar box and keep it locked inside it !!!
Was it bought through a carrier or sim free? Could always take it to your carrier and see what they suggest, although they're not normally the cheapest, but at least it should get done properly.
Yeah i got it through vodafone, I think i will give them a call and see what they say.
I was considering taking out insurance, then in a few days call them and tell them its broken, This is risky.... what do you think the odds are with me getting away with it ?
Do you think they would notice the aftermarket digitizer ? It is an exact replica with HTC on it....
these damn phones are so fragile.... I miss the old nokias

No, you won't get away with it, and it's dishonest, anyway. Don't make yourself a criminal over a cell phone.
Now, that being said, check Ebay. There are lots of vendors in the UK and elsewhere (lots here in the US) that sell replacement screen kits, many of which include instructions and tools.
If you're handy with small tools and careful, you can do this yourself for a fraction of what it will cost you to have it done. I learned this when my kid's iPod battery died some years ago. They're not user replaceable, and Apple wanted some outrageous amount to do it, plus you had to send it away. I found a guy on line that sold batteries with tools and directions, and in 20 minutes, she was good as new.
Pays to do it yourself.

I totally agree with you !! i do not want to result to fraudulent behaviour... BUT, i dont want to pay approx £80 for parts and make the whole situation worse by possibly making more damage.
BUT i also dont want to pay approx £150 - £200 thinking i could of fixed it for much less by doing it myself.
I am good with stuff like that and am very gentle and careful..... but i dont believe in myself lol
I recently replaced mine. Its not too terribly hard to do. But you have to get it just right. Currently the digitizer is a bit slow and unresponsive at time but I think i didnt get it in there completely right. So I'm going to dissaimble is again today and get it suck in better and see of that helps

Since the Sensation screen is made by two different manufactures is it possible to mix and match them or do you have to replace the screen with the same one with phone came with? I have a Sensation that needs a LCD that I have not taken apart yet. Im wanting to get the better screen but im not sure if I can just put the better screen in it if thats not what it came with in the first place.

Well it's much better to replace it with the same display just to be sure it's going to work. There's also a side by side comparison of the Sharp and Acer (AUO) displays
That said, you can check what panel you have using the instructions on this thread:

Ill let you all know how it turns out....
Well I got the screen and digitizer from the link above today. Installed it and its perfectly fine. No lag anywhere, registers touch like the stock one did. The LCD panel seems to be the same quality as the AUO panel but thats fine with me since im pretty sure this phone came with the AUO from the factory. If you do decide to replace your screen and digitizer i suggest getting them as separate pieces. Having them attached to each other made it sorta difficult to get back together cleanly.

well the day after i got it fixed i knocked it off the side onto tiled flooring, it cracked the lcd but not the digitizer... so weird lol
anyway since then i have had some signal issues with my provider, they have established that the handset is faulty, they are collecting it to repair it.
I still havent had the screen fixed so im just going to see what happens when they go to repair it, Maybe they will think they broke the screen and fix it before returning it to me. Or maybe they wont.... if thats the case i will argue with them that it was fine before they took it away from me
after all, they must have 100's of these phones in boxes gathering dust in their warehouse(s) so a little arguing and im sure i will get it fixed / replaced.
Shhhhh Moms the word !!!

Hey guys, I just purchased a sensation on ebay. It was great when i first got it, but immediately i decided to put it under the light, to check if it had dust underneath the screen (being that it was a common problem), and it did. Alot. I want to keep the phone because it is so damn awesome, but was wondering if anyone one here got to fix it themselves? or got some professional to fix it and if they had good results from it. Since I bought the phone off of ebay, I would not be able to send it off to HTC for the repair. I visited a cell repair shop (ubreakifix.com) and they told me to come back later for the repair. Anyone have suggestions regarding the dust under the screen issue? Should i just return the phone to the seller on ebay?
Also, another minor issue i have noticed was the front facing camera quality. In low light settings, the picture quality came out REALLY dark and GRAINY compared to my mytouch4g. Is this common among all htc sensation users? Any help would be appreciated!

First question i can't answer.
Second question: The front camera is a VGA camera, so the quality isnt good.

I had the dust problem.. I have to keep blowing to get them off.
And since the quality of the front camera is VGA, it is really low quality.

Fortunately for me I never had that problem with dust under the screen, I guess I am with the few lucky ones.

worth a shot, check to see if there's dust on the front cam cause mine accumulates a lot of dust after only 3 days and it severely lowers quality.
