Bigtiny called it but if he doesn't get it for whatever reason let me know. My son peed on my girlfriend's old phone and she's been phoneless for a while. I can probably fix that atrix for a few bucks.

He Pee'd on it?!?!?! LMAO! Kids are GREAT for ruining phones. my friend's kid broke my original Razr in half by throwing it across their living room. I have since learned to keep my phones (and other fragile stuff) away from children.
I'm not even going to attempt to get this 'freebie' as it looks like there are others that are way more interested/deserving of it than me!

Cracked Captivate screen--need to replace

I need a replacement screen for my captivate. Can someone recommend a reseller online that has these in the US?
Just google it most of the tech sites are pretty reliable. I like pda parts.com

I'd love to but so far nobody seems to have the screens.

I bought a replacement one from Ebay but never ended up using it. In my situation, I was still able to sign up for the warranty and managed to get a newer build phone. I've had every intention of selling the other screen, but I just haven't put it up on Ebay yet.
Just curious.. how did you manage to crack gorilla glass?
This is the odd thing. The digitizer is working PERFECTLY. I'm still able to answer calls and whatnot. I didn't even realize it was cracked until someone put it under light and looked with a magnifying glass.
Dropped off my lap getting out of the car onto an asphalt parking lot. Had it for 5 days.

I bought a case that night. Haven't dropped it since.
BTW... I used to run all your AF mail. I was a contractor for Detachment 3 at Scott AFB before they moved it to Peterson
If you do buy a new screen, it looks like it would be very difficult to replace. Or would you bring it to a shop that would do it for you? I am looking at mine wondering how one would even replace the screen so that its in good working order. Maybe its not as difficult as it seems if one knows what they're doing (certainly not myself lol)
I think I saw a heat gun and a guitar pick being used to remive the screen.

Are you planning to sell it? I broke my screen of samsung captivate.
Check out Josh Groce from mobiletech reviews.com He just unbricked my captivate maybe (hopefully) he can replace your screen for a descent price.
It's worth a try, he is also an xda senior member and goes by the name connexion2005 I believe.
Hope this helps.

ouch, my gf did the same thing with her iphone 3gs. Got out of the passenger seat of our car, forgot it was on her lap, dropped 3 feet to it's spidered death..... sigh - good thing we are now on captivates.
I drop my Captivate all the time and my screen has never scratched or cracked or anything. Feelin pretty lucky right about now. Sorry for your loss that really sucks. :/
I drop mine often in the car while driving and have dropped it several times getting out... glad I have a bumper like case. NO craps or anything. Glad to hear it has Gorilla glass.
<-- clumsy
Yeah I have it listed in the XDA marketplace

NO ETA.. Any time soon.. :/ EDIT: Possible hope?

Just got off the phone with an HTC rep. Talking about my landscape wifi bug and i mentioned the bootloader. i asked him if in the OTA will it unlock our devices and give us s-off and he said yes it will. Bad news is that they don't have plans in doing an OTA any time soon. Damn HTC. Damn them to hell.
EDIT: Apparently Paul is in direct contact with HTC. Might be coming faster than i and the retarted Rep knows!!
It's just a phone rep, I wouldn't read too much into it.
I'm sure they'll get it rolled out fairly quickly or they risk the modding market heavily favouring the Galaxy S II, and they can't afford that.

Well now that sucks... Just got the phone today, and was hoping that they will do something about it sometime soon....
Oh well, thank god we are not waiting on them only, and that we have some incredible devs in here that are going to kick the bootloaders butt, and do what HTC had to do long time ago.
Id rather see the devs do this, because if its just a given - its not all that much fun. Would love to donate for a job well done. I believe in you guys, you can do it!!
Just hope they aint like motorola and backflip on their promise. It just wouldn't make 'sense'

You might have to change the title of your post mate. I just asked Paul if he had any insider info as to when HTC will roll out OTA for 1.34 and he replied "Very soon"!
It gives me a lot of hope, Paul is in direct contact with HTC... I believe he knows more than the CS who is based god knows where and has no clue about what's going on.

Lol me too. Annoys the crap out of me. It doesn't protect the screen in any efficient manner, they always have bubbles after short periods (cause not designed to stay) and often make the screen harder to read (much much clearer without)
If you must have a screen protector (pointless if you ask me, glass is far stronger than plastic screen protectors) buy one designed for the job, cheap skates, what are they? $2?
Naked all the way for me, don't even like cases, just give me a belt clip holster and I'm happy
Lol, sorry for off topic rant but I couldn't help it, glad to see someone feels the same, I'm not crazy, well not alone at least

3rd time returning a Inspire.

Hey guy, so I'm gonna be returning my 3rd Inspire this coming week.
The 1st one had a few dead pixels and was returned within the initial 30 day grace period through at&t.
The 2nd time the actual screen started to seperate from the frame of the phone and would float near the corners and what I mean is you could lightly push down on the screen in certain spots and see it lift and rise.
When I got the second one, which I have now, it was fine then the GPS completely stopped working and I went to a warranty supper center where you would go after the original 30 day period.
I took it in there with the GPS issue and the guy wouldn't do anything for me and gave me the number for HTC and told me to call them myself and deal with them.
Now, the screen is floating again, and my phone has never been dropped or damaged.
I don't want to put up with this BS anymore and I want a new phone.
I got tired of my Inspire not correctly working and went and bought a Nexus S off contract. I'm happy with it.
What I'm asking is, should I just have it replaced and sell the new one to get some money back for the Nexus purchase or ***** and complain to at&t for a completely different phone?

Of all the forums I am on for the desire HD/inspire I can't recall one person complaining about their screen coming loose. I would say you are a little hard on your phones. Goodluck with your samsung product.
Very easy on my phone and always handle it with care, it cost a lot of money. Lol
I'm very anal which could also be my problem, but with cost of the phone, contract, insurance and everything else included, I should not have to deal with such issues.

Its hard for me to imagine such a solidly built device having so many problems, but yet all i hear is constant complaints from my wife about hers. Lagging or freezing, battery drains etc. it doesnt make any sense to me because I don't have any of theose problems with mine.
Hers was one of the first run as she got it on the day they came out. I wonder if that makes a difference?
I work at one of those device support centers you went to.
That screen issue is a manufacturers defect we've seen a couple of times.
I wouldn't bother calling ATT for a different model phone. They won't do it for you. I'm not saying it to be mean, but just so you don't waste your time. To warranty policy, that first exchange you did within the first 30 days doesn't count towards a warranty exchange. That guy at the device support center should have exchange it though.
If you don't mind, in a private message I would love your phone number so I can look up who handled your ticket in Opus and the date you went there. I know it's asking a lot, but a customer being handled like that needs to be reported to my bosses. Delgreco, and whatever the girls name that took his place at the moment while he's on leave, will not like that.
I would go back to the DSC and see if they will replace it. If they don't, get their ATUID and the managers name, as well as the location, and ask for their store code and shoot me a private message. If worse comes to worse I can do an XBM for you, but I would need pictures of your LDI and the screen stuff sent to me.
Anyway, PM me and keep your personal information, if you choose to go that route, of the forums.
Pm'd

Should you choose to send your phone number so I can look up the account notes in Opus (I can understand the hesitation to some stranger on a forum) send it to me via PM and not in this thread.

Guess there are a lot of bad ones. My first inspire had a problem where if you lightly pressed the center of the screen, it would turn off. On my second inspire (one I'm currently using) haven't had any problem with it. And I got it early March or whatever

I thank you for that thank you. As I was explaining partially to the OP in PM, the way this rep handled him makes me and the rest of the company that handles the DSCs look bad. At the DSCs, we understand dealing with anyone over the phone is a very big hassle. In fact, we try and keep customers off the phone at our location. Sorry to them, but the script monkeys aren't that helpful. The idea of the DSC is to put the customer in a face to face position with some one both helpful and knowledgeable.
With that said, I will happily extend an open invitation to any XDA member to PM me with questions or concerns. I'm not going to lie and say I can help everyone, but I will try my best.
At this point I would like to help the OP get his situation resolved. If there is no liquid or physical damage to his Inspire, then he has every right to a working device and should no be treated with such disregard.

Look at getting it replaced, especially if the camera lens is not aligned close to center in the back of the phone. We have been seeing a trend with the first run of the Inspires with issues like the screen popping up, the bottom volume button becoming jammed, camera not working, and phone not turning on.
If you're willing to wait until tuesday I can send you a list of where the DSCs are in your area if there are any, if not the WSC line would, *hopefully* be able to give it to you quicker.
I'd like to know if there is a DSC in my area. Greenville sc.

My first inspire had dust under the screen and pinholes in the black around the capacitative buttons. At night you could see a few spots where the backlight shined through. The warranty guy looked at me like I was crazy, but hey I'm anal and it needs to be perfect.

I smashed my ****ing phone because....

It kept re-****ing-setting and it was pissing me off!! I knew there was a reason I switched from CM7. Those random awesome resets. Its funny too cuz i was taking a dump when I smashed it on the floor. Hey I should have wiped my *** with the $130 I am going to be giving the insurance company instead of the toilet paper I used lol. So when my replacement comes in the mail, I will be using the stock rom!!
Im so angry I want to rip a baby in ****ing half!!
Why did you switch back to it then? Does it really cost that much with insurance? There's some shady looking repair shop in the mall I live near and the guy in there replaced my busted screen for $80
Sent from my LG-P999
I switched back because miui was being a pain! And I guess I forgot CM7 randomly Reset. If I were to replace the digitizer I would order it from eBay for $40 and replace it myself. Its not just the digitizer though. It's also the LCD as well. So if I were to order and replace both the digi and LCD myself, it would come to around $100 smackeroos. Why not just pay the extra $30 and get a brand spanking new G2x? I've thrown it quite a few times.
Insurance is rediculous on this phone! $130 every time I replace it.
Every time? How many times have you replaced it?

I could never throw anything that I spent $200 of my own hard earned money on. I treat this phone like aa newborn baby. There's a couple scuffs and a tiny scratch on the screen which was caused by me being stupid and taking my phone to the beach (yeah SAND was the only thing able to scratch the screen) and I feel terrible about those tiny things. I don't understand how you could just throw it. So baffling to me.

I don't see a reason to pay someone to do something that I, myself, am perfectly capable of doing. That's just wasting money. Besides, if you screw up the Zagg install, tell them that the adhesive isn't holding and you want to exchange it... it does have a lifetime warranty. As long as you can do it in two tries, it'll probably cost less overall (shipping the protector to/from Zagg) than paying someone.
Here's a nice tip to help you install screen protectors, though:
http://lifehacker.com/5927704/apply-a-screen-protector-perfectly-every-time-with-the-hinge-method
Personally, I think you're probably better off with a set of Great Shield protectors from Amazon... I think it's $10 for a 3 pack. My girlfriend and I have them on both of our EVO View 4Gs and love them. The one I ordered for the TF700 arrived today and will be installed when I get home from work. But $10 for three tries to get it right... I think most people would accomplish the goal for less than the cost of a shield installed at an electronics store.
If the answer to the question has anything to do with tablet computers, probably not.
ive already applied it and it looks fine. it was just such a pain in the ass because i wanted it to be perfect. its 10 bucks to get bestbuy to do it but if the guy ****s it up then i just have to be like, "no, thats not how its supposed to be" then i watch him walk over and get a new one and do it again.

After installing many screen protectors (and ruining many), I would *gladly* pay someone $10 to put it on for me - it can be a *very* frustrating process, to say the least!
Phones are not too bad, but tablets are much bigger and it's much harder to get the protector on just right...

Nah, being serious.
I got cargo pants with massive pockets, the infinity fits.

especially when you pay 30 bucks for one.... i would spend 10 bucks for the place to put it on and ensure that its on correctly since im not ever going to take it off... and if it gets damaged, zagg will replace it.
I've never had any problems putting them on. Just take your time, be patient, and use lots of the spray bottle stuff. Just like putting window tint on. First, get it lined up right, then lift each side to halfway point, and slowly smooth it down and get bubbles out.

I remember hearing something about the Best Buy employees soaking the device in the solution so they didn't have to try twice. Specifically soaking iPhones to the point that the solution would come out of the volume rocker and and other places for up to 24 hrs after install.
That said, i'll do it myself
Pfftt my 700 goes bareback... Yeah.. I like it raw..

Screen protectors really are like condoms.
1st they just don't feel right when in use and 2nd they can't really protect you 100%.
So I just use them the way they originally came.
