Any tips would be appreciated.
Maybe links to somewhere i can get the parts for cheap or a repair service.. thanks
You can get a cheap digitizer at Amazon.com, and there are a few videos on YouTube that'll teach how to replace it.

I got mine from RepairsUniverse.com. It was 67$ with shipping. Order their double sided tape, too. When you get it, disassemble according to their YouTube video. To remove the glass, use a hair dryer to heat the glass, and nudge it out with the plastic tool they provide. If you go slow and don't rush it, the whole process will take about an hour the first time. Clean the frame well, and place the tape on it. You'll have to cut the piece provided, so don't worry if it doesn't line up exactly. Press the glass down on the tape and reassemble the phone. BOOM.
Also: if you want to do something REALLY cool, search for the white digitizer and battery cover. The all white G2X looks awesome, and you can get the whole kit for like 80 bucks USD.
I never needed to use a hair dryer. It's fairly weak adhesive that keeps the screen on to the glass.
Look up the YouTube video. I actual commented on there about my experience replacing it. Same user name but with an x at the end (buru898x).
Oh and you also don't need to "re-tape" the screen either. The screen is locked in securely with or without glue/tape.
Actually I'm going to replace my aunts g2x this Saturday when she comes over. I got the digitizer plus the alluminim bezel (idk if it is aluminium or not) for 60 and I got it 3 days. I use Amazon

This is the digitizer I bought, and I used a video on YouTube to do it. It was by repairs universe. It was really straightforward. You need a Phillips 00 screwdriver.
This auction had the housing as well so all I did was replace it completely. Simple.
Good Luck!

I can tell you mine works perfectly.
I even opened it once more recently to get a few specs of dust from the screen out.

so heres the story. it was on my kitchen table. my cat jumped up on the kitten table. the phone fell OFF the kitchen table. it landed on my wood flooring, and BAYYM. shattered like a christmas orniment. i can say the screen is fragile.. very different from my Galaxy S phones, which have been dropped numerous times, landed on concrete, and have dropped inside of a machine at work (lol). guess this is why samsung desides to make those "cheap feeling" light weight builds..

It also depends on where the phone fell, screen first w.e , and and the energy when it hit the ground. The must have been hard.

Yeah man that sucks. I dropped my Vivid the exact same way except it was outside on concrete. I am assuming you didn't have a screen protector on? Some screen protectors are said to spread the impact and protect it better.
Is it easy to install the replacement screen?
Also $45 isn't bad at all. My wife recently did the same thing to her Samsung Infuse and it cost $150.

You weren't the first to break one...HTC was the first to break it when they released it.
This is relevant to my future interests. Did you successfully replace the screen? Is it true that the screen is laminated/glued to the LCD? How did you pry it apart? Can you post instructions on how you did it after the deed is complete?

If the rattle is around the camera area, don't worry about it, there's somewhere in a thread in here talking about it and if I remember correctly it has to do with the camera and is present in all of the devices.

I had this phone for a week keeping it sparkling clean besides the broken glass.
I hit the glass accidentally bumping it off the side of MacBook. Go figure. Yeah I know Gorrila Glass 2 is crap.
Based professionally looking video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5TRf0REyMM
I chose IRepairFast.com to fix my broken glass. I paid $200+.
I am attaching pictures.
Also what you cant see on the pictures. The new screen is definitely not this same quality unless it was not installed properly.
Lastly, there is additional bleed on the buttons.
In retrospective, I should have done it myself or just not to bother fix it. Definitely would not recommend it.

Apparently, "I Repair Fast" is not synonymous with "I Repair Well".
On another note, I know that some folks have had light bleed (from the capacitive buttons) on brand new HOX's, so that part may not be their fault, but just the display itself.

I sent them this thread plus extra pictures. Disputing the charge is not an issue to get back the cost of the repair. The bigger damages are that they made $350 phone ($550 bought on amazon - $200 screen replacement cost) worth now $150. So it is additional negative $200 swing.

Hello, this is John from iRepairFast,
The HTC ONE X is a very hard repair. This is due to the thin form factor of the phone pushing the internal components to be extremely compact. In order to accomplish the thin design, it uses an integrated screen, which is the glass, digitizer, and LCD molded together from the factory. These are not possible to separate. When replacing the glass or LCD you have to replace both at the same time. The main problem is the parts that are used for these repairs have the glass and LCD joined by a very thin piece of adhesive. While the parts ARE OEM replacement parts, they aren’t joined together in the same fashion, as when they are assembled in the factory. Due to the glass and LCD being separated by a thin soft piece of adhesive you can get a large amount of screen flex (The glass pressing against the LCD). In order to compensate for the screen flex a liquid adhesive is applied to the outer glass and mid-frame and then wiped off. This eliminates the screen flex problem.
Most likely the issue is that the adhesive didn’t cure correctly and slightly leaked out of the mid-frame during shipping.
We hope that you will contact us about your issue; we apologize for the inconvenience and would like to correct it and reimburse your payment.
That's what I'm talking about ^^^^^^^

wow dude, thats a big wtf. They left glue everywhere. they ruined that phone for sure!
Thanks for posting this thread!
Look in the bright side... At least you didn't pay $300.
But seriously, it is a hard repair. Just look at a disassembly on YouTube, its freaking ridiculous, especially if you've repaired other phones, such as myself. The Samsung Vibrant, 3rd gen iPod Touch, and HTC Mytouch 4G are a breeze compared to this.
I do agree on the screen adhesive however, I bought some 1mm double sided tape to put the screen and phone back together, and it still creaked a little.
Good thing he offered to replace it, I'd be super pissed.

Hey guys, i've finally found a case i'm satisfied with. I've been looking for cases around on ebay, always buying those random 2 dollar-10 dollar tpu crap.. and was never happy because it made my phone feel bulky. After a lot of research, I found the Incipio feather ultra thin case for about 22 dollars. Its a lot more than what i would spend on a case but I guess i can say its worth it. It feels ONE WITH THE PHONE. Its light, feels strong and sturdy... just simply clean and elegant. The feel to the case is like a strong sturdy plastic for the structure, and the surface touch is like a premium rubber type material with a matte feel
here are some pictures just because I love this combination so much, hopefully it'l work out for you guys too..
remember to click thanks!

Right now, I'm using their Silicrylic and love it.

Hmm I like it, very nice. I like how it doesn't cover the top or bottom, or come over the edge too much(around the rim of the phone). Thanks for the info.
Does it cover the camera enough so you can lay it flat on its back?

So cases like these... If you drop the phone screen first it'll probably shatter. My question is do you think that the tpu cases that have a tinyyyyy amount of lip would protect the screen any more?

about the case not covering the whole phone it does protect it pretty well. the corners rise slightly up higher than the screen. if it falls, most likely it would fall on a corner, or slanted right? what are the odds of the phone landing flat on the screen, perfect 180degrees? but if it does happen to land on an EDGE of a stairs, or a rock(flat face down again) then yeah that might be a problem
but yeah i recommend this case if you want to keep the sleek thin feel of the one x, cant stand thick tpu cases on big screened phones, its like carrying a brick
I just ordered the grey one from amazon. I figured everyone has a black case so grey might look good with my phone. Especially if it's the same color as the grey HOX. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Bah, Amazon's tracking number says this won't be here until Friday. 3 day shipping, bah! Thanks Amazon, Thanks.
This case is still on sale on Amazon at around $15 incl delivery. Quite a few people have reported delivery issues (delays, cancelations, etc) but from what I've seen the people that have the case are pleased. Just so you know the case cones in two pieces (thanks All__fun). I think if someone wants a cheap but theoretically durable case, this is a good starting point. If you don't mind waiting.
It is nice and well made. It is definitely the bulkiest case I've had as of yet. Also it's difficult to charge using the lg wcp700. It works but has to be put on the charger precisely.[/QUOTE]
All__fun said:
let me just add,
That after having the phone with no case for about a week now,
adding this case truly adds girth to the phone.
Previously the phone would slide easily in and out of my pocket,
you can't tell in the picture, but the case is actually a 2 piece case, a soft inner case, that the phone slides into, and a hard outer cover that gives the phone it's design. (the white, black, pink, or blue distinction.)
This is probably the best case out right now for the phone, but I can't stress enough how thick and bulky the phone is now. If you are willing to sacrifice it's sleek design, this case offers good protection.
I don't have a screen protector on right now, so I cannot add whether or not this peels off or interferes with the protector.
I will also add that with the Ionic case on, when looking at the lock screen, I find it more difficult to swipe left and right between different lock screens. I have a screen lock pattern, and that registers my finger strokes rather than a swipe to a different lock screen.

No slit there lol.
I actually like the look and I think it will do a great job protecting this phone.
I'll keep everyone posted my estimated delivery date is DEC 6-10th

Those ugly circles are killing this choice for me. Ugh.

can anyone who ordered it (from amazon) post these qustions on the product's page? i can't since i haven't made a purchase via amazon yet.
1. is there a speaker cutout?
2. are there optional dust plugs for it?
3. if it's on stock on dec 17, will it arrive to NY before christmas?
thanks!
a seperate question: did anyone find a drop test with this case? i don't seem to find anything on youtube, i couldn't even find an official site.
fugly
i have to agree with the rest of you that it is one fugly case. ugh the price of protection.
If you hating on the circles just get black?
I ordered a blue one just because I'm board of black. I will let you how it is when it comes.
Perhaps the cutouts allow it to cool a bit and also make it lighter.. I don't think it looks bad.
As long as proximity works and the USB and head phone jacks are open I would buy it..

Possibly the uglies case I may have ever seen. But in terms of protection, it looks promising. For ten bucks I would order one right now, if Amazon would accept PayPal. Anyone know of a way to bypass?

Oo-er
These are a ballistic brand knock off. The final ballistic cases are much better bit they take a long time to come out.

Hey guys,
I had a chance to review this new product by SGP and as usually I really really liked it.
I think it sits at a good price for the quality. HOWEVER, be sure to order the front/back combo as it is THE SAME price
enjoy!

Update :
The bubble in the bottom part never went away because there is dust under the shield and that is simply because I suck at installing them ..however I'm still very happy with the quality and the fact that I have another one that I can install once I get tired of this damn bubble (,each package has 2). It can get a little greasy tho.
Perfect fit with S line and both Diztronic cases

Use tap to remove the dust or the sticker things that come with the Spigens.
Does anyone have a coupon for this?

Nice review! I think some poeple forget that the edges are curved a bit and its hard to make a screen protector that doesnt bubble up

Correct . screen shields can't go all around in this type of device. Kinda making me sad as its gonna be very hard to get a full glass screen shield which I love . let's see if SGP or any of the other companies are able to step it up and develop it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
FYI, "front" version comes with 2 pieces of the front protector
"front and rear" comes with 1 for the front and 1 for the back
So, if you are already protecting the delicate back of the phone somehow, you might want to get the two-front version to have a spare one, so if you mess it up applying the first one you have a backup.
Even though I always somehow manage ton get dust under the screen on the first attempt I love SGPs screen protectors. The initial attempts were messed up but i ran the protectors under HOT water wiped them with my hands and they all installed flawlessly with no bubbles or dust. So if anyone gets these and manages to mess up on the first attempt just run it under hot water wiping it off and try again. I have the dual on my N4 and the matte on my N7, hope they make a matte for my N4.

it's not that hard. You use one to lift the edge of the screen protector and you use another piece to dab the underside where the dust is and then set it back down. Also try installing using the "hinge" method to get a dust free and much easier install.
How do you guys get 2? I received mine yesterday and only got 1 in the package

You probably ordered the Front & Back protector.
Just ordered an ultra oleophobic one and will let you know how it is when I have got it. I'm quite useless at putting on protectors too but have been practising a lot with cheap ones and I've got a certain way of doing it now. Squeegee is your best friend!!
Because I'm a Nexus b!tch and I like to run the latest source and binaries!! AOSPA!
Thanks for the review and it was great you showed actually installing the screen protector so often they just talk about it.

I can't decide with version I want. Is there much of a difference between the two when it comes to light glare? What about resistance to scratches (on the SP, not the screen itself). If you have a case that doesn't quite meetup with the SP edges, do you get a trough of crud after a while?

The Oleophobic protector is more prone to scratches than the Ultra Crystal version.
