My Sensation fell on a concrete floor and busted the screen. The phone still works but the screen is only held in place by the screen protector and it needs to be fixed.
I've been researching repair services and there are none locally that I trust. I found one on the internet that seems okay, but I can't find any reviews for them http://www.werepaircellphones.com/htc-repair-service/htc-sensation-repair/
Has anyone used these guys before and does anyone have any recommendation for a USA based repair service?
Seems a little pricey to me. I know you can buy a screen off ebay for cheaper. I'm not sure how hard it is to actually put it on yourself tho.

So I picked up an HTC Inspire at no commitment from AT&T 2 days ago and had it in my pocket (along with leather wallet that had no cash or coins just cards) and sat down and when I checked my phone there was a hair line crack on the glass. The phone is pristine and I'm usually good with phones which is why I was completely shocked when I saw it. I am definitely going to AT&T tomorrow but I mean do I even have a shot in the dark with this? When I worked for Apple we were allowed to replace phones that even had spider web cracks in them and I feel the associate will believe me when I tell him the phone did not drop at all because there is no damage anywhere just a hair line crack on the screen. Possibly defective unit? I find it hard to believe that this can happen with such little effort!
Update: Took it to AT&T and they said they would not return the phone because of damage. It just sucks, is there anything else I can do? I got HTC rep contact info so I'm going to see what he says.
You're pretty much screwed unless you had insurance. HTC will cover it but you have to pay to get it fixed.
Never ever leave the with a new phone and not buy a case

You can still try returning it
If you call customer service your chances are better that they'll send you a replacement in the mail. It'll likely be a refurb though.
I've had my Inspire since the day before it was released and it's in pristine condition. Not a single scratch or blemish anywhere to be seen, it's protected with a Realook screen protector and Otterbox Commuter case.
So I have a G2, and after a crazy concert. My screen broke. Its not the digitizer because you can still see the screen. Its just the glass. Does anybody know how much it cost get a replacement screen, or a legit website I can buy it from. I'm more than capable of replacing it, I just need a website I can trust. Has anybody replaced the screen on there G2/Vision/DZ with sucess? Is it worth replacing? The phone works perfectly. Any help is good help

Unfortunately for you your digitizer is broken. The screen is the LCD panel.
The digitizer is the glass, so you need to replace it.
Follow this tutorial, pretty easy to do:

Good luck!
Kind of easy, but takes time. Not like the iphone, it tooks me 20 minutes to change.
DZ its more like 1h.
In the same time, order the HTC logo digitizer, on ebay its about 30$

I replaced my wife's digitizer the other week. It took about 45-60 minutes. I had the choice of buying one from China for $20 or one from the USA for $28 ... I didn't want my wife to suffer with the broken glass for too long so I opted for the $28. It arrived in 3 days.
Looks like the seller lowered the price to $25.75 with free shipping ... here
Use this teardown to assist you with the digitizer swap. I couldn't have done the job without it!

So...did you have a T-Mobile G2 then put a Digitizer with the "HTC" logo on your phone cause u broke it or do you just have the Desire Z...and do you think the Digitizer with the "HTC" logo on it is compatible with the T-Mobile G2 because i just bought one from Ebay that comes with the Digitizer and front frame and wanted to know from an expert
So just two days ago I asked about a case for my wife's new G2x. I took your guys advice and ordered the $25 case (forgot the name of that brand though).
BUT, today she dropped the phone (it's unbelievable!) and the screen is smashed. I mean cracked like a cracked glass. You can't even see anything when you turn it on.
What do I do now? Throw this phone to the garabage? Buy a new LCD? If buy a new LCD, how to look for one? OEM? Non-OEM? eBay? LG's site?
Any advice on this would be very helpful.
Thanks!
There are phone repair shops that can fix it for you I think. I tried to replace an ipod battery once, which required removing the screen, and I cracked it trying to open it. I'll never mess with a screen myself again. Ipod glass and digitizer repair was like $60, no clue on G2X.
Edit - I might just be clumsy, and if you're good with your hands, you very well might be able to do it yourself for cheaper.
buy from ebay and have someone replace it. should cost about $50 - $70
its probably a lot cheaper to just replace the screen, but you would have to order the parts and fix it/ have somebody else fix it.
In my opinion if you dont mind spending a little cash i would just dump it for a sgsII or a GNex
I dropped my HTC Thunderbolt a month ago after I upgraded to a S3 :laugh: and wanted to get around to fix it up so I can sell it off. Googled a bit but having some issues deciding wether to get a LCD Display Screen Replacement or the Touch Screen Digitizer. The phone's touchscreen still works fine and phone functions perfectly normally just the screen has a crack in it that I can physically feel. I was going to buy a the screen replacement but wan't to make sure I buy the right product to fix this and If anyone can link the item I need if not this one I would greatly appreciate it
If the screen still works, you need the digitizer. If you're not too savvy with electronics, I would suggest getting the lcd+digitizer combo.

Just about every digitizer in Amazon has about a 2.5 star review. Paying $65 for the combo set is kind of not worth it seeing the phone fixed would sell for $100~ making it only a $40 gain.
I am looking for a relacement screen & housing, for my one x ( rogers ). Currently can only find stuff for the one x and they are different. My phone got driven over, housing is cracked and beyond appealing. Phone still worked fine, until i dropped it getting out of the skid steer at work. any help, or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
$80 on ebay my friend, Just search for the ATT One X or HTC One XL. you will see them
I found one on there for $67 shipped today, but would the 720e work with the One XL? My gf somehow ran over the entire phone in a cheap silicone case, and somehow only glass and lcd broke. Phone still works in every way.
HTC will fix it for 220 and will also replace the housing. It took a week turn around on my phone.
