I tried searching all over googleverse and youtube but not luck on a guide on how to open a G2 to replace a LCD. so this is my last resort at looking for an answer. does anyone have a guide or can tell me that its simple to disassemble the device?
Sadly, I wouldn't think there would be a simple fix to a screen like this, simply because of the hinge, although I could be wrong. What happened to the phone, these things have only been out for like a month.
Maybe OP was doing some durabilitiy test... or he was like his avy and fell off the skateboard crushing it =[
lol no, I was going to buy one off some guy on ebay to fix for my GF but so far no dice on the repair guide.
repair guide? LMAO
i think you're going to have to make your own repair guide
you will be a hero to many
Maybe pm the guy that tore his apart on here. He may have some tips.

What do you think about the screen bezel? I'd love to get it off and have it and the batt cover anodized.
Sadly karma has stricken me for posting in this thread I assume. I had a Zagg Invisibleshield installed, and the "solution" got underneath my screen and has messed it up.
Anyone ever find a replacement for this?
Also I was thinking of calling HTC but figured they wouldnt fix it.

BE SUPER CAREFUL WITH THE MICROSD RIBBON CONNECTOR. 2 pins on mine got messed up and now the vibration doesn't work...so be aware/be careful!

Here's one you can use as spare parts/replacement screen. If you do get this, I might want to buy the main-board off you to repair the stupid microSD connector...ugh, still can't believe I broke 2 pins on it!
Thanks!

Me too. I want the HTC logo on the front dammit! Let me know if you find what we're looking for. I already bought the HTC battery cover without the "G2" logo.
Hi there people...
I have had a good look on the web for a replacement housing like the one in the link but i can only find them in the standard colour. I'm after one in white or sliver, does anyone know of a good supplier or website where i could purchase one from?

It's a LOT of work, I wouldn't recommend it unless you damaged your phone.
As inspector gadget would say 'WOWSERS......'
that does seems like a lot of work to change covers!!
i'd definitely go for it if i have found one but it seems there isn't.guess you'll have to buy a white desire for it,i heard it gets dark stains around it after a while,but not sure if it'll happen when you use it properly.
Bump!
Where can I buy White/Silver/Black full housing?

From my experience, OEM housings aren't the best things in the world... unless the manufacturer has exact specification from HTC, they won't fit as good as your original housing does.

Hi,
You dont understand definition of OEM

hey, this thread may help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851524
id rather not change this just for the looks of it... i actually checked the entire procedure of dismantling and assembling the screen... so many little steps where u can skrew up. i would probably set up my working place longer than actually work on this!
Hello,
Earlier today my friend stole my phone (well I say friend, he's an idiot), and when running away with it, it flew out his pocket hit a wall and then hit the ground.
It's not in the best of shape... The touch keys now stand out about 1-2mm from the rest of the phone, the back cover doesnt fit on right, and the sdcard falls out with no assistance needed.
I'm under o2 and got the phone in may, anyone know if their warranty or HTC covers this? I'm guessing not but what do you think? I still have like 18 months left of the contract so would like to have a phone in proper condition if possible...
Er.... No. Insurance is your only hope. Or getting your friend to buy you a new one

Thought that was the case just checking. Found a site online that can supposedly do a casing replacement for £50 so I'll look into that (and murder + charge my friend).

Dude....get the full body replaced by HTC and they will charge u for it....and may take around a month to get the full body as they order it from Taiwan..if u luck they may have it in stock....just got a full body replacement as the paint was fading...free of cost....O2 will take more time to fix it for u....so the best way is to get it done via HTC...call them up and order for a full body or visit ur nearest HTC shop.....hope ur phone is fully working....

Murdering of friend of yours will be best way to fix your problem
I got in touch with HTC, and whilst they were very helpful, they apparently can't tell me how much it would cost to repair until I send it to them. Then if I don't like their quote I have to pay £22 anyway for them to send it back, and then it would achieve nothing. Does anyone know if the following site is trustworthy?
http://htcphonerepairs.co.uk/HTC-Desire-S/Housing-Replacement-Desire-S.html
Do you have any HTC service centre in ur area...if so they can check and let u know the total cost to repair....if not get it done via O2....

The testimonials seem good and it is cheap. What have you got to lose?
I'm probably gonna go third party as it's easier and probably cheaper. Thanks for all your help guys, much appreciated!

Hi Everyone,
My Sensation (her name was Candace) died last night. I was unlocking the screen and it suddenly froze then turned off. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get it to turn back on. I tried changing the battey, charging, etc. I took it to the T-mobile store and they took a look at it and said it was dead. Then they told me there was good news/bad news. The good news was my insurance plan meant I could get a replacement for $5. The bad news was there weren't any showing in stock and it was backordered and there were no alternates listed, so they didn't know when I would get a replacement phone. The salesman said that they were supposed to tell me that I would have to wait, but he said that he remembered how much I rely on it and that he would talk to the store manager. The store manager told me that an upgrade to a Samsung GS III would be $100! So I'm now the owner of a GS III. I miss Candace, but I like my new phone.
Since everyone on this forum has been so great, I'm offering a few semi-free items to anyone living in the continental US. Send me $5 to cover shipping and you can take your pick of the following two items:
1) Used Anker 1900 mAh battery.
2) Used Blue Case Mate Gelli Case for the HTC Sensation.
3) Used Case Mate Tough Case for HTC Sensation
If you want one, send me an e-mail at [email protected]. I can't use these anymore, so I figure I'll send them to someone who can.
Thanks everyone, it's been fun and I appreciate all of the good advice I've received.
Cheers,
Joe Gonzalez

That happened to me once but all I had to do was remove the SIM card and SD card and it fired right back up.
I tried that, but no luck. Frankly, I would have been satisfied with another Sensation. I really liked that phone! I can't really afford the $100 they charged me for the upgrade, but I'm going to sell one of my .357 revolvers and use the money to pay for the upgrade and get a bow, so it will work out.
For everyone else, here's a pic of the stuff I'm giving away.

Mine has just done exactly the same. Has gone back to HTC for repair, but I suspect it might be the Google Maps update problem that other models seem to be experiencing.

Hi guys.
I have recently upgraded to the HTC One Mini and I have to say that I'd love this handset if it wasn't for the fact that the plastic edge/chassis keeps cracking. I am on my second handset as Vodafone were happy enough to replace my first one when I reported this issue to them but it has happened again on my second. These small cracks were not there when I first got either of the two handsets but seemed to appear after a few days of use. I have been back to the store again and they will replace the handset or let me change to a different model/brand so there is no issue there. My question are: Has anyone else had this issue? As I can't seem to find any info on other instances. And, Does it's big brother the HTC One have the same issue as I may upgrade to that?
Cheers guys any info would be appreciated.
So I got mine from Vodafone the first day they came out ..your post has had me scurrying to a bright light to check.
So far no cracks...pheeeew
Where do they appear for you...can you take a picture? Are they the same place each time?
Can you think of anything you may be doing that could trigger it? Heat etc
All the best,
Sam

I do have photographs but I can't upload or link them as I don't have enough posts. I will do it when I achieve the 10 post mark.
The situation at the moment is that the Vodafone store manager has passed photos onto the local HTC rep and we are awaiting a response. As for potential causes I have no idea as I am particularly careful with my phone's (to protect resale values) and even more so as this is a brand new handset.

Hi, I'm planning on getting this phone in a few days. If you want you can PM me the pictures and I'll upload them in this thread for you. Otherwise you can probably upload them to an image hosting site and then link to them.
I experianced the same issue !
I preordered the mobile, I got it like a month now. I take care of this mobile. It never fell on anything.
But it has this mini mini cracks on the plastic edge (left corner, downside.)
It wasnt there when I got the phone, but it appeared from nothing !
Same as yours.
I guessed that the phone got hot while charging, and the aluminium started getting a little bigger. So the plastic was pushed outside and cracked.

after 5 days no problems and no cracks, i keep you updated if something happens.
I received mine device yesterday and have spotted no cracks.
wonder if this is vodafones (euro) mini or the US as well. I'm abit hesitant now on picking this up with a chance that the plastic frame might start cracking later on.
Hopefully this will work. There are a couple more cracks on other photos but I have left them on my laptop at work.

Not much has changed since my last post I have noticed one more crack and I am still waiting for the store manager to get back to me with feedback from the HTC rep, I may pop in tomorrow to follow up on the issue.

also have a small crack at the volume down button... and I even use a silicon case
mine is from Vodafone-DE.
Is everyone having this problem using this a Vodaphone user or is it happening on all carrier's versions?
I hate to say it but mine is still crack free. Got it from Vodafone UK on the 17th August.
Crossing my fingers here...
Hi,
I have also two cracks, one at the volume down button, and one at the bottom side of my mobile.
Vodafone DE will replace it, but actually they know nothing about this problem. Looking forward to my replaced mobile.

Same cracks at exactly the same positions, also with Vodafone-DE.
I will wait for the black-version - don't think it will work, but maybe I will get a new black one
i have one on mine near the bottom... its a new AT&T model
its not serious enough for me to be bothered... pretty much every HTC phone ive ever had has had some sort of manufacturing defect like this (HD2, Sensation, MT4G, One, One Mini)
i've got about three cracks on mine from ATT- doesn't seem like too big of a deal but if it leads to something (for anyone) we should all agree to come back here and say.
Got a new device, warranty by VF DE. Actually no cracks, production date 01.09.2013.
Hopefully better quality...
