Hey guys so my dumbass did not have a case on my one x and cracked my screen is there any place I can take to get it fixed or anything I can do without paying up the ass. Any suggestions or options would be appreciated!

I don't have any advice first hand but as far as suggestions are concerned, you might want to try one of the 14,726 other "I cracked my HOX's screen" threads in the first few pages of the forum. Odds are you might be able to find some decent info in one of them, but that would require a little effort and actually searching so I dunno if that is a feasible option or not.

Personally, I would only go down the official HTC route. From what others say, it's about $200. Of course there are your horror stories with HTC service, but I would tend to think that all the people that had a jolly experienece aren't rushing to XDA to post.
Good luck.
P.s., I am posting this assuming you don't have insurance.

I would do the same, if I cracked my screen. Unlike most other phones, replacing the screen on the One X is not a simple fix, due to how the casing is constructed. Going to a 3rd party repair shop has a high probability of inferior results like this, and not all that much cheaper (if at all) than going to HTC.
One of my customers cracked his screen two days after getting it. He has insurance, but I suggested contacting HTC to see what they would do. He eventually got a supervisor on the phone who capitulated and offered to fix it for nothing more than the cost of shipping. It's worth a shot.

Ok, I'm moving an average of 20+ miss posted threads every week. All question threads belong in the Q&A section only. The Q&A section is literally 2" below the general section. There' s a link in my signature, that will point you to the XDA Rules thread. I recommend you spend some time reading them. There's a lot of important information in there that will help you understand how things work.
Thank You.

I remember a while back they had a thread and they said I was selected. Wondering where my test protector is, I tried to message them and ask them if they sent it but it says they don't accept messages. Did anyone else get their test protectors?

many of the people at my work place own one.. and none of them even know whats xda.. so is being unlocked still the key to that success?

I have an S3 on my account, I got it for a buddy of mine. I've spent a good deal of time playing with it and can't see the appeal at all. It just isn't anywhere near as nice as the HOX. 2GB of RAM, that's it. Everything else about it sucks compared to the HOX. My 1GB is working just fine for me.

Bingo u hit the nail on the head. People complain about the lack of removable battery. Ummmmmmm maybe 10% of pple would actually carry a spare. IPhone doesn't remove battery and I'm sure we're all aware of how well that does. And as far as storage goes, yea it wouldn't hurt to atleast have 32gb. But I havent filled 16. So consider me happy.

Then you should ask them. And couple people isn't everyone.
The main reason is: most users if they don't buy the iPhone they'll go for sammy because of the brand. You don't know much about a smartphone but you at least know they make good tv's, computers, refrigerators, you name it. Where else do you see the HTC logo? Many people didn't hear about it. So, obviously pick the Samsung instead.

What is the big deal about which smartphone you use? I would bet that most people on XDA are pretty well clued up about phone tech and so, money permitting, they will make an informed purchase, buying the phone that suits them best.
I own the SGS3 and yeah, I think it is top notch handset, but that doesn't mean I diss other handsets. I like to think I'm more evolved than that (though some of my pals would dispute that :laugh. If someone comes to me for smartphone buying advice, I will try my best to give an informed opinion based on my experience and their tech knowledge and needs...and quite often I'd send them down the iPhone route, not because I think it is a better phone (though Apple, whether you like it or not, make fantastic hardware, just a shame about the company ethos), but because it is probably the best phone for them.
Most on this particular thread will probably own an HTC...again good top noth handsets, but I personally avoid them due to a very bad customer service experience a couple of years ago (threads can be found elsewhere), but that doesn't stop me recommending them to others (though I do also relate my experiences). And many others on XDA will own a whole variety of other smartphones.
The point is, does it matter which phone you own? Yes, some people will spend a fortune on a top end handset just for bragging rights, but there's nothing worse than a 'phone snob'. Most of us on XDA buy what is best for us and are generally happy and if we're not, we switch.
You pays your (hard earned) cash and makes your (well informed) choice. Enjoy what you have, worry not what other think about it and be proud that you are part of XDA and have the knowledge to tinker with and give advice about your techie toys. Just don't get caught up in a 'mine's better than yours' debate.
Happy tinkering folks!

If you never unlocked your boot loader, then you're stuck with no option but to wait for an exploit.
This has been covered in multiple threads and the answer never changes
Haha sorry guys. Guess I've been around the skyrocket threads for too long. You should see how many dupe threads there is there. Thanks for the discipline. Hah. And well this sucks.

I set my poor phone on a slightly tilted box this morning and it fell about four feet onto a concrete floor and the screen shattered. It's usable but only for a bit before I get really angry with it. I'm thinking about a) switching to the SG3, or b) getting a replacement screen and attempting the fix, or c) both.
But the question is - where do I find a replacement screen that's compatible? Is this screen compatible?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULL-LCD-DI...355?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d04c74e43
Or is that screen just for the international One X?
I think you need the AT&T version. I think all the others are slightly different sizes. If anything it would be the international One XL, but I don't think it will fit.
There is a plethora of threads about replacing cracked screens, one of them must have a link to one that fits.
Sent from my HTC One X
Everyone I search I find only One X replacement screens, anywhere from $10 to $50. I can't seem to find a One XL screen anywhere, and I haven't found a thread with a link yet. I'll keep looking!

Except it doesn't - I'm not a fan of people who just fire back with "use search" because there's a similar thread. That thread doesn't talk about whether the One X screen will work on a One XL, or whether the eBay link I posted would work.
Can't answer your question about compatibility. But what I can say, is that I would not buy from a eBay vendor that hides all the cost in shipping. $50 for shipping is unreasonable, even from China. Its misleading and dishonest.

I will sell you my screen for shipping. I tried to separate the glass from the LCD. Impossible! Tons of adhesive. So I just ordered the LCD and screen combo from repair universe. Now it works fine other than the lights on the bottom three buttons where very hard to transfer the diode pieces.
(Edit) I ordered a brand new screen before take apart and now it just sits. You can have it!

It is the whole assembly , you will never separate the LCD from the glass with out breaking one or the other.

I replaced my screen with the international one x and it worked the only problem was that digitizer came defective and wouldn't get touch input on the right side of the digitizer so I ended up buying a att version digitizer 18$ BTW my screen doesn't have glue between screen and digitizer so I can replace one or the other without breaking them. The original one was glued. The replacement I got was not.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
after screen replacement have any of you had issues with screen separation?
my screen is cracked in the bottom right corner, and i was considering replacing it before it got worse. but if replacing it is going to cause seperation and light leak then i'll just live with it for now.
what about having HTC repair it?
anybody know what they charge?
Well , fine but no one asked this question : Can you use One X screen + digitizer on One X XL ?
No.

Hey guys. It's sad for me to say, but I just sold my One X tonight. Someone offered me a price I couldn't refuse. I just bought a Galaxy Note 10.1 so I may also get a Samsung phone to match.
I will miss this community dearly! Like I said in the 'Introduce Yourself' thread, this has been the best experience I've had on XDA since I joined. I hope you guys get JB soon. The wait was tough. If someone wants access to the files of the theme I made a while back I'd be glad to hand it over.
Take care guys!
P.S. I usually don't keep a specific phone for too long. I end up getting bored with it no matter how much development there is. It's just that there's so much different tech out there that I try to use as much of it as I can. Maybe it's my OCD, but I think it's just my love for technology lol.
