Hello,
I bought a HTC one S, but i let it fell.
It makes a boot sound, and the keys light up.
However the screen does not do anything.
can someone link me a cheap new screen?
Thanks,
TheRinseM.
Cheap ones won't be as good. They won't be Corning glass and will break from small impacts. Also, as the screen is OLED, you'll need a new one of them too, as well as a digitiser. You might just want to send it back to HTC, as opening it up yourself voids your warranty.

I dont know if there can be compatibility issues but you can buy my dead one s c2 screen: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221263366999
it should work, but I cant be sure, since the phone seems to be completely dead after some software issues.
Screen might not be broken, maybe the connector has knocked loose.

Hi All,
I have checked the forums and tried finding the answer to this but haven't had any luck. I was putting on one of those "military grade" screen protectors on my wife's Sensation 4G last night (the kind that you apply water to the back of and then place them on the screen). Long story short, the screen works now (after putting her phone in rice overnight) but the screen is fairly dim and it flickers a bit. I know I will have to replace the LCD portion of the screen since that's the only part that got some water on it from the screen protector application.
Question is, does it matter which LCD replacement screen i purchase from eBay? i have read a bunch of threads that the digitizers are specific and may not work correctly if you get the wrong one, but does that hold true for the LCD itself or can we simply buy any new LCD replacement screen from eBay and install it on the phone (the original digitizer will still be used since the touchscreen works fine).
Any help would be greatly appreciated...i feel like a dope for causing this by applying a screen protector, even though my G2x didn't have this problem at all after applying the same screen protector from the same seller.
Sorry for bumping up an old topic, but I am interested in this too. Anyone can shed light to this matter please?
OP: Did you end up replacing your LCD? How did it go?
So hey you where installing a zagg screen protector?how much water did you put on the screen?

I still think those water application screen protectors are a ridiculous idea. Who's idea was it to use water on electronics?! Normal screen protectors do just as well. Make sure the lcd screen is the same physical size, pixel density, made specifically for the device, etc. Try pick the most reputable seller. But you WILL notice a difference in the screen, either colour, sharpness or response.
Ever since I got my Sensation and I learned and experienced for myself, the dust under the screen issues... I really started hating HTC. I really feel (and still do) that the Sensation was one of the sexiest looking smartphones ever designed, so I was truly sad to realize that it was plagued by such a design flaw...
Now I ask, former Sensation owners and others.... are you afraid about the Sensation issues following suite and plaguing future phones, such as the One S?
I think this can only be answered in a few weeks, when a sufficient number of devices have hit owners' hands and we see if the issue occurs or not. Speculation until then is not going to accomplish much.
But we know that even without testing.... for example, the Galaxy Nexus' chance of having dust under the screen is almost impossible, because the glass and the digitizer is fused together....
I don't know if the same applies for the One S, or if the same technology is carried over from the Sensation.
I read about this in one of the reviews on tech blogs, and the fused screen assembly does apply for the One S - hence the thinness. So if this makes the issue improbable, I guess there's our answer.
Sweet... even more of a reason to pick this up... peace of mind.
just found this thread after receiving my one s today and noticing something under the bottom right touch button
best described as a smudge/as if someone has used a marker pen under the right button, clearly visible when the button light comes up
sending mine back and getting it replaced, hope it's just a one off as it's really not meant to be like it is
HTC One S
I have my HTC One S for the last week and I can tell you I've yet to notice any dust under the digitizer. It seems like the amoled screens have to be fuzed to the digitizer because that's how my GS2 was and no dust under that one. I only keep a body glove feather case on it for extra grip. No screen protector or anything else and it stays in my pocket. No problems as of yet.
Dust under the screen is not an issue with amoled screens.

There nothing inherent in AMOLED screens that prevents dust - my HTC Desire was full of dust a the end.
Super AMOLED, however, which the One S has, with a fused screen & digitiser should be immune to dust under the screen.
I've never seen HTC use an Amoled screen on a Desire. It's always been from what I've seen LCD or super LCD. Unless I'm reading the wrong specs for the desire or desire HD. LCD consist of the panel and the digitizer, they are not fuzed together and HTC has a terrible rap for not setting them right, or not sealing them correctly.

The Desire originally came with an AMOLED screen, they switched to LCD when supplies of AMOLED were low.

That would explain a lot. I just know with all the amoled devices I have owned in the past, not a single one of them got dust under the digitizer. They did however have a dead pixel or so after a while of use. I want to know how long the olephobic or however you spell it coating on the One S is going to last.

SMh... broke my digitier/lcd on my One X today!
Was gonna replace my back housing because it was cracked and had scuffs to put a white one on,
but when I was doing the first step I went into the wrong slit and slid my tool in between the LCD/Digitizer!!
Only a few centimeters from the edge, guess it was enough.
Now the screen doesnt turn on AT ALL!! Phone still boots and capacitive buttons light up and vibrate
I'm not sure where to start, I hope I can get it to work still but I dont know what to try now.
Im a noob, but the only thing I can think of is to dissamble the whole phone and then
blow dry it and separate the LCD/Digitizer and put them back together after inspecting.
This happened by sliding a guitar pick in between the LCD/Digitizer.
I only went in a few centimeters from the edge until I realized I was doing something terrible wrong.
I was trying to disassemble my One X.
It still works, I plugged in MHL adapter and it works, could navigate normal, just that the LCD doesnt turn on.

A) $75+ for a new screen and attempt to fix myself?
B) Sell it for as much as I can? $220?
C) Try to get AT&T/HTC to replace it even tho I rooted 2.20?
You know how long its been since I read about a Hox issue that hasn't been posted yet???? I feel bad, that sux, it really does, but this was by far the funniest thing I've read about in a while

I did the exact same thing you did! That's why I've got two HOX now. I had to purchase the LCD/digitizer combo. All fixed now. I still have the digitizer screen on my desk. Sucks I know.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
you can try that but doubt it'd fix anything. Plus the LCD and digitizer are seriously bonded together tight so it'd be hard to take it apart fully without breaking the glass. I've replaced my LCD/digitizer twice, and while it's not impossible, it's still very tedious and risky. So if your gonna do it yourself I'd suggest making sure the place you get it is atleast somewhat reputable so you don't get another faulty screen, and don't use super glue to bond the LCD to the housing! (lol that was what I did with my first screen and it destroyed the screen). And be prepared to be left with some more scuffs on your housing. Otherwise sending to HTC shouldn't be a problem, even with root I think it's fine. It's just a screen repair, its not like root could cause really screen damage. Good luck though on whatever you decide.

thanks for the reply, um do you think HTC would fix for free if I play dumb and say one day it just stopped turning on?
I've decided not to try to separate the LCD from the digitizer, way too work.
and an xda member said he'd sell me his lcd+digi for a good price but its a HTC Branded one instead of AT&T, i think it will work the same tho,
I got the HTC logo digitizer/lcd. Worked fine vs the original att one

alright good to know! I prefer it to say HTC anyhow since im not even with AT&T! Im T-mobile!
so you really did the exact same thing as me!? guitar pick in the wrong hole!?
How far did u push in and try to separate it til you noticed u messed up BIG TIME?
I was in denial for a good 10 minutes =( still kinda am... smh
I went a little farther than you and got angry though. Totally destroyed it. Lol! Couple things. Make sure you get the adhesive strips. There is a metal casing that goes around that LCD that likes to pop out if not glued properly. And I got mine from repair universe. Not perfect but pretty cheap. Only issue is captivate button lights don't transfer over, and I had to silicone the edge of the LCD to the digitizer cause it started getting dust between them. Pain to say the least. I taken these apart enough now. I'm comfortable with it.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
u bought the LCD+Digitizer and the capacitive buttons still didnt turn on? Hope mine will work.
Also can u point to me which YouTube tut was the most helpful for you?
I wish there was some way to fix the LCD I have now tho, still in good condition aesthetically =(
Yeah it sucks that most newer devices really bond the LCD and digitizer tightly. Once (if) you take it apart you'll realize what we mean. Its possible but very unlikely with original screen. And taking the LCD off the housing is near impossible to do without breaking the LCD in my experience too. So make sure to get LCD+digitizer. And as far as sending it to HTC, I'm sure you could try but once they figure out what you did I'm sure they'll charge you (why wouldn't they? ). There was an amazing YouTube video made by some company (I think it was irepairfast) that I used but after many people complained about their service here on their one x, they removed it. So sorry, just look around for some good ones.

I agree with what xaey said. Depending on the LCD/screen you get the captivate buttons may or may not have the little fiber optics on them. I just went with the cheapest one I could find cause I'm a tight [email protected]%. There are NO good videos that I could find on tear apart and none on putting it back together. Take you time and keep an inventory of what you do. I lost a screw and its still missing inside the repaired phone.

When replacing it, just take them optics out of the original, it has very lightly adhesive but it should come off easily and then put them on the new one if it doesn't haven't them already, it should still be a bit sticky to do so. Another problem is possible light leakage (you'll know what I mean if it happens, basically more light shines through than just on the buttons). This happened to me, which is why I don't keep my capacitive lights on. Worst part is you won't know until you turn it on unless you can connect the screen to circuit without bonding it to the housing yet.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
alright I'll try that if it doesnt come with capacitive lights. will attempt to replace it next week. I hope I can do this correctyl!!
Well put xaey. I tried to transfer those over and there was way too much light bleeding from the side and bottom. Plus they were a pain to get in there. I tore that thing apart 4 times. Lol trial and error. So I just put some sealant over the captivate area. Unfortunately that does not disable the lights to them.

Lol yeah I know what you mean. I ended up putting some black electrical tape over where the light bleeding was on mine (just under the capacitive buttons) before putting the screen in... and it didn't help much, it just looked more weird looking at it from different angles haha. So I just keep the lights off.

eww I do not want to see leakage from the bottom!
Hopefully i get lucky and only have to take apart once and be done with it!

I've peaked around eBay and I found a few different digitalizer plus LCD replacements. What's the difference between g23 and 710d? I can seem to find either of those numbers on my phone box. Also how hard is it to replace the entire screen?
I have some experience with this. Either replace the digitizer/lcd assembly or sell the phone and get a new one. It's possible to replace just one, but it will always look like **** when you're done, and it's not just a matter of ungluing the two layers.
If you are willing to buy a new assembly, is actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. Make sure you work in a clean area. Also, be sure to get the att screen. The international one does look cooler with its HTC logo, but it's not a perfect fit. What that means is a lot of light bleed on the edges and capacitive buttons not lighting up at all.
Best of luck either way!
Viper Rom, baby!
I've replaced mine 3 times so far. The first time you replace it , it WILL be a major pain more than likely. I recommend you find a GOOD video on YouTube or something and follow it closely. (Careful there are a lot of videos that are just atrocious..). Also as stated, get the full assembly for LCD+digitizer and to be safe, get the one with at&t logo. I have heard that the international one works but the fit might not be perfect. Anyway, good luck.

OK so the first phone I got wouldn't work with any screen. Problem cause it wouldn't. Turn on from the beginning. The second phone came. I plugged in LCD with green cable said at&t at top from source above and it wouldn't turn on so I plugged in another one from the source above it had a yellow cable said htc and the Sony one that ssid I had also turned on. The HTC ones seem to be slightly smaller but after I put the sticky tape I think it will all be OK. I just have to do it rite. Also, both screens from supplier above look remanufactured cause they both have black tape and the digitize seem to me to be thinner / glass not so thick. But they come with good black paint and light redirect things for soft buttons. So in short. Buying from him is unpredictable. As I got to different. Screen types. I have only bought two from him. I will post a picture after I assemble the phone today
So I got some good news for my Att version. I ordered this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Full-LC...low-Green-Flex-For-HTC-One-X-XL-/360612529957
1. its not a sony, its a sharp. Its yellow on one side and full green on the other.
2. mine came with a sony screen. I killed my old screen getting it off (just lights up white). I booted my phone with the old sony screen, waited till the phone went to sleep, then swapped the screens. The sharp screen fired up just fine.
3. This was a perfect fit with the HTC logo. the ambient light sensor lined up, and it has light guides that line up. Also there was not the 2mm gap with the international versions.
4. One problem. The "holes" in the touch panel where the misaligned light guides/buttons are still there. So you will see the leds on the botton assembly when they light up. I recommend painting the blank spots over with a few layers of black paint.
I think what is happening is the international version has the buttons directly over top the led bar and does not use light guides.
I recently bought a used HTC One S. Its in great shape and I've only had it for a few months. A few days ago I noticed an air bubble on the left side of my screen. At first I thought it was a crack or a scratch but the glass on my phone is fine. It keeps getting larger and I don't have any money for a new phone at the moment so I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or knows how to fix it?

I have the same issue .. just started for me... last year my broken screen had been replaced...
Theoretically this will occur when the digitizer is getting apart from the screen. As you may know, the screen we see it's composed from several layers glued together. The digitizer is the last layer, the one we touch and transmit our touches to the OS. This is also the part that usually gets broken (if the shock wasn't too big ofc to break the actual LCD screen).
You could go to a service, they are used to replace such parts and they could glue it back. It might be possible that your device had the digitizer replaced in the past and it was not properly glued as it have been initially in the manufacturing plant and that's why you have the issue
