I bought my HTC S710 just 5 months ago, and my LCD screen cracked while in my pocket!
Did anyone has such a problem?
Is this problem common with this phone?
Do you know if warranty is valid for this damage?
Not a common problem, seems like you would have put too much pressure on it or bumped it against something. I've sat on mine after forgetting it's in my back-pocket, but I keep the LCD inwards and have had no problems.
You probably won't get it warrantied, but it's worth a shot.
@beijmanli wtf!
@SAHILISTHEBEST yeah your device needs to go for service.
and no its not common, i have dropped my device couple of times but not a single scratch yet. I have a scratch guard film on the screen.
yes, i've found in other forums also that this has now become a common problem for VOX and many users have complained about this matter. I think that since this is a manufacturer's technical defect and the Company should take the matter into consideration as this damage is caused not due to mishandling. the below mentioned url proves the same:
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/1120701/HTC+S710+-+LCD+SCREEN+CRACKES?t=anon
Had the same thing happen to me, basically my fault (screen turned out)
If you have it in your pocket, turn the screen inward and you have a lot less problems
Yes the display is a bit touchier because its so big. (for a phone) its up to the user to be carefull I doubt you'll get it serviced free, although the trend to "not my fault, all your fault" is clear

I felt amazing when i saw that no physical damage is caused to the housing or any other part. The screen cracked by itself within the housing.
It seems there is some problem with the internal structure of the phone. It cant resist too much pressure i guess.
Hope HTC manufacturers understand this problem soon.
Well in my case it was just a bit too much pressure on the center of the screen, this can happen easily, by hitting the corner of a table for example. You wouldn't see an effect on the housing sind your pants would stop any scratches etc.
Lesson is: Always put the phone with the display to your leg/arse/whatever, just don't let it face outward.
New Screen + Fitting!

thanks Voxer,
The manual was really cool n helpful.
I called the HTC Authorised service executive in India n told him the problem. I told them that since the damage was not due to mishandling and my screen broke by itself. they exaxmined my mobile and after makingsome more calls to some of HTC officials, they agreed for the screen replacement of my phone and allowed me a discount of 40% on the new screen.
this link helped a lot:

Hey guys, New to the HTC sensation threads (its my Girlfriends phone)
Got her this phone about 6 months ago - 1 week after having it she dropped it and broke the digitizer anyway i got that fixed at my local phone shop with aftermarket digitizer - it worked well but you could tell it was not genuine.
anyway the other week i dropped it and broke the lcd screen yet the digitizer is fine and the phone is still 100% useable - except the display looks awful.
Does anyone know if this is an easy fix, is it worth fixing myself or taking it to the phone shop - Im embarrassed to go back and explain how it has broke again lol.... But i need to get it fixed, Im so close to having my wang removed by my girlfriend.
I was wondering whether or not HTC themselves would repair it ? and maybe replace the digitizer too, I dont mind paying the extra £££ for genuine parts and to be fixed by genuine HTC repairmen..
Any ideas how i can get out this mess ??
sorry for the long post.
Thanks
Off course HTC will repair it, but it'll take longer and probably charge you a lot more than what you can it fixed for.
Out of curiosity do you/your girl not put the phone in a case or something?

Haha, no i did not.. But as soon as i get it fixed im gunna invest in a bulletproof / bombproof carbon kevlar box and keep it locked inside it !!!
Was it bought through a carrier or sim free? Could always take it to your carrier and see what they suggest, although they're not normally the cheapest, but at least it should get done properly.
Yeah i got it through vodafone, I think i will give them a call and see what they say.
I was considering taking out insurance, then in a few days call them and tell them its broken, This is risky.... what do you think the odds are with me getting away with it ?
Do you think they would notice the aftermarket digitizer ? It is an exact replica with HTC on it....
these damn phones are so fragile.... I miss the old nokias

No, you won't get away with it, and it's dishonest, anyway. Don't make yourself a criminal over a cell phone.
Now, that being said, check Ebay. There are lots of vendors in the UK and elsewhere (lots here in the US) that sell replacement screen kits, many of which include instructions and tools.
If you're handy with small tools and careful, you can do this yourself for a fraction of what it will cost you to have it done. I learned this when my kid's iPod battery died some years ago. They're not user replaceable, and Apple wanted some outrageous amount to do it, plus you had to send it away. I found a guy on line that sold batteries with tools and directions, and in 20 minutes, she was good as new.
Pays to do it yourself.

I totally agree with you !! i do not want to result to fraudulent behaviour... BUT, i dont want to pay approx £80 for parts and make the whole situation worse by possibly making more damage.
BUT i also dont want to pay approx £150 - £200 thinking i could of fixed it for much less by doing it myself.
I am good with stuff like that and am very gentle and careful..... but i dont believe in myself lol
I recently replaced mine. Its not too terribly hard to do. But you have to get it just right. Currently the digitizer is a bit slow and unresponsive at time but I think i didnt get it in there completely right. So I'm going to dissaimble is again today and get it suck in better and see of that helps

Since the Sensation screen is made by two different manufactures is it possible to mix and match them or do you have to replace the screen with the same one with phone came with? I have a Sensation that needs a LCD that I have not taken apart yet. Im wanting to get the better screen but im not sure if I can just put the better screen in it if thats not what it came with in the first place.

Well it's much better to replace it with the same display just to be sure it's going to work. There's also a side by side comparison of the Sharp and Acer (AUO) displays
That said, you can check what panel you have using the instructions on this thread:

The display on my phone is completely destroyed so I cant use terminal emulator to look it up :-(
EDIT: I was doing some research on the part numbers on the back of my screen and I found this thread...
http://pdaclub.pl/forum/sensation/dziwny-kurz-pod-dotykiem/
Post #8 has my same part number as mine (74h02057-00M) listed and in the same sentence AUO. So I have to assume it had the AUO screen which kinda sucks.

Ill let you all know how it turns out....
Well I got the screen and digitizer from the link above today. Installed it and its perfectly fine. No lag anywhere, registers touch like the stock one did. The LCD panel seems to be the same quality as the AUO panel but thats fine with me since im pretty sure this phone came with the AUO from the factory. If you do decide to replace your screen and digitizer i suggest getting them as separate pieces. Having them attached to each other made it sorta difficult to get back together cleanly.

well the day after i got it fixed i knocked it off the side onto tiled flooring, it cracked the lcd but not the digitizer... so weird lol
anyway since then i have had some signal issues with my provider, they have established that the handset is faulty, they are collecting it to repair it.
I still havent had the screen fixed so im just going to see what happens when they go to repair it, Maybe they will think they broke the screen and fix it before returning it to me. Or maybe they wont.... if thats the case i will argue with them that it was fine before they took it away from me
after all, they must have 100's of these phones in boxes gathering dust in their warehouse(s) so a little arguing and im sure i will get it fixed / replaced.
Shhhhh Moms the word !!!

I dropped my three-week old HTC one X on driveway by accident. The screen was shattered like a spiderweb. So I ordered a HTC One X screen/digitizer replacement from Amazon.
Today I tried to follow each step described in youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceHw6mezG60). In the last step when tried to separate glass screen from LCD, the LCD was ruined.
The glass and LCD were glued very tight. In my opinion, it is almost impossible to separate them safely. There are some differences in cables and connectors between the US version and the one showed in youtube (i assume it is the international version). There is one cable in the AT&T version that is very hard to disconnect.
Just to be clear, I consider myself very handy in electronics. I hope you can learn from my lesson. Tomorrow, I am going to send the phone to HTC repair center. Since I voided the warranty by disassembling it. I have no idea how much they will charge me.
i learned my lesson on this with a friends Inspire 4G...I have changed many many iphone screens, but the Inspire was a whole different ball game, and i would expect the One X to be even worse.
You are right, pay someone to do it.

Why don't you just order the whole LCD/digitizer/glass module? And of course the things gunna be hard to separate, you need to heat it up A LOT to loosen the glue

Agreed
I learned my lesson with iphone/ipad digatizers. Of course its less than half the price for just the digi but the lcd/digi combo is definitely the way to go. If you do get it separated you have a lot of cleaning to do to get all the old glue/glass off and they are much harder to get back together than you would think. Also invest in a good set of tools. The tools are garbage that they send with the parts.

A screen is about $50, and a screen/LCD combo is at least $180. If I knew it was so hard to separate, I would probably order the combo. Another concern is, I am not really sure that the LCD/glass combo from ebay is as good as that from HTC.
Fyi I had HTC replace my cracked screen. They also replaced the housing (new case, yay) for some reason. They had it for two days plus 3 days shipping time to get it back. Total cost was $220. I'm handy in electronics but seems this is the way to go for now based on costs for the full assembly. They really had great service through the process and you can track the repair online.

Oh how I wish I saw this thread before..
So I sure did break my digitizer.. and when I tried to replace it, it sure was glued to the LCD, and it did come apart lol. On the brighter side, I got a new digitizer and tools, I ordered an LCD but they shipped the wrong one.. but I will say this, I don't think it's that hard to take apart and reassemble.. aside from everything being glued together, and from what I gather the international version is not this way. Everything seems to make sense. I am starting to get lonely without her working. Sometimes I ADB into her just to say hi, mount my storage and make sure I got everything out just in case I butterfingers it and short something out. So aside from my agreement, here are the lessons I have learned.
1) Have a hair dryer handy, that glue is like concrete.
2) Don't just tug that battery cable out, the wires will come out of a socket (took 2 hours to get em back in)
3) For those of you whose digitizers and LCD's are broke.. "adb shell /system/bin/sdutil ums enable" will mount your storage so you can backup some stuff.
4) That torx screw driver you think you might need, haven't seen a torx screw yet, just loads of glue.
5) Take pictures of stuff before you disconnect it, and how you disconnected it for reference in reassembly.
6) This is the correct part # for the LCD 60H00664-01P, except no substitutes.
7) There are little crystal gluey things on the back of the digitizer that go through the case and transfer light. Don't expect them to fully light up ever again without remembering to move them (if you can)
8) It's worth fixing, sure I pre-ordered an HTC-One, but my One X will remain my phone because I love her, she's my first HTC and by far my best android ever. My HTC-One will be for Dev purposes >
9) Resist the urge to take the heat shield off to see if you can upgrade your storage by some kind of hidden micro sd, even if there is one, I'm sure it's got 5lbs of that crappy glue AT&T insisted upon.
10) If you think you want to change your digitizer just to rid your self of the AT&T logo, It's not worth it, I'm in it for 18$ for the digitizer and $43.99 for the LCD. Sure it's worth the money, but my sanity is long gone, I will name my next dog sanity.
You guys are the best ever! Good luck! God Speed!

I think I might do this if AT&T doesn't let me take my upgrade early to the One. So you would recommend HTC to do this? Just out of curiosity, was your phone rooted/romed when you sent it in? How long ago was this done for you?

Well..
Not that if he can't do it no one can, but the threshold of glue being heated to separation vs. the heat destroying the lcd is so close.. and the parts are so cheap to get independantly of one another. In the words of the hunger games.. may the odds be forever in your favor.

Hmm..
LOL figures I would run into a problem like this, new screen stops the phone from booting, old screen fires up the phone, if i plug in the new one while its running, the new one works fine, if i restart, back to death.. i could reassemble with it still running and pray i never need to restart my phone, but that would be messed up.. any ideas?
I've never had problems with it. Even while drinking. Just apply heat, then pull. If it doesn't come that easily, then it isn't hot enough or hasn't heated evenly.
Btw the combo fpr screens and digitizer rins $50-75 on eBay

Hello
Alright, so I had my lcd digitizer combo replaced, since the glass was broken. At first the lcd didnt work because it was AOM or something like that and wasnt Sharp's model like originally, but i syncded it as follows:
1.Took out the battery
2.Connected the old screen
3.Put back your battery
4.Start your phone
5.Wait about 2min to be sure
6.Take the old screen and replace it by the new
7.Press power button
8. Should be running and working.
But now.. after assembly it does detect the sim card, but gets no signal, so i cant make calls go to internet etc.. But wlan however does work ?
is there something I broke in the progress or ..
Hoping for some help, thanks

Sure sounds like you didn't re-connect the cell antenna correctly. Those ribbon cables are a *****. Could also be the little EMI tabs that come off of the blue antenna PCB and connect to the case, I would think (just guessing, as I'm staring at my disassembled phone right now).

I'm not positive which is the cell and which is the WiFi, to be honest....
Hi everybody,
today ain't a good day for me.
My phone just smashed accidentally onto the road, after it had slipped from my hands. I was on the second floor (about 6 meter).
SBAM.
The impact was terrible, as you can see in the photos.
The "SAMSUNG" sign was completely turned into smithereens, and the fragments of glass were arrived up to the mainboard.
Despite that, I am trying to repair it.
I have just disassembled the entire device and I am planning to buy the front panel (+ lcd).
The question is: how can I know if the device still works ? Any idea?
What would you suggest?
I suggest you save money for a new phone..
You post make me sad
I don't believe, that you will find somebody that would be brave to check if this stuff still work. As you have on above post, the cheaper will be to buy new one... :fingers-crossed:
thank you all.
ARGH...I know, it's a pity, this wasn't supposed to happen
I'll save money for a new phone, yeah. I believe I don't have other choises (buying a new lcd is too expensive).
Thank you again, fellows!
well damn......that makes me sad and I have to say i dropped mine a lot of times,i have even trown it when i was angry but i can say that a few side scratches and back case scratched is all that's on it...lucky I used my momax case i guess.still i don't recommend it if you guys want to keep your back phone case free of scratches
i think is cheaper to buy a new smartphone than to repair and/or replace the screen
so sad:crying:
Bury him

the screen will cost quite abit if im not mistaken. not worth the trouble as well. just get a new phone
Also, are you sure that the screen is the only thing that's broken? A drop from that height is more than enough to break the motherboard.

90 dollar for a replacement screen. But I guess that's just the front glass, you also broke the back.
Ye, a galaxy nexus seems fine, or maybe a motorola defy+ if you want something cheaper, it's just 200 now, almost the same specs as the galaxy s and it's meant for heavy use as you still see the screws...Seeing the damage you can cause, it's probably fit for you.
Maxx DE here.
So im an idiot and had a few too many and dropped my phone real hard on the sidewalk and cracked the screen. Its my fault, she went down hard and now had a few small cracks thru the screen. Normally I wouldnt mind, as they are not too noticable, but it seems to have split right through the capacitive buttons down at the bottom of the phone. This is now causing issues with those buttons functioning properly.
I have successfully disabled them and gotten the phone working with on screen nav buttons, but i am still seeing slight issues with the performance of the screen. Mainly i believe because even though the buttons now do not control anything, the phone still can see they are being touched. (my symptoms are the screen will not timeout sometimes, as well as increased battery drain i think from the registering of all the button presses from the crack). Otherwise the screen works fine.
I have been reading up on a few options. Moto wants 200 buckos to repair the phone. I have found the lens/overlay for the screen/digitizer but i have been watching youtubes, and it seems pretty difficult to properly remove the LOCA glue and reapply the new lens, especially for someone who has never repaired a phone before.
So my question to you guys is, has anyone ever just repaired the lens/overlay and had successes? Should i just pony up the 200 and have Moto fix my phone? Are there any reputable repair shops in NYC that members have used (I hear a lot of horror stories about these screen repair places and am hesitant about just trying one out)?
Thanks!
I would send to Moto. Little cash no more worrying about it, don't have ship around for days, don't have to ask a lot of ?, and I know it was done right with original parts not some knock off our quality no name parts. But that's me, my sanity and time is worth the money to me.

Ya, thats what i have been leaning towards more and more, as i research and look at parts. Seems the safe way for self-repair is to buy the whole front LCD+Glass assembly, which in that case is like 20 bucks cheaper.
It just seems redic to me that asurion does not cover developer editions which is crazy since i have been paying for that insurance for the past year. It would have been nice of them to tell me that my phone wasnt covered when i activated it.
Yeah no kidding. If was paying for the insurance on a phone that wasn't covered I would throw a fit to get refunded. That's like getting a car loan only to find out it's not for your car.

Well, you can always use ebay, they're like 180 dollar and it includes lcd/digitzer and frame, it should be easy... These droids are relative easy to fix.

Yeah, i was thinking that, but for $20 more I will prob just send it to moto for piece of mind that the repair will be done right and backed by them.
