i accidentally let my HD fell on the ground one day when i get off my car..
when i picked it up i found that there's a crack on the screen, and the phone won't turn on until i pull out the battery and put it back
initially i thought it would be the damage to the LCD screen, but seeing the boot up screen i see no damage to the LCD, instead feels like there's a protection glass between the touch surface and the LCD screen... which is broken by now
is there any way to get it repaired? i'm living in China and i bought the HD from UK...
I think the part that you are looking for is the touch screen part. Try looking at ebay for some spare parts, maybe you can try to fix it yourself at home.
I am so sorry man. I can really feel you pain.
I would advice you to contact HTC directly and explain them the problem. I am sure they would get back to you with a solution.
Good Luck.

Hmm.. I thought the touchscreen shouldn't be usable if that's the touch screen part..? But it's still usable, just the crack is ugly on such an amazing device...
I don't think with my handwork I should try this myself disassembling my HD.. It would be stupid if I break something

Hmm, thanks mate.
Anyway, I was just wondering, if that glass is just for protection for such a enormous screen (I noticed Diamond don't have that class, you can see some waves on the LCD if you press hard enough; and at the same time mine broken but touchscreen still as sensitive as ever), maybe we can just customize some tempered glass like the iPhone screen and replace the original one?
It's a shame that it's so fragile, with the phone selling such a price. I could buy an LCD TV with the same price..
Any technicians can confirm what does that glass actually exists for?

Yeah, it's with screen protector.. But I don't think there's any help with just a slice of plastic sticking on the screen..
Anyway, the problem is I dropped it while it's in the stock pouch, screen parallel with the ground... Kinda lying on the ground
I AM SOORY , i spesk very little english and I am so sorry man. I can really feel you pain.
i have same problem with the glass that between the most surface layer and the LCD screen.
what happen with you ? and where ?
glass also broker
My phone screen also cracked but it works fine (both the touch function and the screen as no LCD spillage), the only thing is the hairline cracks on the screen (it seems that there is a glass between the touch screen and the lcd screen - i sent it to service here in Greece and said they need 320 Euros to replace the screen and casing !!
I'm looking for the best alternative solution on EBAY but i'm confused.
Is this what i need?

Today I received a screen protector in the mail (came free with a case), so I decided to change out the old one that came pre installed on the X10. Of course once everything was removed and when I started to apply the new one, all of the dust in the house was magically attracted to the new one, rendering it useless.
I'm now stuck without a screen protector, and have growing paranoia that my screen is going to get messed up. Looks like I'll have to order a new one.
Until then, does anyone have an X10 with the protector removed? Has your screen scratched after extended normal use?
I'll probably be stuck without one for a week so I hope it lasts.
Truth : I suspect you won't have much success, if any, finding someone who's successfully scratched their X10 screen. There is one user however, who's succeeded in cracking the screen -- I remember having read a thread about it

Well you've got at least two now, momerbk and gavriel18 on another thread has stated his is "mashed" now due to not having one, so I'd get one on asap.
Not forgetting the guy who's was run over, that was pretty scratched
I've gotten some minor scratches but they are very hard to see... and from my personal tests the X10 screen hides scratches better then the Dell Streak

Rofl, I saw that one as well, although it doesn't really fit into my "normal use" category
I'm pretty careful with my stuff, I'll just have to avoid buses until I get a new screen protector lol.
This thread is somewhat putting me at ease though!
Semi related: Are there any scratch test videos for the X10?
Multiple scratches and a chip. Still don't know how I managed that...
haha lol. I scratched mine within 3 weeks ... I have now one big scratch and a few little scratches blegh.
Are you guys sure you really scratched the glass or is it just the original screen protector? The original screen protector scratches very easily. That is why I removed mine and replaced it with something better.
mine is still mint, I work in bean processing plant(dusty), spend most of my days off at the beach with the kids. That's no proof that it won't get scratched one day but I doubt it will make people think less of me if i have a scratch on my screen

I'm pretty sure they all have them stock. Take a closer look at the lower part of the screen near the buttons. You should be able to see it there. it is an exact fit protector so it's almost impossible to see that it's there.

Hmm it does look that way, although I can't seem to get it if it's is one) off
Another quick question:
I've heard that some of the better screen protectors can actually hide previous scratches once they are applied, is that actually true?
I've ordered both the clear coat screen protector and also that free stealthguard protection thing, so I'm hoping that one of those will be sufficient

I put one of the free stealthguards on mine Saturday. I only used he screen guard not the full body though. It was a little difficult to get the oem screen protector off but only until you get it started. Once it starts peeling it comes off fairly easy.
i have my phone in a leather case without a screen protecter, never been a fan of them and my screen is immaculate... so far it is only almost 3 weeks old though

wow just found it, i never noticed it LOL, it's a thick screen protector, sometimes when texting i noticed the phone sometimes missed keys wonder if it was because of the protector.
so can anyone confirm that there phone has been scratched without the OEM protector?
I think that extra thick shield is supposed to act as a "shatter resistant protector" so that if you do happen to smash the glass you don't get shards and splinters everywhere. It is much thicker than any screen protector i've seen before and taking it off will ruin it.
I took my oem one off and now have a deep scratch , not a clue how I did it. If I could go back I would definitely use protection lol. They may not be as pretty as the bare screen but they work.
Hi all,
I've had my x10a for more than a month now, running 2.1 global and everything seems great. However, there is one thing that kind of bothers me. With the stock screen protector installed, I kind of feel that i can't swipe on the screen smoothly, lots of friction going on and the responsiveness isn't as great. This especially annoys me when I play Fruit Ninja, comparing with my ipod touch first gen. There is a noticeable delay when I swipe across the screen on my x10.
I'm wondering, will the sensitivity increase by a bit? ( im not looking for iphone4 sensitivity here, just wondering if it would increase after I install an alternative protector )
Do you guys suggest that I remove the stock protector and install a third party screen protector?

What kind of screen protector comes stock, all I have ever got on any phone was the cheap shipping plastic which is suppose to be removed, although I do see dorks walking around with it...

I took the stock screen protectors off and it's the worst. I've never had a touch screen work so bad. The only reason I haven't installed another is because the phone is defective, and I have to wait on rogers to get the replacement.
IMO if you want to take the stock screen protectors off, put a high quality one on right after. Also, I've been using the phone with no screen protector for about 2 months and I haven't scratched the screen, which is pretty impressive.
Yeah, I've removed the thin plastic that came with it, but it seems there's something more by looking at it's edges. Tried to remove it but wasn't successful in doing so...

X10 actually comes with the worst capacitive screen I've ever seen! Even without the protector the responsiveness is poor and most of the times it's hard to unlock when receiving a call!

The screen under the stock screen protector is the worst. And I'm referring to touch sensitivity, the images displayed by the x10 are quite nice.
So to answer your question, the screen's performance, for me, was worse after removing the stock screen protector. I've heard rumors that there are actually 2 stock screen protectors shipped on the phone. I'm nervous to start picking at the edges again, but if it's anything like the potential "outer" screen protector it's there but hard to see and difficult to take off.
Does anyone know if there are actually two screen protectors applied by sony before shipping?
Wow...I didn't even know it came with a screen protector lol. Well I'm removing it because it collects too much smudge/

there's is already a "screen protector" pre-applied on the x10. it's another kind of screen protector which i forgotten the term for it..and inside the box there is also a cheapo screen protector..so if u had use the cheapo screen protector..u are having 2 screen protector on ur x10.
anyway, the "screen protector" can actually be taken off,required abit of skill though. i had heard others removing it and comment tat it is much much more responsive.
but in my opinion i would not have taken it off,it was supposed to give more protection for our phone..surely SE dont put it there for no reason..
All that bad reaction especially in games has nothing to do with the screen, it's all about performance! 3D games with the x10 are horrible and mostly unplayable, you gonna feel if you try an Samsung galaxy!
Sony set the maximum fps that could be reached to 32.. which is in my eyes not smooth..
So for games you need another phone...
hehe i take on the protector that come in the box...so i have two.
The sheap one is terrible so i have ordered a new one.
But i will leave the one from se on even if i put on the new one.
Mine is from the UK and I didn't see one on my phone or in the box apart from the one on the screen that you are meant to take off.
I find that the screen does not respond well if you have sweaty fingers or even when there a drop of water on it but other than that, it is fine for me.
I got a screen protector from Stealth Guard now and it is very easy to apply. Now it works even with sweaty fingers and rain on it. This protector may not be for everyone though as my mates have trouble using it.

Yeah it's almost invisible.
I have removed both protectors that were on the screen. The only negative point is that its more exposed to scratches, nothing that a new thinner protector wont cure the sensitivity is a little better I guess but I think SE's bloatware kinda screws up the phones performance anyhow... Bottom line is that the phones screen is sensitive enough but the software is too slow, although I havent tried the 2.2 custom rom yet to verify this
Edit: Nor have I tried to uninstall the most resource demanding apps like timescape etc.
My phone was dropped earlier however only the glass is cracked, not the actual screen. Everywhere I look, they only sell them as a pair, but I remember awhile back seeing just the glass for a reasonable price.
Where can I get it now?
Thanks!
Here's a glass replacement for $12.80 (Free Shipping)... CLICK HERE

Note: This video uses a Fascinate, but the steps taken should be similar to replacing the Vibrant's screen.

Because that 'replacement glass' is a scam not a digitizer. It will not fit properly and will not function as a digitizer. If you look at the video, the removed digitizer has some wires on it. That allows communication w/ the motherboard. That glass is just glass. Even if you could remove the broken touch panel (digitizer) and fit the glass to the phone you would have no ability to use it.
The digitizers for all amoled Galaxy S phones are not available without the attached display panel. The replacement screen costs $95 just for the part, then add the labor and that is why it is so expensive.
If you notice, even the people who made the video (while showing the removal) don't sell the digitizer alone. Pro shops replace the whole assembly. If you can get the job done for $100 including labor, take it. It's a great price.

Not a problem. Unless you have done any repair work on these things you would not know. Most non oled display phones have the ability to replace touch screen and lcd displays individually. Unfortunately, not ours.
This scam works because most people that buy the glass never really get around to installing it, or if they do and it does not work they think they did something wrong. I have repaired a bunch of these things even if you could remove the digitizer sucessfully as shown in the DirectFix video, you can't get a replacement part. Also, this operation needs to be done in a clean room. Any dust on the amoled panel will bruise it when paired with the touch panel so a successful repair is very unlikely outside of the factory. That is why the repair parts are sold together as a unit.

You can't 'just replace the glass'. The digitizer and front glass are one and the same. They are inseparable.

What you saw was the digitizer/glass being removed from the AMOLED panel. So, as stated before, no, you can't just replace the glass.

Call me crazy but if people are buying these and not complaining they don't work. Then either they don't want to look stupid by saying they got scammed or they did replace the glass and is possible. I say it's possible but very hard since the thickness is about that of a piece of paper. I saw this on wiki for the superamoled little confusing.
Super Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode or Super AMOLED is a display technology (variant from AMOLED) mainly for use in mobile devices such as mobile phones (see the list below for examples). One of the main differences from other display technologies is that the layer that detects touch is integrated into the screen rather than being overlaid on top.

Anyone? Is that saying the display (lcd screen) has the digitizer built in the screen itself?

They are integral but can be separated.... just not rejoined and still work. Notice that the places that show the removal videos DO NOT sell a replacement part, just the entire screen. Most of the glass that is sold as a replacement is purchased from overseas. It costs more to return it than what was spent to purchase it. They are ALL worthless. If there are not wires coming from it it can't be a digitizer. If you remove your broken digitizer and are lucky enough not to destroy you amoled panel you still have nothing to replace it with. Most if not all people who buy these things never get around to attempting the replacement, or if they do, they destroy the panel in the process so they never get the chance see that the glass does not work. They think they screwed it up instead of being ripped off. That's why you don't see negative feedback about those things.... It's the perfect (almost) scam.
If you want to replace your glass buy the entire assembly ($95.00) on eBay and at the end of the process you will have a great phone again instead of a pile of junk.... not to mention feeling like you screwed up your phone.
Well what I'm going to do is wait for my brother to go to Verizon then take his vibrant and use his screen and mess with mine. Though I need to buff out the scratches. If by some miracle I do make it work I will post here. I hate when people find a way to fix something that some of us are trying to figure out and never report back how or just say "I fixed it was simple." WTF WAS IT! had to deal with that with my plasma which I finally did find one thread and fix it.

Digitizer and glass are factory glued together under high temperatures impossible to separate.
Just buy the whole assembly for $90 ( i've seen them for $79 once) with free shipping and tools on ebay. I always send offers using ebay "ask a question" and sometimes they give me few $$ off. Then it is a piece of cake since you can brake off the glass and remove the whole assembly that way.
My personal Vibrant is made of all kinds of used Vibrants and screen assembly comes from Galaxy S 4G which is good replacement too if you also want to get front facing camera.
technically can be done
while i don't recommend anyone else try, I was able to separate the glass from the screen. the glass was cracked but the screen still worked so i bought just the glass thinking it would be an easy replacement. so when i came to find them glued together i used my hot-air gun to melt the glue and remove to broken pieces of glass one by one, very carefully. when putting it back together with the new glass i couldn't re-glue it but the back tray holds the screen in place well enough. there was only one side effect that i have noticed so far. the glass is a little loose since not held to the screen, and i did burn the screen a little bit with the heat gun and it now has minor discoloration. but it is possible with enough patience and a steady hand.

Any follow up on this?
Any video/help for broken galaxy s1 i9000 glass?.
I meam the front thing as i understand its just a piece of glass and not a touchscreen. But for the phone you talk about its a touchscren and not just a glass
Fortunately I didn't notice any of hardware problems mentioned here (multitouch, light bleed), but there is one pretty annoying "feature" regarding display - it's polarized in such way that it's unusable with polarized glasses in portrait orientation - why would they do that, i didn't experience that on any other phone or tablet that I own. To be honest, if i knew that before, might even reconsider buying it...
Don't use polarized glasses, simple. Polarized feature is not necessary.
Well, you could call that the easiest solution ?. Funny enough, I haven't been using polarized sunglasses for long, just bought my first pair couple of months ago - guess I should go back to regular aviators.

So we'll just replace expensive/quality glasses with ones that have poor glare reduction then :\
Yeah, this sucks. VERTICAL polarization on a phone screen, what the heck were they thinking!?!? 95% of phones are 45 degree or at least horizontal

Yes. If you want use this.
The real question is: do you really can see the screen of this phone or any other phone with sun glasses? I can hardly see the Note 9 screen with 1000 nits... C'mon

Yes, I can see other phones screen 100% fine with polarized sunglasses. That's the whole point of polarization in sunglasses - it only reduces the brightness of light that is too bright, rather than cheap sunglasses that just dim everything.
98% of sunglasses use vertical aligned polarization, which is why like 98% of LCD displays do NOT use vertical polarization - to avoid 100% photon neutralization.
Watch a video on YouTube for the science or something. It's a crap move from whoever made the LCD on this device no matter how you spin it.
A bit of googling discovered that Xiaomi used similar screen in other recent models (redmi Note 5, Mi A2). Apparently fitting glass screen protector can fix the issue. Anyone can confirm this? I never used screen protectors, but might give it a try if it helps.

Simple glass screen protector? Maybe someone with polarized sun glasses can do a try
There are many glass screen protect for pocof1 on amazon. What do you think about them?
https://www.amazon.it/s/?ref=nb_sb_...creen+glass&rh=i:aps,k:pocophone+screen+glass
Is there a way, without screen glass polarized, and with one of them screen protector, see the same if this idea will work?
Edit: should be work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67p5phutxc4
Ordered screen glass protector from the amazon.
same problem here! and funny enough i havent been using polarized glasses for few years then i bought a pair a month ago! i've bought a screen protector (tempered glass) on amazon https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B07GTJM4C4/ few days ago, i'll let you know if it solves the problem.

It's a while since I did physics at school but I can't imagine that much has changed in terms of the way light travels. I don't think a simple screen protector is going to have any impact on the orientation of polarisation of light from your screen.
I don't mean to be unhelpful, but it strikes me that the only way round this is the most obvious one of removing your spectacles
Edit - just googled and found this interesting thread addressing the same issue with an HTC 10. One poster suggests using a waveplate to scatter the orientation, but this is a bit ridiculous since I'm pretty sure your touchscreen would be massively compromised (waveplates need to be fairly thick and are rigid as far as I know).
Take your glasses off or use the phone landscape I'd say
It doesn't make sense to me either, but some Redmi Not 5 users in this thread claim that it did help. Doesn't hurt to try, I ordered tempered glass from aliexpress, will see.
I've ordered the glass protector just for protection but I'd be nice if it worked like it does in this video posted earlier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67p5phutxc4
Edit: I remembered I've got a spare glass for another phone at home, I'll try as soon as I get my lunch break and I'll let you know.

I posted the video in post #8
@fireblade Sorry I didn't have time to follow the link earlier. Really interesting! Presumably the screen protector and/or its own protective film (which you can see in the video) must between them scatter the light?
I would be careful about removing the film from the protector, since this might be the bit that's doing the magic.
Consider also that your overall brightness is likely to be reduced somewhat by this scatter.
Good luck! I'll be really interested to hear how this works out
as promised i tested the poco with an old screen protector and i can say it works a beauty! its not crystal clear but its definately readable! and i just tried holding the glass between the lcd and the sunglasses, it may look better once applied properly. sorry for the poor quality pics but photos were taken with lenovo p2 (sh*tty camera) and i was in a rush.
cheers

You need to remove the protective film (1 Back, etc..) of glass protector to be sure that all works
I don't think it makes any difference since it is a normal plastic film.. But I'll check it properly tomorrow when I get the poco's tempered glass.
I think it might be due to quantum properties of light, this video seems to explain a similar concept, not sure though

Probably no difference, but better to be sure.
