As someone who has done it...

If it still works with the crack leave it alone. There is a nice HTC disassembly video out ther & you can get the bits from ebay. I initaly just bought the screen £20, but it's bonded to the digitiser £20 & so it's best to get the combined unit.

Pulling the phone to bits is OK, reassembling it should be OK, but there is nothing nothing to hold the base of the screen to the body without the special glue strips. I am used to repairing things, but all the connectors are soo small. I have gone back & check but can't see what isn't making contact.

I now have a working screen, but no WiFi, Bluetooth, or camera & a big hole in the bottom of the phone between the screen & the back. I wish I had just decided to live with the black patches on my display where something had leaked.

If you can get the job done for £60 inc parts do take it, or wait for your contract upgrade
[Desire HD General] MrLarner:
I managed to find a company that will fix it for £45 all in, that includes sending it back to me special delivery, so i sent it off today, i'll report back in a few days will my review on them.

they said it'll take 2-4 days to receive the phone back.
[Desire HD General] Nicodevries:
I paid 150 euro's to replace the screen (which was the cheapest in my country), and my button backlights dont work anymore.

3 months later a crack came in there again, out of nowhere. It was not really annoying... but it hurt my fingers as i was moving around the crack; so i bought a screen protector to put on the screen and can hardly feel anything right now.
[Desire HD General] MrLarner:
They also assured my the new screen is a genuine HTC screen, not a fake dodgy 1, so like i said, once i get it back i'll review it and let everyone know what their like.

but for £45 all on, if it is genuine i'll be chuffed.
[Desire HD General] alpick36:
Looking forward to hearing your results. Got a cracked LCD a it has leaked, not considerably so can still use it. been quoted £35 for the screen but have to fit myself, so £45 sounds like a really good deal.
[Desire HD General] MrLarner:
if you've got ink leaks then you'll need a new lcd as well, and £35 for both lcd and glass is really good.

but i dont fancy trying it myself, watched a few video's and it seems like a hard job.

i'd struggle just to keep track of where all the screws go :D
[Desire HD General] jwzg:
I have repaired mine with a preassembled screen and digitizer kit from eBay, sent from HK. I think it was around $60 shipped. Unfortunately the cap buttons do not light up properly and the screen ha some light leaks around the edges. I was given a $10 refund, so I'm not complaining. It may be with the Xtra to get a preassembled unit though...if it works right.
[Desire HD General] nicebabygirl:
is your phone back already ? :)
[Desire HD General] MrLarner:
No, i sent it special delivery on Wednesday, they e-mailed me on thursday saying they had received it and that they'll get straight to work on it and they will e-mail me again once its been sent back to me which should take 2-3 days.

so i'll probably get it back monday.

so i'll give them a review once i receive it back.

but so far so good, had no problems with them, got quick replies from then when i contact them with queries. :)
[Desire HD General] dj westie:
Did this work?? Crack My Screen this morning. Dropped it on it's face outside!! DoH.
[Desire HD General] MrLarner:
I'll give you my review but it'll be a quick basic 1 as I stopped using the phone within a week after getting it. It's now just sitting on my bedroom side but here goes.....

The company itself were amazing, replied to all my questions via phone call or E-mail.

They text me with every step that was taken on the phone so I always knew where my phone was.only downside was that once I received it back, it wasn't as good as expected. Yes the new glass was solid and everything worked but there was a small gap at the top and it really bugged me. To the point I stopped using the phone.

I mean it's bearable if your not worried about the gap, it's not came away from the screen/phone at all.

Ps- if you want to ask any questions about the service, free free but like I said, only downside was the gap at the top. But I was warned I will get that with every company that fixes it.

and now there are several inky spots which disturbs me

I called the HTC Care, they said it will be $150 for making an LCD replacement

Hello everyone.My friend's htc hd is having a broken screen and i cant unlock it to sync contacts.When i connect it to pc,it says phone is locked and i cant do anything.Any solution?I only need the contacts.The repair cost is near 200€,so he will not fix it,it doesnt worth it.

Are the contacts not saved online? Tell your mate to check his Google account ( log into Gmail then look in the top left corner under contacts)

Let me know If that worked
[Desire HD General] batman1908:
No he doesnt have sync with gmail :(,that would solve the prob.

These screen repair charges are outrageous!!!:eek:
[LG Optimus 3D] Franzferdinan51:
Okay so our phones apparently have dual channel ram honestly. Idk what this means for us Ik we have 512mb does this mean 2 512mb sticks actually adding up to 1gig or does it mean 2 256mb sharing processes also what does it do please any answers would be nice I moved from the sensation and I like this phone it seems faster than it or the evo 3d
[LG Optimus 3D] V1P3R_BR4Z1L14N:
Dual channel increases the max bandwidth of memory by using 2 channels instead of one, we probably have 2 256 mb chips, each one with his own channel.

It should help in bandwidth intensive scenarios (gaming for example)
[LG Optimus 3D] Franzferdinan51:
thanks simple and exactly what I wanted
[LG Optimus 3D] alankstiyo:
should help but in some cases is useless, it's better to have just one ram unit
[LG Optimus 3D] V1P3R_BR4Z1L14N:
tell that to tegra 2 :)

btw, how more and better can be worse? :D
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
Do you have any link that supports that or is it from your personal experience?
[LG Optimus 3D] fuzedbyhtc:
Im an ITT graduate for computer forensics. In this age part of my learning was to forensically examine all smartphones as well since they are just as capable in hiding data as computers are. Dual channel means 2 channels of memory as opposed to one to increase bandwidth just as mentioned above. Part of the reason computers are getting faster and gaming smoother is because of increased RAM channels and video cards increasing in GPU Cores and memory lanes or channels, this applies to phones. I actually have one , LG Thrill 4G or AKA Optimus 3D and tested it with a benchmark against some of the newest devices the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 both with quad core processors and single channel RAM. My results are as follows:

Optimus 3D: 1856.4 Mbp/s

Galaxy S3: 821.66 Mbp/s

Note 2: 849.39 Mbp/s

As you can see the note and s3 have same memory architecture and practically tested the same the difference was probably in the amount of apps running in background. The LG tested more than double the speed and it only had about 270mb of free RAM at time of test as opposed to the 1300+ mb or 1.3gb or RAM free on note and galaxy. Faster RAM means more responsive gaming and smoother graphics. Now the processor of the thrill 4g is ages behind so its almost unfair to compare app launching and phone reboot to the other devices I have but even the processor difference the RAM tests speak for themselves. Devices in similar time as the Optimus wont even come close to gaming and video playback because the faster the memory the more you can process and more efficiently as well. I'm sure that there is a game or two out there that would run better on the LG than even some of today's phones its just a matter of searching and testing.

I am quite honestly puzzled at why that was the only phone with dual channel RAM, I would have expected today's quad core devices to utilize this architecture and result in much faster smoother running phones with astonishing overclocking results.
[LG Optimus 3D] OS_Hacking:
Thaaaaaaaaanks for this answer! !!

But I have a question .. in overclocking is that damage the CPU ??? and the same question about the tempreture?? and what the overclocking actually do ?? Why did not lg overclock thier phones ??

Thanks :)

[LG Optimus 3D] stefankorun:
That is strange because the Exynos 4412 SoC used in the s3/note2 actually supports dual channel DDR2/DDR3 ram with up to 400Mhz clock rate
[LG Optimus 3D] fuzedbyhtc:
Agreed after further investigation I realized that the s3/note2 do utilize ddr2 ram...however repetitively running the ram benchmark the lg optimus 3d at minimum doubles the data throughput. ....strange...very strange...

I'm using the MerrukTechnology Kernel 2.0 PRE-FINAL (2.6.35.7 MerrukTechnology-2.0@By-Maroc-OS), Android Version: 2.3.6, Base Version: S5360BUTLC1, ext4 partitions, tried Darktremor app2sd, custom made (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=832799), and etc.

Nothing works right, i used this custom on my G5 and works Just fine.

But on SGY not works well, sometimes works, sometimes not, sometime works and on next reboot stop, even can mount ok but apps not works.

Sometimes works perfect, but when i restore my Titanium backups, on next restart stop working.

This is the Script i'm trying:

/system/etc/init.d/02app2sd:

#!/system/bin/sh
LOG=/data/app2sd.log
echo "$(date) mounting..." > $LOG

you can try repencis. it has a2sd support but you'll need to change your partition into ext2.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] nexbr:
I tried the DarkTremor too, but stops working too.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
you can replace the theme with stock one. the one you need is the a2sd script in /system/bin and /system/xbin. everything else could be replaced with stock rom.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] nexbr:
Not works anyway, even i tried the ChobitsDigitalis and i wipe, flash and when reboot it show the stock room not the custom rom :confused:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] savie:
Try terma kernel but make sure a2sd script install 1st b4 the kernel.

Actually u can custmz ur stok kernel so can run a2sd.

I have bought an htc one x from vodafone, i shaw only oficial free HTC ONE X can be unlocked and they loose the warranty...

I think i made the wrong choice now because, i cant S-OFF my HTC ONE X from vodafone, and withouth S-OFF i can root it right?

So what i can do? just use this phone unrooted like an iphone? cmon!

Someone can help me a bit, i really dont know what to do, this is so disapointing.

[HTC One X] RossMacgill:
well you asked a few questions really,

1 "and withouth S-OFF i can root it right?" which is not true, as that posts shows you, but yes you loose your warranty

2. why bother making this post if you already know about the root and loose warranty, there is a number of posts about wanting s-off so no point in making another really

but the main point of your post is that you cant root your HOX but you can via HTCDev or just wait like the rest of us and moan at HTC about it :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] kevin_23:
For only wanted to comment if you think about it if you are from me with that acuerdon windows phone 7 is not remarkable differences between phone models and high-end midrange, such as if about android.

For example, Android midrange we have the desire and s with 1 gigahertz adreno gpu high end 205 and have a htc one x with 4 cores and the best chipset for mobile nexiste, but in windows we have in mid-range phone for example Lumia nokia 710, htc radar and both with 1.4 and 1 gigahertz processor, and adreno 205, and we have the high end nokia Lumia 800 gigahertz processor with 1.4 and adrenos 205, the same as in midrange, only varies the camera Photo and materials.

you think?

[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
All the same CPU, so yes you are correct.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sitizenx:
Mmm... No. Lumia 900 has a bigger screen than the Lumia 800 and the Lumia 900 has LTE.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fatclue:
Judging from the broken English, I think he's referring to MS's minimum specs that all WP7 phones are basically the same. Yes, the 900 has a bigger screen than the 800, etc. The Titan II has a larger screen than say, an LG Quantum but the res is still 480 x 800. The 900 has LTE, but if you're in an area where there's no LTE it's a useless feature and you're on 3G the same as a DVP. Unless he re-posts and clarifies, I think this is what he means.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sitizenx:
That was a long winded way of asking if the minimum spec requirement is universal.

That's like saying the speed limit on the streets in my small town is 40 mph so it doesn't matter when we are comparing specs between my Honda and a Lamborghini.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dawsndev:
If this rom is suppose to have entropy's kernel in it is it the newest one? I cannot send long text messages being capped at 160 characters. Is there a fix for this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Im pretty sure kernel has no effect on character limits...that's usually modem-check your modem version under settings if you don't have uclb3 flash uclb3 modem on it...should fix your character limit
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jpcdeux:
I have no limit.

"Search is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience." ~ Yeah, what's new

Well I was surprised but didn't want to risk flashing his kernel just in case. But I can't send long texts so I dunno
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dawsndev:
Oh lol well yeah feel stupid now I couldn't remember if it was modem or kernel. But every time I flash something different in this if keeps looping me back to cwm instead of rebooting.

Yep that was it on uckl2 yep I'm on a dumb roll thanks for the info
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BigAtrain:
When the new version of this rom gets released, is there an easy way to get all of my settings and apps back without having to reinstall everything through titanium backup? Each time I flash a new rom, it takes forever to go through and set my homescreen and apps.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sledgeharvy:
As far as I know, every time you flash a new ROM, you have to do a complete wipe so it doesn't cause any redundancy issues and slow your phone down, or FC's, Random reboots, etc etc.. However, if you're just installing a newer version of this, you might be able to get away with just wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache and not doing the "Factory Reset/Reset All User Data" which means you get to keep all your apps and setting with out causing any problems, similar to as if you were just flashing a theme, kernel, or modem. So as the user "Experiment" always says, Experiment.. lol.. I know I do, I like to see what can I do and get away with or tweaks I can do with out having to flood the forums with questions I can answer myself by just wasting a little of my own time.. lol.. :)

I though it was hardware related as even if I turn it off, remove the battery, when I just put it in the soft buttons glow but as I didn't notice how it was before the first flash I can't tell for sure but after reading this I still have a hope.

I am having this problem with my Defy. Currently I have CyanogenMod v9-20121116-Nightly-jordan and I am still suffering the problem although I have tried several flashs. Could you please explain how did you solve it?

PowerAmp is my main music widget..

But I also really like the music control buttons/toggles in the "power toggles" app.

You can use them side by side, like this~

Or individually.

What Im really needing right now is some kind of music "buttons" that can be placed individually,

Like play/pause button in one place, forward button and reverse button in another place.

Power toggles almost works for what i need, but not quite.

There's also a widget called "media buttons" but you cant change the icons. :/

Anyone know of any other apps/widgets like this that provide single buttons?
