[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
So I dropped my iconia today. On tile. On its corner.

The glass cracked. It still works just fine, in fact, the glass covering the screen is still fine, its just bezel-glass that broke.

While I CAN live with it like this, I would really rather not. Its right where my thumb normally rests, and its really sharp. Plus its damn embarrassing.

I want a new phone and I need a new laptop for college this fall, I don't have the money (or really, the desire - its my best-performing device) to replace my tab.

So, is there any way I could get Acer to fix this?

I'm sure I'm out of warranty, its a refurbished sale item from best buy online, purchased around Thanksgiving.

How would I figuure out if I have any warranty left?

Barring that, could I pay Acer to repair my tab or do some sort of replacement?

If that's no, is there any way I could replace the glass myself?

Picture of the damage attached.

[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
I saw a few on Ebay, but the one that I would get is probably this one... I like it best because it is a full assembly, and it is already here in the U.S. $122 shipped. Add warranty for another 12 bucks.

Anytime I replace anything like this I will pay a little more to get an easier install. You can get others for $89 bucks and up. They are in China and the wait may be quite long. And they don't have as much pre-assembled for you.

Teardown video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttuzw9qso8s

If you send it in to Acer and they determine that the warranty is out I think that they will charge you something like $200. If you registered at Acer you can login and see the status. If you didn't, I am not sure what you will have to do.

Also. If you paid with a credit card, you can see if the warranty was extended by the cardholder.

Good luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
Thanks for the response....

I don't remember if I ever made an Acer account or not... I'll check later. (I ROM'd my tab within a week of getting it =P)

and I was kinda expecting a response like that: it would cost almost as much to have it serviced as i paid for it in the first place ($250)

I'll check out the video when I get home, how complicated would you say it would be to install the replacement part?
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
While it is detailed and there are quite a few steps. I'd think that most folks with an extra hour and a half or so could do this with the right video. The one that I linked to isn't in english, and I am sure that there are way better ones. I think that video was taken in an Acer site somewhere and I thought it was interesting. Look for others, there are many. Now from what I've read the cable for the volume rocker is VERY fragile! Be sure the be extra careful with all of those, but especially that one, ok? If you think that you can deal with that and don't mind playing with tiny stuff, go for it. If you have some tweezers, those are handy. Hemostats are even better. And if you don't have a pry tool, try a guitar pick, credit card or license. Heck, a plastic knife is better than going at it with metal. Just something stiff and plastic so you don't scuff anything. Good luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
Thanks. I could probably swing it myself but I'm always hesitant to get my hands into something like this.

Usually enjoy it once I do though :P

I'm gonna try to live with it for a while, as even a hundred bucks would be a real strain on my bank account right now......

But ill bookmark this page for later. Thanks so much. ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] ryzilla23:
After much deliberation, the size of the Inc4g won me over. After getting out of the store and using it for a couple days, I love this phone.

The idiot at best buy basically told me I was stupid for choosing the inc4g over the gs3, but what the hell do those guys know?

Interestingly though, I kept my unlimited data. I had upgraded to a rezound off of vzw before unlimited expired, but then returned it due to the heat, battery life and thickness. After returning it, I had to jump through hoops to get them to roll my upgrade back on the account and then went to best buy and got the inc4g. I assumed I was going to lose unlimited, but happy to see i didn't!

99$ for this phone plus keeping unlimited = very very happy!

also glad to see these forums and devs much much more friendly and mature than the rezound forums.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] miguel11691:
A lot more mature... But remember our phone just came out.. wait a little while and we will get the immaturity other threads have
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] elvee68:
I too choose the Dinc4g over the SGS3. I played with both and well the Dinc felt better in my hand. The only thing that really bothers me is the cramped keyboard in portrait. What I like though is the native keyboard has a slide feature.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] pumah350:
Wow good for you! Yep, you did good...as you will see from our screen shots, the Inc4 has Incredible battery life for the power it delivers. Its not getting much love only because it doesn't have a huge, HD screen.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
it's funny, I guess this is happening a lot. The people at the store selling the phone need to call customer service (or this is what I was told anyway) to confirm the new contract, as since I was upgrading using my 2 year upgrade I lost my unlimited plan, but this was fine since we ended up saving over $79 a month on our new plan.

about a week after I bought the phone I call CS about a prob I'm having and before we get to talking about my phone issue I was telling her about how much we saved on the new plan, etc blah blah, and she goes, well.. your still on unlimited plan and paying $.. a month, I can see where the guy tried to change your account but failed like a pro.

good thing I called, they ended up having to charge us full for this month, and then rebate us back the money on the next month once the new plan goes into effect.

man would i have been even more pissed when the bill came and here I'm paying the same I was before thinking I'm saving $80 and no unlimited plan.

I love this phone though!

def worth the upgrade!

I did some searching and always come up confused... is the Verizon and GSM glass the same? I dropped my phone this morning and the glass broke...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidModder:
If you made a Nandroid Backup in CWM, you can restore that backup. Ex. If you made it before rooting you can restore to the stock un-rooted rom or restore and then un-root on manually. Question answered?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syrellaris:
Hello,

Right to start my story.

I updated my phone through KIES up to the latest firmware.

Baseband - XXLPW

kernel : XWLPD

Android : 4.0.3

Worked fine. Figured I wanted root back. Flashed CF-root XX-NEE-LPD v.5.5 Kernel onto it from chainfires topic. Everything seemed to work fine except mobile internet. Wifi works fine, but it wont for the love of it, connect to mobile internet. The icon is just not there and everything says its not connected when Wifi is turned off.

So i flashed the Stock Kernel back to it from the Stock kernel / firmware thread.

At this point it still won't connect to Mobile Internet. However Wifi works fine. Which is great and all, but I really would like to use the internet in non wifi able areas. Like work.

So I flashed the complete XEN Stock package (mine is unbranded) for the netherlands. and Still no Mobile internet.

I added the access points for Rabo Mobiel each time with every setting from there website. But it wont connect. Data transfer mode is turned on so that is not the issue.

What could be causing this issue? and How do I fix it?

Syr.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxrb:
Try flashing just the modem again or flash another modem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syrellaris:
I think I have isolated the issue. I went and took a gamble and flashed an old official Gingerbread Firmware I still had stored away on the pc.

When I went back in to add my phone providers internet settings etc, it had 3 options and connection type. Internet, Internet+MMS and just MMS. I noticed my ICS earlier did not have those options and just had a blank space where one could type.

So No I am going to upgrade back to ICS using Kies Once again, if it is still a blank space one can fill in that clearly its an issue with the XEN Samsung ICS firmware. In that case ill just mod CM9 on it and see if I can get it to work in that. If not...back to gingerbread I go :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syrellaris:
Well I found out how to fix it -.-

Appearently with ICS comes a new APN setting in which the type of accespoint is no longer Just Internet, MMS or a Internet + MMS.

To get it to connect to the internet one has to type in default instead.

Oh well. This can be locked.

He studied the G1's HBoot and discovered the it can be modded along with the system and recovery. This gave life to the Rom Development community. Although JesusFreke has retired one can't help but respect this developer. For he is the reason we can have fun with android to this day!

This is the guys resume and he is still a player.....just had to voice what I know. not trying to be defeatest, but to say google invented it, is not technically true, there were guys slaving away way before google got their hands on it.

No it's say 2007. I'm sure Android sparked long b4 that but unless their is proof of that to be true I can't post it.
[HTC One X] Deleted member 3252403:
By began do you mean the release date or something like that?

Because if you mean the actual "birth date" then it is at least a few years before 2007. It takes a long time to build an OS ;)

I got my first nexus 7 on Tuesday, but there was something stuck under the screen. So I ordered a new one and it got here today. The first thing I noticed is that the screen color on each screen were different. My old one had pure whites, like it should, now my new one has a weird tint to it, making the whites look crappy and un-natural. Has anyone else noticed it? And does anyone know if it is possible to change the screen color?
[Nexus 7 General] _jis_:
I don't have Nexus 7 yet, but I have the same experience with my Samsung Galaxy W. I am very satisfied with my SGW display, it has pure whites without any tint. I must say that it is my best LCD on mobile device so far. But I was shocked when I saw another SGW of my colleague. His display has very yellowish tint and both displays side to side look like they are from different phones. What is strange, for him both looks like the same, so he is happy with his display as I am with mine.

I don't think so. If you aren't satisfied with it, change it again, because primarily the display quality makes the Tablet just ordinary or exceptional or lemon.
