Nokia 920 heavily cracked screen after short drop ...

Well, it happened. My brand new Lumia 920 took a three foot drop out of my coat pocket onto the pavement below while I was getting out of my car. The result was a heavily damaged screen. 
Cracks now cover over half of the screen, and small, tiny (and sharp!) pieces of glass are slowly falling out. Phone performance is also spotty, as it now randomly turns off and the OS regularly freezes.
I was VERY surprised to see that there was any damage at all, considering this is Gorilla Glass 2.0. I've seen the videos - the drop tests, using the phone to hammer in a nail, etc. I couldn't believe that a BARELY 3 foot drop did this to the screen.
Anyways, I'm pretty bummed about my brand new toy. Anybody know what options I have =-/ ...? I got it through AT&T.
Attached is a photo of the damage =-(.

OUCH!!!
What a first post.
it must have hit just perfectly to do that! that is really a bummer in deed. Not sure why do easy.
I had my n9 fly off the treadmill at 8.5mph, fling back about 12 feet and SLAM into another unit and though the screen cracked, it was nothing like that and still worked perfectly.
being it is so new, I don't think there are even glass replacements available yet.
did you get insurance?
if not, you could get it through something like squaretrade, and they will repair or replace your unit...

  • Cracked screen after 1 hour

    so today i got the z3 and the phone had cracked out of nowher no drops or impact. now screen is no longer respondingt o my fingers is there any chance anyone can tell me what to do or know the exact price for a repair. thx xxxxxxxx
    Solved!

    Dear Sony Support and Xperia forum visitors
    I'm sure some of you have had similar experiences.
    I bought a Sony Xperia Z3, a day later after minor use the phone fell off a coffee table ~35cm high on to a carpet and had a single hair line fracture down the screen, barely visible.  Seemingly not a big deal, though actually made the phone completely unserviceable, not responding to touch.
    I contacted both Sony and the Fonebiz repair company, after about 3 weeks of emails back and fourth requesting it be repaired / replaced under warranty, they refused and deemed a fault of my own.  I reluctantly paid $260 to have it repaired and returned to me another 10 days later.  I noticed the speakers had about 20% reduced max volume, almost inaudible.  I am a Sony fanboy, have Sony cameras, lenses, ps4, phones, speakers, etc.  So pretty frustrated at the whole customer service experience there.  
    I've had it another three weeks and since gotten a TPU protector case surrounding all edges and back as well as a gorilla glass screen protector.  I had it resting on my slouched knee at the park and it dropped about 35cm again onto the ground and cracked, though more pronounced this time and again showing the same symptoms of a useless phone.  It had a protector on it as well, how does this actually happen?  Whats this thing made out of balsa wood and fine china?
    Where does Sony step in and consider some form of product manufacturing standards whereby a device can handle minimal wear and tear.  It's hardly a drop from 7', we are talking about a 35cm drop on to CARPET?! What a mediocre and flimsy design.  I have 2 beaten up Apple phones that are cracked beyond all recognition, guess what, the device still works flawlessly.  This seems to me like a responsibility avoiding cash-cow, from thousands of dropped phones and developing a hairline fracture.   What is the point of a warranty, repair and replacement when as soon as something is broken Sony will not honour this policy. 
    Lastly, I had a Z original, had the same occurrence like a lot of you guys posting on here and had it legitimately break in my pocket through no abuse or misuse.  Sony refused to honour the replacement and warranty, when after 5 emails back and fourth having to threaten an ACCC enquiry they repaired the phone.  Come on now Sony, lift your game, customer service is paramount, what is a minimal 200repair to your company when you can have a customer for a lifeteam.
    I felt like I should share to inform those considering this as an actual phone to purchase.  Unless the thing is kept in an underground bomb shelter, it will get broken.  Perhaps I got a legitimate manufacturing fault, though Sony will not recognise this.
    Have a good one.

  • Iphone 5c green screen after a drop

    My green (very ironic) iphone 5c's screen turned green a week after dropping it (screen was cracked)
    I can now no longer use the device and I am unsure on what to do now

    Visit an Apple Retail store & pay the out of warranty fee for a replacement device.  Or, call apple care and arrange for an out of warranty replacement.  The fee should be around $269.00 + taxes for a replacement device.

    I dropeed my iPhone and the screen is shattered, but the more annoying part is this brown cluster of something on the side of my screen. It was originally much smaller but throughout the day the brown part moved and is larger. If I get my screen replaced will this go away?
    Maybe.
    But it will need to be checked out.

  • Nokia 6500 slide cracked screen how to turn on Blu...

    Hey there,
    I have a nokia 6500 slide. I bought it quite a while ago and I have been using it as it was my favorite phone. Sadly about 3 days ago the screen cracked and its now black and flickering colors. I URGENTLY need to recover the data saved on the phone (not on the simcard nor the mini SD). so I have a notebook with Bluetooth connection but I need to turn on the Bluetooth on the phone somehow. Could someone please provide me with screenshots of the user interface? or guide me with numbers so I can turn on the Bluetooth? I need the messages and contacts saved on the phone!
    Thank you hell of a lot in advance!

    i forgot: connecting the cable is not an option. the connection for it on the phone broke the first day of use. i was too lazy to send it to repairs sadly.....

  • Repaired iPod cracked screen after two weeks of purchase...

    I repaired my iPod 5 two weeks ago for $168, but yesterday, I cracked the screen. If I go back, do I have to pay 168 again? And can I get Applecare + and if I do, will they repair it for $50? I don't wanna get in trouble with my parents cuz this is now my second breaking it and I don't want my parents paying it for me. And are there any cheap third party repair shops?

    You can't get AppleCare+
    Purchase AppleCare+ with your new iPod. Or buy it within 30 days of your iPod purchase:

    You said "I repaired my iPod 5 two weeks ago for $168"? Do you mean that Apple exchanged it for another one? If so then Apple will do it again for same price

  • Nokia 6030 Broken/Cracked Screen

    I have a Nokia 6030 with a defective screen, I have important contact numbers stored on the phone and want to transfer these to the SIM. Nokia want to charge me £50 for it so thats not an option. Can anyone provide/link me a step by step guide for doing so?Please. And no, I currently dont know anyone else with a 6030.
    Cheers

    try this
    go to menu
    open contact

    scroll to mark/unmark-.click on that-mark all
    you will see a tick against each contact
    again press options
    scroll to copy-click on that-to sim memory(directory)
    it will be done
    you can check whether it copied by again going to contact and pressing option and see if there is sim contact-sim directory (all the number in your sim)
    see if it helps you
    note one thing that mostly sim cant store many number..like my sim can support only 150 numbers in it memory

  • Help me my iPod is white screening after I dropped it on the floor what happened and how can I fix it?

    I was playing an app on my iPod and I got up to go to the restroom and I decide to put the iPod in my pocket then as I legit go I heard a clack on the ground and found my iPod on the floor there was no physical damage to the screen face, no scratches, chips, or cracks.
    I then try to wake up my iPod and it white screened but does not shutdown, just a constant white screen. I tried to hard reset it and it continued to white screen when it restarted. What happened to it?

    Only if it is a loose connection
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • Sony z3 mobile cracked screen

    I recently purchased a z3(early january) and its been a great phone.Last week I left it on my desk and went to sleep. When i woke up two cracks have appeared, one on the front side, rendering the top half of the screen unusable aswell as one running accross the back of the screen.I have sent it in to sony xperia, but theyve quoted £204 to repair as it was assessed as physical damage. Yet ive had a toughened case around it and its never left my sight, nor has it ever dropped.Does anyone have any information on what to do.Ive heard watchdog know about this issue but I dont know how to continue with this, its really sad as I am an avid fan of sony.

    There are many topics about screen cracks :

  • Does the warranty cover cracked screens?

    Does the warranty cover cracked screens? I dropped it by accident?

    SantannaF, just what are you saying?
    - The warranty that covmes with the iPod does not cover a broken screen.
    - When this post was written, there wan an extented warranty, AppleCare that yo could purchase the increased the waranry period from one year to two years. It still did not cover accidental damage like a broken screen.
    - Now, Apple offers for a price, AppleCare+. That covers replacment for a broken screen for a fee of $29
    extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPod and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $29 service fee plus applicable tax.1

  • Screen changes colors after macbook dropped

    Yesterday I accidentally dropped my laptop and when trying to recover, the screen changes from alternating full screen colors (red - green - blue and then black and white gradients). I'm guessing this has to do with the graphics but I am not sure if this has happened to anyone else and if there is some sort of reset button.?

    That symptom appearing after a drop surely indicates hardware damage so no reset, even if available, is going to help. You'll need to have an Apple Store or Authorized service provider evaluate it. Hopefull it is something small like a damaged display cable but, if the GPU was jarred from its solder joints by the impact (quite likely) the only real cure is a new logic board.
    If you have homeowners'/renters' insurance, put your carrier on notice of an accident. many such policies cover repair/replacement after an accident--even outside the home--subject to the usual deductible.

  • No power after changing a cracked screen

    I just replaced a cracked screen on my toshiba satellite laptop and after I put the battery back in a nd turned it on it started for a few seconds and then shut off and now nothing happens when I try to turn it on. Any ideas on what has possibly happened?

    Open it back up and check all of your connections, then try powering it up again after it is reassembled.  Make sure the battery and power cord are disconnected while you work on it.

  • Is there any help for a cracked iphone after dropping it?

    is there any help for a cracked iphone after dropping it?

    If you have the new AppleCare+ service, then yes:
    http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    Otherwise, maybe. Regular AppleCare, if you have it, can't help you. But you might still be able to get it repaired – of course, any repair will cost you. Apple will replace a damaged iPhone for a flat fee.
