Xperia Z3 Screen Cracked by Itself

My screen cracked by itself yesterday after listening to music for about 2 hours. I was wondering whether this is a common problem with the Xperia Z3 and whether i'm applicable for a free replacement or repair?
My phone is only 4 months old and it has never been dropped or damaged. This was a completely random occurrence.

My iPad2 screen cracked by itself

This is a joke... My iPad screen just started cracking next to the push button. Has anyone experience this???

Bunk. If it was quite common that iPad screens crack all by themselves, there would threads a mile long on this and there simply aren't.
To the OP: You can take your iPad to the Apple Store, but they are likely going to only offer you an out of warranty replacement option (replacing the iPad for about 50% of the purchase price) as accidental damage is not covered under warranty. And there's no way to prove you didn't accidentaly drop your iPad.

Xperia Z Screen Cracked & Touch not working..

Hii.. This is regarding my xperia z phone. I purchased in april 2013, got a replacement Phone in NOV 2013 and now I had my fone in good condition.. I got my scratchguard changed n got a bubble in between.. I pressed vertically so that the bubble may disappear but it cracked my device from the top.. The top part of the cracked screen has lost its touch.. I went to the Service centre talked to the manager And he said that It cannot be replaced as it is out of purchase date.. he told me a figure around 15k to replace the fone.. M using the fone by rotating n all.. I didnt xpect sony xperia Z to b so so so weak.. Its really heartbreaking that i lost my fone while adjusting d screenguard bubble,, I need SoNy to read my post so that they could provide a better option for me.. 15k is half d price of the fone n i think i deserve a replacement again.. This fone cracked so lightly n lost its touch.. I read that this fone was strong but I think d replacement gave me an already damaged Sony xperia Z.. Its just 5 months n this happens. . NEED YOUR ATTENTION SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With due respect i am reporting this issue to mark your attention regarding the virtual damage developed at its own in my xperia z I have purchased the Xperia Z on 2nd Feb 2014During the use of 2 months i got some hanging issue in my phone and i was advised to replace it by sony service center at Faridabad. Howsoever i simply left it there for replacement.After a week i got a phone which was said to be new. At the time of picking it i saw a slight line over the top of screen. That line was hardly visible if you will tilt the phone then you will see it otherwise you will never recognize it.But the executive said that it is not a problem you can use it, if you will face any problem we will further replace it(Because xperia z series can't be open so the replacement was the only option) There after i got a kitkat update and i have upgraded it at my office via wifi.After ward i got a sever problem of heating during calling and regular use.On enquiry from service centre they said it is not a problem it is happening due to some unstable version of google service and advised to uninstall the google service till the next update comes. I have un-stalled and reinstalled it later but no relief regarding the heating problem.One side i was concious about the heating problem and suddenly my phone starts unresponsive many times. Slowly and gradually the slight mark on screen at top stretched to top to bottom and i was helpless because i was in my village where there was no such service centres available. This time my friend advised to approach service center.and i went there to diagnose all these issues. But people at service centre didn't take it under warranty and said its a physical damage. My question is how it got physically damaged, even there is no clue of broken edges and scratches on screen or around.After my read on google i got my answer that it was not abused by me but some units might have such defects and on sever heating it can be stretched to whole screenfind the reference urlshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/xperia-z-zr-ul-z-ultra-display-issue-1-t2515293/http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-ZL-ZR/Xperia-z-glass-back-cracked-on-it-s-own/td-p/321733/page/44 current status is under warrantyat technocare solutions pvt ltd service centre at lajpat nagar Delhiissue : touch damage (not considered under warranty)ticket id: 14112202378job no: W114112202378Date : 22 Nov 2014 Please issue a new unit under the warranty condition instead of paid repairing .Other wise i have to appeal consumer court/consumer forums for same.

My Iphone 4s screen cracked by itself!!!

Hello there,
I went to a dinner tonight and my Iphone was in my bag. I took it out and took some pictures it was absolutely fine. I put the phone back in bag and after coming home I took it out and the screen was all cracked!!! I couldnt believe on my eyes. Without any reason how the screen can be like this!! I didnt drop it anywhere and there was nothing in my bag that can hit it. Also my phone was in a cover and a shield on the screen. Its really really weird.
I'm so much disappointing after buying so much expensive product and getting this result. I still can't understand what happened to the screen.
Anyone any idea or comments?

it would be best to take it to an apple store because they could examine it and possibly determine the cause of the crack

Xperia z1 screen broken

My Xperia z1 screen cracked while in my pocket..Will this be covered under the warranty? Also how do I remove the pattern lock to back up my data and stuff on the PC as i have no touch feedback in that area.
Also if not covered under the warranty how much will it cost to replace the screen? just a ball park figure would do.
Thanks

Screen cracked by it self.

My screen cracked by itself, when i was carring it in my bag.
Is there any more screens that have cracked by it self?
My store said that it not covered by the warranty.

This is, of course, after the fact, there are other extended warranties besides Apple's that one can purchase and if purchased when product is new you have the "option" - not automatically included - of purchasing an "accidental" rider for the policy which covers cracked screens, drops, spills, etc. These policies are often cheaper than extended offered by manufacturer's. Squaretrade.com is one. LCD's on small electronics and cameras are notorious for this problem. Does not require abuse. It does happen "spontaneously". To my knowledge it is not usually covered by the manufacturer.

Screen cracked. Digitizer broken. Need IMEI number.

My Xperia Z1 screen cracked without being dropped or struck, it actually seems like the crack is on the inside of the glass as I cannot feel it on the front of my phone. This crack must have damaged the touch screen digitizer as only the bottom of my phone can be used, this means I can't even find the IMEI number of my device as I need to use the keypad.
Please help me, any suggestions on what to do would be helpful

Hi HarveyM96,

You can find the IMEI on the Box as well as the Proof of purchase. You can also open the SIM card slow and pull a tray out that has the IMEI number on it.
Let me know how you get on.

Screen Cracked and replaced, now phone wont stay on, and now i cant get it to turn back on

about 3 days ago i dropped my phone and the screen cracked. Although it was cracked it still worked fine with no issues and the new ios6 was installed prior to it breaking. I brought it to a iphone repair store where they fixed the screen. After a day i noticed the phone just turned itself off so i put it on the charger and returned and it was working. ever since then it has now shut off randomly for no reason, battery was either fully charged or more than 50%. I hooked it up to my computer to restore it today and it seemed to work for about 3 or 4 hours until it started to turn off on its own. i would restart it and it would work for a shorter and shorter period of time until now it wont stay on at all. i plugged it into the charger and it goes through the apple powerup screen and when it turns on it says searching for network in the top left corner. when i press apps and such it is very laggy and it eventually freezes and the screen fades to black and the cell phone turns off. I cannot get it to stay on now, even when it stays plugged into the charger...HELP PLEASE!!! is this an apple issue or something the repair shop may be responisble for?????

The reapair shop is probably responsible. And now that you took it to a third party and not to apple store, Apple will not touch your phone at all. So you will probaly have to buy a new one or go back to the reapir shop and hope they can fix it.

IPod Nano LCD screen cracking/scratching

i am a possible, going to be nano buyer and i was wondering if anyone who is a owner has had problems with the screen cracking and/or scratching. Also this is a question for owners with the problem and APPLE if the screen gets cracked or overally scratched withing warranty will apple replace it with a new one? also for people in singapore is there anywhere that i can get a 4GB nano, as most places have said they dont have them. thank you
Windows XP

The screen scratching issue is really going to depend on just how badly you treat the device. I don't know how the screens are getting so badly scratched, and in normal use I can't see anything other than normal wear and tear. My 3G iPod is the same - a few scuffs and scratches, but nothing to stop it working.
If on the other hand you place the nano into your pocket without a protective case, keep change and car keys in the same pocket, then yes, it WILL get scratched. If you drop it or drag it over rough surfaces, if you take a sharp implement to it, if you use abrasive cleaners on it... and probably loads of other 'ifs', you'll get scratches on it.
They are not indestructible and the LCD screen is not harder than diamond. Take care of your Nano and you should be fine.
Taking it back with scratches through normal wear and tear, or through poor care, will not get you a replacement. You would have to show that it was an actual fault with the Nano itself, and I get the distinct feeling most are fine
As for purchasing a 4GB model, have you tried the online Apple store?

Macbook screen cracked. How to transfer files from old hard drive to new computer?

I had a 13" white macbook, but the screen cracked, and the computer wouldn't work anymore. I took it to be fixed, but they weren't able to fix it, so they gave me a macbook pro. I asked them to try and transfer the files from my old macbook to the old one, but they said that they couldn't, and gave my the hard drive and said I could have someone else try to fix it for me. How do I connect the old hard drive to my new macbook to see if I can get the files off of it? I don't have the old computer anymore, just the hard drive itself. Thanks!

Sorry, I don't understand all of this stuff. Do I have to buy a certain one for Mac? Or will any enclosure work? Would this one do what I need? http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/startech-startech-external-hard-drive-enclos ure-with-integrated-usb-cable-sat2510scb-sat2510scb/10192449.aspx?path=9e9804b6f 287edbfe4f83d36c2a6aa71en02

Weird screen doing stuff itself

iPad 2 from october '11
First few months were fine other than magnet in screen cover thing messing with orientation when I turned the screen. Took it off and I was happy. It works now.
But the new issue Is that the extreme right part of my screen sometimes pushes itself and repeats my touches which is very annoying when typing or with ANYTHING on that side because if the URL is there with the screen turned, it might decide to push the back button or try to change the web page or type itself. Same problm with that side with any direction as top of page. Extends about an inch from the right. This is perhaps best demonstrated wheninnnna tappinnnnng game the side lights up at random points. With two fingers then things really get crazy and the whole screen increases and decreases like if i were zooming and shakes around and presses on links. Writing this message itself so far is taking me about an hour, and not because I can't type! Sorry for weird sounding. Writing,,, tryinnnnng tonnnnn
shortennnn it....
Is this repairable? I don't mind going to my local store and getting my iPad fixed, but how long would it take? Would it cost anything? Do i need a new one? Is it covered under warranty? The iPad itself is practically perfect anyway and really doesn't have any thing like scratches , dents, or cracks. I'm happy with it, but this unwanted feature is really becoming a problem when I attempt to use it.
A weird thing is it only happens sometimes, maybe every other hour of use. started maybe december, never was wet, suffered a big drop, or had anything unusual.
What do i do?? Thanks
Further questions welcome.

your warranty is good through Oct 2012, so I'd make an appointment at the genius bar and see if they can get it to replicate the issue. There may be something wrong and perhaps they can fix it or replace it, but I'd get it documented what it's doing.
Another thing you can try, if you're not sure you can replicate it in the store, videotape you using your iPad and see if you can get the malfunction on video. Might help them diagnose it.

S10-3 screen crack for no reason

Hi,
i bought my netbook S10-3 about 5 months ago.
Since then, I've been taking a very good care of my netbook.
But today when i opened it, there was a crack acroos the screen.
It was fine until yesterday on my desk, and I never dropped it nor stepped on it.
I just put it in my backpack to go to school and took out from the case, and there was a crack.
I am 100% sure there was no mechanical impact or damage to my netbook or even to my backpack.
so i called Lenovo, and they say "LCD crack" cannot be covered under warranty,
and I need to pay "$280" to replace the screen.
I don't know how this happened. Yeah. of course the screen cannot crack by itself, but still i don't understand.
Is there any way that this problem can be solved under warranty? or at least in a less expensive way?
I am a poor college student, and there is no way i can afford $280 right now.
Thank you

@nsj318,
