HTC One M8

[Anonymous]

Help :  my 10 wks old M8 has cracked screen & o2 spectacularly unhelpful.   Believe almost impossible to replace screen myself - anyone else had this experience pls ?      I note that in US this phone comes with 6 months warranty on the screen as it`s so expensive to replace.

Unfortunately the only way you'd get warranty to cover this is if you can prove that it is a manufacturing defect or design flaw.
Otherwise, you need to claim of any insurance (house, bank, specific phone insurance) or pay for the repair yourself.

How did the cracked screen happen ?

Was it accidental or did the crack appear ?

Of the latter them argue that case.

See if the manufacturer uk support centre can help you.

If the phone still works and the crack isn't too deep perhaps affix a screen shield which can sometimes help hide the crack.

Let us know how you get on.

Not good news as said how did it happen

[anticpated]

Consumers have been held to ramsom with touchscreen phones for a while now because they are thinner, more liable to be damaged they have high-resistance glass fitted. Then people accidently damage their screens or due to badly fitted handsets, they develop stress fractures. 

A lot is to do with manufacturers and not Corning Industries; so far this hasn't happened to me. Even after all the damage my Galaxy S2 suffered I had no damage to the screen. Also I think the insurance for the mobile telephones now are pretty useless and impracticable.
