U
Thinking about Cain 8 whaddya guys reckon
My nexus 7 2012 got cracked today so suggest me a tab max 10k
K
U
Have you used it
fonepad is good but has old OS
U
I guess I am gonna hold off till mi pad or nexus 9 is there anyway to fix the broken screen + digitizer
K
yeah it was on display in a shop
plastic quality etc is very poor
- - - Updated - - -
yeah thats a better option
U
Oh thanks do you have any idea how much it will cost me to fix the cracked display
K
if you get it done locally i think approx - 9k
if you are adventurous and do it yourself i think it can be anywhere between 3-7k depending on parts needed
i just checked ebay and the prices are very varied- some as low as 3k and some as high as 15k but the 15k image and description matches that of other listings of 5-7k
maybe someone with more experience in this can answer for sure
i have a similiar situation myself with my laptops failing display and i have decided to wait for it to die completely then ill take the risk and replace the display myself instead of paying a bomb
i suggest you have a look at youtube videos on how to replace the screen
U
Yikes that's a pretty penny let's see
Lol.. broken screen costs 9k?!!?
That's the amound I paid to get Nexus 7 2012.
If it takes so much amount to fix the display, its just not worth it.

yeah basically its an inflated rate by local shopkeepers
its much cheaper to do a DIY repair-3-5k imho

yeah
if you are to go ahead with a new tablet instead then have a look at Nokia N1
very promising specs for the price and excellent hardware
as for ROM support,it runs stock android 5.0 by default and going by the no of roms for Nokia X etc,im expecting excellent rom support in future

GOOD NEWS!!! GOT THE SCREEN REPLACED FOR 3.6K FROM RITCHIE STREET oddly enough this screen feels more responsive than my old nexus 7
Congrats!
More details please. So that other who might need to replace can refer too.
K
U
Thanks but there are few issues though , my old tablet used to sleep when I close the flip cover after the screen change it doesn't also there is slight blue tint on the screen+ back light bleeds on the edge
Automatic screen lock is based on a magnet sensor placed just below the screen.. I dont know if it comes attached to the screen or not but its a possibility the guys that repaired it might have taken it out...
You might want to do a little looking around the internet, maybe it comes attached to the screen itself or the new screen is imcompatible with the sensor.. IDK

Oh OK anyhow screw it the tab has been returned to its normalcy so I ain't gonna poke more
K
maybe the display wasnt original or fully compatible or wasnt fully installed
either way,if it works its fine i guess

Bloody hell just saw a dead pixel on the corner of the screen it is only visible on a black ground 
what a waste of 3.6k
what a waste of 3.6k
Did you go to the service center and ask how much cost it would take to replace the N7 screen ?
U
No i didn't bother but I am pretty sure it will be more than 5k
Bro, atleast ask the service center via phone before reaching a conclusion, even if it is not worth spending 5k in the end.. Not only does that help you decide but you posting it here could have helped out other forum members also
Anyway from what i see, The total cost of a N7 tablet was around 10k before it went AWOL, repairing the screen should have cost atmost half of the cost i.e. ~5k IMO maybe even less
