I'm planning on fixing my g1 myself since my screen is cracked, but the issue here is the touch functions still work as they always did, its just that the screen is cracked.
are there two seperate pieces? Like the actual touch screen and the LENS?
yea it's called a digitizer (on the top) and a lcd (under the digitizer).
Which 1 is the part that cracked?
Reason i ask is because i saw someone selling a water damaged g1 and if its just the lense itself that can be replaced ill do that

So today my phone dropped on the ground flat on the ground from about hip height and after picking it up i noticed i now have a cracked screen from the top.
I'm wondering how much the plastic front lens will run about. I see some prices online for about 100-180$ and it seems like every1 is pointing to the g1 digitizer?
The touch screen features work properly with no problems at all. I'm wondering, is that whats really needed? Or is there just the plastic lens somewhere?
Don't really feel like spending around 130 bucks for accidental damage. Might awell wait for a different phone to come out .
I know you can order just the glass but I have never needed to repair the glass or LCD on a G1 or MT3G. From just looking at mine I assume you can seperate the digitizer from the LCD.

the G1 digitizer is not a "plastic lens" it's the touchscreen, which sits on top of the LCD screen. I bought a replacement digitizer for relatively cheap on Ebay. If you are going to fix it be extremely careful. I managed to break the flex cable of my LCD screen fixing the digitizer....
my Arc fell yesterday and its got this strange big crack.
basically the screen works just like before the scratch, and you can barely see the crack itself if you look at the screen frontally, it only becomes apparent once you start tilting the phone from an extreme angle
the crack itself is pretty big, starting from the bottom right corner of the "space" button to the bottom left corner of the "Q" button in the stock keyboard app (portrait mode).
what i like to know is how is the Arc screen constructed? Mineral glass on top + LCD screen + Digitizer? or is the mineral glass and lcd screen glued together?
if it is the first is it possible to just peel of the mineral glass and glue another one? or do i have to buy a new screen all together?
thanks for you support.
not sure if it's true but I've read that the digitizer and the screen are vacuum sealed, and that once separated, result simply in a colourless touch sensitive black screen - I actually have similar hairline fractures beneath the surface of my arc's LCD so I ordered a pre-fitted screen/digitizer from ebay which is already encased within a front housing - I've paid a repair company to fit it as a precaution, although the youtube teardown looked relatively straightforward, especially if you don't need to extract the screen from the front chassis as you've got a substitute ready to go - should have mine back by the end of the week, but it will cost me eighty pounds for both parts and labour - if you're confident doing the work yourself it should cost you just over half of that ......
Dropped my Nexus 4 on concrete and now it has a pretty minor crack, but for whatever reason a lot of the screen doesn't work anymore, even though the crack doesn't take up that much of the screen? Should I send it in for repair or should I just get the Nexus 5 or some other phone? I'm honestly okay with the screen being cracked if I could somehow fix the digitizer so it could still detect when I touch the screen? Is that also a possibility, and how much would that cost?
You should replace the whole screen...its very hard to separate the digitizer from glass and from the lcd.
You can find a original screen assembly [with front housing] here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Touch-F...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item232abea64c
Folks
cracked the screen and my question is, what do i need to buy?
looking on ebay and the have Touch Screen Digitizer Glass Lens and then there is the more expensive Screen Assembly.
the screen is unresponsive but the lcd isn't cracked, would i get away with just replacing the touch screen and digitiizer or do i need the screen assembly?
Many thanks for your replies
Paul
Unless you have the skills and tools for separating the glass digitizer from the LCD, you're better off just getting the front assembly that has been pulled from another N4 like this one and fixing your phone in a few minutes (if you already know how to open the N4, which is really easy to do.)
Hello.. I had dropped my N4 and the front glass got cracked.. The LCD is fine but touch is not responsive with half of the screen. I'm planning to change just the digitizer. Since the LCD and the digitizer are fused together, we use heat to separate the digitizer from the LCD. But how to paste the replaced digitizer back to the LCD?? Should i use some adhesive tape?? or this ??
Please advise
Thanks
I think you need to use LOCA.
