My faithful EVO's glass separation issues have gotten really bad, it's actually sticking up so far it's getting hooked on stuff in my pocket! If I take it to a sprint repair center, will they replace the glass, or the LCD *and* the glass?
Thanks.

glass if thats the issue... for free also
Yea probably just the glass.
When I had mine replaced, the tech showed me a one-piece unit...glass, digitizer, LCD and bezel that they were replacing on my phone.
Yeah the whole front gets replaced. We have different screens for each hardware revision too, since the cabling is different.

Thanks for the replies everyone, but entropism, are you saying the LCD does or doesn't get replaced?

The dust won't get under the screen like with HTC devices since samsung fuses the glass to the screen and it comes as one unit.

Having suffered from the infamous dust issue with the Desire that's good to know.
actually...
dust does get under the screen, but not under the monitor part of the glass. i have little specs of dust filling the optical hole of the front facing camera. i'm gonna assume it got in there through the speaker. it really frustrates me and i may go and buy a dust blower to try to dislodge it. i've tried blowing in and all it does it fog up the lens. i dont use and dont plan to use the front facing camera, but it is pretty frustrating that there's dust in there.
I've cracked my N1 screen, it's the AMLOED one. What parts do i need to buy to replace it?
Just the screen? What about the digitizer?

Due to the special structure of AMOLED, you need to replace both the digitizer and the lcd screen because they are pressed together and can't be separated. If you are looking for it's screen, see my signature.

Not really, the adhesive used to keep the LCD and the digitiser comes off when heated by a hair dryer or something similar, there's a disassemble guide on the nexus one general thread that should help you.

Guide
Here is one of the guide's I used when I took mine apart to remove dust http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-One-Teardown/1654/1
It's not too tough to disassemble. I've done it a half-dozen times at this point and it probably takes less than 20 minutes.
Good luck.
I think I have some issues but since I have gotten my first Android Phone (G1)
Around the first month I put some pressure on the screen whether it is pressing on the screen as hard as I can. Or putting a 7 pound weight on it.
Wow you can't even see the lcd being pressed on as the glass is pretty tough.

The HTC G1 used plastic over its screen which is quite malleable compared to glass or even Gorilla glass for that matter...used on the S2 and S3...which is why there was no pressure marks on the screen. Furthermore, its not LCD but AMOLED so I would assume that the pressure marks may differ to LCD should there be any excessive pressure applied. Best not to try as glass even though is very hard, it does crack with very little tolerance to flex.

Front glass of my nexus cracked. Fell from approx less than half feet from my track pant pockets
The LCD display is all working well I just can't stand the crack I take my phone out.
It's there any replacement for the glass other than the LG's LCD and digitizer assembly? only the front panel ? I meant only the glass

Ouch...did you just get the phone? I noticed the factory SP is still on. Your best bet is to just send it to LG for a repair. Doubt you will save much, if anything, from repairing it yourself. Parts are expensive and rare.

As far as I know that may not be possible, because unlike old lcd touch screens, where the glass cover and lcd assembly are separate units, the newer phones have them as almost single unit. This gives more effective touch control and cause the high price for display. You may have to change the whole display even though your digitizer may be intact.
it is so unfortunate that our marvel cant even take such a small fall:crying:
On the same subject, any trusty online stores what we can buy the display unit?

The glass and LCD are glued together. I doubt you can only replace the glass.
I'm wondering if we should get tougher cases

No.
I just ordered the rear cover to keep as a back up for my nexus 4 from http://www.etradesupply.com/lg/android-models/lg-nexus-4-e960-parts.html?limit=40 it looks like is the cover from newer nexus 4 without the glitter pattern but If I ever have an accident with the rear cover I'll have a replacement in hand so I can repair it quickly.
A cheapie $1 TPU cover from eBay would've prevented that. It's a damn shame to see something like this happen, especially when it was only a two-feet drop.
Were you rocking it naked or with a case?
Also, the glass and LCD are glued together so you won't get out of this situation without shelling over $100 at the very least and getting it fixed yourself.

Hey Guys, does anyone know where I can get a replacement for metal rim around the glass lens? I dropped the phone and dinged it at the bottom right corner, I was wondering if there is a replacement part for it I can buy somewhere.
Thanks

Looks like you need more than the rim.

Probably have to buy the entire face plate. I would think eBay is your bet for now since the phone me is so new.

Not a chance. Unless you own highly specialised equipment and are highly proficient at changing the glass lens alone, you'll have to replace the entire glass plus display screen plus rim which is costly.
The samoled that Samsung uses has the glass "fused" onto the amoled display screen. This allows the entire screen+glass to become heaps thinner but unfortunately makes it close to impossible to replace the glass alone. Note, it's not impossible but close. Unless you're some sort of phone technician, it'll be impossible

Is S4 phone different from S3 when it comes to glass being fused? I see a lot of 'guides' on youtube on how to replace it, it takes some time, but doable.

Should be similar. However, it seems that the the S4's SAMOLED display breaks easily due to its size. There are reports of people saying that the display cracked underneath the glass.
I saw the guides before on how to separate the glass lens from the display using a heat gun etc etc but those require extreme skill and time.
Would the screen be covered by Samsung warranty? Since I top glass isn't damaged?
