Ouch - 1st things first get a screen protector/ seriously to protect the broken glass (not to the protect the phone) / Its probably too early, but u can look for a new digitizer / it's gonna be expensive / i'm assuming you don't have insurance (or the co-pay is really high)/ sorry about the phone...
edit double ouch... ($262)

If u have insurance, i would go that route...
Yeah tell me about it, bad luck and ouch..
I was thinking about the digitiser and stuff, but isn't that for the touch screen function? That works and so the screen, any way to replace the top plastic only?
Sorry if silly question, making suire
Thanks in advance

It's quite a specialist task with a very strong chance of things going wrong (you can see an example here); I would recommend just buying a new digitiser + display.
Damn, I'll see what I can do. From the UK, need to find UK parts

Sounds like something got messed up in the replacement. I had the same problem after shattering my screen and replacing digitizer. I just did a warranty replacement with att.
try this.
but I think pre4speed's right..
I had screen issues after replacing the screen as well. What I did was go to best bust mobile, open a line with the atrix, wait a week, return broken phone and profit!

the screen and digitizer are glued together, expensive
It is possible to separate them but it is fiddly, hit and miss, and requires skill and patience.
There is a thread in s3 general about doing it, with a video.
Ahh I thought was separate sorry for misunderstanding

They are very hard to prise apart so my suggestion is live with the scratch and get a screen guard.......always, whenever you get a new phone!
Depending on your phones colour, this is what you will need. He is a UK seller and trusted i can confirm his item is legit. I was playing Basket ball with my brother near my house and the floor was concrete floor. Anyway i took a shot and the phone fell out my jacket pocket and landed face down. The screen protector got totally f'd up and i still got a scratched and a cracked screen.
I was looking at youtube videos on how to replace the screen it looked hard till i found these two items on ebay.
Blue touch panel and metal frame with hardware buttons.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-...arts_Tools&hash=item5aea0d4273#ht_3037wt_1163
White touch panel and metal frame with hardware buttonss.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-...arts_Tools&hash=item5aea48657e#ht_4474wt_1163
Anyway so i have a white phone i ordered the white digitizer metal frame thingy it is quite expensive, When it arrived all i did was take my phone apart and take the important parts like the mic, motherboard, front facing camera and etc and swapped it into the new one and it works great again looks brand new as well.
Thanks that's what I'm looking for

Hey!
I'm really sorry if this kind of thread is somewhere in here, but it is really urgent.
So i have broke my nexus 7's glass and touchscreen isn't responding. Where ca i get some kind of replacement and how much it would cost?
And maybe there is some way to get touchscreen working, i don't care that much about broken glass.
The touch and glass are unique peace on N7.
Today the best option is to buy another N7. The repair is about 160+ US$. Or you can wait a few months till price drop

Phone is cracked on front and back what're my options here?
send it in to LG for repair... i know when my screen cracked it cost $140 to repair, i'm unsure as to what the cost would be to repair the back as well.
alternatively you can buy the glass itself and replace it yourself but in my case it was cheaper to just have lg fix it.

Buy a new phone?
Am I close? Maybe get virgin mobile and build your way back up to the nexus.

When this happened to me I just bought another one that had the opposite damage. You could probably get away with a water damaged phone if the digitizer isn't sensitive to a little h2o.
Is that all that's damaged?
Pictures? Did you fall on it or something, I mean, 185 lbs, lol...
Picture or it didn't happen :thumbup:

Lol yeah if 185lbs was dropped on it I feel like more than just glass was damaged.

get the front and back replaced rough estimate= 150+60=210 $ best of luck
well i took it in to get repaired.. the guy came out half way through the repair and said that they put a new screen in but that it wasn't responsive.. i'm thinking more than just the screen and back broke.. the guy said it was for sure their screen though.. he told me that they'd order a new one and have it done tomorrow.. hope it was actually a faulty screen...
Leave us an update. I got my pop corn nearby

Guys, I have a first gen nexus 7 to repair, Im pretty handy as I repair quite a lot of stuff but I haven't done one of these yet.
The question I have is can the digitizer be separated from the lcd panel? I've noticed that you can buy digitizers separately and together with lcd panels. But I read a few things where people say they can't get them seperated? I have a heat gun...can it be done? Or should I just pay more for the combo?
Thanks guys.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No no no no......you definitely want the combo. The seperate pieces would need to be bonded and thats a pain. The combo is definately the best route.
best route is to sell it on eBay for parts and get the new nexus7
I've taken a look, you guys are right. ...there is no way that digitizer is coming off that lcd with destroying both. Im good as this stuff, and even swapping the combo is a pain in the ass!
