Hey everone. I bought a Galaxy s4 recently about two weeks ago. I love this phone alot and had not bought a screen protector or a cover yet (boy was that a mistake). One day will walking my dog, I was talking to a friend. The phone was on my ear. Suddenly, my dog jerked really hard and the phone fell out of my hand. The glass is cracked, well more like shattered. Im not very good with phones and would like to ask if it is Cracked Glass or Cracked LCD ? The phone turns on and works perfectly like the first day I bought it. The touchscreen also works on top of the cracked glass. I have seen some LCD's on Ebay for around $200 which I cant afford. But when I searched " Samsung Galaxy s4 Glass " I came up with some results that were far cheaper. So does anyone know what it is ? Cracked Glass or Cracked LCD ? And if it is cracked glass or lcd, where can I find a replacement for cheap (I live in the U.S.). Thank you all.

From my understanding the amoled display and glass are glued together as a unit, if either one is cracked you must replace the whole screen
Yep unfortunately you must get the whole front panel replaced.

The LCD cracked after I dropped it only 18 inched onto a padded lineolium floor. This is the first LCD I have ever cracked and I have dropped plenty. There are no marks of any kind on the case.
Seems the JASJAR is especially fragile.
Where can I buy a new LCD screen?
I can repair it myself.
Thanks

Hi XDA,
Mi cousin bought a galaxy tab 10.1, he was happy with it, a week ago he was walking and droped it, the result is a broken front glass, the touch screen is working ok, but is ugly to see the glass broken.
Do you know if it's possible to change the glass where to get it?
Send them to the next Samsung Repair Center or to the shop where you purchased it.
does the lcd still work? Here is a google shopping result for the screen and digitizer (touch interface) : http://www.google.com/#q=galaxy+tab....,cf.osb&fp=d9a0bdb8480db12f&biw=1280&bih=800
You'll also need a smartphone tool kit w/ torx screwdriver and plastic pry tool. They are often sold as iphone or ipod tool kits.
The screen is working perfectly, is the glass that is broken, the touch works perfectly also, but is horrible to see the broken glass, I'll look for a samsung service center in my country and see how much they ask to fix it,
How much it costed u?
So today, after owning my S3 for 6 days, I dropped it on the cement and the top glass cracked. Everything works still, just it looks terrible.
Is there any way to replace only the too glass? Or does the entire LCD/digitizer need to be replaced?

As for how to do it, look at YouTube or around the net for instructions.

No dont waste your money buying the glass. The glass is useless, the LCD screen and Touch screen digitizer along with the glass are all one piece fused together. There is no way you can just get the glass and think of replacing it, you will break you LCD and get no where. You need to order one of the full LCD with Touch screen digitizer assembly.
So I dropped my phone today and now the screen is flickering. the screen is smooth and you cannot feel cracks so the glass itself is fine. There are cracks underneath the glass so I'm assuming it's the display. Can anyone direct me to replacement parts?
Thanks

If you don't want new, search on Amazon for S4 LCD. I just bought the black one above for a few dollars more. Its brand new, and you wont regret buying new. Of course there are used ones on ebay, I guess it depends on the quality and reliability of the seller, but i can vouch for the black one i bought on amazon.
So the dreaded happened. Just got my g2 perfect. Set up exactly how I want it. Put lifetime screen protector on it. Got home from getting it done and poof. It flew outta my hand and cracked the glass. Now only have the digitizer works. How many people have replaced them? Is it a pita to do just the digitizer? Or should I just opt for the entire assembly? Would like your opinion s.
Thanks
