I want it to look new. I feel like I need to replace the glass, home button, the faceplate beneath the glass, and possibly the headset speaker piece. I am mechanically inclined. I just need help in identifying what parts I need to replace and any instructions floating around on the internet.
Thanks!
for a start and this, quite some videos on YouTube on how to change the screen.
[READ THlS FlRST] POST QUESTIONS IN THE Q&A SECTION AND NOT HERE!!!
I did nearly exactly the same to my S3. I purchased a entire new screen/digitizer. I'm not safe changing a lightbulb, however I took the bull by the horns and managed to do it following a video from youtube combined with a ifixit breakdown.
I got mine from http://www.replacedirect.be/product...iii-s3-gt-i9300-lcd-screen-and-digitizer.html ... I opted not to even attempt changing just the glass, it's not really meant to be changeable.
The whole job took around 30 minutes... worked perfectly.
Sold the handset two weeks later and bought an S4
Isn't there a better way to do this than to use a hair dryer?

Buy a new digitizer (glass) + SCREEN for about $180. Very easy install
Or buy a new Galaxy S3 it is even more easy to do :cyclops:
I remember that also, at the moment i hated my life so much because my glass was broken ;(

How about insurance on the phone? You dont have to fiddle around with it then plus it wont mess up your warrenty My screen is broke but since I had it insured Im not worried just had to wait for the access to drop from £70 to £30

I've got my shiny HD2 and i've fallen in love!
But after 4 days of owning i tripped today and my worst fear the screen crack!!! and its huge the screen is covered in 70% cracks. tho it still works but its hard to make out the keyboard in some areas
before all the posts about how to repair i used the search and am aware how to replace and purchase a replacement im looking at £32 on ebay and a few hours of time one weekend...
But now my question in my search for answers i've seen lots and i mean lots of info on this, is the screen the phones achilles heel. is there away to prevent this from happening. eg a good screen protector to help with the stress of dropping all falling!! would gel cases make a difference?
Basicly can i prevent this from happening in the future?
Regards
Wappy
cause you can prevent it, dont drop it!!lol, silcone case helps, ive dropped mine a few times and from height, just has to catch it at the wrong angle and it will go!

wondered how many posts it would be till some one said dont drop it lol
what i feared!.. is there a neck chain or a chain attachment available to i could attach it to my jeans so if it did drop it would only end up by my knee? but there is no hole attachment for it again meaning i have to hold it meaning my little fingers might drop it
Ahh MY old TYTNII I could throw it at people and it still worked lol, but im guessing bigger glass screen = more fragile!
Yeah, it sucks...this happened to my wifes phone like 3 months ago. It had a protector, but apparently a little rock on the floor hit the bottom part of the screen. $125 for a new phone.

and with it still working
i've orded a gel case and a Vikuiti screen protector and hopefully that might help for the next screen

nope, i used a clear box with gloves so i didnt get any crap inside it
would superglue be alright to use under the corner of the touch module?
bottom right corner is lifting and nothing i put on it will hold it, ofcourse super glue would, just dont want it to stuff my module
would it be alright?
Whoa. Nice. It's a Panda Phone~ Lol.
Glad you survived the surgery operation >.<
just used superglue to stick the corner of the touch module down.
its stuck, it aint going absolutly no where, man this **** is strong, stuck my finger to my cloth, had to use salt water to get it off
How did you remove digitizer from housing with heat or something else?

Per schematics I looked at a while ago, and pictures I've seen, I think that the digitizer and the glass are bonded together. He probably just replaced the glass and digitizer at the same time.

That is not cheap solution digitizer cost money!Why replace it if it works?

^Well I am from India, and when I inquired about a few months back, it was priced at 1500 INR.
Replacing the screen wont reduce the sensitivity, right?
assuming the actual lcd panel isn't broken you can easily and cheaply change the digitizer.
search ebay for "galaxy 3 screen digitizer" you can get one for 20$ or more
also there is a video tutorial about this on youtube named "How to replace Samsung i5800 Screen"
good luck
wow :S
i've dropped my galaxy twice now and its working fine xD

No it won t. They will put a new good screen hopefully so sensitivity should increase.

The LCD panel is working fine, even with those cracks its sensitivity hasn't reduced at all.
Thanks

Hi XDA'ers
I recently bought a used mt4g, super cheap price.. but i got that i paid for ...
Saddly the previous owner really didn't take care of it, he didnt keep it in a case, so its pretty scratched and dinged up... but i can like with those, BUT the worst part is that the covering for the back camera is scratched up badly....
it seriously affects my camera quality.. very blurry and grainy
I partly blame htc for a design flaw/oversight .. why would they have that as the most protruding part of the back of the phone..it should have been recessed..anyway
this is the part i want

I guess that I will probably have to get a whole new housing, as I haven't seen this part alone online anywhere.
If any one has a bricked phone or old housing not in use and the camera area is good PLEASE let me know if i can get it...
thanks in advance
that is actually part of the center frame piece. you should be able to find it new on ebay or amazon.

i have already check both of the recommended sites... no luck so far...
when u say 'its a part of the center frame' does that mean it can not be separated from the housing or it can be ?
two weeks later and i am still unable to source this part..

Well, I fell snowboarding the other day with my phone in a chest pocket. I caught an edge and sandwiched my hand between my body and some ice. Needless to say I broke my hand and completely bent my phone but miraculously my screen didn't break, so at least I have that going for me which is nice.
Kind of sucks because HTCS 6 month manufacturing warranty only covers cracked screens, fml
Here are some pictures, I figured somewhere here might enjoy this.

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

On a serious note that should be easily fixed just by replacing the case. That is if everything works fine inside
I got pain on the chest by looking at those pictures.
Hope you can fix it soon.
Yeah, ordering a new backside should be the cheapest way. Replacing it is not hard - all you need is a bit of patience and a source of heat. Order the top and bottom of the front aswell, those are bastards to remove and replace properly - other then that it sounds more dramatic then it is.
remove tops and bottom, heat and remove back side (there is guides on youtube/interwebz). The internals and screen is the expensive parts and those should still be allright for you.
Yea I've thought about replacing the case., I was able to bend it slightly back into place which makes it at least fit in the case again.
Everything works, for now. The only problem I've noticed is two bright spots in the center of the screen most likely from something pushing on the backlight. It's only noticable when looking at dark content which I can lI've with.
I must say HTC did a pretty damn good job engineering this phone :good:
if HTC-LG have a baby...this is the HTC G-flex
@popwarfour At least you managed to answer the question. "HTC One M8 - Does it bend?"
Hope your hand recovers okay.
I actually bent mine as well somehow and I sent it into htc for repair, they fixed it and didn't charge me anything for it. I can't even tell it was even bent. Mine was not as severe as that though.
