Nexus 4 front glass repair Q's - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I unfortunately dropped my phone and the front glass cracked, breaking the digitizer at the same time. Due to an interesting situation I'm in, I just need the front glass to be fixed, the digitizer doesn't matter to me. So basically I just need to the phone to look perfect from the outside. I've seen the front glass only for $30, but also read about how hard it is to just replace the glass without breaking the digitizer. Though, for me, I don't care if the digitizer is broken, so is it still too difficult to be worth it? Or would it be easier since there's no worry about the condition of the digitizer?
Thanks

Bump

Why do you want it to look good if it's still broken? This smells fishy...
Anyway, your main problem is probably going to be separating the two.

The digitizer on this phone is built into the screen. I don't think you can separate it.

Digitizer and LCD are fused together.

"Due to an interesting situation I'm in, I just need the front glass to be fixed, the digitizer doesn't matter to me" Are you kidding? Are you trying to half fix it just to con someone into buying it?!

lol, kinda expected those responses. As long as the glass is fixed, im going to be able to get it exchanged via Best Buy's PEP. My friend works there and I already got the OK to do that. Yes, I know it is abuse of the system, but at store level they really don't care.
Thanks for the responses so far

Actions like this make prices higher for the rest of us so excuse me if I don't help you do that. Have you looked into whether your original purchase was covered by any damage insurance that came with your credit card? If your credit card is like mine you can use that coverage to get a new phone and that would be much better than committing fraud just because your friend gave you permission that isn't his to give.

I could do a insurance claim and get a whole new phone but that's 130 trying to find a cheaper way
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm pretty sure your not going to find this screen for less then $130. If you do post it on here.
Well that's why I was asking on here to see if its possible if not then I will go for the insurance
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
They told me it would only be $90 for my insurance....
They told me 130, but it is a matter of worth is it worth it to you to maybe save 20-30 bucks on a screen when they will most likely just give you a new phone? Not really worth it to me.
there was someone that posted either in this forum or the i9000 forum that he had found a display screen for his vibrant at a vendor in texas for $65
i'll look for the thread and come back and post if i find it but you might look for it as well -
found it - was in the captivate forum - you might check with the OP to see if he got what he paid for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745467&highlight=screen
I would like to have 2 working vibrants. That would be nice it would give me a test phone and a normal use phone. I will probably just do the insurance and be done. And worry about this screen later on. The screen being cracked has minimal effects on viewing the screen and zero effect to the responsiveness of the the touch screen but it does get annoying to look at after a while. And I do have this one running a 1741 quadrant score with little effort but will work great on the insurance claim phone

Here is the link that has the captivate screen, you might call them and see if they can get the Vibrant. The price on the 'Cap' is really cheap in compirson to what i thought it would be. Only like $75.

Yep.. I have a big scratch on my Gorilla Glass. I'm not sure how it happened. Just looked at it yesterday and there it was. I'm guessing keys in the pocket or something.

I effed up, learn from my mistake...

Well, I'll be getting my $100 replacement tomorrow.
I'm usually very handy with electronics, I used to take my Blackberry's apart all the time and blow the dust out.
So I read up on disassembling the EVO and thought "this is gonna be a piece of cake". Well every set of instructions I found said it was SOO easy to take it apart, what they didn't say was they were assuming you have a replacement screen ready to go and that trying to remove the screen from the bezel separated the touch input from the backside of the glass.
Maybe I did it wrong but I broke my precious and almost cried.. a little.
I no longer have any touch input on the bottom half of the screen including the 4 buttons at the bottom. And you can see from the front how it looks like a clear sticker has been pulled apart from the glass. The LCD is fine, just totally jacked up the touch input.
So the purpose of this thread is to warn anyone else who may consider disassembling their EVO to read more than I did.
It may actually be very easy to get the thing apart, getting it back together is another story
Ouch man that sucks
From the fade
Condolences for the dear departed one. A point well taken, thanks!
Although I've "played" with dismantling many electronics during my days, this is one I would not take on. I even opted for the additional cost with BestBuy for their low price replacement for our 2 Evo's.
hmmm........
Aww man so sorry for you lost. That's great you've put up this post as I was just thinking about replacing my evo casing from all the cosmetic damage I've put on it while dropping. Thanks to you my friend this make my decision much easier.
I was going to do the same thing for the same purpose. Thanks for the heads up.

Damn, I didn't even think of looking. Actually my girl called Sprint and ordered the replacement the next morning without telling me.
It arrived this morning, its a refurb. The bezel is cracked and there's a bright spot on the screen. I called asurion right away, they shipped another already. Im keeping my fingers crossed that the next is in better condition.
Thanks for the link though!

That sucks alot!!!
I did the same thing, wish I'd have read this post first! I had the dust in the upper left of my screen. I have taken this phone apart before, but not removed the glass. In attempting to remove the glass I messed up the upper right corner of the touch screen (just a small area but still sucks!) and now the tint of some colors is messed up. Also rashed up the plastic on the edges some. Oh and I did get the glass off just enough to spread the friggin dust all around haha. Oh well it's livable until June when I can get a full upgrade (hopefully the EVO 3D!). Let my post here serve as a SECOND warning for those who want to attempt to remove the dust themselves. The glass is glued down and you pretty much have to destroy the phone to remove it. Don't try it!!

My screen is cracked to all hell. Is there a youtube video showing a strip down of the epic? Is there a guide on how to replace it? I have the lcd and ditizer,so I'm all set except for the actual replacement. LOL

would you mind sharing the source for the screen/digitizer for those that haven't broken their screens yet ?
Just curious.
I do not know how to tear it down yet though.
Thanks for sharing.

You sure you got the right screen? Epic uses SAMOLED, not LCD... also, the digitizer and the LEDs are part of the same construct (one of the reasons it's "super"), so you'd effectively be really just changing the display with integrated digitizer. The glass itself is glued to the plastic case. You'd need to find a way to pull it up, from what I can tell. (I have not ever taken one apart, but it is almost certain that it is a glued screen, which explains why some people are having peeling issues (my Evo had this.))
There is not much for the Epic but some info for the original Galaxy S

yea i was just saying "lcd" i got the right one i know
taking a look at the links below
ok well by the looks of it, its pretty much the same thing. i talked to a tech at a repair center, and he said he MIGHT be able to do it. if not, i think i probably have about 70% chance of getting it right. the video showed a break down right down to the digitizer, and it looks almost EXACTLY like that i have, so in theory, i should just have to go as far as gettting the back off, and putting the back BACK on the NEW digitizer/amoleisupmyassed, right?
also, just for clarification, i know i have the right one bcuz i can see the button whole thingies and its the same as what the epic has (menu, home, back, search)
thanks for the useful links& help guys

I've watched a video for another galaxy phone ... the reason I'm nervous about this one is because on the Epic the screen is on a separate part of the assembly because of the keyboard.
Also: The video shows how to take it apart .. but not how to put it together again. Do I need to glue it together again? What type of glue?

No even though Sprint has it in their system as marked "bad esn" samsung will not have to do with this. Although I don't think Samsungs warranty covers accidents, such as dropping your phone and cracking the screen.
Hope you get it figured out!

Well Samsung has their own warranty thing...but I would confirm by contacting Samsung..don't tell them you swapped networks or anything of course..otherwise I don't think they would bother to check...
You can always flash it back too..unless phone doesnt work completely?
I got the whole screen + keyboard for under $60 on ebay. It turned out to be as simple as unscrewing and unsnapping the cover, disconnecting three connectors, removing the electronics and putting them in to the new frame. If I'd have to do it again it wouldn't take more than 15 minutes.

Somehow "broke" my replacement digitizer - help?

The dis-assembly went rather smoothly. When I was kind of finangling to get the new digitizer on, I noticed that the actual strip had become lose. I believe this may have been caused by the heat of my hand - or perhaps it was fault to begin with.
Now looking at the circuitry and the ribbon itself, it doesn't seem like anything is broken. Would there be any way for me to adhere the ribbon back on properly in order to make my digitizer work again? I don't really have the money to shell out for a brand new one and this is a bit of a pain in the butt.
Thanks in advance.

I think it may be a fault in the replacement you ordered and should request a new one. The "heat" from your hand couldnt have done that, and if it did, that would have happened anyway because the internals of the phone would get much hotter

I'm fairly sure it was quite loose right when I took it out of the package. It pretty much slipped off kind of like a soapy sticker. This can't be right, can it?

Perfect. The part definitely seemed strange from the get-go. The company offered me 10% off, which I don't really feel is fair if the part is actually defective.

So the part is defective and they wont replace it free?

Threaten to get BBB involved. That's the only way I got repair universe to send me a replacement after many emails about the matter. The digitizer they sent me had the ribbon cut nearly in half. Gave me the run around about how their stuff is fully tested before leaving the site and if I could take a picture. I told them all I wanted was my digitizer and if they couldn't honor their return policy I would call BBB and report. I was given the RMA the next email.

I agree, but like you said. When you are dealing with an internet company with no supposed phone support, sometimes that's what needs to be done. Although I did eventually find a phone number for them, I didn't need to use it before they finally made it right.

[Q] Water Damaged S4... why me? [UPDATED]

Well I did it... Water damaged S4. I was on vaca on Hilton Head when I took my phone with me into the pool completely forgetting I had it in my pocket. Insurance was useless because I only added it after the occurrence and they can apparently see now if there is any active use on the phone in question so they said no. So I guess I have just a couple of questions:
#1 How salvageable is this device? I have read some other posts about taking the phone apart and using ethanol or isopropal to remove any chemical or salt deposits.
#2 Is this even worth trying...? Based off the pics is this even a worth while cause?
Thanks and plz belay the '[email protected] comments. I have been through it all since this past Friday.
UPDATE:
Well after a few hours with the isopropal alc. and a toothbrush I got the phone all cleaned up and dried with a hairdryer. This was a few hours ago but I decided to give it a try and put the battery back in. Unfortunately I think it succumbed to the damage- all that would happen is the usual vibrate as you hold down the power button but the screen will not light up and no sound.
Someone noted that the corrosion looked especially bad... it was probably all the chlorine build up as I had the phone submerged for about 5-10 minutes. I posted some 'AFTER' pics of my cleaning job and you may notice that there may have been some shorting or heat damage done to some of the components.
Lastly, after a heartfelt conversation with my wife about what my options were we discussed the notion of adding a line to our plan as we'll have need of a 'home' phone eventually (jr. coming in July). So I think I may be able to trade in the iphone 4 I've been using and get another one.
That looks like some pretty bad corrosion. I've had luck in the past with removing all the parts attached to the logic board and giving it an "acid bath" in isopropal and scraping what you can away with like a spudger or a toothpick. I also believe that the display assembly and LCD are fused together, so while you hopefully don't have leakage into that area.
That being said, that is some of the oddest residue I have seen from water damage, maybe because of the salts/chemicals used in the pool? You might try and tear down as much as you can in terms of mid-frames and the like, and use a dampened cloth to remove all of that gunk.
Worst that can happen is that it doesn't work and you sell it on ebay as "slightly used"
Here is the ifixit guide, best of luck to you! http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S4+Teardown/13947/1

Wow, dude sorry, good pics, before you do anything, get some dry white rice, put in a sealed plastic bag, seal each part in the rice for 24-48hrs...it may work, had a friend drop his in tolit, we got it to work using this process, what could trying it hurt eh? Good Luck.

Sorry to say, but I think it's too far gone for any of these suggestions. Those methods are meant for immediate action after taking a short dip in water (such as a toilet). From the looks of those pictures, I'd say you did some good long swimming in that pool before realizing your phone was along for the ride. So I think you may be SOL. Just a forewarning in case you try some of these methods with high expectations.

probably not the best idea to post a picture with your imei, in case you do get your phone working. Just throwing that out there.

More likely he is in no danger of getting that phone working again.

That phone is beyond repair, looks very bad. I had my captivate sit in the tub for 3 hours and when I opened it, it didnt look anything like that and after a few hours the phone was back at work with a new battery. Sorry OP but you have a very expensive paper weight.

Check with your credit card company. You might be covered under their accidental damage coverage policy, if any.

I actually did just that. Amex has it covered under their purchase protection so I'm covered financially, now its just the fact that I now have a AT&T Contract with nothing to show for it...
I did exactly the same thing on vacation with an iphone 4s. After that I paid and sent my new phone to a company that waterproofs the boards and components in the phone. Was only like 45 dollars plus shipping. Tested it out and the water just slides right off the boards in the phone xD amazing stuff

Worst that can happen is that it doesn't work and you sell it on ebay as "slightly used"

You're advocating that he scam somebody on Ebay? The **** is wrong with you?
