Hi, I broke my Nexus 4, the display still works but touch works only on upper part, I have found a glass lenses replacement for about 14 dollars I dont want to buy a whole new lcd as it cost about $100.
On ifixit I havel also found this:
The glass is fused to both the display and the display frame. So don't crack the glass unless you're good with a heat gun, or you're fond of replacing the glass, display, and frame together ($$$).
So are there any guides how to do it with heat gun?

So today my phone dropped on the ground flat on the ground from about hip height and after picking it up i noticed i now have a cracked screen from the top.
I'm wondering how much the plastic front lens will run about. I see some prices online for about 100-180$ and it seems like every1 is pointing to the g1 digitizer?
The touch screen features work properly with no problems at all. I'm wondering, is that whats really needed? Or is there just the plastic lens somewhere?
Don't really feel like spending around 130 bucks for accidental damage. Might awell wait for a different phone to come out .
I know you can order just the glass but I have never needed to repair the glass or LCD on a G1 or MT3G. From just looking at mine I assume you can seperate the digitizer from the LCD.

the G1 digitizer is not a "plastic lens" it's the touchscreen, which sits on top of the LCD screen. I bought a replacement digitizer for relatively cheap on Ebay. If you are going to fix it be extremely careful. I managed to break the flex cable of my LCD screen fixing the digitizer....
Hi, has anyone disassembled omnia 7 screen before? May I know whether the glass and lcd are glued together and whether it is difficult to pry open the screen? (I have pried an ipod touch screen before)
*I just broke my omnia glass and thinking of getting a replacement from ebay but the lcd and glass package is too expensive (>$100) while the glass only is below $20 so I was thicking of getting the glass only.
Thanks
First of all, how the hell did you manage that - it's Gorilla Glass!
There is a tear down of the phone here
Quite complicated and delicate process unless you are familiar with doing this kind of thing.
As for the glass being connected to the digitizer, yes I think they will be stuck together with some sort of glue resin. Probably not the best idea to prise away and try and fit yourself, I suspect you'll be disappointed with a homemade attempt to stick a new pane of glass on.
I actually couldn't find the glass-only on eBay, I could only find the £80+ glass and digitizer items.
Claim it on household insurance, send it back to Samsung or save up the £80?
I've decided to go naked with my Nexus 4. Having dropped it once already and cracking the back, I'm curious what would be involved with fixing a front display crack.
The LCD display is located behind the digitizer glass, so if you manage to break it without breaking the exterior glass then I'd be impressed (without opening the phone from the opposite side).
wait i think i'm mistaken, so the actual glass that i'm touching is the digitzer?
i'm under the assumption that it's glass>digitizer>lcd display and that when the phone drops, only the glass breaks. my question under that assumption again is does the digitizer also get damaged?
Well you are correct, the digitizer is the thin sensor layer behind the glass, but the trend with touchscreen phone is they're glued in together with the glass as a single unit, and I don't think they even sell them separately.

There is a youtube video to replace the glass/digitizer, but its looks like it will require some patience. It doesn't help that LG tape the digitizer to the LCD to make them seamless as well, making the process harder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paRc_n4uB8s
Hi everybody,
some time ago I dropped my X Style and a tiny crack appeared in the bottom left angle... The phone is still perfect in everything else, it's not worth it to replace the screen for something like this... It's just a little ugly.
Then I found this on ebay:
"MOTOROLA MOTO X STYLE BLACK SCREEN DISPLAY GLASS OUTER LENS DIGITIZER XT1572
This is just the outer lens, not the digitizer" (I cannot post links, but you can reach it by using "mJnRmL" code in the google url shortener)
But I'm not sure what "lens" and "digitalizer" refers to... Is it the whole external glass replacement, or just the borders or something else?
And if it's the whole glass, do you think is safe (and worth it) to perform the replacement by myself, or maybe pay same shop to do it for me?
Thank you in advance!
The glass is glued to the screen. Unless you have experience with separating glass from the display on phones, followed by applying a fresh coat of LOCA Glue, and using a UV light to cure it, I'd just go for the whole assembly. The digitizer is under the glass, above the display.
It's not the same phone, but here's a video of how it's done:
Hi everyone !
I dropped my Samsung S10+ last weekend and the front glass broken, but the screen are working fine.
I know that this kind of damage are not covered by Samsung warranty, so I checked with some local repair shop.
No one seem to replace just the glass, their replace the screen and the glass together, this mean, a expensive reparation cost.
I asked them why their don't replace only the glass, but I only receive anwser like 'We don't replace glass, we change the screen who come with the glass"
Do you know why their won't replace the glass only ?
I seen on Amazon some front glass at only 40$ CAD with tool, UV adhesive and lamp. I confortable to do it myself. I watched some videos, but seem that everyone dissasemble the phone completly to change the glass on the screen.
Why not just removing the glass directly ?
Thank you for your anwser !
I think it is because the oled panels in this phones are so thin that separating the front glass from them would break them.
