Hi, I have my cellphone with broken glass and fully working touchscreen.
Its posibble to change the grass with any other?
Can I make it with a friend cutting that?
The touchscreen will work?
Thanks so much

A lot of times it's easier to change the digitizer and glass as one unit.
Google, model number of phone, and see if they sell just the glass.
Then check the "i fix it" YouTube sites for instructions to do it your self.

Thats what I do first before ask here, I cannot find the spare part.... Its a vowney v5

Your Phone is not a popular model. So you can not find the spare parts. If your phone is samsung or iphone, you can find many screens for replacement. Since ifixit does not have the part, you have to ask your phone supplier to know if your phone can be fixed or replaced. If they accept replace a new phone for you , it is better, if not, you have to pay a lot of money on replacing the full front lcd screen with glass. They will not replace the single glass for you, they will replace the whole front unit. Understand ?
It could be a problem as many manufacturers glue the glass to the display. It's probably way easier to change the entire display with the glass as you also prevent getting any dust between both parts.

I believe the way it works is that the glass is not special but the way it is glued/fused is. It is also a lot less work to switch the digitizer and LCD together. I know of someone who has problems with dust getting behind the glass now when he tried to just replace the glass. I'm not saying that will necessarily happen for you but just as a caution. If you replace the whole unit you can be certain you won't have any dust issues. This should be a fun learning experience. I know changing the screen and digitizer for an iPhone was for me. =)

Hey. I got my tab from the USA and it works great. After two days, I noticed little dirt under the glass. I thougt its a stuck pixel but it is not. I can see it when the screen is black. It doesnt bother be and it is very hard to see, but how a small dirt got there?

Did you buy the tab new? If not, it might have had its screen or it's glass replaced. If the previous owner did it themselves and wasn't in a relatively dust-free environment, that could cause it. If the tab was new, it could mean that part of the screen isn't glued down as well as it should be. (You can test for this by pressing around the edges of the glass.) It could also mean that some dust got in there during assembly. (If the tab is new.) If it isn't bothering you, you can leave it. I don't really think it's worth sending away to Samsung. Apart from that, if it is a US tab, and you are outside of the US, you would have to ship it back to the US since the warranty is not global, but applies only for the country in which it was purchased. (This is tied to the serial number, so the US serial qualifies it for US warranty and disqualifies it for any other warranty.) Hope this helps.
I have the exact same thing. It's like a pixel sized dust. You can see it when tab is off under bright light. Noticed it 3 weeks after I got the tab. It is right below , left of the stereo input.
It looks like the dust is in between the protective layer and actual display. I did not know if these two layers are seperable. Not a big deal but would like to know if there is any fix.
My tab is brand new. I dont have warrenty in Israel but I can fix it here. Is the tab 100 percent dust sealed? I guess that dust and small dirt can enter any device...

I noticed it after 2 days. However, I can live with it. Most of the people wont even notice it.
Could it be the same as this

No. It is a pixel size dirt. Otherwize, this tablet is perfect.

I have another case of this. Perfect screen with one tiny spec. Hard to see it, but once you notice it... You notice it. I'm curious of possible fixes too.

The frame of my Tab wasn't fully glued when I got it. At least it felt like that, after a while of pushing it down from time to time it was fine. Maybe some dust got in there when the frame was coming out.
I had the same thing from the refurbished one I bought from Newegg. I called them instead of Newco and they told me to send it to them and they will replace it. So now the wait. I will keep you guys posted on what they do for me.
FWIW, it is not as simple as just removing the glass/digitizer from the display and cleaning it off. The digitizer (the glass on the front of the tab) is held in place by adhesive tape. The adhesive is about the width of the black border all the way around the screen, so about 1/2" or 50mm, the adhesive is also very, very strong. I'm sure you could get it off without damaging the digitizer, but it would be a long tedious process risking both the LCD and the digitizer itself. If you do manage to remove it without destroying it, then you clean it, and have to apply new adhesive, and replace it, and hope you didn't miss any dust.
Heat will help release the adhesive, but IMO there is still more risk than reward in doing this to a tab with a good digitizer. I have replaced the digitizer on my tab when it was broken, and I have got to say that it is a tedious process. In the end, I had everything as clean as possible outside a cleanroom, and I ended up with some dust specs under the digitizer. If it is under warranty, and you can utilize said warranty, that is definitely the way to go.
Also, the back side of the tab is not sealed at all. The glass should be sealed to the LCD, not the entire tab sealed in the back case. If anything, I could believe that dust could enter between the digitizer and LCD where the FPC cable exits the digitizer, there is a very narrow band of adhesive tape in this location. If it was going to fail, and let stuff in after manufacturer, I would guess it would be here.
Good luck,
Jason
This is a chinese s4 phone, after dropping it glass broke and screen displayed these lines as shown in pictures. What i want to ask is should i change the glass only or does it need a new digitizer? touch screen responds well, no problem there. just these lines. anyone have any clue if this can be fixed without changing the digitizer?
Change both digitizer and display

It's clearly that both are broken - and the digitizer is glued to the display, so you must change them both.

Thanks for your fast reply So do you know maybe if i can find a cheap chinese digitizer? not worth buying the original one which probably is not compatible, correct?
Look on aliexpress.com they have cheap digitisers and glass

Since this is fake Chinese S4 it's a real miracle to find part which is for your phone and one that works. LCD and Digitizer (glass) are not laminated in your case, so replacing them should be easy.

Don't think there would be a screen from a chinese knock off, and furthermore most of those parts aren't even genuine Samsung parts.
so not worth repairing a fake phone assuming you even can. buy something half decent at a 2nd hand store. hope you looked for malware on that phone before you started using it...
The glass might be glued to the digitizer, but it can also be unglued.
Take a blow dryer, set it on hot air and blow dry the phone. The glue will heat up and become liquid again. Use a guitar pick and try to pry the glass from the screen and slowly pull it off.
I've seen this being done once (on an original S4), so yeah, I'm sure it is possible.
After the glass is off you should see if it still has those lines or not.
Unfortunately I cracked my screen the other day and just wanted to know can the glass just be replaced or is it always available as one unit glass/digitizer?

It's one unit I think.

Just use a heatgun to separate, but personally I wouldn't risk doing that
I work with maintenance of cellphones, tablet, PC's, Notebook etc and I can say to you, that's almost impossible... Only if you have a (really) soft hand, because the display below the touch and the glass are too (I say, too for real) slim, and the chances of break the display is too high... Don't try to do this alone as well.
Edit: the heat gun can do the trick as the @fingerprinted said, but honestly... don't worth it
Not to mention that once separated the chance of getting fingerprints, dust, etc between the LCD & the digitizer is huge. Once you have it back together and notice something in between your going to be po'd. The whole unit LCD + digitizer is about ~50 bucks, so I can't see trying to just replace the digitizer as being a good gamble.

In b4 cracked digitizer
screen note 4 is a single component? Or glass and touch screen ..
I fell and I was a broken screen. The touch screen works very well, but it bothers me to see the line break and want change.

I'm not sure if it's one or two parts. But pay the extra money and get the screen and housing in one. It makes the fix a whole lot easier and less time consuming

Yes... but ... the difference is ... 10 Dollars or 300 dollars.

Where are you sourcing these parts?
The glass screen is actually glue onto the digitizer/AMOLED panel. So you are better of replacing the entire front panel rather than the glass as chances are you are gonna damage the digitizer/AMOLED panel when you remove the glass anyway.
Has anyone looked for, or found, a replacement for the top plastic layer of the phone? I don't need one right now, but as my plastic layer is gathering scratches I'll want to replace it eventually.
I got one from Motorola for the turbo 2 in the past, but looking around I haven't seen one for the Moto z force yet.

haven't really been actively looking for it but I asked a Verizon corporate store rep today if they had them in yet and so far no one has got them in yet.

Once you have a new display, to avoid future scratches,, look into buying the "flexible" glass protector product from VZW...its the one made by vzw, make sure it says "flexible".
You will not even be able to tell when it is on the Z Force.
I used a razor and removed the shattershield plastic and replaced it with the pleson (new design) tempered glass. It's amazingly better.

No concerns about voiding the shatterproof warranty? Any better than just applying the pleson on top of the shattershield plastic? Still happy with the result?
I would like to know how that went. You were able to just use a straight razor and shave off the plastic? Did it damage the glass underneath at all? I can't stand this plastic!
I've never quite understood the appeal of glass screen protectors (well, aside from just liking the feel of glass), especially on a phone with a Shattershield display like ours. Why protect an unbreakable screen with a breakable screen protector???
I've used soft military-grade clear film protectors on the last 4 or 5 phones I've had, and I acknowledge that they feel different than glass, but after years with them, I'm guess I'm just used to it . I don't really miss the feel of glass. The way I look at it, this way I protect my unbreakable-but-plastic screen from scratches, and I never have to worry about cracking my protector. I've also found that they generally fit WAY better than glass ones, which rarely seem to go edge-to-edge. Just personal preference, I guess.
I've been very partial to Skinomi's TechSkin protectors. They fit like a dream, they're easy to apply (YES, the micro bubbles sometimes take a day or two to fully disappear, but they will!), and their warranty is great. I'm aware this doesn't really answer your question, but while you're waiting for the SS replacement layers to become available, I bet if you threw one of these on your phone, it would "cover up" the scratches you're accumulating while not having to add a thick, breakable layer to your phone. Just my two cents!

If you have a student in your family, there's even a discount. You need to validate it though.
