I dropped my G2 and the screen cracked and the touch screen still works in places, it varies where though, would I need a new digitizer and LCD or could I just replace the glass? I got insurance but if I can fix it for a bit less than 200, I'd rather do that...

You need to replace both digitizer and LCD as they are a 2 for 1 kind if thing you can actually grab some on eBay for around 140$ and replace it yourself or get warranty replacement

Hey all,
My Nexus 4 recently had a run in with some concrete and I've shattered both the front glass and the back glass on the phone. I've lost touch response below the crack running horizontally across the screen.
I'm assuming I not only need both faces of glass, as well as a new LCD to recover touch response in that area. Does anybody happen to know a good place to get parts for it? (read also: as cheap as possible without getting a garbage product)
EBay.... I bought my screen for about $90 it was the real one and high quality

Did it include the glass and replacement screen?

I recently came across a Kijiji add for a nexus 4 with a broken digitizer and glass although both the post and the picture say/show the LCD is working. Is it possible and or how hard would it be to fix? He has a link in the ad for eBay parts for $50 for glass and digitizer to fix it. Should I buy it? He wants $60 for the broken phone.

Digitizer is the part that senses the touch. Most of the times when the glass breaks the LCD is safe. digitizer and the glass are fused together so it comes as one part. Replacing it would be fine.

My i9505's glass has cracked, not the digitiser just the glass everything else works fine. Does anyone know where I can get a genuine replacement online? I fear I will buy a fake one.

Hey all, I convinced a friend to get the nexus 4 and she had it for about a month before it fell/got ran over from a golf cart and now the screen is smashed and of course no touch input activity. The phone will still power on, receive calls/text and otherwise seems undamaged. My question is, do I suggest to her to sell it as is to some willing person as a fixer upper or do I order a new screen and fix it for her? Costs are the topic she is wondering. Like I say, phone works, no cosmetic damage besides the screen, and the back glass is fully intact.
Any help is always appreciated!
TIA

Do you have any experience with repairing a screen? If not it might just be better to buy another Nexus off of Craigslist and possibly sell this one for around $50-$80. The least you'll probably find another Nexus 4 on Craigslist for is $150. I paid $200 for mine (16gb in mint condition) off of Craigslist 2 months ago

Buy a screen assembly (includes both LCD and digitizer) for the Nexus 4 on ebay and use a T5 torque screwdriver to open the phone. It's not very difficult of a process.
Lcd assembly are $140 shipped OEM on eBay. U also need the tools

Thanks guys,
Yes, I've repaired other screens before so I'm not worried about that process. Thanks for all the help, decision time.
Cheers

Nexus 4 are pretty easy to take apart. Just watch out for the ribbon cables
Hello. My wife dropped her S4 on concrete alittle over a month ago and has a crack on the top part of the phone. Everything was fine until today when she went to turn on her phone and the screen is black. Everything works as far as notifications, sounds, etc. even the touch works on the screen. I managed to go to a real dark room and barely see the screen enough to turn the brightness all the way up but the screen has a real pale white and some lines through it. Just wierd it started to act up today after she dropped it over a month ago. Does this mean the digitizer is faulty or is it something else? I attached a picture for you to see it.
It means the LCD is bad. The Digitizer is what detects touch. Best bet is to replace the whole screen and digitizer assembly. It's not cheap, but it is easy to do.

This is the one that I got. It comes complete and looks like a factory original. All the markings match the ones from the broken one I took off mine. It's not cheap, but it is easy.
Mobiletechvideos also has a service for screen replacement.
