I just got a new replacement from Ebay. The new one got a thin, glossy protective plastic/film glued hard on the back of glass ( see pix for better explaination) So, will it prevent the 3M double side to work ? Beside 3M double sided tape, is there any other glue to work better?

so i had broke the digitizer or my HD2 about 4 months ago and just now repairing it. I have now stumbled upon a problem tho. I would like to know what thickness is the double sided adhesive foam tape that is used to hold the lcd+digitizer to the chasis. Thanks in advance
Same here. I broke my digitaizer, and want buy new one (digitaizer+lcd) on brando.
And when it arrives to me, same question for me. Early, i think that new double sided adhesive foam tape already on the back panel of new LCD....
the lcd+digitizer comes clean with no foam adhesive . i was quite mad lol. i mean i know the thickness should be rather thin but i would like the right measurements for the best results. i tried using regular double sided tape but that wasnt strong enough and the lcd would puff back up due to loss of grip. I really want to get my hd2 back up and running since i bought it on first release international which is not cheap compared to today's pricing on the hd2.
Anyone know at all??? i swear a lot of people are questioning about lcd repairs and stuff so why wont anyone know about the thickness of the double sided foam tape??? im about to just randomly buy some and hope for the best.
its either 1/16 or 1/32 of an inch.
Look in a craft shop that sells card making stuff.
You can get different thickness foam double sided tape.
If you are careful, you can just use a glue like Bostick, place a thin strip on plastic frame, then drop glass onto glue and press it down gently until glass is level with case, clean off any excess glue before re-assembly.
glue is a messy job lol. i would rather just buy the double sided foam tape since its not that much and easy fix.
Ok, So a bought a replacement lcd with fitted digitiser, and it came with pre installed adhesive around the perimeter of the screen.
This is the one I bought http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351392704208?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Anyone though it claims this screen is OEM I can for one believe this is the adhesive used by Samsung as it may as well be non existent, it does not hold the screen onto the phone well and I find I am forever having to run my fingers around the edge of the screen to give it a bit of hold before it gradually comes away from the chassis again. To confirm before fitting the new screen I did clean up and remove all bits of the hold adhesive and bits of broken glass etc .
So what do you recommend how can I best adhere my screen and also is there a tried and tested adhesive that will give my phone back its IP67 rating?
I have a Moto X Pure with a broken screen. I replaced it with a new screen and frame from iFixit, but the replacement screen had a few bad spots and I had to RMA that. So I disassembled the phone again for the RMA. After being taken apart twice, the original adhesive on the back panel is starting to ball up and wear out a bit.
What's the best replacement? I was only able to find one company selling a pre-cut double-sided foam part anywhere, and they're quoting 21 days for shipment.
I'm sure I can do a decent job by removing all the old adhesive and using some 3M double-sided VHB tape, but I'm not sure which tape to get or how thick it needs to be.
Has anyone done this before? Any suggestions?
Hi.
I have cracked the rear battery glass cover again on my S8. Its the forth time it happens. And I don't know why.
I have bought genuine battery glass covers from ebay. But it doesn't hold long before the glass cracks again.
Does anyone know if there is an reinforced (maybe aluminium or carbon)?
(Sorry for my bad english)
try putting a skin on it. https://dbrand.com/shop/samsung-galaxy-s8-skins they look nice and should work like a screen protector on it.
Make sure you are taking off the foam part of the sticky part they put on it. The glass should fit flush against the back with the thin thin layer of adhesive they put. My mistake and I cracked the first one because it flexed.

What foam? I only took plastic of the adhesive tape that was already applied on the cover. Then placed the cover on the phone

So recently I cracked the rear glass on my Pixel 2 XL. After searching around, I found the "official"repair places wanted around $80 to replace this. Then I found eBay had replacement glass for $13 (in the US, cheaper from China), and decided to give it a try. Figured worse case scenario I end up at the repair place getting the glass replaced anyway, and I'm out $13 extra.
This was not a difficult process necessarily, what I will say is that the glass used is extremely thin (stock and aftermarket), and the process of removing the old glass is likely to produce many tiny glass fragments.
Here's how I did it, if anyone is interested in giving this a try:
1. Mis en place. I used a couple plastic and nylon spudgers, guitar picks, one metal spudger, a hair dryer, and packing tape. I did this repair in the bathroom near the sink so I could easily brush small glass pieces into the sink and wash them down the drain.
2. Start off by heating up the rear glass with the hair dryer, but not too hot. You need to be able to hold the phone afterall. Take a piece of packing tape and place it over the rear glass to somewhat keep it together.
3. I used the thin metal spudger to get started on one side of the glass. I started on the broken side as I already had a gap there to work with. Slowly go around and remove the glass and double sided tape from the rear frame.
3. Remove the camera lens cover from the glass. It's attached to the glass with double sided tape. Most likely going to be small chunks of glass stuck to the front of the lens assembly.
4. Clean up any leftover glue/double sided tape and chunks of glass, so you have a nice clean surface to stick the new glass to.
5. Install the lens cover on the replacement glass, and clean the inside and outside of the lens cover and inspect the camera assembly itself for chunks of glass/dust/etc.
6. Install the new glass (with lens cover now attached) to the back of your Pixel 2 XL. Be very careful to line it up exactly where you want it to sit before dropping it onto the frame of the phone (you likely will not be able to peel it off and reapply it if you mess up, as the glass is very thin and would probably shatter if you try to remove it).
7. Profit.
That's about it. All in all this took me about 30 minutes from start to finish, and saved me just over $60. Worth it for a cheapskate like me ?
Hope this helps someone.
Excellent write up, and the great photos!
Thanks for posting
Superusefull!! Thank so much!
do you feel like this compromised the water resistance part of the phone?

Hello everyone,
I've broken lil bit the glass and considering replacement. But don't want to lose waterprofness. What do you think about this statement:
"The glass back of the Pixel 2 is purely decorative, and the Pixel 2 will still be waterproof with a broken glass back.
Why? As can be seen in the teardown video at https://youtu.be/Zq7nyzldgr4 at 4:14, the back cover of the Pixel 2 goes underneath the glass. Also, it looks like replacing the glass back would not require a teardown, since there seem to be no screws holding the glass in place from the inside. I suspect the glass back is merely glued on or clipped in."
For me it sounds reasonable that waterprofness might still be there after replacement. Attaching screenshot of mentioned back cover which is going under the glass.
Thanks for your opinion!
Pixel 2 is waterproof
Pixel 2 is IP67 rated meaning it's good for up to a metre depth of water, hence it being waterproof but if anyone was wondering even if you do break the back glass as I have it's purely cosmetic as there is some pretty strong plastic and glue behind it keeping the waterproof feature in place
How do you fix it to be waterproof like factory?
|Use waterproof glue around camera lens and LED lens or is there a adhesive to buy?
