Touch problem

Hi guys.
I own a galaxy i9505 when i touch the upper left corner the touch stops working but if i press the corners of the screen slightly inside it works again or if i lock & unlock the phone.
Is my digitizer damaged or the glass?
I also encountered some dust building up inside after my phone felt on the ground.
And also.
Is there any easy way to remove all components from the housing and put them inside a new one because my housing is damaged.
Thanks.

I'd say it is a hardware because applying pressure gets the area to respond.

So you think its the glass?

It could be just the glass but I don't think so because, unlike some phones, the glass is just a glass cover on this Samsung phone with the digitizer is below the lcd.

Adhesive glue loosing grip of digitizer

I have had this note 3 for several months without any problems until I realized that now i can see the glue literally on the digitizer at the top corners of the screen .That part of the screen still works but I was wondering if I could use a heat gun to fix this problem. Please help:crying:

I would not use a heat gun as too much heat may damage the screen. Heating the glue may also cause the glue to spread even more.
I recommend taking it a cell rapair shop and have them assess the problem and give you an estimate. I think the glass will have to be removed and replaced with new glass.

Thanks for the advice. Even though it's a small problem it's costly in the United States which could buy me another note 3. I guess I'll just live with it and buy a privacy screen protector so that it can hide it

damaged front glass / screen

Damaged my front glass display. No bleeds or dead pixels and digitiser fully responsive.
Can the glass be replaced alone?
Been to several local repairers and they saying glass display and digitiser comes as one unit and needs to replace all which comes to about 50% cost of phone. (Would written off if it was a car).
Seen some online vids using dry ice to remove the glass then reglue a new one followed by UV light to fix glue. (Sounds like dental work).
Any experiance on this?

This was possible on earlier phones even if they have digitizer and glass together, but you would need special equipment to do this, and it was a dangerous process where the chance of damaging the whole display was huge... On the Edge phone I do not see how it would be possible, because on flat screens you needed to take a wire and put it between the glass/digitizer and be careful by removing. After that you have to glue it again with UV glue.
The special point here is that with the edge screen the chance of breaking it totally is for sure more than 90%. Also as I have heard it is not even possible to remove the display on the s7 Edge without braking it. So if you need to replace just the home button, it leads also to screen replacement.

above link is proof of concept... it can be done... also several professionals in the US offer this service. I was just a bit bamboozled why its not being offered by anyone locally.

Replace outer frame glass screen

Hi all,
My v20 h990 outer frame glass are broken.
It's berley seen but the whole screen is broken.
The good new it that the phone acts fine no dead areas so digitizer are in perfect shape.
My question is if i can replace the outer glass screen without screw the whole phone up?
In fixit and youtube videos i can see that thay taking the whole phone down to parts but it involves replacing the digitizer.
I order the part without the digitizer now the only question is if I can heat up the outer frame and replace the part without screw the whole thing up.
Thanks

Bump...

Have you learned how to replace glass alone. I have same issue but all videos show digitizer and glass together.

Could you post a link showing what part you have?

Got same issue have you able to replace the outer glass?

S8 bent, screen shattered?!

Hi there,
my S8 is slightly bent due to a crash with my bike. The screen is shattered, the digitizer and the glass are broken, too.
Now's my question: does the S8 have a separate frame in which the screen/glass-set is placed or is this frame (seen as the aluminum sides on the outside) part of the screen/glass-set which will be replaced by the repair shop?
I'm asking so I'll know if the bend-problem will be fixed with the screen/glass-replacement or if they'll try to charge more for it.
thank you!

aluminum frame isn't part of screen dont worry

You can change just the screen, or some screens will come with the frame, but the latter requires you to transfer all of the components. Have a look on ifixit, search Galaxy S8 screen replacement on google and read the ifixit guide:
Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken display on your Samsung Galaxy S8.
Note: This guide instructs you to replace only the display while leaving the original frame, logic board, and battery in place. However, some replacement screens for this phone come pre-installed in a new frame (a.k.a. chassis), which requires a very different procedure—transplanting your phone's internals and installing a new battery. Make sure you have the correct part before starting this guide.
This guide involves removing the rear glass cover, you will need replacement adhesive to reattach the back cover to the phone. If your replacement screen does not come with adhesive, you will need to use tape to secure it as well.
If the frame is damaged or bent, it's important to replace it, or else the new screen may not mount correctly and can suffer damage from uneven pressure.
The process of separating the display from the frame usually destroys the display, so don't follow this guide unless you intend to replace the display.
