Hi,
I just got a Nexus 7 and my screen have a problem, I think that a dust is trapped behind the glass (see attached image). I'll return it to the support but how long it will take to have a new one?
Thanks!
I've searched these threads and haven't really found what I'm looking for.
A friend has an HTC MT4G and it has a cracked screen. I see there are some YouTube videos showing how to replace the glass/digitizer. Are they not separable?
It looks like this is a very similar process to the replacement of the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen - you heat it up until the glass slides off, clean off the residue, replace the adhesive, hook up the new digitizer and bond the new assembly back on.
Sounds simple enough. But can someone post step by step directions on what needs to be removed from the inside to unhook the ribbon cable? The videos are fine, but I'd prefer to print instructions with photos rather than rewinding and playing the video. My first attempt at replacing just the glass on the Galaxy resulted in utter destruction. I can't afford to do that to a friend's phone.
Is there an LCD/Glass/Bezel combo that is way easier to replace, albiet pricier?
Thanks for any info.
Glass and digitizer are never separable AFAIK.
There is no replacement for glass on Samsung Galaxy series, none of them. The glass+digitizer is inseparable from the AMOLED screen (well, not using home tools), and is sold as a single pack. Nothing to be afraid of - meant to be destroyed upon replacement.
Not so with HTC - digitizer and LCD are separate. But removing the digitizer without damaging the LCD is quite a pain - cracking the LCD is oh-so-simple when bending the thing all ways to separate the digitizer.
I'm not able to post urls yet as I'm a noob here...

You can use a hair dryer to remove the digitizer/glass from the LCD. I had trouble because my glass was shattered.
Hi
in process of replacing digitizer and screen on my 2013 Nexus 7.
The replacement screen I have received has no screen tape on it.
Someone recommended 3M 300LSE tape to secure new screen into bezel and cutting to fit.
Good idea or is there anything more preferable?
Thanks
You might want to ask in the correct forums. This forum is for the 2012 model

oops, thanks.
How can I tell that the screen the third party repair center is using is Gorilla 4?
Where can I buy online genuine screen? And is it true as I read online that since all device parts need to be removed to reach the screen it will be impossible not to have after repair marks or dents?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
virtually impossible to take phone apart without the right tools and damaging the black glass camera lens.
I purchased a screen and rear battery cover (which came with the black glass lens cover and the strip at the bottom on the back. The screen was around €50 and the back cover around €20. Also, you should purchase a screen separator like this: http://www.ebay.fr/itm/LCD-Screen-R...t-Tool-Manual-Sucker-Separator-/141888803105? as it is very difficult to get the screen out.
If you are careful, it is not such a a difficult job, and I would say to ask the seller about whether or not is is Gorilla 4. Personally, I user good glass screen prtoectors, and seeing how breakable the gorilla 4 is, I'm not too worried about ensuring it is 100% original Gorilla 4 - I am am happy with the result: I bought a broken 2 month old Nexus 6p 128GB silver and have fixed it all for about €300.
I got mine properly repaired through Huawei who directed me to an approved repair centre. Paid £130 but it's all official Huawei parts, and I think the repair comes with a warranty.
Edit: I should probably mention that even this official repair scuffed the aluminium and slightly bent the bezel where the guy tried to take the old screen out
Thanks
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.
