The phone glass its broken, and the lcd and touch its perfect, so... I want change the glass, but, I have to change the glass with the touch, or I can change the only glass?
Thanks! and sorry for my bad english
A glass only repair is really really hard and you will probably break the screen. You should watch alot videos what to do and what not to do when replacing a glass. If you want to do a glass repair, you would better have money for the glass and the lcd+glass combo, cuz if you break the lcd, your phone will be.. unusable. a lcd+glass repair is so easy, u just put the whole thing on the phone (but before that put some really sticky doublesided tape) put the connector and thats it.
just a recommendation, get a case and a glass screen protector, i have a shockproof case and a regular glass protector

Hi, has anyone disassembled omnia 7 screen before? May I know whether the glass and lcd are glued together and whether it is difficult to pry open the screen? (I have pried an ipod touch screen before)
*I just broke my omnia glass and thinking of getting a replacement from ebay but the lcd and glass package is too expensive (>$100) while the glass only is below $20 so I was thicking of getting the glass only.
Thanks
First of all, how the hell did you manage that - it's Gorilla Glass!
There is a tear down of the phone here
Quite complicated and delicate process unless you are familiar with doing this kind of thing.
As for the glass being connected to the digitizer, yes I think they will be stuck together with some sort of glue resin. Probably not the best idea to prise away and try and fit yourself, I suspect you'll be disappointed with a homemade attempt to stick a new pane of glass on.
I actually couldn't find the glass-only on eBay, I could only find the £80+ glass and digitizer items.
Claim it on household insurance, send it back to Samsung or save up the £80?
Hey guys! Alright, so, a clumsy fashion student knocked my Nexus off the table while it was charging in class, but I was quick enough to somewhat save it by stopping the initial impact of the cement floor by lightly "kicking" my phone with my shoe, so instead of smashing to the ground it instead slid across the floor face down (but not too violently). There's no serious damage at all, the sides, corners, and back are all scratch-free, but there are a few scratches on the front screen that I can notice (might be a bit OCD, who knows).
So I looked around for replacement glass and found these. Now, would this be want I would want to get if I wanted to replace the front to get rid of the scratches? Also, if anyone could recommend a good and not too expensive brand for screen protectors, that'd be wonderful as well.
Thank you, guys!
You probably want to go to ebay instead and get the digitizer replacement so it come with both the glass and the digitizer, otherwise the one you linked won't have any touch ability.
Replacing the glass/digitizer is not an easy process, but you can check out this youtube video: the glass/digitizer is glued onto the LCD, so you need to heat it up, seperate it while not damaging the lcd, clean the glue, then replace the glass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paRc_n4uB8s
You can try XtremeGuard which is a wet applied screen protector and its pretty cheap. If the scratch is small enough it will be hidden by it: http://www.amazon.com/GOOGLE-NEXUS-XtremeGUARD©-Screen-Protector/dp/B00AA281D6/
Skinomi is another brand. I like XtremeGuard more than Skinomi because I can trim it easily with a paper cutter while keeping the edge straight and its easier to install, but Skinomi material is better quality, thicker, and smoother feel.
You can also get tempered glass screen protector which is more expensive, but easier to install. I had an iloome version, but it cracked in half when I tried to peel it off to readjust it.
Right now I'm using XtremeGuard and this bumper: http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-E960-Bumper-Case/dp/B00B199960/ These are cheapest alternatives, but I like it best so far.
Dear XDA,
I have a note 3 with a cracked screen. The LDC works, but the digitizer is cracked. Now I know that there is a digitizer and an LCD and those are two different things, but now I see that there is something like glass. There is no connection from the glass to the screen, only the crystal UV glue holds it in place. Is it a digitizer with different technology? I do not want to remove the broken glass, put the glue, put the new glass, and then get no touch.
A quick answer will be very helpful, thank you!
(if the digitizer really is the glass, how does it transmit the touch senses to the phone without any connectors?)
My understanding is that the glass on top of the LCD is tantamount to a glass screen protector. If you removed the glass and touched the screen directly, it would respond to finger touches because the digitizer resides beneath the LCD.
I've looked everywhere and can't find the answer.. does this
Tablet have a glass or plastic screen?
I'm asking so I know how scratch resistant it is and if
I need a screen protector.. thanks in advance!
I can't be certain, but the screen certainly feels like it's plastic. While it doesn't seem to scratch that easily, it sure is a fingerprint magnet…
I think that it is glass because its screen allows you to use it and not to leave any scratches on it. Moreover, my Nook has fallen down on the asphalt once, and when I took it up I didn't see any cracks. that means you don't even need to buy a protective glass.
Hi everyone !
I dropped my Samsung S10+ last weekend and the front glass broken, but the screen are working fine.
I know that this kind of damage are not covered by Samsung warranty, so I checked with some local repair shop.
No one seem to replace just the glass, their replace the screen and the glass together, this mean, a expensive reparation cost.
I asked them why their don't replace only the glass, but I only receive anwser like 'We don't replace glass, we change the screen who come with the glass"
Do you know why their won't replace the glass only ?
I seen on Amazon some front glass at only 40$ CAD with tool, UV adhesive and lamp. I confortable to do it myself. I watched some videos, but seem that everyone dissasemble the phone completly to change the glass on the screen.
Why not just removing the glass directly ?
Thank you for your anwser !
I think it is because the oled panels in this phones are so thin that separating the front glass from them would break them.
