As you can see my display was broken though it was fall from my pocket and drop distance was only 5-6inch.Only using it 5days.Isn't it pass the 14 different kind of durability test?Now which one should i buy
http://m.ebay.com/itm/192219078911?_mwBanner=1
Or
http://m.ebay.com/itm/252952351101?_mwBanner=1
Will it void my water resistant capabilitie?
& will i view the original color from my display or it will destroy my color experience?
Please help me
I think you will void water resist protection, because the phone is sealed with glue stripes around the corners. Here (Chile) LG offers a program called LG Care and they change the screen for free in the three first months, there's no option to contact LG?
btw you are looking for digitizer, not the entire screen, so i don't think that you will see difference in colors
I think you'll need to change the whole screen (118$ option).
Most, if not all, screens are like this nowadays. You can't separate the screen glass from the actual screen (or it is almost impossible to do so without breaking the screen) so you're only left with the expensive option which, in your case, means changing the whole screen.
I've read a few times now that repair shops in US charge around 150 bucks for LG G6's screen repair and the phone probably keeps water resistance since it's repaired professionally.
If i was you i'd ask around and then decide. If it really is "only" 150 bucks then it's probably a better option than buying a 120 dollar screen and changing it yourself (which can be tricky and you might break something else in the process + i'm pretty sure waterresistance will be gone that way).

The cheap part is front screen glass which is a mistery to me.
In every LG G6 screen repair tutorial or disassembly video i've seen everyone always changes the whole screen so... Idk.
I might be wrong but i really haven't come across any videos or tutorials that show how to separate screen glass from the screen itself for repair.
Any update!
Not any help for the OP, just informative :
The digitizer (which detects touches) is air tight glued to the screen (which gives the content).
Reason: much more immersive experience. That is why the screen seems so close to the surface. If it is seperated, the screen will sit deeper in the phone and will give a depth difference in what you touch to what you see.
Disadvantages : screen replacement can only be done when buying a pre-glued screen. You cannot glue not yourself.
If the screen gets too hot, the glue burns leaving a locally brown circular spot on your screen (common on older phones)

So you suggetest i should buy the expensive one?
If i use glass protector in top of that broken glass will it stop not to damage or enlarge the screen crack more?
At this moment i can't spend that kind of money, and phone glass crack was hard to find.so it's not really bother me.

I'm very certain that you won't be able to buy the parts seperate. The screen will always come with the digitizer pre-glued. I think the price difference is rather in it being an original screen or a third party screen.

Probably. Car glass replacer often use stickers to put on cracks to prevent further cracking while your window is on order. So one can conclude it works the same on smartphones. I would certainly give it a try, they're cheap.

So in a week or two I am going to replace the screen on my T-mo HD2. It's perfectly fine, except that end call button issue, and it's bugging me enough that I want to replace it. After I do that, should I get the screen Ghost Armored? My current screen is almost scratchless after months of use, but in the upcoming months, I'll be traveling to DC then China, so I don't want to risk scratching it up.
SO, my question is..
1. Is the Ghost Armor worth the $25 or however much it is?
2. Is there any good alternatives to Ghost Armor I should know about?
3. Is the HD2's screen scratch resistant enough that I should go without any protection?
Thanks for any advice!
12months without protection & like new.
25bucks no way, can buy digi for that, perhaps a cheap screen protector while travelling! don't like them myself on glass screens ...

I am not sure why the button issue leads to a replacement of an almost scratchless, perfectly working screen? But if I were to get a new screen, $25 for a protector is way too much, personally I use mirrored protectors at about $1 every 3-4 months or so. As far as Gorilla glass claims - mine got scratched, I too thought nothing can touch it.

It's because the ribbon that connects the digitizer is located right underneath the end call button, so too much pressing of that button can lead to the ribbon coming loose. To get to the ribbon you have to take the screen off, and I don't think you can do it without breaking the screen to take it off. If there was another way to fix the button without replacing the screen I'd totally do it, but I haven't found any ways from my searching.
I suggest you try your own disassembly prior to getting the necessary parts and see how everything is positioned.

After reading your first post, that got me thinking that I might not need to do a screen replace after all... I've watched over some HD2 dissassembly videos, and I'm thinking that I might be able to remove the screen, reattach the ribbon so it's firmly in place, and put the screen back... All I'll need is the $3 repair kit from Amazon, saving me the cost of a new digitizer. Also, would screen protectors like this
http://www.amazon.com/EMPIRE-Crysta...GIQA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328106829&sr=8-1
or
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-HD2-Mirror-Screen-Protector/dp/B003GE7FIW/ref=pd_sim_cps_1
This be good? The reviews aren't too bad, and they're way cheaper than Ghost Armor, so I figure there's no harm in it!
I simply love my mirror protectors, they look amazing on and last forever, unless you have a habit of dropping your phone into a bag full of sharp objects. I really replace it every few months because I am a girl and want it to look PERFECT, not because it becomes too scratched or unusable, they barely scratch. You can order the same in clear, of course - same strength and protection, just no mirror.
The only downside to mirror protector is visibility reduced even further in bright sunlight. You might want to try both and see which one you prefer, they are cheap, well, $25 will buy you a whole lot of any type.
Stay away from matte protector finish, I found them to not only be rubbish and feel funny to touch, the colors of the screen looked muted and washed out.
Everybody comments on my mirror protector, haha, they think it's some kind of cool new-age screen technology - fancy looking LCD
Do you have a link to the mirror protector you have? I've been looking at some and they seem pretty nice, but I haven't found any on Amazon yet that have good reviews. Thank you for your help by the way
Hi,
First i am sorry if there is already a topic like this one but i was unable to find it. Feel free to just point at it and be approprately mean with me.
My N4 fell on the back and the touchscreen does not respond correctly anymore (a 2cm high band in the middle is unresponsive, jsut where i should validate my pin code). I would like to know if you know fair prices, high quality screen replacements. The original part from LG is 120 EUR according to my local retailer, but i see replacements on amazon and ebay around 50 eur. I know i could replace the touchscreen only but it seems very risky, so i'd prefer to replace the whole screen instead.
Thanks !

The two ebay screens I've ordered were both blems with air bubbles trapped in the film. They worked though. I've got pictures of them somewhere.
So I just bought and installed this one a week ago:
etradesupply dot com/oem-lg-nexus-4-e960-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-with-front-housing.html
And it was worth every penny. My digitizer had cracked in the bottom corner, but was fully functional. What I didn't realize was how scratched up the glass was and how much the oleophobic coating had worn off. The new screen, digitizer, and frame from etradesupply was perfect. No bubbles, the glass was curved on the sides, and it is just as responsive as the stock screen. I was really worried about it not being up to OEM standard. The installation was very easy. I have read some replacements not having a filter over the LED and light bleeds out, but this one has the filter. 5 stars, would buy again. I did alot of research before hand, and have heard many horror stories of Ebay replacements, but this one really worked out well.
Hey,
can you recommend any screen replacement part from aliexpress?
They are very cheap, but I am afraid, that they will also suck for just 35$ for example.
Any experience here?
My exact model is D802.
I haven't replaced a screen on the g2 or g3, but have on several other tabs and phones, and suggest you find one that is the entire screen assy LCD+digitizer+midframe bezel, it is so much easier and faster then trying to heat up the double sided tape enough to remove the three parts from each other. May add more to the price, but not as much as a replacement replacement screen. Trust me, I know it will lol

Then all the more reason to get the assembly, as wyrdtrtl pointed out, it's easier.
Not a big price difference either, just $20 more dollars and saves you time, effort and anxiety (separating the layers is not for faint of heart)
here's the assembly for $54.99
I think I did not make myself clear, I am already searching for an assembly @TechShui
But the product you linked is not original hardware, is it?
Do you know, If I will notice any difference to the original one? And is there really no "LG" Logo on the front?
Just asking, in case I ever want so sell the phone..
There's an LG logo on the front. I have purchased parts from them and know this for a fact.
For me, there was no discernible difference between the new screen and the OEM screen. I just had to move over some buttons and a sensor.

Hey guys. I recently broke my LG V20 (AT&T varient.) It is just the top screen and not tbe LCD Digitizer. The 2nd screen is completly fine and its the main screen that's broken. Does anybody know a good tutorial and a good source to get tbe part ASAP?
Thanks in advanced.

As someone else said,youtube.
In the amount of time waiting for a reply, you could have just Googled the question.
And, the second screen, I do believe, is a single physical screen, partitioned by software. If one is trashed, both are I believe.
Thank you. I understand Youtube and Google. The problem with that is there are only like 3 videos, and each video the process is slightly different. When I try and search for the part, I find the glass/LCD digitizer ranging in price from $100-130. This is fine but the problem is I don't want to wait a few weeks to receive it, since all of the places I've found that sell it can't do expedited shipping, and if they do, they are all sold out. Lastly, I also found JUST the top layer of glass (no not a tempered glass protector, the actuall replacement) for only around $10-$20 in price, but there are ZERO videos on Youtube for that process, and a few people in the comments have even asked about this, with no luck.
A combo of multiple things....
This is a relatively new phone. Won't be lots of how tos available for one.
Second, what you are asking about is not a simple fix.
It requires either extreme cold such as, liquid nitrogen or 90% alcohol and dry ice cold. Or extreme heat. You either embrittle the glue with cold and peel it off in pieces or soften via heat and pull it loose in pieces. You run risk of killing your digitizer. Plan ahead accordingly.
You also *will* kill the polarizing layer in between digitizer and glass. Be prepared to replace this as well. Anyone who says otherwise is fibbing, IMO.
Then, you need something to remove the bubbles from the LOCA glue and gorilla glass sandwich.
Then reassemble.
Again: with the phones age, and a small supply chain in place due to the devices age, don't expect much in the way of how tos, or parts.
tl;dr
Not a simple fix. Chances are high you wont get it back to stock without a good technique and some moderately expensive tools.
Edited to add... There's a reason you find very few glass sellers, and lots of people selling digitizer/glass combos. .. The odds of a ****ed job are sky high, esp with phones with curved glass, like Samsung garbage.
On my V10 my front screen had cracked. Rather than try to replace just the digitizer I bought a dead V10 on eBay and replaced the full screen housing from that phone with my motherboard. Much easier to replace full screen assembly if you can find that way.

Fixez - LG V20 Screen with Frame
Just thought I would "help" other LG V20 owners; but I just finished replacing the screen on mine after dropping it on the concrete floor in the parking garage at work. It actually landed face down and I had a crappy Incipio case, so it was a spiderweb of cracks although it still ran fine for 3 months until the lines got thicker and thicker.
Anyway, I ordered a replacement Screen with Frame from Fixez.com and just know that it is NOT OEM or even close. I got my phone working; but just some notes for anyone else who finds this and tries to replace the screen themselves.
Most YouTube videos out there are NOT accurate and you will end up having to "move" extra parts they do not show.
I got the FRAME replacement; but I think it would have been BETTER without because all the tiny pieces are GLUED onto the frame.
You MUST have the tools, especially that tweezer one and get a Hair Dryer, because the parts are TINY and GLUED so easier to loosen.
I broke the Headphone Jack, because the connectors are basically membranes, which is why I think you should just replace SCREEN.
I forgot to clean my front facing camera; but I cleaned the two rears ones, so just make sure you "alcohol and air spray" clean before closing.
It is beyond blurry and I do not want to take it apart; but it could actually be the "low quality" peephole, which is creating "flare and blur".
Once I finished and turned it on, I was overjoyed; but after a week I can "see" more problems and just be aware that you really need OEM.
Problems:
Secondary Screen does not "show" when Main Screen is OFF; but it worked with original screen once option enabled.The top part is not white-white; but just a "hair off" and it is like an "oval thumb circle" and might have been "touched" during manufacture.Put some Arctic Silver CPU compound; because this "knock off" runs HOTTER and the first few boots felt like a "burn in" sequence.There is no LG Logo at the bottom of the screen; so if you decide to "sell" it later, then it will be obvious that you are selling "refurbished".The battery seems to drain faster; but I also noticed it does not "like" a FULL charge and runs nice and cold when lower battery charge.Headphone jack broken. Does not light up when I look at screen. Sometimes "double tap" (KNOCKON) does not work correctly.Sometimes I have to press Power Button twice to turn on screen. Sometimes it is once. Basically "sensors or integration" seem to have issues.I just miss how the "little things" used to work perfectly, even when it was cracked.
Basically, this screen feels like a cheap Chinese "knock off"; but I went for the "cheapest option" I found out there and you get what you pay for, so it works, but I hope this helps someone else out there to make an informed decision. Remember, Fixez (and ALL OTHERS) have a NO RETURN policy; because basically they state that it must be in NEW RESELLABLE condition and you are going to be sticking things, bending wires and removing plastic tabs. So do not listen to anyone and these repair shops will NOT return your money once you try to DIY.
If I had to do it again, then I would have spent more time looking for a screen with the LG Logo and at least try to get something with some OEM "guarantee or promise"; which Fixez NEVER made and I just went for Low Price and USA Based. Might have been better to get something OEM from Asia; because I got ganked anyway and I suspect this screen is going to shorten the lifespan of what was a beautiful LG V20 - H918 from T-Mobile.
:crying:
Does anyone know how to find a decent quality replacement of the glass and digitizer? I'll certainly keep the ease of 'no frame' in mind. I would like an oem product for sure. But I want my phone back asap, so I'll take what I can get
Please see the attached photo.
I have asked various local places for repair costs for it.
They are telling me they would need to replace the body, front panel and back panel, costing £230-£260 total.
Are they correct?

If u have broken the front glass, it means you need the OLED replacement. Only the front panel. should be changed.
However, £250 seems reasonable, as for my S8 they asked for 85 omr. (i.e. £200).
Take my advise its not worth replacing with that much cost. Your screen seems fine with just minor crack. Just put a SOFT protection screen (NOT the tempered one). After few days you will just start to ignore the crack. I have managed to use my S8 with broken screen for over a year now.

That's the thing with OLED display, its a curse.
See mine, i have it just below Bixby button.
Just try a Soft TPU screen film for few days and see if you get used to it, just as I did. You can get a good one for 5-10$ on Amazon.
