Hi,
I recently dropped my phone, and now the whole bottom of the screen is shattered, and the bottom half does not register touches anymore. I don't want to spend money on a new phone, and my backup Moto G 2014 can be painfully slow at times. Does anyone have a phone they can sell or give to me with a good condition screen? Thanks!

Well, dropped the phone from the car dock and it hit the dash and the front screen cracked and spidered on the bottom half of the phone and it doesn't work. I tried to contact LG about an estimate on how much it would cost to replace the LCD and digitizer on the phone, but the best they will tell me is that I have to ship it to them on my dime and then wait for them to then tell me how much it will cost to repair the phone. I really don't want to waste my money shipping it if it's going to be something like $200+.
Does anybody have first hand knowledge on how much they charge for a new lcd / digitizer replacement on the Nexus 4 with LG doing it?
Bonus Question: What's the cheapest way to ship it to them, considering I have the original case and taking into account different packaging and shipping carriers?
It's been a while since you posted this, so you probably already took care of it. I just sent mine to LG for a screen replacement and they charged $140. Shipped via Fedex. I sent the phone in the box it came in, but I didn't get the box back.
How is the work they do? I have been thinking of using my warranty and having them replace the screen rather than play the play store lottery. Screen was really yellow when I got it which I didn't care about as it clears. Unfortunately after 2 weeks it cleared but has a slightly visible yellow glue ring on the lower half that gets very visible and manilla color when the phone heats up. I sat the phone down and noticed at can angle that light bends around the ring area... The screen is slightly indented like a car ding.
I absolutely don't want to waste stock and deal with Google sending me a worse phone. I love this one... Everything perfect but the glue ring. Can you guys share your experience having lg repair? I did the same thing with my n10 for screen issues with Samsung and it came back with a worse screen and scratched up on the back. Had to send it right back. Would not like to repeat that experience with LG.
Did they nick up the edges of the soft touch plastic or scuff up your keys or the back glass? How long was the turnaround? Any help is appreciated.

I'm reposting this as a question, so that it gets bumped back to the front page (was sitting on page 6 after just over 1 complete day), and to hopefully get more views and some help. Thanks.

So last week, I accidentally dropped my naked note 3 about 1.5 feet to a concrete sidewalk. Very little visible damage on the outside, but sadly, over the span of about 24hrs, the screen slowly faded to black (starting from the bottom left, where the most ammount of damage is visible, across the screen in a circular pattern), and now the screen appears to be completely dead. During the time in which the screen went black, the digitizer still worked, as I could still get the phone to register spen clicks on even the black areas of the screen (i.e. i could still get air command to pop up). There is also zero damage to the glass itself. No scratches, skuffs, or marks of any type. Looks brand new. And I've already tried getting the warranty to cover this. Its not.
So I'm currently in the market for a replacement screen/digitizer/housing assembly, should the repair centre quote me more than $275 + taxes to fix.
I'm going with a complete housing, because while I'm sure its simply the LCD screen portion that's no longer working, those in themselves cost upwards of $250. And it would require me to seperate the glass from the housing/digitizer, and then reseal them with the new one. I figured it would be much more cost effective to simply buy the whole package pre-assembled for $25 more.
Problem is, you can get different housing part numbers depending on which version of the phone you have (verizon, at&t). So my question is this:
Will it matter if I purchase the cheapest version? As an example, the AT&T black housing is 275, but the Verizon Black housing is 289. The last thing i want to do is fork over the money and find I ordered the wrong part.
I'm from Canada, and sadly our carriers are never recognized in these bloody situations. I'm with Bell, and I'm 'fairly' certain its identical to AT&T, but I wanted peoples opinions from here, as you are by far the most knowledgable about parts/hardware etc.
I'm SO choked at myself for being careless. My phone seemed to be flawless, and didn't exhibit any of the faults other people complained about (screen discoloration, all the functions like multi-window, one-handed operation, etc. not working). And now I've gone and forced open heart surgery on the thing.
I was looking here for the part:
http://www.etradesupply.com/samsung.html
As you can see, they have multiple models listed, and I just need to know if I'm selecting the right one.
(I also think that AT&T is my best choice, because after opening up the phone down to the motherboard and other parts, AT&T is printed all over the place. But I could be reading more into that than I should).
Ok guys I've been a long time lurker here and flashed a million roms from you guys. I need some basic help.
Last night I went out for a smoke and my phone fell out of my pocket. Death! Cracked from the bottom left to the top and a line across the soft keys.
now my question to you guys is. If the screen is still visible but the "touch" functions are non responsive, is it the digitizer thats broken? If so would I run into any problems trying to install a digitizer from a white one to my black one.
tldr; phone fell cracked screen. can see my home screen. no touch response. its the digitizer right?

The LCD/Digitizer Assembly are combined, sorry to say but you have to replace the entire screen. Costs about $100-150 for screen doesn't matter white or black. If you want a shop to repair it $200-250 after taxes. Just don't use Gopermods I shattered my black G2 and they replaced 4 screens because they couldn't do it properly and eventually refunded me with a screen that started working after a while. It costed $239.xx for me. I used the refund for a white one one eBay.
Actually if you don't mind waiting about a month turn around time LG may do it for about a $100-150. They won't give you a quote till they see it.
I was running and i accidentally tugged on my headphones and my phone flew. i had an otter box defender on, and i found a small crack in the top left next to the front facing camera. now the crack is not the problem its the fact that a part of the screen doesn't work, it goes from edge to edge is about 1 cm up and down. does anybody know whats up?
btw i have cyanogenmod running on it and i already tried factory resetting it to no avail

the g2 screen is very fragile the way it was designed has the digitizer wires running around entire screen but the flex cable is in the top right around where the front camera is a single crack will break touch on almost entire screen mainly up to the area where it happened; you should look into a replacement or warranty if you decide to do it yourself make sure to buy lcd+digitizer, I know that replacing only digitizer is cheaper but it's an almost impossible difficult task, I have lots of experience in taking apart electronics and decided to try and replace only digitizer with my g2 in December which ended up in lcd breaking half way through screen dissasembly

well thanks for the reply guess i have to wait another year for my contract to expire since the phones already rooted and warranty wont affect it :/
Hello everyone!
Like the title reads, I dropped my phone facing the screen and landed on a rock!
To make matters worse, I just learned that when switching from the N4 to the LG V20, my insurance protection was taken away from my account.. I'm livid because I only used my insurance twice in 6 years!
Before calling in and giving the poor rep a piece of my mind, I would like to ask here what have anyone done in a similar scenario and how would you go about fixing the phone without insurance, in case I can't get TMO to reinstate it.
The worse part of all of this is that I can't just call and say "my screen is broken" and use the insurance thru TMO.. Yikes!
I did not have (still don't have) a screen protector but want to fix the screen while I wait for an actual protector.
Pretty much, what options exist for my particular case?
Thanks everyone in advance!

Just get a few quotes from repair stores
If it's just a broken outer glass with the lcd functioning properly it should be quite an inexpensive fix ($7 USD + labour)

if the whole screen needs replacing it would be a bit more expensive ($100 USD + labour):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V20-H910-H915-H918-H990-VS995-LCD-Display-Touch-Digitizer-Assembly-Frame-/272424557440?hash=item3f6dc4db80:g:dw8AAOSwB09YPpXM
The thing I've discovered from the past phones that I've repaired is that the digitizer is adhered to the lcd screen and is difficult if not nearly impossible to separate from each other.
The lg V20 is one of the easiest phones to repair. Replacing the entire screen looks to be a simple task.
Nevermind, I looked at the replacement screen and it seems that the front glass is just that and only adhered by the top and bottom. If that is the case then the $7 option is quite possible. I've replaced a similar glass before and it was only slightly difficult cleaning the broken glass off.
You can find out which option is needed with two simple questions.
1) Is your LCD cracked? Just turn it on and you can see if there is any color bleeding.
2) Does your touch screen still work 100%? Click around to find out.
If your in great standing with T-Mobile and relatively polite they may reinstate the insurance for you to use if it wasn't that long ago.
Thankfully in India we have a 6 month one time screen replacement offer by LG which I plan to use this Saturday as from nowhere I see a deep scratch on my front glass however the screen functions fine.
