Can just the front glass be replaced on an S8+? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

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.

Unfortunately, it's more than just a crack. There's a small hole where some of the glass has fallen out.

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.

guys i used a full screen temp glass and loca glue on mine cracked
came out all right and strengthens the broken section

Busted Outer Glass of LCD

Well I dropped my G1 the other day and it busted the outer glass part. The LCD is fine and it still works perfect. I have looked everywhere,with no luck of finding any parts for them. So I called HTC and they told me 150-250 to replace the glass!! So I was wondering if any one know anyone that does G1 Repair or if anyone know of another phone that has more ava. parts for it with a 3.17" Screen? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Nope, I got AT&T. Was thinking of taking apart the phone and getting the glass measurements and having a custom cut piece of glass.
i believe its a special type of glass
Pretty much stuck buying the glass from HTC on this one ...sorry
PS... it is glass
iphone 3g - Dream lcd
I read that the same screen is in use on the iphone 3g, I doubt its true they probably meant type or sumthin, maybe worth a check...
on the old palm pdas you could replace just the glass if the layer under it isn't damaged, this may no longer be possible with these screens, once the bigtime flashing begins there will be lots of bricks available pretty cheap, maybe you should keep an eye out for somebody who pooched the dev bootloader install then after you convince them they killed it you could buy it maybe for less than the HTC price...
gotta say, that sucks if you were a tmob customer you'd have a few options...

Hello. Don't you think It's weird that it happened to me too today?
I've never had a broke phone since my Nokia 8210.
Well, some idiot had placed out one of those kinds of plastic bands you use to seal packages with, a black one.
It was pitch dark and I fell as the plastic ring got snared around my feet. Obviously my Jabra bt3030 got pushed against the screen and it got severely cracked.
My insurance company seems to be covering the whole phone except a small sum. This was from the phone part, but I got to see if I can get something from the health insurance as I hit my head and scratched my hand (though not likely but I can always try)
The touch seems to work most of the time, though it reacts slowly but some times It's just dead.
This really sucks.
I'm dead serious when I'm talking that there was no way that the band could be seen when walking.

It is glass. But you can not simply cut a piece of glass to the same dimension as the touchscreen is integrated into the glass cover. So yes you will need to get a htc or aftermarket replacement part.
The interesting thing is that the repair cost you quoted is identical to the cost of the copay if you go with the Asurion device insurance T-mo offers. So device insurance would just be a waste of money at $5 a month if you end up with broken glass.
Looks like I will just have to hold onto it until aftermarket parts come out. I busted mine by letting it slip out of my hand while talking on it....then it took a 6ft fall to eventually land face first on concrete.....I didnt even wanna pick it up cause i new it was messed up and if it wasnt I was gonna call HTC and give them props! I have a ava. upgrade from AT&T Maybe get a Iphone until this one gets fixed then sale iphone on ebay for 5x wuts its worth.
The iphone's screen seems to crack pretty nice as well.
I hope changing the glass on the G1 isn't as frustrating as on the Iphone.

Cracked screen replacement with compatible HW from third party --when?
I cracked the LCD of my G1 after about three weeks and have noted that neither PPCTechs nor MobileKangaroo have yet acquired a source for the replacement screen.
My understanding is that HTC currently charges what one thread in another forum (http://www.allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4226) quoted as "a minimum of $238.00" to make this repair.
I expect this repair to be offered soon by third parties for about $150, likely using a non-HTC screen product to replace the damaged one.
Has anyone heard any reports about forthcoming availability of such hardware? If so, then are there any non-HTC services to make the replacement?
yeah im looking for this too...i dropped mine and then proceeded to step on it day two with the phone.

This waht i found out
so have the same issue and this is what I found out
so from my understanding there are 2 part to the lcd the outer glass touch sensor and the inner lcd. if the the screen is just cracked and you can see the image the u have to replace both. attached are the part descriptions fromt he g1 service manual. and below is a link of a site that sells them, but for some reason they sell the touch scrren with the outer bezel making it cost more. i called htc to order just the touch sensor glass but they said the dont sell replacements, they just fix em

I contacted the seller of the screen and he/she told me that It's only the screen. If the G1 cracks It's the digitizer glass that cracks first. Then if you are unlucky the screen cracks as well. I managed to only crack the digitizer glass. The screen beneath is totally fine. Unfortunately removing the glass from the digitizer plastic was very painful and I managed to wreck the flat cable of the digitizer so that's beyond repair. Now I tried to disassemble the whole phone but I got stuck at removing the housing. First I had problems with the Torx bits. I have some Torx bits in my sets but the lowest I got was T8. I had to buy a cellphone bits set with a lot of different types of bits. It had Torx all the way down to T4. The T5 and T6 was what I needed. There are 4 T5 to remove and one T6. I have inserted the sharp plastic between the housing and the top case and released all hooks but it seems the front and back part of the housing of the phone is dead stuck.
You have to open the whole damn phone from the back to get to the inside of the screen. Why the screen housing uses standard Philips is also beyond me. I have lots of bad experience with standard Philips screws. The heads always get bad after a while of screwing. I have yet to have a problem with Torx.

Broken screen .. (only the glass)

I woke up this morning i my screen glass was boken (i dont remember how 'cause i was too dunk ) ..
well, the thing is ... are those replacement screen on ebay like the original, i mean super amoled ???
is there a way to replace only the glass and not the whole screen? anyone know where to buy only the glass?
thanks a lot ...
The replacements are LCD. The reason you have to replace them is because you can't seperate the glass from the OLED. Maybe getting so drunk wasn't worth it?

Im sorry, your wrong. They aren't LCD replacements. They are SAMOLED screens. I just put my replacement in friday. The one i got from ebay was OEM and works and fits perfectly.
Also, getting drunk is ALWAYS worth it.

You're 100% sure they're AMOLED? Whatever the case I don't think breaking a phone is worth it to get super hammed. If you're so inclined to get hammered maybe you should leave your phone at home because having broken your screen just cost you 2-3 bottles of some Grey Goose...

Im 100% certain that the screen i got is SAMOLED. But i still need to find a home button
i have replaced the screen on my galaxy s, the screens advertised on ebay are infact super amoled screens, they are advertised as LCD is just a simple mistake (i remember picking one up around £30). The original screen is attached to the phone with a double side sticky tape! You'll just have to rip it out but when you get to the home button you have to carefully separate the ribbons for the touch sensitive buttons which are attached to the glass. Then its just a matter of sticking everything back in place and jobs a goodin'
There is a guide on youtube on disassembly which is simple, the rest you have to figure out yourself.
thanks for the reply's ...
but i still have one doubt ..
since the front glass covers the whole front of the phone, maybe it's not the same glass of the screen .. could be an aditional glass above the screen .. or not?
im telling this because my screen broke just 2 or 3 millimiters above the menu button and 1 o 2 mm bellow the screen ...
so, maybe i don't have to replace the whole screen system ....
do you know about a case replacement? maybe that could have the front glass ...
i'll post some pictures of my broken screen when i have the chance ...
thanks ...

You will have to replace the whole screen/SAMOLED assembly as they are expoxied together. The SAMOLED is so thin that removing it will ultimately damage it.
It is indeed a very stupid design from Samsung with the screen going all the way down around the home button. It has made the glass very vulnerable there and practically all screen cracks start there.
Does anyone have any idea on where i can get a home button. I dont need the ribbon cable and sensors just the physical peice of plastic that is the button itself. I am realy desprate.

Anyone gone through front glass replacement?

Recently got a GS5 and my mom doesn't have a phone right now so I'm handing my N4 down to her. The front glass is cracked and I wanted to get that fixed before I do. The digitizer and lcd are not broken, just the glass, everything else looks and functions fine. I guess what my question is, if I take it to a repair shop can they just replace the front glass or am I looking at around 100ish to replace it all? I'll be going in and getting quoted but just wanted to see if I got any input from here first, it will likely be a week or so before I take it anywhere due to this damn weather.

The same thing happened with my friends N4. The glass, digitizer and LCD all had to be replaced as they all come as one unit. Cannot get them separately.
Amazon/ebay has parts where you can just order the LCD/Digitizer etc, but then to separate them you have to have a heat gun etc. if you touch any part by mistake you will get finger prints or smudges permanently. So not a good idea unless you are one of those super careful person. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Nexus-4-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
if you are handy, you can order the whole assembly online (amazon) for about 60 bucks or so) http://www.amazon.com/Touch-Screen-...r=8-1&keywords=nexus+4+lcd+screen+replacement
I personally got it replaced in So Flo for about 95 dollars + tax. I have been quoted about 140 at a chain fix up places.

Sure they do. FYI, the "glass" is[ the digitizer. If "everything works", then technically all that needs replacing is the digitizer.
However, digitizer replacement is far from an easy thing to do. Not only does it require some specialist equipment (suction cups, heat gun, glue), you're probably going to screw it up unless you've done it before.

You can buy just the screen assembly off eBay for about $45, which has the digitizer already mated with the LCD. However, this requires removal from the bezel (again, a heat gun is recommended), then gluing the new one back in. For $60 you can get the entire front assembly (hey, brand new phone!), which is the easiest way to go about things. I'd also recommend buying a new battery ($20) and replacing the old, tired one while you've got the phone apart.
It's not all that difficult to do it yourself. You'll need a T5 TORX driver, something thin, sturdy and plastic to pry the phone halves apart (you can buy screen assemblies that come with all these tools), and some patience. Do everything on a fluffy white towel so the little screws don't get lost. The tricky part is the little rubber gasket thingy that goes over the proximity/light sensor module. Most people who have done a screen replacement have found that reassembly screws up the prox sensor, causing it to always read "near" (meaning during a call the screen will stay off and you can't hang up or use the dialer). The common fix is to put the gasket in backwards.
There are a number of threads here, some youtube videos, and a good teardown tutorial on ifixit.com.
I thought the digitizer was what recognized touch input? Either way I don't think I'll be doing any of this work myself, I'll just take it up somewhere for her for the repairs.

It is. It's built into the front panel of glass (which is made up of a bunch of different layers of stuff). Don't ask me how it works, it's all magic to me. But when you break the front glass, yet everything still works, that's the digitizer. If you look up digitizers on eBay you'll see that it's the front glass panel, with a cable and other electronic stuff attatched.
Either way I don't think I'll be doing any of this work myself, I'll just take it up somewhere for her for the repairs.

It's honestly not all that difficult to do yourself. Hell, send me the phone and screen assembly, and I'll do it for free. Seriously. I'll even through in a couple TPU cases I'm not using.
If you do take it somewhere for repairs, make sure you ask what they're doing. Replacing the screen assembly, or replacing the digitizer. For a $100 fee, it could be either. They could buy a $20 digitizer and the remaining $80 is in labor, but it'll take them a lot of time and effort, or it could be a $45/$60 screen assembly that takes far less time and effort to do. Personally, it costing the same, I'd rather have the screen assembly replaced, since replacing only the digitizer can lead to complications. Since it has to be reglued onto the LCD, you might get bubbles, dust/lint, dead spots, and that rainbow affect when you hold it in the light at the right angle.

Oneplus Two Screen replacement

I broke my OPT screen when I dropped the phone. I ordered a replacement screen on ebay and disassembled the OPT using videos I found on the internet. The OPT was relatively easy to take apart.
The replacement screen arrived. When trying to place the replacement screen into the frame, I noticed that it lacks the glue on the edge of the screen to attach to the frame.
Any ideas on how I can attach the replacement screen on to the frame? Is there any glue that I can buy? Or will regular glue like super glue(permanent glue) work? Just don't want to risk damaging the replacement screen.
Any ideas?

Hello all, I went to a local store that repairs phones. I asked to if they would sell double sided tape and offered to pay a nominal fee. They were kind enough to give me a few and at no charge. With this I have put back my phone in working order.

Sorry, have not been on xda in a while. I paid about 25 USD on ebay.
Its pretty easy to replace. Takes a lot of patience.
Since the thread has been revived already, I'll drop in my $0.05 since I just replaced my screen last week
* The assembly/disassembly is fairly easy following video tutorials, it's not even necessary to remove all parts if you're careful with the heat.
* Remember to move the fingerprint sensor, the glued-on touch buttons and the phone speaker cover on top to the new screen.
* As always, you need to be patient when heating and ungluing the old screen from the frame (luckily it's glued only on the borders).
* I got my screen from aliexpress just under $20. Couldn't find any difference between it and the original one.
* As previous posters said, do not use any cyanoacrylate glues (superglue, etc), they leave white stains on the glass.
* I was also surprised by no glue on the frame I didn't have time to order adhesive strips, used a really thin layer of silicone adhesive, worked well and there are no gluing signs.

It certainly looks the same, both internally and running on the phone, compared to my gf's OP2 which still has the original screen.
I bought this one, but I guess all the aliexpress screens are the same
I dropped my phone too sadly. Contacted the local repair centre and they said I do need to replace outer screen and the digitizer. And the process is more than $100 if I convert it.
In Alixpress just about $5 for the outer screen. Do I need to replace both or just the outer screen?

I don't think changing just the glass is a good idea, I think there was video of a guy trying and braking everything. Just like the guy before said buy a screen for $20 and follow a guide. I also broke mine, but ordered a screen + frame for $50 because I thought it would be easier to just move the hardware.

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)

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.
