Broken glass of my galaxy tab 10.1

Hi XDA,
Mi cousin bought a galaxy tab 10.1, he was happy with it, a week ago he was walking and droped it, the result is a broken front glass, the touch screen is working ok, but is ugly to see the glass broken.
Do you know if it's possible to change the glass where to get it?

Send them to the next Samsung Repair Center or to the shop where you purchased it.

does the lcd still work? Here is a google shopping result for the screen and digitizer (touch interface) : http://www.google.com/#q=galaxy+tab....,cf.osb&fp=d9a0bdb8480db12f&biw=1280&bih=800
You'll also need a smartphone tool kit w/ torx screwdriver and plastic pry tool. They are often sold as iphone or ipod tool kits.

The screen is working perfectly, is the glass that is broken, the touch works perfectly also, but is horrible to see the broken glass, I'll look for a samsung service center in my country and see how much they ask to fix it,

How much it costed u?

Cracked my Nexus 6p screen. Any experience with those who replaced it?

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

Does the digitizer break with the glass?

Hi all,
Prospective 6P owner here. I've a question for those of you that have broken the glass on your 6P.
Regrettably, I've ended up dropping and breaking the last two types of phones I've owned—OnePlus One followed by Moto X Pure. Even more regrettably, both of their displays were designed such that the digitizer breaks with the glass, so broken phone = no more touch input. I think may head my explode if I continue blundering my way around my phone with volume switch control and google now, so I am motivated to purchase a phone that still works when the glass is broken.
Does the 6P fit the bill?
Thanks—

No. When my glass cracked the display wouldn't even turn on. Might be different for others as it wasn't the smallest of impacts

It all depends on impact? Watch youtube drop test video of 6p against iphone, 6p gets smashed touchscreen still works, but it can go either way. I think its the same with all modern smartphones due to the way they are built. If you keep braking your screens just buy a case and tempered glass protector...

It depends on the degree & point of impact
I've dropped the phone several times and only had a cracked screen once. Everytime I dropped it there was a Tempered Glass on it and the Tempered Glass cracked.
The one time I cracked the screen, the phone fell down screen first while I was taking it out of my pocket. So about a 3.5ft drop. This time the point of impact was on the edge of the lower speaker grill. The phone fell on the road with a bit of gravel. I reckon it was a piece of gravel that had the direct impact on the screen. The touchscreen was working perfectly & I used it for a couple of days before I gave it for repairs.
In any case, the service center replaces the entire display panel, even if the screen is working properly.
I'd recommend investing in an insurance. In India, insurance costs INR 3,000 (approx $45) & the screen replacement costs INR 14,380 (approx $212).
All the best!

Digitizer on glass or LCD?

My mother's LG Leon (MetroPCS) dropped the same day I gave her my Oppo Find 7A as a mother's day gift, and the glass is now shattered. I have seen some replacement parts online and many are just the glass alone instead of the entire LCD + glass. Is the digitizer built in on the LCD as Samsung likes to do, or is it located on the glass we touch, as LG has traditionally done?
The glass would be a cheaper alternative as I have no intentions on investing over $10 in it since it had only cost her $30 new.
Thanks in advanced for the input.

[Q] Screen replacement costs for Moto G4 Plus

Hi everyone
My Moto G4 Plus fell down recently and cracked the screen. Any idea on how much the replacement costs for the screen would be?
Thanks in advance

If you're in India, going by the listed price for last year's Moto G 3's listings for ONLY the GLASS screen is about ?1200-1400 on average across most online sellers. However if the damage is more extensive, and you'd need the replace the digitizer as well, most listings suggest about ?2000-2500 which mention LCD+digitizer assembly.
Given moto g4 got launched only a few months ago, you would have it under warranty. At one time Moto had officially offered a one time free replacement for its entire E, G and X range in a few markers, probably two years ago. But not sure if your specific purchase entitles you to damage protection, considering there is no such announcement in Indian market atleast.
Going by my own experience with a broken screen iPhone some years back, I'd suggest getting repair and replacement done through only the manufacturer, the only expense should be the replacement screen, warrant would entitle you to free service. In my case I'd tried saving on Apple's expensive spares and service, and ended up with a dead screen as the generic substitute was not capable of sealing the display as needed.
Here's a really helpful explanation about the three display components found on LCD touchscreen phones from an old iPhone forum, which helped me establish what was actually broken on my iPhone:
The screen is the glass on the front of the iPhone that you touch. It has the opening of the ear speaker at the top, and the opening for the home button at the bottom. It is real glass, is what usually cracks when you drop an iPhone. It looks like the entire front of an iPhone. It is just over half a millimeter (0.6 - 0.7 mm) thick clear glass with the top and bottom areas painted black.
The next layer is a thick layer of adhesive which bonds the front glass to the digitizer.
The digitizer is glass and interprets your finger touch movements so you can use the iPhone. The digitizer is just a bit larger in area than the picture size, you see when you use the iPhone.?*
The third component going in, is the LCD which is the video display screen, this displays the picture you see. The LCD size is nearly the size of the picture you see.
Sent from my Moto G4 Plus using XDA Labs

i enquired a local repair shop. He quoted me @ 40 for display.

in aliexpress you can found the display+digitizer for 50 USD... and there are a lot of tutorials on youtube to change the display...
with the moto G3 it was expensive and hard because the display was stick to the rest of the phone with a lot of glue.... this is not the case with the moto g4
