I decided to have my Evo 4G Digitizer replaced locally. The Glass cracked, otherwise the Screen functionality is the same as before regarding sensitivity, responsiveness, etc.
I want to make sure I am getting an OEM replacement, and not a cheap chinese knockoff. I have seen many chinese manufacturers selling Evo 4G Digitizers and other Parts.
I have a Novatec LCD at present.
The shop told me over the phone they have OEM, But I want to be sure when I go there tomorrow. Any help is appreciated............
Btw, the Evo fell on its corner, so part of the Plastic frame is notched (slightly) where the glass fits into and I want to replace the frame also. The reason is that without that section (1/4") of plastic (the lip,) the Glass may be susceptible to damage in the future.
The frame and the glass are 1 piece. Just go direct to sprint and for 30 dollars you will get a new screen. I just did it last month and it took less then an hour for them to install it

I wish it was that easy for me. Every Sprint store I've called told me I have to go through insurance.
But what they will do is replace the screen if you buy one online...but you have to get the lcd and digitizer. You (the op) might wanna do that since a lot of people have a hard time putting the new screen in.

I have seen this one at Amazon with excellent reviews >

The repair store (Not Sprint) wants $130 for the Digitizer and Install. I didn't know the Digitizer comes with the frame/bezel. I have seen them separately.
Correction to above > I see in the pic that the glass/digitizer is already in the frame.
Regarding Sprint Repair, I have read they no longer replace the glass. I called the local Sprint Store that does repair. They said they don't have the parts and that they no longer replace the glass, and that I have to go through Asurion. I may have to call another Sprint Repair shop to inquire.
I didn't know Sprint Repair replaces Digitizers that are Customer bought. I doubt they do that in NY especially, but I may be wrong........
I have a replacement coming from Asurion tomorrow, But figure I can get the Digitizer replaced locally so I can keep my Evo as other than the Glass, it was working perfectly. I don't feel like having issues if the replacement has problems.
I do have TEP obviously,

For what it's worth, $100 can fetch you an evo in like new condition on the right day on craigslist (or IRC for that matter...)..
Sell the broken one for parts & use the difference to buy one if you really want it.
I hear ya.
But I already have a replacement coming from Asurion later today if I want to keep it.
It's all about who you talk to. The first time I went into the store they said they wouldn't replace it. I went in the next week talked to someone else and he did it
I can get my Digitizer replaced for $80 at a Sprint store
But I just picked up my Asurion replacement Evo and it is Brand New with Froyo 2.2 installed.
I'm gonna keep the new one and Root it.
Can I put my old SD card in the New Evo before Rooting the New Evo, or should I put my old SD card in the New Evo after Rooting?
I have the Rooted Gingerbread and a bunch of other stuff on my Old SD card.
UPDATE:
Put my original SD card in my new Evo and Rooted it
Everything working well.............
My top screen is cracked. Everything else like touch screen works fine.
How much will it cost do you know from experience?
Supplied and fitted would cost you more for the screen repair than it would to buy a good condition DHD off Ebay.
Just get a new phone off Ebay.
buy a new screen for about 35$ and repair it yourself.
there are many howtos on youtube
So as the title says, i'm able to get a Gnex for $50 + the repair costs.
my friends dad dropped his Nexus, broke the glass and wants an s3, so he's selling me his nexus for $50. It's only the glass that's cracked, touchscreen and the actual screen itself still works.
I was looking at dissasembly vids, and galaxy nexus repair parts online and found that the screen assembly appears to be a whole.
You can buy that whole assembly for approx. $150. But I also found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Outer-Front...273?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2572820bc9 which appears to be just the glass front that I need. (excuse me if I can't link outside).
Is it possible to separate the front glass panel from the screen?
I build computers and i've repaired my DHD in the past, so I guess I could say that i'm advanced in repairing techniques, but i'm not really comfortable with soldering electronics or anything. Is it just a case of prying the broken glass off and glueing the new glass back on?
As a poor college student, i'd much rather attempt a difficult repair, than going the easy way and paying $150 bucks for a new screen assembly.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

Can't take it apart... they are fused together. Don't make my mistake and buy the lens on eBay. My advice is buying a used LCD digitizer from eBay or it still works fine sell it on eBay and double your money... you could get about 100 on there

Hello ,
Yesterday I managed to drop my Note 2 and crack the front glass of the handset. The screen itself is totally un-damaged.
After looking around on the internet it became quickly apparent that 3rd party repair centre's don't really want to touch the handset. I have called Samsung and they have sent me out a jiffy bag to send the handset back to them to get repaired. Obviously this will not come under manufacturers warrenty and I will be charged for the replacement. Does anyone know how much the front glass (not the screen) cost to replace? I saw someone mentioned around $180 however I live in the UK. Any guide lines on how much I will have to pay to get them to replace the broken glass would be great so I dont get a nasty surprise.
Thanks,
J
Mine dropped from two feet and hairline cracked across the whole screen. I bought the full assembly LCD/digitizer. Did the repair per LE55ONS. AOK now. afterwards, I tried to pry apart the digitizer glass. In my Note II it is bonded with transparent gum covering the entire LCD. No way to replace only the digitizer on my version of the Note II
Mine was $249 USD
LCD screen got scratches, I think while applying Scratch guard, that man has used some different cleaning liquid and that liquid removed the scratch resistance layer, so it exposed the main lcd and got scratches, thats what I think.
And after that, my N5 was dropped in bucket of water. After doing so much of hard work I removed all water with hair dryer. Mobile is working perfectly. But screen got damaged, screen looks wired and some water in it. I waited for 2 weeks but still water is there.
I bought N5 from play store.
I went to the LG service center, they said as you opened up the device warranty is void now. So they told me replacement cost is 7500 rs. for LCD and for LCD + digitizer cost is 8000 rs.
Are they provide warranty with the new screen if its again damaged?
what if the lcd showing some pixel after few days? there are some chances that LCD can be fake or not upto quality of original LCD of N5. Did anyone replaced their N5 LCD?
Anyone still in warranty (India), are LG service center providing replacement with nominal fees or for free?
I want to replace LCD + assembly. Please guide me through this. Should I buy from online store, street store or replace it by Authorized LG Service Center.
Thank You.
