Hey guys, I have a G2 which has a couple of scratches on the screen. I thought that since I was already replacing the housing and spring that I could just replace the screen as well. My question is what do I replace the digitizer or the LCD?
digitizer is the glass on the front so i would say thats what you want to replace, unless the scratches are on the lcd its self witch is very unlikely.
Just had someone bring me a Galaxy Note 2 to repair and they bought the replacement part off ebay. However all they have got is just a front piece of glass with no digitizer attached, is this correct? Normally im used to front screens having the digitizer attached or is it easy to detach from the broken old screen
Is there a guide anywhere for this?
There's a few threads on this around, but as far as I know, you need to use a heat gun to remove the glue on the digitizer.

no way mate. don't bother to anything with that cheapo. glass is always attached to the digitizer. they bought the cheapest thing they found.
i have found over the years that saving some money is not the best choice in comparison to user experience or other arising problems.

this is cheaper than ebay which they ask for 166 pounds
Yeah, heat gun will melt the adhesive enough to separate the lcd. But its a very, very difficult process that will more likely than not end up with a damaged lcd or poor reseal.

mariosraptor is right. Glass is always sold with digitizer (it is one item). I haven't heard about clean glass without capacitive layer. You can buy either digitizer glass or complete digitizer glass with factory glued LCD module. This one's more expensive, but you have less work with replacing.
Anyway: buying only digitizer glass for this kind of phones (Note 2, S3, iPhone 4<, newer HTCs...) is waste of time and nerves. It is nearly impossible to separate LCD from digitizer. Buying complete set of digitizer & LCD is the best what you can do for your phone.
Yeah i didn't think the glass came seperate from the digitizer, i have repaired over 400 iphones and have done about 20 galaxy s2 and s3's and never have i seen just the piece of glass without a digitizer on it, i will tell the woman she needs a whole new screen, i think she did go for the cheapest option
This is actually what she ordered:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Gray-...s=63&clkid=5413496726471672632&_qi=RTM1319883
It obviously doesn't have flex, so it is only pure glass. I don't understand, why would any serious seller offer this kind of items.
Hi everyone,
My SGSII has gone through a lot and I would like to see if I can "refresh it"
I've seen on the web people that sells spare parts for the phone, however I'm not sure what to get because I do believe the phone has like 3 frames.
The screen is perfect, maybe a really small barely noticeable scratch, the middle frame (metallic?) is the one that is really damaged taking drop hits, battery cover might be replaced.
Do I have to get the screen or digitalizer as well? I have seen some procedures and they basically rip apart the digitalizer damaging it for good.
Thank you for your time and help.
Seems you can't change the digitizer without the screen with this AMOLED display type, which is very expensive. Not worth it on an old phone. Slap a bumper case on it!
hello guys! yesterday the inevitable happened, and my phone fell off. since i can't make a photo of it, i'll put another one that looks similar.

my question is, what needs to be replaced now? the whole display or only the glass? cause the whole display is a lot more expensive than the glass, and maybe i can save some money.
thanks!

Looks like just the glass. However, the glass is glued to the LCD, and I believe you need to heat it to soften the glue and pull the glass off (which can also result in breaking the LCD). Then glue the new glass to the LCD. None of which is that easy.
I tend not to be very successful with these types of repairs, and haven't personally tried it. So maybe others can speak more in terms of first-hand experience.
Send it to HTC. It cost me less for HTC to repair than it would have cost for me to buy the parts alone.
They replaced the screen, digitizer, housing, speaker covers, back cover all for £103 including 2 way shipping.
Less than 2 weeks for repair and good as new when it came back.
Hi there everyone,
I bought my Nexus 5X with a cracked screen off eBay when I got it. I lived with it until a side drop cracked it further today, and it's now much more noticeable than before. However, it's just the glass that's cracked - from what I can tell, the LCD and digitizer are completely unscathed. So I thought, hey, it'll be tricky, but I bet I could separate the parts and just use a glass replacement like this. The entire assembly is five times more expensive.
Now, obviously I don't want my daily driver to become a piece of plastic on a shelf. I have access to heat guns and spudgers, but no experience with a repair like this. Has anyone done this? Do you have any advice? Are they three separate layers that I'll be able to clean and readhere? Thanks in advance!
