I'm going to be getting the screen replaced but need to order it. I've seen several from different sellers but rather get one based on someone's recommendation.
Dont know if it matters but the screen works perfectly, only problem is that its cracked

I recently replaced just the broken glass screen on my evo. When I turned it on now, the screen is all black now. I hear it still working, I hear SMS and phone calls, but cant see anything. I didnt replace the entire LCD just the clear part. When I was prying the clear screen off, it was sticking to the lcd, which also was cracked. So I got the screen off but the other part came with it. I dont know if it was connected to the LCD and it was broken off or if its ok seperated. Its just the dark looks like tinted glass that goes directly over the LCD and under the clear screen (digitizer). So, can anyone tell me if maybe I damaged the LCD screen.
Thanks in advance.
So before replacing the glass/digitizer, the lcd still worked fine? Based on your description it sounds like the lcd. You may just have a loose ribbon connection...have you tried redoing the ribbons?
I'm about to dive into the same mission. Thinking twice about it now.....
Yes the glass was broken for about 1 month but it still worked fine the LCD was working. I've tried reconnecting the ribbons various times also tried connecting the old glass digitizer, but still the same result. I'm not sure if that tinted screen was part of the LCD and is now broken or if I somehow damaged something else when I was connecting it.

to tell the truth changing just the glass is definitely the cheapest route, but from what I've read is more difficult than buying the whole replacement LCD. I paid $25 on eBay but the whole LCD is closer to like $75.

So you mean it is easier to purchase a digitizer and LCD that still connected as one piece (http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Sprint-HTC-Evo-4G-LCD-p/htc736815.htm) as opposed to doing the digitizer or LCD individually? If I went that route I would just pay a 3rd party cell phone repair shop to do the work for 100 bucks...then you can hold someone else accountable.
I found the LCD here for cheap: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250782149841&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Supposed to arrive tomorrow so I will find out if the lcd is indeed the problem
thanks for that link, I may have to try that.
Hey guys, i read through a couple of threads about cacked screens but im still a little confused. i droped my phone and the bottom half of the screen cracked, i can still use the phone without any problems. so do i need a digitizer or new lcd??
digitizer is the glass part that you touch, lcd is the screen itself. If you can see a full picture, then the lcd is fine.

My friend found one off amazon for like $13-15 I can't remember. I looked it up too and it was about the same. He didn't have any issues replacing the glass either. If you have the insurance you might try a sprint store, or a authorized sprint store. I bought a Epic fro ma coworker and it had a cracked screen, took it to the repair place and they did it for free. (after making the phone my wifes main phone)
I need an advice, my phone just fell out of my palm and it's screen is completely shattered. The touch screen is fully functional but the screen shows orange-ish dots. Is the the LCD or the broken glass just presses it?
Screen repair here costs ~500 bucks, which I ofcourse refuse to pay.
TL;DR:
What should I order to fix it myself , and is it worth it?
(LCD + touch screen? )
Also, if I order the OEM one.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-OE...872?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f1ae6a558
will it be the original LCD2 the HOX has?

ยท 110% Brand New (In the ebay advert)! THAT MADE ME CHUCKLE !!
I would ask the ebayer, not us about the LCD2 screen
And if I was you, I wouldn't even bother going anywhere near repairing it yourself, unless you have experience. They are so complex its unreal.
Good luck !
Another question, when my iPod touch cracked I tried to replace the glass... it didn't turn out well. I only ordered the digitizer , at the end it was attached to the LCD.
Anyone knows if it's the same with the HOX? Really can't afford a 500$ repair now.

yeah they are attached normally, hox, the glass is attached to the screen.
my dhd when smashed, was declared beyond economical repair.
its only really if the screen isn't smashed too badly that you might be able to warm it up enough to loosen the glue, but you'll probably damage the lcd itself in the process. and then you'll probably bugger up re attaching the new glass. even htc buggered it up with the yellow spots etc on lots of the early models
you're better off getting the whole screen with glass. it will be fiddly, but there are a few teardown guides for hox, and if you research this enough, and make sure you have the right tools for the job, it should be fine.
if i was in your situation, i would try it .. but i would make a million % sure that the screen i was buying was a genuine screen.

So I was walking yesterday and managed to drop my phone. While it was in a case, apparently that was enough to essentially shatter the screen. It looks like the digitizer is ok, because I can still use it just fine. I've looked around and I can go 2 routes. Either I can replace the glass which covers the digitizer or I can replace the whole assembly. Obviously the glass screen is cheaper, so I'd like to try that route first.
My first question is: Has anyone actually done this before? Could you give me your thoughts and any gotchas?
Secondly, does anyone know if there is a difference between the glass for a N7100 vs the SPH-L900? The reason why I ask is that there are multiple listings on ebay for the N7100 glass but significantly less for the SPH-900. I wonder if they are different dimensions or maybe have different properties of some sort.
Thanks guys!

Hunt down a true OEM screen.
Get the screen and digitizer oem all in one. Super easy to change. Don't even attempt to replace just the screen. Should set you back <200

Skip the screen and buy a full screen and digitizer. Make sure to buy oem. Doing just the glass will only be money down the drain. Its not worth the money or hassle. Considering the most lukely outcome will either be dust or something behind the glass. As well as damage of the digitizer. I bought a replacement screen and digitizer combo. Didnt even need to watch a video or anything and it was my first install on any phone. Just remember to remove your sd card

Any difference between a sprint and verizon n2? My friend just broke her Vn2 glass and asked if I could fix it......I'm assuming they are roughly the same just thought I'd ask before I accept her challenge.....lol
i replaced just the screen on my Note2. Took about 2 hours but it worked. The new screen isn't as good as the OEM but for $22 vs $200 i can live with it. I do have a slight bubble in my screen that is noticeable only when the phone is off.
I dropped my P600 and broke the digitizer. I read here that it was nearly impossible to replace just the glass, so I bought a replacement screen assembly from etradesupply, where I have had good experiences in the past. However, the quality of the screen is night and day from the original. The original screen was one of the clearest and sharpest I've ever seen. The replacement is muddy and has persistent bright spots throughout. I thought I could live with it, but I'm having a hard as I remember how great the original was.
So far, I can't find anyone who sells an original Pentile screen made by Samsung. Even the ones that claim to OEM are really just OEM-compatible. Anyone have any ideas? My other thought is to look for a broken Note 10.1 and transplant the screen, but most of the broken ones have broken screens!
Any help is appreciated!

The screen is the most expensive item and since it's an old device, I would recommend to buy another used one instead. You could try to sell or use the old one for parts. It will cost you more if you tried to replace just the screen, not mention all the time, labor and headache...
Samsung will install new oem screen for $223 (including shipping). Cheapest oem screen I found was $175. Worth the extra $$ to have someone else install it and get a 90 day warranty, just call the Samsung warranty #. They will arrange the non-warranty repair. I received mine back from Samsung four days after sending it.
