[Q] cracked screen!? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dropped my dinc yesterday cracked the screen something bad. Replacement phone is on the was but in the meantime I keep getting pieces of screen in my fingers. Is there any logic/way to remove the glass screen? or am i just stuck not to sure how the touch screen operates. Any ideas???

Try putting a screen protector on it. The glass is the digitizer that registers your touch input.

[Q] HTC 7 Mozart Touch Screen

I have recently bought a HTC mozart. I recently broke the glass of the touch screen. The touch screen still works and everythings alright except for the glass. Ive seen replacement screens on ebay. Does anyone know how to change the touch screen on the mozart? thx
That is not good news, I cracked the screen on my HD2 and I had to send it away to get replaced. With the HD2 it is a tough job as the lcd and the glass are attached and it is difficult to change glass only. I replaced glass and lcd.
Unfortunately I was not much help, but I feel your pain.
Good luck..

Glass cracked on my epic

the outer glass on brother's epic is cracked...if i was to remove the outer glass for him, will the screen still work...just wondering if anyone had any experience with that...Everything on the phone currently works but he doesn't want to deal with a cracked screen while messing with his phone.
Does he have TEP? Insurance would cover it I'm sure. I would suggest not to open it and attempt to fix it.

this will NOT work.. The whole screen needs to be replace..
If you have no outer glass you will not be able to use the touch screen feature... so that will blow, and the display screen below the touch sensitive glass is probably very sensitive and will most likely break if you touch it and mess with it, so my advice is don't mess with it man

After Go-Karting, my screen is wonky!

I had my phone in my pocket while go-karting. After that, my phone has splotches on the screen that is blue when the rest of the screen is white, and red when the rest of the screen is black.
why?
Need a new screen. http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-general-discussion/41417-dropped-my-x.html

I was afraid of that. But thx for the link! I was just wondering, what is a digitizer and how do I know if mine is broken?
The digitizer is a thin layer that detects your touch. That is usually together with the glass. So if you have cracked glass then you will have a cracked digitizer as well (usually). And replacing the LCD isn't that difficult. So basically if you can still select stuff on the screen your digitizer is fine.
Thx for the explanation. There are no cracks or anything, just discoloration.
I guess my digitizer works fine. It's just my AMOLED or lcd or w.e screen is crapping out.
Where can I buy a new screen?

I got mine on eBay, for I think about $40. If you want it to come faster make sure you buy from Canadia or the US. It takes a while to get here from Hong Kong.

Digitizer or LCD problem?

I definitely ask too many questions...
But this one is important. Lol My dinc2 has been having screen issues since I replaced the LCD the first time. I made sure to take it apart carefully. The first time, however, I didn't readhesive the screen. The second time I had to replace the LCD, I did use adhesive. The problem is, part of the screen on the top doesn't work at all. I can see it. But it's like an invisible strip is there and I can't get it to recognize my touch. Is it a digitizer problem? Or did I just not put enough adhesive on?

Broke my OG screen

Hi everyone!
My Optimus G fell off the table, and apparently it hit the floor with the right top edge of the phone, so that's where the screen is slightly cracked. The worst part is that the touch screen is now only working from the middle to the bottom of the screen. No touch screen upwards.
I know that there must be something broken inside but what's up with the touch screen? Does any one knows how it works?
If I had to replace the screen, can I do it myself with the proper tools? Is it expensive?
You broke your digitalizer man the entire screens gotta be replaced just take it somwhere
