Scratches on screen

Is there a way to replace just the top of the glass. I have a few scratches on my screen no cracks but they bug the hell out of me

You can but its extremely expensive as you have to replace the entire lcd/digitizer assembly. You could just buy and replace the digitizer but since its fused to the lcd, you will most likely crack the lcd in the process. So either sell it and get another one if it really bothers you and cant live with the scratches or maybe try putting on a screen protector that might hide the scratches.

Replacing the screen?

Hello,
I dropped my One X the other day and the screen cracked in several places. I ordered an LCD and a new glass for the phone, but all the tutorials seem to stop once the phone gets taken apart. When I get the LCD, do I just put adhesive on the glass, stick it on, and put it back together? Or is there a different procedure I need to do?
Thanks.

LCD and glass should be bonded together, i.e., one unit, already.

When I ordered the LCD off Amazon, it didnt say that it came with glass. It would be great if it did though. If not, I still have an extra glass front. Would small drops of Gorilla Glue be strong enough to keep it adhered to the LCD panel?

Note 2 front glass replacement

Hi guys,
So unfortunately I cracked my Note 2's front screen by accident, and now I'm trying to see if I can replace it.
It's just the front glass, not the actual inner screen.
I just have one question, I found many front glass replacements online on Amazon and ebay, but are those actually Gorilla Glass 2 like the original or that is simply not possible and they are all just "normal" glass?
This seller here:
eby.co.uk/itm/200899972266?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619
Replied to me and said that it is Gorilla Glass because "normal" glass cannot be used.
Other sellers on ebay said that it's normal glass.
I have already ordered this one from Amazon though (hasn't arrived yet):
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A2IAUWS/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Any opinions from people with more experience than me? is it true that there is no "normal" glass actually and it must be Gorilla Glass 2 anyway? or they are all just normal glass because you can't get the original one (unless you get it from another defective unit I guess)?
Cheers

yes it is..
hi mate.. i have thesame problem.. i was so drunk and my note 2 fell off from my hand while txting.. and that stupidity coasts me 30 bucks! i got a front glass replacement from UK (same link u have). i did it on my own and it's been a couple of months now since i've replaced it.. seems like it's gorilla glass since i'm not using any screen protectors and it didn't get any scratches.. but i doubt that it's an OEM.. and one thing by the way.. i've applied it by myself and i tried to use my S-pen.. for some reason it's not working.. so please send me a reply if ur S-pen works after the front glass replacement.. thanks!

Hi, I have just replaced glass on S3. On eBay there are two glasses, one with Samsung name on and one without. I made sure I got one with Samsung name on and the markings on the back are very similar to the one I took off. I suspect therefore it is Samsung original.
Also I stuffed the first time and had to take the new one off again and do it again. I gave it quite a beating doing this, so I think it would have to be gorilla glass ...ordinary glass would have broken for sure.
Some eBay sellers state 'original glass' so I think if the name is on it you are pretty safe.

Can i use glass from GT-N7100 on note2 GT-N7105 is that posable

My first choice to getting any parts is from etradesupply. I've bought a housing from there and it was just like the original. Also you won't find actual OEM parts, however what you will find is parts that are up to OEM quality standards. Just make sure you have a hair dryer or preferably a heat gun before trying to take out the front glass.

Hello,
I have also cracked glas. :crying::crying::crying:
Replacing was not the problem, by heating with support of some videos.
I tried new one on it, but there is no touchfunction, only SPen is working.
The double sided glue tape is only at the outdside area. Is that ok or should
there something between screen and glas ?
Do you have a set of glue tape and glas, where you know it is working good ?
Need your help very soon....many thanks in advance !!!!

digitizer replacement?

so i was debating on getting a case or not so i decided to see how much a replacement digitizer was because with my evo lte i could get one for $16 so i decided screw a case and ill just replace when needed. but when i looked it up for this phone it looks like you can only buy a digitizer with a lcd and its like $240-$320. so is it even possible to get a digitzer by itself? and if so how hard would it be to replace?

Find a for parts galaxy s3 on ebay.. Would likely be cheaper. But idk exact price or the item your talking about.. Blanking out on what you mean by digitizer

The digitizer is the front glass that detects when and where in the screen your touching. In short, the glass you touch whenever you use your phone. And the lcd is the panel that makes all the colors that you see (this is the stupidly expensive part of the screen)

Tuscani1821 sells the full lcd/digitizer for around $130 for the s3. Replacing just the digitizer is next to impossible. Even Samsung doesn't replace them they swap the entire assembly. You can replace the glass lens with alot of patience and about 2hours of repeatedly heating the glass while carefully separating the adhesive from the digitizer. The digitizer itself is fused to the LCD and the glass is fused to the digitizer. Removing the digitizer from the LCD will, without a doubt, destroy the LCD. Removing the glass lens if not done properly will destory the digitizer. If the touch works and lcd works the digitizer isn't damaged just the glass lens is. If the digitizer even has one crack the LCD goes out with it.

Broken glass

Hi,
I dropped my HTC 10 and smashed the glass top layer. The digitiser and lcd screen are still perfect.
I want to try replace the glass myself but I am wondering if I can buy just the glass, the glass and digitiser, or if I have to buy the glass, digitiser and lcd screen in one enclosure.
I looked on ebay and found a screen and digitiser enclosure and messaged the seller asking if it included the glass. He said no.
Can someone point me in the direction of the part(s) I need, please? Whether it's the glass and digitiser, or the full enclosure.
Thanks.
