It's a pretty easy fix and you can buy replacement digitizers on eBay.

Link? Cause I really do not know what to look for

Yes you can, its not that hard with the proper tools, steady hands, and a nice clean place to work.

Good luck and godspeed.

I took my Evo into Sprint because I had some obnoxious dust underneath the screen and they replaced my LCD for the price of 0.

You think they'd do the same cracked?

I'm not sure of their exact policy, but I know that it changed sometime a couple months ago. They used to be very good with replacing cracked screens, and it'd either be free, or just for a minimal 35 bucks. Now I believe that if the crack is bigger than an inch, they won't fix it, and will tell you to send it to Asurion if you have it. I would just call your local Sprint store and ask them what their policies are on having a cracked screen. Or just go down there and see what happens.

I have a replacement LCD and digitizer for sale, all one piece so you don't mess up with just the digitizer which is not that easy

Thas Allota love right there

He said using a t4 driver... I used a t5 when I replaced my speaker.

i know some sprint stores dont even bother fixing screens anymore. they wouldn't fix mine. it was still under warranty so i sent it back to HTC and they had it back to me within 5 days FREE of charge had to unroot my phone and put the stock sprint ruu back on though
if it weren't under warranty, i would definitely do it myself. its easy. just a little know how and the right tools. its surprising how easy these htc phones come apart.
Anyways... Good luck!

please I news to know now cause o bought it

Mine is a 3rd generation and the touch screen or digitizer and the lcd are two separate parts. I recently replaced the touch screen (digitizer) after dropping it. 26.00 Ebay..

Search on Youtube and you can find video tutorials of how to take apart the phone. I tried to do it and it didn't go well for me, but my LCD was also cracked and so was the case, so I literally had to take everything off of my old phone and transfer it to another case assembly. In the process of removing the flex cable antennas, I broke two of them and had to order a replacement. I'm just found the parts I need to fix it yesterday.
If all you have to do is the digitizer, then me personally, I don't think it is too hard. I recommend getting and LCD/digitizer combo to make things easier; even if your LCD is still intact. I only bought the digitizer, and it turned out my LCD was also cracked and had to order it separately.
If you've never done anything like this before, then I also suggest you find a repair shop and let them do it. Buy the parts yourself and pay them for the labor.

ok I bought the digitizer and I guess ill go to a repair shoo and let them do it

I've never had to replace my screen, so I can't offer any specific advice for you. All I know, is that if I were to perform a repair such as that, I would have researched it a lot, bought a pry tool and some other tools for the job, and figured out what type of adhesive to use. Did you try google? Im sure there's a specific type of adhesive that you need to use.

I see some for the epic 4G but not for the e4gt
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

for our specific phone the screen and the digitizer are fused into one which makes it much more difficult/risky to try to change separately. plus u wont find only the screen without the digitizer. I recently replaced my screen too so i can say i have experience.
refer to this if u havent:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Epic-4G-Touch-Teardown/6481/1
look on ebay for cheaper offers, otherwise they end up costing about $150+. i got mine for $65 shipped and it was in pristine condition
use this as a start (make sure its our phone of course):
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...gitizer&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
dont forget to be gentle! i screwed up my original screen bc i was too rough and glass shards got btwn the screen and the digitizer, but i was also trying to separate the screen from the digitizer, which was stupid
good luck!

I have a complete housing I could sell you. Its the black one, like new condition. I am currently using the white housing on my phone, and have two black ones.

I doubt it because lg screens are a bit complicated and ppl are scared to attempt it. However there are how tos on YouTube you can follow. I would go with the link I gave since the two pieces are attached. With the separate piece you might have to loca the glass to the LCD so u don't get an air bubble in the middle or dust in the screen after time. My first time fixing my Note I didn't use no loca since none of the vids instructed to do so. Worst experience ever, thank god I was able to take it apart and redo it.

I have replaced 3 screens on the OG(mine and 2 of my sisters). It is super easy only hard part is getting the glue behind the screen hot enough to take off. Other than that super easy got a phone repair kit from radio shack for like $12. I can tear down and put back together in like 5 minutes now.

The phone kit is the best thing has everything you need.http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13180768&retainProdsInSession=1&znt_campaign=Category_CMS&znt_source=CAT&znt_medium=RSCOM&znt_content=CT2032236 And use a hair drier or heat gun to get the screen off. DO NOT touch the battery if it gets poked or bent out of shape a little it will go bad very quickly. Obviously unplug it from the board but thats it, and its only 2 connections to get the screen off the main board. Everything is pretty easy once you get inside. I watched a video and that was a huge help.

For 80 bucks would you recommend just the digitizer or the bundled glass and digitizer? I'm assuming the two piece together is the better deal and less work correct? Just trying to make it easier for the op lol

Definitely get with the glass. If you get a fingerprint or dust under the whole thing wont work.

Get both. All things being equal, your best bet is to replace both. Since screen and digitizer are so close together on this phone a break like you got probably means both are damaged anyway.

Anyone need any parts?

I bought an LG G2 coming Monday, and if it works out I can part out my SGH-i317. Capactive touch buttons, ribbon cables, etc. I even have the full AMOLED+Digitizer albeit with a few minor scratches (better than paying $200 I think).
It's all free if my new phone works out. The one thing I won't have is replacement front glass.
