Galaxy Note Digitizer

Looking for a Digitizer for my note! I just broke it LCD looks fine and touch screens works perfect. Just need the front glass. But I don't have paypal so I can't buy on ebay!

You can't replace the front glass only. You need to purchase a complete display assembly including the glass, digitizer, AMOLED display, Wacom digitizer, home button and the frame. It costs around 250 dollars.

So all the ebay listing with just the front glass screen are no good? My display and tocuhscreen work perfect.

Yes. You need the complete assembly.

Unless your a pro at removing glue/glass whule being sure not to crack lcd grab just digitizer. And only if you have ultimate patience.
Save yourself a headache a byt complete assembly. Trust me from a guy wasted alot of money on digitizers.

If u know what you are doing it actually isint very hard I would suggest buy the cheapest digitizer around and give it a shot if nothing works out get the whole kit.

I'm thining of buying the digitilizer and take to a mobile shop to have it installed!!

Let me spell it out for you:
You can NOT replace the digitizer/glass only. You need to purchase the complete assembly.

I'm a mobile device service tech too (I actually own the business) and you are correct. You have to replace the entire assembly. It is not possible to separate the screen and digitizer without damage... those people on eBay know full well that you can't and shouldn't be selling them.

Not really since you can buy a complete assembly and replace it.

Agree with the guys before, you cant just buy the glass. Best to get complete assembly

You can if you have the right tools. I broke my digitizer awhile back and bought the digitizer only. Theres actually a thread around here. Only thing I didnt have was some good double sided tape that would have made everything alot easier.
The biggist issue on ebay with digitizer only are they dont come with preinstalled tape already attached. But a heat (blow dryer) and some good plastic(always only plastic) tools its not that difficult.
I had to purchase just the digitizer because when I cracked the screen, the full assembly wasnt available yet. Its not hard, just takes a little patience.
I eventually converted my note into a white version. Picture below is my old lcd with installed digitizer. I would still suggest to buy complete assembly. I have a guy on ebay that sells them pretty cheap and ships fast.
And daddymatt your missing out on some business.

Out of curiosity, how did you break the digitizer? Did it just stop working?
Best of luck fixing your Note!

I have a completely intact Galaxy Note. The only thing that doesn't work is the motherboard. So, you can put your motherboard in this phone, and you would be good to go! I think there are a few videos on youtube about it taking it out and such. It looks really simple to do. I'll sell it to you for $250, if you're interested PM me!

Take a look at http://www.cnn.cn I've bought parts from them before and are reliable.

One x screen quality after replcement.

So my one x screen broke and I had to change the entire LCD plus digitizer.
But, after I took my phone from the repair shop, I realized that the LCD is not dim black like before. It's just Grey like on the sensation that I have...
I called the repair shop and they said it's okay and the quality of the screen is just like before, while I think the complete opposite.
I think it's a cheap fake LCD and that it's not even an LCD 2!! How can I know? :/

take a picture of it?

Probably better to get htc to look at it as they have official parts even if it does cost more. It will probably be a 3rd party lower quality screen.

Sorry but i didn't take a picture of it as i hated it so much
but i found a thread here having the same problem as mine, the picture there is just like the screen i got. and it does the spot on screen as well.
it was a total piece of ****. i payed $150 for it.
Link to thread
btw, my one X is still in pieces because i couldn't find a genuine screen yet.

Cracked Screen.

Hello all,
A few hours back i cracked my note 2's screen as i fell from the stairs.
Can someone tell me the exact price in INR for its replacement? The touch works fine. Thanks :'(
I need to get it done tomorrow.

From what ive researched and I havent done alot... its about £130 for the glass + digitzer...
You cant just replace the glass as the digitzer is glued to the screen.
My advice... claim insurance if you have it covered

well you absolutely can change the screen without the Digitizer. I watched a friend change his cracked screen following a YouTube video.. it costed him 9 $ from aliexpress.. a cheap chinese website

Well, I got mine replaced at a Samsung Service Center in Bangalore, India a fortnight ago. Samsung charged me 6,850 INR (around 115 USD) for it. One thing to remember is that they replace the glass and the digitizer as well.
Call up a service center nearest to you, and check with them if they have the digitizer+glass with them. I was lucky as the one they used on my phone was the last one in their inventory, and they fixed it in 2 hours. If they don't, it takes a day or two for them to get the screen (digitizer and the glass) from Samsung.
I had cracked my old HTC Incredible S's screen too. But Note II's screen seems a lot more fragile than the HTC's, and I never bothered about fixing it myself: it is a difficult thing to get these parts in India, and to get genuine parts in good condtion (the courier/shipping folks are very adept at breaking even an mp3 player's screen!) is almost next to impossible.
Good luck!

Glad you did from Service center ,
It Cos-ted 6,400 for replacing the Glass and Digitizer where in the service center don't have the option to replace only glass they denied to change only glass as only glass was cracked but functionality was perfect so had to change both from BANGALORE SERVICE CENTER.

The service center folks get the complete set (digitizer and the glass) from Samsung when they place an order for a screen. I guess it is Samsung's way of getting a little extra from its customers. And it was the same with HTC as well.

[Q] Broken screen

i recently dropped my phone and the screen broke so im looking to fix it, but im not sure what exactly is broken.
the screen is fully functional and responsive, but it did once glitch out and make a few phantom touches but i assume that because it was right over a crack.
so should i just look to replace the glass screen (this will cost about $10- $25 USD) or should i completly replace the whole screen and lcd that will cost about ($200 - $250 USD) ?

Replace the glass first. IT's MUCH cheaper and worth taking a chance.

If you get legit glass i think it comes with the adhesive. Its not a smear on glue. Its more like a sticker
Sent from your phone. You should be more careful where you leave that thing.

Broken Screen Help Please

I dropped my tablet the other day and the screen cracked. Fortunately it didn't affect the "digitizer" (I think it's called). The whole screen still works. No dark spots and the touch screen still works even where it's cracked.
My question is, dies anybody know a reputable place that fixes this? Or, if I can do it myself, what's a good site where I can buy new glass?
Thanks everyone.
P.S. I just got off the phone with Samsung Parts and they wanted $268.78 for the screen!! That's about more than half the price of buying a brand new one! Or a newer model at that! Hopefully someone out there has a cheaper solution to this. Thanks.

here is 1 for cheaper,you can just look around before you buy one.your probably better off replacing the screen and digitizer cause its hard to take the the glue off,unless you know how to do it.There are also places that fix cracked screens so i would look around your area.
Here are 2 places that sell screens.
