I unfortunately cracked my galaxy nexus screen. I am still able to use touch screen functionality but i hate looking at cracks. Do I have to buy a complete LCD/digitizer combo to replace or can I just get LCD replacement? Any help would be much appreciated.

I would replace the whole combo if I were you. The glass and digitizer is so close welded together it isn't for anyone to separate and change one of those two.
I don't know if the glass is even sold separately?
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
Check out this thread, he managed to only replace the glass. However, I'd say that it's probably more difficult/finicky than replacing the entire assembly.

I have a gnex that the sim card socket broke and won't read my sim. The phone is flawless except for that. I'd be willing to sell it cheap for parts if interested, pm me.

I see some for the epic 4G but not for the e4gt

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.

Man, I looked on ebay. Nobody is selling the housings anymore...that is crazy.
Hello!
I have a light scratch on my new Nexus. I searched for some "easy" home made solutions but nothing. The scratch is really not bad barely noticeable but it is bothering the crap out of me. Now I looked on eBay to see if the screen can be replaced. I found two items that can help. One is the LCD Digitizer (sp?) and the other is the outer screen. I am confused which one to use.
Help.
Thanks

You have to replace the entire screen on the GNex unless you are EXTREMELY good and then you could just replace the digitizer. The whole panel is around $200. I would just put a screen protector on the phone and call it a day.
Thanks. I knew it couldnt be that simple.

Anyone know of a legit place to get a replacement front glass for gnex. My digitizer is fine so I don't need that. I've never done this before, just looking for someone to point me in the right direction.

can you post the pics of the phone
$17.90 for front glass, not bad. I have a surface scratch on mine that has been bugging me, might be cheap enough to be worth the trouble. Has anybody had any experience ordering from that website? Is there any instructions included on how to replace the items or is that something that you just have to find on your own?

Any luck with this? Looking to do the same with my i515 gnex, does anyone happen to know if the glass cutouts for the two versions are the same?
From what I read, its strongly recommend to replace the whole unit(screen, digitizer, and glass) because its a huge pain to get glass off if you are lucky enough to do so.

I know its tricky, but i've done it before(heat is my friend). Once you do it once it actually isn't bad especially because the nexus has the slight lip around the screen which helps you big time with positioning the glass. I'm just confused if the two glass cutouts are the same or not.
So I still have broken glass that is finally starting to fall out whilst the cracks have gotten larger, no thanks to my two year old who loves to throw toys.
Has anyone seen the glass replacement, not the digitizer, last long term?
I'm trying to hold out until October but concerned that I'm going to lose the screen entirely soon.

My phone has EXACTLY the same crack pattern!! And I know how bad it feels.
Is this some design issue with the GNex stress points?
I asked the Samsung Care Center and they asked around $185 for the replacement (glass and digitizer)
That is more than half of the phone cost. :crying:
(Edit: They said as the front glass, the digitizer and the lcd are glued together, it is impossible to get a seperate glass replacement)
Luckily I had a screen guard on so the glass pieces are not falling apart yet.
You can get the glass and ask a trustworthy maintenance guy for helping replace it.
I haven't tried yet. But might try soon. :fingers-crossed:
Can someone tell me the link of the adhesive that you have bought on eBay or amazon??

dont replace just the screen..it can be done but you risk the chance of dust getting between the lcd and glass which will drive you crazy.
get the lcd/digitizer replacement..usually around $150-260 and swap it yourself..i did mine and it was pretty easy
What a an lcd digitizer? Lol, sorry i don't really know much about this yet.

I got my gn2 at best buy and pay 11$ a month for insurance... I'm happy to pay that cause i usually drop my phone every month or so and just take it there and get a loaner phone for bout 3days and then I get a refurbished gn2.. In the last 2years I've dropped, water damage and bricked over 10-12 phones and just gotta wait a few days for a refurbished one
Radio Shack does it for about $80 but you are without the phone for a few days.

Do I need just the top screen and the digitizer? Does anyone know what the part no. on amazon would be. Thanks

Is the digitizer okay? Responds to touch and isn't damaged? If so, then all you'll need is the glass and a lot of patience.

If all you need is the screen, they run about $15 on eBay. I would suggest watching a few youtube videos of the replacement unless you've previously done so.
And that ladies and gentlemen is why cases are available for purchase. Seriously though, you need some sort of protection for an expensive device like the S3 or the S4. Protect your investment and get a case next time to prevent damage from falls.
See tutorial here.

I tried to replace the screen and I broke the digitizer. I got the replaced through insurance but is there any way to retrieve the data from the old phone with the digitizer being broken??? The phone cuts on and when I plug it into the computer it recognizes it as a camera and shows no files. I tried kies but it says I need to unlock the phone which I cant. Any help is appreciated.
I retrieved my data on my old phone by takomg both phones apart trading out the motherboards amd copying tbe old files to my computer. Them I swapped the motherboards back. The whole process took about 30 min.
