This is essentially the hardest part to change on the phone, since there is adhesive between the screen and the metal rim back piece. There are videos on youtube that can provide you with the process, but this is typically related with cracked screens due to the fact that to remove the adhesive is a relatively rough task. Parts can be sourced on Ebay for around $20~30.
Do you guys its a good deal to change my broken s3 for a s2 in good condition? I my s3 works perfectly even with the broken screen, I don't notice it when it's turn on ,but i think will be hard to sell it broken here in mexico because i havent seen the glass only for sale. Here people sell the glass and lcd together and its almost 300dls, so what do you think guys?
Also another guys offered me a white motorola razr brand new

You can replace only the glass of you are confident and willing to take the responsibility for potential screen damage.
I cracked my screen, that's the route I'll be taking, it's the cheapest. There's a really good thread in the general section for hire to do it. Also YouTube videos.
Mind you, this is just replacing the glass atop the screen.
Good luck!

hey folks.
My 7 month old son thought it wuld be funny to bang my note against the floor, and the result is a broken screen.
Anyone can tip me of a good video tutorial on how to replace the glass?
Bought a glass for it on ebay but im unsure of the "how to" part

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??

Looking for guides and resources to replace my S III cracked screen.
Too expensive to buy a new phone so I need to know what I am looking at. Price of repolacement parts and skills to do it.
Thnx
is the display cracked or is it just the glass?
a full screen replacement cost around 150$.
a glass replacement cost around 10$.
