Has anyone replaced this on their note 2? I'm looking to purchase the combo so I don't have to separate the glass from the digitizer and introduce any dust under the screen...I've watched the videos but would like to hear from anyone who has done it . Are there any tips I need or certain things to look for? It seems pretty easy but these guys have probably done it a few times..Does the housing go back together pretty solid?
Thanks.

Quotes from my roommate and things I know on the subject: Should you try to replace the digitizer only (from experience working with the SIII and other AMOLED devices.) Your biggest problem isn't going to be dust, but accidentally damaging the AMOLED. If you have worked with AMOLEDs before or know anything about them, they are extremely thin and therefore quite fragile. My advice is to just replace the assembly. There is a film that goes on the back of the AMOLED. Roommate says he doesn't know what the film does, he thinks it may have something to do with the stylus. It does have a header that attaches to the main board, so be careful. Just know, unless you are in a clean room (and I'm talking professional setting, like you would see in manufacturing) you are going to end up with dust if you decide to replace only the digitizer. Good luck.
I have complete white screens for $190 shipped.
Much easier than just replacing the digi.

i bought the full front assembly w/another spen on ebay for $150 so all i have to do is swap out the front and not have to pry the glass apart from the lcd..It cost more but well worth the piece of mind knowing that all i have to swap is the board and camera..I watched videos of digitizer swaps and i'm not about to even attempt that..

Do the SPRINT digitizers work for VERIZON (N7100) ? If so, I may be interested in purchasing.
I know the stock phones have a Wacom digitizer/ screen made especially for the s-pen. Will these replacement screens work just as good as stock? The whole point of the Note 2 as opposed to other touch screen phones is to have that flawless stylus experience.

Any screen i sell is always a genuine part. They are mostly harvested from donor phones that have had other issues besides screen problems ie charging port problems or bricked devices.

Hoping to hear from people who have dealt with this before. Cracked my screen pretty badly but luckily (relatively...) it still works as far as i know. I don't have insurance and while I'm gonna deal with it for now I'd eventually like to get it replaced, fixed, or upgrade to a new phone. What are ballpark figures for cost considering my contract isn't up for another year and a half and i don't have insurance? What would you do if you were in my situation?

Ultimately i can't blame anything but my own carelessness. Long story short i accidentally crushed it between some heavy metal hinges on a forklift...the gorilla glass didn't stand a chance.

my advice: get it fixed
newalker91 said:
Sprint will not repair the screen, so that's not an option. Replacing the phone would be around $250 cheapest for a used device, $550 for a retail price device. Sending it in to a 3rd party repair company would cost you the $150 for the screen plus hourly labor, making it closer to $200. Factor in shipping cost and you may as well buy a phone.
Replacing the screen is easy. Undo the 6 philips head screws in the back housing, work a thin plastic wedge around the rim and pop the housing off. Undo the two screws on the board, unclip the ribbon cables, reverse the process onto the new screen. Takes about 15 minutes if you haven't done it before.

Sprint won't allow that. If that were the case everybody would be doing that.
If I were you I would buy dude's screen who is posted above this post and after that I would go on YouTube to see if I could find a video on how to assemble or replace the Epic touch's screen. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.
If the Insurance was added the best you could do is process and insurance claim and get a refurbished phone for $100.
Changing out the screen is pretty simple. Just make sure you watch the camera connection at the top and the one at the bottom of the board. Every DIYer seems to miss those two.
It's very unfortunate that our assemblies cost so much, when the iphone assembly is like 40 bucks and to get it installed will run about 90 if you don't do it yourself. Our phone seriously needs cheaper replacement parts.

You can search on Craigslist and eBay for phones with bad esn. And simply make one working out of two.
You can ask on forums for people who bricked their phones beyond returning point and sprint refuses to help them.
But of the guy above gives you a good deal. Take it.

Yes, I went in the day it happened and asked if they could replace it or what my options were. Other than buying a new phone for retail price, they said they couldn't do anything and didn't even do the repairs themselves. They just referred me to World of Wireless (I called them and they were charging $250 for the 'custom order' repair they'd have to do).
Buy a new one off Amazon for $8.00 and install it yourself. It take about a half hour and save a bunch of money

That's pretty good deal when you must replace digitizer. All I see on ebay (at least fro Verizon phones) is $200 minimum. Here you will not only get this thing professionally replaced, but also not have to do it yourself, and end up paying less!!!
I wish I was aware of this option before I went about ordering digitizers on ebay, and to add insult to injury ended up ordering a wrong one
Get one with he home button on it. That means you will get one with the bezel which means much easier install. Just unscrew and replace. Ones without bezel are pretty tedious as you need your old bezel.

I'll be calling samsung tonight to get a quote but for my and future screen breaker's info please answer this:
On ebay you can see pics of the back of the assembly showing i535 or i710 or i9300
is there actually a difference in these? some sellers say that a i9300 lcd will only fit the i9300 not the i535 or i710
is this true or are they all misinformed? i'm sure samsung will say there's a difference but has anyone actually replaced their assembly with a different model?
UPDATE** when i talked to samsung i learned the answer to my question!
the LCD is the same across all platforms, glass too.
the frame however varies. i also read about someone using a different frame than what their carrier used, he had to mickey mouse the whole thing, said he couldnt use his home button, and to use the lock/ power button he had to roll up tape and shove it in... all in all the whole thing was rattley and far from factory.

Wierd why would they need that... huh... anyways i just shipped mine off without a charger, really excited to get it fixed. Only 178$ :good::laugh::cyclops::highfive:
I dropped my phone and dented the frame right below the volume down button. I had a diztronic tpu case and it didn't help.
Anyway can I replace the frame only?
What's a good site to get replacement parts?
Based on some videos that I've seen that take apart the phone it looks like you have to take apart the digitizer and glass... Is this correct?
Honestly Id go to ebay and buy a for parts or repair GS3. You would beable to take out all the insides of that and put yours in. Although make sure your screens in perfect condition as well as the case because the screen is a pain to transfer and the case would be the main purpose of all that. Id be happy that all the components aren't sodered XD
Would any Galaxy s3 frame work it would I need one specific to the Sprint Galaxy S3?

Screen replacement is expensive to get someone else to do it at a shop. Is your digitizer ok? I had dropped my phone and the touch screen worked fine, i just needed a new screen.
If you just need the new screen, you can buy one here, cheapest place I had found but it's in china so shipping takes some time.
http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-epic-4g-touch-d710-spint/
There are guides online that show how to use a heat gun to heat up the edges of the screen to pull out the old one and how to install the new one.
Hope this helps,
Chris

Well, for the most part....
I just completed the white digitizer/glass swap. The flex cable and pinout is identical, and it works just as it should. It was pretty straightforward, and one of the easier glass replacements I've done. For future reference, the Glass is NOT bonded to the LCD... making the swap quite easy. I intended on doing a complete white housing swap, but after closely reviewing the photos I found the white F240 housing has a different pinout for the battery cover charging points. I may still order one and see if I am able to modify.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Enjoy.

One thing worthy of noting... the glass/digitizer did NOT come with double sided adhesive when I ordered it. You'll need it because most of the old adhesive will pull off the the glass that you're replacing.

I actually have a roll of the 3M double sided adhesives that I ordered months back. It comes in handy when you're frequently repairing phones.
zounduser: I appreciate it. As I said before, my intention was to do the full white housing swap. However, they don't currently sell one for the E980. Only for the F240 from the research I have done. Aside from the battery cover pinout, the housings look identical. I will go ahead and order one to see if I am able to modify it to fit.
I will report back with the results.
Alright. I'll order it, and we'll see how it goes! I've repaired a couple of iPhone digitizers and screens along with a couple of Android tablets, but I have yet to modify an android phone. Can you PM me the link to where you bought the faceplate and such?

Template cut digitizer adhesive?
mynamseli said:
One thing worthy of noting... the glass/digitizer did NOT come with double sided adhesive when I ordered it. You'll need it because most of the old adhesive will pull off the the glass that you're replacing.

I just replaced my digitizer and it went fairly smooth, but after a week I'm getting dust intrusion between the glass and LCD. I was very careful to cut the adhesive to fit, but obviously not good enough. Therefore, does anyone know if "template/pre-cut" screen adhesive is available? I've looked on the internet and also called LG, but no luck.
My current plan is to eventually purchase an LCD/Digitizer combo and sell the old LCD and Digitizer, with the dust in it, to a repair shop or whoever needs it. But I'd much rather just get the adhesive if it's available.
Thanks for any help out there.

Is this $33 part a new/used take-off from a phone, new OEM stock, or an aftermarket part?
As to the F240 back, wouldn't there be a cutout for the TV antenna, or is the antenna cutout solely through the phones perimeter frame?

This was a new oem part. As for the F240 housing, that's a very good point. I am not able to find any pictures of the housing that is offered to see if that is the case.
OLLIESSHOP: At this time I do not believe anyone offers the precut adhesive. It seems quite a bit of trouble to sell your lcd/digi combo just to resolve that problem. You could always disassemble, clean lcd and back side of digitizer, reapply adhesive strips making certain there is a solid line all the way across below the speaker. I have no doubt the dust is entering through the speaker hole.

Thank you !!! I believe you're right, since the dust is in the top 1/4 of the screen. I relooked at the pictures I took and it clearly shows I ownly put adhesive in the upper corners, not all the way across ... http://www.feelc.org/LGOptimusGProDigitizerReplacement.pps (2nd page from the end). Thanks again, that really helped.
