I think you will have to call the insurance...
A genuine front panel is quite expensive...

I think you better go to a proper samsung service center.
Edit: I don't think our fone has gorilla glass.
You don't even know anything about your phone and you think you can fix it on your own?

^Approx Rs.2k, but you may also get it for around Rs.1.5k using your bargaining skills.

I think it would be possible.but you would need to remove digitizer without damaging it,then remove upper glass,fit the gorilla glass then put the digitizer back.the upper glass has nothing to do with the digitizer unless they are completely glued together.and it would be really hard,or maybie impossible if you have a gt-i5801,because there are no hard buttons,and touch buttons are in one piece with the glass.

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.

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
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:

Just so you know. it is the easiest glass i have ever replaced on a smart phone..
the screen is pretty scratch resistant lol i had it for 3 months without a screenprotector and 0 scratches, i got a screen protector now and the screen protector is all scratched up
I have had my sg2 for over a year never with a screen protector. Never scratched. Now this one for 2 months and no scratches. Dunno what u guys are doing to scratch it. I am a mechanic and use my phone with greasy and grit on my hands and never a scratch.

Should be able to, screen is the same.
Get a case and screen protector and be careful with your $700+ phone!
I would try to fix it myself with a replacement screen off ebay, and once it's functioning again I would sell the fixed note 2 and buy a new one

I broke my screen also only 2 days after buying it. I took it to a cell phone repair shop and they used an n7100 screen amd also digitizer. (Because they broke my digitizer replacing the glass) 2 days after that my phone just quit working. They refused to fix it because I signed a waiver. So I took it to another shop who said it was the wrong screen that caused the problems and it totally fried my phone. Not sure if they were right or not but I ended up dishing out the $700 for a second time for another new phone. Not sure if you want to chance it.

Guess I got lucky. Bought an Elago case and iSmooth screen protector. Phone fell out of my pocket next day and happily bounced down an entire concrete staircase. The pen fell out and went even further. Case has few dings from concrete. Phone is in perfect condition, so is the pen.

How would I go about finding out what's cracked on my phone? If I'm correct there's a digitizer, touch screen and the glass.
The top is cracked, but how would I go about finding out if the pieces under are cracked without opening the phone?
Just want to double check before buying anything.

If the screen still responds to touch and there aren't any dead pixels, then its just the glass itself. Basically if everything looks and works as it should, then the only thing damaged (in your case) is the glass.

You'd be better off buying the digitizer and LCD pre-fused together to save you the effort of trying to get them apart with a heat gun
