i have craced glass on my nexus, giditizer and lcd still works
how can i replace glass?
You can't. It's all one piece.
u can
but need some professional tools like heating gun & super glue
and the most important thing you should NEVER touch the lcd (even some dust is fall on the lcd, dont try to remove the dust)
if you touch the lcd, the display color of the lcd will become strange

Hey People,
I had recently brought htc touch hd and simply loved it but i had been putting the same in my pocket without the cover leading to many scratches on the top touch screen. I am looking for a replacement but i really dont know, do i need to change the housing or is it the digitizer or the face plate..i am confused..
With my limited searching skills, if i look for housing, it shows the external body but not sure if its includes the top glass that is scratched. If i look for digitizer, it is the complete touch screen mechanism..does this need to be changed or their is the top glass/film which comes on top of this.. or is it called faceplate.. it would be real helpful if some can give me the link to this top glass/cover or film whatever it is called..
P.S :- My touch screen works absolutely fine and so is the display.

Have you searched on ebay, i always get all my PDA parts there...
As above
i know where to get them but i don't which part is it? Digitizer or Faceplate or Housing?
Hi,
I broke my screen glass and the touch-screen (digitizer?) works just fine, as well as the LCD panel.
I would like to (try to) replace the glass, but I am in a kind of the same dilema as you.
I think the digitizer is touch-receiver + GLASS (not just the thin film).
Can you (or anyone else) confirm this?
Thanks,
cheers,
Nenad

The part you want is the digitizer, that the part you touch with your stylus, the lcd screen sits underneath this, they are glued together and are hard to seperate, buying just the digitizer can lead to many problems, its better to buy an lcd screen and digitizer allready together then just replace the whole thing
I got a cracked screen evo but the touchscreem which perfect but the outside screen is cracked and I hate the way it looks on my evo
What is the difference between PCS Digitizers and LCD Screen????

The digitizer is the part that picks up the touch of the screen for input. The LCD is the actual viewable screen. Is it just the glass that is broken? Is so you can probably just replace the glass unless I'm mistaken. Unless the glass and the LCD are one piece.
--In 1938 I killed a Hobo--
The hobo murderer is right. You most likely have the digitizer cracked, since that's the topmost layer of the phone. If you're lucky and the actual LCD screen under the glass is fine then you can save a pretty decent amount of money by only replacing the digitizer.
Edit: This teardown by ifixit is a great demonstration of how this phone is put together. It should give you a better idea of which parts are broken: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC-Evo-4G-Teardown/2979/1
I have an issue with my Lg G3 LS990 touch screen digitizer glass. The glass popped up from left bottom and can see the light clearly. So, thought of replacing the glass. I saw in aliexpress that Touch screen digitizers are available. So is only glass replacement is possible in G3 ? Display is very fine. I happened to see in youtube videos that only LCD replacement is done but not Glass digitizer replacement. Could anyone clear my doubt? had anyone replaced their only glass and using it without any issues?
You can do it but it's quite difficult and there's a risk of damaging the LCD so if I were you I wouldn't even try as it requires a certain experience repairing cellphones. Your best option so far will be replacing LCD + digitizer which most likely comes as one piece
whole lcd digitizer with frame ain't that expensive at ebay, i had cracked digitizer and fastest and easiest way to fix it was just to replace whole assembly.

Actually i have already ordered the digitizer from aliexpress.com. As they are selling only digitizers, i thought it is possible to eplace only glass. So u mean to say that replacing only glass isnt possible? What are the chances of working if i only replace glass but not whole assembly?

replacing just glass is possible but it requires special tools and it's quite complicated task to do, replacing whole assembly can be done just under 10 minutes with screwdriver.
As far as i know lcd and digitizer are glued together, you need to warm that adhesive to separate those and lcd needs to be glued to new digitizer and in this phase i think you need OCA or LOCA glue and UV lamps or something like that... So at that point of the replacing glass process i tought it would be easier to just by that whole assembly

Is it not possible to replace without LOCA and UV u mentioned? Just normal procedure doesnt works? The seller is sending me all tools and sticker. Didnt they suffecient enough to replace?
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I quess LOCA is liquid and OCA is sticker, same stuff different format. It is possible to do, but without good tools and enough experience i doubt it works or looks good. I have been repairing electronic equipment for years on work but i still wont try to change that digitizer at home because i don't have that kind of tools here...
if you need information about that process look samsung digitizer replace videos from youtube, phone is different but process it self ain't that much different.
I recently shattered the front glass on my Z1C. The display still works, but I get so many random ghost touches that it is unusable. Just wondering if anyone here has replaced the screen digitizer by itself rather than buying the digitizer + LCD screen together. Obviously it would be more difficult, however many posts about replacing both have mentioned the lower quality of the LCD image. Since my LCD still works, it would seem like a better option to use the stock one rather than a cheap knock-off. Not to mention it would be a little bit cheaper (I saw a kit which included glue, UV torch, tools, cleaner, and the digitizer for around $18 US). But on the other hand, with the added complexity comes additional risk that I will screw it up and end up worse off than just living with a duller display.
I’m still on the fence about which way to go here. Quality is subjective, so maybe I’m worrying over nothing and the new LCD would be good enough for me. I’d really appreciate your opinions.
Thanks!
Replace all.
I would suggest you to replace the LCD and digitizer completely. I broke mine in December last year. A small glass crack along the power button side made the top half of the digitizer stopped working. The LCD was fine though. I had to connect a wireless mouse to make a backup, copy some stuffs and use my old phone, while the replacement part came. Bought mine from Witrigs.com for $42 including front housing adhesive and shipping. Repairing was easy. Just heat the front part, lift it carefully. Swap the old part for the new one.
But like you I wanted to separate the glass digitizer from the LCD first. After several attempts removing the glue and the glass, the LCD had burnt spots. Maybe I applied a little too much heat in trying to remove the glass. And the broken glass left some permanent scratch marks on the LCD even after cleaning.
In all, trying to separate the LCD and glass has become very hard since last year. I've been repairing phones and tablets for years, mainly broken LCD or glass or both. From my experience, its better to change the whole part now.
Wish you good luck for the repair. Lets hope your phone lives again!!
same here. its very hard without professional stuff to change the display glass without damaging the touch under it. best way is to buy a new "complete" display module (glass, digitizer, touch) so that u only have to press the felx ribbon to ur phone. then using the glue stripes to fix it (using a hair dryer makes it easier to press it in).
Before the installation test the functionality
Hi there!
Can someone trustfully confirm, that witrigs.com is a good source for parts?
Hello!
My phone fell on the ground and now the display-glass is shattered.
I would like to buy only the display-glass without the display itself and go to a phone shop that they can replace it for idk like 15-20€ maybe.
I think that would be the best, because the display itself isn't broken, and i think its better then to order a 3rd-party-display (concerns about the quality of the screen).
But where can I get that? Can you provide me links please? I can't find anything...
(And if thats not available, can you recommend me a full screen replacement?)
There are plenty of sellers on Aliexpress that supply Mi A1 displays, although all come with the LCD integrated. While replacing the glass separate from the LCD panel was relatively easy in the past, modern fully laminated LCD / Glass stacks are extremely difficult to separate and reattach without damage.
I suggest you replace the display LCD as well, as the glass is laminated to the display and replacing only the digitizer will be a laborious process, often with very low success. You can buy parts from Aliexpress or other websites, and do the replacement yourself, if you feel you are up for it.
