Hi all,
I have cracked the glass on my Marble White Note 2 and was wondering if I could replace this with a Titanium Gray Note 2 screen?
I can only find Titanium Gray to purchase in the UK.

Technically it will work. If you're fine with having a gray screen and a white back cover, go ahead and do it! Will the screen replacement come with a home button? You have to replace that too if you're coming from a white phone.
Replacing the screen is no easy task. If you're replacing the entire assembly, including the LCD, it's much simpler; but just the lens? It's laminated to the digitizer layer, the touch layer, and the LCD itself. You've very little chance of doing a quality replacement.
I broke my screen a couple of weeks ago. Very upset over it so I've looked into exactly what you're doing. I've settled for just putting a film protector over it and living with it for now.
Thank you both for replying and it is the whole lcd unit I will be replacing, and was unsure incase the white lcd was different to the gray and I can only get gray from a shop nearby.
And sorry to hear you have broken yours too, mine is very noticeable, but I use a flip cover so I don't have to look at it all the time

All the Best for your screen replacement ...:good:

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.
got the white housing for the gnex and decide to buy the white matte screen protector
http://www.chinagadgetland.com/middle-cover-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250-white-p-10006362.html
housing from chinabudgetland.com cost $29.50. Everything was great and was easy to install. Only con is that it doesn't come with white button. But i manage to get a huge discount from the owner and ended up paying only $17.50 for the housing and shipping with tracking number. Came in every nice packing and lots of bubble wrap.

the Gnex color screen protector cost $8.88 with free shipping took only 8 day to ship from south korea. Seller sold 35 so i taught it was a trusted seller. Everything was great except the fact that it abit smaller that the screen. But it look pretty nice.

lolwut? of course Jelly Bean has LED notification, I'm using it.
If only there was a way of making sure that the LED shines through the screen protector I'd buy it.
Mine jb doesn't have notification light. I got the paid lightflow app and it doesn't turn on when there a notification. Just holepunch it

But that would defeat the purpose of a all white front face

They sell them for the Nexus? Link ? I'm tempted at the thought of an all white phone.

I won't even lie, I'm jelly. Sexy phone man! I would do it but I can't justify spending around 40 dollars to just change it to white.

There is a website deciding whether or not to make white digitizer.

Yeah I figured he was just posting without knowing for sure. I dont think they will ever make a white digitizer as the next model is just around the corner and since its so difficult to replace just the digitizer without ruining the lcd.

The amoled is fused to the glass so its impossible to replace the glass without also replacing the amoled, which is why there are no third party digitizers.
No I really wish they made a white digitizer. I would make a full white gnex if they did.
Also, a white digitizer for the dinc would be nice

They r doing a survey if people are interested in paying 250+ for a white digitizer

Thanks for the pics but I dont think there ever will be a white digitizer. The market is so small for that plus it would have to come with a very expensive lcd screen that just isnt cost feasable. I cant find any surveys but a $250 digitizer is just crazy when a brand new phone costs 350+tax, with the costs surely to drop as time passes. Stickers are our only hope until Fantom decides to release a white glass screen protector which I dont think is very likely. Istyles and skinit are 2 other websites that sell custom vinyl stickers and attached a couple of pics that I found from other threads. A black front on top of an all white body isnt too bad though and have thought about ordering vinyl stickers but am sure I will just rip them off after a day or two of having it on.
Hello there
A few days ago I was using the public transport when my Note II fell on the ground. When my girlfriend asked if it was broken, I replied that the Note II was unbreakable. When I picked it up my screen was broken (karma hits player 1 for one million thousand trillion points). I mailed to the store I bought it from and they told me it would cost 250 euro's.
I'm wondering whether this is a normal price for a screen replacement.
Thank you for the replies!
Stores always want to rip you off! I have seen issues about screen on the galaxy s3 which obviously is different but almost the same. The glass can be bought for under $10 online and there are plenty of YouTube videos with instructions on how to do change it yourself. So to answer your question yes I think $250 is wayyyyy too much

If it were me, I'd attempt to fix it myself, after reading up extensively and making sure I had the right tools.
Only you can contemplate whether it's worth it for you, watch some YouTube and make a decision

The alternative is getting it fixed in a local 'foreign' shop here in my city. Not entirely reliable, but I have little to lose.

Did you ask if they were going to change just the front glass or the whole display such as glass+ digitizer+amoled? Because if it's just the glass then it would be a major rip off! It's not that simple to just change the glass since it glued with an adhesive and you'll need to be very careful when removing it.

Well they said they had to replace everything, which probably explains the hefty price tag.

I'd do some research before running to pay. These companies tell us w/e they want in hopes of making more money off customers

First of all. If the screen is scratched or broken but still works it means than the screen is not damaged. Only upper glass over screen is broken and you can buy one from ebay for 20$ and replace yourself by video tutorial on youtube. Anyway if you fail to repar it yourself you can anytime go and replace whole screen for 250 eur. But I think its worth to try to repair upper glass only if screen is still responding after damage.

It happened yesterday, i knew it would happen at some point...
Anyone know how much it will cost me? The device is still working fine, but i have no idea for how long it will..
It's pretty funny actually, i was thinking about buying a case, a few hours later my phone fell on the ground.
So, any cheap repair options and useful cases for the future?
Visit cnn.cn I've bought from them before and have no complain. You'll find the rear housing for around $10 and if your screen still responds to touch and asking as your amoled is intact then you probably just need to replace the front glass which is also cheap and around the rang of $10 - $20. However, if your amoled or digitizer is unresponsive then the whole screen assembly would cost you around $320. Good luck.
