It's a pretty easy fix and you can buy replacement digitizers on eBay.
Link? Cause I really do not know what to look for

Yes you can, its not that hard with the proper tools, steady hands, and a nice clean place to work.

Good luck and godspeed.
I took my Evo into Sprint because I had some obnoxious dust underneath the screen and they replaced my LCD for the price of 0.
You think they'd do the same cracked?

I'm not sure of their exact policy, but I know that it changed sometime a couple months ago. They used to be very good with replacing cracked screens, and it'd either be free, or just for a minimal 35 bucks. Now I believe that if the crack is bigger than an inch, they won't fix it, and will tell you to send it to Asurion if you have it. I would just call your local Sprint store and ask them what their policies are on having a cracked screen. Or just go down there and see what happens.
I have a replacement LCD and digitizer for sale, all one piece so you don't mess up with just the digitizer which is not that easy
Thas Allota love right there

He said using a t4 driver... I used a t5 when I replaced my speaker.
i know some sprint stores dont even bother fixing screens anymore. they wouldn't fix mine. it was still under warranty so i sent it back to HTC and they had it back to me within 5 days FREE of charge had to unroot my phone and put the stock sprint ruu back on though
if it weren't under warranty, i would definitely do it myself. its easy. just a little know how and the right tools. its surprising how easy these htc phones come apart.
Anyways... Good luck!
So i cracked my screen the other day and looked on ebay and new digitizers are only like 30$. Has anyone used these are will the touch screen work just as good, like i wont have to press harder right?
Also I looked at youtube videos it doesn't seem hard to replace should I be able to if i have the tools? Thanks

I did this. I bought the kit that came with only the glass and sticky tape. It works great. I used a few things to clean the sticky stuff from the bezel but a little knife or small electronics screw driver might do. Otherwise its like the videos I saw. Fixed my wife's Evo in a pinch. If you want to know exactly who I bought mine from let me know and I'll fire up a desktop and look.

My father had the glass on his Note II replaced by a local shop. When he got it back, it looked like this. I'm 99.9% sure that this is shoddy work and needs to be re-done, but I was looking for two things:
1) Confirmation that this is not how replaced glass is supposed to look.
2) Suggestions on exactly what it is the repair shop messed up.
Thanks!
Needs to be redone

No problem at all, thanks. My dad knows a lot of people in the area, and this shop is trying to make a name for itself. Worst-case scenario, they'll eventually replace the whole thing for him. I just wanted to know with certainty that replaced glass doesn't look like this.

It was in an otterbox commuter case. I took it off after it broke for the photo. Phone is super fragile. Sucks cuz there's no replacement screens available for this particular phone.
Thank goodness I have my old nexus s 4g that I reactivated today.
I loved my OG it since you can get a nexus 5 on sprint I'll prolly order a white one next paycheck

I doubt it because lg screens are a bit complicated and ppl are scared to attempt it. However there are how tos on YouTube you can follow. I would go with the link I gave since the two pieces are attached. With the separate piece you might have to loca the glass to the LCD so u don't get an air bubble in the middle or dust in the screen after time. My first time fixing my Note I didn't use no loca since none of the vids instructed to do so. Worst experience ever, thank god I was able to take it apart and redo it.

I have replaced 3 screens on the OG(mine and 2 of my sisters). It is super easy only hard part is getting the glue behind the screen hot enough to take off. Other than that super easy got a phone repair kit from radio shack for like $12. I can tear down and put back together in like 5 minutes now.

The phone kit is the best thing has everything you need.http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13180768&retainProdsInSession=1&znt_campaign=Category_CMS&znt_source=CAT&znt_medium=RSCOM&znt_content=CT2032236 And use a hair drier or heat gun to get the screen off. DO NOT touch the battery if it gets poked or bent out of shape a little it will go bad very quickly. Obviously unplug it from the board but thats it, and its only 2 connections to get the screen off the main board. Everything is pretty easy once you get inside. I watched a video and that was a huge help.

For 80 bucks would you recommend just the digitizer or the bundled glass and digitizer? I'm assuming the two piece together is the better deal and less work correct? Just trying to make it easier for the op lol

Definitely get with the glass. If you get a fingerprint or dust under the whole thing wont work.

Get both. All things being equal, your best bet is to replace both. Since screen and digitizer are so close together on this phone a break like you got probably means both are damaged anyway.

I bought an LG G2 coming Monday, and if it works out I can part out my SGH-i317. Capactive touch buttons, ribbon cables, etc. I even have the full AMOLED+Digitizer albeit with a few minor scratches (better than paying $200 I think).
It's all free if my new phone works out. The one thing I won't have is replacement front glass.

Not to discourage anyone, but it may have been a heat of the moment thread and he probably didn't really mean it. I wouldn't hold my breath. But I'd would truly appreciate it if it was true.
