But luckily it isnt a lot worse than it could of actually been, as you can see from the pics, the damage is done in the bottom left of the pic (or bottom right of the physical phone if that is how you want to consider it). Apologies on the quality of pictures as all I had to take the picture was my galaxy tab 10.1.

So what I would like to know is, this is the digitizer that is damaged right? and if so it is easy to replace? Also where would be a good site to get my replacement part from?
I heard in xda that ebay is good for spare parts like digitizer

I broke the screen on mine. It still worked just fine but had spidered all over and pieces of glass were starting to come out. I simply bought just the glass for it off eBay and replaced just the glass. Works perfect like it is new. Was under $20.

I thought about doing that too, was it hard to take the glass and the glue off?

I, too, have slightly broken glass on my phone and have been considering replacing just the glass, but the display, digitizer and glass seem to be glued together on these AMOLED screens and I heard separating them isn't easy.
I might just play the 180€ and get it repaired at there official service center :/
It's much like the S3. I used the screen replacement videos from them as a guide. The key is to use lots of heat and work slowly. It comes off just fine from the digitizer. Getting it started can be a bit difficult to get under the glass, but once it's started just gently progress along and use a blow dryer on low heat. They are glued together, but can be separated with heat and slowly prying them off. Watch the S3 videos and you'll get the idea. I couldn't find and galaxy nexus videos but the S3 ones worked fine. At one point everyone said the same thing about them that you can't replace just the glass too can they are glued together. But they're quite separable.

Thanks, I will look into it some more. I just can't really justify spending the 180 I was quoted for to get the work done by some repair centre or spend 120 on the actual screen and digitizer and then doing it myself when this phone is hardly worth that price.

Curious to know what solutions if any there are for this issue.
The lense cover on my EVO is pretty scratched up, any solutions to get it clear again? I already tried a little of the compound from my headlight lens restore kit, and that helped some, but its still pretty blurry.
Can the Sprint stores replace it? I also saw some posts in the HTC Desire forum where they used Sapphire glass to replace it, but theirs is built into the cover, ours isn't
I used to be a tech for Sprint and yes they can replace it, in fact its extremely easy to fix. The lens isnt even a lens, its just part of the back housing. If you have insurance it should be free (if the charge you, tell them you know better.) If you dont have insurance you can pay them $35 and they can replace it or you can buy a back housing from ebay for about $10. Its very easy to do but you will need a T4 screwdriver which can be purchased for a couple bucks at any hardware store.
Hmm, eBay solution sounds much better, already have the T4. Any disassembly how-to's anywhere that I should know about?
http://www.ifixit.com/blog/blog/2010/06/01/htc-evo-4g-teardown/
He says he used a T5, but I double checked and my takes a T4. Its super easy but the screws can strip easy so take your time on them.
Hope this helps. Feel free to PM if you have questions and thanks are appreciated!
You can purchase the lense cover on eBay for about $7. It's only held on by a small ring of adhesive. I had to replace mine a few months ago.
Simply remove the battery cover and use a small precision flat head screw driver or razor blade to pry off the scratched lense cover.

does your scratched cover actually cause issues with picture taking? I've got 1 really easy to see scratch on mine when looking at it but none of my pictures ever appear to be affected.

I'd agree, watching that teardown video your solution seems much simpler. Just bought a new back housing for $9 on eBay.
Well that was easy. $9 solution for the win! Pictures are nice and clear now...sample.

My pics look exactly like your first pic and my lens is all scratched up, thanks for photos now i know that is def my camera problem.
Since I saw A request of a teardown (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443139) I decided to do one at my work and since i own the TMO SGS2, I wanted to share.
And i must say this phone is all housing, compared to the Skyrocket and way different than the Skyrocket on the inside. (People had been saying they are similar or the same)
PLEASE THIS IS NOT A GUIDE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS FOR DISSASEMBLY OR ANY WAY TO FIX YOUR DEVICE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE IF YOU ATTEMPTED IT.
I work doing this and I've been almost a year and a half working in repairing and Programming androids. (and Blackberry)

Just the six you see on the back. Once you pop the back the board feels almost loose. I had to be careful cause when poping the back the board almost went with it. the screen alone with the frame felt rather flimsy I guess taking that screen of can be compare between the hassle with the Evo 4g and the Inspire (which I find the Inspire to be one of the stressing phones out for screen replacement.) Due to the fact you can damage the frame in the process. You have to dig the screen out. Unlike the i9100 which came out fast with a little heat.

But still its a risk I mean replacing it its not cheap at all! Almost $230 for the screen assembly. I am still trying to handle these screens (at least i was able to separate the i9100 screen from the frame with out causing further damage than it had, so I guess thats a start.)
If i get a phone for screen replacement Ill surely take pics.

Where can I order the OEM part from? I can only find it on globalpartsdirect.com but I do not have an EIN number to be able to purchase from there. That and they make you order a minimum of 2.
So that's what it looks like naked.

While the technology is capable of being applied to flexible media the amoled displays in our phones are applied to hard glass media and in fact are more likely to break than the gorilla glass leaving the amoled display shattered behind the gorilla glass. This is why you see so many "broken screen" phones for sale on ebay that don't turn on, the phone doesn't appear to fully boot when the amoled display is broken...
mate has a large scratch on his nexus and also has a broken nexus that the repair shop said he could keep last time round, and just wondering if anyone has a guide on screen replacement? as nothing on you tube
You might want to check ifixit site for a teardown. After that I think you can do it pretty easily.

ok cool, so looks like if you wanna replace the frame and the glass (which i do) its fairly simple, replacing just the glass seems to be a pain!
Is the scratch kinda at the top of the phone starting from the left side going up diagonally? If so, there seems to be a lot of GN's with this same problem.

Get a guitar pic and put it into the edges of the screen, ifixit has the teardown. When you put it back together, just put the new glass there instead.

Where you to buy the glass of Galaxy Nexus? I will try on ebay, nut nothing. Can you link the store?
I bought a new screen from www.gounlock.com. It's a genuine Samsung part. All that came was the glass with the lcd bonded to it. Ifixit didn't take the phone apart far enough to show how to replace the part I got. I saw a video on CNET (I believe) where they tore down a Verizon GN, but again, they stopped short of removing the actual glass/lcd.
At some point, I'll build up the nerve to tear it apart and see how it's stuck together. Hopefully someone else will do it first, otherwise I'll take pictures.

the screen in the last pic on ifixit looks the same as the screen for sale on www.gounlock.com. did you not get it the glass/lcd and frame as one part?

On all phones with Super AMOLED whatever displays, the LCD and Digitizer are one part. You cannot buy them separately. Its been like that since the original Galaxy S series.

neotekz, this is what I got from https://www.gounlock.com/
I guess I'll need to pry the old part off the frame, then rebond it. Only one way to find out
Bummer. As I stated if he has a spare nexus that the op can keep why bother trying to rip the thing apart possibly braking it when he can change the whole LCD plus frame.
P.S. All Superamoled screens are glued with the digitiser. They are technically one part and that's a fact.

I remember changing it on my Droid Charge. If I recall...I had to pry it off from the front using a guitar pick while I pushed from the back through one of the openings...it was held in place by sticky tape. Not too bad.
Edit: Yes - the digitizer and LCD is one piece.

i didnt know you can even get just the glass and digitizer like that, was it cheaper? all the ones i've seen online are $200+ and comes with the frame.
Its not wise to try and separate the display and the digitizer as you have a very high chance of damaging the display which means wasting more money.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I expected it was going to come with the frame and I was a little surprised to see that it wasn't included. I think what I got was $250-ish. I'm now debating on if I even want to attempt to install it since I can't find anybody else who's pulled the screen off the frame.

so you are replacing a broken screen? i would think that it wont be that hard to remove the broken LCD since you don't have to worry about damaging it, you just have to be careful not to break the frame. i would use a heat gun to heat up the glass a bit and see if that loosens the glue and use a guitar pick to pry it off just be careful it doesnt get too hot and melt the frame. if you end up doing this can you take some pics and keep us updated.
That's is exactly what I did on my Droid Charge. ^^^^^^^
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Just an update. I finally built up the nerve to replace my screen. Other than the fact that the screen is permanently bonded to the frame, it wasn't too bad. In order to remove the original screen and replace with the one I got from gounlock.com I had to destroy the original one. It took awhile to clean the remnants of the original screen from the frame, but once it was clean, it was back together in 5 minutes.
Overall, it was pretty easy.
Moisture went inside my first gnex. So I bought a second one ( we don't have insurance in my country). I bought one with a broken screen less than $100 and I took the screen out of the first one and into the second. Ifixit helped a lot, I applied little pressure to seperate the screen from the frame. Didn't have a puck at the moment.
So once you removed the Glass and the Digitizer from the frame how did you get the new glass and digitizer on the frame?
And how did you get the original off the frame? Did you do what the one guy said and heat it up till the glue melted some?
Hey guys, my lg g2 screen was cracked so I got a replacement screen, both digitizer and lcd. Everything went smoothly and I have everything working but a small this bothers me. The screen is not flush with the frame it pops out a bit maybe the double sided tape I used inside to hold the screen down wasn't good enough. Do you guys have any ideas as to what I can do? I was thinking of applying a little bit of silicone and let it set. Any help will be much appreciated. I am attaching the photos of it as well to get a better idea.

I used a glue from Home Depot, the type you mix. I got the clear kind. There are many types but look and see the pressure resistance and if it works on plastics before you buy. Mine was also water proof. I believe it was a type of Gorilla glue, it worked wonders unlike the tape. Jus make sure you get the correct type, even Gorilla has different types. You also have to maintain pressure till it dries by the way or your screen will stick out.

The people that repaired my screen did a bad job, thats why I added the glue, the new screen had rainbow lines issues but they manged to get it off with a little force and replace it again. This is because I did not go overboard and add too much, so you should be fine if u need to break off or replace the LCD.
I used Gorilla Epoxy (3300Psi and sets in 5 mins), just make sure to use very little amounts or it might get in between the LCD layers, basically just don't be overzealous and you will be fine.
I just cracked my second Nexus 7 2013. Both occasions the tablet was not dropped in any way and minor pressure put a few hairline cracks in the display, rendering it useless because the digitizer is integrated into the glass. Why do they crack SO easily? Has anyone else experienced this? Its very frustrating. I am considering fixing it myself, but have heard of the new display cracking on install. I don't think I'll buy another one after this durability issue and touchscreen issues on both I've owned. Too much trouble than what they're worth. Any other 7 inch tablets in the sub $300 range that offer similar if not better performance? No, the Nexus 9 is too big for my taste lol. Thanks

Funny. I'm wondering if the glass is generally weak on these tablets or if I've just had bad luck. Its literally a few hairline cracks across the display, nothing major. I pulled it out of the tablet bag I have for it and it was cracked.
It's not inherent to the tablet. I'm using my daughter's hand-me-down tablet (funny how that works...) and she abused the hell out of it. It did have a Moko case to protect it, but she pounded on it pretty hard when she got mad at apps - enough that I fussed at her and threatened to take it away.
I have it now and there isn't a scratch or crack anywhere on it. In fact, it's been a pretty awesome tablet for the money.

They are not generally that fragile, but may crack for a number of known and unknown reasons. For instance, one recounted that he dropped it for 3 inches onto a bed and got it; whereas I myself have slipped it from the trunk of a car to the asphalt with the glass landing on the hard surface and nothing happened. But what you can do is buy another assembly, and a tempered glass cover for another 10 bucks. I've had one on for some time now, and dropped it a few. Didn't do nothing.

Go Ebay. They're mostly from China and Hong Kong, would take a little time but quality-wise, good enough. I had a dodgy screen I didn't care about, so I bought a tempered-glass, installed it and proceeded to test. Cracked corner of the digitizer but the glass remained intact.
