Hi.
my question says it all.
i have a perfect galaxy nexus screen. no weird grid. no weird uneven colors. nothing. just perfect. however, i have few scratches by mistake on the screen " digitizer it self "
is it possible to replace the digitizer without replacing the screen ? money isnt an issue even if its the price of a new phone. its just i have OCD and i do like my screen perfect.
so . is it possible to replace the digitizer alone ? " even if i have to buy them both lcd screen and digitizer ", i will keep the new screen extra for future
I don't think the digitizer is up for sell separately yet.

I've read that the glass is fused to the housing and display but I'm interested in this as well as I have a spec of dust under my screen.

I'm unable to post links yet, so go to iFixit and search for "Galaxy Nexus teardown". Seems the screen and digitizer are fused together, sorry

i did go to that site before you post it. thanks for trying to help. however i am just wondering that even if they are fused together, can i still take them apart ?
i really dont want to lose that screen
Hopefully the overall quality will improve with the samoled displays in the near future and buying a replacement housing/digitizer will almost guarantie you a good result (dont hold me to it though, just wishfull thinking).. i have some micro scratching aswell (seems to be a normal problem with this device) but only really visable under a really strong super-led flashlight. I'm starting to feel ok with it however and decided to wait with getting a replacement till the price has gone down.

I read that one of the members here used a blow dryer on the screen and used a suction cup to remove the screen on their Galaxy S II. If these two devices were constructed similarly then this method may have some merit.

the "super" in super amoled means the digitizer and screen are fused together.
i dropped my phone from about 3 feet and broke under my screen but not the screen itself can anyone recommend a good company to buy these parts from??
There's a guy from HK selling it on eBay here. However that means that you'd need to change it yourself. I have looked at the ifixit website about the assembly of the device; however it depends on how comfortable each one is with changing it themselves.
It is quite expensive as well... I will still get a quote from Samsung prior to venturing with this option.

To the OP
Where are you getting the digitizer from? If it is sold as fused with the screen, then there's not much trying to tear the combo apart and getting it to look like a machine job will be a challenge. I assume you'd need to build a clean room setup somehow...
Anyways you could possibly verify if the screen quality is to your standards with the eBay seller I mentioned above and buy on that arrangement; however getting the other side to agree/be honest may not be easy.
Instead, why not buy the best screen protector? Those wet ones you get nowadays. Not only will it get rid of the scratches but will also protect your phone for a long time...I think that is a better cheaper investment unless you are sitting on a pile of....cash...

I have since this post received 2 more scratches and both is showing quite easy with screen off in normal lighting, last one i got today and that one´s really bugging me since it looks like something rubbed against the screen a few times.. I always.. always always! only keep my phone in my pocket on my jacket with a plastic zipper and only a microfiber cloth goes in the same pocket.. digitizer actually feels weaker then my old X10's which (apart from that i dropped it and cracked a corner a month before getting the GN) looks rather good to have been tossed around and been riding my workpants which has been everything BUT clean.. a few deep scratches but 18 months of abuse, i'd say it's in good condition! I refuse to put a screenprotector on this phone, initially i did get one.. that one scratched during installation using a regular creditcard and it just looked terrible with the peeling around the edges so, no more protectors.... and i (along with other here at the forum) believe that it is not actually the glass that scratches but rather the oleophobic coating getting scratches.. because the scratches are really really thin but clearly visible.. it's a shame.. but when the next scratch comes, i'm gonna stop being anal about it and just toss it in my right jeans pocket where the phones usually go.. never in my workpants though.. that would kill the coating in a day.
Well, today was a say day for me, for I dropped my HOX on some concrete and shattered the glass, phone still works and lcd isn't damaged... but I was wondering if theres anyone here who knows a decent repair centers in the UK, i've seen this http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/2511...ixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla&crdt=0 and i'm pretty sure thats all I need... I could even try myself
Perhsps HTC can sell us an original part, we could also ask for s one x+ battery. I don't know how much the one x digitisee and glass replacement would cost. The whole svren inc LCD is 160 IIRC so probably less than 100?
I also.have a damaged screen. My concern is whether the. Parts are really originals as claimed, be cause I'd like a real gorilla glass panel. Also, how do I reconnect the connectors I have to unplug to get the screen . Presumably it's obvious otherwise it would have been mentioned in repair guides.
HTC may repair and sell originals, how much for I don't know.
My LCD appears fine usually, but sometimes there is a yellow tint to some of the screen, presumably related to epoxy glue. Also I was pressing down on the Screen and now one of the cracks appear slightly blue Around the edges, not sure if this will change if I replace.
Finally I saw a story on xdA I think of a guy who Bricked his while trying to replace the screen.

From what I have seen in One X screen replacement videos and read in this and other forums the digitizer is not easily separable from the LCD. So most probably you'll have to replace the whole display assembly (i.e digitizer + LCD screen).
Nope
None of the replacement parts in this thread so far are close to genuine, and will be cheap crap.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320929331645?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
This is what a genuine replacement looks like, and costs. If it's under £100, forget it; it's crap. If it comes as separate parts, it's crap. The One X screen is bonded at the factory across the entire area of the screen - you will never get a good screen if you assemble it yourself, or even if a repair centre does it. You'll get an air gap between the LCD and digitizer, and therefore it will look awful in daylight.

Call up HTC. I've done some research, seems to agree with what is posted above.
I feel your pain.. I have a small crack on the side of my S3 screen. How bad is it? If its smalland on the side check out an overlay Luke by Spectre. They are about 4mm thick and are cut to cover the whole face of the screen

I was not a happy camper when I dropped my phone at work this morning and shattered the glass around the front speaker on my vzw gnex. Digitizer and led display are fine, so I'm looking to buy a new glass panel for it. Unfortunately, all the panels I see on ebay except for two are for the gsm one, not the cdma one. I know the battery door won't fit between the two, but the glass should, right? In the pictures everything looks to be in exactly the same spot. The two for the i515 are considerably more expensive than the i9250,which is why I ask.
For the record, I did pretty good; I got my first gameboy color at 6 or 7,and being just a few months away from 21 now, this is the first mobile handheld device that I've ever broken a screen on.
I remember reading on here somewhere that a person tried this and ran into all sorts of problems getting it to fit correctly. I tried searching but couldn't find the post. I would personally just recommend paying more for the i515 glass and knowing that everything will fit alright, rather than taking a chance on throwing your money away.

A user was able to replace the i9250 screen with the i515 screen, but from the post, it said he ran into a whole bunch of problems and that if you don't know what you're doing, you shouldn't waste your time.
I would just play it safe and buy the screen that goes with the phone, unless you really want to save money and try it out, but you might waste money if you damage the screen during the process.

Are we talking about the glass or the whole display? It makes a big difference. Assuming all 3 displays are the same (i9250, L700, I515), the problem is separating the display from the frame plate. Its very difficult and you can crack it very, very easily if you try to remove it. The cheaper GN LCD's on eBay are from working units and those already have the frame plate attached to it. The only way to remove it is to use a heat gun and apply it on the top and bottom front areas (as well as the sides). The apply heat to the back frame plate to loosen up the adhesive in the mid section of the screen. Then, slowly and I mean very, very slowly try to pry it open using a thin blade. Start from the top and work your way down. You should stop if you meet too much resistance and reapply heat. Like I said its a pain in the ass and not for the timid. I got to successfully remove an LCD from a frame for a Galaxy S (i500) not too long ago, its a similar in process as the GNex
I also tried to remove a L700 LCD (cracked glass) from a frame a while back and cracked it even more. I know what I did wrong and I think I wont make that mistake again. My mistake was that I did not know the exact location of the adhesive and applied too much heat in the front. Another mistake was that I thought I could remove the front glass from the digitizer. Now I know this is almost impossible and I don't know how people can buy front lenses without using some type of special tools (a true hot air bga station for instance) or a technique that I'm not aware of.
So, that's my long rant right there. I would really appreciate if any of you can confirm that any all 3 displays are the same (i9250, l700, i515). If it is then I would dare to try it out and take some pictures in the process if all goes well.
What about the oven?
I used to be into cars, and it was popular to smoke the headlamps on Nissans. They also have a lot of glue in them, and it was recommended to put em in an oven lol.
I'm sure it would get hot enough to loosen the screen, but 400 degrees may break something else in the process...

You can't use the i9250 screen on the i515. The battery metal thingies and the vibration thing are in different places.

I have asked a bunch of eBay sellers for the last few days and have gotten mixed responses... I don't think that most of them get that I am talking about separating the display from the front case/plate. One guy told me that the digitizer/LCD combo is interchangeable from the i515 and i9250, but it won't work on the L700. One guy told me that he thought that the entire assembly including the front plate were the same between the L700 and i515. Several have said that they are model specific, but I don't think that most of them realized that I am not expecting to use the front plate from an L700 if i9250 on the i515...
It doesn't seem like Samsung would have a different display for each model. I can see the plates and cases being different because some of the other parts are different, but it seems like the LCD panel and the glass should be the same for each model. To me all of the screen connectors look the same from the pics I've seen...
Edit- I just found this online store that indicates they are the same screens http://www.globaldirectparts.com/OEM-Galaxy-Nexus-L700-LCD-Digitizer-Assembly-p/smsng6115350-qs.htm

Finally found the post that you are referring to (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780491). Sounds like he ran into problems because he tried to use the i515's front housing on the i9250. I think if he had removed the screen from the frame and re-used the frame that was original to his phone he would have been fine. It looks like it takes some heat and care to do that, but it looks do able.
I am ordering a L700 screen today and will report back on how it goes installing on my i515.

Hi,
I have GT-I9250 phone and only that glass is broken. Touch and screen is fine. So if I bought this kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Outer-F...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item5d371a5630
It's possible to change that glass or should i bought hole set? Digitizer+front cover + glass?

I had a good LCD with broken glass that I was hoping to only replace the glass on and I ended up getting impatient and breaking the LCD. The glass is very difficult to get off. I tried heating it up and using fishing lines to separate the glass from the LCD, but I could not get very far. The glue seems to be spread over the entire surface and it does not take much prying to break the LCD.
Incidentally if the glass is shattered pretty badly you might have better luck than I did. I was able to get the broken "shards" off by heating up the screen and gently prying them off. Where I had trouble was the large section of unbroken glass. I tried to crack that glass to be able to continue to remove the shards, but I ended up breaking the LCD as well.
If you can't use the screen with the broken glass you might give it a go as you aren't really losing anything if you break it.
Good luck!

I have found few videos where that glass is possible to remove.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlfO6TUj1DQ
But I think that I would buy that whole set and change that. But what is the best place to buy that? So I can real deal.
Ok guys, just wanted to confirm that front glass for the L700 and GT-i9250 the same. And I assume that i515 as well.
I got for repair Nexus Sprint (L700) with cracked front glass but then was surprised that glass for L700 on ebay about $15 and the same glass for i9250 less then $10. Not big deal but anyway.. So I bought the glass for i9250 and it fits great as original.
Good luck!)
When the purchase of parts and mobile phones are not matched, the proposed replacement.
Anybody know where I can get this repaired or where I can buy the part?
I'm actually quite dissapointed with the strength of the lens it cracked in my pocket like seriously shame on you HTC.
Mine did the same thing. They replaced it under the uh oh protection but I'm pissed I had to use it 2 days into owning the device.
I refuse to use my uh oh protection on it, like it doesn't effect how my pictures come out just not appealing

Any luck?
My M9 camera just cracked down around the middle as well :/ 2 days, no mishandling at all. Did anyone have any luck getting it fixed/replaced without using Uh-oh protection?
Sadly I haven't read anyone who's had any luck, people are just keeping it as is or getting it replaced with uh oh
Mine was replaced in store in the UK with no issues
This is disturbing. I work in construction and bang my phone on stuff while in my pocket. Thought the sapphire was an upgrade lol
Sapphire is extremely hard and resistant to scratching... But that also means it's brittle. While it's going to be extremely hard to scratch, it's going to be easier to crack.
Which is also another reason(aside from being expensive) they probably chose not to use it on the screen. (Apple as well)
so i got annoyed and just took the rest of the glass off i faced two issues, one due to the crack under certain lights i would get a glare, kinda like when you wet glass and see the rainbow colors, secondly dust got under the lens and i couldn't clean it out the pictures would look fuzzy, and lastly the cracked really F*&#!ed with the beauty of the phone....sigh so here it is, hopefully replacement parts start to pop up soon so i can put a new glass :fingers-crossed: (wheres the brickwall headbash smiley?)
I posted this in another thread but got no response. Has anyone without a case got cracked camera glass? Most seemed to have been in cases in the other thread. Maybe an issue with heat dissipation?
I don't get why they have to have such a large piece of glass with such a small lens?
We don't have Uh Oh in the UK and I don't insure so I'm really worried about this happening to mine.
ive got the same problem after 6 days no insurance and no uh oh protection, but after a bit of searching i found a replacement lens on ebay it seems too cheap to be sapphire glass but in my eyes id prefer something that wont just crack again http://www.ebay.ie/itm/New-Replacem...012?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19ffc4ec3c

This advert seems to be for an adhesive (for the lens cover ) not the lens cover .
This company often is a useful source of smartphone spares.
They don't appear to stock many items for M9 currently, maybe range will broaden in time.

If you read the comment from the seller it says " The Lens have the film on it, Please Remove"
so it is indeed the lens and adhesive. it's typical of items from China that the translation is not very accurate.
I have ordered a few lens/adhesive kits for the M8 and they all have worked just fine, I'm sure this one is no different
Cracked glass here, too
Thanks for the eBay link. My husband and I both purchased HTC ONE M9 phones two Fridays ago. His camera lens cover glass/crystal/whatever was cracked straight across horizontally BY ITSELF after we had owned our phones for FOUR DAYS.
HTC and T-Mobile kept passing us back and forth because it was less than 14 days. HTC wanted T-Mobile to fix it, T-Mobile wanted us to use our HTC Uh Oh protection.
In the end, we are being forced to use the Uh-Oh. I'll try that eBay item first, though!
Just notice today that mine is broken also. Don't really want to use my oh uh protection just for that
Did not find a link on the whole WWW
Hello people,
My M9 lens cover cracked also, and I do not think it is because of a hit, as I tend to take care of my stuff. But it did so now I have to replace it.
Bought tools and glass from ebay, all together about £10. You can find it even cheaper. I will replace it on my own as HTC are very stupid with their policy, £30 just for diagnostic (like I do not see the glass being cracked) + repair + parts. It is overly priced.
Does anybody have a link with how to replace this glass from the M9?
If not, do you have to take the back cover off to do this?
Thank you.
Regards.
I got cracked lens cover, I have removed it awaiting New cover from eBay however without lens cover on camera does not focus on distance objects only close up. Could this be ddie to no lens cover or is the camera broken
I replaced my lens from ebay. To remove it I used a hair straitener as a hotplate to loosen the adhesive around 180 deg F
I wore rubber gloves/ and pried the sapphire off of the camera with an exacto knife and or razor blade.
Double checked to make sure I had all of potential glass shards.
I proceeded to take off the back of the new lens and lined it up and from there I now have a perfectly non-cracked lens.
Problems I ran into this. I have had a piece of dust or sand on my camera lens since I cracked it(maybe beach sand?) and always have this unfocused 1mm 'gray' spot. If I had an air compressor I would have made sure to blast my lens with it hoping to remove that spot.
I live my life with a grey spot on ALL of my photos .
But aesthetically it is barely noticeable and my lens is not cracked. I plan to use my Ut Oh protection when I get close to my date.
If and when anyone replace any parts on this phone, like a screen, digitizer, frame or just anything, please share your experience here, thanks!
As I understand it, the original water resistance won't be relevant after tear-apart. Some impervious will be lost. The disassembly is more involved than most, in the past. I, myself, may be looking at getting a better phone via trade-in. Gone are the days, for the most part, of servicing the phone for a battery, to keep things going. I'll still monitor the posts about the phone, but things have gotten to where 'root' isn't much of a benefit anymore.

I'm in the process of getting a new screen, a frame and a battery. Right now the cost for the screen, digitizer and frame is around $175. Batter $7. There's pretty good instructions out there, so shouldn't be a problem.
Didn't you start this thread to share info when sourcing replacement parts?
Where are you sourcing the screen, frame and battery you mention in your post?

This is what I'm looking at right now. Been looking around a lot and those two seams OK and I'm going to wait for the price (screen) to drop a bit more. It was $150 a month ago.

Meanwhile...
I will try this screen protector:

It's similar to Dome Whitestone, but a fragment of the price. About $4 compared to $40...

Beware 'cheap' prices! Potential bad fit/poor adhesion. If they have a good return policy, go for it, otherwise, next company.

I'm aware! So cheap it's worth trying and aliexpress have a 30 day return policy if I'm not mistaken...
I'll keep you posted...

If the image under the glass is broken and the touch panel is NOT then you only need an LCD.
If the top touch panel or (glass top) is cracked or broken but the image under it is fine then you only need the Touch Panel (relatively cheap).
If the top touch panel is broken and the lcd image is either black liquid or cracked you need a complete screen.
To be honest it's probably easier to get the combined parts to avoid having to separate LCD from digitizer and risk a failure. Since the digitizer is fused to the LCD you would need some special tools to remove the digitizer to ensure success. Separating the assembly with heatguns, etc. isn't that easy.
My advice: invest in replacing the complete assembly to ensure success.
Positively surprised
The Akcoo "doomglass" fits perfectly and I struggle really hard to even see my cracked screen underneath. Remember, this was $3.50 on Aliexpress! Will still go for a new screen later though. I'll keep you posted regarding the quality of the screen protector...

Nice! These protectors with the UV glue are the only ones that work good on curved screens, had one on my V30, but now need it for my V40. The source I was going to use is currently away for Chinese New Years.. May I ask how long it took to ship to you?
Thanks
Shipping

3 weeks, hehe... Might have been a boat ride. Don't mind really for that price
Screen price is down to $121 now, but I'll wait a bit longer
Old thread but you can find demo models on eBay for around $70. Just use the original charge port flex. Then you get the cameras and a new (used) battery too
