i found this glass replacment
how can i raplce my glass (the digitaizer works so is lcd)
the only thing i found about the galaxy nexus is that you have to replace the glass, the digitaiser and the lcd together (180 dollars)
so is it just a scam?

I wouldnt buy that. Its coming from China, it isnt an official spare part, probably wont even fit. The phone probably wasnt even designed to have only the outer screen replaced without the digitizer and LCD being replaced too.
Check out this post on the display and glass replacement. Didnt try the glass replacement, but could give you some insight.

Hi All,
I dropped my note 2 two weeks ago and the screen was cracked.
The touch screen is still functional, so I ordered a replacement of the glass, followed the iFixit tutorial to disassemble it, used a heat gun to peel it off and applied the replacement on top of the digitizer.
However, the original adhesive was sticked to the old glass and was not possible to recycle. I tried to find a 3M sticker on eBay for Note 2, but there is none. I'm wondering whether I can put some kind of liquid glue between the digitizer and the glass, or a bigger 3M sticker then cut it with knife.
Thank you for your help!

Look for double sided tape. I think there's a link to the type you need on. Ifixit

More specifically, 3M 300LSE. You can buy a sheet for 5-ish dollars on ebay that has enough material to do a few phones.
You can use the glass for a template/stencil. Also don't forget to cut out the speaker/microphone holes. You wouldn't believe how it can mute the ear speaker. Or how hard it is to figure out that you've done that and not somehow left the speaker unplugged...
Thank you so very much for the info!
Has anyone had to replace their screen? If so, where did you buy your screen from? I have been looking on eBay and have found decent prices. I just worry about buying stuff from China / Hong Kong that might not work. If you have replaced your screen, or you know a place that sells reputable parts, please let me know!!!
Have you pulled the screen yet and got the part numbers?

I bought a very cheap Galaxy Note 10.1 with a cracked glass at eBay. At the same time I bought a replacement glass also at eBay.
When I received the tablet I noticed there was really no need to replace the glass since the crack was outside the viewing area and didn't affected at all visibility or touch.
Even so, I decided to change the glass because the tablet was white and the glass I ordered was black and I find it much better for watching movies and also the white border tends to darken the colours when using a paint program. (so now my tablet is unique: black in the front, white in the back
The Note is very easy to disassemble if you have the adequate tools for opening plastic cases. It is very modular so it is all a matter of removing connectors and taking pieces out. Finally you have the front case and the glass and here is the difficult thing because the glass is glued to the case so you have to apply heat with a heat gun on low or a hair dryer on high until the glue becomes soft and easy to separate. even so, I broke my old glass even more when trying to remove it. It may be Gorilla glass, very resistant to scratches, but it is thin as hell, very fragile.
Placing the new glass was much easier. It comes with glue and screen protectors on both sides.
My only concern was the original glass had a thin layer of dark grey EVA all around the screen that I suppose is for cushioning the gap between the glass and the LCD and the replacement glass didn't have it. But I haven't had any problem with the new glass and apparently, all the replacement glasses I've seen don't have this EVA layer. Tactile detection is perfect, just like the original.

If anybody knows about how to add the thin layer of EVA or somebody who sells it, please, leave a reply.

Yes it should work fine. I just replaced mine and the description for the part said, for GT-N 8000 covering Gt-N 8010, 8013 etc. The part worked great.

The same glass will work for models 8000, 8010 and 8013. The difference between them is the 3G connectivity so it doesn't affect the glass design (it could have not been necessarily the case, but it does. A good example of not taking anything for granted is the Galaxy S3 where the screen bezel is different from 3G to 4G version)

Here have a thumbs up! Do I need special tools is there a kit I can buy? I've done this before but on other devices and it was a while ago I just don't want to damage/scratch the body. It's only the screen that's shattered. If there is a kit can u point me in the right direction?

In ifixit there is a very good tear-down of the Galaxy Note 10.1 where you can clearly see the process for opening the tablet and accessing the glass:
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Note+10.1+Teardown/10144
Basically you remove the silver piece where the camera is, then the back plate, and then you begin to remove components (battery, motherboard, speakers, cameras, docking port, audio jack, etc) until you have just the frame, the glass and the LCD. Then you have to break some plastic fasteners to get loose the metal frame and release the LCD. At that point you have the silver plastic bezel with the glass attached to it. Applying heat with a hair-dryer to loosen the glue, remove the broken glass and then apply the new one. Then follow the reverse process to get everything inside again.
You can test the tablet with just the glass, LCD, motherboard and battery to check the screen is working OK. Then disconnect the battery again and put back the rest of the components. Another check before closing the back plate and there you go.
As for tools, you will need a screwdriver for the screws, a guitar prick for the back plate and some flat plastic tool to release the internal connectors. You can see the tools in the pictures of the tear-down.
One last thing: make sure the glass you order includes the touch sensor. The glass alone is of no use (still there are people who sell it)

Does anyone know where to find a front bezel? I did see the one from parts4all or whatever its called overseas with shipping as much as it costs and god knows when it would arrive- I cannot seem to find any.
Bought the glass replacement and tape to use to replace the glass on my galaxy s3. I didn't feel comfortable enough doing it myself so I just sent it to have someone else to do it. I was left with the replacement glass that was never taken out of the plastic. I checked the glass and it has no scratches what so ever. It is Samsung original glass complete with samsung logo (see pictures). I used a couple inches of the double sided tape to see how sticky it is and it is more than good enough for replacing the screen. Everything is new and is less than a week old!
If you want to bid for it on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251306063420&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123
I'm replacing the glass on a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I noticed the replacement glass I purchased has no sticky side so I was wondering what was the proper method of attaching the glass for this model. I have some of that double sided sticky tape about 3mm wide that is left over from glass repair kit for the Samsung S3. Presumably, this would go around the perimeter while the clear part of the glass would not be bonded.
Or I could also buy some UV LOCA adhesive for cell phones and glue the entire surface of the digitizer.
..and perhaps cure the adhesive by putting the phone in one of the tanning beds at my gym.
Edit: Looks like their is a third option for attachment. At least on seller on ebay is selling replacement glass with "Adhesive Top Screen Lens" for the Galaxy Nexus. I also noticed some sellers that sold adhesive pads for the digitizer - but it's unclear how this would work since the pads are large enough to cover the screen and appear to be opaque.
