Hi all,
Just my luck, and what a way to start the new year!
My nephew managed to knock my phone off the table and onto the tiled floor, cracking my Galaxy Note 2 N7105's screen. (My new case comes in tomorrow T_T)
It has a big smash to the glass front, and I was just wondering if someone could tell me which bit was broken? E.g the glass or the digitiser etc, and how much it would cost to fix?
The phone still works PERFECTLY, S-Pen works flawlessly too, so I'm guessing it's just the front and not the digitiser that's the problem.
Here's a picture of the damage.

The digitiser or just the front glass screen? If it' the digitiser it'll cost me over £100
However, if it's the glass, it'll cost me £15.

You only need to change the front glass. The glass itself doesn't cost much you can get one easily from eBay. Unfortunately the glass is bonded to the LCD by strong adhesive and you need to carefully remove it so as to not cause any further damage to the display. You need some tools and also hair dryer/heat to remove carefully. You can search in YouTube for tutorials before proceeding to try on your own. Good luck :good:
Just wondering if you tried changing the glass? I have the same problem and am trying to decide if it's within my abilities to tackle this

Wow, maybe your lucky, search on YouTube there are many videos of how to fix your digitizer. And you need heater, i think hair dryer can help, tiny both side tape, and free time.

The part that you are referring to is just the LCD. You must first check if the LCD is still working properly by turning it on. If you can still see the whole screen light up and function properly under the crack, then the only thing you need is a Digitizer, which you can also find on eBay. In the event that the LCD isn't working properly, you need both the LCD display and the digitizer. Oh yeah and don't forget to order some TORX screwdrivers, to open the TP2 up!
the LCD and digitizer both work fine, this actually happened about 2 weeks ago and ive been using it every day since then.
the only thing broken is that little piece of glass, which your saying is part of the digitizer? its not cracked on the outside, thats why i wasnt sure which part i needed
thanks

Oh really that's weird xD as far as I know there's an LCD screen, with a Digitizer on top that changes your touch into a digital signal (hence the name Digitizer).
You might have to wait for another person to prove me wrong
have the same issue (and no warranty), glass cracked few months ago lcd & digitizer both work fine but the crack is a bit annoying while using, hope your problem was solved ... so did you find out which part was affected? thanks for any info cause I'd like to buy the right part too

Next time, please start your own thread instead of hi-jacking one that is months old.
The glass is always sold as part of the digitizer. I have never seen it separate. Ask whomever you are buying from if it is the glass+digitizer or digitizer only.
has anyone attempted to disassemble the arc yet, i friend just bought his (after breaking infuse screen) and broke this 1 too...the touch screen on top if fine the lcd panel itself is torn/cracked was wondering if any1 has tried to take it apart yet..google didnt help.
btw had to order a replacement screen from hong kong..not available in u.s yet
cant be done. Must buy the lcd + digitizer together. I tried separating the digitizer from screen and ended breaking the lcd. It just showed up black and nothing else.

I've done it myself after I lost my Arc on the pavement. It's not that hard really. It took me an hour or so to complete the exchange. The hardest part is splitting the screen and backframe (or what it's called) from each other. There are lots of clipses holding this beast together.
But it can be done
Lol an hour sounds time consuming...on a side note tho the design of it seems flawed. my friend sat on it with the phone in the back pocket. i do this with all my phones and never had a screen issues...i think the curved back may have bent the screen more than my friends fat a$$
sent as pixels travelling on an invisble superhighway!! via XDA App on the s#ift
UPDATE: finally got the screen from hong kong for 66$, it was easy to take apart, actually 1 of the easiest ive taken apart so far. the motherboard chip set separates easily from the front housing holding the lcd and digitizer, theres also a guide available on how to disassemble it on xda. thinking about getting my own arc now...hmmm

Hi, my arc s fell from motor cycle yesterday, the screen smashed pretty bad on bottompart. It still boot normally, what part do you guys think nee to be replaced? Thanks before.
Today was a sad day. I dropped my GNex when taking it out my pocket to get in my vehicle. It dropped faced down from waist height and landed on some rocks/concrete. It took a chip out the glass and shattered in a few places.
Everything still works which is pretty good I guess no problem with the touch screen
I was crushed when I picket it up and fist saw it. I have a silicon case on it and no screen protector.
I hate cases and screen protectors but if I can get this fixed I will probably use both.
My questions is what's my best options here. My brother got me the phone from UK I use it on TMobileUSA. Basically I have no warranty here and wondered if there is someone in the USA that replaces screens or can send me one to do if not majorly complicated.
My brother said Carphone Warehouse will fix it ~£100 but they send it out. Seeing I use my phone alot for work was hoping to be without for minimal amount of time.
Any ideas? thanks

Send it to Samsung. I've read they will replace screens for $160 or so with a two week turn around.

Yup, you will need phone tools too.. Also found online: Amazon, ebay, etc..
Then just search for a "tear down" and follow the instructions.
I had my Galaxy S2 display broken. Took it to a repair center and saw how easily they put in a completely new front! I don't know if it is just as easy with a Nexus, (and offcourse here only replacing the screen applies as the back is made of one piece of plastic) but it might be worth to look?
You can find a display on ebay by searching for: galaxy nexus front display
I know it is expensive, but shopping a bit around the internet might help?
Advantage of doing it yourself is obviously that you don't have to send your phone away and being phoneless

I ended up sending the phone to my brother back in England. Carphone Warehouse fixed it for ~£79.
But I was too impatient and just ordered a new phone before I sent it off. I now have a screen protector and case
Sucks to break the screen as it can break so easily and there is no easy way to get it fixed in the US with the GSM version bought overseas.

So after 2 weeks and on the 1st drop my GAlaxy Note 2 glass broke out... but the touch screen is 100% working. My question is, can i just replace the glass with this:
http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-glass-lens.html
Or do i need to change it all:
http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly.html
I want to know if like the i9100 and i9300 the gorilla glass is attached to the touch screen or not in the note 2.. i hope not.. thanks!

You do need to change it all.
I mean in Galaxy Note screen comes as glass + touchscreen like one part
Glass seems to be attached by glue
Sorry.
:crying:
If the touch screen is still working, you definitely don't have to replace the whole thing, just the glass on top which should cost only 30 dollars ish.
Sorry this happened to you

the glass and touch is one-part.
I just replaced the broken glass of my N7100 with a 30$ one from ebay.
It took me about 1.5h
You will need a heat gun and something to lift the broken glass of the actual display.
Start on top and work your way down, be very careful on the bottom of the phone, because the soft buttons are actualy glued to the glass.
My phone works ok now, i did get some small scratches in the display from the metal plyer i used to remove the pieces, but they are barely noticable when the screen is turned on.
Sometimes the digitizer misses a input, i only recognize this when playing a game with heavy touchscreen use, does anybody know a way to fix this..
Good luck!
Oh god.. $280 dollars!!!, might as well buy a used S3 then trade that for a note 2.

The only Thing I know is, that you must replace the entire display because super / amoled displays hermetically encapsulated ,so that oleds not age as fast / oxidize. I Think you have to replace the whole one.

It IS possible to just repair the glass..

Hey guys I have an Epic Touch 4g and I was wondering if youd be able to replace the glass only!?I know theyve done it on the i900 but this one has a touch only home button.I already ordered the glass I just wanted to know it its been done successfully?!please help guys I cant afford the glass plus digitizer!!
As far as I kno a it can bs done. You would need to look up exactly how and where to heat tje screen up to seperate the glass from the digitizer. Also putting it back on will be a pain with the dust and whatnot. Good luck.

Doing just the glass is a very time consuming and very risky process. You will need a heating plate or a heat gun. Not a blow dryer. If you do it incorrectly with either device, you will fry the LCD or other components. It is much easier and much safer to just replace the full assembly. I am very proficient with hardware and I would much rather replace the entire assembly than attempt to do just the glass. It is too risky.

Does anyone know of a good video, emphasis on good, describing the teardown and replacement of the screen. I'm about to start searching and honestly I don't have a lot of time to find it on my own.
Thanks.
Let's put it this way, if you don't have the time to do a 3 second google search, we won't have the time to help you. We are not here to babysit and spoon feed. With the amount of time it took to type that out, you could have searched.
