[Q] Cracked screen, help needed - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey, so as the title suggests I dropped my phone which caused a crack at the lower right corner.
Now I remember when the phone only came out everyone were saying its not possible to only change the screen and that you need to change the screen plus the amoled screen and digitizer.
Now I after searching the forums I saw this thread-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946828
It looks very promising but its also quite old.
I was wondering if anyone had any recent experience with replacing just the glass screen of the GSM Galaxy Nexus.
Also his link for the New Adhesive is dead, can anyone provide me with a link to a new adhesive? or it doesn't really matter which one I buy off ebay.
Thanks a lot! I really like this phone and hopefully I wont have to replace tons of stuff to get the screen fixed.

Same thing happened to me last week. I think it is quite possible to change just the glass, but i haven't tried it yet.

Glass removal
It is possible to change just the glass :fingers-crossed:. We just did that using a string. There is a video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7BmmDCKBgQ :good:

[Q] Screen is grey/pink

Hi guys
I hope everyone is well
A week or 2 ago i noticed a pink line down the right hand side of my screen
ALso the bottom of the screen was slightly pink although i could see the text.
Gradually over the last couple of weeks the pink at the bottom of the screen has nearly filled the whole screen. The bottom of the screen is now turning from pink to grey.
Obviously i believe this to be a screen/LED problem
I have looked on ebay and found screens with digitizers but I am not sure if this will do the job or it needs another part with it
can someone please point me in the right direction...preferably with links
thanks in advance

Hi mate, I recently changed the screen and digitizer on my phone. If it's just the screen thats broken then you only need a screen, however you need to be VERY careful when taking out the screen from the digitizer, as if you break the connector to the digitizer then you will need to buy a new one too! Search youtube for "bravo disassembly procedure" or something along those lines, it's the official htc video.
It's actually pretty straightforward to do, and you don't need to treat it as gently as nitro glycerine either, as long as you don't use too much excess force.
Thanks
Hi mate
thanks for the reply
I have seen those videos around and got one in my favourites already
By the sound of my problem do you think i will just need a screen and digitizer or will i need more

The whole screen is like a bluey colour,.,,..cannot see anything at all

Hi guys
Anyone managed to have a look at this?
anyone
sorry to post again
anyone able to comment on this? please
Hey sorry mate.. Hmm if it wasn't the screen then it must be something else... I don't want to tell you what it is for you to aimlessly keep buying stuff, because it's just not worth it. If it wasn't the screen then it could be so many other things.

N7000 Replenishment Screen

Hello guys,
10 minutes ago my galaxy note N7000 screen cracked in my pocket.
So I need to buy a replenishment screen from Samsung but I simply can't find stores that supplies replenishment parts for it. Do anyone knows where to buy a new Amoled LCD screen for galaxy note ?
Thank you and best regards,
Amid
ebay, took 5 days to ship from HK to NYC. Follow youtube guide in opening the note and use blow dryer/heat gun to loosen the sceen, wedge open with something sharp and slowly tear back the screen gently. You will need the old Wacom sensor from the broken screen so becareful to not to rip it. There is guide in the general section. I broke mine 2 weeks ago and replaced it in a hour. take your time you can get it done.
Thanks man. Just to be sure, the price is about US$ 230,00 for it ? i am not sure if I am looking for the right spare part.

I think this is what you are looking for:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/S-Black-Dig...087?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c65951cd7
I can try but I don´t think this will help the problem. The screen doesn´t show any images anymore, looks like a broken LCD. When you press it, a lot colors appears around it. Do you believe this is the one I need ?
Thank you and best regards

Hmmm no, in that case you will need the 200ish one.
You will need the entire setup, glass, LCD, and Touch. Does not come with Wacom sensor. Looking around you can get them for 230-260. Look for delivery, that makes a huge difference, especially with your phone out of commission.
This is the guy I purchased mine from, but I panic and purchase the first one I saw. If you do some research you will find cheaper, but I got min in 5 days. So I am glad this guy came thru. Good luck, its going to stress you out a bit when you have to remove the screen from the front panel, they are glued on so take your time. Looks like your LCD broke so it is going to crack and shatter further so make sure you do it in area where it is easy to clean. If you look at the front panel after you remove it, you will see one wire that does not come with the replacement one, that is for the wacom sensor, so be careful and don't damage that part, you will need to peel it off and place it back on to the replacement lcd, otherwise your s-pen won't work. It's been 2 weeks, my phone is going strong and no sensor or sceen issues. You should get a more protective case, since you probably already blew close to ~$1000 on this phone by now. I have a casemate, otterbox commuter looks like a good one. Once again good luck, you can do this.
Please stop advising people to do something that is not meant to be done and can possibly damage their phone even more. And most likely look completely rubbish when assembled.
The correct repair part is a complete display assembly including everything - the glass, digitizer, Wacom digitizer, AMOLED, bezel, frame abd home button. It costs around 260 dollars on eBay and is relatively simple to install. By installing the complete assembly you don't need to worry about separating the glass and AMOLED or about the Wacom digitizer, since they are all included. Just remove the screws, back housing and motherboard, disassemble the audio flex cable and front camera flex from the old display and put them into the new one. Most displays also require the old charger port flex and speaker module to be used.
The correct part looks like this, for example: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=320843198847
Well mine looks brand new, must be the workmanship ;-P But why flame my advise when he is going to need to do it anyways, the screen is completely useless, as was mine. Why don't you keep your assumption to yourself in how it will look or if he is going to ruin the device. If he decides that he would rather live with a crack screen or someone who is willing to do it, there really isn't much options here. What's up with such negative attitude here. Just trying to show him that it can be done.

Replacement screen with 2 connectors
Hello!
First of all I would like to say Thank you for all the resources provided in this forums!
Could someone please help me to find a replacement screen for the International version of the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with 2 connectors? This phone has the physical home button. All the replacements that I've been able to find have just the first connector. I tried to post a photo hoping to help better explain it, but I can't do it yet.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Hello, I have got repaired my GN in Samsung service (Slovakia) for 165 €. I have had the same problem. I think, that should be the best way.

Thank you s.magus! I would love to go that route, but I'm in Venezuela, and Samsung is selling the GN, but does not yet have replacement parts. You're right, that will be the best way.

Hi ,
I think Senior member Justis is right... many of us dont want to do a full screen replacement for 220$...when we can just remove the front screen for 20$..many have done this method successfully... U just need to watch a lot of youtube videos on this and be careful/delicate with the procedure... its possible.
So i dont think what he said was a waste.. Pls keep such remarks to yourself.. He was not wasting anyones time.
Infact you are wasting my time making me read your message and give u a reply.
You know what...im doing a screen replacement too... thats what guys do first. njot jump in and do a full replacement for 220 $.:good::good::good:

Nexus i9250 Screen replacement

Hello to all. I did my fair bit of research on this forum about a screen replacement for the International version of Galaxy Nexus but could not find any suitable solution to an Indian user. I got my Nexus from Amazon and lost my screen in a pretty harsh fall. There are cracks developed at the top of the fortified glass and I could not find any screen replacements in my city/country so far.
I would like to know if any of you have replaced the i9250 screen anywhere outside the U.S and if so, what are the reliable options available? Singapore perhaps (Pretty close to India), anyone know of any place there?
Please do help if you can, I'd be much obliged.
Me too ;(

Hmm i cant help but i am in the same position... I bought a screen (only) from this store on ebay "easyworldwidetrading" and even he doesnt know how to replace it! Any ideas anyone?? Nothing on youtube i can find... still got a cracked screen (phone works fine tho... I just tell people its a 'crack' app I cant uninstall...)
You may have to order a screen internationally. Check Amazon and
eBay.
Also, make sure that when you buy a screen the screen you buy is specifically for your device (GSM).

Confirmed.
Do a search, it's out there.
did anyone tryed to change only the glass to a nexus? i've read some articles on xda over changeing the outer glass to i9000.
I have other question: the outer glass isn't glued to the whole digitizer? will i damage the digitizer if i try removing only the glass?

Yes to both. The original screen replacement come as a whole package, so you basically switch the internals to the new case+screen.

if you are not very careful, yes.
I repair cell phones a side job. Screen replacements are my specialty. I haven't personally done a GNex but if its anything like the S2, it can be done. The key is patience and attention to detail. When I do screens like those, I budget an hour and a half for time to remove it. Its better to take a few breaks and double check your work than drop $150 on a replacement LCD because you were in a rush.
That brings my to my second point. The worst thing that will happen is you crack your LCD, so it can be fixed. You won't break it beyond repair. But don't try it unless you are ready to spend the extra money *IF* you mess up.
THANK'S for the advices
@ rudeguy: can you be more specific, like where exactly do you start from removing the glass, do you aply heat to a small are and the remove, what tools do you use? once again, thank's in advance!
PS:how does the digitizer stuck's to the glass? wown't i allso remove the digitizer when i'll remove the glass?

Cracked Screen Repair

Hey guys, good day.
My HTC Desire Eye screen cracked (I accidentally dropped it) and it really looks horrible. I am planning to replace the screen myself, and I am asking if anyone repaired their phone by themselves as well. I'll be buying the parts needed in eBay. I am also wondering if I can only replace the glass and not with the LCD? The LCD screen still looks impeccable despite the cracked glass and touch works perfectly. However, I am yet to find a tutorial that shows replacement of the glass module only.
Thank you very much in advance.

U can find tutorial on YouTube. And yes you have to replace entire screen not just the glass.
My advice is get it replaced from a expert. It doesn't cost much. Also buy original screen don't get a bad one.

Pixel 2 XL screen repair (HELP!)

Hi all. I've had un unfortunate phone drop last night, resulting in the glass of the screen broken in the lower left corner. The screen is displaying perfect and so the digitizer. I've seen some sellers on amazon selling the glass only with no digitizer nor display. Can anyone let me know if this can be changed (glass of the screen only), and if so, any tutorials or videos to do so?
I really dont want to spend more than $100 on a new screen...
I hope someone helps! Thanks!!! Cheers.

I dropped my Pixel 2 XL in November, also only the glass was broken.
But I paid €180 for the glass plus screen, because the screen is razor-thin and glued to the glass. As far as I know, the glass isn't sold separately, at least not as original from Google.
And believe me, the glass is very thin, but the screen is even thinner. So before buying a third-party-glass, I would check how to get the screen off the glass and back again.
I've been looking for some videos about this, and it looks really complicated to separate the glass from the screen, but possible. Some guys apply extreme cold or heat to unglue the screen, then they clean up ALL the screen, and then they reapply something to stick it to the new glass (I don't know what they use). So balancing the hard work to do this, I'm starting to think it will be a better option to change the whole screen. Do anyone knows if new purchased genuine screens comes with the blue problem solved? Any good place to purchase a genuine one within USA?
Thanks for the answers and help...
