Sorry guys i dont want to be annoying or something, i know theres another thread about this, but if someone could help me here, does anyone knows if the digitizer comes glued to the screen?... thanks at all!!
I found the digitizer glass cover but in don't want to waste money if it comes glued. I have experience tearingdown gadgets and replacing screens and speakers and whole case shells but I had already tried to unatach LCD an digitizers before with no success (iPhone iPod galaxy s4 )

I think a guy found that it wasn't glued. If you decide not to mess with it though let me know and I will buy it from you.

Anyone know where I can get a new screen. The outer glass is cracked not the amoled. A xda member sent me replacement once and it was the whole shell. Anyone know where i can get one or can hook me up with one? Thanks

I think with the cost of the white housing and the screen, you're better off just buying a new white s2.
I found it for $180 and I bought the phone for $140. I don't think I can find a cheap white one for $320.

I've seen them for 300 brand new guess all depends on where your at. Just replace the screen and swap with someone hat has a white one
To answer your question, yes it is easy. Especially if you get the new frame as well as screen. It is just a matter of switching over the circuit boards and speakers. I am doing it as well right now with a phone i have with broken screen. Google t989 disassembly and you will find some step by step pictures and maybe a video or two. Don't forget to get the white back as well.

Good luck! I haven't found screens for sale for this phone only the digitizer. As far as turning the whole housing white you would have to paint it, I think your better off putting a skinomi white skin rather than painting it if you screw up there is no going back and there goes your DVP.
Here is the one I found
eBay

That is good. It means that the screen, digitizer, capacitive buttons are all installed in the shell. All you do is transfer over your motherboard and other components. It is a good buy..

Just the glass? Yeah you can find it pretty cheap but who's doing the replacement itself? Samsung will do it for $160 including the glass. It's dicey doing it yourself though...

True. Yeah I've seen the glass for my gsm model going for 15 on eBay. But I though glass and LCD are connected, meaning I would have to soughter the parts back together? Anyone have any more info on this?

They are not connected. A heat gun separates the glass.

I would check out this thread.
Also, notice that the author of that thread updated it to say he doesn't recommend it after a long-term test.

Don't try to change only the glass, the lcd screen is very atached to it and you can't do it, a friend of my alos had to sell the motherborad after the unsecsfull operation. It's just my opinion....
I just replaced the screen and digitizer on mine. I purchased the replacement from eBay for about $130. I watched a YouTube video on how to take the phone apart. It was very easy to do.

I have a epic 4g touch the LCD is cracked but the glass is okay. Looking to fix it myself any idea on where to get parts from?

Same happened to me man I was gonna do that too but the screens at the time were like $180-$200 and samsung will fix the fone for ~$160 try ebay and amazon tho under "epic 4g touch digitizer" (or "lcd screen")

Thanks I'll give eBay a try. Was hoping that it would be less than 100 bucks. Lol

If I remember correctly... The digitizer and the glass are pretty much one piece.
I know the unit is usually sold as one unit. Just an fyi.

So what should I be looking for a "digitizer" or "LCD screen" just trying to narrow my search down. Thanks in advance. Also do you think its worth to fix it?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Either keyword should get you to the same thing. like the other guy said there mostly sold as a single unit
Mostly its just that some sellers use "digitizer" and some use "lcd screen" in there title descriptions:beer::beer:

There are plenty of videos of people repairing their s iii digitizers. I don't think it is that much more different then the s ii screens. To get the screen and material just type in "710 digitizer sprint" our you could leave out sprint. Either way you are going to need a hot air gun or a blow dryer and a steady hand.
sounds like a lot more of a hassle than I thought. Not sure if its worth it .

OK so about 3 months ago I replaced the digitizer on my g2 and the digitizer feels almost sticky i can't smoothly slide my finger across the screen like I can on my sgs vibrant. Is there like a way to clean the digitizer to make it not feel kind of sticky without taking apart the phone

Never heard of this, but at the same time I will say that different phones feel smoother. Maybe just get a screen protector to match the feel you want?
