Hello Optimus G Pro fans,
I read somewhere that the reason why Apple decided to glue the LCD and digitizer is to prevent dust from entering the screen.
Since the Optimus G Pro's LCD are not glued to the digitizer, this could theoretically prone for dust accumulation inside the touch screen.
To prove my theory is wrong, I am asking you, Guys,
In real life, Has anyone notice a dust inside the touch screen after 6 months to 10 months of use ?
After one month i already got 2 spost in the top left corner, right next to the programmable 'quick' button.
I think it's not sealed well next to the button so dust could enter. You can only see it in bright daylight and the 2 dots seem to have trails to
Is this a reason to contact the lg service center? After 4 months of daily usage it has zero scratches on the screen (and on the phone to) i handle it with extreme care. I never used a screenprotector or a phone case or something.
I'll see if i can make a picture today or tomorrrow.
I have it also on the right top, but its very small and you cant see it so easy.

It's a free display replacement if you are under the warranty period.

Hi.
Recently, for the first time in months I was able to experience broad daylight. And I saw three scratches on my hox.
Can anyone confirm a certain product able to remove them?
Much appreciated if it is available locally here in the Philippines. The 3M one is yet to call me back for availability.
Thanks guys

The screen has an oleophobic coating, you'll lose that before touching the scratches.

and you don't wanna lose it - the coating increases hardness to around 9h, versus 7h without the coating.
So I'm opting to replacement housing as best resolution?
Thanks for the lightning fast feedback by the way

Replacement housing won't have the screen as such, old phones would have when they weren't touch screen, but in these the screen and the glass that covers is its own unit, the glass is glued to the screen, unfortunately if you want to replace, you'd need the whole new screen
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
the best solution i have found to remove scratches(doesn't really) is to put a screen protector, especially if the scratches are thin/small.
but you can try using a car-scratch marker, if the scratches are that deep XD
Gonna note that down. How about 3m stuffs? Need some more options before I start killing myself heh

I have cracked the glass on my Marble White Note 2 and was wondering if I could replace this with a Titanium Gray Note 2 screen?
I can only find Titanium Gray to purchase in the UK.

Technically it will work. If you're fine with having a gray screen and a white back cover, go ahead and do it! Will the screen replacement come with a home button? You have to replace that too if you're coming from a white phone.
Replacing the screen is no easy task. If you're replacing the entire assembly, including the LCD, it's much simpler; but just the lens? It's laminated to the digitizer layer, the touch layer, and the LCD itself. You've very little chance of doing a quality replacement.
I broke my screen a couple of weeks ago. Very upset over it so I've looked into exactly what you're doing. I've settled for just putting a film protector over it and living with it for now.
Thank you both for replying and it is the whole lcd unit I will be replacing, and was unsure incase the white lcd was different to the gray and I can only get gray from a shop nearby.
And sorry to hear you have broken yours too, mine is very noticeable, but I use a flip cover so I don't have to look at it all the time

That's better than prices I've seen elsewhere...
It happened yesterday, i knew it would happen at some point...
Anyone know how much it will cost me? The device is still working fine, but i have no idea for how long it will..
It's pretty funny actually, i was thinking about buying a case, a few hours later my phone fell on the ground.
So, any cheap repair options and useful cases for the future?
Visit cnn.cn I've bought from them before and have no complain. You'll find the rear housing for around $10 and if your screen still responds to touch and asking as your amoled is intact then you probably just need to replace the front glass which is also cheap and around the rang of $10 - $20. However, if your amoled or digitizer is unresponsive then the whole screen assembly would cost you around $320. Good luck.

Installed it straight out of the box... turned it on minutes after installing it. I would give it at least an 8.

I've only had the device about a week... And no, it's not noticeably thick. You can tell it's there, but it's very smooth; I personally almost prefer using my screen with this rather than with just the bare glass.
I have the invisi-shield extreme and I like it... it's not really thick or anything and it's like a insurance in protecting your phone... the only thing I had a problem with is... there is this spot on the phone that arches over the home button and there is a small space between the button and the shield.... well it just so happened I was getting out the car heading in to work was getting all my stuff together and I dropped my keys which had a small lock on it for my backpack... and it hit perfectly on that spot and shattered my screen from that point and cracking lines went up the screen... I was irritated at first.... but got my replacement with my insurance policy and got my extreme shield transferred over to that one... but other than that little weak spot it's a really good protector and doesn't affect the screen touch at all... hope this helps your decision

I doubt it because lg screens are a bit complicated and ppl are scared to attempt it. However there are how tos on YouTube you can follow. I would go with the link I gave since the two pieces are attached. With the separate piece you might have to loca the glass to the LCD so u don't get an air bubble in the middle or dust in the screen after time. My first time fixing my Note I didn't use no loca since none of the vids instructed to do so. Worst experience ever, thank god I was able to take it apart and redo it.

I have replaced 3 screens on the OG(mine and 2 of my sisters). It is super easy only hard part is getting the glue behind the screen hot enough to take off. Other than that super easy got a phone repair kit from radio shack for like $12. I can tear down and put back together in like 5 minutes now.

DO NOT touch the battery if it gets poked or bent out of shape a little it will go bad very quickly. Obviously unplug it from the board but thats it, and its only 2 connections to get the screen off the main board. Everything is pretty easy once you get inside. I watched a video and that was a huge help.

For 80 bucks would you recommend just the digitizer or the bundled glass and digitizer? I'm assuming the two piece together is the better deal and less work correct? Just trying to make it easier for the op lol

Get both. All things being equal, your best bet is to replace both. Since screen and digitizer are so close together on this phone a break like you got probably means both are damaged anyway.
