Hello ,
Yesterday I managed to drop my Note 2 and crack the front glass of the handset. The screen itself is totally un-damaged.
After looking around on the internet it became quickly apparent that 3rd party repair centre's don't really want to touch the handset. I have called Samsung and they have sent me out a jiffy bag to send the handset back to them to get repaired. Obviously this will not come under manufacturers warrenty and I will be charged for the replacement. Does anyone know how much the front glass (not the screen) cost to replace? I saw someone mentioned around $180 however I live in the UK. Any guide lines on how much I will have to pay to get them to replace the broken glass would be great so I dont get a nasty surprise.
Thanks,
J
Mine dropped from two feet and hairline cracked across the whole screen. I bought the full assembly LCD/digitizer. Did the repair per LE55ONS. AOK now. afterwards, I tried to pry apart the digitizer glass. In my Note II it is bonded with transparent gum covering the entire LCD. No way to replace only the digitizer on my version of the Note II
Mine was $249 USD
Hi,
I dropped my S2X today and broke the screen.
The picture is okay in the back.. but the glass on the front is broken. So, is it called digitizer or LCD? and how much should I pay to repair it? People are asking from $100 to $175!! And seriously, the price for the new phone when I bought outright was $150!!
I found something on eBay for around $15..
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-Black-Di...cement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3f1b029e5d&_uhb=1
So, is this what I am looking for? or something else?
I live in GTA, so I was thinking there might be more options to repair the thing in some store or something but no luck on Kijiji! Asking for 3 digits is insane!!
Let me know what should I do!
Thanks,

Well, the cost of a smartphone can easily be $500-$800, so paying only $100 to get it fixed can be a deal. I see people complain all the time that Apple charges $149 for Out-of-warranty work, when they "only" paid $199 for the phone. An iPhone can cost $649-$849, the "$199" paid is the on-contract, subsidized price.
And, if the design of Samsung's phones are similar to the iPhone, you may need more than just the digitizer. The iPhone 4 and newer have the Digitizer (the outside part that you touch) and the LCD (the inside part the displays the picture) fused together, as one piece. You cannot replace "just" the digitizer or "just" the LCD. You must purchase a "display assembly" - both pieces together, as a single unit.
When I check eBay for "T989 Display Assembly", I see many going for around $250.
Again, if people are only asking for $100 - $175 to fix it, I'd go for it. Consider it a lesson learned and try to be more careful with the device.
Another 100 and you can buy a new N4.

The glass is separate from the digitizer. If it is anything like the s3/s4/note2, the glass is attached with a layer of adhesive to the front of the entire lcd. You can order just the glass for $10 USD. It is possible to change. It just takes patience. You must heat up the front of the glass using either a heat gun or hair dryer in order to soften the glue that holds it all together.
Yes its a pain, but very doable. Look at the YouTube guides carefully. Heres a link for the white and the black glass both under 10 bucks on ebay.

If you aren't careful, you can and will crack your LCD, in which case you are SOL. Always keep the glass heated ( roughly 185 degrees ) and work slow prying upwards, not downwards.

Not good, I'm pretty sure the tablet has a clear optic adhesive under the digitizer glass and lcd so if you remove the glass the glue will be remove too and you will be left with a display that looks like it has a big air bubble under the screen...(someone correct me if I'm wrong)
see the thread here (for the 12.2 model but I'm pretty sure it's the same for the 8.4)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p/replace-cracked-glass-tab-pro-12-2-t3251203
so you will most likely have to replace the digitizer glass+ lcd in one unit
for the full assembly you might be able to find these on ebay or aliexpress (china- might be official or knockoffs)
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20160117213008&SearchText=sm-t320+lcd
look for ones that include the LCD + Digitizer as one (usually around $100-$170) - also make sure the store has a good return policy and good feedback (maybe even good feedback for the item aswell), it is very hard to return to china so it's best to make sure before purchasing.
http://www.samsungparts.com/Products/Parts_and_Accessories/SMT320/Default.aspx
this place sells all the parts but you might need to email them to get specific part numbers - and well it's probably expensive
last but not least send it to Samsung and have them fix it, they will usually just swap out the lcd + digitizer with a new one.

Thank you. I guess its too expensive to make a screen replacement for the tab. Not really worth it to fix it for $200. Rather than buy a new tab. Hopefully i can find somwhere else where they charged not that much. Thanks again.

I would check around with local repair shops (ones that specialize in tablet and phone repairs- since they should be very familiar with the oca film), maybe if you can supply them with a replacement digitizer, they can do the rest of the repair for cheaper.
you can check youtube for the oca film process (type oca film or LOCA screen) and a bunch of videos will come up.

It's crazy, this tablet costs more now used than what I bought it new for.
I too have a broken digitizer... And my screen has been going bad.. So unless you live near a samsung service center, that option is out. I keep seeing people suggest the LCD + digitizer replacement, but there is not one guide on how to actually do it.
The only thing I could find was some German guy on YouTube for a digitizer (not a whole LCD) replacement. How do you go about doing the replacement? The generic answer has been look at iFixIt or YouTube, but there isn't anything for this model...

I broke my digitizer the same week I got mine. I found only one place online to buy one. Google it, it's from China. It was about $160.00ish.. I followed the tutorial for galaxy tab s on YouTube. It was very easy.
my fone was dropped on floor n got cracks on screen .. plz check pics ... screen is working fine .. so is this only front glass broken n can i just get the front glass replaced or its a bigger spending ... checked glass on ebay india its just 1499 rupees .
forget that screen only replacement its not happening unless you have specialist tools your going to have to buy a new screen and digitiser and connect it to the phone

Happened to me once with my s4, the glass was cracked but the amoled panel was working just fine. I decided it was worth taking risk and decided to leave to a man in the mobile market. The man said there's no guarantee, the panel can get damaged during removal with the help of heat and re-applying and that he will charge 2000 pkr regardless of the outcome (glass + labour). In the end it worked for me. I was in your place I would take the gamble.
You guys are forgetting something: OnePlus does not sell parts to anyone! So anything you see on ebay is not official.
The only way to get official replacement parts is to send the phone to OnePlus service center.
Screen replacement costs about 150€ IIRC (covert that to your currency).

m not gonna do that myself .. just asking for approx costs like will i have to replace the screen as well or they will replace just glass ... will definitely take it to customer care as getting repaired outside will void my warranty ... so just asking to have an estimate of the cost or repair

Ask oneplus, my friend replaced his glass only with a fake glass one that broke in his pocket, best bet it to bring it to the customer support and get a glass screen protector asap.

Happened to me 1 month ago and sent to Oneplus for repair it: got it back after 1 week from Poland with an expence of 90 Euro in total.
Consider that the cost include transportation from my home in Italy to Poland and viceversa with UPS.
Looking if there was someone else in Italy repairing it, and I found one with a cost of 220 Euro (already tested with a OP2 of a colleague of mine)... sparepart costs 190 Euro.
Honestly, if possible for yourself, I would highly suggest you to open a ticket in OnePlus.
replaced few units "glass only", it takes time, but customers is happy with result and price
just foned oneplus ppl n they said full lcd needs to b replaced :/ n cost is 12000 rupees about 180-190 dollars ...
alone glass from ebay costs just 1500 rupees about 22-25 dollars ..
should i get it repaired from outside ?
what i think is its just front glass thats broken but scared that if i get it repaired n after removing glass it comes out that screen also damaged then i will loose warranty also by getting repaired from outside and have to buy screen also

Glass only, it absorbed all the force.. But getting glass of a sandwiched amoled panel is tricky.. Really tricky. Watch it on youtube.. Its better to replqce the whole screen in my opinion. Just send it to oneplus imo.

bro use the servify Accidental damage that came with the device it'll be done for freee
Anyone see this ?
link
i want to know if someone try this on the OP3 , my screen is broke and i want to replace for this ..
its say LCD , not AMOLED .
the color black in LCD be like the black color on a IPS screen?
If screen is working fine, reacts to touch, then glass only repair can be done.
@SunnyGrewal11, I think you are Indian and if you registered for accidental damage protection plan provided by servify then rest assured.
Because under this plan servify provides screen replacement for just nominal cost of Rs. 1000. yes only Rs.1000.
Contact servify for more information.
======
1 month back i also cracked screen due to accidental fall. I just contacted servify. they properly guided me to file a claim for repair.
To file claim you have to download app "OnePlus care By servify" from play store.
Procedure to file claim is given in app itself and its simple to understand.
After providing necessary documents I taken device to authorized repair center ( oneplus partnerd with several 3rd party repair centers across country).
I paid just Rs.1000 via app.
I got device repaired in only 4 days.
=====
Contacts -
Servify - 1800 121 4984
OnePlus india - 1800 102 8411
(Both Numbers are Toll free)
If someone will decide to teardown and sell by parts, i need battery cover and pls. contact me...
I dropped my OP3 on the concrete last week. I had the original sandstone case, but the impact was very hard so the case corner was damaged and it went through. Now there is little scratch on a phone's corner. Without the case, the device would have been shattered.
I'm now worried about my phone. How long was the height of fall. Also you should try contacting servify.

do you have any recommendations on where to order front glass replacements for the OnePlus 3? all the parts i've found so far sound a little doubtful...is there any source with quality glass comparable to the original?
Comparable to original, is only cutted straight from original lcd assembly using wire. All replacements "china oem", "hq" "a++" will not be the same as original which cames with brand new phone. Sometimes in eBay peoples selling bronken lcd assembly with good condition glass.
Hi I'm wondering where I could source a replacement screen for this device as none of my local phone repair shops seem to be able to source one

Here you go and good luck with the replacement
P.S.

Has anybody got a reliable source? There seems to be a global shortage of these bloody screens and besides the official Lenovo replacement costing 90% of the price of the phone, there are no other options available anywhere. Nothing on AliExpress, BangGood, Alibaba, eBay and anywhere else in my coutry.

+1. Cracked my screen last week, still fully functional but crack pattern is expanding and I don't trust it to be usable for a long time to come.
Been searching for replacement screen assembly but found nothing. Going to try contacting Lenovo technical support in my country now...
Lenovo tech support pointed me to a repair firm.
Repair firm asks to send the phone in, after which they provide a quote. If I don't agree to get it fixed, I have to pay a few tens for problem analysis. Like wtf, it's a cracked screen, you change it, it's a standard job with a standard cost that you can give me before I send it in!
Called another repair firm. They can't get the screen.
Apparently these screens are just not available.
They are on Aliexpress right HERE.
Expensive as hell though, considering you can get a new P2 for 180 euro's or a new screen for 160.

Thanks, that one is gone again though. And yeah at that price it's ridiculous.
But I've just found this: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/For-...lgo_pvid=b8eb5b04-c098-4a2b-a5ea-f9e34e6da00f
$113, which amounts to €94, with free shipping. This seems acceptable.

Well, the seller had just one of them so I bought it. Now let's hope my cracked screen stays functional for the time it takes to get the new screen here...

Seems like nowhere.
The order I made on aliexpress was subsequently cancelled because of it being "out of stock".
Options at this point seem limited to:
1. get it fixed for stupid money (not even sure whether any fixing service can get their hands on it)
2. try to locate a damaged second-hand phone with working screen you can buy for less
3. if your LCD and touch input still work fine like mine, just put up with it and wait for some months until people start upgrading and the asking prices for second-hand models start to drop
4. meanwhile, search on aliexpress or ebay every single day and hope a screen gets available for an acceptable price
I dropped my phone yesterday and the screen shattered from end to the other but the phone is working fine. I have just ordered the replacement front glass off of ebay for £19.99 from HK but seems a bit too cheap to me but worth a gamble at that price. Only problem is I have no idea how to take the phone apart and separate the glass from the digitizer! Are there instructions about I could follow or is my best bet taking it to a mobile phone repair shop to get it done?
I can post the ebay number if anyone is interested.

You tube. Check the entire display removal tutorial. Then check glass replacement tutorial for galaxy s8.
After taking off display, you have to chip off the glass from display after heating it with a hot air gun. Then remove the residual UV glue from panel. Then after making sure panel is clean, apply new UV glue on center, then place glass on top and then press from center gently to spread the glue evenly and that's it.

Thank you but i'm never going to manage to do that myself, I don't own a hot air gun for a start. Looks like i've wasted £20 plus the postage as I doubt i'll find a mobile phone repair shop to do it for me, i'd happily pay someone to do it if I could find someone!
