Is this what you purchased?

I have to replace my screen as well on my Galaxy Nexus (See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474979), so I was wondering if you could give me a recap on GoUnlock.com:
Did the replacement part work? Was shipping time acceptable? Were they shady?
reference about GoUnlock.com?

I'm also looking for reference about GoUnlock.com because I need to replace my digitizer. Anyone can say anything good or bad about them?
Btw Zathman, just in case, make sure you really want to change the full "LCD + Digitizer" package, which afaik is usually expensive. Maybe only the "touchscreen glass (digitizer)" is damaged, while the "displaying device (LCD)" that is behind could still be working fine (that is my case). LCD+Digitizer ~ $250, Digitizer only is ~$50.
found this online

They had samsung replace it.
Only 163, and they do all the work, plus shipping.
Sounds pretty good.

Well, I guess it depends. For the RAZR some online shops seems to have sold it in the past, although now they are all out of stock (maybe there are a lot of RAZR screen broken... don't know).
Try searching for "digitizer" and the phone model on ebay, and google...
Aren't the glass and digitizer glued together in the nexus? If so, you have to get both. Only phones where they're separate can you swap digitizer separately.
bow chicka wow wow.

Yes they are fused together in this phone, you can't get them separately. But hey on the plus side, no screen dust leakage!
Has anyone found a decent guide on replacing this screen? I've been looking all morning and found a few teardowns but nothing concrete. I have a cracked screen on my nexus and have a whole nother nexus i'm going to use as a replacement...
Thanks.

Woe has striked me and my Nexus' front glass is shattered. Does anyone know where I can purchase a new one? Maybe an upgraded one?
Unfortunately there is no "glass" replacement ... only "screen" replacement (amoled + glass which is not so cheap) - about $300 USD.
Dammit. Thank you for the reply. It's cheaper to buy a new phone then..
You may want to keep the phone for a while. Is not uncommon for people to destroy other parts of the phone while keeping the screen intact (like water damage or burned motherboard/storage). you may find broken phones sold as spare parts, in which case you may find a good screen at a reasonable price.
Anyway ... I'm sorry about your loss, to say so. The geek in me is crying for you .

Contact Samsung, though it won't be covered under warranty, they will apparently replace the screen for around $160 USD (according to a few posts on reddit).
Wouldn't hurt to chuck them an email and get a quote anyway

I'm interested in this as well, my boss dropped his week old GS3 and cracked the screen so I need to replace it for him.
I'd say that's a good price for what I've been seeing. But are you sure you're looking at an s3 LCD replacement and not the s2?

I have a broken screen on my extra gs3 and my best option was Samsung at 179$ free shipping for screen replacement. I haven't had a chance to send it in yet though.

I spoke to Samsung Canada, they told me to call this: http://www.microcelaccessories.com/default.aspx
Haven't had the chance to call yet.
I called Samsung for a repair quote.
$178.61 which includes shipping both ways. Phone is on it's way!

That's the exact same thing I got. I wanted to call back and ask if they can sell me parts and I would repair as I wanted to paint the bezel

now I have a GT-I9300 that needs a new digitizer. I called Samsung up again, and they won't have anything to do with it. Say I have to call support in the UK. BAH! It's the same part..
Sooo.. Anyone have the best option for repairing the glass/digitizer on a GT-I9300 in the states?
Yeah I cracked mine a few months back.
Tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890708 to change the glass and ended up accidentally tearing off the digitizer and basically cooking it.
Sent it to Samsung, $180 and 8 days later they sent it back good as new. New glass, digitizer, screen AND bezel (had a slight crack in it). Definitely the route I'd recommend going.

That's pretty good deal when you must replace digitizer. All I see on ebay (at least fro Verizon phones) is $200 minimum. Here you will not only get this thing professionally replaced, but also not have to do it yourself, and end up paying less!!!
I wish I was aware of this option before I went about ordering digitizers on ebay, and to add insult to injury ended up ordering a wrong one
Get one with he home button on it. That means you will get one with the bezel which means much easier install. Just unscrew and replace. Ones without bezel are pretty tedious as you need your old bezel.

I'll be calling samsung tonight to get a quote but for my and future screen breaker's info please answer this:
On ebay you can see pics of the back of the assembly showing i535 or i710 or i9300
is there actually a difference in these? some sellers say that a i9300 lcd will only fit the i9300 not the i535 or i710
is this true or are they all misinformed? i'm sure samsung will say there's a difference but has anyone actually replaced their assembly with a different model?
UPDATE** when i talked to samsung i learned the answer to my question!
the LCD is the same across all platforms, glass too.
the frame however varies. i also read about someone using a different frame than what their carrier used, he had to mickey mouse the whole thing, said he couldnt use his home button, and to use the lock/ power button he had to roll up tape and shove it in... all in all the whole thing was rattley and far from factory.
send to samsung

I have the t999 and broke it, so samsung won't replace the LCD and digitizer because i am in the US ?
I'm on verizon and was quoted 178. This was a while back maybe price is going down.

Hi all.
Busted my digitizer. Samsung quoted me 130 fora new screen and lcd. I swear the rep told me to pack the battery and charger, the documentation specifically says otherwise. Anyone done this?
Thanks

Hello, everyone I was just wondering if anyone knew why the galaxy s3 screen replacement is 5 times more than the iphone 4s screen. The s3 screen is around 230 on amazon and the iphone screen is only 40 some dollars. I was just wondering since I have replaced an iphone screen and it was pretty easy and cheap. So if I break my s3 screen its going to cost more to fix it than it is to get a new phone with my insurance. Unless someone knows where to get cheaper screens from. Thanks
My friend has an iphone fixing business and says it's almost impossible to get real oem screens and all the ones you see online are Chinese knockoffs.
40 is expensive btw for a Chinese one.
A real iphone screen is about 100 according to him though the 10 ones are just as good.
(though he buys in bulk from alibaba)

Replacing just the glass for the s3 should run you about $25 or so.
Screen plus the digitizer will run you closer to $300.

Hey brother listen. There a repair center for samsung called RSI here in dallas texas. Its located in plano and they offer repair services for warranty phones and they charged me exactly $165 to change out the screen and digitizer. I have proof on this on my receipt when I had mine done. Its legit oem gear, no china crap. Check it out

The digitizer is attached to the screen itself, isn't it? (I know that the iPhone 4/4S and 5 have the LCD, digitizer and screen all fused together)
Are there any reliable sources from where to buy SGH-i747(m) screens?
Aside from going straight to a Samsung repair center?
No sure. Just got a replacement screen off of eBay and although it says Samsung on it I have doubts it is an authentic OEM part.

Hello all,
So after the nth drop, my note has a crack in the upper left corner of the screen. Not an issue yet, but I can foresee it delaminating eventually.
I have found the screen assembly on fleabay for ~$180.
it's this the cheapest price available or is there a cheaper one somewhere? I imagine these eBay sellers must be running a significant profit margin.
Thanks in advance,
Roman
Sell your note and keep 180 $ and add it together and buy a new phone.

You can buy a second hand note with $250...
So, yeah, just sell it (maybe hard), and just buy a new phone.

Maybe. Is there a member on this board who has superbricked their phone and wants to sell it? I would pay about 100 bucks for the screen, as long as there are no scratches.
It is possible to replace just the glass...
There are many videos on Youtube for the S3.. I did the same with my Note
