I too have been looking at replacing the screen on my 1st One X but I haven't seen any instructions on on how replace them.
Did any of you find instructions or tried it yourself?
My replacement screen just arrived but can't find instructions anywhere.

Still no instructions or even videos.
i sent mine off to HTC for a repair.. couldn't find any instructions online and didn't want to void the warranty already
in my bill they also replaced the battery free of charge, i can only assume this for some reason breaks the existing one.
i also read the lcd is attached to the glass (like the iphone 4), so unless you ordered a complete lcd and glass replacement i don't think it'll work...

£145!! although if it is the case that the screen and lcd need to be attached in one part, that part costs £140 on ebay so its not that bad.

Not easy, they use something akin to superglue to bond the LCD and digitizer for better viewing angles.

Any suggestions?
Do not buy digitizer without LCD
I bought a digitizer only because my screen glass had been cracked only. Apart from aesthetics the phone was working perfectly. I found a youtube video about "screen replacement". Shame on fellow american friend not explaining everything, leaving out the most important details.
The followings are based on my experience:
1. The sticker is very strong, if you heat it up, it is better.
2. The LCD and the digitizer is glued together so much that it is IMPOSSIBLE to separate them without cracking the LCD. So now I need to order a complete LCD-digitizer set as well...
3. While you have taken it apart, you can sort out the wifi antenna connections as well.
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?
I just want to know. are they the same ?

No ... You're going to ruin it ...
Please help. I had crack on my glass and i need to repair it. I heard that you could change touch only with lcd. Can you show me the photo who look original lcd + touch.
I want to buy one on ebay but I afraid of fake...
I haven't heard of anybody who managed to separate digitiser and LCD.
Check the broken screen threads.
I can't find any good way to solve. for now all i need is to find original lcd with touch. What you think? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/ORIG...CH-Full-Assembly-Free-Shipping/566028279.html
does it look original like?
Hello Guys.
I dropped my phone today and when I lifted it up my screen was blue/black. I pulled the battery out and turned it on. Most of the screen is black and can't see anything. There are strips of blue pixels here and there.
What exactly is broken and what do i need to replace. I obviously need to replace the Glass frame/screen, LCD ... do I need to replace the digitizer as well?
If anyone knows about this please help me out.

As long as I know any T999 i535 I747 will be compatible except I9300. I dont know why but some T999 users havd problems.
Is a good deal indeed. But If you can find some with frame includes will ve a very sweet deal.

I know sound expensive but you only will have to change the mainboard and components very easy without any need of stick or glue to install it on the frame.

Yeah I heard it should work and is cross compatible. But my question is if on that eBay link.. Are they selling everything I need to fix my problem or do I need to buy something else? I
It says: 1. Front Glass Touch Screen Digitizer Panel + LCD Display Screen pre-assembled without frame
That's all I need ?
Thanks

Yes, the only concern I have is the glue used to join the frame with the screen, if isn't professional installed this will be falling soon or getting dust an sand under the screen. Thats why I recommend the entire frame and screen set...

Unfortunately I don't have that money right now so I will settle with the cheaper method. I will try and see how it goes.
Thank you for your help.
Hi all, apologies if this has been covered, I did a search but didn't find anything.
I have an HTC one with a cracked digitizer and I am planning on trying to fix it myself (I like a challenge!)
However, I am struggling with which parts to buy. I live in UK and all of the sellers on eBay seem to be on Hong Kong or China and the parts do not seem to be OEM. I am concerned about the quality of non-OEM parts.
Does anyone know of some genuine sellers in the UK/Europe? If you know of somewhere better in the US then I'm happy to pay postage as long as it's genuine.
Also, there are a lot of listings for digitizer only - I cannot find any recorded method of removing the digitizer from the LCD so I assume I should stay clear of them?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Find a HTC Carepoint. They have them but i don't know if they sel them. A repair ad mine shop wil cost you €240,-
@stumark man that's gonna be a tough thing to find. In order to get original parts your either going to have to get it to a HTC repair shop or buy an m7 for parts and rip of the front housing. I just bought the full housing so I can change mine from silver to black but I have not seen any official screens. I can give you the links to some I found in the US if you want tho.

I assumed that I would need to buy the full housing but I cannot find one that seems genuine. So if you have found some that you know are genuine then some links would be great, thanks

I'm interested in doing the same- changing from silver to black. I'm curious how did it go, did you manage to swap the casing/display without damaging it? I saw some vids on YouTube about it.. looks pretty messy..
I bought my housing from this guy http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Si...er_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item51b4c6527e
U think it only can be original if it comes from us or uk? where do you think this is made?

Hi,
I have a htc m7 with a cracked digitizer and I want to repair it.
I know that the best is to change the digitizer and the screen together(like this one for example), but I saw this video and others to replace the digitizer only and it seems easy.
Did anyone already tried to replace the glass?
I thought it was needed to unglue the screen from the glass and glue it again, but I didn't found much information about this.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Diogo

Yes, i did it my self and if you going to replace the lcd you shouldn't be worry much :victory:
my recommendation it to remove the SIM stick first then, start to insert the tool between the upper lip of the SIM port and the Black lcd frame :good:
then start to pop out the lcd from the the back cover BY moving the tool around the phone.
the bottom speaker grill can be removed easily, but the upper one has a screw from inside from the left side only.
you will find some youtube video, but my recomendation to start from the upper lip of the SIM port

I think you should remove the sim slot first. I messed up mine trying to take out the back case and also messed up the volume up button. [emoji35]
