I cracked my screen on my touch pro 2 last night and my touch screen still works fine, I just have 2 long cracks from the right of the screen to the left. what is it I need to replace to have my pretty touch pro 2 again?
I'm on Verizon and I don't have insurance so that's out of the question.
I've added some pictures of my screen.
that hella sucks. Give this place a try given that you know someone that can install it. When I broke the screen on my Shadow, I was able to take it down to a cell phone repair shop and they took care of the ordering of the screen and instillation. If you want to get an idea of the prices you can check the following websites. Check your model number first to ensure proper fit. http://zlectronic.com/product/LCD-Display-Screen-+-Tools-For-HTC-Touch-Pro-2-T7373. For more options try the following: http://www.cellulardr.com/search.php?nobox=&scat=&stext=screen&stype=&sprice=&sman=7&pg=2 Best of luck
I was thinking about just doing it myself, I've never done anything like that before but I figured I'd give it a shot.
thanks for the sites.
If you are planning to make it yourself go to the Wiki and over there you´ll find a disassembly manual for Rhodium.
Good luck,
IS the Digitizer and lcd glued together? or are they seperate?
Because I had a touch pro (fuze) and the lcd and digitizer are glues together and I wasn't able to seperate them without distroying the lcd.
Had to order both digitizer and lcd.
you may want to open it up and see if there glued together that way you what to order.
I didn't have opened mine yet, but there was a discussion here and they saying it's pretty well glued. you'll need a hot air gun, good hairdryer or/and a very good skills with razor blade
you can't order just the broken glass. you didn't say if lcd is working too, but if yes, you may try to just remove the broken glass. it would probably be polarizer and it may work without it, with not as bright picture on sunny day.. may..
check ebay, in case, better order combo (touch+lcd) because there seems to be some optical compatibility issues.
Yep, I broke my galaxy. Screen and touch sensor works awesome, but screen is fully shattered. Searching at the forum gave me one positive result: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23644712&postcount=6
But i cant find any guide anywhere. If someone know how to make this kind of operation please leave your post or guide, it would be great. Thanks in advance!

It is very risky to replace the glass only. Doing it this way increases the risk of damaging the AMOLED panel, either by overheating it or scratched/cracked by the broken glass. I've explained it before; if you want to replace the glass only, you'll need to separate the screen assembly from the frame first, then separate the glass from the AMOLED panel. You might end up breaking the panel anyway, so might as well replace the whole thing. But you can give it a go. It should be possible to remove the glass while keeping the AMOLED panel in the frame, because the panel itself is very fragile.
I replaced only the glass on mine.

Hi. This is my story about SUCCESSFULLY replacing only the glass of s2.
Background, you can skip this:
Few months ago I broken the glass of my beloved S2 in an accident, but because I had a screen protector the pieces of glass were kept together and the phone was 100% usable, only the image was distorted because of broken glass.
So I searched the available options: replace the whole display for a price of more than 100euro. Buy a defect s2 with good screen, but didn't found any lower than the previous price.
I had a previous experience with an Ipod Touch with the same problem, when I ordered the glass from ebay and went to a local phone repair shop that destroyed the Ipod. It was usable before going to that shop.
So I decided to give it a try and try to change it myself. I'm a programmer with what can be called poor electronic and hardware skills. So if I was able to do it, and you were able to find this post, you can replace it too. But after seeing some videos I had more confidence on my skills than of those repair specialists that were not careful with the other device.
First I found a clip on youtube about why you CAN'T change only the glass on S2. But I found also the above video with a interesting method, but it required a Molybdenum string that I couldn't found at a good price. Actually I believe that the shipment to Romania made the price to high for the string.
After researching I found the SOLUTION: on a page or youtube clip about how to remove the broken glass. But I've lost the link. Anyway, the procedure was simple. I remember that the video was about replacing the glass on a Galaxy S3.
So I ordered the replacement glass and some adhesive (finally not used) from ebay.
After I got the replacement parts, I opened the phone, you can find somewhere online the instructions how to do it.
For removal I used a pack of plastic poker card. It's needed something to not be to hard to scratch the digitizer, but hard enough to remove the broken pieces of glass.
I started removing the pieces around the Home button to get a feel of the process, and proceeded to remove all the pieces of glass and glue. It took around 3 hours to finish it and 48 cards. You need to lift the broken pieces with great attention and patience. It's not a hard job, but it takes time. Maybe with a hot gun is easier to remove, but when I received the replacement I was anxious to start and did not wait to procure one. During the whole process I kept the phone started to be sure that I did not broke the screen. In case of possible breakage or of a bad scratch I thought that I don't need to continue the procedure. Maybe is not recommended to keep it running, but it gave me a positive feedback that everything is ok.
After removing all the pieces of glass and glue I was able to see some fine scratches with a black background. I used some dust removing solution and then I attached the new glass. I only fitted the new glass on the place and I believe there were some glue left on edges that keep it in place because I did not added any other glue and it did not moved until now. With the new glass the scratches from the digitizer are not visible at all. And the phone works as new, the touchscreen was not damaged at all.
So it's completely possible to replace it.
Before fitting the new glass the cleaned touchscreen was like the touchscreen on S4: it was only needed to hoover with a finger at some distance above, but not touching . I remember that the replacement of my glass was before the release of S4 and when I found about this feature I knew that I already had something like this on my S2.
I don't remember having any other difficulties during the replacement except the removal of broken glasses. And I used this phone continuously without problems since.
Only last night the phone stopped charging and I had to replace the charging port, flex ribbon; but it was not related to glass replacement.
I don't remember if it was needed to open the phone for glass replacement because I opened it when it broke to inspect it and I opened it also few time since then for various tasks.
The total price of replacement parts was below 10$, with glass, screen protector and adhesive ordered from ebay. I ordered also a case to protect the edges for future dropping and was a smart investment. The pack of cards I had from poker set, but It shouldn't be so expensive.
Success with your replacement.

Don't try this at home kids...
I now back to my desire z after the galaxy screen is toast. JUST the heating alone destroyed it. ... Now gonna buy the LCD/screen assembly and do it right.
Sent from my Desire Z using xda app-developers app
if you are not a technician, I suggest you give it to someone REALLY capable of, what do you mean it is not at all easy and the risk of doing damage is very high.
Otherwise follow the advice that was given to you, buy the whole block
Necro thread, but I agree, it is not worth doing so. In order to be done properly, you need to have a very thin wire to separate the two pieces. Not something i would do myself. Much better to replace the whole assembly instead.

Hello All,
Just recently dropped my screen for AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The phone still works but has cracks everyone. I was wondering if anyone has attempted to change just the screen itself, if so, where did you buy the screen from and what tools did you use? Also, what is the metal frame around the phone called and is it possible to get it replaced? Thank you and have a nice day!

If you are talking about the glass then I just replaced mine about a week ago. I actually ordered a replacement in white instead of the grey that I have. I used a hair dryer, hobby knife kit (only to start the edges), and the tools that came with the glass. It cost about $30 and an hour of your time. The only problem I had was getting the glass to stick with the old tape. A good reference are the videos for replacing the Galaxy S3 glass.
Do not push to hard when putting the new screen in place, you will break the digitizer if you do. I did find that if you have a completely broken screen and its showing black, the s-pen seems to still work fine and can make the phone function. I am assuming that the 11pin port will also push video to a tv with the screen broken and the phone can be used that way also if needed (will test and let you know).

How hard was it to do a replacement on the screen glass itself? and is it easy to do a bezel replacement?

You replaced the glass for the Note 2? Yes I am just talking about the glass itself. Do you have a link to where you bought the item and any link to videos you used to assist you in replacing the glass? Thank you so much for all your help!

I purchased the glass off of ebay, I cant post a link due to not having enough post here, but just search "galaxy note 2 replacement glass"
I looked at a bunch of Galaxy S3 glass replacement videos. just search "s3 glass replacement" on youtube.
It is time consuming, I used a hair dryer to be safe because heat guns get too hot if not careful.
I did get a chance to test if the 11pin still pushed video to a tv with a broken screen (using an MHL adapter). It did not for me. I plugged a phone in with a broken digitizer that the s pen still worked on and would let me make calls from. The phone is still function able, just no picture on the screen (working in the dark with the s-pen). Nothing showed up on the tv screen. I plugged another note 2 in to verify and the other note 2 pushed video just fine.
What's the easiest way to tell if I just need to replace the glass versus the entire digitizer?
Glass replacement
Ok for every thread on the internet the digitizer is NOT part of the glass. The glass is just that......glass. Stop calling it a digitizer these are not iPhones!!!!!! The digitizer is laid on top of the amoled and has a connector that runs under the display and plugs in there with a flip type switch connector. The glass can be removed with heat approx. 160 deg with a heat gun on low and keeping track of the temp with a infrared thermo. I've done this a few times now be careful with white as these tend to break easier than the grey not sure why laminate must be weaker. Takes 45mins to do. You can buy the glass for approx. $25 shipped be careful near the bottom with the button flex they are glued on. You must reuse your speaker trim and button trim also. I have only 1 single question can you buy a replacement digitizer by itself without having to buy the amoled? Anyone know and how much they are please point me to one for the i317m.
Why the are you answering a 3 month old thread?

Hi everyone,
First, I hope there's not another thread opened about this, I promise I did several searches and couldn't find one that was close enough
I have some question about screen replacement.
My dad just dropped his note 2 and damaged the screen (really unfortunate, it was really a little drop!), so I was looking into buying a screen from eBay and replace it myself. yes, it's tricky, but not all that much imo (big +1 to the guy from the YT channel LE55ONS, his videos about this kind of stuff are amazingly well done).
So, the screen is broken, the display is not, but if I bring the phone to the rapair guy he will almost certainly replace the screen and the display for €200+
If I buy something like this
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40
and replace it myself I can do the whole thing and spend some €50 tops.
I was thinking about this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gray-Front-O...item3a7dc376c5
Here come the questions. Can anyone point me towards a good screen replacement for something around $20/30? Is the quality good? I asked the seller if it is actually gorilla glass 2 and he said yes.
Also, these don't have any connectors, the original one has 2. I can always use the connectors from the old screen, but if someone knows about a screen with connectors included, can they please let me know? There's nothing like asking to someone who has already done something like what I'm about to do.
Thank you everyone
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. In my Note II is is bonded with transparent gum covering the entire LCD. No way to replace only the digitizer.

If you buy the digitizer with the screen attached that's sooo much easier to replace, it's almost not even risky. But it costs somewhere around $200, the same as having it repaired by a professionist. Did you find a cheaper replacement?
Hi, guys I have a question about the galaxy note 5 N920A. Is the display or should I say the digitizer screen is a two separate part?
My galaxy note 5 has a crack above and on top of the home button. the display and touch LCD works just fine without any kind of problems whatsoever. the only problem is that the crack seems to be spreading just like a crack windshield, which would soon look like a spider web. I would like to replace the crack plastic without changing the whole display screen:fingers-crossed:
I have check online for the display and to my dismayed the price is something I would like to ventured into. I also did further research and found quite a few which is describe as a panel screen for the display for only $10. So I am kind of confuse could this be also consider to be a tamper glass protector? Need advice please before I buy something that I might regret later on, since I am no novice with phone parts.
Thank you.

Hopefully you got your answer as its been a couple years since you asked, in case you didn't or anyone else thats curious about this, I recently replaced the screen on a Note 5, so have a bit of experience with it.
First to answer your question, a LCD screen and a tempered glass screen protector are 2 very different things. An screen is standard on every phone and is generally what you'd replace when your screen is cracked. On the other hand, a tempered glass screen protector is something you'd get and apply onto your phone's screen to protect it from hard drops onto the cement. They're quite effective depending on various factors but I definitely recommend them, if your screen is flat like the Note 5. Rounded edges screens like the S6 Edge thru S9, though tempered glass are available, reviews show they aren't nearly as effective, due to the "curved" wrap around edges, unfortunately.. Tempered glass screens have saved me a few times, after dropping my device, only the glass screen protector cracked, the phones LCD screen was undamaged. Tore off the cracked glass, $15 later, had a new on there. Small investment for the protection it gives, doubt a screen replacement will ever be around $15-20..
BTW, the Note 5s LCD screen is glass (Gorilla Glass 3, I think?) not plastic, as you mentioned..
Onto the bigger question, if you Google search "Note 5 teardown" you'll find quite a few tutorials w/ pics that breakdown the process, towards the end of them, after they've separated the LCD, you'll notice on back of it, there's a few small components, still attached. All of the teardowns, only mention the remaining removal difficulty is 5/5, the adhesive holding the screen much stronger than the LCD glass itself, though none have attempted the work..
Searching for LCD's on eBay, there's many listings of only the clear LCD glass, nothing else on back of it, which leads me to believe it is possible to do, but whoever attempts this may be the first and only one to have documented it.
If the pro's are semi-sketched from trying it, then, I'll trust their opinion, when replacing a friends Note 5 screen, we found a parts only device and did the swap, complete with all the little components on back.
I still have the rest of the parts, but it had water damage, so logic board is fried.
If anyone needs any other parts, PM me.
