Hello everybody,
I'm new in this forum, I would have a question about my smartphone (Honor 9).
Some days ago I bought a full coverage glass screen protector (sorry, but the forum doesn't allow me to paste the URL).
I installed it today; the procedure went right, there are no bubbles and the glass is centered, but I have a doubt.
In all Youtube videos that I watched before the installation, the glass screen protectors seem held on the screen by the "vacuum effect" (sorry, I don't know the right english word) and NOT by a glue. As a consequence, the removal procedure is quite easy.
The problem is that on my screen protector there is a very strong glue on the blue edges.
So, my question is: is the presence of this glue normal? If I will need to remove the glass in future, will I have problems?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english.
Best regards.

Hey guys,
I have a Xperia Arc that took a tumble out of my pocket yesterday evening while I was visiting a friend out in the country side. His drive way is all gravel and scratched up the screen with tiny hairline scratches. Is it possible to buff these out? If so what kind of tools or supplies would I need ? Possible to get a replacement digitizer? the screen functions perfectly and the scratches arn't deep but I'd like it to look good to keep up the resale value. I know I'm going to get lectured here about how "you should have had a screen protector on it", I did have one on until recently and even had a case still on the body.
If anyone is able to help me or knows where I can get it replaced near where I am, I live in Chateauguay, Quebec Canada
Thanks in advance!
did u remove the preapplied shattered proof sp? by default se put one on ur screen unless u already removed that also..
Id also like to know if theres any tip how to remove scratches.
There's a factory applied screen protector, just remove that you're scratch free.

Yes, try removing the factory screen protector first, and if there are still some scratches, you can go to an automotive store and try looking for plastic polish products, but NOT scratch fillers. I use this (http://www.bestplasticcleaner.com/) on my car's headlights, it's a very fine plastic polish, and might buff out small scratches, but if you can feel it with your finger nail, it's probably too deep.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to just replace the whole digitizer / screen assembly , which isn't too hard, but might be a bit expensive.
check out this XDA post for removing your screen.... i think somebody in there posted a place to buy replacement parts if you do need it...

the above is for the digitizer w/glass - the below is for glass ONLY

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.

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, so here is my problem:
I have cracked my cornin gorilla glass , which i droped from from less then 1meter... such a nonsence since my last phone galaxy s was droped a dozen times and not a single crack, but that is not the point.
So now i have cracked glass, but digitizer touch, and lcd works fine, i have ordered a replacement glass. Only one thing bothers me, now in those places where crack had appeared there are yellow dots , not very bright and in other collors like black red you cant see them, only in white blue and yellow.
I know that these dots came from a presure, so my question is will they disapear if i will remove the cracked screen as it can keep the presure on them, and should i do it urgent or i can wait for my replacement and then remove it ? becouse basicaly i need the phone to use it, but if in case it will damage my phone to the stage when those dots will not disapear i will not risk it.
What suggestion can you tell me ?
Kind regards
You'll be lucky to separate the glass from the LCD, I'm afraid.

Well this did not answear my question
Ok, I'll try again. Removing the cracked glass is likely to destroy your LCD.

well the question was about the yellow dots, how to remove the glass i watched on youtube and it is easy, just need to give some heat to make glue more flexible and it will easily pop off.

You can't replace the front glass alone without destroying the LCD. Yellow spots will be the least of your worries believe me. Do let us know how you get on.

well i will get my glass in 2 weeks, so will write you of my progress later, but i would like to know will those spots dissapear if everything will go well, or should i order a new lcd... the dots are not so big but still.
About a year ago I dropped my Dell streak from around 30cm. Because of the way it landed this cracked the gorilla glass.
So I ordered just the glass part, as like yourself the rest worked fine.
I stripped it down and took the screen out then set about separating the glass from the screen. I also did as you have and watched various YouTube vids to assist this.
Let me tell you, from my experience it was 2 hours down the pan. I did get the glass off, after much pulling, tugging, wiggling, heating and cooling. Only to find in the process that the actual screen underneath had ended up only fit for the bin. So I had to order the full assembly instead, this was fitted no problem.
Just my opinion though, if you want to tackle it go ahead, its your phone.
As for the yellow dots, can't help you on that I'm afraid.

Hi
just need to know whether Arc S has a built in screen guard from the company or not !
cuz from the beginning m not using any protection as i see an edge around the corners that reflects the dual surface, which i believe is the original protector !
plz help as i want to put a guard now as i see sme minor scratches which are alarming !
awaiting reply
Yep the phone comes with 'mineral-resistant screen'. However it is best to put another screen protector on it just to be on the safe side I have a mirrored one
thnx ! but if that mineral protector is somehow peeled off ! is it bad ? cuz i did that deliberately !

Really? At least on my phone I even did not try because it looks like almost as its fixed there and cant be peeled.
Mine as well didn't last long.. In just couple of days air bubbles started to breed between the screen and the protector! I had to take it off and apply a new one (you can buy in mobile shops)
A good tip is to make sure there's absolutely no dust on the screen before you start applying the protector
Stock protector is applied so precisely and is so sticky that it's almost impossible to "accidentally" remove it. So I don't know how did you manage to do that, really.
Also, can someone explain to me how is it possible for bubbles to start appearing under screen protector all by themselves, for no reason??? Some new laws of physics maybe, or...?
Unfortunately I managed to get a scratch on the glass, wright in the middle just after 2 days. It is somehow visible with screen off and under light. It is more annoying knowing it is there rather than feeling it by touch or spen.
Question: it is possible to change only the glass (I have found it on amazon) just like for galaxy S3 ??
PS I can't post the url for the S3 guide on youtube...
