Where to buy Genuine replacemtn part ?
How hard to repair?
I highly doubt youll be able to find a genuine part, i bought an ebay "oem genuine" and its not original but its good enough. I would remove the whole plastic back to the phone since removing the broken glass is a pain and you dont want to damage the cameras. Its also not a bad idea to heat up the broken glass to soften the adhesive when removing it.
Genuine glass shatters. Fake ones don't. No reason to look for the genuine one.
https://globaldirectparts.com has them.

I assume the piece of glass exposed on the back of the phone is not the actual lens and i just a glass cover. Is it possible to replace this? And is there any good cover to protect it? I just noticed there's already several scratches on the glass. Was wondering if i could easily replace it and also if there was something i could do to protect in the future.
I'd prefer not getting a whole case if possible.
I believe it is a plastic cover, and I have seen replacment ones for sale on the internet, they are a plastic circle with a black ring printed on it.
I believe the price was somewhat high for what it is, like $15-20.
thanks, i think i found it:

Mines broke and it's glass not plastic. I think the replacements are plastic.
Sent while sitting on the toilet.
I read somewhere that you can go somewhere that processes camera film and get some used disposable cameras for free, and that the lenses from those will fit perfect on the evo. There was a wright up on it i think here at xda.
A friend of mine dropped her Defy on to a stone floor from a few feet.
The screen broke with several cracks from the impact point. Strangely, the phone still works fine although it's a little uncomfortable swiping across the cracks!
I thought these phones used gorilla glass? Is that not the case?
Wasn't there a vid of a Defy being run over on Youtube?
Very disappointing and worrying seeing as I got my GF one for Christmas based on its ruggedness.
Regards,
Richard
PS It was a T-Mob UK version that broke if that makes any difference.
I've seen such a video which featured the Defy being run over and still working, although the screen was pretty smashed...
I've read a few reports elsewhere of screens breaking from relatively small drops. I guess they are ruggeder than most, but not all that...
Gorilla Glass isn't indestructible, just more resistant to it than regular glass. Even in this marketing video the screen was cracked (although still intact enough to resist the water attack afterwards)
You can probably get a replacement glass facing from Motorola. Well they must have quite a few spares around given the hubbub with the failed earpieces (that needs a full glass replacement)
So... any one got an idea as to how difficult it is to swap the glass?

Personally I wouldn't try to change the glass myself due to the water tight seal.
Take it to your dealer and let them deal with it. Even if they charge you for the work it might be worth it not voiding the warranty.

Good point!
Hope my friend has got some good phone insurance!
Replace broken glass
Here is a video clip of me trying to replace a broken glass. The first part is only the disassemble. Check youtube for more.
Good effort!
It looks like getting the glass out of the front cover is quite hard. I was sure you were going to cut yourself...
Where did you source the replacement glass from? Did it come in a kit with the glue etc.?
R.
Gorilla glass is scratch resistant not shatter proof, there is a massive difference.
Well it wasn't that hard. I found the replacement glass on ebay, search for defy digitizer. Unfortunately there was no adhesive included so the final result was not so very nice. The new glass got a bit dirty from the adhesive I used. Here you can se the final result and the assemble:
The OEM adhesive is available from globaldirectparts, however you have to buy 5pcs minimum. At $5, it's affordable, but not cheap considering it's only a really thin piece of sticky foam. On other forums, people have used silicone-based glue, still maintaining waterproofness.
Many Broken screens
I've broken my motorola defy screen a few times, and collected experiences on www.motoroladefy.eu
vids for how to fix and links to the parts I ordered that worked.
If you go for display with front cover, don't forget to move the earpiece!
Hi guys,
So unfortunately I cracked my Note 2's front screen by accident, and now I'm trying to see if I can replace it.
It's just the front glass, not the actual inner screen.
I just have one question, I found many front glass replacements online on Amazon and ebay, but are those actually Gorilla Glass 2 like the original or that is simply not possible and they are all just "normal" glass?
This seller here:
eby.co.uk/itm/200899972266?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619
Replied to me and said that it is Gorilla Glass because "normal" glass cannot be used.
Other sellers on ebay said that it's normal glass.
I have already ordered this one from Amazon though (hasn't arrived yet):
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A2IAUWS/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Any opinions from people with more experience than me? is it true that there is no "normal" glass actually and it must be Gorilla Glass 2 anyway? or they are all just normal glass because you can't get the original one (unless you get it from another defective unit I guess)?
Cheers
yes it is..
hi mate.. i have thesame problem.. i was so drunk and my note 2 fell off from my hand while txting.. and that stupidity coasts me 30 bucks! i got a front glass replacement from UK (same link u have). i did it on my own and it's been a couple of months now since i've replaced it.. seems like it's gorilla glass since i'm not using any screen protectors and it didn't get any scratches.. but i doubt that it's an OEM.. and one thing by the way.. i've applied it by myself and i tried to use my S-pen.. for some reason it's not working.. so please send me a reply if ur S-pen works after the front glass replacement.. thanks!
Hi, I have just replaced glass on S3. On eBay there are two glasses, one with Samsung name on and one without. I made sure I got one with Samsung name on and the markings on the back are very similar to the one I took off. I suspect therefore it is Samsung original.
Also I stuffed the first time and had to take the new one off again and do it again. I gave it quite a beating doing this, so I think it would have to be gorilla glass ...ordinary glass would have broken for sure.
Some eBay sellers state 'original glass' so I think if the name is on it you are pretty safe.

Can i use glass from GT-N7100 on note2 GT-N7105 is that posable
My first choice to getting any parts is from etradesupply. I've bought a housing from there and it was just like the original. Also you won't find actual OEM parts, however what you will find is parts that are up to OEM quality standards. Just make sure you have a hair dryer or preferably a heat gun before trying to take out the front glass.

Hello,
I have also cracked glas. :crying::crying::crying:
Replacing was not the problem, by heating with support of some videos.
I tried new one on it, but there is no touchfunction, only SPen is working.
The double sided glue tape is only at the outdside area. Is that ok or should
there something between screen and glas ?
Do you have a set of glue tape and glas, where you know it is working good ?
Need your help very soon....many thanks in advance !!!!
best regards huggy2008
Has anyone thought about using OEM glass replacement as screen protector? I was thinking perhaps use LOCA glue to lay it down on existing glass. I mean, it's got a perfect fit and strong as the original. But I started wondering how it will affect the touch sensitivity, camera, sensors and case fitment.
I was searching for protector for N8 and came across a product that is basically that but with cutouts for sensors so it got me thinking. The cheapest glass replacement for N8 is currently $30 on Amazon so that's not too bad considering the alternative. As long as the glue can be removed with heat, I don't see why I should spend $15 or more for something worse. And I don't think it will be too difficult to squeeze out the glue to thinnest without introducing bubble since they are perfect fit. Curves are nice but it's PIA to protect it...
What do you guys think?
So I need to replace the rear glass on my G7, it is not broken but is badly scratched (just me being a total idiot!)
I have ordered 2 replacement OEM backs which should arrive later this week but having watched the videos I am now wondering if it is good idea trying this myself? I am reasonably proficient but from googling it seems that getting the FPS to work may be as issue after?
Also the backs I ordered are OEM ones but it seems they do not come with any adhesive, I asked the seller and they said no adhesive is included, this does strike me as strange as I was expecting it to be pre-applied but I guess the seller knows better than I do! I can get some adhesive tape easily enough but then it gets fiddly with the risk I guess of messing up the water-proofing so I am now wondering is putting a skin on may be the lazier but easier option.
Anybody on here replaced the back themselves?
hi, i think that you have to lost the water protection with only normal tape or glue. I've found on internat "Rear Battery Door Cover Repair Tape ZVRT208" i think that is the tape that you need
Update, I did it ok and it was really easy actually. My only regret is a got some minor marks on the edge from the initial leavering so I'd advise anyone to just try and use something plastic rather than metal for that bit.
Not too bad though and overall it looks great now.
