I dropped my G7 a while back and the front glass got a small crack at the corner. Everything works fine, but the crack bothers me. Has anyone attempted to fix a cracked screen? If so, where did you get the replacement screen, and for how much?

Hello.
Today my Desire slipped off the cover, and fell onto concrete floor.
Result - Cracked screen, scratches on the front panel. The back panel is intact.
Touchscreen seems to be working fine in every part of the display, and AMOLED itself seems to be OK - cant see any damage through the broken glass.
I guess that it's the protective glass broken, not the screen itself?
The main impact was on the corner.
So a question - could somebody suggest, where could I buy front panel replacement, with the protective glass?
I would like to hear any suggestions.
Thanks.

You mean, that it's not the protective screen, but the digitizer?
Well, I'm no expert on this...
But since the Desire has a capacitive touchscreen panel, I assumed this must be the top layer....
Okay, today i've recieved my new toucscreen.
Installed, and everything seems to work fine, but.
It is kinda bugged - sometimes it changes screens spontaneously, in some places it dont respond on my touch.
I dont know what to do now, any suggestions?
Hey people!
Ive recently put the weight of a couch on the screen of my phone. My screen was already cracked from a previous drop but everything looked fine still.
After putting that much weight on my screen, half my screen is permanently black unless I put pressure near the bottom of my phone. It somehow releases the blackness temporarily.
My question is [Q] do I need to replace just the screen or did I screw up something else as well?
TIA
I have the same problem with my screen now. To fix it you need a new LCD. The cracked up front part is called the digitizer and you might as well replace them both together now. Only problem is to find out if you have a wide or slim LCD connecter cable and there's no way to tell until your phone is disassembled. Good luck!

Hey guys,
So it's a long story, but my phone dropped, and the shiny glass screen we have cracked from the top left corner, the screen works fine, I can see everything, the touchscreen still functions perfectly, To be honest I don't even notice it anymore, but everyone keeps annoying me to fix it, so does anyone know where I could find a replacement, and a I guide to put it on cause I couldn't find one.
Thanks,

Hey All.
Been using nexus 7 2013 since last 2 years. My nephew dropped it and the screen cracked from the side. The device is working fine. The touch doesn't work at the the area of the cracks on the top right, and a few other places. But works everywhere else on the screen. My question is what has to be replaced, the digitizer or the entire LCD. My personal diagnoses is only the upper glass needs to be replaced. Please advice further!
Digitizer is for $15 and the whole thing is for $50. What has to be replaced and how to find out?
Please see the pictures and help me please
Unless you have a way of separating the glass/digitizer from the actual lcd you need the whole assembly. It's all glued together you can't just lift off the glass.

You'd be much better off replacing the whole assembly. Separating the digitizer from the lcd can be done, but the problem is with locating a digitizer that works. I've tried this for about 5 times, and each time I had to return the digitizer to the vendor.
Also, since the bezel (frame) is designed so the digitizer back always touches the lcd surface (they are glued together on the original assembly), you'll have those strange "rainbow" spots on them when the device is turned off.
Not to mention that if you use an adhesive that's too thin, there's a chance the digitizer might be bent, not enough to crack it, but enough to distort touch sensitivity, resulting in some spots being unresponsive. In short, too much of a hassle for a 30-buck saving.
Hi folks.
I've cracked the screen of my LG G3 and want to give one of the 'screen replacement' kits from eBay a go.
However, how can I tell if my digitizer is deffinitely broken as well?
There is one big crack from the top to the bottom of my screen, about 3/4 of the way across from the left of the device. Everything to the left of the crack (most of the screen) works fine, whereas everything to the right is unresponsive. Does this sound like the digitizer if broken as well, or is the cracked glass just prohibiting it from recognizing the touches?
The LCD it's self appears completely undamaged.
Does it sound like I need to just try replace the glass, or should I probably be looking for a glass+digitizer kit replacement?
Thanks everyone!
Well I feel stupid.
After doing a bit more research I've found out that the digitizer basically is the glass, so I can't replace one without the other - so it was a pointless question
