Rolled over on the phone while working on the car and cracked my display.
Thank god it still works, display and touch.
Do I just need the "digitizer" or is there a plastic screen piece that covers it?

I bought a att tilt used with a broken screen. Thing is the lcd screen looks fine as in i can see the hole screen(no broken pixels or anything). But it seems its cracked below the front glass as i cant feel the cracks. So basically I am asking if the only parts to the display are the lcd screen and the touch screen and the front glass? Cause since it doesn't seem the lcd screen is broke no reason to buy both. And wondering if the touch screen and front glass are two different pieces also.
Thanks for any help.
thanks for the help ...............
You only need the touch panel but you will need to solder 4 end of touch on screen. Also, use 4 scrooves method as it is quicker and faster to get to the screen.
the whole screen can be easily replaced for about $60 for a new screen. just need to disassemble the Tilt, there is a guide around here somewhere on how to do it.
So I dropped my Tilt today and there are several big cracks through the glass front. The phone works fine and I think the LCD screen is alright. I think the cracks are just in the glass part and the LCD is fine but I cant tell. One thing for sure is that the touch response is all messed up and I can't align it. I see digitizers on ebay for cheap. Is that the glass part that is cracked? Can I just get that or do I need a whole screen assembly?
Thanks
I tried to change digitizer but it is a mess you need to weld it to the display and it is not so easy (I'm not an electronic technician), additionally it comes sticked all around the display border so it is hard to clean the display boundary to stick the new digitizer and also it is hard to remove the old digitizer because it is to weak to remove it in one piece. For this reason, at least for my experience, I rather prefer to change the display and digitizer together so you don't have to fight with the removal, welding and sticking the new digitizer. Hope help you take decission.
is there anyway to fix the glass from lifting off the lcd ,it looks like there is some kind of double sided tape or something ,the touch screen is also not functioning properly any help would be greatly appreciated
Unless there's signs of abuse (dropped or water) I'd say it's warranty time.

If you can snap a pic of the defect I can be of some help. The digitizer / lcd assembly is very delicate, the glass screen is glued with the digitizer but can be correctable if for some reason the glass does come loose. The manufacturing of the housing on the vivid im my honest opinion is very cheap.
youll need to invest in one of these

This will allow you to reglue the loose seam on the glass, but will require you to detach the glass completely and clean off any existing residue.
Make sure you buy the blue one, works like a charm for all the fixes ive experienced regarding loosened screens.
PM me if you have any questions
Any possible to share a close picture?
Guys,
I broke my screen, the LCD is good but the digitizer doesn't work. Aparently, this phone works differently from olders phones in which you can replace only the digitizer, but not this one since are fused together.
My question are:
Where can I buy one that WILL work? (i bought one in ebay and was faulty)
Will any LG G2 screen fit the VS980 (D805, D802, etc)?
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks!

If you haven't already got one, you can get it at repairsuniverse - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/lg-g2-lcd-touch-screen-digitizer-replacement-black-verizon.html
The repair is a little delicate in that you have to completely disassemble the phone and pry the screen out. You don't need a proper heat gun, a hair dryer will work just fine. One problem to be aware of: the screen really needs to fit flush against things otherwise the proximity sensor (top left of screen) will think that something is near it all the time and will make the screen turn off and you'll struggle to get it on again. They supply you with double-sided tape and it sorta-kinda works if you're careful. Pro tip: don't do what I did and unseat the newly-installed screen without heating it - you'll damage the screen. Also, superglue seems to do bad things to the screen. I now have a fully functioning digitizer with a screen that looks like hell. YMMV.
I am also in the same boat, having dropped it this past weekend. LCD works, not digitizer.
Any thoughts on replacing just the digitizer/glass vs. getting the whole assembly with the LCD? Seems significantly more dificult, considering the heat gun/glue assembly and only about a $30 difference between the two methods based on ebay prices.

Any suggestions on getting this LCD vs. one from ebay that is also pre-attached to the frame and comes with tools? They seem identical otherwise.
Hi,
I have some experience since I replaced twice mine lol xD
There're no good quality screens (they are all copies, no OEM screens) and all 3 that I got from 3 differentes vendors suffers from yellowish spot on the lower left corner (its not my phone that has an issue, one screen actually was a phone that I bought on ebay and had the screen replaced and still suffered from that) and others from misalignment. Here's a pic that I had to send to an ebay seller to prove them that their screens were ****:

And got the money back at least.
The digitizer and the lcd are fused, so if you try with digitizer/glass and screen apart, you'll have to buy optical glue in order to fuse them, if not you'll end up with two things glued together that looks awful.
If you go with the whole assembly, its luck to have one that works, so you'll have to be patient and asume that you may receive an awful screen. Luckly, ebay protect you, so if you're not in a hurry you can test until you grab the working one.
Any question if I can help, just le met know.
In trying to remove a glass screen protector I needed to heat up the glass to soften the glue, however I heated it too much and melted the digitizer (the screen now is unusable and gold/brown coloured) - yeah I know, stupid :silly:.
Anyway, the watch works fine and does the start up/shut down vibrations when you hold the button etc so I know it is just the screen digitizer that I need. I need a broken watch with a working screen to transplant my working components with. These do not come up on ebay so I thought I would check on here if anyone has a dead watch I can buy for about £10-£15 + shipping, I only need the front assembly that has the screen on it. I understand the urbane has the same screen, so that would be a possibility?
