[BIG PROBLEM , SCREWED?]Screen Defect

Hello,
Well , I have a big problem with my SGS at the moment , the problem is that my screen is defect. Well , the screen still works as it should(touch , thank god) but I has alot of big scratches.
Believe it or not , but I dropped my sgs like 3 times before on 1 meter height on hard underground , It survived without scratches , btw I dont know if it did land on the screen so maybe thats the reason why my screen survived before. But today i was sitting and I had the phone in my pocket and when I wanted to stand up it dropped out of my pocket on the ground , from 0,5 meters height on a soft floor(carpet) but I discovered those big scratches and I was shocked
/Now the important part , is there any way to repair this???
By putting new glass on the screen or something? Maybe there is someone who experienced the same and knows how and where it got repaired?
Thanks in advance,
Picture of the state of my screen in attachments , sorry for the vga webcam quality.

Looks like the glass got shattered.
There would be no way to fix a Crack or a Scratch. You will have to replace the Digitizer and Display.

Dude, that's why you should use screen protector on it.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry man. Some people just wouldn't use screen protector, but 1-5€ could have saved you from this.

'Defect' LOL. My car was 'defective' after I wrapped it around a telephone pole.
Would a screen protector prevent a shatter like that? Perhaps to a limited extent but I though they were mainly for scratches.
I do my SGS bareback. No significant scratches yet, I think last time I cleaned the screen up and looked really close I could see one tiny line.
I've dropped once onto pavement (dented the bezel) and once on a wood floor (flew out of my hand as I whipped it out and bounced across the room lol).

Sorry sir , if your screen(or glass whatever)is shattered. In fact , its also defect. 1. a lack of something necessary for completeness or perfection; shortcoming; deficiency
But who cares?
Looks like these general subboard is full of trolls , I'm asking for advice where and how to repair your screen when its in a state like this? All I get is people who try to act smart or whatever you wanna call it.

Thanks , never thought of looking @ assecories bord xD

You could try and replace it yourself which is probably cheaper or you can ring samsung and tell them what happened and have them replace it/send a new phone for you. Obviously it would cost you.

@dehem333
Very sad to hear that loss...
I have no idea how to fix it. But I pray that it gets fixed someway.
Wish u best of luck!

Well just replacing the glass is not gonna work because the touch digitizer and the glass are like one. So you,ll have to buy it completely new. Also its not easy to replace it. Its glued together. Youll need to be handy.
If your buying off ebay make sure its an amoled screen. Alot of lcds on ebay.

[Q] screen protector

Ok been using a screen protector for a week now and the pen has scratched the hell out of it so my question is why lol and is any body else got this problem. IF not what ones did you buy mines where cheap so I'm hoping that's the reason.

I'm using my note without any screen protector. Not a single screach yet.
Search the forum. There is plenty of posts in this topic. Go to accessories section.
As xda always says "search, search, search before posting. "
Cheers

Yeah I know lol was just curious as my screen its a mess just glad its on the protector

Its tru i see lines n dents on the protector but mine comes from draw something

Wow... U must have some really bad screen protector.
I bought a pack of 10 off ebay for about 10 dollars, my intention was to use these to learn how to apply a screen guard properly first and then buy a relatively expensive quality screen guard later but surprisingly I never had to buy again, cuz those dirt cheap screen protectors have lasted till now with no scratches even after using stylus extensively. I have about 6 more left ( first 3 had big ass bubbles/dust in it after application)
Maybe Iam simply lucky to have found a good seller

How durable is galaxy mini 2

I would say that its quite sufficient for a low end device with medium usage of daily stuff.... and the pricing also quite afordable...

If you buy back cover and screen protector it's pretty durable and it should be much safer than without thoose stuff. Also without thoose stuff you can keep it in pocket with some keys and screen should be without stratches (just like mine). Only sctratch on screen which I got is from night kick out of my desk (IDK how that happend but I find phone in morning on edge of table with small and invisible stracth)

its quite a DAWG, i've been using it for at least half a year now (with a screen protectore of course) and there were a few falls, yet is one of the best phones i had

Hi!
I have a mini 2 for 1 year now. The first thing I did was to get me a set of screen protectors and a silicone case.
I must say the ****er has fallen a couple of times and the screen protector is scratched like hell. Works like a charm.
I really need to swap the screen protector lol.
But if you don't want to use a silicone gel case, you might brake your phone on the 1st fall.
Take care.

Cracked glass replacement

Hello,
I need to replace a galaxy s5830 glass, but I am confused about digitizer, is the digitizer connected to the glass? or it's separated from the glass and connected to the lcd like in Galaxy s3? or I really have no idea about neither, and even in the galaxy s3 the digitizer is not connected to the LCD?
Anyway, I was thinking of buying a digitizer+glass together but I didnt know how to glue it, will that be ok?

Thanks all :cyclops:

I also cracked mine. as far as I know the Digitizer and glass is the same thing and not connected to the LCD. Please help us understand someone....

Yep, I think that each phone has a different construction method. some phones have glass and digitizer together, like the s5830, some have digitizer and LCD together like galaxy s3.
but still, I need to find the materials to get a proper adhesion, I want it to be very similiar to the original.
Do I need LOCA too? or double sided tape is enough?
can I use one of these instead?http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-for-Samsung-S5830-Galaxy-Ace-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Adhesive-Sticker-ZVRT005-/300630210770?pt=US_Other_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item45fef4f8d2

I know there are some videos but none of them actually discuss the adhesive =/ or at least no one says how is the feeling of the touch after replacing to a new screen without applying LOCA.
*Hey, is it possible to use OCA instead of LOCA (non-liquid clear adhesive? or I'd better use the liquid one)
Thanks!

Always try looking in the comments section -_- they discuss there

Screen protector does not work :(

Hey guys, I have a problem. I use on Gear screen protector from one of my previous phone One X (nilkin). I cut small square for the gear but after one hour I find out that the screen protector is no there .
So, I was thinking that the screen protector is maybe old and does not work, so yesterday I damaged my second original Samsung Galaxy Note3 screen protector and everything looks okay. But today the screen saver is not there anymore
Any solution? These screensaver should be really good, on my phone always work very well. I am really dissapointed because screen protector from Samsung was not cheap.

I also had the same problem, first I cut one from my old S2, shifted past a few hours. So I order two from a german suplier on ebay specific to the gear, and the same problem past few hours.
The problem is in the glass of the Gear being curved.

may not be as effective as a plastic one, but it's invisible and it's working so far. Use ot on my note 3 as well.

So are you without screen protector like me?

For now yes, but I think I will give a try to liquid-kristal, tks for sharing Thelestat . Should give some extra protection, with the advantage of being completely invisible.
I've heard some reports of gear's whith Glass scratched on the wrist. Must be due to some clothes we wear.

Dry screen protectors will fall off. It s meant for straight flush glass only. I just cut out any wet screen Protector and it works well for the glass and metal. Xtremeguard has 80% off their website.

I purchased screen savers for my Gear from a company selling on Amazon.de. I have had no end of problems trying to convince this company that though the quality of the screen saver is great the point is it will not remain on the Gear, as people above have already mentioned, the body and glass are curved. What happens is the stiffness of the saver results in both ends of the saver sticking up, getting caught on clothes and coming away.
The only solution I can think of is for a manufacturer to produce a thinner protector that will bend to shape and remain stuck to the screen?
The company I purchased from requested photos and goodness knows what. I just filled a claim with Amazon.de and got my money back. I am not going to do the R&D for the company! I bought three of them as in general screen savers can, on times, be a devil to fit.
The glass will and does scratch so take care.
Kind regards.

Did you apply to the gear camera and the metal frame as well?

I did apply to the camera, did not think to do the metal frame.

If your cutting it out of another type, I found you need to round the edges. the corners that lift up, if the are sharp, will get caught on everything

Any difference to the pictures? as in blurr or smoky? Cos the lens is plastic...not sure if it makes a difference.
I figured i'll be using the Liquid Kristall for the gear.
Since after applying you can't see a layer on the screen....makes one wonder if there is actually any protection on the screen
