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?

Awesome... Thanks
Well i had the same issue and I had to give it to the service center and I got it back after 2 mnths yea i know it's a long time but i guess it was worth it in the end... but looking at how to do it urself I think it's a huge risk.... to even do it....
I've followed these steps and got to the last part. The service manua doesn't explain how to lift the LCD / touchscreen out (it's covered by grey tape). Does anyone know how to do the last steps?
I cant download that manual to see how far it goes but assuming you get as far as removing the 3 screws and removing the chassis plate to expose the rear of the LCD (can see the LCD part number 62H00004-31M)
All that holds the screen in now is adhesive, you can release this by, from the front, inserting an artists pallette knife around the sides and top and gently and progressively levering up to break the bond. Do not do this at the bottom or you will likely damage the flexi.
You now have an assembly which consists of a glass lens with the LCD bonded to the back and the digitiser bonded to the front, it is probably easier in the long run to replace this whole assembly.
To remove the digitiser lift the silver bonding tape and then the kapton tape from the digitiser connector (4 track connector) and de-solder the connector
To remove the digitiser from the front of the glass lens it is beneficial to heat it slightly (around 60 deg C). Then insert the pallette knife between the digitiser and the glass and slice it off - there is quite a lot of adhesive so take it carefully and do not lever as it may break the glass. Once the digitizer is off the glass needs to be cleaned of adhesive. Label removing fluid is good for this but ensure it doesn't get ino the LCD as it will ruin it.
All you need to do now is fit a new digitiser using optically clear adhesive-a tricky job unless you have a pressing fixture to ensure no air bubbles. I've also found that a lot of replacement Digitisers come complete with the glass lens and as it is impossible to remove the old LCD from the lens without cracking, they would seem pretty pointless to me?
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.
Hi guys,
So my mum dropped the Optimus Black that I bought her and it has cracked on the front - can someone on here please tell me how I would check whether it is only the front glass screen that needs replaced or the actual entire LCD? I'm very n00bish when it comes to this stuff.
Thanks all
Ok, I'm pretttty sure it's only the outer glass screen that's shattered and the actual LCD is fine.
Ordered a replacement part online, will update you all on how difficult it is to replace .
can you tell me where you ordered it ? I'm looking that too
Damn that sucks
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA Premium App
if the screen is still running, I am pretty sure it is just the upper layer of the LCD screen.

I changed the digitizer of my previous phone, the Galaxy Spica, and the digitizer was glued to the outer rim of the LCD so i had to use force to get them apart.
Br,

My friend's p990 also had a scratch on his screen
seems this gorrilla is just a chimp
Pretty sure it's not "titanium glass", just hardened glass, so don't expect it to be invulnerable. Get a screen protector, don't put your phone in with keys, coins, or anything else with sharp edges, and don't drop your phone this should keep it nice and shiny for a long time.
I once cracked my screen of Desire HD... Before buying anything, be 100% sure whether the top glass is mounted onto the LCD below; or glued to it with some sort of special chemical.
When I broke my DHD screen; I bought only the upper glass part from Ebay. But turned it, the top glass part was glued to the LCD. So I had to buy the LCD and glass part together...

but the "advertisement" on u-thub says differently
does anyone has a how to for dissasembling the phone?
the screen is scratch resistant. personally tried and tested using a sharp knife. i still use a screen protector, though, because we can never tell! i guess gorilla glass is still glass. it's just scratch and impact resistant, as seen on youtube.
This happened to me too the other day. The phone slipped out of my hand and onto a rather soft vinyl floor. Screen is now cracked all over, but working.
As it seems no-one here has been able to replace the screen themselves with ebay replacement glass (probably plastic anyway), I'll just throw my OB in the trash, and gladly so, because of LG's broken promises to update the phone. Thinking back, I might even have had a smirk on my face when I realized what had happened. At least now I have an excuse to get the Galaxy Nexus or some other phone from a decent, self-respecting company, and finally be at peace with the phone I own. With the OB I could feel a bit of frustration every time I used it. Frustration (or pity really) is something I also felt when I checked this forum, since the mods kept closing all the GB-related threads for no apparent reason other than to demonstrate their power.
Without LG, life will indeed be good
"the screen is scratch resistant" - well i made a scratch by simply cleaning the screen with some textil made for cleaning glasses

P970 screen is Gorilla Glass. But I'm not sure about the replacement one from eBay.
Ok so i have a cracked digitizer...
I am going to replace it myself, however this phone is obviously not a straight forward repair.
Anyone have any personal experience replacing the digitizer on this phone? I have seen the youtube videos and read the xda.cn chinese breakdown, just looking for some personal input on the process if someone has one.
Also what will i need to rebuilt it? Do i need double sided tape etc. Thanks
80 views and no ones ever had experience with this?
i replaced it on 2 hd7 phones.
its a real pain to get it off because the glue tape they use goes all the way around, and its strong stuff.
you need to take apart the entire phone to get to the ribbon cable where the digitizer plugs in, so just look for some youtube videos of a tear down and watch carefully.
honestly the hardest part for me was getting the screen and digitizer clean of fingerprints and tiny broken glass pieces without messing up the screen, while keeping the double sided tape i put on in place and intact.
just take your time and everything will go smoothly.
-edit- yes you will need some double sided tape because when you take the digitizer off the sticky layer of the tape goes with it, the rest of the tape stays on the screen and is impossible to get off without damaging your screen so you have to apply new tape over it.
i used some thin scotch brand double sided tape and i cut it into long narrow strips with a razor using my old digitizer as a cutting board, the same width as the original tape.
Hi mate appreciate the advice in my thread on the HD7 replacement.
I managed to get the digitizer out, however on replacing the new one i have a problem..
You know the old digitizer has three plastic prongs, on the buttons at the bottom, search etc.
Am i rigth in saying they need to be transferred to the new digitizer? As i can't see how they fit on the LCD when stuck to the digitizer? It raises the digitizer a little, unless they hand off the edge of the lcd?
Thanks

Those are nothing more than spacers. I have replaced two digitizers without them. As long as you get some good 3M double sided in that area there is no problems.

um no they arent spacers...they are what directs the light to the 3 bottom keys. they are there for a reason so i recommend using them... ... now you are spot on with the 3m tape as it is the tape needed to do this whole job properly... the scotch crap is not made for this and WILL NOT HOLD UP NOR SEAL PROPERLY>>>
and for the person who said to put the tape over the old.... not a good idea... it can be removed and new should be used to replace the old..
sorry but i do this daily for a living so i do have a clue about this... just trying to help make it a successful repair and not one that ends up in my shop after the home repair failed and it damaged more than just the screen.....
Hi everyone,
Hope my question makes sense - I dropped my phone last night and the screen cracked. Not the LCD, just the glass. But... The touch is perfect. There's just cracked glass.
I saw a listing in eBay that had just the "front glass" cover part for like $6. Naturally, if I can NOT pay $250+ for a fixed phone, that'd be great. So, does anyone know what exactly it is that I'd need to buy to fix this myself?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: This link has the "glass lens" I was talking about.
http://www.etradesupply.com/motorola-nexus-6-glass-lens-black.html
The glass and digitizer are almost always fused together. If you can get them seperated you'll likely never get the replacement glass attached in a way that will look normal. These things are typically replaced as a unit because of this.
They come glued together and actually removing the glass lens without damaging anything else is very VERY difficult. Best option is to buy a new LCD/digitiser in one and swap them out. I know its expensive but i can ensure you trying to change just the glass is a nightmare!
I've done a couple screens like this and they are a PITA!
If you heat them up enough you can separate the two but in some cases the heat needed damages the screen. It's one of those things that you can "try" it but go into it knowing that it most-likely won't work unless you have a ton of patients. The key is getting all of the glue that bonds the two parts off of the screen/digitizer so the new glass can lay flat and seal.
Interesting. Does the glass not need to be rebonded?
