I dropped my Samsung Focus and broke the screen glass. The touch screen works fine and i think only the outer screen glass has to be replaced.
I have searched on internet and found DIY repair videos to replace the LCD screen, but couldn't find any info about replacing the outer glass alone. But read its pretty hard to seperate the glass from LCD and replace it !!!
The LCD screen is costing around 120$ and the outer glass is costing 10-16$. I do not want to spend more unnecessarily if i can find a way to replace the outer glass myself.
Also, Samsung Focus is not oficially released here in India here, so i don't think i can approach the samsung itself.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Samsung focus lcd broken
Hi pranav. Same here , i have a samsung focus and lcd + outer glass screen is broken. In one of the screen replacement video i saw , the outer screen and the lcd as one unit and not seperate. Though , i am not completely sure.
Did you find a way to get the lcd or the outer glass for your phone in India?
Please contact me on [email protected]
Did you find a source for the replacement glass only? Please share.
I found only glass on eBay (hongkong or china i suppose). When i spoke to people from service center, all of them were saying it is not possible to replace only glass and they wont do it !!! i i don't know if it is really tough or they do not want to take much pain replacing glass and want to replace the whole LCD set which is easy for them.
And the total LCD + Digitizer + glass kit, i found it for 103$ in eBay US, and for 120 - 140$ in some other repair sites and Amazon.
Waiting for get the replacement from US as it costs less and get it fixed in a samsung service center.
Don't think that's possible. After all, the whole point of "super" in super amoled is that the glass is bonded to the display.

I've purchased the glass only and I'm waiting for it to arrive. It was very cheap and if it doesn't work, I'm not going to be too upset for buying it for about $11.00.

Amazon also has unit which is the LCD and digitizer already assembled.

I can update if and when I receive my replacement glass from gogotoshop. I find the place questionable but used paypal and can dispute the transaction if it isn't legit.
BTW....removing the glass & digitizer is not an easy task. From attempting to remove my broken screen, I don't think it is possible to remove it from the LCD as the previous posters mentioned.
mine is i937
Thanks for reply, But my phone is Samsung focus s (i937), and I didnot find the front class or Digitizer or LCD or all together.
I have the same problem the front glass broken. other things are ok, I asked on sumsung service center they said the whole thing has to change, I am sure experts can change only the front class.
Anybody has any idea about if I can buy it in India or any site who can ship to India.
or in UK, my frnd is coming from there I will ask him to buy there for me.
Please guys help me.
Thanks,

So just like the samsung and iphone models, the focus and focus s can be done the same way? I know for a fact that the galaxy s4 Active is best done by machine. Since ive tried but failed to do one. I have removed the glass from a galaxy s3 mini successfully, should this phone be the same? Please respond quickly!
Thank you

This should have been asked in the Q&A forum.
The difference between the galaxys and note is that the note has a wacom touchscreen & pen. The galaxys only has a touchscreen and does not support pens like the note has.

i dont think you understand me,
I repair smartphone,s and sell them. Normally a touchscreen contains of a plate of glass (digitzer) and the lcd screen that is under the digitzer. so you look trough the digitzer at the lcd and the digitzer register what you are doing with you finger. So, the galaxy S1 en the galaxy S plus has a screen within a digitzer or somthing. On ebay you can buy glass frontplate (not a digitzer a glass frontplate) what fell over the screen, but i dont find a video how you can instal these. normally you can simply put the lcd and the digitzer out but if you do that by a s1 you scratch the screen.
From what I can see there, it is a single unit. So I would guess you could not only replace the digitizer.
As i recall they are glued together and really hard to separate,that's also why u rarely see dust and moist under the glass of the sgs
I had a broken glass and i had to change the hole unit. It is very expensive. Glass and lcd costs 170 €.

wintel is right. The digitizer is fused/glued onto the LCD screen directly. There's no easy way to separate the two. Theoretically you can buy the two separately, but then you will have to find a way to glue the two together yourself.
Hello i am follow next nice tutorial for repair Replacement Samsung Galaxy Ace Touch Screen Digitizer Front Glass

Thanks a lot,and sorry my bad english.
I have never had to replace the in a cell phone before but my wife managed to break the glass on the S5 Active (SM-G870A).
Has anyone else had to deal with this yet? I have searched every source I could find for the glass but it doesn't appear to be on the market yet.
Searching Alibaba for the glass comes up with glass for an s5mini glass replacement :-/
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Same here I dont believe there is a replacement glass yet, which is really frustrating when it comes to Asurian bull crap which is the insurance company for any sort of replacement devices.. $199 is the deductible .

Is just the glass broken? The digitiser is all OK? Just so you know there iscavhigh chance your phone will no longer be water/dust resident if you do this.
It's not hard. Do you have the tools? Heat gun (a hair dryer could work) pics ( guitar pick could work) .
Just go slow and make sure you heat the glass up lots.
If you want it to be 100% you will have to glue the digi to the glass. This all depends on how mechanically inclined you are and you will need more tools and skills.
I realize the OP is over a year old. But I was recently looking for a replacement screen for my S5 as well. I came across this website that also has a screen replacement for the G870A.

hi to everyone,
i need your help with my HTC First, the outer glass is cracked. i know the outer glass and digitizer are all together but im not sure about separating them from the LCD screen. Ive tried finding a repair video and/or step by step instructions and was able to find 1 but it wasn't very good. i found one video of a LCD screen and digitizer/outer glass combo replacement but it never showed how to separate the 2. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance to all that reply with help
mike
It's really risky to separate the glass from the digitizer as they are fused together. Best luck would be to replace the whole LCD screen/glass/digitizer.
