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.

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
Hey everyone,
New here and hoped to get some help right off the bat.
A company i957 (Tab 8.9) was dropped prior to a case being applied and broke the glass on the screen. The LCD is fine but the glass needs replacing. I have already purchased the glass and have the Tab apart. My question is in regards to the fusing process. Is the screen just glued to the LCD surround? Whats the best way to remove it? Simply pry? My biggest worry is it cracks more when a small amount of prying occurs. At this point I don't are about the glass as its toast anyway, just worried about the LCD.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

I have a similar issue with LCD working but glass cracked. According to this site, it's completely fused together.
http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-89/6327263?seq=25
I'm still looking for a pre-fused assembly for my SGH-I957. If you have ever tinkered with replacing the touch for an crapple thingy (iphone/ipod touch), it's completely the same issue. The digitizer and lcd are one with some type of adhesive. However for the crapple thingy, u were able to get the complete assembly, just the glass or just the lcd. If you used glass and lcd non fused, the touch would work but was not very responsive quite a bit. I tried several clear adhesives (very messy) but could not locate the correct one. a few possible ones worked but had a yellowish hue after a while or bubbles in it.
I'm at the point to where ima sell my cracked SGH-I957 and use what little change i get from it towards a replacement one. I hope this was of some help to you.

Forgot to add...
If you wanted to try and separate the adhesive from them, you can try this: (I am not responsible for any damage caused by this. Procees at own risk ans this will likely damage the LCD)
Take a clothes iron and set it to the lowest temp possible. Place the iron over the glass+lcd fused assembly for 5-10min (what this will do is simulate the heat as if you left the tablet in the car in the heat) it will make the adhesive loose or tacky to where you can attempt to pry the lcd away. Be careful as the lcd is very fragile and will crack very easily.
I DON'T RECOMMEND doing this unless you just want to try it. I did with crapple stuff and only cause 2 dead pixels on the screen. Then went and played with several adhesives. Went through several touch and lcd but I had a set dollar amount I was wiling to blow on that experiment. End result was pony up and buy prefused assembly. Once did that, returned crapple back to lil sis who then sold her crapple device. YA! for her.
Check my post on Replacing the GT-P7310 Digitizer.

So it responds as if the adhesive was fused/stuck in between the lcd and digitizer? Is there any lag or lack of response with the multi-touch? If it works great, I'll order me a digitizer off ebay or amazon and give a stab at it.
Thanks for the info in your post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894620
Works and feels just like the original. Only without a set of ruddy great scratches from my keys.
Basically the digitizer is held on with strong double sided tape. Its that simple. There are videos on YouTube for the original Galaxy Tab, and the same principle applies.

Thanks! Good to know it wont be like the crapple thing I mentioned above. Just ordered me a digitizer off ebay.
You're welcome. Set yourself an hour to do the changeout, and find somewhere clean & well lit. Good luck!

Well, i ended up getting the touch/digitizer only. Search "Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 P7300 P7310 P7320 Touch Screen Glass Digitizer" and pick your seller. I will note that since I had the at&t version marked by the logo on top right corner., The replacement was OEM so no at&t logo which was fine and it fitted perfectly. You may also find some on amazon and other various part sites.
If you are looking for the LCD screen, search LCD Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 on ebay and sort highest 1st to quickly locate the actual LCD screens. Hope this helps
like title says
what should i do ?
Buy digitizer for 40 dlls because it was only the digitizer that broke i can still use the Touch of my screen and use the pen
or buy the complete package for 250 dlls ?
Buy the digitizer, plastic pry tools, and some double stick tape. I dont know what you mean by the full package. Goodluck to you

IF your digitizer broke then your touch screen would not be working... if your screen still works then your digitizer is fine...

The digitzer is a film on the back of the glass, if the glass breaks you need to replace it along with the glass.
Anyone else confused?
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
Just a warning, replacing the digitizer/glass alone is going to be fairly difficult for anyone who isn't experienced in phone repairs. It is glued to the LCD and it is extremely easy to break things during the process.
Here is a video (although a bit long) on the process.
I broke my LCD screen as well. Sent to the Samsung service center to have it replaced and cost me $260 including the silver frame.
I managed to find a gnote II with a bad esn for $70 on Craigslist. Scooped it up for the parts, even though it's a fully functioning tablet now.
The digitizer is what u touch. It can shatter and still work.they are cheap. The lcd screen is what u see. Expensive but probably fine. Ive done a couple go slow and its no big deal watch a youtube vid

Hi everyone, I just droped my incredible s and the screen broke. Now I planning to buy a lcd screen on ebay and repair it my self but I need to know what to buy. The phone is still fully fonctionnal it's just the screen that's cracked. So my question is do I need to buy the screen digitizer only or the lcd to?
Thanks!
[Edit]
Got the screen digitizer today, and I just finished to put it all together... phone looks like new!! And it wasnt too hard to do
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHxopp_Hino&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I simply followed that video but I only changed the touch digitizer, not the lcd.
The only issue is the new screen isnt glued well to the phone. I did put some two sided tape but the corners are a bit "loose" like I can push the screen back. So I'll try to find some sealant glue or something like that to glue the screen well in place.
If anyone knows a glue or a sealant let me know

Hello,
is it possible to replace the digitzer of the Xperia Z by myself?
My display is fully working just the digitizer cracked. And my phone isn't usable anymore.
I found the Digitizer front cover glass for 35€.
If so does anybody have a good tutoriol to do so?
I have nothing to loose, sony care take 200€ for the replacement, for this money i can buy a new Phone.
I found a lot of videos on youtube where they replace the digitzer inkl. LCD display. But not where they only replace the digitizer front panel.
I saw that the digitzer is glued to the LCD display.
Anybody replace the Digitizer by himself and could provide me with a few tipps?
I saw it's possible to detach the Digitizer with a heat gun.
I have a little practice by reparing the display of my old Iphone 4.
Which parts do i need?
Front Cover Adhesive
Back Cover Adhesive
and Front cover glass inkl digitizer?
Thx for your Help.
Sorry for my english.

You can broke your lcd too, while un-soldering digitizer from lcd.
Happend to me once.
I've replaced complete LCD+digitizer in once. Do not forget to order new adhesives. Back adhesive will get big damage on dissembling process. Back cover might not stick very well with old ones.
LCD panels might include front adhesives on it.
You can buy the digitizer here:

Tho I'm not 100% sure if they ship everywhere. It's pricey tho!
You can't unglue the digitizer from LCD without breaking them.
