Well, inspite of the toughness guarantee of the guerilla glass, the screen of my Galaxy S cracked when it fell down. Is there a way in which I can just replace the glass cover of the screen instead of changing the whole display which would cost a lot!!
Any links to where I can buy the glass and the procedure to install it would be really helpful..
Thanks in advance!!
It's unfortunately not possible, you can only buy a whole display&digitizer part :/ ... I heard some guy did it, he heated it and then he somehow detached these parts apart but I think it's not possible to do it at home :/ ... and I don't think it worth to buy that part individualy, I would rather buy some used SGS from ebay, use display and digitizer and then for example sell the other parts ...or buy some broken SGS with screen&digitizer in good condition for noticeably better price

The display and digitizer in our phone is one piece. Sad thing, but it is not possible to split them apart.

Thanks a lot for the responses!! Guess I'll have to go for a new display after all..

As far as breaking the screen on an expensive phone being funny, i'm not sure... but I would suggest you buy a replacement that is GENUINE samsung, as ebay imitations will be made of inferior materials that will scratch easier, break easier (and you don't want that considering the one you had) and will impair touchscreen function, you probably also will need to change the unit as a whole including the AMOLED, this is because the screens are glued together and also calibrated together (or I would imagine so following trends of touchscreen technology) Might be costly!

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.

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).

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.

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.

Very sad to hear that loss...
I have no idea how to fix it. But I pray that it gets fixed someway.

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.

I also cracked my screen when my phone came out of my pocket. I can't even use it not because it wont let me unlock the swipe.
how did you determine that you need the LCD also and not just the outer layer which i assume is the digitizer? When you change yours, will you take a vid for tutorial? Im afraid to touch mine unless there is a tutorial.
Thanks
I wouldn't recommend to do that alone if you aren't absolutely sure what you are doing.
It's very tricky to assemble device again and even if you managed to disassemble and assemble it again you could leave fingertips on it or dust and it'll look terrible...
I won't even mention waterproof - no way to do all assembling right without proper tools.
Leave that to experts.
My wife's Xperia U felt down and front screen (digit) broke.
We paid only 200 kn (around 30€) and it was perfect.
Give 20-30€ or $ more, it's expensive device and 20$ could turn into 1000$ damage.

the reason is most smartphones now lcd and digitizer come super glued together, you gonna need to replace both, also i think they only sell the all together.
i still have my acro s so when the price goes down on the set i'll make a video tutorial and post it here for you.
besides the glue and seals the xperia z1 is quite easy to take a part.
oh one more thing, i fix phones and computers for a living
Hello all.
So, the screen from my nexus 7 is broken, I had it in my back pocket with the minijack attached.
I got a tilapia version.
Is it worth it to replace the screen and the digitillizer?
If yes, do you recommend an online shop? I live in Germany.
I am not really familiar with eBay, I will use it only if it is really trustworthy vendor.
Thank you all in advance

I've tried - no Gorilla Glass in front so will brake in no time as mine did.
Not worth as an investment in my humble opinion.
Try searching ebay for the unit with the working screen.
ok i need some help here, i dropped my n7 and it seems the glass is cracked and thus digitizer fails completely (damn you single glass system).
Now i dont understand is what do i need, does it have to be touch screen + digitizer or is there simply top glass assembly cum digitizer online. i will be ordering from india so i dont think i will be able to get it replaced. so its just one time buy.
screen combo is massively expensive at 40$ something which is basically the cost of my tablet itself. however touch screen assembly seems to be just 10$ affair with free shipping. which one will be for me?? please help

If it's only glass cracked, then you can do it - just need some patience and skills to disassembly digitizer glass and LCD, you can look at THIS
I doubt you'll do it if you've never done something like this before, but you have nothing to loose.
the new lcd+digitizer you can get for about 20$ with free postage, if you search in right place - just checked it and found one for 19 in 1 min

well even $20 is huge for me at INR 1400, i went with digitizer only for $10. lets see if i have just trashed $10. i fear i might damage the lcd. thankfully i have a heat gun.

Well, considering there's no other internal damaged, if you took care removing the broken screen properly and you carefully rebuild your phone with the new one, you should be good to go... :good:

You can try on:
etradesupply.com or parts4repair.com
Anyway, it's usually between 120 and 150 US dollars.
There should be others. Just Google for "buy Nexus 6 screen".
Good luck...
