First of all, HI to every one, this forum is excellent and u are doing excellent job.
I have one problem,yesturday my htc tytn Ii felt down from half meter and from that time my touch screen is not working . screen is working fine but touch no ...what can i do? to open a case and see if conector is maybe disconected or ? is there need buying new lcd screen?
You can try opening it up and disconnect/reconnect the touch digitizer ribbon cable, if that doesn't work buy a new touch screen digitizer. They're fairly cheap.
so correct me if i'm wrong,there are two parts on the display? lcd screen and that touch screen digitizer??and digitizer is on top?
Yes, there's the LCD screen, then on top the digitizer.
the digitizer costs about 15 bux on ebay, and the lcd with the digitizer costs about 50. my touchscreen stopped responding awhile back, so i had to replace it. word of advice though. the digitizer is kinda build into the lcd, and it is a huge pain (atleast 4 me) to replace it. i ended up cracking my screen doing it, and had to but the whole lcd.
so your suggesting to buy entire lcd screen with digitizer on it?
You can get the lcd+ digitizer from yallstore for 35$ http://www.yallstore.com/htc-tilt-tytn-ii-att-8925-lcd-touch-screen-replacementt56-p-874.html
Which is exactly what i ordered on thursday after my screen cracked.
Replacing JUST the digitizer is quite tricky, i don't know if any of you guys have done it (i have) and it was pretty darn tricky if youve never taken fiddley things apart beware! the digitizer glass is glued on (around the edges) to the LCD, a sharp knife around the edge (the glass WILL crack) and a careful replacedment (i had to solder the ribbon cable on) should help there is a guide somewhere where someone has documented their attempt!
so can i be sure that my problem will be solved with new lcd screen?
please guys i need anwsers fast

Can you be certain this will fix it? No. It's about 99% likely, however. I don't know about you, but I pay alot more than $35/month just for my service. I haven't done the screen on my Kaiser, but I did on my Excalibur, which my son then inherited. To be honest, the Kaiser looks easier from what I've read.
it most probably isn't a software problem, so yes buy a new LCD+digitizer and replace both.
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.
Guys,
I broke my screen, the LCD is good but the digitizer doesn't work. Aparently, this phone works differently from olders phones in which you can replace only the digitizer, but not this one since are fused together.
My question are:
Where can I buy one that WILL work? (i bought one in ebay and was faulty)
Will any LG G2 screen fit the VS980 (D805, D802, etc)?
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks!

If you haven't already got one, you can get it at repairsuniverse - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/lg-g2-lcd-touch-screen-digitizer-replacement-black-verizon.html
The repair is a little delicate in that you have to completely disassemble the phone and pry the screen out. You don't need a proper heat gun, a hair dryer will work just fine. One problem to be aware of: the screen really needs to fit flush against things otherwise the proximity sensor (top left of screen) will think that something is near it all the time and will make the screen turn off and you'll struggle to get it on again. They supply you with double-sided tape and it sorta-kinda works if you're careful. Pro tip: don't do what I did and unseat the newly-installed screen without heating it - you'll damage the screen. Also, superglue seems to do bad things to the screen. I now have a fully functioning digitizer with a screen that looks like hell. YMMV.
I am also in the same boat, having dropped it this past weekend. LCD works, not digitizer.
Any thoughts on replacing just the digitizer/glass vs. getting the whole assembly with the LCD? Seems significantly more dificult, considering the heat gun/glue assembly and only about a $30 difference between the two methods based on ebay prices.

Any suggestions on getting this LCD vs. one from ebay that is also pre-attached to the frame and comes with tools? They seem identical otherwise.
Hi,
I have some experience since I replaced twice mine lol xD
There're no good quality screens (they are all copies, no OEM screens) and all 3 that I got from 3 differentes vendors suffers from yellowish spot on the lower left corner (its not my phone that has an issue, one screen actually was a phone that I bought on ebay and had the screen replaced and still suffered from that) and others from misalignment. Here's a pic that I had to send to an ebay seller to prove them that their screens were ****:
http://i62.tinypic.com/15mn1w1.jpg
And got the money back at least.
The digitizer and the lcd are fused, so if you try with digitizer/glass and screen apart, you'll have to buy optical glue in order to fuse them, if not you'll end up with two things glued together that looks awful.
If you go with the whole assembly, its luck to have one that works, so you'll have to be patient and asume that you may receive an awful screen. Luckly, ebay protect you, so if you're not in a hurry you can test until you grab the working one.
Any question if I can help, just le met know.
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?
Well I finally did it. I busted the screen on my g flex. Its not bad. Just half a dozen tiny cracks. Can't feel them and can't see them with the screen on.
My question is had anyone replaced their screen yet?
And....
All I see on the web is LCD n digitizer together. I didn't damage the LCD. I only cracked the Digitizer / top layer of glass. Can I buy and /or replace just the digitizer only and not the LCD?

Only times I've seen the digitizers alone are iPhones and Samsung phones, but how on earth did you manage a crack on the flex? The angle would have to be perfect at the exact moment the planets aligned.

Had mine for 2 days and dropped it from 2 feet cracked my flex. Pretty bad too.
I replaced it shortly after. And no, they only come together.
Sent from my LG-H950 using XDA Free mobile app
I know I can't believe it broke too. I show off its durability by tossing it out in front of me on the ground. And in almost 2 years I haven't broken one yet.
That the main reason I haven't used my upgrade is I can't see buying a phone that can break when I thought I had one that wouldn't break. But looks like I'm gonna scoop up one of these. https://youtu.be/rPgPC9C3xwY

If the touch panel or the touch screen is damaged, but the images on the phone displays as usual, the touch screen panel part is damaged.
Note: replacing only the touch screen is hard to achieve, because the touch screen is integrated into the LCD screen.

Correct. Digitizer can be purchased seperate for less than $20 but is EXTREMELY difficult to replace without also destroying the poled as they are indeed fused together. You could purchase just the screen and digitizer, you'll need a heat gun, guitar pick, a bonding agent and patience. I'd recommend getting the screen, digitizer and frame already assembled (it'll just be a few dollars more) and moving all of your internals on to it. All you'll need is a micro Phillips screwdriver. It's easier, quicker and a more long term solution, not to mention it'll put your Flex back in mint condition as it's an all new housing. Total invested will be less than $100 bucks including beer. Good luck should you decide to go through with it, it's surprisingly easy.
Source: I do micro electronic repair and have replaced screens on dozens of makes/ models including the LG Flex.
I'd just buy a replacement display-itizer assembly from eBay (~$70), pry it apart and gluge it to the frame with 3m ultra thin bonding tape.
Total cost of repair, including tools (screw drivers, tape, spludger) is under $90
I've been thinking of buying a replacement myself, just in case.
Plus, there's one I've found without the LG logo, looks much cleaner.
I've separated them before. And re assembled in the restroom with the shower on high heat to create steam. Keeps down the dust. But I believe @ $62 replacing the whole thing is the way to go.
hi there. where was the flex screen parts at for $62 ? thanks
Anyone feel like making a few bucks, I have one with some burn in and would pay someone to replace my screen on my LG G Flex. Not worth it maybe at todays prices, might just buy a new one? Thoughts?

I wouldnt replace it just due to burn as it will just return. I dropped and busted mine a couple months ago and not replaced it yet lol.

yes I bought the lcd/digitizer/frame all together, its under 90 bucks, real easy to put together , sure you could get the individual parts cheaper but its too much fuss to put together.
