I don't know need just the screen. But Replacement LCD Display + Touch Screen Digitizer for HTC ONE X is arroud 40 euros on Ebay so for RAZR I, i can pay arround this price?

Not a help with your problem but I dropped my previous Nokia 701 face down on an olde worlde stone slab floor in a local hostelry last year from a height of approximately 4 feet.
The battery cover flew off and the battery flew elsewhere, with the front of the phone still lying face down on the floor. Needless to say I fully expected the screen to be totally shattered amongst whatever other damage may have been inflicted, so imagine my (delighted) shock when I picked the phone up to discover it was totally unscathed!! And I mean, totally unscathed – not a mark, scratch, or dent on it, bar the tiniest imperceivable chip on the bezel.
When I bought my XT890 a few weeks ago one of my first thoughts at the time was that this phone wouldn't survive such a drop. I do feel your pain and hope you get it resolved as speedily as possible.

Do you found screen for your razr .?

Warning D3 users: screen will scratch if you look at it wrong

I've seen a few other posts on a few other boards about the D3 having a VERY scratchable screen. Normally, I tell people that modern screen are durable as nails, but tonight, I got bit. My D3 now has a nice "pinhole" indentation in the screen. In the damaged area, surrounding the new scratch, you can feel that there is a RAISED area of some material. Its obvious that this screen has some kind of coating on it that can be easily damaged. It is definitely NOT a single piece of glass. My OG Droid got pummeled for a year and a half. Its screen is MINT. My new D3 is now damaged on it's 9th day.
<rant on>
Now that Moto is making phones with no removable battery (D4), is making easily scratchable pentile screens (D3), and pulls this bootloader cr*p, I think this will be my last one. Googarolla, I hope you are listening.

I've been through 9 Droid3 replacements for various hardware issues, but never once did I have problems with the screen scratching. Mind you, I'm OCD, so I'm always wiping it down with my shirt or a piece of napkin. Never once scratched. So, I'm not sure what to tell you...

My screen looks the same as when I first got it about 3 months ago.
No scratches yet. Technically any screen can get scratched, even gorilla glass.just have to be careful.

I'm not so lucky.I have a small scratch on the M on the top where it says Motorola. Boo
Same story here OP. My OG Droid never had a case on it and the screen was perfect when I sold it, same with my Droid X. I have 2 hairline scratches and a tiny chip on my Droid 3... and it has a case and is always in my pocket by itself.
To the OP...

Seriously. You sound like a cry baby. I don't care if a phone has a diamond coated protection layer, ill still slap on at the very least a 5 dollar no name screen protector. Infact I even cut a screen protector to size to cover the camera lens. Why? Because I don't take the chance. Obviously something YOU did scratched the screen. Its not the phones fault or motorolas fault. Time to put the big boy pants on, accept some responsibility, and realize it was something you did.

I really don't think he's crying about it, he's making a valid point. If a phone from 2 years ago has better scratch resistance, I think that's a problem too. Technology is supposed to improve as time goes on, not be cheaply mass-produced with low quality materials. Should he have put a screen protector on it, probably, but why would he assume he'd need to if an old model lasted 2 years without a scratch?
Chill out.
I thought it was determined that the screen had a anti-glare covering that was the culprit of the micro-scratches, not the gorilla glass?
TLR Buy a screen protector, I got one for $5 off eBay with a car charger.
I teared when my OG Droid got a scratch a month before replacing it with the D3. So I slapped a screen protector on my D3 and now I'm happy.
Honestly, thinking that anything is unscratchable sounds more like a "User Error ID:10T" problem. The Gorilla glass on the Droid 3 doesn't seem as strong as the OG Droid because people wanted anti-glare.
Technology is improving, some users on the other hand aren't.

Last weekend some friends and I were having a "fun and chill" experience, when I decided to get out of their car and go wait in mine with a girl. Then we got an idea of sneaking up to their car and using the LED of my phone to imitate the brightass spotlight on police cars. And so while holding my phone in her hand, the girl crawled across the parking garage to the other car.

My ex girlfriend managed to scratch my gift, a Rado watch (which is one of the hardest thing on the earth) after three days of use.
So I guess is not too hard to scratch a piece of gorilla glass too.
Btw gorilla glass or not the Droid 3 bezel is way more delicate than the one of my old Milestone 1.
I had the latter for a whole year and all the phone (toy keyboard excluded) looked like new after such amount of time, the D3 already feels "used" after a month.
Wow, is the D4 really not going to have a removable battery..? What sort of iPhone-ish ******ry is THAT?? I really, really hope that's not true, because any smart-phone that can't take an upgraded battery is not worth having. Screw 8-10 hours of battery life, that's pathetic.
But on topic, my screen is still fine as well.

Looks like that most of the Apple competitors are doing their best to copy the idiotic Apple's moves (lack of keyboard, locks everywhere, microsims, fixed batteries, and so on) but at the same time are managing to avoid the good ones like the extended OS support, or the focus on a few models instead of producing a plethora of (often pointless) models.
I have had my phone for a couple months and it is mint.

on the non-removable batt, when your phone freezes up and the power button isnt working BECAUSE your phone is froze, which you then need a battery pull, how would one go about restarting the phone?

you used to could alt-shift-del to reboot, but it doesn't work on the D3. even if it did work, there was that .001% chance that you really would need to remove the battery, to which you would obviously need a pin reset.
not sure why they dumped the alt-shift-del reboot. i greatly miss it.

Too bad, i dont have a pro camera right now. and also hard to capture by camera.
and i believe those p880 with this issue will be more dust after certain usage.
just 1 week, there are 2 medium dot under screen. from my exp last times, about 1-2 month, there lots of dust and big 1.
really make me so sad. what a product with this stupid issue!
i have the same issue too but its really slight. the dust are hardly seen under normal usage and only when the screen is off and im looking for it.
not something very irritating but yea, it shouldn't be there. btw my Optimus One had this problem too but it was really a thick dense line of dust from the bottom left corner of the screen.
edit: added photos
i have only one and barely notice it

i know where is it, and send before. i post here that because i believe it will happen again after second service.
previously i emailed, they said sent to their service center.
in the service center i asked,and they said no this quality issue on other p880. what i feel is nonsense, just other people lazy go for it.
And purposely go there for same problem, i am quite unhappy, because wasting my time to go and back.
And they just replace the window glass, i dont think can fix permanently, since this is a common issue for most people, wasnt?
Hello I have the same issue, in my P880 I saw specs of dust two days after of purchase, now 2 months later I have many specs, some are very annoying at sunlight. Sadly in my Country I do not have technical support from LG.

How i' fixed one dust dot.
Hello
Today i noticed white dust point between my screen and glass of phone... and.. i was pissed off!!! because phone is one month old!
Tried to calmdown ... but every time when i looked on the screen i saw nothing but that white dot...
So... i don't take any responsibility for this "tutorial" on damaging your glass or screen or phone...
So... turn off you phone ... using your pointing finger make speed hard taps on dust area with little bit bending of whole phone.
With this method i managed to move dust point from middle of screen to bottom edge of screen... and with more bending and taping on edhe area
dust spot is disappeared. (it took me 2 minutes of tapping)
I konw it sounds crazy but it worked and i'm happy again

Isn't this problem partly due to the fact that there's a large gap between the display and touchscreen itself?

Less then one meter -.- no throwing or something else, it just hit the floor
Whoa, that is ... bad luck. My old Desire HD fell >1m onto mid-sized stones and had shattered glass only on ~25% of the screen. I don't think that there are already spare displays available on the market? So your only choice would be to send it in. (Don't forget that most likely the Razr M display will be identical, hopefully also the connectors)
Maybe someone more into it could confirm it.

Hey,
my razr i had a similar faith.
Having a ciggie on a mezzanine, watching the movie on my knee and as I sit in the window, it almost slid off almost hitting the stairs only if my ninja reflexes had not kicked in..
..slapped the phone which now was flying outside the window spinning as frisbee.. Poor thing landed in the brick yard with the occasional patch of grass, still playing that damned film..
Survived almost with a scratch considering circumstances (2nd floor mainly). It has a crack corner to corner along the top, just below the speaker in the notification area. Amoled n touch features intact (seemingly all works fine, have not noticed any differences apart from the hair scratch that isn't bother any more) Few minor dents round the jack and that corner. nothing else (can provide pictures if anyone want to see)
Was thinking about the OEM replacement glass for xt890. Found one on ebay too for about a $15 might think get one just cause its fairly cheap, but when I rethink it, seen functional razrs for less then whole screen assembly. Maybe its better as peeps suggested here to get one water or else electronically damaged.
Also what kind of glue would be suitable for such repair + any special tool required (never mind the skill set ?
Would it be possible to use razr m as a source for spare parts?
Cheers

Glass separator?

Hey ppl I bought a nexus 6 about a week ago for $100 on eBay with a broken screen. It's 100% usable and works great. I'm thinking of repairing it but the stupid screen costs $200 to repair! So I was thinking to buy a LCD glass separator for $80 plus the actual glass for $13 and fix it my self for under $100. The thing is I want to ask if its even possible to do this? I mean if the touch screen is connected to the glass or not and if anyone had any experience/advice?

Just some first hand experience here with trying to separate the digitizer from the LCD on an LG G3... I've done a fair number of screen replacements before but this was my first attempt at a glued screen where I was really trying to save the LCD. Without writing a 10 page summary of all the problems I had, basically it comes down to trying to heat the screen with a heat gun was fairly inconsistent, as soon as I started to slide the separator in, I shattered the LCD. The wire method might be a little safer but if possible, I would recommend replacing the screen entirely if you can find one for a reasonable cost. You'll probably save yourself a lot of time, frustration and possibly some money if you do break the LCD by accident.

So I guess what you're saying is save the hassle and some money and replace the whole LCD, faster and easier.... Only people that done this method 100 times are able to do it efficiently I think because it sounds near to impossible for a newbie to do it

Its a pain I the ass without the proper tools. I tried it on my old S2's a few times and could never do it. For this job, $200 is money well spent IMO.
I tried to separate my broken glass from screen on nexus 6 and I broke the screen, it's veeeeeeeeeeeeery hard to separate glass from LCD panel. Fortunately in Poland screens are cheap and I bought whole original screen with glass for 400 zl it's about 50$.

Shattered screen, literally 30 days in...

So, long story short, I've had my Moto z3 play for exactly 30 days now, last night I dropped it from MAYBE, 3 feet off the ground and it landed face down, front screen is cracked / spider-webbed all over, just wondering what experiences anyone has between Motorola doing a repair, local repair shops, and doing it yourself... I don't have the accidental damage insurance Moto offers, but I love this phone and have to figure something out..
Any input would be GREATLY appreciated...
Wish I could help, but I got no info to share except that when/if you get a new one . . . TEMPERED GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR! Saved me a few times.

The screen is very simple to replace I had to replace it when I shattered my screen. Bought one off eBay I think for 50$. Just use a heat gun to loosen the adhesive on the sides. Took me about 15 minutes to do.
Just an update, got it replaced at a local phone repair shop, pretty happy with it other than 1 issue, when I power off the phone, then power it back on, the screen is completely black, even though I can hear the hello Moto boot animation, and can feel the vibrations when I touch the screen. However, if I boot to recovery/bootloader mode and THEN power it on, the screen works just fine. Anyone have any ideas?

I broke my screen after a week (phone is nice but isn't durable at all).
I'm worried about screen quality. If I get a replacement, are they all the same? Or are some better? It wasn't as bright as I'd hoped to begin with so I don't want it to get worse.

The only difference I've noticed is that on my new replacement screen, it doesn't have the Motorola/Moto lettering logo on the front bottom chin of the screen, as it originally did, other than that I haven't noticed any difference in quality, brightness, etc..
Sorry about your phone. Same thing happened here - phone fell like 2 feet (with a screen protector) and bam, done. A new screen didn't help in my case. I replaced the fpc connector as well and nope, no go. These phones are extremely fragile. I say abandon ship, bite the bullet and get a new phone.

Think I may do the same. Have my moto x4 for a backup. Other than freezing up (which I could probably fix) it's not bad. I really wanted the amoled screen, but very disappointed with the brightness in daylight. Plus I don't want to pay $50+ only for it to not work as yours did. Isn't worth it imo. Which is to bad since I really like the moto interface.
Anyone know of a good replacement?
Any phone is apt to have the screen shatter without a case when dropped, while that doesn't help I want to link a video showing the Z3 Play screen is not that easy to break. The Poetic Karbon can be had for less than $10 which gives adequate drop protection it seems.

This is true. When I dropped and shattered mine, (64gb Moto Z3 Play Unlocked) I had just purchased the device 5 days prior from Target (they had it on clearance for $150, and they screwed up big-time, they had it listed as the 32gb variant, even though the box specifically said 64gb lol), anyways, I dropped it with NO case, and NO screen protector, onto concrete from about 3 feet off the ground..
However, now I have the Lenovo official aluminum bumper case that's compatible with mods, as well as a tempered glass screen protector, and have dropped it at least 4 or 5 times on a hard wood floor, from about 5-6 feet up, and has not even affected it...
