I have trawled the internet and XDA site for help in installing Glass only on an S3 mini. After many videos and helpful guidnace I am still missing 1 piece of info. I bought through e-Bay a replacement "manufacturer original" replacement glass. The Samsung logo is shiny similar to the old logo on the cracked screen (have learend this is important????)
However this new screen came with an adhesive sheet as well which is the full size of the glass cover. On this adhesive sheet there is a Square U Shaped flapwhich does not appear to be related to any buttons below on the LCD
CAn anyone tell me why there is this flapo and whether the U shape should be removed before applying the glass??? Does not make any sense to me the purpose of this flap

Guys my phone's faceplate is damaged... one of the corner is scratched , even though its metal.
My phone is under warranty.
Can any one recommend me what to do?
Like should i go to a LG service center or is there an alternative way to buy it any where online in India.
Please provide a link for the latter
Yeah, i have the similar problem but i just use a CASE to hide the SCRATCHES,
You should try it.
I don't understand what you mean, the only metal on the phone is the back where it says "With GOOGLE". The silver side surround is plastic.
It is possible to replace the screen surrounding plate (its plastic with metal effect) without replacing the digitizer? I found that they are offered as s single part.

You can, but the bezel is stick to the digitizer using 3M adhensive, and is very hard to remove... (I disassembled the unit before, to replace my LCD and the digitizer, and the frame)
Take a look at ebay for replacement
the plastic metal effect its one with the groilla display they all make the front cover and you need to replace all front cover, a pay for mine 90€ in the lg services because my gorrila display was scrath a the metal plastic too.
Has anyone here replaced the glass on the active? I got a cracked but fully working phone and ordered the screen glass. I didn't bother reading about the tft glass being a little different than the amoled blued s3-s4 glass. I am pretty good at doing the S3 and the other S4 but this one is a mystery with no youtube videos showing the residue left behind or if the lcd is damaged easily, cleaning heating etc. So you guys can share any experiences you might have on the subject. Thanks in advance.
Ok so ive cracked my S4 Active's glass (digitizer is fine) so I bought a new digitizer and glass for it because j didnt want to go through all the trouble of removing the glass from the glue and all that. But I cant find a decent tutorial anywhere on how to replace this. Can someone direct me towards one?

Hello everyone. So somehow I cracked the digitizer on my S6 edge. I see many places to purchase the whole display and digitizer as a whole. I have also seen the digitizer ALONE sold as well. Huge price difference. I have NOT seen any videos on how people have changed the digitizer or top glass, or whatever you want to call it. I have done many phones before, but not the s6 edge. Is this possible to replace just the top glass and not the display as well? And if so, could someone point me to a video that shows how?
Thanks in advance.
I don't think the S6 Edge glass can be separated, check attached pictures, http://imgur.com/SVcWQ6z http://imgur.com/6RwBcYh the lcd is far too thin to be sepatated, it's very risky to damage the lcd display when you're separating the top glass.
Hello guys!
It's my first post on this forum so excuse me for all mistakes that I have made
Some time ago i dropped my LG G Flex from about 0,5m. The screen have "spider webs" so it makes annoying to use it. Luckily the screen and touch layer managed to survive .
I searched web for replacements but i didn't find the glass. I only managed to find a glass with whole display. The cost of whole thing was about 50$-100$. The price of that part was too expensive to make it happen (i bought phone for about 140$).
Soo i have came up with bright idea. I was gonna remove the screen glass like this girl on video (Search YouTube for "HOW TO REPLACE A SMARTPHONE SCREEN!" uploaded by "everythingdiy").
Thing was very easy because LG don't have any physical buttons on front and the whole "frame thing" was attached to bottom layers (With samsung phones the "frame thing" is attached to glass").
After removing broken glass i cleaned everything up with just a tissue.
Next step was the easiest one. I bought online a tempered glass protector and applied it on my screen.
Here you go, everything is working very well !
I have payed for replacing my screen glass about 5$ (+ work with removing old glass)
I think i have helped someone with similar problems.
REMEMBER !! To preform this your display and touch must work !!! You are doing it on your own and i don't take any responsibility if you damage your phone !!!
what tempered glass protector did you buy? please can you send a link
also, when you remove the glass, was it attach to the lcd with glue?

I bought the cheapest one Any tempered glass will do the job.
The glass was attached to the LCD with glue. Make sure to warm up the screen with hair dryer or heat gun
You can try removing that glass at any point. Just google "removing phone screen glass" or something like that.
Remember it's not that easy as it sounds, the display is very fragile.
