One of the things i loved by my (now sold) iphone 4, is that the screen is glued to the frontglass. This prevents dust from ever getting inn the screen. I really hate dust in the screen.
Do the optimus 2x glue the screen to the glass?? Anyone know.
I don't know about the O2X, but all the android phones I've had over the last few years have NEVER had dust under the screen/glass.
Same.
Never had dust under the screen on my Nexus but i did on my G1 (only because it was falling apart and i'd messed with the insides too much )
So far no dust or anything under the screen, but i did notice that the very small groove that runs around the edge between the phone and the silver band collects ALOT of dust which is kinda hard to get rid of.
Overall though, this phone has the best build quality of any i've ever owned!
Same over here, no dust.
I don't think you should be worried about this. The screens on newer devices are quite well sealed. No dust should be able to get in there. And yes, you will get dirt build up on the grooves along the outer edge but that's quite unavoidable and can be cleaned with a really small pin.
I have 1 small spec of dust in the lower left corner of my screen (only visible when light shines directly on the screen).
but this could be from manufacture
My HTC desire had a build up of dust down the left hand side of the screen due to a faulty seal around the glass
I had 2 with dust under screen. and by that I dont know if with time it gets more dust, or its just at assembly.
if the screen was glued wouldnt that be bad if the screen cracks?

The glue is easy to get rid of with some heat. So no problem if it cracks or you have to change a scratched one.

Gorilla glass doesn't mean it can't be breaked, but it won't break that easy.

The impact wasn't really hard at all and still... you can see the result. As far as I understand, gorilla glass means it won't SCRATCH (not break) that easy.

i got two scratches and I have no idea how i even got them :-(
Gorilla glass is just a hype. It scratches as easy as all other glasses.
I just wonder if it's GLUED to the screen or not. Not if it scratches.

It is glued. I went to the repair shop a couple of days ago to find out whether they could replace the broken glass on my phone. They highly recommended replacing the glass together with the display as one unit because, as they said, the glass is glued to the dislay and replacing just the glass is not only pretty difficult but can also result in dust getting between the glass and the display.

well.. i am thinking to change my screen because it has light leakage. " imported, so if to return it back it would cost me like 100$ at least plus whatever tax. so replace the screen from my own pocket is cheaper "
and i dont mind that BUT. where can i buy the screen with the front glass together ?
i dont want to buy the screen alone. does anyone have a good website where we can buy parts?

I you want to find a LCD without leakage you need to look forever. All LCD's has some kind of leakage.

Hi guys,
So my mum dropped the Optimus Black that I bought her and it has cracked on the front - can someone on here please tell me how I would check whether it is only the front glass screen that needs replaced or the actual entire LCD? I'm very n00bish when it comes to this stuff.
Thanks all
Ok, I'm pretttty sure it's only the outer glass screen that's shattered and the actual LCD is fine.
Ordered a replacement part online, will update you all on how difficult it is to replace .
can you tell me where you ordered it ? I'm looking that too
Damn that sucks

if the screen is still running, I am pretty sure it is just the upper layer of the LCD screen.

I changed the digitizer of my previous phone, the Galaxy Spica, and the digitizer was glued to the outer rim of the LCD so i had to use force to get them apart.
Br,
zaitz
My friend's p990 also had a scratch on his screen
seems this gorrilla is just a chimp
Pretty sure it's not "titanium glass", just hardened glass, so don't expect it to be invulnerable. Get a screen protector, don't put your phone in with keys, coins, or anything else with sharp edges, and don't drop your phone this should keep it nice and shiny for a long time.
I once cracked my screen of Desire HD... Before buying anything, be 100% sure whether the top glass is mounted onto the LCD below; or glued to it with some sort of special chemical.
When I broke my DHD screen; I bought only the upper glass part from Ebay. But turned it, the top glass part was glued to the LCD. So I had to buy the LCD and glass part together...

but the "advertisement" on u-thub says differently
does anyone has a how to for dissasembling the phone?
the screen is scratch resistant. personally tried and tested using a sharp knife. i still use a screen protector, though, because we can never tell! i guess gorilla glass is still glass. it's just scratch and impact resistant, as seen on youtube.
This happened to me too the other day. The phone slipped out of my hand and onto a rather soft vinyl floor. Screen is now cracked all over, but working.
As it seems no-one here has been able to replace the screen themselves with ebay replacement glass (probably plastic anyway), I'll just throw my OB in the trash, and gladly so, because of LG's broken promises to update the phone. Thinking back, I might even have had a smirk on my face when I realized what had happened. At least now I have an excuse to get the Galaxy Nexus or some other phone from a decent, self-respecting company, and finally be at peace with the phone I own. With the OB I could feel a bit of frustration every time I used it. Frustration (or pity really) is something I also felt when I checked this forum, since the mods kept closing all the GB-related threads for no apparent reason other than to demonstrate their power.
Without LG, life will indeed be good
"the screen is scratch resistant" - well i made a scratch by simply cleaning the screen with some textil made for cleaning glasses

The glass would need to be capacitive touchscreen capable I think?
Would be interesting/good if that is true.
Samsung service centre told me before that the original amoled screen, touch panel and glass comes as a single unit/ part.
Hope you are right.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
The capacitive touch panel IS the glass. You cannot order any glass and place it on top of the screen. You need a touch panel, and yes, they come as an assy with the screen.
For 100% You will need a touch panel.
i still have the touch on the screen and am still able to use the phone i know its a oem screen from samsung as the screen was new when got it from shop ... funny how people jump the gun and think that somethink that (cant be done ) can be done im happy to go on fb ring txt and everything else on this phone with the glass OFF!!! and is 100% useable can even upload a video to youtube and will show you lot wrong hahaha whos larfing now ..... my ass you need to go out and buy the whole lot ... no you dont as i have showen you . the way i found out was i had a old samsung i9000 and it was busted to hell . so had a go at taking the screen away from the bk and saw that you have the screen then touch panel glued together then the touch to the glass so i fort with my working i9000 (with cracked glass only) i start tapping away from the front and there you have it . it started to work and then atm to stop me from scraching the touch sheet coz its not glass its like a soft plastic i am using a screen guard and its working a charm .... show me wrong people but im sat here with the glass off my phone and phone still working . i give this job a 9/10 on hardness tho so good luck

hi, if anyone is still interested. this is really pssible, ive separated the outer glass 5 min ago. used a thin sheet of plastic and the heat of a hair dryer. it took me an hour to do so
The glass would need to be capacitive touchscreen
Funny how people can't seem to be able to read.
He's PROVEN separate glass to be the case, it's not a question.
Now whether or not a new glass can be fitted onto the old capacitive layer just like that remains to be seen...

i can CONFIRM, that the outer Gorilla glass is just a tempered glass thats glued to lcd/digitizer assebly with transparent silicone-like glue. the touchscreen works 100% fine without the gorilla glass. ive ordered the replacement for outer glass and will report back when i get it and if it works right with some video footage. unfortunately i wil have to wait for it for about 3 week, because its located in china
Did the new glass worked?
Hello there, since I recently got my glass look like a willow tree at the late autumn (dropped my Galaxy S and the glass is all cracked up) but the touchscreen is still intact and fully operational and working flawlessly I am interested on your progress to know if it's possible to fix just the glass and to get eventual information on how you did it if you succeeded with replacing just the glass, info on where you got a new glass and stuff would also be much appreciated in case your homemade repair worked. Thanks in advance.
Any news? The ten days should be over now....
Same problem
Any news? I have the same problem.

IT IS POSSIBLE... but i have failed
Last days i have finally try to change only the glass on my i9000. No success, but i was very close.
After i have clean the remaining glue from the glass that i buy i have follow the steps from the youtube video from post before. I mention that S3 glass seems to be more flexible and the glue a little more soft.
I have warm up the display surface but not to warm (after i remove the main-board and other).
After i have started to take the glass piece by piece with my swiss multi knife (big mistake)
I have proceed with careful until i have started to be more and more sure at me, and, as you can imagine i have make the big mistake - broke the display.
I don't know if in glass removing process or when i have try to remove the remaining glue with a microfiber tissue i have press a little to hard and i broke the display (a little rift).
I have failed but i am sure if you have patience and more appropriate tool you can succeed.
Please take in calculus that without the glue between the two parts the screen is more reflexive and the contrast is not like before. There is no electrical connection between the touch and the display.
Now the touch under the rift on the screen is not working anymore and the phone is almost useless. The top part of display is working perfect!
Sorry for my english and here is some pictures:
Nice
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
Odp: [Q] Broken screen
