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
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.
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.
I had an expensive curved screen protector installed at a Verizon store. I never scratch the screens on my phone's because I keep my phone in my front right pocket with nothing else ever in that pocket.
With the curved screen, with functionality where the curve is, the edge of the screen protectors both get in the way and also tend to accumulate dust and debris around the edges.
Others may feel differently, with the flat screens they were Ok, but in IMHO on these curved screens - in my situation - a total waste of money!
I use wet install protectors, full body no problems as you describe
I use a glass screen protector and have none of your problems, only the dust.
From day one, I've used very cheap curved glass, no more than £2 -£3 a unit sometimes cheaper and no probs.
Can't understand the issues I see on these threads. Minimal dust inbetween top and bottom where case meets glass, that's it.
i have had the note 8 for a few months now and zagg glass came from verizon when i bought it. I have replaced 6 times because they have broken. there is only glue on the edges so first off after a day or two the screen is harder to use because there is a tiny gap inbetween glass and screen usually happens in one corner. Second i break them all the time because the edges get dusty the glue stops sticking and it pops off and breaks. I am going to get my replacement(i dont pay shipping for warranty because it has happened so many times) then I am going to try something else that will stay on. Any suggestions?
I bought my Note 8 used and the previous owner had a TGSP on it. Couldn't tell you brand or how much he paid, only that he had it on since he bought the phone brand new a month prior.
Touch sensitivity was TERRIBLE. I had to push are to type or select things. There's was dust between thr TGSP and the screen, which I didn't think was a big deal, just annoying, until I took thr TGSP off. One speck of "dust" thst was stuck between thr TGSP and thr screen actually etched a small mark in the screen.
It's tiny, but it's there. A wet install screen protector hides it 100%, but it's annoying to have a mark on what is otherwise perfect screen. More annoying that it was caused by a screen protector, which is suppose 9tp prevent scratches.

Have a look on Amazon or EBay. I believe that they're all the same TBH.
I think the trick is in the installation, so instal with the case on, that will help with alignment.
Try this one, had it on for about 6wks straight, no probs, and is a pack of 2.

I bought three Note 8 glass protectors and they were all complete junk (Inskin and some other brand, Can't recall right now). They were so bad that I had to rip them off after 5 min. Touch sensitivity was absolutely horrible, as the adhesive was only around the edges. Been using glass for years before this, so thought they would at least be fine for a bit... but not even close. Whitestone Dome on the way now though. Fingers crossed it does the job as it should.

Yeah were screwed. Ive been using my phone with no screen protector and I have been VERY careful, I even have a flip case from samsung to make sure scratches will be mimized BUT last night when I was cleaning my phone, there were several scratches and 3 tiny holes. With a phones that I have owned, the note 8 is the easiest one to get scratched OR I just got a bad batch
Yeah they use newer Gorilla Glass, iirc... More impact resistant but also less scratch resistant than before.

Still gunk around the edges. Anything between the flip case and the screen when closed pushes the stuff against the screen and rubs it in. I just keep the phone in a front pants pocket with nothing else in that pocket. I go years without a scratch.
