I already did it, but they want to replace the glass and the lcd screen, which is almost the same price of a new phone

I'm brazilian and they are charging R$ 540,00, more less U$ 270,00....
Im pretty sure the "glass" you're talking about is a unit with the lcd.... you cant change it separately. And yes, it's by far the most expensive part on a phone nowadays.

Are you sure this device has gorilla glass? Btw it's just a single piece, I recommend you to buy a bricked i9070 and replace the motherboard from your device to the bricked device, (easiest than replacing lcd), or you can replace the lcd (maybe from i9070P too) it's the cheapest solution for you

I am sure.. Gorilla glass behaves different.. It's kind of bouncy when you tap with your fingernails or use a pen.. Same feedback from s2 and ace.. I think it's possible to replace only the protective glass
.. Unless the lcd and protective glass are fused (like in s2)

Yes, I heard about that our brazilian SII don't have Gorilla Glass, btw I'm sure that GSA doesn't have it too. I'll keep my phone until it get unusable or maybe I'll give it to my mother and buy another one!
After watching some videos on youtube, and find this front glass replacement at ebay Screen replacement... I would like to know if I could do the same thing to replace my GSA's front glass?!
first of all, it seems that's much more difficult to replace broken glass on such a device than just replace a lcd in a simple phone like nokia e51 or anything like that. according to some guy in another forum, at home you'd never be able to replace glass only in a device like galaxy s/s2 or s3 - it's told to be some kind of gel between the glass and the digitizer that you'll never be able to put it back together to make it look and work like brand new - even on successful tearing apart the old parts and putting them together to work, you'd still have some odd dull sound of empty space when tapping the screen IF YOU SUCCEED, but I repeat it's not obvious - guess why s or s2 with broken glass are so cheap? yeah, got it - it's really not easy to do it by yourselves.
btw. don't spread rumours about the brazilian i9070 to be deprived of gorilla glass - i9070 doesn't have gg, nowhere in the world. samsung sites were displaying this information some time ago but they seem to remove it - they no longer boast of gg in i9070
I had an LG Optimus 2X P990 with GG, and I replaced the glass by myself that time. It was was pretty easy.

Can this be related to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2304680 ?
did you find out from where the water entered the mobile? i suspect like most of the cases, it had entered from behind where the back glass was loose due to heating issues.
If you have the device with you can you check if the back plate is loose?
Wow insane! Sony should fix it on warranty! Get in touch with Sony head office in your country. Post it on Facebook. If the white markers are white and u still got the water then surely they have to fix it!

1- open all port ( like SDcard-Sim-3,5mm-Usb-) all
2- rotate your Z upside down (3,5mm in bottom) :silly:
3- blow up into 3,5mm port
4- some water should be out in your Z
5- Enter your Z to bag contains rice
6- after few days (3-5 days)
7- charge your Z if it not turned on then status i have no idea (Z need some doctors)
its work for me

Hello,
I broke my xperia sp digitizer and I could find several replacement parts on ebay, although no disassebly guide seem to be available.
Has any of you ever replaced it successfully?
I wonder how to separate the screen from the actual digitizer.
Many thanks
Think the digitizer come as unit already stuck together

you mean the digitizer and it plastic, or the digitizer and the screen.
Are the digitizer and the screen separated?
I mean screen and digitizer come stuck together you can't separate.
I know with nexus7 it is this way, and from what I searched on Google you can't get them as separates units.

that means that the digitizers on ebay are not good, since they should be a unique unit (digitizer+screen)?
for example item: 271210909026
on ebay
I couldn't find the whole screen+digitizer
Looks like I have learnt something new...sorry I have given you wrong info.

You can separate the screen from the digitizer(touch glass). They are not combined together.
If your SP digitizer broken, you can choose to replace the the touch glass or the touch glass with front housing. You don't need to replace a new screen.
For mostly phones, the screen and digitizer are glued together. But Xperia SP is different.
So what " zolaisugly" said is wrong.
Here is a guide: http://youtu.be/CVannSZ-Pck
It's not in English but it's clear enough
Warning: you can take everything out of the phone with ease but if you want to get to the screen you need to unscrew the small pentalobe screws on the side bezel of the phone

Compatible parts
Hi, can someone help me? I buyed a digitaliser on ebay and I have replaced this fine, but the touch is very bad, very unresponsive, glove mode doesn,t work now and multitouch ******
The seller gave me the money back
Now I want to buy an ORIGINAL PART FROM SONY, not compatible parts. Where I can go to buy this?
Please help me! Now I have installed the broken glass because it works fine. I prefer the broken glass to a clean glass but unresponsive.
The Sony digitaliser contains both active and passive capacitors that's why it can have glove mode and mutitouch perhaps the digitaliser you bought only contained passive capacitors. That's the normal ones. Try a more expensive one. Also those problems could be caused by a bad connection try cleaning the connections with contact cleaner. If you want to be sure its a Sony part you may have to go to a Sony centre.

If its marked as an OEM part then it should be made by the same manufacturer as the original part so that would be your best bet. Unfortunately online it hard to be sure.

On my broken screen it says the same but "40" / "48" (i,m not sure because it,s installed yet) instead of "8" Can be a part of the region code?
The digitiser of the models C5302 / C5303 / C5306 / M35h are the same?
Thanks bro, this thread will help more people in the future
EDIT: On my original broken screen it says "44" xD
The xperia SP range are all identical hardware the difference is the radio baseband ie the frequencies they are capable of receiving. The C5302= 3g version C5303= global LTE/4G version and the C5306= american LTE version I would just buy an OEM digitaliser and fit that

More Info
I have found more information:
On the photo you can see how the fake glass have 3 dots on top when the original SP cristal have 2
On the picture is not appreciated but you can see how obviously the white is not the same in both, The original have a brilliant white and the fake have darker white.
When you give touches at the original cristal it feels sturdy but on the fake cristal sounds cheap

Yes, I showered it, soaped it, shampoo it, took underwater pics, took it underwater
And nothing went wrong
Safely take your phone underwater
If anything goes wrong, I personally replace my Z1 by yours!!
Perfect for a quick porn in the shower
Here is my shoot with Xperia Z1 underwater (Sea water).
Those are my nephew excited to have underwater picture with my phone
There is no damage on my phone, no malfunction, everything is perfect. Camera is not fogged and etc.
I wash it in clear water after using it in sea, and you only need to let it dry about 20minutes to speaker gets dry so i can play music.
You can listen music moment you pull it out of water, but its dimmed because of water.
Took mine in the pool, works perfect no issues. I was super nervous but glad I did. Love this phone.

If the break is just on the screen and it's just on the surface, it's still water proof
For example, using knife instead of pen, cracks your screen but it's still water proof
But if the screen is broken, for example fell from 10th floor, so it's no more water proof

I wouldn't risk it with your screen like that tbh...
That's just my opinion though
I wouldn't risk it either. If water enters the phone and it breaks, it won't be covered by the warranty as Sony would blame it on the cracked screen and they would propably be right!
