Screen glued to front glass?

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.

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've cleaned this thread- instead of responding to 'trolls' and comments please hit the report button - it's far easier to clean up. Thank you, now carry on intelligently discussing the Samsung Note.

i might finally get a good screen protector.

Seriously,
Will you need a screen protector for this phone?
Im changing from an iphone 4 and my sons (iphone 4) if full of scratches.
Ive never used a pda or smartphone without a protector (martin fields) yet, will I be safe to exclude one with the note?

I've had my Captivate (with gorilla glass) for over a year and there isn't a scratch on it. I am careful, however, the glass is pretty durable. I've never liked screen protectors, they always degrade the view of the screen somewhat. Yes, I've always purchased quality screen protectors, that isn't the problem

My only worry is using a stylus on the screen on a regular basis.

Well, think about this - will you actually be using the stylus all the time? I'm still going to be using my finger for most things, unless I really want to make precise lines, write, etc. I'm not going to color or paint, that isn't something I'd do, but write lists, perhaps...that's about it. So, if it only comes out occasionally, then I don't see the issue. It is glass, after all, not a soft material like my old Palm unit - I wore out the upper corners playing solitaire

I've had my Dell Streak for over a year. First 3 month, kept a screen protector on it, but I took it off and have been screen protector free since. In and out of a pouch dozens of times a day, not one scratch. If it has gorilla glass, don't worry about it unless you use a diamond tip

If you're pressing hard enough to make noise, I actually wonder if the screen is going to break the stylus. The tip looks like it's made of plastic.
Slightly off topic, if you write a lot it might be worth getting a screen protector so the surface has more friction. I used to stick scotch tape to my palm so the stylus felt more like a pencil.
- Frank

Back in the days of the windows tablet (yes long before the iPad) I had an Acer that I could only operate with a stylus. A wacom stylus, with the same tip as the one that comes with the Note. I used it for years on a day to day basis and even used a writing to text input. Not a scratch! And this was without a screen protector.
Because the Note has a (gorilla) glass screen (in contrast to the Acer which had some kind of plastic screen) it didn't even come to my mind that I could ever scratch the Note screen with the stylus.

[Q] Cracked glass - super glue and zagg screen protector

OK so first off I know I'm a cheap sod :angel:
My SG Nexus got wet and I'm waiting for the LG N4 to become in stock again...
So I've got myself a SG Note off eBay in perfect working order apart from one long crack that runs though only the glass (the OLED is fine).
I've looked into replacing the glass and tbh even thought I'm an engineer, nope.
My cunning plan is to fill the crack with superglue (let it dry) then slap on a zagg screen protector on it.
Any comments or ideas? Maybe lose the super glue? Maybe use something else other than superglue?
All ideas welcome - photos to follow when it gets here.

Just lose the super glue. The screen protector is enough. I would recommend the SGP screen protector maybe even the glass one.

I'd skip the superglue since it's vapours will possibly stain the digitizer... In other words, it will make a mess!

Now that is something I had over looked. I had thought the glue would chemically react with anything. Have a digital cookie mate

Also if the glue sat proud when dry even a tiny bit the screen protector wont follow the contour & will have that nasty "lifting" look to it along the crack that you get at edges of screens some times.
I would fit a glass even if its involved, the part is about £15 & if you continue to use the phone cracked you risk pressure on your LCD & that's not cheap.

Thanks, but installing the glass involves separating the glass and OLED and there glued together. You have to heat the glass with a heat gun then pull them apart. I'm thinking that's going to crack the OLED.

That thread is a bit scary isn't it, its one of those jobs where having seen one done & exactly what's involved drastically increases the chances of success but most people haven't got that luxury.
But, if i wanted the phone repaired i would see risking the cheap way first as a worthwhile gamble.
But hope your screen "protector over crack" method works for you.

seems legit.

What about the car windsheild repair kits ? The ones that Auto-Glass (UK) use to fill cracks and chips on car windsheilds ? It leaves no residue either, Its basically like liquid glass until it sets.
worth looking it to surely ? would be cheaper than a whole Screen replacement.

Dam good link. I like the idea of one of those oil. Maybe baby oil would be to viscose (runny) so I'm thinking that a drop of two of that corn sirpe could do the trick... maybe even some wax? I got some clear natural beaswax... I feel some experimentation coming on....

Cracked my note 4 screen.....

I just cracked the screen on my note 4 [emoji47]. It is an extremely thin hairline crack that can't be felt by rubbing on the screen but can be felt by passing your nail over it. It's not really noticiable unless the screen is off. Since this is the first time this has ever happend to me im not quite sure what to do. I do have the JUMP! service which includes insurance but how much would i have to pay to get this cracked screen replaced through jump?
What should i do? [emoji22]

Dang, I'm hurting with you!

I think the Co pay is $150 they wouldn't repair it I think they will exchange it.

How did it happen?

It's 175 deductible unless it went up lately

According to Samsung advertising, you should be able to drop the Note 4 on a concrete slab from waist high a thousand times without a problem. You only dropped yours once - has to be defective! Check the video below.

I do have a case on it which i specifically bought with the fastest shipping option on amazon to never have my phone without a case. But it still cracked.. Must have been a tiny rock thats taller than the 7mm lip this case has. I had been looking for a glass screen protector since i purchased the case 2 weeks ago and couldn't find any with good reviews Unlucky me.
What do you guys think i should do? Should i file a claim and pay the $175 or should i wait it out until there are screen repair kits and fix it myself? Or do i have any other options?

If it doesn't bother you that bad, you could just wait until it spreads or gets to where it does bother you... Personally, I am obsessive about such things, so I would replace it using JUMP!... I have this as a screen protector - http://www.bodyguardz.com/screengua...-skins-films.html?dir=asc&order=sort_priority -, and different cases for different "outings" a thin Sammie-case, and an Otterbox Defender... Otterbox Defender only comes in black right now, but I HAD to get max protection RIGHT away... Instances like your's happen to us all after all... Anyway, the PURE Glass Protector is great feeling and very protective... I have used them on 3 devices thus far, and stick with them... They have a replacement program that gives you super discounts if you need to replace it also, instead of having to buy another (Advantage Program)... Anyway, hope these options will help... I know how much this new device being damaged must bother you, but the replacement you get will be well protected I am sure (plus, the protection is available now, where it wasn't, when we first received our devices)... You can have these items waiting on your next device, if you choose to!! Let me know if you find other alternatives worth exploring, these are just my favorite options as of now...

If it bugs you a lot, i'll file a claim. It's not easy to fix it yourself since most samsung phones the digitizer and LCD is glued together. Very hard to remove it separately if you're not experienced. If you prefer to do it yourself, it is best to order it as one piece but be prepared to pay a pretty penny which would guaranteed to exceed $175.

I feel for the OP. I just got my Note4 and the thought of cracking it's gorgeous screen scares me. Unfortunately I have to wait until I get paid to order a case for it. Until then I have a nice padded case for my Kindle Paper white that I can use.

i think i cracked mine too in the middle,right. Its small. And i have no idea how it happend. The phone never fell of my hands or hit it with something. Its a T mob N4, maybe the T Mob version its not the same quality as the N4 for europe?

Your phone it cracked because you or someone else has knowingly /unknowingly mishandled your phone.

If you say one doesn't notice it unless the screen is off, then it may not be that bad... BUT if it bother's much, the $175 deductable is the cheapest route in getting it fixed. Technically it'll be a replacement, so better than getting it fixed. They'll say its a refurb, but its new.

Consider yourself lucky man, with the s**t digitisers we had on the nexus 4 any crack in the glass above the screen would result in an unusable touch panel. I understand that cracked glass is never a good thing but at least you can still use the device!
I don't want to sound like a d**k but the purpose of Gorilla Glass 3 is scratch protection, not drop protection. Moto just released a shatterproof phone for that if I'm not wrong.
Hard glass on unprotected edges is always gonna break.

I don't like the black at all but that's what I have right now so I need to get used to it.
I hope I will be able to get along with the phone for one more year and then probably I'll replace it.
Right now he works really good.
It took the engineer to replace the broken screen with a new one about one hour and he always mumbled bad things about Motorola and how they build their phones.
He tried to put the back bamboo case to it's place and failed many times because the glue just won't work..
He told me to wait some time so the glue would get sticky to the phone itself.
Next time, I will buy a phone that have wider support in my country, make sure I have a flip case from the very beginning and make sure that you can unplug the battery from the phone.
That phone is awesome but has a quite long list of disadvantages...

Awesome that you could already have it serviced!
I see your point though, and I understand that in this thriving "free" market we can only choose the best compromise for our needs. I wouldn't buy a LG just for the removable battery and the repair support, but I can totally see why it looks like a viable choice for you right now.
As much as I like this phone, glue never looks like a good solution for pieces that are gonna be serviced sooner or later... As for the screen assembly, well, I guess every manufacturer now makes the digitiser and glass into one single part.
That being said, enjoy your moto and keep it for a while
