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?

A few days ago I cracked the glass screen on my Dinc. There wasn't any significant damage aside from the crack, and my LCD screen is working fine, so I ordered a replacement on Amazon thinking I could replace it. I found a screen which reviewers claimed came with the tools necessary to replace the screens, although the product did not advertise it as such. I made the order to find that the replacement did not come with any tools, and now I am stumped. Does anyone know where I can find cheap (and usable) tools to crack open my Dinc? I was hoping to finish this before I return to college in a few weeks and I'd rather not go back with a broken screen.
Thanks in advance!
Not sure what "tools" you're looking for, but there are only a few things you need to take your dinc apart (I just did this with mine):
1. T6 screwdriver to remove 4 screws on the big red cover
2. A small flat-head screwdriver to release block clips around the big red housing and pop it off. (also used to open up the ribbon cable clips)
3. small philips-head screwdriver to remove screws securing the main board and LCD
4. X-acto knife + hairdryer to remove the digitizer (the glass that you cracked)
Do yourself a favor and order the digitizer with the frame. It eliminates the need to pry the broken glass out completely. It is a little more expensive, I think I paid $35 for mine, but well worth the time and effort! All in all it took me about an hour to complete mine! BTW, I found and ordered all the parts and tools from amazon.
Sounds like you cracked the digitizer yet you ordered a new screen?

Although the sentence structure is somewhat ambiguous, it sounds like he bought the correct replacement part, a digitizer.

I'll vouch for this, it's the biggest headache to replace JUST the glass.
Since you already got the glass, you can go ahead and order a bezel by itself if you want... make sure you get one that has adhesive on the metal lip on the inside so the dust won't get in there

Exactly. I made the mistake of ordering JUST the screen and it was a complete headache. I subsequently ordered the frame/screen combo. Much easier.

yeah i replaced mine but now i have trouble with the touch screen not working right. It randomly registers touches on the screen. Hope you don't run in to the same issue.
Glad to hear people are having success replacing these. I have a friend who's cracked his recently and will pass this thread on to him.
I replaced my screen with the digitizer/screen combo bought on amazon for under $20. it's a pain to install, but I found a good video on youtube and used their blowdryer method to make the glue more easy to manage and allow the screen to come off in fewer pieces. Also when you put the little ribbons back into their connectors make sure you get them all the way in - I had 256 color-like graphics for a little bit until I reconnected the screen properly
I've done it multiple times. I'm not clumsy, I just got the phone broken in the first place .
While it would make it easier to get the bezel, it can be done fine with just the digitizer.
They give you all the little plastic tools you need usually.
The last time I did it I used Krazy glue instead of very thin double sided tape.
I can answer any specific questions you have when replacing the digitizer if you want.
One request I have for you:
When I put the trackball back into place I wasn't sure if I did the correct order. It still works but it looks a little more recessed then it should be. Not a big deal, but it annoys me a tiny bit that my phone isn't perfect.
Could you record the exact order in which you disassemble it? It might even help you out later

I just replaced my screen tonight with an amazon digitizer kit and my trackball is also recessed. Might just open it back up and jam some leftover adhesive underneath it. I would recommend buying the frame though as it was a bit of a b*tch prying broken glass shards and adhesive from the thing. Would also make the phone look better as well..

i dont have a cracked screen but a very banged up bezel and battery cover. i calculated it and everything will cost me a total of $35 to replace. this includes the digitizer, bezel, battery cover and camera lens. cant wait to get this done.
thanks for the info on here.
Order the digitizer WITH the housing shell. I cracked my screen, too, and ordered the digitizer/screen only and ended up damaging my housing shell. The hairdryer trick is bogus and doesn't work very well, so spend the extra $10 to get the housing.
I was going to repare the screen to resell on Ebay, but since I broke the housing, I decided to just sell the actual AMOLED screen for $40. I'll find other parts I can sell, too, such as the motherboard and camera piece. Might actually end up making more money. Ah well.
I don't use Verizon anymore, which is why I ditched the DInc. Will miss it though. I do love HTC Sense. I have a Samsung Exhibit II now.
My first time doing this was with the digitizer only. Biggest mistake of my life! I could've made it work, but I was getting it replaced since it was bricked and superglue oozing out the sides might have raised some eyebrows. Digitizer+frame, void sticker, and 2 weeks later I had a "new" dinc.
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 .

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,

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

P970 screen is Gorilla Glass. But I'm not sure about the replacement one from eBay.
Hi all,
I recently fell whilst holding my brand new N6 and cracked the screen pretty bad. The digitiser and LCD appear to work OK, so I'm taking the plunge and will try and replace the glass myself.
I've replaced the display module (glass, LCD and digitiser) for a number of family/friend's phones and feel comfortable about working with the small electronics. I've been reading and watching countless tutorials on the removal of the glass from the rest of the display assembly but and yet to find any information specifically about doing this on the N6. Specifically, I'm worried about how the speakers will affect the glass removal process.
If anyone has any N6 specific info, it would be most appreciated. I'm waiting for the replacement glass to arrive, I'll update this thread with how i get on!

with the iphone it was both the LCD and Digitizer I was replacing and they came together as one................same with the N7, both together, trying to install/remove these separately is suicide unless you have the right tools etc........
Have you bought the LCD/Digitizer toggether inside the silver bezel, I didn't, and I should have.........
basically there was a small cable on the back of the LCD/Digitizer that was present on the old damaged module, but not on the new one I had bought, I tried removing form the old and into the new, plugged in the normal power and screen cables, but then nothing, didn't work, my frustration also resulted in a small crack to the new screen.............
it possible but you need to have patience and the tools, which it sound like you do.......but its much easier already inside the silver bezel...........
the screen was glued into the bezel and removing this was murder, managed it, but had to pick out all the smashed glass bit by bit........
don't let me put you off though, you sound more competent than me........

I haven't bought the replacement display module yet for the Nexus 7. Thanks for the info, think i'll try and get one with a bezel to be on the safe side.
its definitely the way to go as you will just be popping off the back cover, releasing the ribbon cables, removing some screws, peeling back some adhesive tape and that's you.........
and any dings to the bezel will dissapear too............
Removing the LCD ribbon cable on N6 is PITA I don't want to even think how to plug in the new one. The digitizer is easy since there is lock on it but the LCD just plugs in with lots of friction.
Any tips?

I'm experiencing the same problem. I've replaced the digitizers/screens on all versions of the iPhone and also on the Samsung Galaxy S4. I successfully replaced only the glass on some Samsung devices too. I'm wondering if I'll be able to do this with the Nexus 6 if I just buy the $10 replacement glass.
Thanks. Hope to hear your results soon.
EDIT: I've scoured YouTube in search of videos showing how to replace the GLASS ONLY, but I can only find videos showing how to replace the entire digitizer. So I'm desperate for any information on this. Haha.

I was reading ifixit's how to guide. They state that the digitizer is fused to the glass. Possibly that's why everyone stops at this step.....

Can I ask where this is from? I've cracked the glass, screen works fine.
yes the glass repair is possible i am uploading photos of the process i did. i do work for a cell phone repair company and this has been a very common repair. Nexus 6 glass only repair with the use of OCA (optical clear adhesive) and bonded together with an ridge to ridge lamintator and and mini autoclave.
It turns out Motorola Official repair was £128 plus the postage to send them the phone in the first place.
I am unfortunately in the same boat. I sustained probably 15 scratches that my fingernail could get stuck on them all. My phone scraped along an artificial hardwood floor when a dog stepped on it facedown and slid. So I bought some cerium oxide in an attempt to sand down and buff away the scratches. I was not successful, and it looks like I added some more scratches. I'm going to put up with them until I get more, then replace the screen & digitizer probably while also adding a screen protector. I hate the feel of screen protectors though

Impressive. What's your process for separating the cracked glass from the digitizer?
Although I'm sure the OP was asking for a way that doesn't require thousands of dollars worth of specialized equipment.
Has the OP given up on this project? I cracked my glass the other day however the digitizer still works just fine. I wanted to know if there was a do it yourself way to change the crystal without having to purchase a digitizer/crystal combo?
Thanks
Guys,
I broke my screen, the LCD is good but the digitizer doesn't work. Aparently, this phone works differently from olders phones in which you can replace only the digitizer, but not this one since are fused together.
My question are:
Where can I buy one that WILL work? (i bought one in ebay and was faulty)
Will any LG G2 screen fit the VS980 (D805, D802, etc)?
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks!

If you haven't already got one, you can get it at repairsuniverse - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/lg-g2-lcd-touch-screen-digitizer-replacement-black-verizon.html
The repair is a little delicate in that you have to completely disassemble the phone and pry the screen out. You don't need a proper heat gun, a hair dryer will work just fine. One problem to be aware of: the screen really needs to fit flush against things otherwise the proximity sensor (top left of screen) will think that something is near it all the time and will make the screen turn off and you'll struggle to get it on again. They supply you with double-sided tape and it sorta-kinda works if you're careful. Pro tip: don't do what I did and unseat the newly-installed screen without heating it - you'll damage the screen. Also, superglue seems to do bad things to the screen. I now have a fully functioning digitizer with a screen that looks like hell. YMMV.
I am also in the same boat, having dropped it this past weekend. LCD works, not digitizer.
Any thoughts on replacing just the digitizer/glass vs. getting the whole assembly with the LCD? Seems significantly more dificult, considering the heat gun/glue assembly and only about a $30 difference between the two methods based on ebay prices.

Any suggestions on getting this LCD vs. one from ebay that is also pre-attached to the frame and comes with tools? They seem identical otherwise.
Hi,
I have some experience since I replaced twice mine lol xD
There're no good quality screens (they are all copies, no OEM screens) and all 3 that I got from 3 differentes vendors suffers from yellowish spot on the lower left corner (its not my phone that has an issue, one screen actually was a phone that I bought on ebay and had the screen replaced and still suffered from that) and others from misalignment. Here's a pic that I had to send to an ebay seller to prove them that their screens were ****:
http://i62.tinypic.com/15mn1w1.jpg
And got the money back at least.
The digitizer and the lcd are fused, so if you try with digitizer/glass and screen apart, you'll have to buy optical glue in order to fuse them, if not you'll end up with two things glued together that looks awful.
If you go with the whole assembly, its luck to have one that works, so you'll have to be patient and asume that you may receive an awful screen. Luckly, ebay protect you, so if you're not in a hurry you can test until you grab the working one.
Any question if I can help, just le met know.
