I dropped my Samsung Focus and broke the screen glass. The touch screen works fine and i think only the outer screen glass has to be replaced.
I have searched on internet and found DIY repair videos to replace the LCD screen, but couldn't find any info about replacing the outer glass alone. But read its pretty hard to seperate the glass from LCD and replace it !!!
The LCD screen is costing around 120$ and the outer glass is costing 10-16$. I do not want to spend more unnecessarily if i can find a way to replace the outer glass myself.
Also, Samsung Focus is not oficially released here in India here, so i don't think i can approach the samsung itself.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Samsung focus lcd broken
Hi pranav. Same here , i have a samsung focus and lcd + outer glass screen is broken. In one of the screen replacement video i saw , the outer screen and the lcd as one unit and not seperate. Though , i am not completely sure.
Did you find a way to get the lcd or the outer glass for your phone in India?
Please contact me on [email protected]
Did you find a source for the replacement glass only? Please share.
I found only glass on eBay (hongkong or china i suppose). When i spoke to people from service center, all of them were saying it is not possible to replace only glass and they wont do it !!! i i don't know if it is really tough or they do not want to take much pain replacing glass and want to replace the whole LCD set which is easy for them.
And the total LCD + Digitizer + glass kit, i found it for 103$ in eBay US, and for 120 - 140$ in some other repair sites and Amazon.
Waiting for get the replacement from US as it costs less and get it fixed in a samsung service center.
Don't think that's possible. After all, the whole point of "super" in super amoled is that the glass is bonded to the display.

I've purchased the glass only and I'm waiting for it to arrive. It was very cheap and if it doesn't work, I'm not going to be too upset for buying it for about $11.00.

Amazon also has unit which is the LCD and digitizer already assembled.

I can update if and when I receive my replacement glass from gogotoshop. I find the place questionable but used paypal and can dispute the transaction if it isn't legit.
BTW....removing the glass & digitizer is not an easy task. From attempting to remove my broken screen, I don't think it is possible to remove it from the LCD as the previous posters mentioned.
mine is i937
Thanks for reply, But my phone is Samsung focus s (i937), and I didnot find the front class or Digitizer or LCD or all together.
I have the same problem the front glass broken. other things are ok, I asked on sumsung service center they said the whole thing has to change, I am sure experts can change only the front class.
Anybody has any idea about if I can buy it in India or any site who can ship to India.
or in UK, my frnd is coming from there I will ask him to buy there for me.
Please guys help me.
Thanks,

So just like the samsung and iphone models, the focus and focus s can be done the same way? I know for a fact that the galaxy s4 Active is best done by machine. Since ive tried but failed to do one. I have removed the glass from a galaxy s3 mini successfully, should this phone be the same? Please respond quickly!
Thank you
I had a problem in my phone when I droped it where the screen wouldn't work anymore (the glass was fine, the only problem was the display). So I bought a new one and replaced the role thing (display+glass).
But now, being a smart guy as I am, I managed to break it again, now only the glass.
My question is:
Can I safely swap the glass from the broken display with the one on my phone?
I ask this because all the videos I see on youtube just tell me to buy a new one, and I already have a good glass, but its glued to a broken display.

Test it!

its doable as the video shows,did mine last year, but really tricky, dont put any pressure on the lcd screen. good luck & take ur time. let us know how ya get on
I saw a few of videos like this already, but what worries me is that the glass I'm replacing with is not new.
What I have is this:
- Display 1: Currently on my phone with a broken glass and functional LCD.
- Display 2: The display that came with my S3 Mini, has a broken LCD and a almost perfect glass.
I want to swap those, so I get the good glass on my phone
If I swap them, there may be some leftover glue or something on the glass, or maybe there wont be enough glue to hold it in place.
Thanks for the replies
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!

I've been through that. Will be useful to get me to the display module, but would have been nice if they showed what it looks like in more detail. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures when i do this and maybe a video.

Did you try replacing just the glass or the whole display module? What went wrong? I'm also about to replace the display module on the N7 2012, the glass is cracked and half the digitiser doesn't work.

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?

Unless you have the right equipment and lots of time buy the whole assembly.
You can watch videos on youtube how complicated is to separate the glass from LCD
£122 repair cost in UK.
Update
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
Hi all
I have a 2 week old S6 Edge which i fitted the Samsung Clear View case from day one (Phone was purchased from Carphonewarehouse on the 29th April). The screen is now full of scratches since and is bloody annoying the hell out of me. I have contacted Samsung UK and awaiting reply.
I strongly recommend avoiding this case at all costs. It is expensive and WILL scratch your screen no doubt about that. See attached photos
Anybody else experienced this???

The same thing happened to mine and my beautiful new S6 Edge looks dreadful. I'm gutted as I've had iPhones for years and never had any marks. Spoke to samsung UK and they were less than helpful saying as I hadn't purchased the cover from them I had to contact the supplier....who were brilliant and have issued me a refund and said I should contact samsung again........but I'm still left with a damaged screen. This product is not fit for purpose as, due to the hard front cover being in direct contact with the glass, when grit or dust get between it rubs around resulting in circular scratched patches all over the screen. The cover shows no marking at all....just the "unscratchable Gorilla glass"!!
I'm sure when this phone and case combination is used on the beaches during summer there will be some seriously upset people !! DO NOT BUY THIS COVER:crying:

Wow, I am totally shocked!
My S6 edge has more scratches than my S5 which I never really looked after so it seems like the glass isn't as scratch proof as previous generations, not helped by the fact of the issue of getting a decent screen protector.
Just came off the phone from Samsung UK and awaiting to speak to the manager. I have emailed them images of the screen with the Clear View cover.
I am just shocked that a £800 smartphone that claims to have the latest Gorilla Glass 4 is more prone to scratches than older generations. I had iphones, Galaxy S4, Note 3, HTC One M7 and still have the HTC One M8 and not a single one of these phones exhibited the same issues as this one.
I really hope Samsung come up with something
Its almost logicl: dirts gets in between...the flap sits close to the screen. When you hold the phone you squeeze the flap to the phone and rubs. Ofcourse you are going to get scratches. Conclusion: always put a screen protector...should be first thing you do.

Not logical at all.
I had many other phones with similar cases and none was fitted with a screen protector. All were pristine. My HTC One M8 with a similar case doesn't exhibit any of these issues. I think perhaps the screen on the S6 Edge (don't know if the non edge is experiencing the same issues) is rubbish and the Clear View case doesn't help at all and makes it worse.
Samsung UK have just rang me to let me know that they are now aware of this and passed it on to the head office (wherever that may be) to make a decision. The more of us calling them the better. They need to be aware of the grand scale of this.

I think having hard plastic instead of a fabric has probably amplified the issue but it does seem like the S6 edges screen is prone to scratching easier than other GG3/4 phones

No it isn't "LOGICAL". I have never needed screen protectors on any previous phones and I have had a variety of covers. I didn't realise this was a forum for clever arse comments!!??
AND, furthermore, Samsung UK are aware of this issue and are currently dealing with my problem as I am not the first person to bring it to their attention

Hi there. I have just been on the phone with Samsung for half an hour and they agree there is an issue and are aware of other cases so I guess the more people say something there may be chance we can have a reasonable outcome. I've been asked to send photographs and receipts so that's a start. Good luck
It's not just S6 Edge. My Clear View case has scratched my S6 although not as badly as in these images.
I would say there are several problems with the case. First like the previous poster said the lid is too hard. Second (at least for the S6 case) the lid has some room to move. The Dot view case I had for my HTC M8 was soft and more fixed so that it would not move against the screen. Third, and this one I'm not sure matter as much, the case seems to gather a lot of static electricity, thus attracting small particles.
As a comparison I have these phones
HTC M8 with dot view cover. After a year of usage the screen is completely flawless. I couldn't find the least mark on it
S4 Active used for 2 years without any case. Has some small hairline scratches that are not very disturbing
S6 used with Clear view cover. The first day it had bigger marks on the screen than my 2 year S4 active. I thought it was just really bad luck so I kept using the cover and now the screen has a lot more blemishes.
First of all thanks a million guys for the heads up, I was that close of getting one of these covers considering how nice looking and catchy it is, but to think it can do such scratches to the screen, I mean come one, what was that talk about Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and how hard it is to get broken let alone get scratched, I know we all saw a lot of drop-test videos official and non-official (some times they throw it face down on rocks and really pointy and hard surfaces) yet they some times get no scratches at all, so for this cover to do such damage, it's a shame really, and in my humble opinion it's not Logical at all for the cover to do such scratches, I read the headlines but couldn't believe it until I saw the pictures, I was shocked of it really, and I'm now more afraid than ever of dropping the phone, and a screen protector of any kind now is a must, for my old S5 I didn't have to worry about the screen at all, and I dropped it sometimes face down, but I have never dealt with such scratches knowing that I used the device for more than 6 months before I could buy a tempered glass screen protector.
not only the edge
normal S6 here..same issue..day after I got my clear cover scratches appared

I am curious about if anyone has been able to successfully obtain replacement display or back glass? I am sure its pretty simple to replace. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
hi , that's my phone on eBay with crack back . its simple to replace (seen some disassembly videos) but I just cant find the back glass any where ,except one Indian site but they only post in India .
also spoke to razer ,they asking 120+ euros to replace it which I think too much for just the back glass . if find the back glass it will be simple few minutes job .
if any one know where to find the parts please let me know . or my phone still on eBay if some one got the spare .
thanks
