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

Sadly I've had to do this twice now after toddler has dropped it on a tile floor.
Order this part from ebay ( there are lots of suppliers on ebay ) Will cost around £10 / 14 Euro / $18 for the bit you need.
search ebay for P1000 digitizer ( I'm not allowed to post links yet )
Wait a week for it to arrive.
Then go to ifixit to get dis-assembly instructions to remove the case , battery etc. Search ifixit dot com and Teardown / Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Teardown / 4103 / 1
The tricky and time consuming part is that digitizer is bonded to the case ( not the LCD ) but for this you'll need a heat gun , or even a hot hair dryer with a nozzle on the end to limit the air flow to just the edges of the bezel. You don't want to heat up the LCD else you'll break it.
Gently heat up a corner at a time and then get a guitar pick and some matches. use the guitar pick to lift the digitizer ( glass ) away from the assembly , then once its lifted a little , stick a match in there to stop the glue re-bonding. Move around the edge of the device heating the bezel only and lifting ( gently ) and inserting the matches. After an hour or so of being very gentle with your device , the screen will come away , leaving a gold looking ribbon connector on the right hand side of the device. This is simple to undo ( just follow ifixit's instructions ) and voila the screen has been removed.
Thankfully putting the new one on is a two minute job , just take your time and align carefully. ( it's basically a sticky backed plastic , peel the cover off and apply to the device. Then attach the gold ribbon to the connector.
In reverse follow ifixit's instructions to re-assemble.
If you've got a screw or two left over then don't worry about it - I've yet to put a device back together where something didn't get left out.
To sum up , the part you need is cheap the only thing you need is time and a heat source to warm up the bonding glue holding the digitizer onto the unit. As I said , I've done it twice and its a simple repair job , just takes time and patients.
I have never had to replace the in a cell phone before but my wife managed to break the glass on the S5 Active (SM-G870A).
Has anyone else had to deal with this yet? I have searched every source I could find for the glass but it doesn't appear to be on the market yet.
Searching Alibaba for the glass comes up with glass for an s5mini glass replacement :-/
Thanks in advance,
Dave
Really frustrated

Same here I dont believe there is a replacement glass yet, which is really frustrating when it comes to Asurian bull crap which is the insurance company for any sort of replacement devices.. $199 is the deductible .

Is just the glass broken? The digitiser is all OK? Just so you know there iscavhigh chance your phone will no longer be water/dust resident if you do this.
It's not hard. Do you have the tools? Heat gun (a hair dryer could work) pics ( guitar pick could work) .
Just go slow and make sure you heat the glass up lots.
If you want it to be 100% you will have to glue the digi to the glass. This all depends on how mechanically inclined you are and you will need more tools and skills.
I realize the OP is over a year old. But I was recently looking for a replacement screen for my S5 as well. I came across this website that also has a screen replacement for the G870A.

Also check ifixit.com for device tear down instructions.
