Thanks in advance!
as someone who's done the repair twice. Don't buy from ebay as they sell cheaper knockoffs.
Its actually pretty complicated and almost worth the money to send it in for repair.
Really.
i disagree, the repair was fairly easy if youre following a guide. ive done it once and taken mine completely apart twice. the most difficult part was separating the broken glass from the rubber part where it is mounted and getting the bottom part of the phone off without breaking it or leaving marks. I used spray adhesive to seal the new digitizer to the mount. I bought mine from amazon, just about the same price and came with prying tools. it was good quality with only a single miniature air bubble in the glass which is only noticeable if youre really looking for it on a full white screen.
if only your glass is broken that is all you should need, the digitizer. if the lcd is cracked or bleeding you will need that as well.
Hello everyone, so yesterday I accidently cracked glass near the front speaker of my xperia v (picture in attachment). It's a shame that I wasn't using a screen protector at that time. Anyway, what do you think is best for me to do? Is there anyway I could hide it or fix it? If the only way is to replace that part how much would it cost and could I do it myself? Or should I just leave it as it is because it's too much hassle trying to fix it?
If you want to keep your waterproof, mybe the best choice is replace it. The cost of replacement don't should dbe expensive

Did you peeled the built-in screen protector?
On the pic it seems the scratch is only on the protector but I could be wrong. Try removing it and see if the glass is actually scratched.
Yes, I peeled the built-in protector unfortunately. And thanks for reply, I will look for price of replacement in my country.
I payed almost $100+ to repair the bezel and the loose caps. I think screens are cheaper to be repaired because it's much easier to be repaired. Goodluck.
Hi everyone, I've searched through the forums and thus far everyone has recommended replacing the entire LCD / Glass assembly rather than just the Glass / Digitizer. I've got a beat up I537 that I don't want to spend the $150 to $200 on the LCD assembly whereas I can buy the digitizer / glass off of Ebay for $35. I don't care about the warranty or waterproof so I was wondering if anyone has had any success with replacing just the digitizer and glass? If so, I would really appreciate any guidance or links to videos / step by step videos that you can provide.
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.
How did you end up going with this, mate? I just ordered the part and was about to attempt the same thing.
I heard that this tablets screen is really fragile (is that right??)
anyways, I was wondering what the ideal screen protector is to get. I was planning on buying this one

Last one of theirs I tried was rubbery. Cant say for sure. It might have to cure or harden. If you find it rubbery try waiting 24hrs or so. Skinomi was exactly the same. Too expensive. Im using a fosmon and its cheap but nothing fancy. There's probably better ones. Check reviews. The screen is not really fragile. Seems to last. Try to keep the soap out of the edges etc if you use those kind.
Hello everyone!
Just bought RN4 Global some days ago and also bought a TPU case and tempered glass before the device was even delivered.
The case is great and I had no issue with it, the tempered glass though produced the known (unluckily not known to me at the time...) halo effect...
So, I decided it looked too ugly (it actually annoyed me A LOT) so I removed it.
Tried to replace it for some softer "sticker" screen protector but I failed over 2 times with dust particles messing it for me and now I'm pissed because of the money I've spent for no reason...
So, my question is:
Do I really need protection for the RN4 Global screen? Should I just keep spending until I get it right?
I bought this device for a budget phone and if I keep spending tenners I just failed... :\
(Let me clear that I never put my device in the same pocket with keys/coins/cards or anything else at all. I still would like to know how scratch-prone it would be with no protection though.)
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply and/or share their experience!
I feel your pain but I'd recommend using a screen protector or your screen will be covered by micro-scratches which personally speaking bother me a lot. In the worst case your screen shatters and you'll have to order a replacement from like China just because you didn't invest in a proper screen protector.
Its always safe to have a screen protector. One small scratch would make a huge difference and if you are ever planning to exchange your phone, that could significantly affect it's resale price.
It's been about 6 months since I bought my phone. Daily use, in and out of pocket. Just a few micro scratches. Doesn't really bother me.
Hi, I am using Redmi note 4 for 7 months without any screen guard. There are no scratches till now. Only thing is that be sure not to slip down your device.
