Samsung Focus screen lens glass replacement

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

Broke my Screen, TouchScreen Dead

Hello All. I am from India. Recently my mi3W fell and the top of the screen got a crack. After that top half of the touchscreen stopped working but bottom half was working fine. But yesterday,probably some dust particle went inside the crack and the whole touchscreen stopped responding. Now, the display is just fine and it's only the touch which is dead but I don't think there is a separate digitizer available for mi3.
So, I need suggestions whether I should buy original LCD from Xiaomi which would cost me almost half of the phone's price or can i buy one from ebay which would cost me around 2.2K.
Also,in case i end up buying one from ebay, will the color,sharpness and other display properties be of the degraded quality and noticeable to naked eye?
Also, if i buy it from ebay and give it to authorized xiaomi service centre will they agree to change the screen with the new one which I will give them and take only the repairing cost?
Also, whats the best and cheap option on ebay.in ?

Heyy dere.
Its better if u order from aliexpress bro.
Ebay i dnt think so d quality of the screen is gud.
U can even check out reviews of oder people in aliexpress. Try dat once

Hi,
Amarjot25 is right. Aliexpress gives a better option than eBay as there are some screens on eBay that are not good. I have broken my screen twice now. The one I am using currently is from eBay. I got it for 2k. It's not bad but looks delicate. There is no visual difference between the first one and this one. It's just how it feels and behaves when it gets heated.

Got my display from a seller named Mi_shop on eBay , got 1 year warranty with it . the first time the display developed some random lines (after a month)the seller replaced it free of cost , get the display only from that seller , he's the only one who gives 1yr warranty . the display is almost exactly the same. Other sellers on eBay seem sketchy.

cracked screen; all replacement shops are quoting more than the phone is worth...

I cracked the screen on my Nexus 6, however the LCD and digitizer still work fine. Every replacement shop I have spoken with in NYC is quoting me $220-250 US to replace the entire LCD / glass screen together and won't remove and replace the glass screen alone. I paid $250 CDN ($180 US) for this phone, so spending that much on a screen replacement isn't worth it to me.
What alternatives do I have? How difficult is replacing the glass screen alone? I know its bonded to the LCD, but is it worth while to try and repair? Can anyone suggest a shop that does glass screen replacement alone in NYC?
Thanks

buy a new n6 instead of replacing the glass

Seconded. We get far too attached to devices and our judgment becomes clouded. If the repair cost is more than the device is worth, then you've pretty well answered your own question. Me, I'd go for a Oneplus 3.

I highly doubt that you will find a repair shop that just does glass. Just google the price of the screen, the cheapest screen I found is from china for 134 on ebay. That price range is about normal depending on where they get the screen for. At the repair shop I help manage we charge the customer for part+tax+shipping+50 for labor. Why not just do the repair yourself, if not, then your alternative is buying another one. I have run into plenty of phones that it is cheaper for a used phone, than for the repair, and we let customers know that. We normally order the phone for them.

Swappa should have a fair number of used devices available. If looking to upgrade, other devices can be found there.

When I broke my screen a few months ago, I looked around and the glass-only replacement looked like a real pain. I just got a used one in excellent condition on Craigslist for $100 and called it a day.

I honestly don't believe that it is even POSSIBLE to do a glass-only replacement.
Not just because you can't buy just the digitizer (glass), but because the AMOLED layer is only about a QUARTER OF ONE MILLIMETER THICK, and incredibly brittle.
While you could potentially do the job without the front FRAME, given the price difference (about $5-$10), and since you would end up spending that on GLUE anyway, you might as well do a full frame replacement.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00ZGPELXQ/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
Its a fairly easy job.
The only tools you really need are a T3 torx screwdriver and a hair dryer to soften the glue on the back cover.

It's not impossible to do a glass only replacement, but a glass-only replacement is not something I ever recommend. Not only because the AMOLED display is so thin, but because getting the glass off requires softening optical glue and wedging things between the digitizer and the display. More than one of my fellow Galaxy S4 owners destroyed the display trying to replace only the glass.
Replacing the entire display, preferably with the midframe, is the way to go here.

Motorola offers an exchange for $150... I did it a few months ago, fairly easy process.

Touchscreen crack replacement?

Today I got accident and my screen cracked a bit. But, everything function normally(touch, LCD or screen). So the question: do I need replace screen digitizer(touchscreen) only or must replace both LCD&touchscreen?
I read somewhere, must replace touchscreen+lcd but in my case it is only cracked screen, LCD working fine.

Glass and LCD are glued together and those are also glued into frame. It's possible to replace screen by purchasing glass + lcd as 1 unit but this means you have to pry the old glass from the phone's frame.
What I did was I just bought frame + lcd + glass as 1 unit form Ebay. It's much easier and risk that you'll break something is much lower.

Thanks for info m8...

How to find the best replacement screen
Today my Nexus 5X screen has cracked. However the touch responses and the colours are still great. Just the front screen cracked.
Please let me know where to buy the genuine replacement for the screen? Are there any good sellers in Amazon? I want to replace it with an OEM part.

Replace the whole screen.

just buy 1 from ebay, original or not (i have not original one and works just fine)
1>your warranty is void
2>if you don't want to lose your warranty just sent it to LG ! .....bad idea!!! they want 160 euros!!!! the same thing happened to me
*160 euros cost in Cyprus
this is what i got is not original but works just fine!

Broken screen. Halp

Hi there
The glass of my Nexus 6 broke 4 weeks ago and until now the screen was working well but from yesterday is completely dead (device and touch still work)
What I need to buy to fix this? (lcd panel, digitalizer, glass)
^ sorry for the crappy quality

The easiest is to buy a complete display assembly. That includes glass and amoled panel mounted together, preferably with the frame as well. Expect to pay around 70 dollars if you buy from China.
You may need new glue for the back - you can buy a cut out sheet of glue, or just a new back with glue on, it's not expensive.
My display assembly came without the speaker covers (the two tiny plastic bars). I transfered the old ones, but you can also buy them new.
