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

Can't you get a new screen remove old screen put new screen in!
Hi everyone, I just droped my incredible s and the screen broke. Now I planning to buy a lcd screen on ebay and repair it my self but I need to know what to buy. The phone is still fully fonctionnal it's just the screen that's cracked. So my question is do I need to buy the screen digitizer only or the lcd to?
Thanks!
[Edit]
Got the screen digitizer today, and I just finished to put it all together... phone looks like new!! And it wasnt too hard to do
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHxopp_Hino&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I simply followed that video but I only changed the touch digitizer, not the lcd.
The only issue is the new screen isnt glued well to the phone. I did put some two sided tape but the corners are a bit "loose" like I can push the screen back. So I'll try to find some sealant glue or something like that to glue the screen well in place.
If anyone knows a glue or a sealant let me know

Hi,
The screen digitizer of my phone is broken. I live in New Caledonia and the screen for this phone can't be found in my country. Do you know where I can buy a screen digitizer and screen for this phone ?
Thanks,

Aliexpress has them but you may as well buy a replacement phone... A refurbished/unlocked S6 Active is not much more than a replacement digitizer.
Hey all. I have a question here. I currently own the Razer Phone 2 and I do not actually have a cracked back glass, but i found one on ebay that does have a cracked back glass. 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
