Look in my thread and you find your answer. I bought my digitizer from here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Digitizer-LCD-Display-Screen-f-Samsung-Galaxy-S-i9000-/120595111860?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c14075fb4

thank u man
i will check this digitizer immediately could you say how long do you take in get it home ??
and how was the quality sorry for make in new thread i just was looking here but didn't find nothing about the broken screen

yeah, just do it yourself

Same Problem
I had the same experience my phone fell from hands from 3ft height on the ground and it developed crack not as many as yours, one single crack across the face. I just wanna know has your digitizer arrived .and when your screen cracked was it working normally ,because mine is working all right just the crack is there.

U have to pay ~50 .. ~60$

Replacing your own screen... you guys are pretty amazing.

hey i just orden mine in about 10 working day i will get it and you have to orden the full combo cuz the digitizer dont come alone for the moment

I just noticed that cnn.cn now has the SGS digitizer on sale.

repairs
I will fix any broken galaxy s screen for £120 or buy the broken phone off you for £150.
The Part is preety much the whole phone you only save the mainboard and backcase.
the vib motor speaker all that sort of stuff is part of the screen.
So if you are buying just the glass or screen of ebay they are fake parts are void the warranty, also the quality will be very different.

My screen is broken to, but the LCD is not. The phone works in 100%, even touch, but the glass is broken. I am not sure, is the digitizer everything that I need or do I have to buy LCD+digitizer to repair it.

Sorry for the ress, but didn't find anything saying about just the glass broken.

They come as 1 part, so you'll need to replace both.

LCD Screen & Digitizer assembly

Good evening guys, I wanted to ask, any one knows the average price for an Original LCD screen and its Digitizer together?
Im seeing prices from 45~120$ but i wanted to ask if anyone have ever got any before, plz would help me to find the best for my friend Sensation thx.

I called HTC they said 180 and I think its worth it through them rather than a phone repair shop. Which I wish i did....

So I broke my screen. I looked up some digitizers but I dont know what I should get. Could someone please suggest one to buy? I have a T-Mobile USA sensation. Does it really matter which part I buy or will any digitizer work?

I'd recommend you just send it to HTC. I had my digitizer replaced by a computer repair shop that said they could replace my digitizer and I had it done for 70 bucks. After they replaced it my digitizer would barely respond to the point that I couldn't even use it. They replaced it because they had a 30 day warranty but even that replacement was just as bad. I had the digitizer replaced one more time and it was better but still not the same. I just couldn't use it without getting frustrated. I ended up just exchanging my phone through my carrier but I wish I avoided the hassle in the first place....

I replaced both the LCD and the Digitizer just last week on my Sensation. I had the the touch screen issues you guys are talking about, but as soon as I upgraded the radio the problems went away.
Here's a post with the firmware update. You have to be rooted and have your bootloader unlocked.

Well can you please PM or post which one you ended up buying

Does anybody has got the link to replacement guide in relation to original lcd + digitizer? On yt I just see how to replace only digitizer but I want to buy an original set (lcd + digit) and replace it. I'm afraid of getting the dust after changing just digitizer.

I bought digitalizer for 30euro and followed you tube video to change it my self... The repair shop asked 180euro for the repair (300 new phone) so I gambled and it was worth it.
Good thing on sensation and htc phones is you can replace the digitalizer alone compared to example Samsung where u need to buy and replace lcd screen same time. Costs loots more.
Sensation XE. Bricked kernel. ViperS ROM. Powered by Mugen battery.

Yeah, but while replacing only a digitizer it's very easy to get dust under it when man doesn't have laboratory conditions.. And then what? Starting all from the beginning? Some time ago I saw on ebay a digitizer + lcd for htc sensation for about 50$ but I just don't know how to replace it

Actually when u have working digitalizer connected u don't need to diassemble. Ucan just pull the screen out with knife from the frame. (because flat cable u need to put phone to pieces) I left some dust under first but then saw this trick on YouTube and used it to clean under screen with micro dust towel.. Anyway even with the minor dust its lot better than broken screen.

So no one knows how to assemble digitizer + lcd?

You tube is your friend.

On you tube are only videos that show how to replace just digitizer or how to DISASSEMBLE lcd + digitizer. I'm looking for info how to ASSEMBLE digitizer + lcd set.

just seen a pair on ebay for $55 :good:
ebay item number: 130646942239

From where should I know which type (A or B) I need to buy? Another problem - how to ASSEMBLE it?

Does anybody know if every lcd + digitizer works with normal sensation? I mean if there exist different versions etc. I have sensation from Europe. Im going to buy the whole screen so I need to know it. Additional question, does lcd + digit from sensation xe works with normal senny? Thnx in advance.

I bought my digitizer on ebay for ~ 35$ and changed it using youtube videos. Everything works perfectly.

Pretty easy
HI guys,
i repair alot of phones in my spare time and the sensation is pretty easy you can also get a foam seal for the digitizer to prevent dust

S3 Digitizer - How does it work?

Hello Everyone,
I run a repair shop and have been having a lot of customer walk away when I have had to explain that the screen and LCD need to be replaced as one unit (And cost £130+ a part then labour cost). I have watched a few videos and gain a lot of advice from these forums regards to a glass only replacement. I have a lot of experience with screen replacements, but the one thing that stumps me with this screen is how does the Digitizer work? Most phones have one cable for LCD and one cable for Digitizer, but when I look on eBay at the parts, it's just a piece of glass with nothing connecting it between the phone but some glue.

Broke LCD while repairing glass, what to buy?

Like my title says, I was attempting to fix the broke glass on my s3 when all of a sudden the digitizer cracks. I am kind of pissed since I just had the razor in there, waiting for the LOCA to move on its own. Anyway, I digress.
Now I need to get a full LCD + digitizer to repair it. I have come across two different options. One is to get an LCD + digitizer assembly off of Amazon/ebay and glue it into my current phone, but the Amazon reviews have a couple saying that they don't fit the Verizon S3 too well, somehow. This is the one that was recommended in the youtube video I watched.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ASIN=B009OZWQRM&linkCode=as2&tag=wwwkwpcca-20
The other option is a full LCD + digitizer + back frame. This thing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Samsung-...n-Assembly-Frame-White-/350859402808#shpCntId
They both cost the same so I have two questions.
1) Which part do you all recommend?
2) What would "fixing" my phone entail if I ordered the full LCD digitizer back frame assembly? I am assuming it's simple enough to transfer parts over, but I don't want to buy the part if it ends up being harder to transfer the chips over than it is to glue a new screen in place.
Also, the final quality is a concern. I don't buy new phones often. I bought this year-old S3 with a broken screen with the plan of fixing the screen and having it for years. I still hope to do a good enough repair to have this phone for years to come.

They both will fixed your problem. I do not recommend glueing, it's not easy to do, messy and you may end up replace the whole thing at the end. It's your choice to pick one.

I recommend getting the one with the frame, it will make the job so much easier. Here is a youtube video on what it will take to get the old frame off, and put a new screen on it.

Thanks so much, both of you. I did go with the one that included the frame. I might as well go for the basically brand new phone, right? That video did help make my decision, too.

[Q] Can I Join New Digiter glass and Seperate New LCD

Okay so I was duped by the low price when trying to fix my wife's One X and purchased the digitiser only.. I didn't even attempt to install it but I did pull her phone apart and destroyed her LCD and Touch screen before even separating the assembly as my tool slipped between the digitiser and LCD resulting in cracked/broken LCD
To be honest its a scam sellers are selling the glass only without clear warning of the dificulties ahead that LCD is sooooo fragile! and too much heat would just break the LCD..... and possibly de solder parts....
Now it still powers up and is visible via USB
Should I splash out the extra $30 and get the LCD only part from eBay and attach it to the touchscreen I already have?
or should I just buy the whole assembled unit for $90(Australian)
also Which LCD would I want? I have the Aussie Tegra version...(So I'm guessing the non AT&T version..)
Any Advice and experience would be appreciated Cheers!

To be honest I'd just buy the LCD + digitizer. The chances of being able to successfully join the two parts together yourself are fairly slim.

What timaaaaa said. I've yet to hear of anyone doing it successfully, and if there is someone they're definitely the exception. You know first hand how difficult it is to handle those parts, do you really want to risk it? Just put the digitizer you bought back on eBay (if your conscience allows you).
