Last time I checked I couldnt find any but if there is one out there it would most likely be on Youtube.
Well just went and did it without ever doing a digitizer replacement before now my beautiful g2x is flawless even fixed my backlight bleed 100% somehow.

Why didn't you make a video?

LOL.....were you sweating bricks until you saw it boot back up?
Yes I was a little worried but i was REALLY careful to not tear ribbon cables or soldered wires while taking it apart and man the glue that holds the digitizer down is ridiculously strong!

Did u heat it with a heating gun? That helps a lot. A hair dryer works too but takes a little longer.

Where did you buy the digitizer? I need to buy and LCD and the Digitizer but im not sure the build quality will be good.
EBay but the listing I got it from jacked the price up

If its the same one I saw from gadget fix on ebay its for $349 that way too much. I found the digitizer for the p990 but im not sure if it works. I know the LCD work because ive read a few ppl doing it but i havent been abe to find anyone yet saying that the digitizer works too. They should because it the same phone but i want to make sure before I do it. My biggest issue is that im stuck, I dont know if i should just wait another week and get the sensation or fix the g2x.

I noticed what I thought was a defect on the screen of my Thunderbolt and nearly went back to the store and returned it in favor of a new one. The only thing that stopped me from doing so was when I noticed the exact same defect in a high resolution marketing photo. So just an FYI, the little bubble looking thing in the glass above the check mark is actually the proximity sensor. Don't go returning it ^_^
Gets very annoying, when you get off the phone.

I was wondering where that was haha, nice find.
I just noticed this today and like you I kinda flipped out for a second and thought I had some defect... than I realized what it was haha
I thought it was a defect the first time I saw it.
I read my little book that came with the phone before I noticed it so I already know knew what it was

I hope my InvisiShield doesn't screw with it! On my Evo there was a cutout for it but on the TB there isn't! I know it's a clear cover but I'm curious as to why the Evo one had a cutout to not block it?

Just reaching out to the community (again, sorry) to see if dust is appearing behind the glass screen covering the camera lens on anyone else's g2x. I just noticed a spec or two that appears to not be a scratch or smudge. This phone is amazing despite this and a few reboot/lockup issues I'm had that everyone is claiming is software related... so this dust issue is really my last concern with this phone. I've seen this problem occur before on previous phones ive owned and it eventually spiraled into levels much more severe then just a spec or two. Levels that start to make some phone functions difficult to use or unusable altogether.
Again, any input would be greatly appreciated. I just want a general consensus from the community to determine if I simply have a defective model or not. Thanks.

The first thing i noticed when i was putting my sim card and battery in was the lens cover. That is good design. All of my other phones have had a sealed lens cover. So if you did get dust behind there you were screwed.
still a lame design, no cover on flash so dust gets in there when most phones don't have this issue.
I had to remove cover just to clean area to get a clear photo yesterday. LAME!
Hello xda community!
With an unfortunate drop from my high up bed, my g2x's screen cracked.
Thankfully the entire screen still works just fine.
My question is, does anyone know where I should go to have my screen replaced? Or if anyone knows a good way to replace the screen?
Any help and suggestions will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I have replaced a few smartphone digitizers now and it is not that hard. Just watch a youtube video and get the right tools on amazon for cheap. I would say the skill level is 6/10.
or you could pay double that for a company to do it for you and be without a phone for a week or two...
I have a dugutuzer for sale. Brand new. Its not hard at all. Took me 20 minutes. Pm me if you want it. Ill even send you the tools needed.

In my area, if you look at Craigslist, there are so many people that offer cellphone repair services. Try Craigslist.
Amazon sells a replacement kit for about 60 dollars it has the tools and screen. I did it in under 20 min.
Just search Amazon buddy and then search YouTube for a video on how to take it apary
Nvidia always!

The only problem I have with doing it myself, is that I have tried replacing the screen on my old mt3g slide and ended up screwing up my phone, and had to throw it away.
After that, I don't feel safe doing it.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Thankfully I found this thread and went the Amazon route as well - $54 and about 30 mins of prying a few stubborn glass shards off the frame later my g2x is working flawlessly.
I'd even go so far as to say this new digitizer is a little more responsive than the original one!

Haha I know how you feel with the mt3g slide. That one is impossible because one of the slidescrews got stripped for me. Thankfully I had drill bits handy. I just replaced my aunts g2x last Monday and it is easy if you buy the digitizer with the bezel, that way you don't have to worry about prying the glass. Difficulty is like 5/10. All you have to do is take your time. If a 17 y/o can do it, so can you

I just bought one of these for about 23 dollars same seller. I replaced it but the digitizer does not work as good as the original. It is not as accurate to the touch and hardly works at all with a screen protector on it. If I had to do it over I would get the one mounted to the frame. It worked like the original.

You might be able to find some rear housing replacement for the phone but that all depends on if you want to dissect the phone as well.

I read the 1st post and thought I had posted it for a second. Exact same thing happened to me. I was not going to keep it but a case will hide it and it's a $400 phone new. My wife isn't going to let me spend that much on a phone so I decided to keep it.
Glad I did so far.

I have a bezel and assembly without the glass sitting on a shelf in my office. Had a shattered screen and the replacement is a one-piece assembly as was mentioned. I removed the glass and LCD and have a good bezel with the 'touchpad' buttons still in place. Could let it go....if you can use it. Make me an offer.:angel: PM me if you're interested and I'll send a picture.
The touchscreen has cracked and needs to be replaced. Does anyone know of a reputable place that would able to repair it in the U.S.? I did not pay for the tablet so I don't mind paying to get it fixed as long as it cost less that buying a brand new one of course.

Ain't nobody who will do it for less than $150.00. Are you willing to shell out that much for a used tab when you can actually do it yourself for one- third?

Your call, of course. I would've helped if you weren't so far away. Countless people have done it, no reason why you can't. Takes some patience and dexterity. That's all. Otherwise, below is one place. I know a bunch out here, but you likely wanted brand-name. Good luck.

Having done this a few times, and watched the video, a few cautions. First is to turn the service switch off before removing any cables. Read this thread, especially from page 13 on about the coil. Also, I'd remove the lcd display differently because its front frame is flimsy, and scraping it off the digitizer without loosening the tape along its edges first might bend it. Once it is, you will have light bleeding upon reassembling. If this sounds daunting to you, it's just not in practice, so don't cringe. Lots of people have failed, but only because they decided to shoot from the hip. Once you've done your homework, you should be alright.
