I had recently replaced my broken digitizer on my g2x with one with an LG logo on it. All I changed was the glass, keeping the original frame. What I noticed was in the light you could see little dots that were connected in the glass. The sensitivety of the screen was poor. Later I replaced it with a T-Mobile logo one. There were no dots and lines on it and it works like new like it should. Just passing that on. Not that the LG logo one did not work but maybe I received a dud.

I have a white one with lg on it and it works perfectly. Plus, I just bought another white one complete with the housing for $71, as soon as I get it and install it I'll report on it.
Where did you get that from? Does it come with the grey housing?

Well I probably got a bad one. They knocked off 1/2 the cost. And it works but it's just not as responsive.

The one in the picture I got back in November, digitizer only, $60. The new one I ordered comes with the Grey housing, $71, I will get it in 12 days or less, I'll keep everyone posted. I can't believe I found a complete white one this late in the game for so cheap! The link is up top.

Where did you find that for 71$
EDIT: I saw that you replied on the other thread, thanks
Any updates with the white digitizer + housing?

Would this come with the housing as well?
It says front housing I think maybe that would be the plastic frame with glass. You could write them to find out.

I got a replacement (digitizer only, no housing) from ebay for 35 dollars or so. Sellers name ended with "123"
The digitizer has LG logo and is claimed to be "OEM" by the item's title.
First thing I notice when I install it is that the linearity is off, and when grabbing the far left edge, the right edge grabs instead. When unlocking the phone via swipe starting from the left edge, the silence slider is grabbed and moves to where your finger is.
Second issue is THAT THE SCREEN SUPPORTS ONLY TWO POINTS OF TOUCH.
Apparently this is a common issue - none of these replacements, even those marked "OEM" support 10 points. This is very bad as no seller explicitly writes of this limitation.
Do I have grounds to complain to eBay that the item is not as described? Does listing it as OEM imply it has to be identical to the original?
I got one on eBay for $40 including housing. No problems. Easy replacing. OEM with T-Mobile Logo

I'm trying to find somewhere decent that carrys parts for the skyrocket that isn't stupid expensive, i know these digitizer lcd combos aren't all 180+$
my lcd is fine, so what im wondering if anyone has torn one of these bad boys apart, or if they only make the combos.
Any suggestions for websites that have digitizers for the skyrocket would make my day!
Dropped my phone last night, cracked digitizer...derp
same situation on my old black skyrocket... just a digitizer would be nice
So, has anybody been able to find the outer glass only? I can't order the $200 digitizer+lcd... makes no sense...
Prices have gone down a little, they're at 150 now, Google mengtor

I have also been looking everywhere for just a glass/digitizer as I also cracked my glass from a drop after hours of looking around it seems they are still about $150 at the cheapest...

If you can't find a cheap digitizer, you could maybe part it out on eBay and then just buy a whole phone used.
Does anyone know where I can get a main rear camera for this?
Hey y'all. I dropped my white SR a while back and repaired the screen myself. I used http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com/samsung-skyrocket-sgh-i727/
They have the best prices on parts that I could find. You can do it all yourself too. Just google instructions for replacing the parts.
To repair the LCD/digitizer, you have to replace the entire front, not just the glass. It's an all in one unit, that's why it's so expensive. I followed these instructions: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1758028-How-To-replace-I727-screen
Yup. The digitizer and its circuitry are attached to the screen (glass) with some wicked adhesive. Its an all-in-one piece that is also glued into the carriage. It comes out from the front. Just replaced mine last night lol.

rip it off... information is on the sim card tray if you take it out and look closely... also inside the box your phone came in should be a spare sticker to put back on the phone in case of a warranty claim.

Ahhh, what i find amusing here is this. I had to exchange my one X yesterday, luckily the store i frequent most likes me as they held it for me instead of sending it back when i called last week. Anyways, the salesman processing the exchange is the only person i deal with when i go in there so we joke around and he started the exchange and said you really couldnt just leave that sticker on there could you? So, i told him that there was an extra one in the box so that it could be removed and he nor any of the other staff members there even knew the extra sticker existed.
Anyways, yes, remove that unsightly sticker as it wont hurt anything.
Gone the moment I got the phone in my hands.

removed mine before leaving the store. it's in a few places on the phone, including HBoot (pwr+vol down on startup).
I'm glad it's a sticker and not etched into the phone like apple does with all those informative trademark signs. Yeah, we have those to but they are barely visible on the bottom of the phone.
I took it off before I opened the box hahaha in my mind
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Yea.. I knew all the info was in the phone. But wasn't sure if it'll leave an ugly mark. Its off now looks way cleaner.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
The same info also displayed in Hboot, with the bar codes and everything.
The stick left a faint mark or residue. But wiping with a little glass cleaner took that right off.
I have found a craigslist post in my area saying there letting go there phone for $250. In the post they continue to say that only the screen is cracked. A picture they posted shows the phone on with cracks on the screen.
I have emailed them and they replied that if it doesn't sale they will just repair it, because it only cost $18 (this concerns me, why not just repair on such an expensive phone)
My questions: is it worth it?? Also what questions do you think I should ask? And if I meet them in person what should I look for?
Thanks in advanced xda folks!

My friend cracked the glass on his and the screen won't even turn on. I called the phone and it rang but the screen wouldn't light up and the digitizer wouldn't register touches. So I'd stay away.
I have seen replacement screens on eBay for $20 or so, but I believe that the digitizers are glued to the screen.
If you can't cleanly separate the two, you're probably in for the cost of a replacement combo ... about $200.
Still cheaper than a new one outright ...

I've seen replacement screens on ebay for maybe $15-20 but to replace it seems rather difficult: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70-W9JjVjg&feature=relmfu.
It's really up to you whether it's worth it or not. If you're up for the challenge of replacing the screen (or if you think you can live with the crack, you didn't mention how bad it is) then go for it. If not, I'd probably stay away as this doesn't exactly seem like an easy fix.
Try lowering his price to 200$ then send it in to Samsung they will charge about 190$ to replace it. The digitizer is glued to glass and u won't be able to separate and put on new glass.

It may not be broken but its all one unit.. my guess is they already know this or they would have gotten it fixed themselves
Replacement screens are about 18-20 but replacing them is very difficult because of the adhesive that bonds them... Dont't buy it.. you would have to buy a new bezel with the screen and digitizer attatched to it. about 200-250 itself..A shop around me does it but they said it would be 300 plus labor..
If you can get it at a decent price and can replace the screen cheaply then i would say go for it.

Where did u get that quote I have a broken gs3 and best option is Samsung 180 shipped and returned. OP did the phone need bezel replaced? Here is my damaged phone not one scratch on bezel landed perfectly flat and the SGP case doesn't offer much protection over the screen its almost flush. If it was under or roughly 160-180 plus 180 screen replacement sub 400 gs3 good price.

Yeah, AT&T will not replace a phone with a cracked or shattered screen. On the other hand if you pay for 7 bux a month insurance, you can get a replacement (most likely will not be an A2 though, and whatever they have in stock for replacements).
Your best bet is to do what others have done and buy a broken phone on ebay that is bricked and will not power on and use it's screen and digitizer and follow these directions to replace the screen and digitizer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746094
On ebay I have seen broken A2's for anywhere from 50-150 USD, depending on the damage and if the screen is intact or not. You really want one that has a good screen but will not power on, and that will probably be just under or close to 100.00 USD. There is also a link for buying a screen and digitizer in the link I gave, but you will have to glue or affix those to together, and these tend to not look quite as good as just doing what I mention and get a non booting phone off ebay or craigslist.
I reupped my wife's line and got a Sony TL. Damn you AT&T every time I get a foot out you pull me back in.

You can also buy a replacement screen here . I replaced my screen in March of this year and it worked flawlessly.
If your thinking of getting this phone get a case as soon add possible! That happened after my father dropped hood phone once. Now the bottom part of the screen where the on screen buttons are does not work. So he just went back to his GS3. I have not found any tutorials on how to replace the screen and digitizer or if just the digitizer.

I did the same. Dropped my G2 going into Future shop to buy a case for it. Chipped the top left corner (can barely see it!) and now the top portion of the screen doesn't work... Now I have to get the screen and digitizer replaced...not cheap.

I've smashed mine twice since november, today being the second time. 1st time it was in its flip cover case. This time, I took out of its case to lie in bed with it (cover gets in the way when you're on your back), went to the bathroom, fell out of my hands, 2 feet drop. Smashed again.
I have the Flip Cover, Otter Box Defender, now ordered the Incipio Leather Folio 2 in 1 and the Incipio Dual.
Figured if I had options I'd keep a good case on it constantly. Lucky I have insurance for it, 120$ deductable. I've reached my 2 claim max for the year though...
Most ...Fragile phone...ever...
I'm still getting a G2. Samsung uses versions of LED screens which have some chance of burn in, ghost images.
LG g2 is LCD. Yes there's a chance of dead pixel but I would rather take my chance with that instead.
Besides, LCD is easier to see on sunlight.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

I dont use a case for my LG 4X HD. I have dropped it many times, no cracks. It depends on the build quality, weight, the way it fell and so on.
I find cases ugly and unnecessary.

Thats not entirely true. Unless you wont change your phone in 2 years, the chance of getting burn ins is low. Be careful with LG,they have a tendency to drop phone support ASAP.
My fathers G2 was put in a spigein slimarmor case before the sales rep even set it up. Last month his digitizer was going wokners, had a slight nick in the case that pressed stuff together. Took it to the sprint store, and the reps replaced the front of screen on the spot without even having to do a warranty claim.that LG glass is super thin, too thin in my opinion which is also the reason I will never buy the flex
i dropped my g2 more than 3 times luckily no damage. i dont have any cases.

I know, I've heard it's not too bad. My friend also has it and he said he has dropped it multiple times and nothing has happened to it.
It probably can depend of supplier and party . My friend bought first G2 and had many problems with it, so he returned it to the shop and got the replacement.... but the second one was not good too. Screen just cracked after about a week of use -__- But I know many people with really good experience with this device, so it really depend of how lucky you are )
