Its not that hard compared to the HD2. I found it quite easy actually. Look around on the tube, there are a lot of DIY videos for instructions. I bought mine off of eBay for around 25$. Good Luck!!

Let's see how it ends up best $50 I spent.

Looks good!! Wasnt too hard was it?

It was tricky at first. I didn't have the tools shipped to me. I still managed to succeed.

I recently dropped my phone and the screen cracked. I was looking on ebay for a digitizer and I tried asking the sellers about it but they don't speak english and couldn't answer my questions.
Do I have to buy a certain one? I know theres an AMOLED nexus and a SLCD nexus. Does it matter? I've found a few decent looking ones, but I'm a bit iffy about which one to buy. I see the OP had a successful run, maybe you could point me in the right direction?
Any help would be great!

Digitizers are the same with both the AMOLED and SLCD screens.

I almost bought one of these but was afraid of the install. If its really that easy I may get the cash to do it. Wish I could find a n1 for $50 i'd fix and give it to my girlfriend.

It isn't the easiest thing. Have a look through the youtube tutorials before you decide to pull your phone apart.

got one from ebay. came from hong-kong. followed a video tutorial on youtube and it took me +- 1 hour. not the easiest thing but doable.

Screen replacement

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!

Well if you have the time and the skill. Do it yourself. Fleabay has them for $50..

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.

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.

I ordered mine from here on friday night, came yesterday morning with the free shipping option! I was happy on how fast it came, I Installed last night and it has the digitizer w/ the side bezel/housing(whatever you wanna call it) with volume+power buttons. This one does NOT come with the LG branding btw:/

ive emailed them and they say it comes with front housing. good luck!!

Thank you guys so much for posting these helpful links, I've been looking all over trying to find a decent price for front white digitizer. People on ebay are selling it for 100 bucks and up. I don't think it should cost that much if the black ones are about 40-50.

Why is it so expensive. You can replace the iphone 4/4s digitizer with screen for $24-$30 (-_-)

I got my digitizer for about 50, but that was a long time ago.

Update: very impressed with immediate response. Did an excellent job In Answering my question even with the language barrier. And yes item is digitizer and housing. I believe total after tax and delivery was around 62 to 65 $ (converted from euro)

When you call into AT&T ask for the number to the warranty department. They will ask you a few questions to determine if that's the right department you are looking for. Just say you charged your phone and it no longer turns on. Eventually after lying a bit more you will have a replacement device on its way to you. Works for me all the time and have never failed yet.
They say all kind of things to scare you out of it, but nothing ever happens. I don't know if it is just my luck. I warranty at least 3 times for the year just to keep my phone looking brand new and I send it in working perfectly fine.

If you wanna keep karma intact call Samsung and ask them how much it would be to replace the digitizer. If you don't believe in karma just flash a ROM to it from another Samsung phone. Bring it to ATT store and say WTF my phone just stopped working.

Lol thanks rapstar I can definitely give it a shot. Here my thing jyazzie that your correct they don't warranty hardware breaking so by my son dropping the phone voided the warranty. But here my thing I have had other providers and they always warrantied at least one accidental replacement and for 199 I could just go and buy something else like a galaxy note. But seriously 199 for a phone that is on the do not sell list lol. Thank you all for the help and feed back. But I'll see if my work will let me get one temporarily.

I'd try to brick it through Kies, tbqh. Can be done without the screen on if you restore to 2.3 in ODIN. It's a risk that they see the digitizer and have a "WTF" moment, but you stand a good chance of getting away with saying, "I did the upgrade through Kies and now it doesn't work."

Indeed. I actually had Samsung replace my screen when I broke the glass a few months ago. They charged me 158 and they covered shipping both ways. I had the phone back in 8 days. Since they did the work it is still under warranty if anything else should go wrong. It was actually cheaper than any of the glass/digitizer units I could find online.

S3 with ONE crack

Okay I'm not trying to sell my s3 here, but I need advice on selling it locally. My s3 is in great condition. the screen has literally NEVER been touched, but I did drop it on a church trip and a crack covers a bottom corner. Just one in-line crack on the bottom corner. I want to know a decent selling price is cause you can't tell the crack is on the screen when the screen is on and everything works perfect still. including where the crack is. I have the s4 now so I'm looking for a little extra cash but don't wanna rip myself or a buyer off. thanks!

the screen protector is dirty near the home button just so you know that is not the actual phone

replace the glass and you will get much more for it.

all you need is a 20 dollar part and a heat gun/ hair dryer.
there are videos on youtube. looks pretty "fool proof" if you are willing to risk possibly messing the digitizer up. if that happens you are at like 200 bucks in repairs.

Honestly, I don't believe it will sell as is. The S4 is out and that has caused some S3s on Ebay and Craig's List that don't have the crack for fairly reasonable prices.
I hope I'm wrong but I'd really try to repair it or at least get prices on having someone else do it for you. If you know someone who can fix it, you might get it done for parts plus a couple of six packs. :laugh:

Radioshack has a service they offer that fixes broken screens and it is less than a 100 bucks. I know in my area there are at least 2 places that fix screens for less than 50 dollars. Most of the phones on Craigslist in my area have already dropped in prices so don't expect much more than 200 for a broken screen.

well I already have the s4 and a backup droid x2 (haha I know) so I may just sell it for around $100-120. otherwise it will sit on my desk. I have a friend that already wants it bad. He is switching from an iPhone of many years so I can cut him a deal to help him out. Thank you everyone for the advice!
