My screen cracked this weekend on my AT&T HOX. The LCD appears to be fine, but, from everything I've read, it will need to be replaced too. Does anyone have a recommendation of someone to buy the LCD/Screen Digitizer from? There are a ton of choices out there, but I want to make sure I get a screen that will be comparable to what I have now.
Thanks

Hi Folks,
So I broke the top screen on my SGS2 LTE SGH-I727R (ROGERS)! the Touch screen works and so the display!
First, I'm looking for screen replacement but all I get is replacements for SkyRocket with AT&T logo on them! Please anyone has a reference?
Second, I'm not sure of what I should repair! available screen naming varies with titles that include Digitizer, touch screen, top glass screen, full LCD screen. I'm confused whether to replace whole screen!
Thanks for help in advance!
Anyone please!?
I did the same thing to my phone this past weekend. The screen underneath looks fine, only the top glass is cracked but the phone is still fully functional. I have this exact thread in the Q&A section. After reading/searching, we need the touch panel aka digitizer - see this link for an explanation (we don't need the LCD, which is the expensive part!):

In my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680623 someone said they sell these everyday on ebay for 50 bucks or less, but I sure as h3ll haven't been able to find one. If anyone has gotten one of these in the past or can help us out please let us know!
Ebay has just the glass lens for $20
any luck?
Hey,
I've only had my LTE for about a week..but i was wondering if you had luck changing just the glass, or if it's impossible (as a lot of videos out there lead me to believe?).
I also have the skyrocket..no gorilla glass....
anyone? !
Did anyone ever find a resolution to this? I'm only able to find i727 replacement parts and it is my understanding that the i727r is a different size device..
Hello Guys!
2 Weeks ago, someone sat over my tablet, and broke me LCD screen. Just the LCD.
I've read a lot about it, but i'm still confused. Is there any incompatible LCD, or it's just the Digitizer?
I live at Brazil, and need to import a new screen. My first shot need to be the correct one ($56 just for shipping!).
Also, what do you think about this screen? ebay.com/itm/US-OEM-Asus-Eee-Pad-Transformer-TF300-TF300T-LCD-Display-Replacement-Parts-Rev1-/151041644182[/url]

So far as I can tell, it's only the digitizer that's giving problems. I haven't heard anyone complain about the LCD compatibility. If n doubt, you should choose a vendor that accepts returns. They may charge a bit more, but for your peace of mind I think it's a few bucks well spent.
I have dropped my phone and the screen kind of went crazy with colors and overdrawing images and slowly became completely unusable. Can the screen be replaced? I found a bunch of video and instructions on how to do it, but was wondering if replacing the screen will fix it or it's a bigger problem with some broken chip or smth like that.
If i can't fix it, any suggestion as to which phone to get as a replacement. I love custom roms and play with them all the time, but I am not uptodate as to which phone are good for this.
Thanks. Any help is appreciated.

screen replacement
it appears that you not only broke the screen but also the LCD behind the screen. It can be replaced, I have done several. you can pick up a screen with LCD digitizer for less than 100.00 on ebay. I also saw several with frames. If you get one with the frame it is very simple to change. Make sure it is with the correct service provider and you can put your boards in the new one without heating yours up removing the old components and installing the new ones. If you have any questions or concerns let me know. I can walk you through it.

Thanks for the reply. I did find some replacements for the LCD as well and the instructions are good. I am now debating whether I should just get a new phone. Any suggestions as to which one could be a good replacement?
just my opinion but I prefer the samsung phones, However there are many great phones out there. When I'm looking for something I new I like to research as much as I can about the product and compare them against each other. When It comes to phones it depends on what you want to be able to do with the phone. Not to mention that as soon as you but the latest phone on the market a new one will come out soon after....
Hi there, could anyone tell me based on experience, a really good LCD Screen + digitizer for me to buy? I can buy from ebay.in or ebay.com but there are hardly any ratings at all. If anyone has bought one, could you please tell me about the quality, link and if so, any defects? I would much appreciate it, thanks. Basically my screen is cracked an unresponsive, so i'm guessing I need LCD+Digi.

Hi, less than a month ago my screen also cracked, so I had to buy a new screen. Before buying it, I unmounted the phone and I had one more problem: the battery was COMPLETELY glued to the screen and I wasn't able to take it out. So finally I bought the screen and a new battery from eBay.
I bought this screen: ebay.com/itm/181445812771. I'm completely sure that the screen is the original one. I compared it with my cracked screen and they were exactly the same, except for the date printed in each screen, and it has a good quality, just as the screen that I had in my phone. BUT it was clearly used: the earpiece was a bit dirty and it had some glue on the back, probably from another battery. But I'm happy with the screen, actually, I prefer a used but original screen to a new but poor quality screen. Maybe they take this screen from a phone with a damaged motherboard or something like that. The screen doesn't have any scratch.
I wasn't so lucky with the battery. It was clearly a fake, so I returned it and bought another one from spareslg.com. I don't know if this battery is original or not, because there are some differencies between this one and the battery that I used before. Maybe this one has a bit better battery life, but I'm not sure, because now I'm using another ROM (based on 6.0 )
FYI, the non-original screens usually have problems with the proximity sensor and the GPS, so be careful with that. Good luck with the screen change! :good:
I bought a used Honor 8 that has a cracked front screen. It's tolerable but I've decided to get it fixed. The screen that is on now was a replacement screen. The lady told me that it cracked not too long after she got it replaced and that it happened without her dropping it or anything like that. She thinks that the person who replaced it, didn't know what they were doing. As of now, the phone works great but the screen isn't as bright as the original and seems to have burn in. I have thought about replacing it myself and wanted to ask, has anyone replaced their screen themselves? How'd it go? Would you recommend it? And if you got it replaced somewhere, what was the cost? How did it look like afterwards? I appreciate any and all answers!

Hello!
My screen is broken too. After a long search i've decided to order from Witrigs. There is only the custom screen available which is not as good as the oem one., but these are the best i could find from a reliable source. There is a video on the screens page which shows you how to install the new one. It will need some cheap equipment too to open the phone, like plastic-opening-card and case-opening-tool(the guitar one), yeah and don't forget the the LCD frame sticker. (and the suction cup, if you don't have any at home)
I'm still waiting for the parts to arrive, hoping that the screen's quality is acceptable compared to the original one. Also ordered a custom back panel because my got scratchy.
I'll write my experience about the screen and the repair when the parts arrive and assembled the phone.
Sry i wasn't able to post links because this is my first post here, but its easy to find them. For guide go for the video.
It's costed about 35$ with shipping and the back panel.
