Hi.
So my phone managed to survive a sandstorm with only small scratch.
But i am wondering if i can somehow repair the damage.
If not, can i buy just front display or do i need full digitizer with all the sensors?

Been told this does a pretty good job: Displex Touch Screen Polish[/FONT]
Display screen & lcd display usually sold as an assembly pack for 110 to 130$.
Found a webstore that sells the screen only but seem to be out of stock. Believe it was Rounded.com
Yeah. I saw Rounded.com too. Well i might hold it scratched for a year (so scratches can build up) and then replace it. And components should be also cheaper.

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?
No video camera and the video would've been 3 hours long

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.

+1. That's funny as hell.
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 just got my screen replacement for my phone and it didnt come with any adhesive, should i see how it feels without the adhesive or just send it in to HTC to fix it
i have been watching a lot of teardowns and they are saying there is no way to replace just the glass, you have to purchase a whole new LCD, but they are selling just screens on ebay so i dont know if it will work

I don't know but by the looks of our hoX..its difficult to separate the glass from the digitizer..i tried it with my friend's HoX and i already tried heating it but it wouldn't separate..
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
it is extremely difficult if not impossible to separate the glass from the lcd on our screens unfortunately without damaging one or both of the components. Don't get me wrong, I've seen it been done, but it's very risky. I also dont advise using just any adhesive when dealing with our phones. use the suggested 3m adhesive when replacing the lcd+screen, I think its fairly cheap now. I used some crazy glue I bought at the store and it turned out damaging my screen a bit, so a small strip across the screen didn't recognize touch, which was very annoying. Gonna be replacing it again very soon.
just bought this phone used, but the bezel is so damaged that it's hard for me to even look at the phone.
i wonder if there's an easy way of replacing the bezel? im not sure i want to transplant the entire screen on the kit i bought, since it seems like the glass breaks easily.
Buy a case, most of the decent cases cover up the besel

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.

Alternative like previously mentioned is get a case for it but thats entirely your choice.
Bezel is attached to the digitizer

No it's not, it's attached to the front housing, the entirety of which can be bought of eBay brand new for around $20

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.
I dropped my phone from my bed today and if landed fave down. The whole screen is shattered, but it is still use able. Can someone link me to the OEM screen with fastest shipping possible?

Is there a need to buy that part? I can't just buy the glass? My phone is still fully functional, but I just need the glass to be replaced.

You're gonna have to separate glass from digitizer which is a pain in the *** it's better just to replace the whole thing

Repair your phone as soon as possible because this spot is due to overheating and if you are using OC then use without it otherwise the only solution is to go Repair Shop
No i am not using it overclocked. I left it tethering and came back and found that. I dnt have an htc repair shop where i am and i dont trust these other repair guys. So i wanna knoe if its the lcd or what that is broken.

Well, your LCD is definitely breaking, its spreading out when hot because the heat makes the liquid more thin I believe. If you are sure all other functions are normal and that you are not getting any forced overheat reboots or the digitizer is fully functional then I would at minimum replace the LCD, if possible replace the LCD + digitizer as a whole unit as its easier to fit

No! That's a very dangerous thing to do! It won't help the screen and moisture will build up on your mother board and kill your phone!
