As user above mentionned, it's about 240$ to buy a new lcd + digitizer on ebay and a DYI job.
It's unfortunate that our devices are so fragile.
Best of luck.

Sammy can repair it for $200 if you send it in. It'll take about 2 weeks to complete ("roundtrip"). Just call Samsung directly.

Yea since it's not cracked, I found a solution.. To buy a colored screen protector that will have a skin on the top and bottom parts so I can just cover it up.. I just wish this phone wasn't so delicate..

I just received a screen from a fellow XDA member today and so I took it all apart and removed the old LCD/Digi and test the new one on the motherboard but there's no response. It is ON and I plugged it in as much as it can go. Please look at the images and tell me if there's something missing or idk... this is my only phone too. =( thanks
Your missing an important pic. Back of the LCD. From what I can see from what's here. Its all good. Now also are you testing without full assembly?
Sent from my One X using xda premium
alright will do, have to borrow my brothers camera again tomorrow.
Make sure when you testing, your fully assembled. I know it sucks.

The back shell shouldn't matter when testing the screen
i followed a video that said to test the LCD screen the way it is in the pic and his turned on. mine never did.

I can't tell if your clasp is down on that connector. Just a thought.. I've missed silly steps before
Sent from my One X using xda premium
yeah this guy is very clear in some parts.
what is the orange tape on the jaw bone connectors for? is it necessary?
does the back of the LCD need the adhesive on it cuz I dont have that,
and how hard should I press the LCD into the frame? it seems in, idk if it will help
Mine had the tape on it. Did not replace an of them.

I'd get some adhesive. Plus depending on quality you might want to concider butting some silicon around the glass to LCD for dust reasons

That looks like the wrong screen model for the AT&T HTC One X. I am not entirely sure, but I believe you need the exact screen model specified for the AT&T model which has the AT&T logo at the top.

That top cable is just for the touch screen so in theory that shouldn't be needed to have the lcd turn on.

Have you tried the old one? If the old one still works then you have a bad lcd.

There is the chance then that the system board has the issue then. Does it seem like it boots up? aka making the startup sounds.
it has great reviews and its on sale for 4 bucks. might as well order it, i did.
its very similar to the ionic case but half the price, and apparently just as good

I Just received my: Exact(TM) Armor Case for Google Nexus 4 Smart Phone Black (Amazon.com). It fits great with openings for speaker and both microphones. I already have a collection of tpu cases and Google's Bumper. At just a little under $8 shipped it can't be beat!
Received this case as well. I paid $4 and amazon prime upgraded me to one day shipping to avoid the snowstorm. I LOVE this case! Better than me Otterbox commuter case and also better than the ballistic I used to use. For the price this is a no brainer. Also I have not found this case slippery. The grips on the back catch my fingers. This will be my daily.

I just got mine on Friday all I can say is that this is the best 4 bucks I've spent. The case is firm the only problem is that it tries to peel off my screen protector on the side where the proximity sensor is but other than that, this case is very close to what ballistic will be offering

My cracked screen is starting to get annoying and I want to fix it. Who has replaced just the glass and how easy/risky is it to do? I also found a place I could send it to and get it done for about 90 bucks, but I'd much rather only spend 20 if it is fairly easy to do myself
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I work at a repair shop. We only do the entire touchscreen assembly. I've repaired at least 15 S3s. If you attempt to do just the glass, it will be difficult and it will probably look like ****. Note: I'm good at what I do, and it still seems difficult. Not to mention, if it's going to look like ****, why bother? Use insurance or save up enough to change the whole display.
See i thought it would be tougher than it looks. You know of a good place to purchase the display?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Its fairly difficult to do. Especially without a heat gun and such. In the past I have replaced the glass on 2 different smartphones using a blow dryer and about $5 worth of tools.
After watching several videos for the GS3 I decided to pay to have it done. I found a repair shop in NYC that promised same day service. They charged $170 to replaced only the glass. In terms of looks it looked beautiful but the functionality was a bit sketchy, so I returned there and they ordered the entire display assembly and installed it free of additional charge. It works fine now.
In retrospect, I should have returned it to Samsung and had them replace it for me but I didn't want to wait (there's a 1 wk turnaround time). At the time Samsung was charging $170(don't know how much they charge now)
It possible that the repair job I got was an anomaly but imo the way Samsung has constructed the screen/digitizer assembly it is fairly difficult for a lay person to replace just the glass themselves.
Hope my experience was helpful
I never found it to be very difficult..

Since the OP was talking about GS3 I'm assuming that's the replacement you were referring to.
Did your phone function well after the replacement? As I said above mine seemed to lose some touch sensitivity after the glass-only was replaced.

If you want the most heavy duty case I dare you to spray down an ottrrbox or uag case with that tough coat of bedliner spray they use for pickup trucks.
You will have prob have the sickest case out there
So you link us to a website that doesn't sell s4 cases? You trying to piss people off?

ive had this case now for like a month and even tho its very bulky gosh darn does it get the job done. i work in a warehouse type deal and it has all cement floors ive dropped this phone say... maybe 5 times from chest height and im 6 foot this thing just bounces around cause of the rubber corners and you dont even hear it fall. its a great case i do hate the built in screen protector that kinda like the otterbox one just take it off, its also a little harder to use the pulldown menu with the little part along the top. tough as nailsss
