Ok so I cracked my galaxy s3 screen yesterday and wanted to know what's the best/cheapest place that'll fix it.
I had this issue.
That part is stupid expensive... $300+
I found a local shop that replaces it for $140. But that's in Georgia...

15$ on eBay for replacement glass.
Tedious to replace but worth a try for the money.

However the LCD screen is far more expensive to buy.
I believe shipping to Samsung having them replace the LCD and glass will cost you around 140$
Give them a call. 1-888-987-4357
Hit that thanks if I pointed you in the right direction
sent from that young galaxy on clean ROM!
Replacing the frame+digitizer+screen is easily the fastest and easiest way to fix it. The part is $209. It will probably three days to get to you and 10 minuets to replace.

I bet replacing the LCD screen is really hard since our phones come with an amoled.
Sorry couldn't resist.

They all suck. Haha but for 20 bucks and a heat gun, I think replacing just the glass is worth a try. If LCD was damaged I wouldn't even waste my time
I'd have Samsung do it. As it is the cheapest way

Ok thanks everybody. I think I'll just sell mine with a cracked screen and get a used one off eBay.
hey so i bought a nexus 7 (2012) from my friends little brother and it has some glass missing and a few cracks along it, about 2.5/5ths of the screen is where the cracks are and the screen will not work, the LCD itself looks like its not broken but the area where the crack and below is unresponsive. sooooo im not sure what i need to buy, i see that some devices have the digitizer built into the lcd what that happen to be with my device? im not sure yet what i should buy, do i need a new digitizer or a lcd as well? if anyone has any links, i would really love to buy them on amazon or maybe ebay if the price is right.
Bump?
Hi. I cracked the glass on my S4, and cant seem to find any replacement parts on the internet which are original.
Is it at all possible to get an original screen glass, and if not - Where would be the smartest to buy an non-original if considering quality?

My kid cracked his phone as well. Went to this lil kiosk in the mall and they cost like 150 to fix. Better off going thru the asurion to get a new phone.
I'm also interested, there's no way to find any information of the screen quality on the Internet as far as I can see.
I'd like just the glass as the phone works well, don't mind trying to replace it with tutorials available.
A friend of mine actually broke his screen and found a place to buy a replacement. He has the Sprint variant... I doubt they're not compatible... I'll ask him and see what I can find!
I have replaced a glass (on a separate phone) and glass+digitizer both purchased from etradesupply dot com. Their stuff seems to be legit OEM. I recommend them.

Ah, I was wrong, he literally only needed the outside glass so.... that's why it was so cheap. Sorry!
But that site looks like they have legit stuff.
At SSC very Expensive

You can buy from witrigs.com. I heard it from other members who bought the replacement parts of Sony Xperia Z1 from here. It seems not bad.

Good luck. If you are doing just the glass, just remember to take your time. The adhesive on the OEM glass is quite a pain to remove but it can be done without damaging the digitizer. Slow and steady! :good:
I replaced my severely cracked screen with a $6 replacement off ebay. Slooooow, steady process to remove the original screen being stuck to the digitizer with a clear adhesive. There are several videos on youtube to demonstrate the process. The new one works fine, although it is a little more reflective than the original. The touchscreen works well, but perhaps slightly less sensitive than before. A nice touch of the new screen is that the Back & Menu buttons are now blue, which looks good and is less bright than it used to be, which is an upgrade, to me. I'd say it leaves the phone about 95% as good as as it was before I dropped it. To me, well worth it to save $170 to extend the life of the phone until the S6 or S5 Prime or LG G3 or whatever phone is a big enough upgrade to make me jump. I did have a Note 3 for 9 days and it was epic, noticeably better than the S4 in pretty much every aspect, except that it was simply too big to deal with on a daily basis. But it did give me a nice dose of the level of performance I can look forward to with my next phone.
I also broke my glass few days ago and was thinking with replacing it with the new black edition glass that has no texture, just pure black. Does anyone know where I would be able to get my hands on that glass?
Thanks in advance!

Thumbstarrepair.com fixed my wife's busted screen on her S4 for $58. Looks like a brand new phone.

If you don't want to mess with the adhesive buy the screen with the frame included. It's more expensive but much easier to replace and keep the phone in perfect condition.

Search eBay for "galaxy s4 screen frame genuine", at least if they send you a counterfeit item you can open a Paypal dispute for selling fake items.
You can buy the screen with the frame or not. I always buy with the frame.
Here's an example of the screen+digitizer (no frame), 132$
Genuine Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 i9505 i337 M919 LCD Screen+Digitizer Touch Glass
Screen+digitizer+frame, 217$
Details about Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 4G LTE Black Screen LCD Glass on Frame *GENUINE SAMSUNG*
The screen & digitizer will fit any S4 variant. But if you're buying one with the FRAME as well, there are 4 to choose from.
i9505 - fits i9505 ONLY
i9500 - fits i9500 ONLY
i545 - fits L720 & R970 also
i337 - fits M919 and i9505G also
I had mine done by a guy on Ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/usr/thumbstar?_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2754
Cost be about 65 bucks shipped. He uses the LOCA glue method (OEM style), not the double sided tape like most of the retail stores do. Sent it off and had it back within a few days. I just sent him my phone w/o battery and cover. Came back perfect in my opinion.
my local sprint store was going to repair my damaged LCD for $75... included new glass

200 USD plus shipping to USA about 150USD plus shipping to my country, its a brand new phone to me, just the glass its broken nothing else, there its no chims or anything,
I was wondering how hard it would be to replace the glass? I found it on ebay and amazon. It's $20 and I'm sure someone will ship to you. I've replaced many people's Samsung screens, but I didn't know if this would be the same?
