glass screen or (display) parts

hello pls help, need me internet shop with worldwide shiping , sell original display or glass screen ? pls tell me

https://www.wholesalegadgetparts.com/search.php?mode=search&page=1&keep_https=yes
I've bought from them before: service is good, shipping is fast and product is OEM.

The digitizer assembly would include the actual glass correct? Of course my inquiry is less urgent as op's since I just want to get rid of some scratches

i cant find only glass , may be your find?

arnt the glass and the LCD glued together to form one uniform piece?

It's possible to change only digitizer?

No, its not posible to change only the glass. And good luck finding a screen in stock that actually works. I had a screen i replaced fail and seen many stories of refurbs with screen issues if you have good luck let me know because i still have one infuse that needs a screen. When buying the second screen for it (the company i got the first one from was very un cooperative) they didn't have one in stock but decided not to tell me that till i complained... i got fed up and bought another infuse for about the same price. There should be a few available in the xda market place.

[Q] Desire S digitizer

I am looking for HTC Desire S digitizer replacement, because mine is pretty scratched from previous owner. Of course I will buy it from ebay, but I am wondering am I looking for right digitizer?
For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Touch-S...ultDomain_0&hash=item27bc37a0c0#ht_3927wt_952
Digitizers list: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...tpos=&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1513&gbr=1&_pgn=1
Will this one fit for me perfectly? I am little confused, because looking for my phone ebay shows me digitizers for HTC Desire S S510E G12, and so far I know that's dual card chinese copy...

it should be ok. But i'm always wary of stuff that comes from Hong Kong (no offence to anyone and yes i understand most of the cheap stuff from UK sellers is the same thing)
Also this one seems better because the tools are free with it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DIGITIZER-T...939?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a19160cf3

And you can forget Gorilla Glass , you will get cheap plastic digitizer...

the actual glass and the digitizer are two different things. So if it's just the digitizer, that's fine

i agree, i would be cautious ordering from hong kong on ebay as i have many times had issues with sellers when ordering phone parts..

I am not wondering about buying parts from ebay/HK this time as will it be allright for my phone...

Oh, I didn't even realise that. Will there be any noticable difference from original digitizer now on my Desire S and that one selling @ ebay for 10-15$ ?

well the last time i changed the digitizer was with the iphone 3g. The replacement was a cheap £10 one and to be honest i could not tell the difference.

are you saying that over this digitizer screen we have one more protecting glass ?
then there is no reason to OP change digitizer

If i'm correct it usually works like this: lcd--gorilla glass--digitizer and they're all glued together.
If you follow a tutorial such as this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaawEVWZvG4 you should be good.

I think Gorilla glass is what you touching wit you fingers (scratch protection for digitizer) and front glass with digitizer is in one part as in picture posted before. So if you buy cheap china touch screen - you will get digitizer with plastic on top. As I said - you can forget Gorilla Glass front lens.
R.

Dont mean to jump on someone else's thread but didnt see the point of making a new one. im getting a lot of ghosting/ image bleed. would it be a digitizer replacement i need? if so is it easy to replace and could i use my existing glass as it is in really good nick.

Digitizer replacement??

I searched but couldn't find concrete info... Can i buy any sensation digitizer and install it on my sensation 4g?
I dropped my phone and the screen shattered...

HTC SENSATION 4G G14 GLASS SCREEN/LENS + TOUCH DIGITIZER OEM REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY

HTC Sensation Glass Digitizer Replacement Repair
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ImE5hUXK8s

I bought a Sensation 4G recently with a cracked screen and I replaced the digitizer. It went great, and having my first screen replacement done, I'm not so nearly intimidated by the process anymore. I bought from chinaphoneaccessories on eBay and it came with the tools, two screen protectors and the 3M double sided tape to affix the digitizer. I used 3 YouTube videos as a reference. One video said to use eye protection, and sure enough I had one unexpected shard of glass pop up out at me when removing the glass. Now I use the Sensation instead of a G1.

Replacement Screens

Hello,
I dropped my Nexus 4 and caused damage to the screen. There is a crack in the glass on the bottom half which causes touch not to work, but the top half is fully functional. Do I need to purchase a new screen and digitizer or just the screen?
I'm from Canada, so where is the best place to buy parts online?
Thanks

I think it´s a bit expensive, but its from canada so you might find it interesting:

As I know since the touch doesn't work on bottom then you need digitizer.

The Top Glass is the Digitizer. You will need the LCD+Digitizer set. DO NOT order just the Digitizer glass. It is for Expert Techs ONLY. The Glass and LCD are fused together and requires very careful disassembly. I highly recommend getting the 3 piece Digitizer+LCD+Frame set as that is a quick swap of the Parts that takes about 15Min total. The Glass is glued with an RTV Silicon Adhesive type on the frame (They use the RTV adhesive on the Back cover glass too) and is annoying to remove as Heat doesn't work as well as the normal adhesive most companies use. Plus there is a chance you could scratch up the frame trying to remove the glass shards (and there WILL be shards.) I have done this replacement before on both the Front and Back Glass and it wasn't fun. Just save yourself the frustration and get the 3 piece set. You'll thank me for it.

I too have a cracked screen,touch does not work but the display is working I am from India plz help me what should I do

Nexus 4 of course.

Again I highly reccomend getting the 3 piece with the Frame+LCD+Glass a 1 unit. You can sell the broken one on Ebay and get a few $ back that way. The swap out from that point is VERY easy and Quick. Youtube it or go to http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+4+Teardown/11781/1
All you are doing is a swap of the MB, USB Port, Cameras, Battery and the Switches. It is really easy and quick and requires very little skill. If you DO NOT get the 3 piece set and just the Glass+LCD then it's more difficult.
AGAIN! ANYONE who needs to replace the glass just get the 3 piece set. Follow the Dissassembly Guide (only need 2 tools a PLASTIC Pry tool and a #00 Phillips Screwdriver) I posted above. I know this is just me repeating my previous post above but I just wanted to stress this as there are sales out that sell JUST the Glass and getting just the glass will be a waste of money. There is also the Glass + LCD set but again 99.999999999% of people have neither the skill and/or the tools to separate the Broken glass from the Frame let alone the LCD itself. The glass has a Silicon Adhesive which resists heat (if you've worked on cars you know how fun RTV is, imagine it on Delicate electronics) and makes it hard to remove.

If that's for the 3 Piece set, that's a great price really. That used to be the On Sale Price for the 2 Piece set. So looks like prices are finally starting to come down.

Hello!
First, sorry to open such an old thread, but I just try to follow XDA rules. And this one match most for what I'm looking for.
On my wifes Nexus 4, after she dropped it, touch screen stop to responce at about 1 cm wide stripe from bottom to top. Everything else is ok, glass is not broken. I'm asking if there is also necessary to find 3 piece set or I could manage to fix it with this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Display...317?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e9850f8ed

That part doesn't include the bezel. When you disassemble the phone, the entire front assembly includes the bezel and screen assembly. With that part, you would have to remove the screen assembly from the original bezel, then adhere the new one in. It's doabable, but a bit of a PITA, especially if you don't have a heat gun to soften the original glue. For about $60 you can get the entire front, including the bezel (brand new, without dings in the chrome) and save yourself a huge hassle.

Thank you on your answer. I've looking for 3 piece replacement, but I didn't find any cheaper then for around 90 EUR. Maybe I don't know what to search, because I don't know what the bezel is.

Digitizer replacement

Hello everybody!
Yesterday evening I dropped my phone and broke the digitizer. The LCD still works perfectly, though.
Has anybody bought a digitizer recently? How much should I pay for one? I'd rather spend as less as possible, but have a decent /good quality replacement.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: The reason of this question is that I am afraid of ending up buying a defective replacement and come across stupid behaviours like lag ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27948877 ) or partial unresponsiveness.
I've spotted some <10 euros shipped digitizers from China and Hong Kong on ebay like this ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Desire-...tizer-Lens-Glass-S510e-Adhesive-/310722093025 ), would they be suitable (they seem veeery cheap).
There are some on amazon as well ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/DESIRE-REPL...K7GA/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A37V4Y5C680M31 ), I would be likely to buy this one, but maybe someone with more experience than me will point me in the right direction

It's better to ask a offline store dealer about the exact replacements for your phone... Then you will know what kind of digitizer u need... I was Askin for a touch replacement for a friend and got to know that our device gets touch panel & lcd together so better check n purchase!

Do it right and slowly and you'll be fine. Make sure you use tape between the LCD and Touch Screen when you replace it. And don't cover the sensors.

Yep, that's the one. It's very easy to impair the way it works if you don't line the tape up correctly when you replace the screen.

Ok, I'll be careful about aligning them. Is the sensor one piece with the lcd or is it a separate part? I am mainly worried about sticking the lcd and the digitizer together, i think that i can solve any problems disassembling the phone a second time. Do you suggest changing the adhesive for the screen? If so, can you suggest which tape should I buy? I read on sensation forums that the digitzer touching directly the body of the phone can cause ghost touches/unresponsive areas on the touch screen. Is that true?
Thanks you all for your answers, I appreciate that

The sensor is within the LCD screen, but I think it may be a physically separate part (it's been a while since I took my DS apart).
You should always fully remove all traces of the old tape and replace with new - search on Amazon or eBay for "2mm double-sided tape"
I never encountered 'ghost' touches, and you shouldn't either if you replace it correctly.

Ok, thanks. How much did you pay for your replacement part? Did it feel like the original?

You can buy a bundle, but it's much cheaper to get the touch-screen on its own and fit it yourself.

Hi, I have a doubt. I'm on the repair, but I don't really know which tape is the best for this repair and for the GSII I'm doing next (and the ones in the future). Is this one fine or, if not, can you suggest a suitable one?
