Where to get glass replaced?

Phone fell out of my pocket while sitting in a patio chair, maybe 12" off the ground...landed on concrete and yeah, I'm doubting this is gorilla glass. Anyhow, anyone know where to get it fixed?

is it too early to have those retail parts...on the market...
contact htc or carrier, see if they have any repairmen plan

I've only heard of one website so far that is able to replace the LCD and digitizer for the HTC One X so far, and they charge $250 to do so... I agree with beaups, just use a spare phone right now for a month or so until they get the needed parts in the "market" if you don't want to send it back to HTC or your carrier

Gotta be within the first 30 days...try to add some insurance?
Not the most ethical thing and I don't condone it, just providing another possible option.

Thanks guys. Just got a ticket opened with HTC and will see what they charge me. Sold off all my old phones a couple days ago except for my iPhone 4, so I'll switch back to that in the meantime. That screen is gonna seem soooooo small.

The phone is gorilla glass 2 but it is also like the iPhone 4 in that it exposes the edges to impact and hardened glass shatters very easy when you hit an edge.

^it fell exactly face down. Pretty flush. And I'm not kidding about the distance it fell. No biggie, it's just a phone.

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´d try ebay. I´m sure one of those hongkong based merchants offers spare displays.
good luck!
Edit:
I think it´s a bit expensive, but its from canada so you might find it interesting:

But, do I need the digitizer or just the glass? If the top half still functions, does that means I only need glass?
Thanks.

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.

LG G2 is very fragile!!!!

If your thinking of getting this phone get a case as soon add possible! That happened after my father dropped hood phone once. Now the bottom part of the screen where the on screen buttons are does not work. So he just went back to his GS3. I have not found any tutorials on how to replace the screen and digitizer or if just the digitizer.

I did the same. Dropped my G2 going into Future shop to buy a case for it. Chipped the top left corner (can barely see it!) and now the top portion of the screen doesn't work... Now I have to get the screen and digitizer replaced...not cheap.

Y'all are some brave people to not put a case on such a great phone from the beginning lol

Thats what you get for buying LG. The companys products are notoriously ****ty and unreliable junk. Tvs, phones, cameras, everything. I been burnt so much. Not buying their piece of **** products again

Ooops too expensive for that bad thing...:silly:

Picked up mine from best buy for free yesterday. Was supposed to be $99 but rang up free. Gotta love teenagers in the work force!

I've smashed mine twice since november, today being the second time. 1st time it was in its flip cover case. This time, I took out of its case to lie in bed with it (cover gets in the way when you're on your back), went to the bathroom, fell out of my hands, 2 feet drop. Smashed again.
I have the Flip Cover, Otter Box Defender, now ordered the Incipio Leather Folio 2 in 1 and the Incipio Dual.
Figured if I had options I'd keep a good case on it constantly. Lucky I have insurance for it, 120$ deductable. I've reached my 2 claim max for the year though...
Most ...Fragile phone...ever...

I'm still getting a G2. Samsung uses versions of LED screens which have some chance of burn in, ghost images.
LG g2 is LCD. Yes there's a chance of dead pixel but I would rather take my chance with that instead.
Besides, LCD is easier to see on sunlight.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

I dont use a case for my LG 4X HD. I have dropped it many times, no cracks. It depends on the build quality, weight, the way it fell and so on.
I find cases ugly and unnecessary.

Thats not entirely true. Unless you wont change your phone in 2 years, the chance of getting burn ins is low. Be careful with LG,they have a tendency to drop phone support ASAP.

My fathers G2 was put in a spigein slimarmor case before the sales rep even set it up. Last month his digitizer was going wokners, had a slight nick in the case that pressed stuff together. Took it to the sprint store, and the reps replaced the front of screen on the spot without even having to do a warranty claim.that LG glass is super thin, too thin in my opinion which is also the reason I will never buy the flex

i dropped my g2 more than 3 times luckily no damage. i dont have any cases.

I have 2 xs scratches on the gorilla glass. Its not so hard.

Managed to crack the screen after two days lol

Hmm, i dropped mine 2 times but i got it a good cover since i buy it so didn't get any damage still the screen did got a little scratch but i don't really know how it happens it was a few days after...

I know, I've heard it's not too bad. My friend also has it and he said he has dropped it multiple times and nothing has happened to it.

It probably can depend of supplier and party . My friend bought first G2 and had many problems with it, so he returned it to the shop and got the replacement.... but the second one was not good too. Screen just cracked after about a week of use -__- But I know many people with really good experience with this device, so it really depend of how lucky you are )

LG Screen Repair

So on day 4 of using my Nexus 5 I cracked the screen pretty badly. It was sitting on the edge of my dining room table and I hit it up into the air. It did one rotation and landed on a plate. I'd say the total fall couldn't have been more then 5 or 6 inches... The screen was totally smashed. :crying:
Anyway I've just sent it into LG for repair. The return process was pretty smooth but the CS Rep would not give me a quote or any idea what the replacement cost would be. I should hear from them in a few business days with a price. Anyone in the same boat?

Did you have a case/ a screen protector on? I'm sorry to hear that.
According to iFixit "The glass and LCD are fused to the display frame. Fixing broken glass will be either expensive or very difficult."
Might as well just invest in another one or another phone.

No case. Although I never had one on my Nexus 4 or Galaxy Nexus and they got through some drops ok. I think the difference here is the edge to edge glass. Even a small hit on the edge will crack the screen. Trust me there will be a case on it if I ever get it back.
I am guessing that it will be at least $150 based on iFixit and some quotes I've seen from the Nexus 4 thread. I'll update everyone when I get a price.

Pay with a credit card? Unless you have a poverty card, there is a good chance your card will have 90 day purchase protection and will cover the cost of the replacement.

Well I just got a notification that fedex delivered my phone to LG Repair facility. Now just waiting for a phone call.
Has anyone else received a quote on a screen replacement yet?

Hello, I m realy wondering how LG can repair your screen without giving you any kind of pre invoice???
I can anderstand that like dead HDs, they can't say how it would cost before examine it but then they must call you back to ask you if you accept the price!
Unless they have done it for free....

Yes my understanding is that they will call me first with a price before repairing it. If I accept they will fix it. If not they will send it back.
I really don't have any choice tho really. If its anything less then the 350 I paid for it Ill probably get it fixed. Other then the cracked screen its a brand new phone.

Well I got the quote from LG. It's $146 dollars to repair the screen. Not too bad I guess.

Screen repair/replacement prices for S8+ in UK?

I've had my S8+ for just over 3 months now. I generally keep my phones pristine. Always in a case. Today my phone fell out of my pocket whilst getting out of the car, falling screen first onto the rough concrete. I picked it up off the floor and found that, surprise surprise the screen had those dreaded spider webs over the two top corners.
The phone still works exactly the same so the digitiser seems to be unaffected by the drop.
My question is two pronged.
1. How much would a screen replacement cost (samsung and 3rd party repair shop)
2. Is it possible for just the screen glass to be replaced instead of the full oled screen?
If yes then how much would it cost?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers.

Screens cost via ebay £219. or if you wanna replace the front glass they am around ten pounds, the issue is if you replace only the glass you could lose it's water resistant or dust can get in its a big job for glass only. Why not ring samasung to see how much they charge ? as i got a feeling samsung will charge around the £350 mark i would personally go with samsung...

Might be cheaper to sell the phone and get a 2nd hand S8.
I will speak to samsung tomorrow.
Thanks

I'm sure I saw a post here on xda Samsung quoting some one s8 front glass replacement 170 mark or could be 315 mark that's USD it was a while ago.. Can't really remember exact figure. best to ring them or sell on ebay and get your self a mint one...
