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.

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!

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

Hi,
I've scratched my screen pretty deep . I will like to replace the screen and get a new digitizer but haven't found any online.
Has anyone had luck finding a Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus GT-P6200 Digitizer?

Believe me, my soul weeps every time i see that scratch... its end to end
sorry to tell you but i really don't think their will be any for sale for a log time i mean like 5months as this is still a baby device but have you tried claiming on your house insurance that's what i did with my nexus s last year
they have the digitizers on ebay now
I ordered a replacement digitizer on ebay about 3 weeks ago. They ship free from Hong Kong and the sellers all say that it takes at least 3 weeks for delivery. More sellers are there now with the digitizers. I cannot find a teardown video anywhere. Also, some repair shops fix the old p1000 but not the tab plus.
You definately want the tools to come with the replacement digitizer. I'll give it a shot blindly if I don't find directions and post how it comes out.... hopefully from this device!
i fixed cracked glass yesterday
The directions for the p1000 screen teardown pretty much worked. I used a hairdryer an an exacto knife to separate the digitize from the lcd. This was tricky. Of course you know to always push the knife away from you lest you cut your wrist.
An eyeglass cleaning towel worked to clear off the lcd. I didn't want to risk any solutions on it.
Prices on digitizers are dropping on ebay. I paid 75 for the kit and it is about $10 cheaper. Shipping does take long!

You just need to make sure you are getting the correct digitizer from a well rated seller. It's an easy ebay search. Also, you need the tool kit. The concept is to slide the tool around the space between the glass and case to release the catches. YouTube has lots of videos on the topic. It was a while ago when I did mine and used the T1000 directions. There may be a video with the 7 plus by now.
Using a hair dryer to heat the glass is critical. It softens the adhesive and makes it less dangerous. An exacto knife, glass and lots of force is asking for a trip to the emergency room. Let the heat do its job and always work the knige AWAY from your body while supporting the assembly on a firm surface.
Taking your time is crucial. The job's not that hard as long as you stay organized and don't force it.
By any chance, has anybody purchased a digitizer that doesn't have the Samsung logo on it? I'm kicking around the idea of replacing the digitizer to give my tablet a cleaner look on the front.

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

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.

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.

Any reliable supplier for a new one?
I've disassembled the broken one from the frame and just need the lcd+touch+bezel "glued" set.

Actually I took a good look at their product and it seems OEM and not Original.
Ended up ordering from here:
When it comes to parts I always get them off Amazon. I go by reviews and price comparison. If it's cheap it's fake, IMO. I've had a back and battery, both genuine and very happy with them, bought this way, but no screen, thank God. They have them

I replaced camera glass (not lens) because it was cracked. Looks like new one is plastic, it can be easily scratces and if I remember correctly original one is glass not plastic. Is every replacement is plastic or I bought bad one, this is important because I can't afford them easily. You guys pay 5 but I have to pay 20 or more.

Do a thing take your phone to a watch repair shop who puts glass in wrist watches, and ask them to cut the glass of the phone camera size and apply it on your phone. Got mine fixed from a local watch repair shop at 1.5$ and the camera is working just fine as it used to do.
Give a thumbs up if you feel it helped

Hi guys. I just have a quick question. I bought my note 4 2nd hand and upon checking i noticed there's a small crack on the glass cover of the rear camera. When i tried using the camera, it could not focus at all. It keeps blurring. So i replaced the glass cover, and when i tried using the camera again, same issue is still present.
Should i just change the entire camera assembly?

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...
