Hi Guys,
Yesterday i was walking on the street and my phone slipped out of my hand fell in the ground... The glass got smashed in one of the corners and i would like to get it replaced.
Could you tell me of a retailer where i could buy a replacement with good quality and reasonably priced? And can i buy just the glass or do i have to buy the LCD too?
Thanks in advance
You need the screen and frame since its fused together, something like this http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Touch-Digiti...cement_Parts_Tools&hash=item20e38dc59b&_uhb=1
Edit: that should be one piece, seems you have to bond the frame and screen? No clue, do some more research.

basically my front glass lens got a crack (LCD is fine) and my back housing has been worn out. If any one willing to donate a dead Captivate will really appreciate and will pay the delivery cost to Middle east.
If nobody helps you out, care to provide your phone for my project?
amazon.com, search captivate digitizer. if not on there, Google it. you can buy replacement parts.

Here you go. And why in god name does it cost that much? This phone is an antique at this point! $124 for a screen? Perhaps thats why the OP was hoping someone might have a dead one, probably cheaper to buy a broken captivate than buy a new screen!
I know it seems late, but get a screen protector, it helps your fingers glide over the cracks without getting cut. If you already have one, buy a new one, i know atfer a while it clouds the screen, and that plus the cracks will make you hate the phone.
A nice new clear screen protector will let you be able to tolerate it for a while longer....
I know what im talking about.....
heres my cracked cappy... it still worked too! i used it like this for a good 4 months or more, then bought a used one off a co-worker for 100 bucks.

I bought a replacement "glass only" off ebay for 9 bucks, but upon more research and watching a bunch of youtube videos, i found out the LCD digitizer and glass are bonded together, so there was no way of removing the old glass without damaging the LCD.
I installed the replacement glass over-top of the cracked glass, it helps see past some of the cracks, and stops my fingers from getting sliced by the sharp edges of the cracks. its sometimes hard to activate the 4 bottom capacitive buttons through the double glass, but I only use that phone for testing and skype.
Any luck repairing it?
The outer glass on my Moto G cracked recently, and I was wondering if there's a way to replace only the glass. The digitizer/lcd is working just fine.

Hey Bro!
My Moto g is happened the same thing... All places that I see for replace the glass, say that not possible to replace just the glass, Cause has one glue and they won't replace them. Here, to replace the lcd/Digitalizer cost like a 150 Dollars.
Cheers Man! :highfive:
There's a few tutorials on youtube for that. You can get the parts on ebay..
I noticed that replacing just the glass screen is a bit of a hassle because its glued on the screen panel and the broken glass has to be heated to get it off. After that, you have to remove the glue stains with a solvent. This is perhaps the reason local shops dont do that. It's too much labor. I would only try it for myself if I wouldn't care too much about breaking the phone or learn from the process.
Although a glass screen replacement with a lcd panel is a bit more expensive, I would recommend it for easier replacement if you are new to disassembling a phone. Its around 40 bucks on ebay. Or buy the screen and digitizer and ask a local phone repair man to do it for you.
I use a tempered glass screen protector to avoid this kind of problems. Just a couple of bucks saves you allot of time and money..
Hello,
I managed to drop my phone from not even 10cm(Gosh this thing is Slippy and fragile as F**k) on concrete and the Glass(not the Display!) broke.
So i was searching on the internet for glass replacement and found one on ebay,but i have also heard that it is quite difficult to remove the glass withou damaging the Display/Touchscreen.
If someone knows if it´s possible or if i need a whole new screen i would appreciate it.
Have Samsung replaced it for you. Bring your S6 back to them for repair. It will remove glass compatibility and job quality problems.
Mine was not even a week old and it fell from my fking pocket onto asphalt/road and part of the screen cracked. It's the damn bulging rounded glass on the sides which make the phone so fragile compared to, say, an S4 which had flat screen!
The retailer does not cover broken glass and was asking 200+ dollars to repair!!
Bought a tempered glass for $16 and it's kinda usable although painful to look at now. And the fking dents on the sides of the aluminum case make it a more painful experience considering I invested all my money on the phone and was waiting to buy a cover for it. Wished I bought the $50 clear view cover when I got the S6
The only place in my area that can replace stuff like this is my provider vodafone.
But i dont really want to spend 200€ to have my Display replaced.
Bite the bullet and have the glass replaced then buy a protective case.
It is difficult to replace only the glass for your s6. I suggest getting a Samsung Galaxy s6 screen replacement with digitizer.
Bump..
How much is this front glass worth? A place here in Grand Rapids wants $275. See my g920p sceen isnt cracked but got smashed in a bit and glass under it is crushed there isnt any cracks in the top layer. But few glass chips floating around the front lens. The Phone did started seperating and I put a drop of glue on edge of screen and frame and held it in and its a still truckn. It works fine and I do got insurance with 200$ deductible for a refurbished phone from Phone Claim. Hey any idea how long that takes?. Replace the phone or is there another option out there to get it fixed?? I dont have any of those heating tools and not gonna make this my first replacment. Now the wifes S5 I may try it for a bit of exprience get things I need when its broke.
Where can one source the rear glass from?
My Pixel 2 dropped from an ottoman onto a tile floor landing on its back top corner, and spider-webbed the back glass panel. I just measured this little ottoman - it's only 22" tall. A fall of 22" is all it takes.
My biggest concern is the spider web effect actually chipped the glass, where the glass breaks off in very tiny pieces. And it's depositing tiny glass particles all around the house - where i have a 1 year old toddler all over the floors. Not to mention my pants' pockets and my desk. I'll go pickup a cheap cover to keep the glass from crumbling all over the floors for now.
I see these "uBreakiFix" stores can replace the glass for $150 or so at a local store. I have no local store near me, nor do I think $150 is worth a tiny piece of glass. But they seem to be able to get the glass replacements.
I have repaired dozens of our tablets and phones of the years so I have no issue with that part. I just need to source the glass.
Thanks!

Hi, did you managed to get the pixel2 rear Glass? I had the same problem, but, I live in Brasil and have no one around to do the job.

Nope, not yet. For now I just got a cover until I can get a replacement.
Same problem, the google staff in Italy ask me around 200€. The rear glass for Pixel 1 is on eBay for 5€ and on what I've seen in YouTube it just need 5 minute of work.....
Keep in touch for the first who will find the replacement

Found this, so I'm trying it when it arrives
Hey man, just wondering if you can tell us anything new? My back glass shattered too and the glass itself isn't too expensive now. But can you get the old one off without complete disassembly? So many teardowns and nobody touched the back glass.
Hi everyone, my pixel screen has gone after a bad fall. I'm sad. Around my town there's no place that can fix it but they can replace it if supply the screen. On Amazon there is just the screen (20 euro circa) and the screen + the digitizer (120 circa). The touchscreen works perfectly. Is the 20€ glass enough or should supply them the digitizer one? Thank you guys.
Replacing only the front-glass is nontrivial.
Ask the shop if they have a laminating machine with a vacuum/autoclave.
I recently just bought front glass and found a shop that was able to replace the front-glass only. This is the far-cheaper solution, but now there's odd bubbles under the screen, so, find a shop that knows how to do it properly.
