I had my phone in my back pocket and sat down, when i took my phone the screen was broken. I've been going back and forth with Alcatel to get a solution or something to no avail. I found a screen with a digitizer on ebay that i'm about to buy. Does anyone know how to take off the cracked screen?
It's nearly impossible to remove the screen without further damaging your phone. Most of these phones use glue to keep things together and they really aren't very serviceable. You could try to find someone who has experience with replace phone screens but i would not try this yourself.
I really don't know why people keep phones in their back pocket. It is just asking for trouble.

Hello all I hope someone here can guide me because I am at a loss.
A couple weeks ago I cracked my screen and have been searching for a replacement
Digitizer since then but everywhere I look is either out of stock or comes with the
LCD (which I don't need ).
I know this is a bit forward for my first post here but I am hoping someone
may have a suggestion as to where I might be able to pick one up so I can finally get my phone back to it's
original glory.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions on this matter.
In htc digitzer and screen are unity, so if you have problem with touch, you have to change all screen.

From what I have read the glass and the digitizer are one piece but it is possible to separate the LCD in this guide :
androidforums. com/htc-one-s/609247-how-fix-htc-one-s-screen.html
Problem is every website I have looked at the glass/digitizer is out of stock and it's triple the price to get it with the LCD.
you can't separate, because in amoled all layer are connected in fabric.

i repair phones for a living. and i'm telling you, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE APART THE DIGITIZER AND LED!!! most new htc phones, like the iphone 4/4s and newer samsung phones the glass and display come together. yes, it is possible to take them apart, it's more hassle then it's worth, you are almost guaranteed to break your display (unless you've done it a few dozen times) and then when you try to put everything back together, it will not fit together right because the LED will be warped by your pulling and bending it out of the frame. also, any part you see sold as just the digitizer is either not the correct part and even if it fits and works it is not OEM

I appreciate you taking the time to clarify that for me, I had hoped it would have been easier than that. I can start looking for the correct part now and finally get my phone sorted out.
Again thanks for your help.
Question:

Is it possible change only glass, i plan to buy spare part from this link:

Hi all, Merry Christmas!
Well, my Christmas isnt so merry this year. Two families (friends with their kids) stopped by for Christmas eve dinner and my son with their kids were playing and the next thing i know, my tf300's screen cracked and no display. I can see the back light turned on, but no display. My TF300's alarm was beeping, so I am guessing that the tablet is still functional, but the screen is so messed up it wont show any display.
My question is, should I even attempt to fix the screen? Or just purchased a new one? I saw many cracked screen pics and all of them were able to turn their screen on.
Please advise on what to do.
Thanks,
Sid.
What's cracked? There 2 components in there: the LCD and the Digitizer. I assume if nothing shows then the LCD is gone, but that's a guess because if there's a crack across it normally would still show some (messed up) image like vertical or horizontal lines. Now the LCD is beneath the Digitizer. If you see cracks on the surface also, that means the Dig is gone too. Which makes it easier but costlier.
You can order both for around $150.00, but replacing can be a pain unless you've delicate hands. Separating the LCD from the digitizer is boring enough but you must to do this to get to the bezel. The more meticulous part is to remove the plastic bezel around the digitizer to reuse on the new one. You have to scrape around the edge because the two parts are initially bonded together by some really strong glue.
In my opinion, it's not worth it to take it to a shop as they would charge an inordinate amount for a used device (around $200.00!!). For the inept, it's certainly damn if you do and damn if you don't. If you need more info 'bout doing it, I can help as I've done it before. Alternatively, if you decide to get a new one and part this out, I am looking for the cable and possibly touchscreen board for mine. Maybe we can work something out. Whatever.

I am not so sure what's cracked actually. But, if i press the power button, there's just black screen, no display whatsoever although i can see light shines through the cracks. So I am guessing both the LCD and the Dig are gone.
I am thinking about parting the broken one out and buy a refurbished one from walmart and get the walmart protection plan, so I dont have to worry about a broken tablet for at least 2 years.
So a few weeks back I managed to completely shatter the screen on my beautiful GS3, and figuring it would be cheaper to get a new piece of glass off ebay for $8 rather than go through insurance, I decided to give that a shot. Everything seemed to be going fairly well, and I powered up my device and thankfully it still worked! My only issue was that I had rubbed off a bit too much glue and the glass had some difficulty staying attached to the phone, and would often cause the touchscreen to glitch. I would just push the glass firmly down against the screen and it worked fine. I had tried numerous times to reheat and reapply the screen, but to no avail. A few weeks go by and besides the occasional glitching it goes pretty well, and I try a few more times to get the screen to stick still with no luck. Finally today I decided to try a bit of double stick tape, which didn't stick nearly as well as I had hoped but when I went to unlock my phone..... darkness. Strangely, the touch still seems to be working as apparently I accidentally started calling someone before restarting my phone. I can still feel it vibrating sometimes when I touch it, and it definitely boots, but I can't see anything. When I power it on, if I am in a room with complete darkness I can see the back light briefly power on before turning off again.
Is there anything I can do to try and save my precious before having to get a replacement via insurance? If not, is there an easy way to make a nandroid and extract it from my phone to put on the new one?
Sounds to me like the digitizer is shot. You will have to do an insurance claim or send to Samsung for repairs.
As far as backing up the phone, there is a way to do it. You need to search for adb how to and learn that. There are ways to do it all over these forums.
Good luck!
Well, I knew the time would come, I shouldn't be so picky on cases. I had my phone in my lap, hopped out of the car and heard my phone drop from my lap. Totally forgot it was there. One corner impact and it cracked my screen, which is disappointing because I drop my iPhone all the time and nothing happens to it. But, at least it's not the whole screen that's shattered, might even be a waste to replace it. The screen is responsive still.
With that said, anyone know where I can get a replacement screen or should I have a "professional" do it?
I'm looking at this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Google-N...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item233373ec1c
That way there's no damage to the frame.
well yeah i want to know that too and how much it cost me to replace the screen

Ebay link looks OK. I guess you can replace screen yourself, if you have "straight" hands. Nexus 5 Teardown should helps you.
BTW, more Parts for Nexus 5.
Well, if you are going to try this one yourself, it's one of the "easier" ones. As long as you get the LCD assembly and frame that is already put together. On eBay, there are some vendors selling the the assembly + frame for $135. No really crazy tools are needed. Shouldn't be anything too catastrophic happen since you are changing the whole front of the phone. If you were trying to separate the top glass, I'd definitely advise against if you aren't a pro. If you absolutely don't feel comfortable with doing it and can be without the phone for a few days, then feel free to PM me, and we can discuss other options.
If you have steady hands, enough patience and some previous experience in disassembling phones (youtube could help a lot), it shouldn't turn out to be quite a big challenge.
I would advise though in some attention taking off the rear cover (it's not difficult, but if you apply too much pressure you might end up bending or breaking it). Same goes with the battery, which is attached to the back of the screen with some adhesive. Use a plastic tool for this, and try to peel it off with a strong and steady hand. Once you do that, it's only a few screws.
I think LG would fix it for $150 so $135 to fix it yourself eh. Unless you want the accomplishment, but I have never ventured into replacing a cracked screen.
Just got off the phone with LG, they said they can't price over the phone, they have to have a tech see the phone and they'll call with a quote. So, 2 weeks without a phone just to get a quote and maybe repaired if I want to spend that kind of money.
I am 80% positive that I have viewed a few post of them charging $150 for screen replacement. You aught to check in the thread "who dropped it" the answer might be there. Its in general. Hard to find with xda app.

Well, turns out once the screen is cracked it cracks easier now. As of now, the phone starts clicking on random things when the screen is touched.
I'm debating to either buy a new one and sell this one, should come out to the same price as buying a replacement screen once the cracked phone is sold.
What would you guys suggest? I can't send it in to LG as I need my phone and replacement screen + front housing is $200 to replace myself or $220 to replace by a professional.
I'm looking at this: http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-with-frame.html
It seems to come with majority of everything and I just need to transfer over the antenna wires, motherboard and battery.
or

I'll have to transfer over everything, which they have a tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPuCmfhzgbg - which makes me nervous seeing this.

Can't you try the below? Quite easy to dis-assemble the phone, steady hands and proper screw driver + torx driver, use a hairdryer to warm up the glue connecting the battery + LCD to the digitizer
Sorry can't post external links to XDA due to post counter search Ebay for "Frame-LCD-Display-Touch-Digitizer-Screen-for-LG-Google-Nexus-5-D820-D821" results are between $108-$120 ...

Hello,
I recently had a very unlucky fall (angle, missed case) that cracked my Asus Zenfone 6 ZS630KL's screen and LCD. The replacement parts are currently in transit, but I'm having a hard time understanding the necessary replacement procedure -- it seems in some phones its possible to start from the front, removing the glass first, and in other phones one must start from the back and remove the screen last. I have found two teardown videos for this phone, they start from the back, but these are not geared towards screen replacement.
Can anyone advise? I hope my confusion is understood/clear. Can I replace the screen without a full back-to-front teardown?
Thanks!
How did the repair work out? Did you start from front or back?
I broke my screen too.
