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.

Worth buying an gs3 w/ broken screen?

I have found a craigslist post in my area saying there letting go there phone for $250. In the post they continue to say that only the screen is cracked. A picture they posted shows the phone on with cracks on the screen.
I have emailed them and they replied that if it doesn't sale they will just repair it, because it only cost $18 (this concerns me, why not just repair on such an expensive phone)
My questions: is it worth it?? Also what questions do you think I should ask? And if I meet them in person what should I look for?
Thanks in advanced xda folks!

My friend cracked the glass on his and the screen won't even turn on. I called the phone and it rang but the screen wouldn't light up and the digitizer wouldn't register touches. So I'd stay away.

I have seen replacement screens on eBay for $20 or so, but I believe that the digitizers are glued to the screen.
If you can't cleanly separate the two, you're probably in for the cost of a replacement combo ... about $200.
Still cheaper than a new one outright ...

I've seen replacement screens on ebay for maybe $15-20 but to replace it seems rather difficult: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70-W9JjVjg&feature=relmfu.
It's really up to you whether it's worth it or not. If you're up for the challenge of replacing the screen (or if you think you can live with the crack, you didn't mention how bad it is) then go for it. If not, I'd probably stay away as this doesn't exactly seem like an easy fix.

Try lowering his price to 200$ then send it in to Samsung they will charge about 190$ to replace it. The digitizer is glued to glass and u won't be able to separate and put on new glass.

If you can talk him down some and just pay Sammy... Most definitely.

It may not be broken but its all one unit.. my guess is they already know this or they would have gotten it fixed themselves

Replacement screens are about 18-20 but replacing them is very difficult because of the adhesive that bonds them... Dont't buy it.. you would have to buy a new bezel with the screen and digitizer attatched to it. about 200-250 itself..A shop around me does it but they said it would be 300 plus labor..

If you can get it at a decent price and can replace the screen cheaply then i would say go for it.

Where did u get that quote I have a broken gs3 and best option is Samsung 180 shipped and returned. OP did the phone need bezel replaced? Here is my damaged phone not one scratch on bezel landed perfectly flat and the SGP case doesn't offer much protection over the screen its almost flush. If it was under or roughly 160-180 plus 180 screen replacement sub 400 gs3 good price.

Original screen glass replacement?

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.

At SSC very Expensive

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!

Thumbstarrepair.com fixed my wife's busted screen on her S4 for $58. Looks like a brand new phone.

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.

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

Good LCD

Hey everyone does anyone know where I can get a good cheap LCD replacement for my phone

I'd help, but I can't with a clean conscience assist a whioux fan.
Seriously though, your best best it ebay. If you're just looking for the glass, I have an OEM one. But LCD assemblies are not cheap.

Screens come as an assembly. None of them are cheap unless you want one that breaks within 2 hours.

Wrong, I do repairs daily... these phones can be bought as an assembly, or glass and LCD separate, if your careful, and take your time... the lcd's you get off ebay work perfectly.

You can get whole screen for aroun 80$ from aliexpress (china, free ship)
for example

[Q] Glass Broken

The touch screen glass of my Nexus 5 is broken but the screen is working absolutely fine. I need to change the glass of the phone but customer care charges me Rs. 8000 (INR) for replacing the whole LCD DIsplay. Should I go buy a duplicate glass from ebay for approx Rs 1500?
Anyone had experience of how the quality of duplicate glass is would be of great help. Thanks a lot.

The glass and panel are one. Trying to separate the glass from the LCD would be extremely difficult and you'd risk damaging the LCD. With that being said, you're better off replacing the entire display assembly.

But it is approximately 5times the cost of screen only. And I searched on ebay.com and they are selling it at $5. So the difference it that case would be much more!

Here you go, good luck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYG66MFuwcU
Of course, if you're not competent doing such things you're likely to just break everything, in which case you'll have to buy another front panel anyways lol
Just purchase the entire front panel, 10 minute simple swap with hardly any risk.

Recently I changed my N5's broken glass, it costed only 7200/- from LG Service Center. I recommend you to go to any service center than doing it y yourself.

How much is 7200 converted to usd?
