When I was replacing my Galaxy Note II broken front glass I made a mistake tiny scratch on the screen itself, Im not sure if it called digitizer I mean the first layer under the glass, so my questions is can I fix this tiny scratch or not ? if yes what is the best and easier way to do it. Thanks:good:
guys I need to replace the new glass today, any ideas before I put the new one ??
Hi
My nexus 5 has fallen down. Touch and everything is working graet. But the front glass is broken. Is it possible to replace just the front glass or must i replace the whole lcd+Touchscreen??
The whole lcd costs 80 €. Its too much for this old phone.
Thanks in advance
You need special equipment to separate the glass from lcd and there is a large chance that you break the lcd. LCD with Glass and plastic frame cost around 40USD on aliexpress or ebay
Yup, aliexpress.com is the way to go for a low price but the screen isn't quite as nice as an original LG screen. I've replaced the LCD/frame/digitizer on two N5s and it was very easy.
Hello everyone,
I recently dropped my mix and I wish to get an lcd and replace it by myself.
I just wanted to ask if you guys know if the screen is glued to the frame or just attached with some screws.
I looked in YouTube and it seems it is not glued together but the lady in the shop said they sell the screen with frame that is already glued.
And if I get the screen separated can I glue it by myself? Or I better get glued one?
Also if anyone finds a good quality replacement video I'll be happy to watch it.
Thank you in advance
Roy.
Better to get glued one, will save lot of time.
The plastic frame is glued into the side of LCD outer glass.
I'm not sure what type of glue that can be use.

So the screen is supposed to be glued to the frame? I saw some mix teardown and lcd replacement videos where the screen is not glued. You sure about that?
Yes i'm sure about it.
Just replaced the screen last week
Hello,
Thanks for enlightening us, can you share a screenshot and where you bought it from? Is it easy to replace without damaging internal parts and does it function as it was before? Is there a case than can protect it aganist drop cause mine broke in less than a feet.

Where did you get the screen from?
XIAOMI MI MIX 6.4inch LCD Display TP Tools Digitizer Frame Touch Screen Pannel full assembly

always better to get the screen with frame. Saves time and it's very hard to find good adhesive that will work like the one factory used.
Can you just replace the outer glass and not the whole lcd? just dropped my phone and now there's a huge scratch on the screen. The lcd and frame are good but there's a huge scratch on the screen which is annoying to me.
Over the weekend I dropped my mix 2s and have cracked the bottom of my screen glass.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and fixed this. I have purchased a new glass on eBay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/263620735738?ViewItem=&item=263620735738
I am planning to take it to a professional repair shop.
Is it likely that they will be able to separate the glass from the LCD and glue on this replacement? Is there any risk of this going wrong and my screen from acting weird afterwards?
No, it is in fact very unlikely they'll be able to separate them.
It will be more expensive but you'll have to get an lcd display and glass assembly all together.

According to this: Ali Express
LCD Only: If the image under the glass is broken and the touch panel is NOT then you only need an LCD.
Touch Panel aka Digitizer: If the top touch panel or aka glass top is cracked or broken but the image under it is fine then you only need the Touch Panel.
Complete Screen with Touch Panel and LCD: If the top touch panel is broken and the LCD image is either black liquid or cracked you need a complete screen.

According to that; If the glass is cracked, I only need the Digitizer replaced.
I am happy to get the whole thing, its just I have already ordered a Digitizer and thought this was all I needed. I could be wrong.
Any recommendation on the type of screen I should purchase for best results?

Hi i managed to change my whole lce by myself. Its quite hard only for heating the glue and opening everything. There is no guide on internet so i just follow mi mix 2 guide. I bought from aliexpress, 60 euro, claimed to be original, checked its JDI from cti app, and very good quality, color also very good, nothing weird, glass also oleophobic.
Any update on this? I'm in the same situation, front glass is cracked but phone otherwise fine. Replacement is only $10, but can just the glass even be replaced?
I just bought the whole LCD/Digitizer for $60, not even going to attempt to separate just the glass

Hey emanuel.caesar,
thanks for your helpful post. A few further questions from my side:
which lcd did you choose exactly? Are you still satisfied with the quality? And the last question Does the video guide for the Mi Mix 2 work for the Mi Mix 2s as well or are many things different? Thank you in advance for a short reply.
Hello,
Is not a good idea to try to just replace de LCD screen. I did this operation many times in the past and I can confirm that's a long operation (~1h30), there's a lot of risks that you break the digitizer and for a good result, you need LCD glue and a UV machine.
So, I think it's a better idea to replace all the screen: LCD + Digitizer.
Any suggested YouTube videos to replace the glass + LCD + digitizer?
Looking at a used phone with broken glass. It's like $10 for glass or $32 for the whole set and if I recall last time I had glass swapped it was like $60 labor and no guarantee the LCD wouldn't break. I'm pretty technical have repaired plenty of phones Android and iPhone. Anyone have a good link for removing the LCD / digitizer / glass unit? Is this like the Samsung where you need to use a blow dryer to heat the adhesive to get it off? Or like an iPhone where you just take screws out and pry the panel out? Much appreciated
I have had my Galaxy S7's Front Glass replacement damaged heavily on a rate of 7/10. While the whole display still responds to touch inputs, the damaged glass atop the front cam ruins the quality of the photo. I went to several (non-samsung partner) repair centers and asked if they replace just the Front Glass and not including the AMOLED screen. All of them says that they'd have a complete replacement which includes the Glass, Digitizer, and LCD (doesn't S7 use AMOLED Display?) rather than just the Glass and asks me for about $110 - $160 for the fee.
I'm planning to visit a Samsung Galaxy Concept Store on our Local Mall to ask if they'd tell the same but i first have 3 questions:
1. Is it really not possible to just replace the Front Glass of the Screen without replacing the AMOLED Display? Because i'm planning to buy the parts online if i'd go for the cheaper alternative s i doubt it'd be a Gorilla Glass.
2. Doesn't Galaxy S7 use an AMOLED Screen and not an LCD one? i keep on reading that S7 uses LCD over AMOLED. or maybe it was LED not LCD, i'm confused.
3. If S7 does use AMOLED, is there a chance that the Non-Samsung Partner Repair Centers replace it with an LED Display?
Thank you everyone.
