Hi guys, yesterday I tried to split my broken glass from the lcd and I succeded with it. After this there was an uv loca gel left over the lcd and I used acetone to remove it.
But the problem is that also at the back of the LCD there was specific tape I think white scotch and black but unsure and she also fell off.
I tried to check if the display is still working and it's working. Just wondered about that tape or adhesive I don't know what is it and, is it so important to install a new one, before apply a new uv loca gel over the lcd.
The tape was between LCD and Copper, directly at the back of the lcd when used acetone it was sticky but removable, so I pull all of it, but display still works.
Thanks in advance,
Sorry for my bad English.

Hi Everyone,
I've searched and read a lot of posts but haven't found the answer I seek!!
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII, dropped it, and hence cracked screen. I bought a replacement kit as a DIY job and followed all instructions to replace the screen. However.. When I tried to glue down the replacement screen, there didn't seem to be enough glue left over on the edges to hold the screen down flat.
My question is:
What sort of glue is used on the SIII? I want to buy the same product, add some more glue and fix down the screen properly!!!
P.S I've read about the double sided tape alternative, tried it, problem is, it leaves a slight gap and the screen isn't as responsive as it should be.
Thanks in advance

When replacing my S4's lcd I also decided to replace the frame/chassis. I used double sidded 3mm tape around the edges so the glass would stick to the frame/chassis, though some of the tape has lost it's stickyness. The glass has somewhat lifted up (I can get my nail underneath and lift the glass, i'm unsure if the lcd lifts up too), the areas of which have lost their stick is around the top corners (mainly around where the LED is but i've noticed it along the whole top of the phone). I've tried lifting the glass slightly and putting some more tape underneath it which has not work, also, i've tried heating it up with a heat gun which also did not. I am contemplating using hot glue but a the time being I am still undecided if it will be effective.
Has anyone else face a problem similar to mine? If so how do you correct it? Does anyone have a solution or any tips? (please note that this device is not under warranty of any sort)
Hi, thank you for using XDA assist. The best place to ask is in your device specific forum. I'm not sure what version of the S4 you have so try one of these, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att or, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4

hello, i recently broke my z3's digitizer and a replacement is on its way, but i have some concerns, first of all, i noticed that there's a glue between my digitizer and my screen, i know how to remove it, i got some isopropynol , but i don't have the same glue used between the screen and the digitizer, will that be a problem ? i tried looking for it online but the only thing i was able to find is the adhesive stickers which i ordered.
has anyone did this before with their phone? i can barely find any useful videos that actually separated their digitizer from the screen .
There is only one type of glue that gives the best results and that is Loca Glue.
To change just the glass takes skill and patience, Lots of it.
Make sure u have the tools for the job. Demands a steady hand and the risk of cracking the lcd in the prosess is very high. I suggest a heatgun to make the process easier.
Good luck.
Hello, does anybody experiences in changing the Xperia E3 Digitizer Glass panel. Not the whole Display. Only the frontglass.
I didnt found any video or tutorial.
Maybe anybody knows a similar xperia device from where I can use its tutorial? Which xperia E devices have a similar the same kind of display assambley .
Any tip is welcome
thanks in advise
With phones that have the digitizer stuck onto the LCD, it isn't normally possible to replace one of the pieces without replacing the other. All those people selling just the glass on eBay and Amazon are just scams. However, if you have already bought a glass, just can try your luck by heating the screen with a hair dryer or a heat gun for a minute or two, then (with gloves, I learnt the hard way, REALLY hot) with a nylon string (the kind you use with fishing canes) slowly slide it back and forth in a corner between the LCD and and the glass, until you can remove the LCD easily. You may have to re-heat the screen several times. Now, there will be layer of glue on both the screen and the LCD. Try removing the glue. I can't tell you how, as I don't know how to. WARNING: Don't use alcohol or nail-polish remover to try to remove the glue, as it doesn't remove it well, and it damages the screen. Once that is done, you can try to somehow glue the LCD to the new screen. Once again, I can't tell you how as I don't know how to.
If you are successful, please write back saying how.

updates:
When I get the display from the frame, the copper left on the frame, perhaps biggest mistake?.
Maybe it could be the tape between the copper and LCD.
I just know that it's at the back side of the LCD without the copper.
