hi guys!
I've broken the LCD from my Polaris.
I've already seen some nice walktroughs on how to replace it, but one question remains: Where should I get a decent screen, at a very decent price?
I've seen some on ebay for around 30€ which is a great price comparing to HTC's service that takes about 100€ for the whole replacement (considering the possible quality loss on alternative vendors, HTC might actually be the best choice?).
Have you got any recomendations for this?
Thanks.
LCD Screen or Digitizer screen?
If it's the Digitizer only you can find it for less on the ebay from HK or China..
if it's a complete package (Screen + Digitizer) I think 30 Euro is a very good price!
I was looking for a reputable, cheap, place to buy a replacement LCD+digitizer for my c6603 (black). I sat on it today and it totally broke. I have watched all of the repair videos -- so I am up-to-date on how to repair it. I just need to find a cheap screen replacement now so I can repair it.
Also, it was really awesome that I rooted the device and had usb mode enabled because it allowed me to use a VNC app to display the phone on my computer. That allowed me to still use the phone even with the screen broken.
FYI: I used a usb-otg and usb mouse to unlock the screen -- that was kind of a guessing game since the screen was so messed up I couldnt see anything... so I kinda had to guess where the mouse cursor was and just got lucky unlocking it so I could back it up.:laugh::good:
I dont really want to pay over $120 for the screen/digitizer, most places are $180+ but there are some that are cheaper. Just looking for some other opinions.
Thanks for the help!
You won't find any for that price.
The phone is still to new. It's not even that cheap on Ebay

Ok, so what is a reputable place I can get it then? And what price would I expect to pay?
Thanks!

Hi there, are you interested in a complete replacement for 160$ ? I have a black complete frame with battery, coax cable, back cover, screen+digitizer. You will just have to insert in it your motherboard and the two cameras. Tell me if you want to buy it. We'll do the transaction either on ebay or via paypal.

Okay topic may not be so clear, so let me explain.
My LG Nexus 5 has fell down to ground from about 3 meters and screen is cracked. I think it is only the glass because even on the worst crack touch screen works great there is no problem with touch screen, but the glass on it is cracked, however even frame had damages. Now I must buy exatcly this : http://www.amazon.com/Replacement-D...pebp=1440720620149&perid=1KKY5MEEXHDG1M4DWTH5
Because the other producs makes mu puke, I just can't trust them, you know, quality, dead pixels. I'm far away from the idea of buying another brand lcd screen. That link I've send is of the link original LG product. At least seller is LG.
But unfortunately I don't live in merica so amazon is very un-friendly website for non-merican fella.
I have around 100 order on aliexpress, that is a good shopping site too at least they send most of the producs with free shipping (of course product include shipping cost but amazon does not even send it to TURKEY ! they don't even let me afford the shipping cost amazon only says : this shipping address is invalid bla bla and some crap.) But there is so many fake sellers in aliexpress. I find a lcd screen which costs 52$, And I 've send a message about "if it is original or not" title was something like %100 Original LCD Screen for LG NEXUS 5 (for lg nexus 5 , not original lg lcd for lg nexus 5.....) my English might be bad, but not bad as to get scammed. And the answer was "original" well I'm definitely not satisfied that answer.
So just help me here, Nexus 5 is my love, it turns me on when I look her... But now she is ugly as pig Just help me to find original LG LCD screen with free or cheap shipping to TURKEY.
Regards, Thanks in advance
and forgive my damn poor english.
You could try checking some European Amazon websites such as Amazon UK, Amazon DE. They might be able to provide shipping (though it won't be free).
Thanks for reply,
And I've checked amazon UK. There weren't any lg brand LCD display. But in the amazon.de I've found one, which is seller was also LG, but cost is 95€!... I didn't even check shipping cost... Well brand new LG Nexus 5 is 260$....
I don't wanna end up in aliexpress which looking for another brand... Because I've already did it and feedbacks was terrible, first of all, almost all of them got screen with dead pixels. And most of them says there is a problem about corners, sensors...

LG is probably the only choice you'll have to be assured that it's genuine.
Just swapped mine out yesterday. Damn near perfect. Led is brighter, seems like its missing a filter or something under the glass. Light bleed was worse on my OEM lcd. $50 got me the lcd + assembly. My old assembly was cracked by all buttons and sim card. Win win. Www.gadgetfix.com

Hell yes ! I guess I gotta check for alternatives, because LG LCD is too expensive, so maybe others who changed their screen before can share their thoughts about whatever they bought. , There is still one more week to my payday, I will be looking for alternatives untill that day.
And the product you got in my list.

Well, here is another question which is really disturbing me. You know, original nexus 5 has 1920x1080 445ppi screen with Gorilla Glass 3, I really don't think there are any seller selling 445 ppi.. I'm over Gorilla, I can accept exceptions but Im afraid they gonna send me something like 300ppi , I've never been so confused for my entire life, because feedbacks are terrible.
And, that "LG" seller on amazon, turns out fake seller... Thanks to feedbacks...

If it's 1920x1080, then it's definitely 445PPI.
PPI depends ONLY on resolution and screen size. So if system reports full hd, then it's all good.
PPI = ( √(width² + height²) ) / screen size
PPI = ( √(1920² + 1080²) ) / 4.95 = 2203 / 4.95 = 445.0505
As for Gorilla, well this is kinda tricky, you never know if it has it when you are buying non-OEM screen assembly.
Here is what happened since then.
Then I had scracty screen. A month ago I have dropped my nexus 5 again and screen was totally gone. I had alike thread in reddit too and they suggested me to go with etradesupply. It was 50$ + 30$ shipping cost for me. Still, I could pay for my lovely N5, -because I knew If I wanted to go cheaper way, Actually there was 30$ products on aliexpress with some good feedback- long story short I got my screen from etradesupply It arrived in 3 day -that was horrible, It scared me a liitle bit than I said : This is where my 30$ went- came in great condition very good packing. Screen quality rocks but one problem! It drains almost 2 maybe 2.5 time more than the original one. Colors are perfect but I do not know what to do with this consuming problem. Other than that I would totally recommend the LCD I got.
I'm not sure why the LCD would drain the battery so quickly. I'd look for some other issue because I have replaced Nexus 5 screens using replacements from Aliexpress and none of them caused the battery to drain any faster than the original screen.
Hello i want to buy original (OEM) Nexus 4 LCD + Digitizer, Digitizer and Battery. There are so many replicas on internet but i want to buy original replacement parts please help me.
Hi! I'd like to buy an OEM screen assembled too.. But it seems so hard to find a good and reliable seller. All one I saw were selling screen with some issues with the LED notification part. And the OEM lcd on etradesupply has been out of stock for months. Besides I considered 140$ for a genuine one on lg spares.com as too high, when a lg g4 is about 350$ or 150 for a moto X (2nd generation). But I would prefer keep my nexus 4 which is still fully functional and whose screen size is rather perfect..
If someone has bought a great screen recently, please share us where do you buy it
Here is an european supplier of OEM parts:
http://stellatech.com/articles.php?cid=10618
And here is an asian one (the products marked "grade A" are the OEM ones):
http://www.etradesupply.com/lg/lg-n...reen-battery-parts/lg-nexus-4-e960-parts.html
Was gonna offer to sell you one but you can buy one here http://www.fonejoy.com/lg/nexus-4/l...-4-lcd-digitizer-touchscreen-acq86270901.html
I know these are 100% original, have used this company many times they only sell new, genuine parts.
Thanks for your suggetions
If you're on europe, or just don't mind to handle the shipping cost , this site is a good option and the parts don't look like some chinese copy.
At the prices mentionned on the websites given above (>=100euros) , better buy a used nexus 4.
Amazon is a pretty good place to go. Most of the other websites ship from China or HK and take forever. I had to get a battery and USB board, I got both from Amazon and they were both eligible for Prime, they both shipped from the USA too.
Anybody knows where to get an OEM digitizer + frame these days? Below 100$/€?

Hello, I broke the screen of my nexus 4 and I want to buy a new one.
On ebay I purchased a display digitizer + but it was of very poor quality affected by the "ghost touch." Now I want to buy a new one but do not know where to buy it.
Do you know if the store "parts4repair" in China is affidaibile?
Where can I buy without spending too much money? I live in Europe.
Thanks for the reply.
