[Q] Has anyone bought a replacement screen yet?

I dropped my Moto G a few weeks into owning it and destroyed the front glass. First phone that I have broken the glass on and I was very disappointed.
Starting looking around at options of fixing it. Thought I would try just changing the glass since the screen was fine and the digitizer still worked. After watching several tutorials I decided that this was a bad idea. Thought about getting just the screen, but it still seemed like a lot of work.
Then I came across an entire replacement front housing HERE.
Has anyone bought something like this? It seems like it would be super easy to replace.

I do think it should be very easy to replace. You can find an even cheaper one here : http://www.ebay.com/itm/271508770936?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
As to changing only the glass, as you mentioned yourself it looks quite difficult indeed, since you need to separate the two layers. I wouldn't try it myself.

I have bought 2 so far, with the front housing.Those are the best option since they are super easy to replace, unlike the digitizer only (which is also harder to find).The 3rd option is glass+screen assembly but that is the same as replacing the digitizer itself so ye.Also the Moto G has its plastic around the glass sticking up a bit for protection, which makes the replacement of that xtra hard (you can literally ruin the frame even if you done that multiple times on different phones).Also you are safe of getting dust between the glass and the display (which is very annoying).
When you get digitizer+display+frame, you`re esentially saving yourself shidload of trouble and avoiding all that I've mentioned above.There are only 2 things you need to move on --> the earphone and the microphone (depends on the revision of the board).

How is the quality on those? I am not expecting it to be OEM of course. I wonder if these have gorilla glass

I just replaced a screen (glass, LCD, digitizer) and it was a breeze. I'm also very happy with the quality. Also added a protector just to be sure

The quality of the ones I bought is great.I'm not sure if the glass is Gorilla Glass but it feels like the original and the plastic is virtually the same.They could be OEM, cos they fit too damn good with everything else, although I (nor the seller) don't claim that they are.For the price (~40 usd) that I buy em for I'm totally satisified.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Ordered one of these about a week ago hoping for it to show up soon .
I'll make sure to update everyone when I get it and it is installed.

Well i got the screen in today and it looks identical. Sadly the tools that they provided are not the right Torx size for the phone.

Got the new screen installed after a trip to the store to get a Torx set. It looks and feels like the original one. Changing it out was incredibly easy as well.

Borken glass.

i just dropped my phone face first vs some slate tile. the glass screen is cracked like a web, but its fully functional. do i just need to replace the glass?
so would i just need to buy this ? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Google-Nexus...789?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item3f46962d65
and is there any downside to buying the really cheap one http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Front-Screen...261?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41856070a5 ?
and does anyone have any guides they can recommend to help me do this?
thanks for reading.

Unless you are a professional and/or have experience with separating glass that is fused to an LCD panel, it is likely you will break the entire thing trying to replace only the glass.
This is how you separate the glass from the LCD and put it back:

Unless you have the means and the skill to do that, you will have to replace the entire front panel of the device.

Screen replacement

Has anyone already buy a screen replacement foe your moto x play? I broke my screen a few days ago.. i've ordered the replacement on ebay and the seller says the design it's like the original.

Yeah I did and replaced it. What I noticed is that the glue on the very thin black frame that attaches to the screen does not go back on after you have taken it off with a heat gun. Also, be very careful while performing the step of separating the frame from the screen the frame breaks all too easy. Most repair guides don't show you that step as they show the part that has the frame attached to it. Another tip is make sure that you take your time removing the components while using the heat gun... Patience really does pay off. Good luck.

Yup thats what I did. It does feel the same and looks the same.

I also ordered the full kit including the frame.
The display is on par with the original one. Only problem with mine is that the screen glass isn't glued perfectly to the frame/display on both sides on top. You can see the lcd backlight shining through a bit if you view the device from the side.
Fixed it with a back cover ^^
The replacement process isn't that easy, you should have time and good light. A heat gun (or hair dryer) will help as you need to get the battery and the logic board unglued.
Another essential tool will be a high quality Torx T3 screwdriver. The little screws are quite sensible and the cheap china tools will do nothing but destroy them.
With a steady hand and a bit of luck it can be done. :good:
Edit: This video was quite helpful. It's in german but most of the video content speaks for itself.

can anyone suggest me which adhesive should i use for screen replacement[ouer glass only]. beter if anyone can provide me indian site links but any name suggestion will also work.

Bro let me tell u one thing, before buying this glass contact a repair shop and make sure that he will be able to replace it,
Replacing the glass is very tough job to do, it requires a lot of experience, you can even check videos on YouTube about changing the glass.
If the mechanic agrees and is sure he will be able to change glass then only try to buy it.
And don't try to change it by yourself at home cuzz it needs special equipment to replace it.
Good luck
Hit thanks if I helped you

and did u made it?
the linked vid above is for a moto x, no play, but guess its the same. anyone knows what kind of glue he is putting between the screen and digitizer?

yes bro the xplay will be same like that and don't do that yourself because the process should be done by a professional mechanic... i asked some mobile repairing shop and he said it will charge 1500 to change the glass so i decided to change it what about you?

I've replaced mine successfully.
Although it's "OEM", I have noticed quality issues.
The screen is very sensitive to pressure (Distorts when touching screen) and white spots towards the top of the display are noticeable under white pixels.
I believe something is pressing into thee back of my screen but I ain't touching it until I recieve my replacement earpiece.
Pretty modular phone, 3.5 jack, battery, NFC, earpiece and buttons are easily replaceable.
Just be very cautious when putting your phone back together, don't do what I did and just squeeze it all back together in a rush.

look at aliexpress, search "For Lenovo VIBE P2 P2c72 LCD Display".

Hello and thanks for the answers, with Aliexpress is very often only the display without frame, which it badly attaches as the frame has very thin and little surface to glue

I've already changed the display, everything is bundled, nothing needs to be glued.
P.S. The case is also sold, it is inexpensive ...

Yesterday my lenovo p2 had hard landing and front glass crunched. Although, LCD display and digitalizer are working just fine. I've found front glass on ebay for ~30$. Does anyone ever tried to replace only front glass in this model? Does anyone know if it's glued and if digitalizer is bundled with display module, or it's between glass and display?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the clue. I've just checked, and super amoled has integrated digitalizer, so there's hope that it's not the part of front glass. Although, there still possibility, that front glass is integrated part of whole display

I smashed touch panel and display itself, did claim yesterday and has been accepted for repair under Lloyds phone insurance included in silver package. Paid 50 pounds

Did you find a solution for this?
My P2 has cracked glass (like others, dropped from a few feet, glass completely shattered).
The LCD and digitizer are still working fine so a new glass should fix it but is it possible to only replace the glass or do you need the complete glass/digitizer/LCD module?
Thanks

Yes. I've read a lot about this and there's possibility to change only glass. Although it's extreamly riski to do so without proper tools and experience (almost certain to destroy super amoled display). So I've searched for a company who can do this, and found one in my country. They charge for it ~100$ and give 12 month of warranty. I've alredy send them my phone. Although due to shipment of new parts, I need to wait next two weeks for repair.

I have the same problem, there's an abundance of any other phone screen LCD compared to the one for the Lenovo P2. Are the screens getting discontinued for whatever reason?

Aliexpress should have it!

No stock on AliExpress, I have checked.
I can find a replacement glass only but I think the risk of damage to the current digitizer/amoled is high when removing the cracked glass.

Bump
Has anybody got a reliable source? There seems to be a global shortage of these bloody screens and besides the official Lenovo replacement costing 90% of the price of the phone, there are no other options available anywhere. Nothing on AliExpress, BangGood, Alibaba, eBay and anywhere else in my coutry.

for this reason i use a RIGGED CASE on my p2 eheheheheh
atm the screen is difficult to find!! better to use a nice cover......

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQd0zJc9YPA
Maybe you should ask uploader of this movie.

You can currently buy it on AliExpress for $189.99. However, you can buy the entire bloody phone on BangGood for $209.99.

Hi, I have broken my display and as I'm looking on AliExpress, there are displays for something like 20$. And then Lenovo P2 display 190$, WTF?
Do you know if there will be cheaper displays available? Personally, I'm pessimist :/

Glass Replacement

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
