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

Sweet! Glad you got it fixed. I'll take that over warranty costs any day. Where did you get the screen from?
Got it from gounlock.com

its not gorilla glass is how she broke it...No where on Samsungs site or Cornings site do they say the skyrocket has it, and in fact i have contacted both and have gotten this response via email from samsung
“Thank you for your inquiry.
The Samsung Skyrocket (SGH-I727) does not feature the Gorilla glass. However, we assure you that all the components of the phone passed the Samsung quality assurance test and have been tested to withstand multiple different conditions”
So, Im hearing some people post on forums that the Digitizer is glued to the Glass and is separable, meaning the repair will cost way less than paying for a whole new digitizer + LCD + Glass assembly.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
I have a nasty spider web break on my phone but can not afford to pay $160 when I paid $150 for the phone! (I know thats the contract price)

I don't think you can separate them and manage to reuse the circuitry, were talking less 1mm thick. I've replaced glass before, next time I'll probably send it to Sammy.

Replacing the glass is not too difficult if you know your way around computer hardware. What makes it a pain is how small all the connections and ribbon cable clasps are and ect.
Here's a link to a video tutorial on the Atrix to give you an idea of what you can expect. About an hour to replace.

I got a used S2 skyrocket off ebay. Only the outer glass is cracked.
I saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtiyU-RQUU0
Has anyone tried such a method and only changed the glass? (outer glass is cheap on ebay). Thx

Tried and failed... That is a nice video, but my understanding is that the Galaxy S II and III are different for repairs. The III you can replace just the top glass, but with the II it's easiest to replace the whole LCD and digitizer + glass. HTCs on the other hand have the top glass and digitizer as one replaceable unit.
I had this idea I could get the LCD lifted up and then use fishing line like floss to separate the glass and digitizer. But I didn't get that far. I didn't have enough heat and trying to remove the LCD, it busted. The OLED is like a brittle film and the adhesive used is crazy, so that method was doomed. I think if I had a different approach things might have gone better.
Now I have a worthless disassembled phone waiting on the prices of the whole LCD to come back down to sane levels. They were like $121,$131,$155, last check they're $200 on eBay. Makes me want to cuss!
I saw a video on YouTube where the top glass was busted open, not just cracked. I think it was a plain Galaxy S II. They used playing cards to dig in between the glass and digitizer layers. Then you clean off the digitizer and tape your new clean glass down and it would be fixed. I think if you could further break the top glass to pry it up and be able to dig in between the glass and the digitizer, that's how I would try to replace just the glass.
Ok, I dug in my web history and found the video I remembered: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=judy-izOmKk
So in the video they had their screen/digitizer/glass removed from their phone chassis. I wouldn't go that far fearing you'd break the LCD. You may not have to do more than removing the battery before you get started.
Another thing the Skyrocket top glass needs this double sided clear tape. I presume this is because the digitizer is separate from the top glass and needs to be connected right to the glass instead of just held on with the double sided tape on the edges alone. I imagine that that could work if you pressed extra hard on your touches, but I don't know. I found this tape from EtradeSupply.com - they have a Youtube video I watched over and over. But shipping to the states is $15, adding to the expense.
Hope this helps anybody.
me too
I did the same thing. I got the old glass seperated with a hair dryer, but messed up some of the amoled screen and the glass was never fully flush after the reglue.
Super Annoying. :/ ending up buying the new screen kit on ebay for like 120. :/
Repair Follow-up
Yeah, I was able to get a new housing and screen assembly for my Skyrocket and all is well now. My phone is like new.
I did find some newer repair videos that use the playing card trick for removing just the cracked glass.
Samsung nexus glass repair i9250 part 1 - YouTube
Samsung nexus glass repair i9250 part 2 - YouTube
Samsung Nexus glass replacement follow up - YouTube
The quick version is that he says stick the phone in the freezer for a couple of minutes, because that will weaken the digitizer glue/tape. Then use your card to dig the glue out, pushing it out of the edge of the glass in a slow, lengthy process. He had success this way on a similar phone. I read elsewhere that Goo Gone cleaner could be used to remove any adhesive residue from the digitizer.
One thing I would worry about with this process is air bubbles in the new digitizer tape, since this other video has an industrial vacuum pressure machine as part of the final assembly process of the screens.
LCD and Digitizer touch the production workshop/Enterprise Solutions - YouTube
Related is an issue of dust, since a spec of lint or dust will cause an air bubble, as I just discovered applying a screen protector onto my Skyrocket.
So this little "$15" repair can add up with the digitizer adhesive and buying the Goo Gone and rubber gloves (which I didn't even use) and all of the rest. Just going for the new display comparatively is easy.
ok so I dropped my one s and my screen quit working (its all black). It still registers when I touch it though (I can still unlock it and everything) does this mean I just need to replace the screen? Or could there be more to it than that? If you need more information just ask. Thanks in advance for your help!!!
EDIT: There's a crack in the screen from the drop. But it's so thin it's almost impossible to see.

I had the same issue. the easiest option is to buy the LCD/digitizer with the Glass, but the cost is around $120.
the cheaper option is for you to separate the glass for the LCD/digitizer yourself and just order the glass yourself $5
that's what I went and did and it didn't go so well for me, broke the LCD while taking the shattered glass off.

I have purchased this, as the LCD and touch are working fine. In your opinion, would a mobile technician be able to handle the procedure to separate the glass lens and replace it ?
I'm sure a technician can, but taking off the glued glass is a lengthy process.. took me 2 hours.

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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYG66MFuwcU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XevDmI5zpjw
Unless you have the means and the skill to do that, you will have to replace the entire front panel of the device.

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.

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......

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 :/
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.

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.
