Hi,
I've managed to smash the screen of my U12+. The LCD is fine and the touch works fine as well.
I see I can get a glass replacement with out LCD/touch, how hard is it to remove the glass and adhesive? I also don't know if the replacement comes with a adhesive? The aliexpress listing doesn't state whether it does or not.
Thanks,

I just did mine and it turned out great. I actually had to replace the display and the back. Both were cracked.. Watch this video and get that same adhesive.

I just want a new glass. My digitizer works perfect so anyway I can just get the glass? I don't wanna spend 200 bucks for a screen and a digitizer. I just want a new glass. Is it possible?
I haven't seen them separately. Not sure though

I haven't seen just the class but you could buy one with a fried digitizer and then just use a heat gun to remove the glass.
Eating Kitty's in my Skyrocket fueled by CM9
I sent mine in to Samsung and they replaced the glass/digitizer for $145.00
I suspect they sent me a whole new phone tho.
Found just the glass on ebay for $20
Ok, so I found the glass only as well but am not sure if that can be replaced without buying a digitizer too. I have a couple deep scratches but nothing is cracked. I just want to replace the glass. Can this be done? Is it glued to the digitizer? I have not been able to find a "How to" showing just replacing the glass.
Thanks for any info.

I replaced with $15 glass from ebay. I used a hair dryer. The whole glass is glued to the display, so it took several hours. Maybe a heat gun would work better. I also chipped a polarized sheet that was between the display and the glass. Touch screen still works, but not as well as it did because of the slight space between screen and glass, if I squeeze it down again and turn the screen off and back on it works fine for a little. Probably would use better glue or something next time.
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.
Cracked the glass on my Photon Q, so I ordered the replacement screen a few minutes ago. From reading reviews it looks like you need a special adhesive tape. Searching online for PQ screen adhesive I've only found listings on eBay from China. Anyone know where I can buy this from a US seller? Don't want to wait weeks for tape to fix my phone.
Thanks

Guess it wasn't.. Well it's crap now. Replaced the digitizer then went test. Touch input worked but ear speaker didn't WTH. Took it all apart and made sure the ear speaker was properly mounted, went to test again... Touch and power isn't working WTF. Took it all apart, cleaned the digitizer and made sure all ribbons were snug... Same result!
So I gave up. I'll have to get a new Photon since there's no new qwerty androids or jolla phones.
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
Hello, my smartphone's screen is cracked and the repair is expensive. If I remove the glass screen and leave the lcd screen only will the touchscreen work? Will I be able to use it as a daily driver?

Lol, maybe, but even "if" it still worked, the moisture from the air, the oils from your fingers and everything that is transferred to your hands from everything else you touch, dust and particulates from the air would quickly kill it.
Buy a replacement glass that comes with the kit to change it, then find a YouTube video that shows how to disassemble your device and change the glass using the kit. You should be able to find an inexpensive replacement glass and kit and do it yourself, it will save you most of what the repair would be at a shop.
