I stupidly cracked my SGS2 glass and the service center guys are requesting 6000 INR to replace it :-(
Is there anyother way to manually do the same?
Will it deny my warranty?
What the hell you were doing with your phone you breake the gorilla glass.
sol- order the screen of sgs 2 on eBay or Google search it. and then go to any local phone repair shop I think that might help.don't know if this will void warranty.
If I helped you In any means hit thanks button.....
Im curious. Do you get money or something when someone hits the "Thanks" button

Try using the search button many post have been done on this
Pic of the broken glass please. And let us know how you cracked the Gorilla Glass.
You would have to replace the glass+screen assembly (as its glued together), its not very hard but means taking the whole phone apart.
I think the unit costs about £60~ (GBP) there is a thread on the forum with a howto about replacing it, and a model number you can google to find the part.

Try youtube a method, I'm sure there's something on there
And it probably will void your warranty
You cant do much. Either buy a replacement from eBay and get it repaired by someone, or buy a new phone..
Don't feel bad dude... *picks up his SGS2 with broken screen
I ordered a new screen off ebay for $100 shipped from Hong kong. I have it, just haven't replaced it yet.
I broke mine chopping wood with an axe and having the phone jammed against my pocket knife...
buying from ebay is cheaper, but u need to chage it yourself, y not pay 6000 INR
6,000.00 INR = 73.7767 GBP
Not too expensive to replace I think tbh
Do you have a link where can this be done
Thanks

This, for the price of the piece itself this is a minimal labour charge.
so it's 73.7767 GBP plus parts?
Am i right there

i see quite a few guys who expressed earth shattering shock. C'mon, do you think corning's gorilla glass is invincible? Oh please, remember that the hardness of the glass does not come at a price. In science, hardness is defined as the ability to scratch another material. What corning has done in its proprietary treatment, is to increase the hardness rating of the glass but in return, the brittleness of the glass goes up a few notches.
my sympathies goes to the OP. try finding a touchscreen digitizer. it is essentially glass + touchscreen sensor + digitizer. dont bother changing the glass alone. i doubt if you sent your unit, the techs will change the glass alone. They probably change the touchscreen digitizer in its entirety as well.

well i dropped my phone for the first time today, and the screen broke. When i turn it on all i get is lines and a black screen.
i have had it for only 3 months but i didn't buy the warranty from att so they won't replace it.
i ordered it from amazon so if i switch phones i get hit with a 350 dollar fee
and if i cancel the line i get hit with att's ETF
i don't have enough money to replace it
is there anything i can do XDA?

You broke your LCD. Buy a new LCD+Digitizer kit
It's only when you don't buy the insurance that you drop and break your phones. It's happened to a lot of us, don't worry.
Totally agree.
Buy a kit and replace it.
how difficult is it to install the new screen?
also, its very strange. there is no physical damage visible on the screen, its only when the back light turns on that the cracks show.

I think you'd need both.
Personally, I would buy the screen only if you have time to spare. The Digitizer screen is made from gorilla glass so if you can't see any damage there may not be a problem. do you still get feedback if you touch any of the screen/buttons? If so only the LCD itself may have to be replaced.
If you are strapped for cash just replace the lcd because it is 100% done for. If that works you just saved 50 bucks. If the screen works after you replace it but you aren't getting any touch feedback then unfortunately you would have to buy a new digitizer screen, and I dont think that one is gorilla glass :/

i can't see any damage to the digitizer. i still get feedback when i unlock the phone (when i put my finger where the unlock bubble would be on the screen and slide it it vibrates)
Throwing it out there. Don't remove the orange triangle tape thingy. Ignore that part of the video. I didn't remove carefully and the phone no longer is responsive.

hi today my little cousin threw my razr maxx and when i pick it up the screen glass was broken..
however the touch and the lcd works 100% with no problems, even in the cracked areas...so the phone is 100% working, but the screen glass is broken...
there is a way to substitute only the screen glass?? or the screen glass + digitizer???
or i will have to change the screen glass + digitizer + lcd??
thanks
Same problem
Even i had the same problem
changing the front panel costs quite a bit ($200) which was not worth it as my phone was working 100%.
and my screen had not cracked externally on the touchscreen. had cracked only on the hardware buttons and the right corner just like yours.
so what i did was patched it up some silicon gel and covered the screen with a screen protector.
and the results have been quite satisfactory. :laugh:
use clear silicon gel and patch up your right top corner with a very thin layer

so its impossible to replace only the glass???
the glass and the lcd it´s just one piece???
sh*t... im going to sell it and buy the razr hd
Yeah from what i heard there is no way to replace only glass.
Only possibility is glass +digitizer.
But I am gonna keep my phone this way for the forseeable future. I still love it a lot

Yeah, that's true - the whole front panel has to be replaced (lcd + glass + digitizer).
No insurance?
If you don't have insurance like me, you have to get the entire screen+digitalizer replaced. It took me an hour, but it's really not that difficult.

razr maxx with screen cracked, but 100% working, touch and lcd 100% working, used, unlocked, in the box, charger, usb, original motorola hdmi, invoice with warranty in germany till 07.09.2013

i saw this and i want to buy it, but it says for the razr xt910
this will fit the razr maxx too? or the front piece have different size???
thanks
well it isnt fake that the digitizer cant be separated from the lcd!!!!
this is bull**** myth!!! of course that technicians and in the stores tell you that isnt possible, more easy for them, and they make more money!!!!
this pics were taken from a spanish mobiles forum, his nickname samsungnia
Also just as an FYI you can replace jsut the glass if your willing to spend a bit of time removing it.
the glass you can get off ebay ( i just bought some myself )
you head up the phone with a hairdryer being carful not to over heat it or you will kill the screen or
deform it and you dont want that.
then you carfully remove the glass and apply the new one .
Well after having my z ultra for a month I decided to go nearly case less (have the Incipio Watson case) using a thin case, I managed to crack the glass over the screen in my pocket which renders the entire phone useless. I do realize that it was my fault for going without a case and not being extremely careful. But now that this has happened to me I want to let you guys know the after effects. Like I said I only cracked the top layer glass but due to design the touch sensitive portion also is damaged. They sandwiched the glass, digitizer, and lcd together as one unit with the digitizer glued directly to the glass so once cracked the entire phone has to be disassembled and glass, digitizer, and lcd has to be replaced as a assembly ($250us). This is not a cheap repair and I've found one aftermarket online repair shop that's charging $300us to fix with no guarantees. And they don't say whether it will still be water proof after repair. I called Sony before they announced the phone here and they told me due to the fact that it isn't offered here they would have to send the phone to the country of origin for repair and it could take a month or two before it returns. And they didn't have a firm cost of repair but $189 normal phone cost. I think due to the thinness of the phone made it extremely fragile with super thin glass (which is how I think they managed the use of metals as stylus) covering the screen. So I recommend getting protection that adds rigidity and screen protection or getting added warranty coverage to the phone to avoid my bad luck.
If something goes wrong with my ultra I will run it over with my car and use my home insurance. 100$ and i get a new one. Here in Sweden it's called "bad luck" insurance

I wish I had waited and got the lte version and insurance but it was looking like they weren't gonna release the beast for America. I hope now it'll be a quick turn around fix now tho. But considering getting the lte version with insurance.
Did you crack it from pocket pressure or something hit it? Was your phone screen facing outwards?
u misses out the most important thing ppl came to this kinda of post to see
everything u said was aleady clear by your title

Just to let you know, while looking on the brando site, I noticed they had Z ultra replacement screens for $150.... Don't know their quality, etc... but I did see them...
I only have a Skinomi clear skin on mine. Front pocket, back pocket daily phone. Even the hood of my car dropped on it while using it doing a repair. No issues here pretty tough. Although I was sure I cracked it after that incident.
Yeah, I'm on the same boat.. How tf did it break?

Had it in the pocket screen faced towards my leg in a squatted position (wasn't thinking and frustrated at the same time from work) and cracked it from pressure/flexing presumably since all cracks stem from single crack at edge. What's crazy is that it seems to still be cracking even though im not using it. Have pictures in tow.
Did you squat really low? or like sitting down position kind of squat? Did you feel the pressure on in your pocket?
I have the phone as well and I only have a gel case, but I'm always scared to sit down with it cause I feel a bit of pressure when I do.
I don't wear skinny jeans, just regular straight jeans.

Hello all,
Happy Holidays!
I bought my oneplus-x for few days. And it dropped from my pocket. The back glass is cracked. Any idea on whether is warranty covered? Seriously, i doubt so. Any idea on the repair cost?
By the way, i bought it from Lazada Singapore. In Singapore, we can buy OnePlus 2 and X directly without invite. Lazada is the authorized dealer.
Dayum bro that's why there are cases available :<
Put a dbrand skin on its not worth the cost of repairing.

The Singapore Oneplus Service Center is checking on the cost. But i suspect its around sgd100 to sgd150. The phone cost me sgd440.
My crack is quite bad. I don't think the dbrand can really stick on the back completely
Thanks anyway for the suggestion.
I really hope i dont crack mine as the cost to send back to china for repair + postage i dont think it worth doing.

That is bad luck bro. But your right about the the use of a case, I ALWAYS use a case with my phones (no matter how cheap the device is), for me case + tempered glass screen protector is standard.
Hello.
Recently I have received this redmi note 3 smartphone. The tempered glass they provided was totally bad and didn't stick to the screen. Hence I tried often to press the glass using my thumb against the screen. Little did I know that I would end up with a long crack on the screen from the top earpiece to the recents button..
The screen is working normally as of now..
So I want to know if I have to replace the whole screen (Rs2500) or is there a part of the screen only that needs replacement (Rs x, x<2500) that will cost me lesser..

I personally buy 0.3 MM flexible tempered glass for Rs.30 and Regular tempered glass for Rs.20 for any smartphone. Somehow Indirectly i belong to the same market, 2 years back for a shopkeeper tempered glass used to cost Rs.27 per piece which they sold for 150-400, but now that cost is reduced to Rs.15(Regular) - Rs.25(0.3mm,0.2mm) per piece.. which is sold by shopkeeper for 100-500. But in same market any random customer get any tempered for Rs.50. Dude.. stop buying everything online.. every city has a Major Mobile Repairing and Accessories market.. just have a walk through it. It is the same Tempered glass which you guys buy for 200-300 Same level of anti-scratch hardness(level 6 on Moh scale of Hardness)

my personal advice will be dont go online for combo.. if anything comes out wrong.. your money and time both will be wasted.. If you can spend 2500 then surely go for Service centre, 2500 totally worth.. but if you dont wanna spend that much then go to Mobile repairing market.. get it replaced there.. if anything comes wrong then you can have replacement at the spot. I just asked my friend and he told that there are two quality available.. Rs.1480 and Rs.1700.. 1480 one is quite thicker than original.

I did not buy it online. I've visited several shops and they flat out deny to apply it if you bargain below 130. They'll just tell you to buy from some other place. You must be fairly lucky to have such cheap tempered glasses in your area. That isn't the case here.

Well in that case, find out the wholesale market from where those shopkeepers do buy stuffs, just go to that market, enter any new shop, tell them you are shopkeeper with confidence.. buy 5 tempered glass for Rs.100. keep rest for future. Area doesnt matter dude.. its same story everywhere.. every part of India buy these stuffs from Delhi only.
