Hey guys, I accidentally dropped my SGA and the screen cracked. It's not THAT bad, but since it has Gorilla Glass I want to know if it's repairable or what. Tomorrow, I'm going over my carrier's attention center to see if there's anything they can do about it. Any thoughts?
They can replace it. Oddly gorilla glass is really scratch resistant but super brittle.

Aw man, are you serious? I thought it was unbreakable or something. And here I was going to make some tests on mine. Lmao thanks for the heads up xD
Ha ha. I hope they do fix it. 'Cause if not, I'm gonna buy a new smartphone. It wouldn't be the SGA, it had to be better. Anyway, back to topic, it seems like Gorilla Glass is TEH BRITTLE when it comes to falls. Just visit the Dell Streak forums, lol.

I've just replaced that on mine, took about 30 mins and cost me £11
I also found this place:
http://www.tvc-mall.com/user/product.asp?skey=samsung+galaxy+ace&type=all&btn_search=
With a lot of items for the SGA, included the digitizer. So it's only the digitizer I will need?
I ordered digitiser, housing and screen (as mine had been run over by a car!!!) only the digitiser and housing needed replacing (only cos the camera lens had been scratched) screen was 100% perfect once I took the digitiser off. Have replied to your message, good luck

My girlfriend scratched hers EASILY! She put it in her pocket and took her ring off and put it in the smae and got a scratch down the screen
Supposedly, he used this guide:

Anyone can confirm that is safe before I even try to do it?

This has been bought up before. Its not gorrila glass. Its a miss print on the site. They said they would change it but plainly they haven't.

Hey all,
The Gorilla Glass on my Streak cracked but the lcd underneath still works. I have a old Streak lcd where the lcd is broken but the glass is fine. Does anyone know if I can remove the glass from the old broken lcd and replace the cracked glass on the working LCD?
Does it have to glued down, will the digitized get frazzled if I try to take the glass off?
Thanks for your help.
You cannot separate the glass from the LCD. The glue used to put the two together is too strong to do that without damaging both digitizer and LCD.
yeah... it really takes skill to replace it though you need guts to do it...
That's what I figured, but it doesn't hurt to check.
Thanks guys!

It would be useful to know if in the mean time you experienced to remove glass from lcd. Do you did it?

Fell on floor.. got a big crack...
Can someone confirm what has happened..
I mean everything is working fine.. just there is crack on screen so perhaps only the glass above screen has cracked...
Can someone suggest what to do...
And someone from India what will the glass cost ???

Hi Pal!
The S2 glass will come with digitizer so you cant get the replacement glass alone. you have to get new Display which will come with glass. sorry pal...
here is the ebay link
and there is another option but i don't guarantee this DX.COM
once you got the replacement LCD follow this link for replacement

hi, i can share your pain because the same thing happened to me few weeks back! but sadly they jus dont replace the glass alone as pointed out by #ssnalugu. I got it repaired at a private samsung servicing store, it costed me around rs 9,500, he replaced the whole lcd panel, everything fine now
A Samsung service centre told me it will cost 6500rs
I am thinking to use it as it is for few weeks then buy a new phone...

Hello all,
Wanted to share this fix, i have not seen this here or anywhere else about removing hair and crap from the sticky tempered glass section.
I even called SPG about a fix. they told me i could send it in and buy another at a discount. yea ok...
Fix:
so i ended up running warm water over it,rubbed it with my fingures to remove the hair.
Then i shook it around to remove most of the water.
then i just placed the glass back on and squeegeed the water out. there were some bubbles, but after it rest for a bit i was able to squeegee it again and it was fine.
so this has worked for me and a friend without having to return it and get a new one.
hope this helps
Dino

Well if the glass is going to get replaced i guess they will replace the digitizer since if the glass is broken then the digitizer won't work anymore :/ d Damm gorilla glass 2 xd why thinner but if the screen still works then you don't need to replace the screen(Display)
