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.

You mean that you now have 2 screen protectors ?
I was under the impression that it came with a screen protector already applied?

Correct. Its not a "shatter proof" sheet but a factory installed screen protector. There's an extra screen protector included on some markets.

Is that so? I heard that almost every Sony (Ericsson) device comes with the pre-applied shatter proof sheet and it takes some force to remove it. I might be wrong anyway.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
So is it worth putting the included screen protector on top of the fitted one or is that just overkill?

No need, the one that is already applied is more than enough. Just keep it as a spare.
I dont think the screen responds as good if you put another on top
Ok thanks for the input on this, just going to stick with the factory fitted one

Got mine from O2, UK. All I had was a cloudy screen film with descriptions on. I had to remove it to see the screen properly and applied the provided screen protector, and have two irritating bubbles! Would be nicer if they were all fixed on from factory. Although looking back at it, it seems like there is another layer below that - visible on left side only mainly because the screen protector isn't in perfect alignment. Bottom layer seems like it's thin piece of glass rather that plastic.
Anyone has the same as me?
I put it onto the sheet, and it works quite fine. Double protection

Has anyone removed the factory fitted protector? I generally don't use protection (hurr) and think this one just attracts more muck than anything. I've never had a problem with scratching screens so I'm not convinced it's necessary in my case.
So if anyone has removed it, is it glass? Is it difficult to remove? Was it a terrible idea?

got mine from o2 too. if you look really carefully after removing the sheet with the pictures on it you will see that there is already a protector already applied.

I pulled it off, it is not glass. It is more difficult to remove than a standard protector.

I bought a pretty expensive martin fields screen protector because I'm very scared to damage the display or ruin the quality with a cheap dealextreme screen protector.
Do you suggest I use the pre applied screen protector until there are scratches on it, pull it off with force and apply the martin fields on the glass or do i put on the martin fields screen protector straight on the pre applied one?
i heard that the pre applied one is not designed to be taken off... so i'm not really sure
Hi All,
I have dropped my phone several times and nothing never happened until yesterday when it fell out of my pocket. Now front glass has a nice crack near home button, is it possible to replace just the front glass like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-Glass-LCD-and-touch-screen-not-included-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-S-2-i9100-B-/280836834753?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item41632e05c1#ht_1897wt_1163
Or do I have to buy LCD+digitizer
no one knows?
If you used the search or a Google search or even read the previous posts with the same topic you might know .

If the the glass only cracked just change it. If the glass fixed with glue or sonething else just send it to samsung to replace it. XD

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

I do like it, was woried about the screen. didnt want to scratch it.
I will post picture when i get a camera to use.
Even with a brand new phone, i noticed tiny scratches ( you have to use a magnifying glass or slowly rotate it in the right light to see)
and phone has been no where near the insides of any pocket or un raised over any surface with my case. it hasn't seen a single touch or wipe.
some have called them surface stress scratches due to manufacturing.

anyone else?
Funny you mention it, my buddies camera was terrible, looked foggy and blurry...his lens is scratched really really badly. My camera works great, but when I looked it was also really badly scratched, we both use the same case too. It sucks that it picks up scratches so easily.

There's a few threads in this problem my lense has these marks in it. I can get a definitive answer if it actually affects photo quality. Mine seems to take pretty good photos

To be that badly scratched im not sure how gentle this use was lol,im using mine without a case from when i got it.And it only has 1 superfine minor scratch you can see only in certain angles if you put it directly to the sun.And it was there from when i got it.
yep big long scratch on my Verizon one.

Can't recall....Did that lens ship with protective plastic on it? If so, did you remove it? I literally just discovered I missed the plastic over the volume and power button, so I thought it might be a possibility.

Scratch that... Verizon wireless page says it is:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/device/smartphone/lg-g2
maybe the finish is different.. my D800 looks like it just came out of the box.. I don't use a case
My verizon one looks like crap. Looks cloudy due to abrasions. I am really good about not putting the phone in my pocket with keys and stuff. I don 't know but when I look in the light I see a worn looking spot that does not look right... like abrasion wear or something. I think it affects my picture quality. Don't think pictures are properly focused because of it.
