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!

Hi,
Does Samsung Galaxy Ace has Gorilla Glass.? On corning site they have mentioned it has Gorilla Glass, but anyone here can confirm it. Have any users scratched their screen? or any other experiences to share? Any using a scratch guard?
I got quite a few little scratches, not a big problem, but for me "scratch-resistant" is something else
i have a very tiny scratch about 0.5cm on my screen and i am not using any screen protector. Got to find one soon.
I suggest to use an anti-fingermark screen protector for SGA.
Yes, it has. Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv4Llv3UedY
One of mine has deep scratches. So I dont belive its gorillaglass or else gorillaglass is not so different
Yes it does. Check Gsmarena.com if you want to confirm.
Yes it's gorilla glass. My phone has no protection and for over a month with my keys and pens inside my bag, it still has no scratch.

Well.. Thanks for your views.. I just a new Samsung Galaxy Ace yesterday, to be on a safer side I am using Screen Guard
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.

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 .
jje
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

Yeah but sometimes touch digitizer is glued to the glass so I just wanted to find out if this is the case.
Send it to samsung?? no thanks they propably cherge me a fortune
Stupid question. Replaced plenty of screens before. My sister has a Verizon gs4. Cracked screen yesterday and over nighted a digitizer without my help. Lol. Its for i9500. Which is international version. I am assuming this will not work with the Verizon us model? Thanks.

I can help
I work at a cell phone repair shop. The digitizer runs through the LCD on most newer Samsung phones, so did you buy a LCD/glass combination piece or did you buy just the glass lens?
would really like to know how this goes. I have a glass screen protector which I have cracked, hopefully just the procter and not the screen itself. haha either way let me know how this turns out
Just the digitizer. Her LCD is fine.

on the s4 all carriers the digitizer is fused to the lcd the outer glass has nothing to do with touch.
the outer glass just protects everything no connections at all so its not like the older phones.
google youtube the glass lcd digitizer repair.
I had to fix mine

In fact, the LCD screen and digitizer can be used all the models and only the frame under the screen is different.
Thanks. I figured that out. Never changed just the glass before. Always been digitizer. It was kinda nice. If you leave adhesive on LCD. Just heat up rub off and clean with water and windex mix. Worked great for me in a pinch.

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)
