Hey everyone. I dropped my phone today......my brand new phone :'(
Screen fractured on the top, but the phone still works, touch screen is in tact, all functions still work like normal.
Question:
What do I need to buy now to replace the damaged screen, because I don't LIKE it!
I see that people are selling the outer glass screen lens like this, for $20ish
http://www.ebay.com/itm/U-For-Samsu...ltDomain_0&hash=item4d0314f1ff#ht_3326wt_1159
and then people are selling complete LCD with Digitizer (whatever that is) for $225
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-F...276?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35be08ef4c
The phone is working fine...it's just the glass. Which one do I have to get?
Thanks so much!

If the glass is glued to the digitizer, then why would so many people be selling the glass alone without the digitizer if there wasn't any use for it?

i accidentally let my HD fell on the ground one day when i get off my car..
when i picked it up i found that there's a crack on the screen, and the phone won't turn on until i pull out the battery and put it back
initially i thought it would be the damage to the LCD screen, but seeing the boot up screen i see no damage to the LCD, instead feels like there's a protection glass between the touch surface and the LCD screen... which is broken by now
is there any way to get it repaired? i'm living in China and i bought the HD from UK...
I think the part that you are looking for is the touch screen part. Try looking at ebay for some spare parts, maybe you can try to fix it yourself at home.
I am so sorry man. I can really feel you pain.
I would advice you to contact HTC directly and explain them the problem. I am sure they would get back to you with a solution.
Good Luck.

Hmm.. I thought the touchscreen shouldn't be usable if that's the touch screen part..? But it's still usable, just the crack is ugly on such an amazing device...
I don't think with my handwork I should try this myself disassembling my HD.. It would be stupid if I break something

Hmm, thanks mate.
Anyway, I was just wondering, if that glass is just for protection for such a enormous screen (I noticed Diamond don't have that class, you can see some waves on the LCD if you press hard enough; and at the same time mine broken but touchscreen still as sensitive as ever), maybe we can just customize some tempered glass like the iPhone screen and replace the original one?
It's a shame that it's so fragile, with the phone selling such a price. I could buy an LCD TV with the same price..
Any technicians can confirm what does that glass actually exists for?
You need something like this:

Yeah, it's with screen protector.. But I don't think there's any help with just a slice of plastic sticking on the screen..
Anyway, the problem is I dropped it while it's in the stock pouch, screen parallel with the ground... Kinda lying on the ground
I AM SOORY , i spesk very little english and I am so sorry man. I can really feel you pain.
i have same problem with the glass that between the most surface layer and the LCD screen.
what happen with you ? and where ?
glass also broker
My phone screen also cracked but it works fine (both the touch function and the screen as no LCD spillage), the only thing is the hairline cracks on the screen (it seems that there is a glass between the touch screen and the lcd screen - i sent it to service here in Greece and said they need 320 Euros to replace the screen and casing !!
I'm looking for the best alternative solution on EBAY but i'm confused.
Is this what i need?

Hi there!
I didn't put a screen protector on my TD2 -and over time it has become more scratched than expected. I'd like to replace the front display -I guess that is the one called the digitizer, or?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Touch-Screen-Di...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item4837633bd0
What are the chances for getting an original HTC at ebay?
Did anybody do this replacement with success?

No one?
check this out too!!!
more expensive and not a word about oem product!!!
So... oem digitizer with just 19$ .... hmmmm! don't know!!!!
Perhaps this guide can help you.
Hopefully it's not permanently attached to the LCD like the ATT Fuze is. I took my Fuze apart and destroyed the LCD while trying to install a new digitizer. Apparently they use some sort of extremely strong glue between the digitizer and LCD...
Hopefully not.. But I think it's only glued to the frame.. I don't really know what kind of glue to use for the new one though...

Sorry to tell you all that the Digitizer is permanently attached with LCD. I know this because I was drop my D2 and went to service center. They change to front cover (case) which was broken when droped. when I get it back they give me back my old front cover and I notice that the digitizer is stick with over part.....
When I ask the service's counter. They told me that they have to change the new digitizer because it come with whole part.. not saparated.
Sorry for my english....
Hi Guide144, you say that when you got the digitizer back it sticked with the 'over part'. To my ears that sounds like the FRAME and not the LCD? Are you sure that it's also attached to the LCD?

Sorry for lag of my understanding, Yes the digitizer is stick with front frame, not a LCD. In my case, I ask the service to change my front cover because it broke and they change the front cover + digitizer.... because it stick together.
Hope this would clear all out.
Hi guys,
i replaced today the broken digitizer of my topaz.
Got one for $60 from ebay, with a screen (i wasn't sure if it was a screen problem or digitizer so i got both.)
you need to unstick the old one from the housing and attach the new one. i didn't use extra glue/stick , since the old one was left on the casing.
cheers
Thanks mistral82cy! Thanks for sharing -now I feel a little more up to going ahead with the operation
Hi! Could you please tell me how much the service center charged you to get the new cover and digitizer installed?
I've to change mine, as well!
Thanks a lot
I would suggest finding the parts list for the phone and finding out exactly what digitizer is needed then buy one online from somewhere such as e-bay. I did this with my G1 replaced it myself and it worked wonderfully. Research before you buy otherwise you might end up buying the wrong one or a clone which doesnt work as well
I dun it myself, buying one digitizer from ebay, getting the old one out was a little tricky , but appart from that it was easy(and i had to do it again, as i dit not secure it properly and there was dust comming underneath the screen from the sides. Any questions you could ask, but it is pretty straight forward.
pistonripper changed his housing, so he would have also replaced his digitizer, so you might want to check with him

replace digitizer on your own!
Hello everyone!
My digitizer broke last week, because i droped my Diamond!
But don't worry I am a rookie in technical things and I managed it to replace my digitizer on my own.
Don't waste money on repair charge from repairshops! Ok... you loose your garantie but the Cellphone is allready old. The new HD2 is already available!
Just buy the digitizerscreen at ebay... i've paid 60 € and then use this manual:

Now it works like before.

HTC Pure Digitizer or LCD

It's a bit hard to see on the photos but if its new can you not return it? if not then you need to look closely between the digitizer and the screen and see if the damage is just the top layer or the screen, if it is the top layer then just replace your digitizer!

Seriously.
As always this site is a big help. Just ordered the items, and thanks to the guide I'm fairly confident I will pull it off. For me the bottom 2cm's of the screen have shifted about 1cm to the left somehow. The digitizer still works "perfectly" but it's kinda hard to hit the right buttons like that

I found several on ebay,

Did you remove the factory screen protector for some reason and not replace it? Or did your phone not come with a factory screen protector?

Hi, I recently changed my digitizer. Put on a black one on my white phone. They are all real, I have not seen any fakes around. I also bought mine off of ebay.
--duplicate--
I wish one of these ebay listings gave a part number or model number for the digitizer... for obvious reasons.

Is this digitizer is the same part i need to change when my screen gets cracked ?
The story is my phone fell down and the screen got cracked and kinda ink appeared around the line of crack..
I was really wandering which part to change since the touch was working fine..

Hey Mezo,
The digitizer is factory glued with the top glass and is considered one piece since you can't separate the two. The LCD is separate from the digitizer. If your LCD is cracked, then your display will be distorted with lines across the screen. If your top glass is cracked, then your digitizer will still work since the digitizer is not as fragile as the top glass. So the question is, is the top glass cracked? Is the LCD display cracked as well? I know your digitizer will still be functioning but you might want to consider buying a new one as for the cracks may be unappealing and annoying.
I simply broke the top glass and I did not like the crack spanning across my screen so I got myself a new one.
If your LCD is damaged then you need to buy a new LCD which is not cheap... (over $100).
@trojjanhorse
the top layer which i touch is functional, so that means i have broken the LCD ?
i appreciate if you have a look on them i attached some pic, i hope they are clear enough since i took them with 3mp cam
thanks for the help in advance, i don't know much about mobile displays

Most likely you have broken the LCD. When dark pixels appear like that, it usually means that you've directly struck the LCD itself and damaged that area.
It was a thin line at first then some Ink started to flow and became bigger the next day.
So its the LCD?
should I fix it at the service center or i can replace it myself?
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
You can, in theory, fix it yourself but it'll be a biatch of a job. Use the X10 undressing post to find out how to actually take it to bits...
Then put the new LCD in.
only issue is finding somewhere that sells them... I don't know if they're a generic 854x480 lcd or what so...
To change LCD is very simple, but to change the digitizer is suicide. You will need to get a new LCD. I would buy one off of ebay and install it myself. I've been fixing phones for 2 years now so I had my share of experience but it may be difficult for you. The black liquid is due to the fact that LCD stands for "Liquid" Crystal Display
Good luck.
Hi. I have a problem with a minor crack on the front glass near the "go back" button. (I've marked it with red line on this picture: http://i51.tinypic.com/10rpybl.jpg )
So my question is what is the cheapest way to fix it? I have been thinking about SGP Glass but I don't like how it looks, however if there is no option to replace just a front glass, I will consider it.
i have the same question,
Is it passable to separate outer glass and LCD ?
on ebay you can find only glass, no connectors, that means it should be passable to separate them, does anyone tried to do so?
I would like to know that also. Anybody has experience with that?
it is possible, i have the same problem...but ideally you should use a special tool to seperate the digitiser (the actual touchscreen bit) from the glass.
and you'll risk breaking your working touchscreen if it goes wrong..
if the screen functions and the crack isn't that big...and if you can't afford to go the whole way and replace the lot....i wouldn't bother (i'm not and i have a huge spider like crack all over my phone.)
I dont think so. Mostly the Touscreen is bound to the Display.
Watch this Video around 2:45. You will see that he nearly destroyes the glass.
watch?v=k6Y6an6D2P | sry can post any Urls yet
But i cant also explain to myself why there are only "glass" sold on ebay

hi everyone
to answer all your questions YES its possible but in-order to do so you'll have install a copy of the original glass which comes in full meaning the other half the your phone
this has happened to me, my phone slipped from my hand and fall to the floor the glass was shattered so i went to my friend a mobile phone reaper man and got the glass changed only and its was not that bad although there was no samsung logo i chose to install a glass copy because the price of the original is almost half the price of a new I9100
i hope this helps

That is exactly what I need to do.... Replace the glass only! I already have the glass but need to figure out how to replace it without damaging the digitizer.
Maybe your friend can help?
The whole glass/digitizer is very expensive!

This could affect the touch sensitivity badly. If the repair is too pricy for you, use a screen protector so you won't get cuts and save money for repair.

Hey all,
Unfortunately my phone dropped, it had a case (not a full one) and the glass shattered.
Screen and digitizer are working fine.
Does someone was able to only replace the glass+digitizer on this phone?
i have looked for a video/procedure but couldn't find one for the DNA. (Video anyone?)
I'm about to order the part but I am not sure if I should go for the digitizer only (50$) or for the LCD + digitizer (160$).
I have all the hand tools and the "hands" I'm just not sure if it is possible.

Why not just have htc replace? They do a good job....
In my experience, No. It is VERY VERY hard to separate the LCD and the digitizer. I was not successful on my first attempt and it ended up costing me double because I had to buy an entire front section, which is pricy. If you want to take a shot at it, I still have an HTC oem digitizer thats sitting here collecting dust. PM me.

Thanks for the offer.
I decided to take it to a repair shop in Cambridge, MA,
They said they can replace the glass only for 120$.
Where did you repair it eventually? How much did you pay for entire front section?
