A friend of mine has an ATT Titan (phone says PI39100) with a cracked front glass. I was looking to purchase a new front lens/digitizer for her phone and do the replacement. Most of what I find online are for the x310e.
Long question short: is the front lens for the x310e the same exact one as for the PI39100? or are the two not compatible?
Also, if someone can point to a DIY for doing this I'd appreciate it - otherwise, i'll take on it the same as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 I did earlier this week (using a hair dryer and an exacto knife) I would like to at least know the lens is the same so I can order soon.
Thanks in advance.
The screens are the same. The only difference will be that the new screen will have the HTC-Brand name instead of AT&T. Is it just the glass cover that's broken or is the whole touch screen? You can either replace just the glass cover or the entire touch screen. At least that is what I understand because I've seen both parts offered separately.
Regarding the DIY replacement have a look here:

Excellent. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you VERY much for your assistance
Oh, and it's the glass cover that's broken, because she's still able to (and currently continues to) use the phone. On ebay, I've seen the glass and digitizer going for under $30 shipped, so I think it's reasonable enough.
Thanks again. :good:
Glad to help. That's we are all here for: help each other.

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?
Cheers
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!

Every single post of yours is a website promotion.
Chill.
Out.
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 happen to smash the touchscreen glass. Everything is still working: touchscreen with multi-touch, the video screen is not damaged at all. It is just the top glass.
Any suggestions where to get the replacement and how to replace it?

Try Viewsonic customer service
or... buy another one and take the gla... nevermind.
So this confirms the answer to my post about whether it is plastic or glass? The Rain X poster said that screen was "plastic" but I thought it was glass....
Might be a slip of the keyboard. It sure pings like plastic. Maybe the original poster has a photo?

I should have used "plasticky" I don't know if the touch-panel substrate is polycarbonate or tempered glass/pyrex. My tooth test says probably some sort of glass but it's weirder than regular glass... sort of like a clear version of those unbreakable corel plates (tap your tooth onto the surface - you'll get what I mean). The plastic surface I was referring to in the Rain-X thread is the thin UV cured hard film surface that protects the flexible touch detection layers just below. Think of it as fancy thin clearcoat. I should have worded it more carefully (but it was the middle of the night and my brain had already shut down)
Broken glass
Here are some pictures pictures. There are some glass (ish?) particles under the screenprotecttor
Here are some more pictures of the broken glass
another batch of broken glass.
By the way Viewsonic was not able to help, nobody there was able to name any place to get the replacement screen to be installed myself or any service facility.
You can try to some chinese sites that sell zpad. They may also sell just the screen. I have seen some sites selling the screen for the gpad (the ipad clone) such as pandawill.com
Could not find any link to digitizer glass on pandawill.com or aliexpress .
Just for curiosity, how hard did the hit was; it would be intresting to know how durable our really g-pad are.
BTW: I am sorry about the screen.
I cracked my screen too... it's on the corner but it still works. But I rather get it repaired/replaced. I have yet to find any replacement screen online.. It's driving me nuts.
Go upstream
If VS can't help, try asking the integrator (Malata) or the touch-panel manufacturer (Sintek Photronics). Some contact info:
Malata: http://www.malata.com/en/Contactus.aspx
Sintek Photronics: http://www.sintek.com.tw/p1_8-english.htm
Not to durable.

I cracked my screen in the corner as well. I dropped the tab from about a foot onto a pillow, it fell off the pillow about an inch or two and the screen glass looks like I took a hammer to it. I could have been more careful for sure, but I have dropped electronics much, much harder and nothing. When it hit the floor I kept walking cause I thought it was nothing, when I looked at it in the morning it was FUBAR. If I can fix this I will certainly post details on how to fix it.
Touch screen
I broke mine too and got a replacement from Pandawill for $12, problem was the Post office managet to break it.
do you have a link to how/where you got the replacement screen?

Thanks.

I need a replacement as well. I also looed at pandawill and only saw replacements for Ipad. PLEASE help me! Everything still works on mine but my glass incompletely shattered.
So... I failed, and the glass has one crack on it that stretches from one side of the screen to the other near the bottom. Most people wouldn't mind it, and it could in fact be taken as maybe just a worse than usual scratch. I care a lot about it though, and it bugs the living sh** outta me! >:O
I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a step by step manual screen replacement tutorial, or video of some sort. I would get it fixed by some third party store, except they're charging over like $200... And I can't get warranty from Rogers since I'm a Fido customer, and because it wasn't even bought directly from Rogers. Or maybe there's some other solution to fix the screen? Like I heard of that scratch filling screen, maybe that'll do something.
Thanks for your help!
Just fyi, on the Razr the glass and display are glued together making it impossible to replace just the glass.
Here's a tear-down of the phone:

i have a cracked screen and would like to do this.

Im also looking to find a way to defuse the two i have two RAZRs one with cracked glass one with cracked lcd wondering if i can make one with all the good parts and sell the other for parts but all ive heard is how to seperate the two but not how to place them together..
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?
Well finally broke my screen on my G3.. only appears that i broke the glass and not lcd/digitzer but from what I'm reading it's all sealed and not worth my time to try to separate?
I found this site that has LCD Screen and Digitizer Assembly with Front Housing (No Small Parts) for $89 which doesn't seem horrible. Just not sure what they mean by no small parts, I'm assuming they're referring to the cameras and motherboards.. Can anyone verify this is my best route? New to fixing phones, worked on plenty of small electronics just not a phone but I'm not near an upgrade and actually like this phone so replacing isn't an option.
Thanks for any help.. the broken section is causing my phone to do some wild things. =o/

No, do not waste your time attempting to separate the glass from the LCD, you WILL break the LCD.
You would come out a little bit cheaper ordering the glass and LCD assembly alone BUT it can be kind of a hassle sticking that part down.
Ordering it with the frame/housing is 100% how I recommend going about the screen repair for a G3 since it comes glued to the frame/housing... it's less of a hassle you'd have to worry about. Just transfer all of the internals to the new frame and you're golden.
However, I will recommend that you order the screen from the link I provided below... as the warranty on this screen will be good for 1 year, plus it's even a little cheaper. They are just currently back ordered until the 7th, but it's well worth it for a 1 year warranty.
Good luck.
