I am posting this thread because I have a samsung Vibrant that has the screen cracked. it looks to me that the lcd is good but the glass on the outside is bad i dont know if i have to replace the whole screen or digitizer if anyone can help.
Yesterday my glass cracked. I have found glass and digitizer on ebay (it says its original). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-...7?pt=Notebook_Komponenten&hash=item27d08b7e69
How hard is to change it? I have changed few S3 screens so I'm familiar with this kind of work...
Should I order this one or another one?
Hello. I have had a galaxy s3 with cracked glass and tried to replace it. I have seen many videos on youtube how to replace it. Basically people on these videos heat the screen and then remove the front glass easily, because the digitizer is glued to the lcd. But when I tried to remove it it came off quite easily, but only then I noticed that the digitizer was glued not to the lcd but to the front glass, so when i tried to remove front glass I accidentally broke the digitiser connector and somehow damaged the lcd. You can see photos here:

I would like to ask, do you know why the digitizer could have been glued to the front glass but not to the lcd? And why the lcd could have been damaged while removing front glass??
I would really wanna know the answer myself, as I ordered one that should have reached yesterday, but as they do not work on weekends, it will be here tommorow, and I don't wanna brake my display forever, especially because mine is not that damaged.
Any ideas?
my advice don't bother with a glass replacement. I HAVE TRIED TWICE and as the op said the digitizer is glued to the front glass. this has been the case with both the original screen and two replacement lcd/digitizer/glass assemblies that i personally took apart. each time the glass was fused to the digitizer . i used a heat gun and a laser thermometer and still i failed. I was successful replacing the whole screen assembly twice . but those cost about $130 from amazon,com. These replacements may seem at first like oem but the ones i got cracked very easily. they dont use the gorilla glass and the quality is not as good. one replacement was really bad in sunlight. could not see anything. after my screen cracked a third time i got a galaxy s 5 . and started using a case and screen protector.

Well... as far as i read replacing just the glass is a bit of a hit or miss with the chance that you have to just take the glass off without killing the panel. On my smashed N7 i just replaced the screen panel and glass as one piece but i dont know how it would work with the z4 and its waterproofness.
Hey buddies, The screen of my phone got breked. Touch is working. i can use the phone. Is there anyone who knows how to replace the LCD Screen glass and where to find the glass?
https://www.amazon.com/MOTOROLA-Mot...506525321&sr=8-12&keywords=moto+g4+plus+glass for the hard replacement but cheaper, OR
https://www.amazon.com/ePartSolution_OEM-Motorola-Digitizer-Assembly-Replacement/dp/B0713SWNFJ for more expensive but easier drop-in replacement
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yu7HpzQU2I shows how difficult it is to replace just the glass of the phone
Don't expect Gorilla Glass 3 like OEM but more like cheap glass so next drop, will break again.
