If you search for "rezound screen replacement" on YouTube there's quite a few step by step videos.

Used one of the youtube vids for dis-assembly. Re-assembly is basically just the same steps in reverse. The most difficult part was lining up the placement of the digitizer on the LCD. If you don't get this right, the screen will not fit properly. I had to somewhat set the pieces together all in place loosely to get the alignment right (lcd sitting in the slot with the digitizer somewhat in place in the front bezel), and then take them apart and secure them together better to ensure a proper fit if that makes sense. My first try - lining thing up by eye - was not quite right. I used some 3M 2mm adhesive I ordered along with the tools. Taking the digitizer off is a bear, it takes quite a bit of patience and a bit of force. Reseating the cables is also a pain, use the plastic pry tool to help reseat, and have LOTs of patience during the whole process. Make sure to give yourself a solid hour or more. I just broke my second screen today with a beer bottle of all things, so I'll have to redo this whole process here shortly. Also make sure the front of the LCD and back of the digitizer are very clean, and the adhesive is lined up properly and not blocking sensors. I didn't do this well, and have a slight bit of adhesive sticking out the bottom side about 1mm into the visible area of the LCD, and the back of the digitizer is noticeably "gunky" in the front camera region, which I think is also causing some issues I'm having with the front proximity sensor. Hopefully I'll do a better job this next time. Good luck!
Oh my Chad.... Lol
Definitely out of my skill.
...any recommendations of what type of phone repair shop I should look into? I went to an iPhone based, but "smartphone" capable repair shop and he definitely didn't know what to do. He said it would cost 70$ and that it would be risky...... Not something I'm about to shell out 70$ for especially when I already have the replacement screen

I've seen a couple places online that you can send your phone to and they'll replace the screen and ship it back to you within a few days. Never tried a site like that tho and could be kinda sketchy but that's an option. Also here in Albuquerque there are tons of Craigslist ads for screen replacement here in town so you could check your city's page and see what you find.
Sent from my Rezound using xda premium
I did this very thing last week successfully with no problems. Follow the repair video by repair universe on YouTube to the letter and you will do just fine. The key is to take your time and make sure the phone is heated enough with the hair dryer or heat gun to ensure that the adhesive comes apart smoothly. Take extra special precaution not to crack the LCD screen when removing the glass (digitizer) from it
If you're not willing to take the chance, you could always send it to me (for free) but I can't guarantee a flawless victory

I see what you did there...
If you decide to repair your screen yourself, there are also four transparent pieces of plastic that you need to put on the new screen.
They are for the capacitive buttons, so they redirect the light from the lights on the motherboard to the buttons.
Unless you don't want lights, of course. (I forgot to put them on mine lol, but I don't mind having no lights)
Also, when you put it back together, make sure to seal it very well on the outside so water doesn't get in and screw up the digitizer. You may have to use glue or something else as a sealant.
Every time it rains, my digitizer gets messed up from water getting in. (crossing my fingers for no permanent damage)

I'm not sure what it is, or if it's like a protectant layer that's wearing off.
But it's only in the lower half of the screen towards the middle.
It covers almost the whole bottom half, it looks like something splattered on it. But I can get it off with anything, I tried water, eyeglass cleaner, and Window cleaner.
It's really annoying I can feel the difference when I try to slide my finger across.
It's all fine when I clean it, it looks perfectly fine. But when I slide my thumb across is shows up.

It is actually the oil repellent(or something like that) coating, unfortunately, it is irreversible unless you get it painted again I guess, or replace the screen. your best bet is put on a screen protector.
This happened to BOTH of my previous android phones, Acer Liquid (happened really quickly because the screen is not very sensitive), Atrix (device too fast, so I browse the web on it too much so it has worn off too)
Moved on to HTC Amaze, I guess it is just the same, I better put a screen protector on first...
One question though, did you ever use screen protector? Both of my previous devices did, I wonder if they take a thin layer off when you peel them off....
Well I bought my phone used so I'm not sure.
The alcohol didn't work, so I'm pretty sure it's the coating...
Time to get a screen protector.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Well I can't really tell...
It almost acts like it's coming off, I can't really feel it anymore and I can only see it when I purposefully get my screen dirty. But it looks like something was smeared on it and half of it came off and it's in a hole bunch of little dots and globs.

On my second Note now. I exchanged the first one for a crack about an inch or two below the power button. The replacement has now developed a crack right at the power button.
So Samsung can say whatever they want about it not being a known issue - but it is an issue. Knock on wood ... my Note has never been dropped, I don't sit on it, and it's treated like it's a 5" piece of glass (which it is).
I got 3 cracks actually...one right on top of the speaker, one right where the power button is, and one right underneath the home button. Idk if these are really cosmetic flaws by Sammy...cos then again i ten to drop my phone all the time lol...Ofcourse it's always been in its folio leather wallet case so it shouldn't have hurt it that much.

Well, I'd resigned my fate to needing to replace my digitizer. Have a couple dead strips about 3/8 in wide, that go all the way across the screen. The first to appear is about 2/3 the way up, and the other near the bottom which came a week or so later. Soft keys work fine. Get crazy screen action periodically and freezes that can only be ended by screen off/unlock. Here is the strangeness though. Today the dead spots seemed to work, other than a hairline on either side of the dead spots. Noticed this when a city on my weather app loaded that was previously unaccessable (no rotation in app). Checked and confirmed dead spot anomaly with a multitouch utility. Anyway after a little use the full dead spots seem to be back. Any ideas as to what's up? Haven't heard of this happening. Could this be an indicator of a torn ribbon? Has anyone experienced this? Thanks.

Got My GS3 I9300 now so not using Atrix anymore (good thing too). Replaced digitizer myself and Atrix is like new. Not more than a couple days after the atrix repair was complete, my daughter got her 2 week old iphone stolen so I sent it to her to use. Some douchebag kid asked her to use her phone to call his mom and as soon as she gave it to him the [email protected]#!$%^ little piece of sh!t took off like the wind. Hope some day the little prick tries it on some olympic blackbelt with no conscience who then proceeds to slowly dismantles him piece by piece, or at least make his hands permanently unusable. Anyway the link I provided is a good source for atrix digitizers.
Thanks all and good luck!

It's really simple. You only need adhesive (glue, double-sided tape) if you're getting just the digitizer, without the frame. I wouldn't advise that since it can get messy. Other than that, you only have to pay attention to the rather short and fragile flat cable that connects it to the motherboard. Just follow the disassembly videos carefully and don't be lazy to remove extra components like the screen, even if it seems unnecessary. It might make all the diference in the world.
Hi ,
After i cracked my digitizer i tried to avoid from paying 300$ for fixing it.
I ordered "OEM HTC Droid DNA LCD Screen and Digitizer Assembly with Front Housing" - all the parts are already in one unit and factory glued (Digitizer, LCD and Front Housing)
Making the job less complex - no need to glue anything
btw
I did the order from http://www.etradesupply.com - very fast shipping and great service .
now few tips :
1. very hard to open the back cover of the phone in the first time ( it's glued to the loud speaker - need to be patient ).
2. there are 3 antenna cables : 1 of the wireless , and 2 of the camera flash i think - be very gentle to them, they are very sensitive.
3. Remember to remove the "Ear Speaker" from your old phone - it's not part of the new screen ( I forgot it and needed to reopen my phone )
4. Have fun !
If you have questions, i will more then happy to answer :good:
btw #2
If someone want my old parts (Cracked digitizer - fully working, fully working LCD screen and my old front housing - PM me , will discuss on good price to both of as.
Thanks for the post. I just cracked my screen last week and looking at different ways to fix it.
Does anyone know if they have this same part in white for sale anywhere? I want a white screen on my DNA but all I have been able to find are ones that don't come with the earpiece.
Saw on ebay.. but it without the housing..only digitzer and lcd

If you planning to buy the same part as i did, it's more easy.
Basic exp with tools suppose to be enough from my point of view.
Regarding the time, it's took me 2 hours - i had to open the phone again, cuz i forgot to place the ear speaker
For the adverse effects:
Back cover - not loose at all, it's connected with hhard plastic clips.
Volume rockers and power bottom - working as before.
One issue that i found, is the charging led, i forgot to takw it out from my old housing

I also agree the OP has a very misleading title for this post. It sounds like they are saying they separated their glass from the LCD and reused it. This is not the case. Not only did the OP replace the digitizer and the LCD but they also replaced the housing.

Now I'm confused. I thought the digitizer was fused to the glass, but the LCD is a separate part. I see plenty of eBay listings for the glass+digitizer(with soft keys). You're saying if one were to buy that they'd have to glue it to the LCD? I'm skeptical that these 3rd party Chinese products actually use gorilla glass 2 and the same highly sensitive digitizer as HTC's, including the 5" 1080p LCD would make me even more nervous about quality.

Here is a good price on a replacement screen http://www.amazon.com/Black-Samsung-Galaxy-Replacement-Screen/dp/B00HDAPL68 and this is a good video on how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMEeWEbtqcU I would watch the video a couple of times first. Or take it to Sprint corporate store they will usually do it while you wait, and may or may not charge you. Good Luck !!!

I cracked my outer screen. The digitizer seems to be fine but If I plan to sell it, it's gotta be fixed beforehand.
Anyone got a breakdown for what I can do to fix this myself?

Yeah I did this and it worked fine just go slow when taking off the old screen heat it with a hair dryer as you peel it off and clean it real good after b4 install of the new screen try to find some kind of glue that may come with the new screen cuz after I did mine the first time it worked fine but the touch response was a lil slower then b4. But still way cheaper then sending it out for repair.
I'm mainly concerned about the glass itself, having connectors or ribbons that need solder

Look around in your city....like in Phoenix here there are a couple cell phone fix stores that will replace glass for like 20 bucks.... Well worth it for me not having to do it ...

The glass itself only has the bottom connectors for the back, menu and home .If you decide to install yourself just take your time and go slow and you'll be fine. Like the jimzweb1 said there are a number of youtube videos that will walk you though. http://youtu.be/S_BadHtLPbU How to Separate Glass Only on Galaxy Note 3!: http://youtu.be/HwrSdrySqec Hope these help a bit.
If you have insurance through Sprint, take it in, there is no deductible for just replacing the glass.
