Where can I get a screen assembly for low cost? I have a maxx sitting in my drawer that I wana fix for my GF, does anyone know a cheap place for a replacement (not just the grass I need the LCD too) or maybe since the screens are sealed, would a water damaged phone work?
New LCD plus screen costs abt $170

You won't know how to replace it your self, plus - the razr is one of the hardest phones when it comes to a full dismantle if you've cracked the LCD. I would say, send it to motorola

One of the hardest? It's actually really easy but you lose the water proof. The screen and digitizer is one piece making it a very easy replacement.
Try replacing a digitizer only on a nexus one or hd2 compared to them the razr is child's play

I would like to keep it water proof....can I purchase both pieces in tact?

If you want to keep it water proof and make sure it has gorilla glass send it to Motorola. If you try fixing it yourself, and something else gets broken, you've voided your warranty.
I sent a RAZR MAXX to Motorola to have a broken screen replaced. They "misplaced" the phone and couldn't find it. So they waived the repair cost. ($179) I did finally get my phone back, fixed. 11 days after they received it, good as new warranty intact.
Compared to a any other 4.3 device..i would say this is the hardest
Just wanna say the phone is not water proof its water resistant at best.

Like the title says I cracked the screen on my g2 and I want to know if I can just replace the digitizer or do I have to buy both the LCD and digitizer. Also is Samsung good at repairs and will they just repair it or give me a new phone?

Super glue. **** fixes everything!
OK good I was just making sure I could replace just the glass because so many other places say you have to do both the lcd and digitizer and Samsung charges 149 for that repair.

Is it nearly impossible to change just the glass because the digitizer and LCD and glued shut together. If you attempt to change the class, you will easily damage the LCD. I would try to find a broken phone on craiglist or eBay and use it for parts.
Good Luck!

I tried to replace just the top glass on an Infuse.......didn't work but changing the LCD/digitizer assembly was easy.
in a similar fix...
looking to find a used phone for parts (LCD) for the Galaxy S2 i777
just curious if these:
- i727 LCD (Skyrocket)
- i9100 LCD (Euro model i think)
would be compatible so i could broaden my search.
apologize in advance if the question is dumb
Hey guys...I recently cracked my screen...I get it to the service and they said I can't replace only the glass...So I planned to buy the glass and use the dryer method from youtube.Should I do this ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Unless you are really sure of what you are getting into, don't try it.
Its much easier to get the screen with the digitizer and the middle frame separate and get the 2 bottom buttons to fit all together rather than trying to glue the screen back on.
Even simpler to get the assembly all together which is about 150£. And then all you do is replace the motherboard to the new screen. Done in 2 minutes.
I have a 50$ budget for this.Can u send me some ebay links?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If you only have a 50$ then try the glass.
I have bought parts from etradesupply.com which will have all you need.
Hey fellow SGH-i777 users:
I cracked my screen a few weeks ago and I've been looking for a replacement. Nothing on eBay seems to be too decent plus they want 65%+ the cost of a new SGS2 for the screen and digitzer. Do any of you have a phone with a motherboard that gave up the ghost you'd be willing to sell me at a decent price?
I'm trying to hold on to this phone until something much better comes along (it sure as hell isn't the GS4) and I'd appreciate your help in keeping my older device trucking along.
Thanks!
I've seen them go cheap on Craig's list and ebay
Edit: I mean the phone with a cracked screen not the LCD and digitizer .
You can get a used screen for 90 or new for 120 On eBay. Buy a screen, unlock it and sell it on eBay for 160+ when you get a new phone

If you have "Iphone doctor" store in your area they'll fix it right around 100 dollars with a 90 day warranty

When I took my sons android there they told me they had replaced both when I picked it up and it only took an hour.

This hasn't been my experience; every place by me (Atlanta) won't touch my screen because it's Samsung and they all hate the way the screen is attached to the digitizer. So I've resigned myself to just dealing with it. It's only noticeable at certain angles, but it runs straight across the screen.

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

I bought the lcd and digitizer separate. Then realized I didn't have the adhesive to glue it all back together. Wish I went the whole front panel way..
Same here, I ended up buying the whole housing pre-assembled. Even when I third to glue it the slightest pull on the ribbon cable and part of the screen is unresponsive.

I've got a cracked screen and was thinking about doing this... Wanted to ask how much experience (if any) you had doing this kinda stuff and also how long it took you. Also did you see any adverse effects (such as loose back, volume rocker, etc) from doing this?

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

Hi
I got a white screen with red soft keys advertised for the 920e from eBay. Images here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44703091
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.
Great tips tho on removing parts.

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.

The LCD is a separate part, but I heard about how it is difficult separating the LCD from the glass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=fTqPqh0fNkQ#t=559 at 9 :17 starts to show the front coming off. When I did mine, as my glass was broken, there was no really saving the LCD.
I cant tell the difference between my replacement, from a USA seller, than the original LCD.

No doubt, but Can Not. That eBay listing has errors. It says the x920e in the listing but it can not be. That listing is for a back cover with an SD card. The x920d and the HTL21 have SD cards and a larger cut out on the top of the back cover. The x920e and the DNA have no cut outs are are a couple mms shorter than the other two. Now this one you can use. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290940405280
