Hello!
I have a major problem, in the upper left corner of the screen, the glue is off and I would like to safely glue it back.
With each passing day, the glue is getting off the screen and a serious amount of dirt has went underneath the screen.
I have thought of way of gluing back the screen but I'm afraid if I'll damage the screen by applying the wrong type of glue.
The way I have thought is this:
Fill a syringe with glue and apply the correct amount of glue via the needle in the specified area
Any other way? What type of glue should I apply? An all purpose adhesive type? http://septanabp.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/uhu125.jpeg
anybody?
First clean the dirt under the screen with something soft.Then try to apply a glue.Be sure to not get any bubbles under it.

Is flippin impossible! After peeling it off the backing it promptly got a load of finger prints on which are impossible to get it out.
It says to fit using soapy water then to push it out with a credit very nervous about doing that as i don't want to get water down the speaker hole, or down the lip on the edge of the screen.
Anybody got any suggestions?

These are a real pain, i will tell you what i did.
1) Place a damp tissue firmly around a credit card
2) Peel a bit of the backing of the screen protector, near the speaker and camera side.
3) Line the exposed screen protector up with the phone, (this is tricky, as if it does not line exactly you will end up with air pockets)
4) Using the credit card with the tissue paper, slide it firmly from the top down to the bottom, ensuring that you pull the backing out as you go along.
If all goes well, then hopefully no air pockets.
They certainly are tricky but not impossible as my mate did a superb job on his - you can barely tell it's there!
I tried doing what he described but still it isn't perfect.
He said to use a spray bottle with soapy water (not too much soap)
Remove the backing & spray the underneath of the protector & let any excessive water drip off.
Then use a credit card to 'squeegee' the water out after you position the protector in place against the screen.
It looks bad for a day or two even once the bubbles are out but it improves.
It's true though, they should have made it about 0.3 mm less wide so it fits better on the screen.
dam.. those things are always triky!!
Clean everything spotless, then clean again.
Keep both protection films on (or just sticky side protection on).
Place on screen, and line it up.
Now scotch tape one end down.
Lift other end and peel backing off (sticky side that is against screen)
Pull about 1/3 down and fold it, on to itself.
Now stick it down. Start at center where the crease in the backing is.
Pull off scotch tape.
Pull backing off the rest of the way. Push on center and outward as you pull the crease down.
Perfect alignment !
Be careful scotch tape does not tear. Double thick to be safe. One let go on me trying to get backing started to peel.
As directions say, small bubbles that are just air and not lint will go away. Don't peel back unless it is lint.
Pull about 1/3 down and fold it, on to itself.
i dont understand that part,
btw pictures are greatly appreciated!

I have tried this and it does work. Another variation of this method is to tape the bottom (or top) and instead of pulling the protective plastic from the opposite end by way of folding, pull it from the same end as the tape and squeegee the air bubbles out as you go.
Much like this technique...

So thought I'd share this as I think I have figured out the best way to stick one on without bubbles!
Before anyone states that a screen protector is pointless because there already is one on blah blah, I disagree because I just like the reassurance that if the screen gets scratched it doesn't matter. Plus that preapplied screen protector is very good and well applied (obviously) so its a waste just to use that as a protector alone.
On my older phones I have always ended up scraping the screen protector because the bubbles annoy me so much, and they're a pain to apply. But with the XS I tried and got it perfect, thought it was just luck, but did it again and achieved a good result again.
First turn of the phone for 10 minutes (apparently the heat can cause bubbles) Wash your hands, clean a desk area and take your top of (wear a tshirt)
then clean the screen, its obviously but really clean it (I use a wet wipe and then dry it off with a clean cotton top) if you have the special cloth use this too.
Get a lamp and shine it on the screen check for any streak marks and polish these away until the screen is perfect. Blow gentle to remove any dust particles small hairs etc. I have found in the past that bubbles often have a hair in the middle of them which prevents the protector from not properly sticking.
Now the tricky bit, pull at the '1' tab to remove the protector sheet, but do this with that side facing downwards (so that any dirt in the air wont land on the sticky side) and lower it towards the screen.
Align the corners with THE TOP of the phone next to the sony logo and curve the protector so that the top of the protector touches the screen (the area around the speaker grill and logo. Double check that everything is aligned so it will fit perfectly when you lay down the rest of it. Don't worry about any bubbles here as they can be squeezed out easily (due to the speaker grill).
Now grab a card of some sort, my driving licence seems to work best and place it where the top of the screen protector has been applied. With the right hand keep holding the protector at the edge of it, and with your left hand firmly press down the card and slide towards the bottom of the phone. (be firm at this point don't worry the screen will be fine it can take this pressure!)
Slide all the way down and look at your job. hopefully there should be only a few bubbles around the edge, if there are ones in the centre then carefully peel it up and try again. (don't touch the sticky side obviously and make sure you don't touch the screen.
The bubbles around the edges and around the speaker grill can be squeezed out using the card. Go over it a few times and then pull the protector sheet '2' tab off. And there ya go a nicely applied screen protector!
I tried to be as detailed as possible but may post pictures later if people require them.
I've got a Galaxy S III (i9300) with a very shattered front glass. The display and digitizer works just fine though. Menu, back and home buttons too. Everything is working, i just need to replace the front glass. I've once replaced the whole front package (LCD, Glass, Digitizer) on a Galaxy S2 very successfully so i have some form of experience.
Will be my first time replacing only the front glass. Unfortunately i wont be able to put any LOCA there as i dont have any UV light. I do however some regular adhesive 2mm tape that i will put around the screen to prevent dust and stuff from coming in. Also i dont have a IR thermometer and i will be using a hair dryer. I know how hot it has to be by feeling it. I should almost not be able to hold my hands on the glass. It might take a very long time but if its possible to do it, im willing to try.
What i'm worried about is the glass shards that are in the middle of the screen. Most shards end at the edge of the screen so i can apply pressure there when im removing the shards. But the shards in the middle have all edges on the digitizer. I cannot apply any form of pressure towards the digitizer so im worried of how ill remove them. Also the left lower corner around the menu button is full with tiny shards. like 0.5mm-3mm shards. Im wondering what is the best way of removing them? BTW i still got the touch screen protection plastic on. It got bubbles now cuz of the cracks.
Here is a picture of how cracked it is. Its not exact but close enough. Paint is OP.
The black spot in bottom is where the glass is simply gone. It fell of after time. I put some tape over it to cover it up so nothing can fall in.
Any advice on how to remove these shards?
Very appreciated
If u guys can see at the side of the screen just between the middle body and the lcd screen there's a adhesive lining, when i was cleaning my phone i accidentally took out a bit portion of it, is it okay to leave it or should i get lcd adhesive and just paste the part with it? And is there's another layer of adhesive other than the outside part that i meantion earlier that keep the phone waterproof?
