Hello,
I have been asked to fix a Galaxy S3 screen, the LCD is fine and responds to touch no problem.
How easy is it to replace just the glass on the top? Does it require heating at all?
Thanks

No, it's not easy. You must remove the glue between LCD screen and the glass using heating tool.
The risk is to break the AMOLED display panel.
Plenty of posts and a couple of guides on here .

thanks for warning but I removed it same minute I bought it, touch is more responsive now, and colors are a bit vivid, and no problems at all. Just be careful with your phone and nothing happens : ))
I have no screen protector and my screen works perfectly.
Just saying.
Edit:
Wait. By looking VERY closely at the edges of the glass, I notice there seems to be a small gap, and it looks there is some sort of layer on top of the glass. Is that a screen protector or is it part of the screen? It doesn't look like it can be removed actually.

There is a protector installed on the screen at the factory.
I removed mine and it still works perfectly if not better.
Use your brain people.

this isn't a problem by removing the screen protector
it can be everything except that
why not:
screen protector has almost nothing to do with touch (it decrease the touch sensivity) that's all
what can be the problem
phone became wet
phone became hot
hardware fault
and more except screen protector
Maybe there is some glue residue left from removing the protector making it less sensitive in different parts of the screen?
Screen only works when there's something between my finger and the screen!!!

I removed mine 3 months ago and I don't have any problems with touch screen.
I don't understand why people try to remove it, if it is preinstalled.
I always keep those on, until it become messy, then put the third party on, i just don't like leave the screen naked

I've never used a protector with any phone but I look after things. I removed the pre installed "protector" and have had no issues. If your clumsy leave it on.

Sadly I dropped my phone today and damaged the factory fitted protector (at least it was doing it's job!), peeled it off without issue and replaced it successfully!
The Terrapin replacement isn't quite as good but hopefully it'll do the job, and thankfully I didn't damage the screen whe I dropped it.
As I said it before, I don't think that Sony will bother to add that pre-installed screen protector and add cost if it is "useless"... but ofcourse, the choice is with us i.e. if want to take risk of removing it or listen to them...

Hello guys.
Got mine SGS3 as a present 2 weeks ago. At first I didn't notice this, but now it makes me wonder... Btw this is mine first touch screen and Android phone.
1. Friction between finger and screen oscilates. In one moment, it is super smooth, but in other there is some additional friction with different intensity. The screen is still usable, of course, but this issue is quite irritating. What is even worse, I just can't see any pattern in these screen changes. Even when I clean the screen with microfiber, wash and dry my hands, problem is still present sometimes.
2. Back cover. I noticed on 2 spots that plastics clicks everytime I touch it. Everything seems perfectly fit, except on those 2 tiny spots, although it is not noticable when you just look at it, just when you press it - it clicks. One spot is right besides camera flash and other above USB/charge cable slot. It doesn't bother me that much, I'm more interested if there are other people with similar issue.
I don't have receipt and the phone is bought in another country. Therefore, it is quite a problem for me to return it and ask for replacement. On the other hand, since it is quite expensive toy, it would be ridicilous not to claim it, unless this is "normal" (?!). I want to hear what you think and about your experience, just in case I'm doing something wrong and/or missing something obvious.
Thank you.

Bump.
1. It seems that I'm an idiot and those increased friction between my fingers and screen is caused by my sweaty hands/fingers. It is pretty humid and hot these days, so it's understandable. How can I solve this? What do you think - can screen protector help in my case?
2. Remains. Does your sgs3 plastics clicks time from time or it is perfectly fitted?
Thank you.

1) Put anti-fingerprint screen protector. You will have a bit blurry screen but should solved your issue.
2) Put a case on it and you are good to go
Else, get an exchange....
Enjoy

Thank you very much, Arsaw!
Do you or other sgs3 users have some recommendations for screen protector and case? Some specific model?

The far right edge of my touch screen isnt responding to my touch. I've called a few places looking to repair it and have been quoted $80-90. Is this a sign of a digitizer which shouldnt cost $90 to fix or the LCD display?
Is it just the keyboard or every app doesn't respond on that part of the screen?

Its that part of the screen. The far right side/edge of my screen isnt responsive. So digitizer or LCD? I can type the letter P in landscape only.
digitizer. Screen is just a display, digitizer recognizes any/all touch input.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301723
Didnt work for me, but it might just work for you.
Thanks. Maybe I'll replace the digitizer myself. How hard can it be?

Hi guys,
before and after Sony fixed my phone (due to the famous crack) i have difficulties with the touchscreen, random ghost clicks while it's not in a moisture environment whatsoever. I already changed the sensitivity to 5 instead of 2 but it didn't help (i have it now on 7 and i'm checking the symptoms now).
Am i currently the only one fighting this or are there more people with this?

That could do the trick indeed, then i am going to search for one with a oleophobic layer as the Z ultra lacks one (on the shatterproof sheet).
did you add one to prevent the twitchy touchscreen to mess around?

I would replace the screen cause your example of a phone is one of the worst you could of picked......which has bad malware issues along with lag (due to screen resolution) and overheating issues (due to screen resolution again) and max brightness is terrible
