[Q] Glass Lens Break - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi guys,
I have break the glass of my xt910 and i search to replace it.
On internet i found 2 type of replacement parts, one type with lcd/digitizer and glass lens for ~100$ and the other with just glass lens for ~30$.
My LCD and my digitizer work fine so i don't want to buy useless things but on video that i watch where a guy disassemble a razr. At the end, they have just the part with lcd/digitizer and glass lens and they don't go far away.
So i want to know if i can just buy a glass lens and replace just this part on my razr.
I post you a photo of my smartphone.
Thanks and sry for english this is not my native language.

I think you should get a Glass+Digitizer, its available in ebay from China sellers for around 85$. Because in most devices removing glass from digitizer will be a tough task!!

I see a tuto with a air dryer. For 70$ im ready to test this solution.
Thank you
Anyone else ?

Not sure if you went through with it, but I'd advise against it. I was about to do this with my old Razr and we backed out. The digitizer and screen are fuzed together so separating them is really difficult without cracking the actual screen (I've heard it's actually impossible).

[Q] Digitizer / Glass Top / Touchscreen replacement

I happen to smash the touchscreen glass. Everything is still working: touchscreen with multi-touch, the video screen is not damaged at all. It is just the top glass.
Any suggestions where to get the replacement and how to replace it?

Try Viewsonic customer service
or... buy another one and take the gla... nevermind.
So this confirms the answer to my post about whether it is plastic or glass? The Rain X poster said that screen was "plastic" but I thought it was glass....
Might be a slip of the keyboard. It sure pings like plastic. Maybe the original poster has a photo?

I should have used "plasticky" I don't know if the touch-panel substrate is polycarbonate or tempered glass/pyrex. My tooth test says probably some sort of glass but it's weirder than regular glass... sort of like a clear version of those unbreakable corel plates (tap your tooth onto the surface - you'll get what I mean). The plastic surface I was referring to in the Rain-X thread is the thin UV cured hard film surface that protects the flexible touch detection layers just below. Think of it as fancy thin clearcoat. I should have worded it more carefully (but it was the middle of the night and my brain had already shut down)
Broken glass
Here are some pictures pictures. There are some glass (ish?) particles under the screenprotecttor
Here are some more pictures of the broken glass
another batch of broken glass.
By the way Viewsonic was not able to help, nobody there was able to name any place to get the replacement screen to be installed myself or any service facility.
You can try to some chinese sites that sell zpad. They may also sell just the screen. I have seen some sites selling the screen for the gpad (the ipad clone) such as pandawill.com
Could not find any link to digitizer glass on pandawill.com or aliexpress .
Just for curiosity, how hard did the hit was; it would be intresting to know how durable our really g-pad are.
BTW: I am sorry about the screen.
I cracked my screen too... it's on the corner but it still works. But I rather get it repaired/replaced. I have yet to find any replacement screen online.. It's driving me nuts.
Go upstream
If VS can't help, try asking the integrator (Malata) or the touch-panel manufacturer (Sintek Photronics). Some contact info:
Malata: http://www.malata.com/en/Contactus.aspx
Sintek Photronics: http://www.sintek.com.tw/p1_8-english.htm
Not to durable.

I cracked my screen in the corner as well. I dropped the tab from about a foot onto a pillow, it fell off the pillow about an inch or two and the screen glass looks like I took a hammer to it. I could have been more careful for sure, but I have dropped electronics much, much harder and nothing. When it hit the floor I kept walking cause I thought it was nothing, when I looked at it in the morning it was FUBAR. If I can fix this I will certainly post details on how to fix it.
Touch screen
I broke mine too and got a replacement from Pandawill for $12, problem was the Post office managet to break it.
do you have a link to how/where you got the replacement screen?

[Q] Is it possible to replace front glass without replacing the whole screen?

Hi. I have a problem with a minor crack on the front glass near the "go back" button. (I've marked it with red line on this picture: http://i51.tinypic.com/10rpybl.jpg )
So my question is what is the cheapest way to fix it? I have been thinking about SGP Glass but I don't like how it looks, however if there is no option to replace just a front glass, I will consider it.
i have the same question,
Is it passable to separate outer glass and LCD ?
on ebay you can find only glass, no connectors, that means it should be passable to separate them, does anyone tried to do so?
I would like to know that also. Anybody has experience with that?
it is possible, i have the same problem...but ideally you should use a special tool to seperate the digitiser (the actual touchscreen bit) from the glass.
and you'll risk breaking your working touchscreen if it goes wrong..
if the screen functions and the crack isn't that big...and if you can't afford to go the whole way and replace the lot....i wouldn't bother (i'm not and i have a huge spider like crack all over my phone.)
I dont think so. Mostly the Touscreen is bound to the Display.
Watch this Video around 2:45. You will see that he nearly destroyes the glass.
watch?v=k6Y6an6D2P | sry can post any Urls yet
But i cant also explain to myself why there are only "glass" sold on ebay

hi everyone
to answer all your questions YES its possible but in-order to do so you'll have install a copy of the original glass which comes in full meaning the other half the your phone
this has happened to me, my phone slipped from my hand and fall to the floor the glass was shattered so i went to my friend a mobile phone reaper man and got the glass changed only and its was not that bad although there was no samsung logo i chose to install a glass copy because the price of the original is almost half the price of a new I9100
i hope this helps

That is exactly what I need to do.... Replace the glass only! I already have the glass but need to figure out how to replace it without damaging the digitizer.
Maybe your friend can help?
The whole glass/digitizer is very expensive!
Please help!

This could affect the touch sensitivity badly. If the repair is too pricy for you, use a screen protector so you won't get cuts and save money for repair.

cracked but working screen repair

So I bought a Vibrant in excellent condition on craigslist for $40 ... Except the screen glass is cracked.. the phone operates and touch input works just like it should just the glass on the front is broke and spiderwebbed most on the left side and some of the bottom.. I could use it as is and be somewhat satisfied but I noticed on Ebay you can get a new glass lens for $8.00 shipped.. these are from china. Just wanted to get some feedback on difficulty to replace and if anyone here has done this? I watched a vid on youtube but they are assuming the lcd/digitizer/glass needs replacing.. not just the glass. Anyway.. here's the link>>>

To replace just the glass its actually slightly harder than just replacing the digitizer. The steps are the same for the most part. You basically have to go through the extra step of detaching the lens using a heat gun and then attaching the new lens and reassembling everything.

There's a video how to for removing the lens on another galaxy s variant floating around, I'll post it if I can find it again.

cool.. if you could find it that'd be great.. the lens is gonna be here on tuesday.
removing glass.
I too, ordered the glass.I took apart my vibe and it's damned near impossible to remove the broken glass. I tried using a hairdryer ,but i didn't want to get it so hot that the digitizer gets roasted.Isn't there something that you can spray on,s it loosens it?
I have cracked working display too

Hi , I read your posts and I am hoping you may have found the vid that shows how to remove and separate the glass from the LCD, I have read a couple of posts elswhere stating that it can't be done, but I don't believe that is true. Any help or advice would be great. I have already replaced the SIM/MicroSD Card module so I have taken it apart and put it back together and it is pretty easy to do. But the separating of the glass/LCD has me wondering what I need to know as I have no idea what is in there, such as: glass, digitizer, LCD etc. is the digitizer a separate part from glass and LCD? geez I am wondering if I should have spent $90 on the assembly (don't have it at this time, I on disability and am broke so I thought I could try the glass only route) Well, if you could give me some direction or advice I'd appreciate it.:fingers-crossed:
DO NOT REMOVE JUST THE SCREEN. Me and my father did a lot of research on it because my screen is cracked. the company that assembles the glass has a special matching to put the glass and digitizer together. A digitizer pack is around 90 dollars and that is the easiest and safest way to replace the broken screen without harming the digitizer

[Q] Screen glass shattered, possible to replaced only the glass?

Hey all,
Unfortunately my phone dropped, it had a case (not a full one) and the glass shattered.
Screen and digitizer are working fine.
Does someone was able to only replace the glass+digitizer on this phone?
i have looked for a video/procedure but couldn't find one for the DNA. (Video anyone?)
I'm about to order the part but I am not sure if I should go for the digitizer only (50$) or for the LCD + digitizer (160$).
I have all the hand tools and the "hands" I'm just not sure if it is possible.

Why not just have htc replace? They do a good job....
In my experience, No. It is VERY VERY hard to separate the LCD and the digitizer. I was not successful on my first attempt and it ended up costing me double because I had to buy an entire front section, which is pricy. If you want to take a shot at it, I still have an HTC oem digitizer thats sitting here collecting dust. PM me.

Thanks for the offer.
I decided to take it to a repair shop in Cambridge, MA,
They said they can replace the glass only for 120$.
Where did you repair it eventually? How much did you pay for entire front section?

Where can I buy a replacement camera?

Hello, where can I find a replacement of the rear camera for the Moto G4 XT1622? I did'nt find anything searching on google...

Replacement Camera
I guess the only option available is Moto Service Centre. They replace genuine parts, but price is little high.

So why the genuine glass cover got scratches? I have personally ordered replacement glass from Amazon.in for about Rs. 400 and it is much better than stock glass.
If you want to spend more like Rs. 1200-1500 go for a service centre repair.
This one should fit you right

Cleaning glass with petrol with a bit rough cloth will solve the purpose easily....I did for mine....
It actually cleans the oleophobic coating...
Hello everyone,
I had the same problem of blurry camera it was caused due to scratches on the oleophobic coating on the camera lens.
I would not recommend you to replace lens (if u want u can get it on Amazon for around 200-250rs in India) as replacement lens might have the same problem of scratches after some time.
Instead I had used rust removal paste to get rid of scratches. After using it my camera is Crystal clear. Before that I had tried using pepsodent toothpaste it didn't work. I even tried sharp object to scrape the coating it didn't work. So the best solution to the problem is to use rust removal paste with tissue paper or cloth to rub over the lens within one minute all scratches disappear.
Hit the thanks if my solution worked for u.
