Hey guys I'm from India.
I recently dropped my Lumia 920 and the screen is shattered. Everything works fine but the glass is broken.
How much should be the approximate replacement cost?
Thank you.
Regards,
Abhishek Sharma

Costs like 20 to 30 us dollars off of ebay.
Look for LCD + digitizer combos, those should be around 35 or so before shipping.
* I don't think it's possible to replace just the digitizer without damaging the LCD, so better get the combo kit that comes glued together.

Hi.. I have got a 2cm crack in the left button corner of my sgs3 screen and i am looking for replacement.
The shops here in Denmark charges like $400 witch is 1/3 of the price for the phone.
Can I buy cheaper some where?

Search for screen replacement and buy it. Then follow this guide on how disassemble your gs3.
The guide is on YouTube called "Samsung galaxy s3 disassembly & assembly drop test repair".
It is very easy and a lot cheaper.

Going to smaller phone repair shops could be cheaper. With popular phones such as the GS3, usually smaller repair centres keep a good amount of stock for spare parts.
I have found this :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300741057324&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
Can I buy that and use it?
I looks like I only have cracked the glass on top of the LCD. And NOT the LCD itself ?
The video for replace screen are showing the hole LCD including riband connectors. But in my case I only need the front glass.
With an Iphone the glass and screen part are glued together. Keep that in mind.

Seeing it coming from China, I don't think it will have the quality of the original part.. But for that price, maybe you can look. Good luck anyway..

Any help or adivce on where to look would be most appreciated.
Kindest regards

You are basically screwed. Mine had shattered and I ordered a new piece of glass for the front. The digitizer is stuck to the glass pretty damn good, I ended up having to order a new frame unit for 250.
I would just put a new screen protector on it and leave it.
You will only be looking at an expensive fix, screens for this phone cost a lot, wether you fix it your self or send it to Sammy and this is not covered by warranty.
The digitizer is the component that recognises touches and translates them to digital signals the phone understands.
I'm not sure about this phone but on my old one it was on top of the screen which I would also expect here.
If I was you I would send the phone to Sammy but I couldn't give you a price.

The screen and touch digitiser are bonded together like on iPhone and there's no third party screens yet so you either pay $250 or do without a screen.
Any had to replace theirs???
Any good sources just for the glass???
My lcd is fine
Thx

Thx for the link
Im just looking for the digitizer..not the lcd and all that
Was hoping to find someone that has actually ordered the glass and gone thru the process

Youre better off replacing both at the same time. Most phones have some sort of adhesive holding the glass and the digitizer together.
If you ship it next day tomorrow 2 motorola it's like 179 and whatever you pay for shipping 4 to 5 days turn around. I now love my otter box. The other box is good because the silicone never slips never falls

Disassembly of an Amoded display and digitizer isn't an easy job as well as correct assembly, especially for thin displays like the one that XT910 sports. I suggest you to order full display assembly for the best practice. However, you can buy the digitizer itself from ebay. Prices are about 50-80 $ !
I have worked on cell phones for years!!
Heat gun works wonders
I will try the ebay stuff maybe try Motorola and see what tgey will do
Again was just hoping to find somebody that has actually bought one before
Thx again guys

I broke mine after dropping it face first on the floor, and got quoted £250 plus postage, only to find that the company had finally received the screen only to find that it would only display green. So I told them to recycle it, it wasn't worth fixing it to wait another 2 weeks after waiting a month for it.
So just be careful whether the actual screen works or not.
Are there any good, thick protective screens that do not hamper the touch performance?
It doesn't matter how thick the screen is, it's still gonna break...I broke my Gorrilla Glassed Defy so had to stop putting it in jugs of beer until fixed it which was a bugger...great old pub trick.
Broke mine a few months ago and have been looking for parts sources since. It seems that the digitizer goes for around 180 to 200 $. But sending it to the repair service here in France costs a bit less. Go figure.
Anyway I'm actually waiting to see a good price on a used phone and will probably buy one and keep my old/broken phone for (other) parts. Or sell it on ebay.

My screen cracked from a simple 1 foot fall onto my drive way.-. Gorilla glass fails honestly. It was a brand new one too, just got it a few weeks prior because my other wouldn't update to ICS.

My wife's Razr Gorilla glass broke from a 1m fall. When she went to pick it up she also cut her finger in the broken glass, something that is surely an engineering problem. You might expect the phone to brake, but not to injure yourself. I contacted Moto and they changed the LCD for no charge, at least.
A friend was using a s3 when he dropped it.. Around less than a meter as well, he's really short.. Facing up.. The glass broke. So much for gorila glass.. At leastsamsung repaired his phone for free..

Bigger displays are easier to break no matter what kind of glass. Its simple physics

You cannot replace the digitizer alone. The digitizer and LCD and fused together, just like on the iPhone 4 and 4S, and the Galaxy S, S II, and S III phones. You can use a heatgun all you want (I also work in a cell phone repair shop), but you will end up destroying the LCD in the process anyway. The screens are often sold separately so that you can buy them individually, in case you drop your phone again it will be cheaper to repair the second time.
Gorilla glass is for scratch protection, if you drop it, it will crack. There is no getting around that.
Hi everyone,
Has anyone located a decent screen replacement source?
I cracked the glass of my beloved SGS2 over the weekend and was hoping to fix it for less than $180, at that price point I might as well cough up the extra $120 and get a Nexus 4 later this month.
Thanks!

Ebay has them starting at around $125 shipped.
Honestly, Samsung. Cracked my screen. Sent it to their repair center. New glass, digitizer, glass on the camera lens (which was only slightly worn), and a new bezel. Total price? $147.00 and that included shipping.
I wanted to know if the digitizer of the lumia 920 is fused with the LCD panel. I hate dust getting under the digitizer. Of not did they at least used nano coating for the splash guard? if someone knows I would greatly appreciate it. I'm getting this phone tomorrow.

I'm 99.999999999999% sure Nokia fused the two together. If the 800 and 900 have fused digitizer and LCD, why wouldn't the 920.
Most of the new phones coming out will have the two fused together to bring out 'better' picture quality.
