You are wasting your time and money, also you will probably destroy your phone with heat during the 'easy' process.
Replacing the glass on the S3 is a nightmare, as the layers are all glued together. This is why repairers only swap the whole glass/digitiser/screen assembly.
what if i

I dropped my HTC Legend yesterday onto concrete, and now my screen is cracked. I've looked online to see if I could buy the part myself, and try and fix it myself as a local cell repair shop says it will cost 180$ to fix, for that price I'll just buy a brand new Legend and cut my losses with this one. Looking around online though, I'm unsure as to what I need to buy? I've found an LCD screen, or a digitizer... My touchscreen and all those functions work 100% all thats wrong is the glass is spiderwebbed pretty good. I'm thinking that I need the digitizer not the LCD screen? Or is there just a part thats just the glass? I'd post a picture of the phone, but I can't due to site restrictions.
I have cracked my SGS2 screen during a trip last week. While everything works, it looks kind of ugly, and I fear that if I attempt to replace my crumpled screen protector pieces of glass will fall over.
The rates for screen replacement run for roughly 100-150$, about 1/4 of the price of the phone, while buying off of ebay seem to reduce costs to roughly 10$.
I have 2 questions, which I'd rather not check by myself and ruin the phone:
How hard/dangerous is it to replace the screen by myself? Am I likely to ruin it further?
Second, do I need a screen replacement such as these found on E-bay (I cannot post a link to an example), or do I need a brand new LCD touch screen?
Thanks in advance!
i hope you can find here the answers:

A lcd is priced around half the value, not a quarter.
Lcd and digitizer 89.99p bonded one 99.99p gbp.

HI,
Yesterday unfortunately my friend dropped his S3 on a floor and it got a crack as long as a thumb. We visited our nearest Samsung service center to inquire about the cost to replace. They quoted Rs 7000/- (Approx. 130$) here in India. And we were told that S3 touch screen will be replaced.
The LED and the touch works flawlessly, but then is it required to replace the touch buttons too? Or we can just buy a S3 glass from amazon with will cost 8$ and then take out the Home button, and touch buttons circuits from the cracked screen?
Please advice as it would save 80% of the cost for my friend.
Thanks

Pay for the full repair, it is possible to buy the parts and try yourself but it's very difficult and you'll probably end up causing more damage than you fix. Search XDA or youtube for guides, also for the people that ended up paying for the full repair anyhow.
The $8 glass on EBay isn't gorilla glass but a cheap plastic fake. Instead spend $8 on a rubber case to make it bounce next time.
i recently dropped my phone and it got a crack in the bottom right corner around the back button stretching up to the middle of the left hand side of the screen, and i need help repairing it.
Im not sure if i can just replace the glass myself or i need to replace the digitizer or any other parts as the screen and back button still work perfectly fine.
I'd also like to know whether this job is easy enough to do at home as i am on a low budget, however i dont have much experience fixing phones.
much appreciated if anyone can help me
Replace the screen assembly, glass plus digitiser and oled screen. Trying to unglue the glass is very hard and the heat can kill the phone.

Replacing the whole digitiser is a lot easier, but beware cheap(ish) ebay parts - I replaced my digitiser with an assembly from ebay, but the glass in the replacement broke very easily.... replaced it again and it's cracked again, without even having a hard knock. Nowehere near as sturdy as OEM parts. Screen still works so leaving it for now
Words of warning...
I attempted to replace the glass on my S3 after I dropped it. I have over 20 years experience as a computer engineer and access to loads of tools. I watched numerous YouTube videos on the process before I started yet still I managed to break the digitiser. In the end I bit the bullet and bought another brand new S3 for £200. The cheapo replacement glass I bought from eBay did not seem very sturdy either - I'm certain it's not gorilla glass. My advice would be to get it fixed professionally by someone who uses OEM parts but then again, how close in price would that be to a brand new phone?
Hello guys & gals,
So as you all may know how fragile this phone is & with the lack of a full surround case (and brains) the top of the phone is essentially asking to be smashed.
So it finally happened, as I was walking, the phone slipped out of my pocket & landed on the pavement, the top right hand portion of the glass is chipped & there's a very small hairline crack on the glass itself, the digitizer itself is fine, however the front glass absorbed the damage causing it to crack & chip, I was wondering if it's actually possible to just heat the front glass, remove it & stick on a new glass like the one available in the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Display-To...202764?hash=item3d793f64cc:g:B7oAAOSwhJFb5xgu
Or would I have to go out of my way to get an entire screen & tear down the phone to replace it, there aren't many videos on this phones repair, plus I can only seem to find the front glass. Any information & help will be appreciated.
Here, they sell it the screen

Hey were you successful in replacing the glass? I see some on Amazon for $30. I'm in the same boat now. If i have to replace the whole display for several hundred dollars I'd rather just bin the phone and buy a different brand.
