Hi. My LG G2 Mini fall down on pavement. The front glass is break and touch don't work well. Display is ok. Man in GSM service told me that he only changed all set consist of front glass, digitizer and LCD because exchange without LCD is impossible. It's true? I finded on internet cheaper set without LCD than with LCD. If the repair is possible have I try fix it on my own or search qualified person?
It is possible, but very hard. You will have to use UV glue to stick the glass. And there is high risk that you will damage the display (if G2 mini has OGS screen, there's no glass between the digitizer and LCD panel, so it can be easily damaged.

I have a S3 that had a cracked screen. I bought a replacement lens and during the removal the digitizer also cracked. I was a little over eager during the repair and didn't fully appreciate how well the lens and digitizer were fused. So now I have a perfectly fine screen, just a broken digitizer.
I looked around and it looks like the only options are to get the lens only or the entire assembly. Anyone know if there is a middle ground where I can replace the lens and digitizer but not the screen?
Thanks.
How would you do to replace only the digitizer ? You must remove the glass to do it, and probably break it during process.
That's why even if it's more expensive I bought the whole front piece: glass + digitizer + frame.
You can buy three things:
- front glass only: cheap but very tricky to remove it only without breaking digitizer.
- front glass + digitizer: you have to remove them from your phone, first glass, then digitizer, unglue them and so on.
- front glass + digitizer + frame: you have to move power and sound level buttons, antenna, motherboard, front camera lens, speaker and so on.
Btw what are you calling 'lens' ?

I was calling the front glass the lens. It seemed pretty easy to find just the front glass. I wasn't able to find the front glass + digitizer - there were plenty of places that said this is what you get, but looking at the pictures it only resembled the front glass. I removed both from the phone (and broke the digitizer cable in process). I ended up calling Samsung and they said they would do the whole assembly for $178. My understanding is that the whole assembly also includes the LCD, correct? Oddly enough, it appears to be more on ebay and local repair shops, so I went with sending it in.
The full assembly includes the samoled screen.

So, my screen is scratched.
Wondering if I can replace only the glass, because the screen is working correctly .
I have read about it, i know it is a ver y difficult fix but...
Is it possible? If it is possible, what should I do first? I have seen a vídeo where a guy replaces his Galaxy s3's glass without dissasembling it.
Thanks!
The front glass and amoled screen are one sealed unit.......bonded together with some extremely strong glue/double sided tape. It is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that they could be separated without causing damage. You *can* get JUST the front glass from eBay, but while you're on eBay, I'd look at how much you'd be charged for replacing the entire unit......you will probably need to if you attempt to remove just the glass.........
Back to 10.1 for now.....
Hello, I have galaxy s3 with cracked front screen (amoled screen is not cracked) and I want to change it. I have viewed some videos about changing it and have a question about a digitizer and front glass. Example in this video http://youtu.be/6gLzEbAIGos?t=3m32s a man removes front screen (i dont know how to call it, digitizer or front glass) at 3:30 and then at 4:30 he puts a new front screen but there are no connectors on it, so how does the touch screen even works without any connectors? This man said that he bought this screen http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00932V17C/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and there's written that it is a front glass and "The LCD display and touch screen are not included". So where is the digitizer (touch screen) ??? At that video when he removed front screen there was only amoled screen left, then he put on that front screen without digitizer and touch screen worked. I am soo confused. Please explain it to me.
As I understand it the front part is simply a glass screen over the digitiser/touchscreen hence the lack of connectors, the tricky part is removing the glass from the touchscreen without damaging it, then rebonding the new glass.

But in the video when he removed that front glass without connectors there seems no digitizer left over the lcd.
The digitiser and oled screen are bonded together, the front glass is just a cover.
Don't bother with the cheap 'glass', it's usually soft plastic and useless. If you read the reviews it's clear you are buying a con.

Hello. I have had a galaxy s3 with cracked glass and tried to replace it. I have seen many videos on youtube how to replace it. Basically people on these videos heat the screen and then remove the front glass easily, because the digitizer is glued to the lcd. But when I tried to remove it it came off quite easily, but only then I noticed that the digitizer was glued not to the lcd but to the front glass, so when i tried to remove front glass I accidentally broke the digitiser connector and somehow damaged the lcd. You can see photos here:

http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Samsung-galaxy-S-III-/00/s/MTYwMFg5MDE=/z/QREAAMXQ74JTUq67/$_58.JPG (in this photo you can see that the digitizer was glued to the front glass very strongly)
I would like to ask, do you know why the digitizer could have been glued to the front glass but not to the lcd? And why the lcd could have been damaged while removing front glass??
I would really wanna know the answer myself, as I ordered one that should have reached yesterday, but as they do not work on weekends, it will be here tommorow, and I don't wanna brake my display forever, especially because mine is not that damaged.
Any ideas?
my advice don't bother with a glass replacement. I HAVE TRIED TWICE and as the op said the digitizer is glued to the front glass. this has been the case with both the original screen and two replacement lcd/digitizer/glass assemblies that i personally took apart. each time the glass was fused to the digitizer . i used a heat gun and a laser thermometer and still i failed. I was successful replacing the whole screen assembly twice . but those cost about $130 from amazon,com. These replacements may seem at first like oem but the ones i got cracked very easily. they dont use the gorilla glass and the quality is not as good. one replacement was really bad in sunlight. could not see anything. after my screen cracked a third time i got a galaxy s 5 . and started using a case and screen protector.
Hey buddies, The screen of my phone got breked. Touch is working. i can use the phone. Is there anyone who knows how to replace the LCD Screen glass and where to find the glass?
https://www.amazon.com/MOTOROLA-Mot...506525321&sr=8-12&keywords=moto+g4+plus+glass for the hard replacement but cheaper, OR
https://www.amazon.com/ePartSolution_OEM-Motorola-Digitizer-Assembly-Replacement/dp/B0713SWNFJ for more expensive but easier drop-in replacement
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yu7HpzQU2I shows how difficult it is to replace just the glass of the phone
Don't expect Gorilla Glass 3 like OEM but more like cheap glass so next drop, will break again.
