Hey guys,
I dropped my Honor 7 on its back, and unfortunately the camera is cracked now. I mean, it still works, but the glass covering it is cracked. Any idea how I go about replacing it (and where I can buy a replacement glass/camera)?
I think they're really sensitive because I broke mine without dropping in within a month of getting the phone. I'd like to know if it can be replaced too.
@iknighty: I'm quite surprised by this, as Honor claims to use a Sapphire glass for the covering of Camera module, which indeed is tougher and harder than Gorilla Glass 4

hi
I have some scratchs on my screen and I am looking for a replacement digtizer.
I found several on ebay,
http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=xp...+screen&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
Have anyone replaced the digitizer or know if this are original?
Thanks!
Did you remove the factory screen protector for some reason and not replace it? Or did your phone not come with a factory screen protector?

Hi
I removed the factory screen protector. when I got a couple of scratches I applied a new protector.
But the few scratches I have are ittitating me!!!!
Hi, I recently changed my digitizer. Put on a black one on my white phone. They are all real, I have not seen any fakes around. I also bought mine off of ebay.
--duplicate--
I wish one of these ebay listings gave a part number or model number for the digitizer... for obvious reasons.

Is this digitizer is the same part i need to change when my screen gets cracked ?
The story is my phone fell down and the screen got cracked and kinda ink appeared around the line of crack..
I was really wandering which part to change since the touch was working fine..
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...

Hey Mezo,
The digitizer is factory glued with the top glass and is considered one piece since you can't separate the two. The LCD is separate from the digitizer. If your LCD is cracked, then your display will be distorted with lines across the screen. If your top glass is cracked, then your digitizer will still work since the digitizer is not as fragile as the top glass. So the question is, is the top glass cracked? Is the LCD display cracked as well? I know your digitizer will still be functioning but you might want to consider buying a new one as for the cracks may be unappealing and annoying.
I simply broke the top glass and I did not like the crack spanning across my screen so I got myself a new one.
If your LCD is damaged then you need to buy a new LCD which is not cheap... (over $100).
@trojjanhorse
the top layer which i touch is functional, so that means i have broken the LCD ?
i appreciate if you have a look on them i attached some pic, i hope they are clear enough since i took them with 3mp cam
thanks for the help in advance, i don't know much about mobile displays

Most likely you have broken the LCD. When dark pixels appear like that, it usually means that you've directly struck the LCD itself and damaged that area.
It was a thin line at first then some Ink started to flow and became bigger the next day.
So its the LCD?
should I fix it at the service center or i can replace it myself?

You can, in theory, fix it yourself but it'll be a biatch of a job. Use the X10 undressing post to find out how to actually take it to bits...
Then put the new LCD in.
only issue is finding somewhere that sells them... I don't know if they're a generic 854x480 lcd or what so...
To change LCD is very simple, but to change the digitizer is suicide. You will need to get a new LCD. I would buy one off of ebay and install it myself. I've been fixing phones for 2 years now so I had my share of experience but it may be difficult for you. The black liquid is due to the fact that LCD stands for "Liquid" Crystal Display
Good luck.
Hello all,
Got my S3 a couple of weeks ago and dropped it onto a wood floor on Friday with no case on it (been waiting for mine to arrive from Amazon ). The device seems to be absolutely fine apart from a very small scratch on the top left of the screen. I've been trying to live with it but it's really annoying me and would be more than happy to pay to get it fixed if it doesn't cost absolutely silly money.
Is it possible just to have just the glass replaced or will I have to shell out for the glass and the digitiser etc as well? Has anyone else had their S3 screen repaired?
Thanks
Replacing the S3 screens are pricey, I'd stick with the scratch until you do some serious damage.
It is inevitable the phone will get scratched at one point so I find it hard to believe someone would pay to have a whole screen replaced based on one scratch, you must be crazy!
If the scratch is that annoying get a decent screen protector and you won't be able to see it.
It would be very expensive. The front plate, digitizer, and amoled screen are bonded in one piece and the assembly is sold at ~US$200 in Ebay.

I'm not sure, it looks like the front plate and the digitizer are totally inseparable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es8gezSdKv4.
Good luck to OP anyway.

Just read, and see that you are about to do the same. Good luck to you as well.
Yet I think the person in the video didn't peel off just the glass but the glass together with the digitizer, which is slightly tinted as seen in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es8gezSdKv4.
The cheapest and best solution is to use a mirror screen protector. It will hide your scratch when phone is off.
When Screen on you will not notice it.
I'm sure I have read a thread where someone got it replaced at car phone warehouse for £80ish, not sure how true that is as it does seem very cheap for the job. Worst you can do is ring them and ask for a quote and them tell you this ain't true.
I have insurance which would cost me £25 excess through my bank so not really looked into costs of getting things replaced, but I have taken apart a lot of phones in the past and they are getting much harder to replace things like glass on its own. As said above it would have to have digitizer, which is pretty costly to purchase.

you can buy the unit for £150 and follow a youtube video on how to replace, or pay between £175-£225 for a full repair.
I took mine to a Samsung repair centre on a Saturday and had it fixed within 30min, paid £215 but just wanted it done.
The glass and the digiizer are glued together so the whole unit would have to be changed.

Hi
If the screen still functions and the touch is working properly you can just change the glass face but you will have to be real careful as doing it yourself without the right equipment is risky and you can end up without a screen working at all. the whole screen that is currently on the phone will be completely sealed to the phone so it is a slow process to remove it and you can end up pulling the digitizer off the lcd and again this is not fixable if this happens.
also the finish will not be as good as the original without the right type of liquid glue to go back between the glass and digitizer.
at the end of the day you are better off sending it to someone who does it a lot and has all of the gear to do it, as you will get a better finish at the end.
Mod edit: Removed..
Hi all,
Recently I had an accident in which my G5 was dropped and the glass shattered. The good thing is the glass broke only in the upper area around sensors, and the display area is just cracked so I can use the phone.
Now, the situation is that I am in Indonesia currently, where the G5 SE is sold, not regular G5 which I have. I went to the service center and they told me the spare parts are not the same which is real surprise for me, because I thought the only difference is in the processor, not external hardware differences.
I checked in some regular phone service stores and they also say they can't get the part.
I would like to order it, but wouldn't like some knock-off screen with bad colors from ebay, so I would like your suggestion how to solve this issue the best way, because I won't be going to Europe till New year. So can I order from LG somehow?
Also, is it possible to replace the glass only because the LCD is working fine? They told me it's glued together so you have to replace the whole LCD.
Thank you.
Regards,
It dont look easy to split glass and lcd. Take a look here https://youtu.be/bS9mtqfGTGI
I am happy to see the screen is glued now and not with tape like it was on g3, becuse on g3 the tape failed and glass started to fell of by itself.

Hey fellas!
I've been using my opx since it came out and I would never pick a different phone, but recently my front glass cracked after falling. The display is fine, but every service I went to tells me they only replace both. Is there a way to replace just the broken glass? Also where could I get a spare one? Is Aliexpress good enough?
TIA
Same thing here mate. You can buy just the screen, but replacing just the screen is very hard. I haven't bought the screen myself so I can't help you with that.
The process will be pretty similar to this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhSAmai8OKk .
I wouldn't recommend trying to repair it yourself.
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
I was looking for the answer to the same question. I went ahead and bought replacement glass off ebay. I'll be giving it a try this evening/tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

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.
