Hello.
Recently I have received this redmi note 3 smartphone. The tempered glass they provided was totally bad and didn't stick to the screen. Hence I tried often to press the glass using my thumb against the screen. Little did I know that I would end up with a long crack on the screen from the top earpiece to the recents button..
The screen is working normally as of now..
So I want to know if I have to replace the whole screen (Rs2500) or is there a part of the screen only that needs replacement (Rs x, x<2500) that will cost me lesser..

If tempered glass is broken, then you have to only tempered for Rs.50.. if touch screen is cracked then you have to replace whole combo i.e display.

Tempered glass for 50? I have heard quotes anywhere from 150 to 400. After some bargaining I buy it for 130. But 50 seems impossible

Well.. It is the latter one, quite unfortunately...
Then I assume this is the one to be bought.. m.ebay.in/itm/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-3-Lcd-Touch-Screen-Display-Digitizer-Asembly-/152109446476[/url]
Am I right?
Oh and what happens if I ignore the cracked screen? Will it go worse over time?

oh.. Really..? If you are pro smartphone user then you must know the smartphone market too.. I personally buy 0.3 MM flexible tempered glass for Rs.30 and Regular tempered glass for Rs.20 for any smartphone. Somehow Indirectly i belong to the same market, 2 years back for a shopkeeper tempered glass used to cost Rs.27 per piece which they sold for 150-400, but now that cost is reduced to Rs.15(Regular) - Rs.25(0.3mm,0.2mm) per piece.. which is sold by shopkeeper for 100-500. But in same market any random customer get any tempered for Rs.50. Dude.. stop buying everything online.. every city has a Major Mobile Repairing and Accessories market.. just have a walk through it. It is the same Tempered glass which you guys buy for 200-300 Same level of anti-scratch hardness(level 6 on Moh scale of Hardness)

my personal advice will be dont go online for combo.. if anything comes out wrong.. your money and time both will be wasted.. If you can spend 2500 then surely go for Service centre, 2500 totally worth.. but if you dont wanna spend that much then go to Mobile repairing market.. get it replaced there.. if anything comes wrong then you can have replacement at the spot. I just asked my friend and he told that there are two quality available.. Rs.1480 and Rs.1700.. 1480 one is quite thicker than original.

I did not buy it online. I've visited several shops and they flat out deny to apply it if you bargain below 130. They'll just tell you to buy from some other place. You must be fairly lucky to have such cheap tempered glasses in your area. That isn't the case here.

Well in that case, find out the wholesale market from where those shopkeepers do buy stuffs, just go to that market, enter any new shop, tell them you are shopkeeper with confidence.. buy 5 tempered glass for Rs.100. keep rest for future. Area doesnt matter dude.. its same story everywhere.. every part of India buy these stuffs from Delhi only.

Hi guys,
I just dropped my vibrant from 3 feet high and gorilla glass had a crack and half of the screen doesnt work and half of it shows random colors. Other than that it seems fine. Does it happened to someone else? I thought gorilla glass is uncrackable and Samoled is so elastic and durable but it seems opposite.
Should I send it to SamsungUSA or just buy a complete digitizer+glass+Samoled kits from ebay around 129$? Which one will be cheaper because I am afraid Samsung will charge a lot for screen replacement?
If you can help me I really appreciate it,
Thanks
If you have the insurance it is 135.00 with tmo or whomever they subcontract the insurance to. Otherwise check Globaldirect for cost. It usually will be cheaper there. Also, be aware that some replacement kits are not amoled but LCD kit so read the fine print on that as well.
Good luck
thanks, i am probably gonna order from ebay and change it myself. Globaldirect has minimum order restriction so its not useful for me
Did you check with Samsung directly for your regular warranty? The way these things usually work is that the normal warranty covers it until the 1 year is up -- no deductible. Since it is supposedly Gorilla Glass they should cover the glass from damage too. Be really charming when talking with them. Call back until you get a representative in your country too (during the day is safest.)
Let me know so I have it for future reference.

that's a misconception abt gorilla glass. its stronger than regular glass. its scratch n crack resistant but not scratch n crack proof. oh and samsung DOES NOT distribute their samoled screens to 3rd parties. all those.sellers on ebay are.selling regular LCD screen replacements.
I stupidly cracked my SGS2 glass and the service center guys are requesting 6000 INR to replace it :-(
Is there anyother way to manually do the same?
Will it deny my warranty?
What the hell you were doing with your phone you breake the gorilla glass.
sol- order the screen of sgs 2 on eBay or Google search it. and then go to any local phone repair shop I think that might help.don't know if this will void warranty.
If I helped you In any means hit thanks button.....
Im curious. Do you get money or something when someone hits the "Thanks" button

Try using the search button many post have been done on this
Pic of the broken glass please. And let us know how you cracked the Gorilla Glass.
You would have to replace the glass+screen assembly (as its glued together), its not very hard but means taking the whole phone apart.
I think the unit costs about £60~ (GBP) there is a thread on the forum with a howto about replacing it, and a model number you can google to find the part.

Try youtube a method, I'm sure there's something on there
And it probably will void your warranty
You cant do much. Either buy a replacement from eBay and get it repaired by someone, or buy a new phone..
Don't feel bad dude... *picks up his SGS2 with broken screen
I ordered a new screen off ebay for $100 shipped from Hong kong. I have it, just haven't replaced it yet.
I broke mine chopping wood with an axe and having the phone jammed against my pocket knife...
buying from ebay is cheaper, but u need to chage it yourself, y not pay 6000 INR
6,000.00 INR = 73.7767 GBP
Not too expensive to replace I think tbh
Do you have a link where can this be done
Thanks

This, for the price of the piece itself this is a minimal labour charge.
so it's 73.7767 GBP plus parts?
Am i right there

i see quite a few guys who expressed earth shattering shock. C'mon, do you think corning's gorilla glass is invincible? Oh please, remember that the hardness of the glass does not come at a price. In science, hardness is defined as the ability to scratch another material. What corning has done in its proprietary treatment, is to increase the hardness rating of the glass but in return, the brittleness of the glass goes up a few notches.
my sympathies goes to the OP. try finding a touchscreen digitizer. it is essentially glass + touchscreen sensor + digitizer. dont bother changing the glass alone. i doubt if you sent your unit, the techs will change the glass alone. They probably change the touchscreen digitizer in its entirety as well.
Well after having my z ultra for a month I decided to go nearly case less (have the Incipio Watson case) using a thin case, I managed to crack the glass over the screen in my pocket which renders the entire phone useless. I do realize that it was my fault for going without a case and not being extremely careful. But now that this has happened to me I want to let you guys know the after effects. Like I said I only cracked the top layer glass but due to design the touch sensitive portion also is damaged. They sandwiched the glass, digitizer, and lcd together as one unit with the digitizer glued directly to the glass so once cracked the entire phone has to be disassembled and glass, digitizer, and lcd has to be replaced as a assembly ($250us). This is not a cheap repair and I've found one aftermarket online repair shop that's charging $300us to fix with no guarantees. And they don't say whether it will still be water proof after repair. I called Sony before they announced the phone here and they told me due to the fact that it isn't offered here they would have to send the phone to the country of origin for repair and it could take a month or two before it returns. And they didn't have a firm cost of repair but $189 normal phone cost. I think due to the thinness of the phone made it extremely fragile with super thin glass (which is how I think they managed the use of metals as stylus) covering the screen. So I recommend getting protection that adds rigidity and screen protection or getting added warranty coverage to the phone to avoid my bad luck.
If something goes wrong with my ultra I will run it over with my car and use my home insurance. 100$ and i get a new one. Here in Sweden it's called "bad luck" insurance

I wish I had waited and got the lte version and insurance but it was looking like they weren't gonna release the beast for America. I hope now it'll be a quick turn around fix now tho. But considering getting the lte version with insurance.
Did you crack it from pocket pressure or something hit it? Was your phone screen facing outwards?
u misses out the most important thing ppl came to this kinda of post to see
everything u said was aleady clear by your title
so
we re all here to see,,,,
How did you break it ?

Just to let you know, while looking on the brando site, I noticed they had Z ultra replacement screens for $150.... Don't know their quality, etc... but I did see them...
I only have a Skinomi clear skin on mine. Front pocket, back pocket daily phone. Even the hood of my car dropped on it while using it doing a repair. No issues here pretty tough. Although I was sure I cracked it after that incident.
Yeah, I'm on the same boat.. How tf did it break?

Had it in the pocket screen faced towards my leg in a squatted position (wasn't thinking and frustrated at the same time from work) and cracked it from pressure/flexing presumably since all cracks stem from single crack at edge. What's crazy is that it seems to still be cracking even though im not using it. Have pictures in tow.
Did you squat really low? or like sitting down position kind of squat? Did you feel the pressure on in your pocket?
I have the phone as well and I only have a gel case, but I'm always scared to sit down with it cause I feel a bit of pressure when I do.
I don't wear skinny jeans, just regular straight jeans.

its 2 years, u have 30 days from purchase date. it covers everything except stolen.
I'm having a hard time finding a non-shady online retailer to replace my D6503's screen. It's doing some odd things. Touch responsiveness is ok, it just has washed out colours. One link I found on this site points to etradesupply, which has a ton of negative reviews.
Anyone end up getting OEM parts anywhere? Thanks!
Try http://www.replacebase.co.uk I bought my spares from here!

Let me know if your interested

Hi, this is for people from India. Have any of you installed tempered glass screen protector which works fine with fingerprint scanner? If so, please share your experience and links.
TIA
Yes, got 1 today.
Fingerprint was working fine but the the size of that glass was not upto the margins, if you apply from top bottom of screen would hide and vice versa. So returned it...
PS: this was the one, don't buy it...

Anyone else who has got a good TGP which doesn't block the screen, preferably full glue.
Well i would recommend leave the default protector on till the end of November that is when we can expect the official tamper glass to appear online. You can also get one from the experience stores if you have one near you.

I am keeping the film on till it lasts. It's the best fitting screen protector as of now. We have a gorilla 6 screen so breaking the screen shouldn't be a bother. I went to a shop looking for a screen guard, the guy said he will fit the glass on top of the OEM film cause its the best there is, so I said thank you and left.
