You will have to pay.
Use the online chat.
The screen costs RMB 1513 here in China.
Samsung homepage provides the prices of main parts of their products with warranty void.
Maybe crack you eyes. Best way to fix. Who told you not to get the one-time free screen replacement?

Well why didn't you get a tempered glass or screen guard or cover?
My tablet fell but it had a screen guard I still though it'd break but it didn't.
I've invested im protection atleast 5 percentage of money of what I paid for the tablet.
Go to Samsung.
Pay whatever they ask. Unless you got that one time screen replacement still valid. Such a beautiful screen what a waste.

I'd rather risk dropping it and break the screen rather than spoil the experience and feel of the screen for the entire life of owning the device.
Manufacturers like Samsung don't put expensive oleophobic coatings on their devices for nothing.
It's like those people that cover their leather car seats with some cheapo seat cover. :silly:

My phone was dropped earlier however only the glass is cracked, not the actual screen. Everywhere I look, they only sell them as a pair, but I remember awhile back seeing just the glass for a reasonable price.
Where can I get it now?
Thanks!

Because that 'replacement glass' is a scam not a digitizer. It will not fit properly and will not function as a digitizer. If you look at the video, the removed digitizer has some wires on it. That allows communication w/ the motherboard. That glass is just glass. Even if you could remove the broken touch panel (digitizer) and fit the glass to the phone you would have no ability to use it.
The digitizers for all amoled Galaxy S phones are not available without the attached display panel. The replacement screen costs $95 just for the part, then add the labor and that is why it is so expensive.
If you notice, even the people who made the video (while showing the removal) don't sell the digitizer alone. Pro shops replace the whole assembly. If you can get the job done for $100 including labor, take it. It's a great price.

Not a problem. Unless you have done any repair work on these things you would not know. Most non oled display phones have the ability to replace touch screen and lcd displays individually. Unfortunately, not ours.
This scam works because most people that buy the glass never really get around to installing it, or if they do and it does not work they think they did something wrong. I have repaired a bunch of these things even if you could remove the digitizer sucessfully as shown in the DirectFix video, you can't get a replacement part. Also, this operation needs to be done in a clean room. Any dust on the amoled panel will bruise it when paired with the touch panel so a successful repair is very unlikely outside of the factory. That is why the repair parts are sold together as a unit.

You can't 'just replace the glass'. The digitizer and front glass are one and the same. They are inseparable.

What you saw was the digitizer/glass being removed from the AMOLED panel. So, as stated before, no, you can't just replace the glass.

Call me crazy but if people are buying these and not complaining they don't work. Then either they don't want to look stupid by saying they got scammed or they did replace the glass and is possible. I say it's possible but very hard since the thickness is about that of a piece of paper. I saw this on wiki for the superamoled little confusing.
Super Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode or Super AMOLED is a display technology (variant from AMOLED) mainly for use in mobile devices such as mobile phones (see the list below for examples). One of the main differences from other display technologies is that the layer that detects touch is integrated into the screen rather than being overlaid on top.

They are integral but can be separated.... just not rejoined and still work. Notice that the places that show the removal videos DO NOT sell a replacement part, just the entire screen. Most of the glass that is sold as a replacement is purchased from overseas. It costs more to return it than what was spent to purchase it. They are ALL worthless. If there are not wires coming from it it can't be a digitizer. If you remove your broken digitizer and are lucky enough not to destroy you amoled panel you still have nothing to replace it with. Most if not all people who buy these things never get around to attempting the replacement, or if they do, they destroy the panel in the process so they never get the chance see that the glass does not work. They think they screwed it up instead of being ripped off. That's why you don't see negative feedback about those things.... It's the perfect (almost) scam.
If you want to replace your glass buy the entire assembly ($95.00) on eBay and at the end of the process you will have a great phone again instead of a pile of junk.... not to mention feeling like you screwed up your phone.
Well what I'm going to do is wait for my brother to go to Verizon then take his vibrant and use his screen and mess with mine. Though I need to buff out the scratches. If by some miracle I do make it work I will post here. I hate when people find a way to fix something that some of us are trying to figure out and never report back how or just say "I fixed it was simple." WTF WAS IT! had to deal with that with my plasma which I finally did find one thread and fix it.
Sent from my Vibrant using xda premium, running ICS Passion v10.6 OH YEAH!
Digitizer and glass are factory glued together under high temperatures impossible to separate.
Just buy the whole assembly for $90 ( i've seen them for $79 once) with free shipping and tools on ebay. I always send offers using ebay "ask a question" and sometimes they give me few $$ off. Then it is a piece of cake since you can brake off the glass and remove the whole assembly that way.
My personal Vibrant is made of all kinds of used Vibrants and screen assembly comes from Galaxy S 4G which is good replacement too if you also want to get front facing camera.
technically can be done
while i don't recommend anyone else try, I was able to separate the glass from the screen. the glass was cracked but the screen still worked so i bought just the glass thinking it would be an easy replacement. so when i came to find them glued together i used my hot-air gun to melt the glue and remove to broken pieces of glass one by one, very carefully. when putting it back together with the new glass i couldn't re-glue it but the back tray holds the screen in place well enough. there was only one side effect that i have noticed so far. the glass is a little loose since not held to the screen, and i did burn the screen a little bit with the heat gun and it now has minor discoloration. but it is possible with enough patience and a steady hand.

Ouch.
Its repairable but its an expensive repair as entire screen + digitizer assembly needs to be replaced.
Parts are available: http://cnn.cn/shop/samsung-i9300-galaxy-c-26_1412.html
You might want to ask local Samsung repair centre for paid repair quote. Might be very close to the cost of part and might make better sense to get it done through Samsung directly.
didnt you use a case or screen guard? if so you did a big mistake you can take it for samsung service center and ask them to replace it, but they will charge for sure..

No, you have to replace the screen... there's a video on youtube how to dismantle SGS3.
Or, you could probably still get $400 for it on eBay. (If you're not the type who attempts to repair things on your own...)
Man I feel for you. I dropped my phone yesterday, it landed on it's face and has marks on the screen. The first thing I done was phone my insurance company and swap the details from my old s2 to this one .. I know I will do it again .

Damn s3 so breakable. I remember when i had s2 and note, it felt from my hands a lot of times and no scratches or broken display
I got a Squaretrade warranty for mine -- $69 for a year and covers accidental damage. (Doesn't cover loss or theft though...). They also charge a 99 dollar deductible, but that's still better than the almost $700 I paid for it to begin with.
A quick reminder, buying insurance on something after damaging it, then using the insurance to repair it *is* fraud, which is illegal, don't get us in trouble m'kay!

SGS2 & SGS3 screen
Samsung used the Gorilla Glass for SGS2. But for SGS3, they used the Gorilla Glass 2 which is much thinner than on SGS2 that's why it's easily breaks. For me, I will stay on my SGS2.
looks like i'll be buying a case for mine seeing all these posts about screen breakage. but until I find the right case, at least i have 90 days of lost & damage protection from Amex!

Screen damage is not the end of the world.......i have been looking at tear downs for the SGS3 and they are pretty basic, even replacing the screen ( which will prob end up costing where abouts of 249 dollars) but that over trashing a new device. i have dropped my sgs3 3 times in the last week and the silver bumper looks Hella Ratty, but my screen is perfect.
i am going to buy a replacement screen as the housing and the screen are joined together, or else i would really need to do some heat gun and gental pulling of the screen to get it out of the housing. but its not hard yall.
if your screen is cracked and you dont have warranty, maybe a screen is the way to go. all you need is small screw driver and a flat metal/plastic peice to pull of the board connections.

are you serious? with gorilla glass or gorilla glass 2, theres always the risk of cracking the screen when it falls on a hard surface. you cant be serious that thats the reason why your sticking with your s2
Go to a mobile phone repair shop.
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.

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..
So, after 2 weeks with the phone, I've cracked my s6 edge screen (LCD is intact). I don't have any insurance plan and the only available option is to replace it.
I've found the glass only for $26, much better than $250 for the whole display.
The problem now is that everywhere I look for on how to detach the old cracked glass from the LCD I find the same answer: IT IS VERY DIFICULT AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED!
So why is it even being sold?
I've found a lot of teardown videos on how to disassemble the phone etc etc, but none shows how to do this and some of them says the above.
Anyway, does anybody know how to replace the glass only and keep my existing LCD/Digitizer? I don't want to spend $250+ just because it's dificult.
Thanks in advance for any help!

It is very difficult, I don't understand why you think otherwise. Pretty sure, there's no way to not to mess up.
My advice, if the crack isn't too major live with it. Otherwise replace the whole digitizer.
Or you can end up destroying it all together like this guy

That's how you take any phone screen apart... You think it magically comes apart or what?[/QUOTE

Is there a reason you are being a jerk? I think you think you are pretty awesome. But, if you were so awesome you would know how to give advice. I took the glass off my Samsung s6 edge with NO problems. It is possible and it is possible to give advice to someone that is looking to save ALOT of money. If anyone is a troll.....It is you.

Here you go
It is very difficult to replace glass only.
You can google the video
Don't try to replace the Glass Lens by yourself, Trust me. you will 100% brake the LCD. I have the best solution. 1. sell your good function LCD to GG MALL and buy a Original OEM replacement LCD from them. if may offer more than 100$ if your lcd is good. and just buy a New part will just cost you 170$. finally you will just cost 70$ and get a OEM New union.
Buy repair kit, comes with guitar pick-like tool and small screwdrivers and the replacement screen.
Use Blowdryer/Heatgun/Hairdryer on front of phone to heat up front around the frame.
This will melt the adhesive keeping the screen tact to the frame/motherboard/back ***CAUTION*HOT*USE*GLOVES***
Use guitar pick-like tool then small screw driver to pry/lift screen gently
***DO NOT PIERCE/PUNCTURE/POKE BATTERY***
***FIRE***FIRE***FIRE***FIRE***FIRE***FIRE***FIRE***
Remove sticky cover from replacement screen
Lay down replacement screen to cover digitizer/lcd
FOLLOW THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. OR TAKE YOUR PHONE TO A SHOP

It worked. Thanks
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.
