I have the Le Max 2 X820. It's about 14 months old. Tonight I noticed light seeping from under the screen. It's then that I realized that the screen was separating from the frame.
I powered it off, used very thin tweezers, dipped super glue on the tip of the tweezers, and ran glue along the length of the frame of both the back of the screen and the frame. I then used a flat book to apply pressure to the screen to make the best seal possible. Unfortunately, a glass screen protection won't make a tight seal over the screen now. Everything is working mechanically though with the screen.
Hopefully, it'll hold. Has anyone else had the same issue with the screen separating on the Le Max 2?
Yes. But I doubt your solution to be helpful in the longtherm.
In my case it was the battery pressing the screen out of the frame, because of the cells inside inflating.
Maybe you should be thinking about changing the battery or starting with a battery health check.

i have a titan 2 and the screen seems very loose. i can put my finger in between the bezel part and the glass screen and it takes almost no effort to pry it out and move it around. if i press anywhere on the screen, even just lightly, the light "wave effect goes through the entire screen and its very annoying. anyone else have this?
anyone?
I don't have a Titan 2, but I doubt this is more of a generic issue. If it's not been water damaged or dropped, I think you've been supplied one of the faulty pieces. The wave effect through out the screen could be your digitizer.
I recently changed the screen on my note 2. When I put the new glass on i noticed it looked like a water mark when I pressed on the screen. The top half works fine when I touch it and the entire screen works fine with the s pen. would the LCD glue fix the problem?
I'm pretty certain it would. You need adhesive between the digitizer/lcd combo and the glass screen. That's how it is stock.
I hope so.
so i had my phone face down on a clean school desk
i picked it up carefully and vertically (so the screen doesnt rub against the desk)
ans surprise! there are tiny scratches on the right and left side of the display
is this normal?
The other day, i had my phone face down on my backpack literally 4 inches above concrete. One slow fall later, i flip it over and there's one long horizontal crack across the glass. I think i'm going to get a shop to put a white screen on it now.
The outside bezel of the glass has a small ridge in it that elevates it VERY slightly when it is put face down without a case, so the edge of the front face is very prone to scratches. Mine seems to hold up pretty well. I have dropped it more times than any other phone I've ever had, and the only visible damage I have is a small chip about 1/2 a millimeter on the top left corner. It's small enough that my case covers it up.

the scratches are not visible by any means. but the fact that just by putting it face down scratches the screen is kind of disheartening.
anyways. if it gets any worse, i might just get a replacement screen.
Get the xtreme guard screen protector. Super cheap and lasts a long time

Mine fell out of my jacket pocket about 2' onto tile at a store when I was reaching down to pick something up it slipped out and landed flat on the screen, no damage except for a few minor scratches that are only visable when the light hits it just right. Forgot to mention that I did not have a case or any kind of screen protector on it.
I do not know if this has been mentioned or brought up before, but I just wanted to let the G2 crowd know that if they want to go the cheaper route and replace just the digitizer on their G2, it is possible with patience! You will be separating the glass from the LCD with a little bit of heat and a lot of caution, so as not to bust that beautiful LCD that these things are packin'. As you all may already know, the front glass is the digitizer so it'll all be replaced and your touch will work again, without busting the bank! This should only be considered if you're a very handy person with some superfine motor skills.
All you really need is a steady heat source of around 200F. I use a griddle, similar to this
http://www.walmart.com/ip/16451315?...56276670&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=34449323470&veh=sem
Most people have one of these laying around in a cabinet.
Get on eBay and find the digitizer for the phone and some LOCA UV Adhesive. 10ML is way more than enough.
Take the phone apart, then lay the LCD/Digitizer face down on that griddle and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Use a razor blade to VERY CAREFULLY and slowly peel the glass back. You should see the glass separating from the LCD. Continue this and take your time until all of the glass is removed. Then clean the LCD. It takes some work, this glue is extremely sticky and the only thing I've found to completely remove it is Clorox Surface wipes. They're the kind that come presoaked with some kind of cleaner. Even those take a little elbow grease to completely remove the glue from the LCD surface. It should be shiny. A couple specs wont matter, the LOCA has proven to be great at hiding imperfections. Next you will remove the LCD from the frame of the phone. There will be some connectors following through the bottom half of the phone to the PCB that has the charging port on it. Once the LCD is removed, add a line of LOCA glue to the LCD about as wide as a cigarette. Lay your new glass down on that glue, being careful not to trap too many bubbles. If you have a couple, no problem. You can leave them if it doesn't bother you, or you can push them to the edges. Next, align the LCD with the handy little lines that are printed on the back of the glass. Get something to hold it together, clothespins or hair clamps will do fine. After clamping, once again ensure the glass is aligned properly with the LCD. Then all you have to do is take it outside, let it cure in the sun for about 5 minutes, clean the extra glue up and reassemble the phone!!! I've got one waiting for a glass to come in so as soon as I get that I'll try to post some pics. Enjoy the savings, and the adventure!

Have a perfectly good LCD at home now with damaged digitizer and frame I'd rather use vs playing around with these crappy Ebay replacement parts I've gotten in the past month
It is not easy to replace but it is very easy to damage LCD, it's not so expensive to buy new screen with digitizer and frames (90-100$) so i prefer to buy full lcd and dont try to replace digitizer.
I've got a Galaxy S III (i9300) with a very shattered front glass. The display and digitizer works just fine though. Menu, back and home buttons too. Everything is working, i just need to replace the front glass. I've once replaced the whole front package (LCD, Glass, Digitizer) on a Galaxy S2 very successfully so i have some form of experience.
Will be my first time replacing only the front glass. Unfortunately i wont be able to put any LOCA there as i dont have any UV light. I do however some regular adhesive 2mm tape that i will put around the screen to prevent dust and stuff from coming in. Also i dont have a IR thermometer and i will be using a hair dryer. I know how hot it has to be by feeling it. I should almost not be able to hold my hands on the glass. It might take a very long time but if its possible to do it, im willing to try.
What i'm worried about is the glass shards that are in the middle of the screen. Most shards end at the edge of the screen so i can apply pressure there when im removing the shards. But the shards in the middle have all edges on the digitizer. I cannot apply any form of pressure towards the digitizer so im worried of how ill remove them. Also the left lower corner around the menu button is full with tiny shards. like 0.5mm-3mm shards. Im wondering what is the best way of removing them? BTW i still got the touch screen protection plastic on. It got bubbles now cuz of the cracks.
Here is a picture of how cracked it is. Its not exact but close enough. Paint is OP.
The black spot in bottom is where the glass is simply gone. It fell of after time. I put some tape over it to cover it up so nothing can fall in.
Any advice on how to remove these shards?
Very appreciated
