Apparently broken front glass on the dual screen is very common.
Nice job! was wondering where i could find a replacement since the mirror glass seems so incredibly pointless.

i've tried to click the link but it says it's unavailable. could you share the file you used for the 3d cutout? or maybe do you have any other site to find your work? thanks
Any updates on this? The Etsy link looks like it is dead. Anyone have 3D printer models?
Someone on Reddit posted a 3D printer model for replacement covers.
LG V60 Dual Screen Case Glass Replacement by amauro27
Here is my model that is an affordable replacement for the LG V60 Dual Screen Case's glass front. After my glass shattered into one epic mess, I figured why not just print a replacement instead. After a lot of careful measuring, many prototypes to ensure a near perfect fit, my final model has...

I did a search and saw no thread, so I figured I'd let the Boxwave fans know that they do have EVO 3D screen protectors and other accessories for sale. The weird thing is, they don't have the EVO 3D listed under their HTC devices, or on their front page, but if you type in the name in the search for devices box, you will get the EVO 3D accessories.
Here is a link to the EVO 3D stuff. I personally think that Boxwave make the best protectors by far, so I am amped!

Thanks for the heads up, agree with you that Boxwave makes great stuff. Too bad they took so long to produce the protectors otherwise it would be on my phone right now. I'm currently using the screen protectors from FL Superstore ( http://myworld.ebay.com/flsuperstore ) for $1.48 shipped and it's been working well.
Maybe I might pick up a versacharger, it's a nice update from the original design. Did you order from them?

Yeah, I picked up a 3 pack of anti-glare screen protectors. Nothing I've used compares and I'm just going to replace the one thats on there now.
I've been using Boxwave stuff for 6 or 7 years and am 100% satisfied with every purchase. For people that live in the cold country and wear gloves their capacitive screen stylus is awesome.
Quick question for anyone that knows the answer: Do the stylus work with a screen protector on the phone? Basically does it work with the interaction between the stylus and the glass or does it also work if a screen protector is in the way?
Because I have an InvisibleShield on mine.

I would imagine that it does work. Your finger still works when a screen protector is on, so I don't see why the stylus wouldn't...

Dude what do you care you live in Arizona. j/k My kid lives in Ohio and it works with SP and freezing weather.
Yes it does and it works well. I presently have a seidio screen protector on the phone but it also works with the otterbox defender on top of the seidio.
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!
Here's a glass replacement for $12.80 (Free Shipping)... CLICK HERE

Note: This video uses a Fascinate, but the steps taken should be similar to replacing the Vibrant's screen.
Thanks so much!
No problem. Hope you get your phone back up & running.

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.

I just need the glass.
I've seen some other videos and I got it down. All you do is take the glass and remove it from the amoled screen then replace. I don't need a digitizer.

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.

Anyone? Is that saying the display (lcd screen) has the digitizer built in the screen itself?

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.

Any follow up on this?
Any video/help for broken galaxy s1 i9000 glass?.
I meam the front thing as i understand its just a piece of glass and not a touchscreen. But for the phone you talk about its a touchscren and not just a glass
A friend of mine has an ATT Titan (phone says PI39100) with a cracked front glass. I was looking to purchase a new front lens/digitizer for her phone and do the replacement. Most of what I find online are for the x310e.
Long question short: is the front lens for the x310e the same exact one as for the PI39100? or are the two not compatible?
Also, if someone can point to a DIY for doing this I'd appreciate it - otherwise, i'll take on it the same as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 I did earlier this week (using a hair dryer and an exacto knife) I would like to at least know the lens is the same so I can order soon.
Thanks in advance.
The screens are the same. The only difference will be that the new screen will have the HTC-Brand name instead of AT&T. Is it just the glass cover that's broken or is the whole touch screen? You can either replace just the glass cover or the entire touch screen. At least that is what I understand because I've seen both parts offered separately.
Regarding the DIY replacement have a look here:

Excellent. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you VERY much for your assistance
Oh, and it's the glass cover that's broken, because she's still able to (and currently continues to) use the phone. On ebay, I've seen the glass and digitizer going for under $30 shipped, so I think it's reasonable enough.
Thanks again. :good:

Just them using a generic stock image for now. I'm sure it will change once the final design of the screen protector is finished.
Jesus $34.95 for a screen protector? Hopefully it comes with a midget to apply it for me perfectly, I would just mess up the application like I always do with screen protectors.
I'm flexible on the included midget, I'll also accept an attractive woman to apply it perfectly.
Sent back Otterbox Alpha glass
I bought the Otterbox Alpha Glass for Nexus 6 from Amazon for, like, $1000 (okay, it was closer to $37). I didn't like it because it didn't seem to stick on either short edge and parts of the long ends of the phone. I figured it was just me. I asked to have it exchanged. Then I watched someone on Youtube install his, and he ran into the exact same problem. So I think I will just get a refund and then... I don't know. I've already tried the expensive plastic one from Zagg with no luck.

Hi all, I'm asking if anyone has found a place where is possible to get the original screen protector that comes with the phone and already applied.
This is why I'm tired to waste so much money in trying screen protections the doesn't fit the device. The only one working perfectly, was the original, applied by huawei.
Please help.
I don't care glass protections, but at last plastic one is OK for me.
I think that I need only to know where to buy the original huawei screen protector, as I've asked above. No other types, not similar ones. Only exactly the same.
It's not the best, but it works well for me. So I need help in finding the original one. Thanks who can help me .

I've got the £11.99 one from this page and it's fantastic.
https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/search?q=P20 pro
Complete coverage, fitting went perfectly and it's tough.
No rainbow, no real glare and the glass is very very clear. Plus it's 9H so it'll take a pretty beefy knock..
The only concern I would have is whatever case you have, if the lip is obtrusive or onto the screen then it may lift.
PS: the stock one is awful pal, there are no iffs or buts about it, it lifts, it scratches and it won't take a knock?
