Cracked glass but not display. What can be done? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Unfortunately yesterday I cracked the glass on my Note 2 after dropping it from a height of a feet (So much for the Gorilla Glass 2)
Anyway, whats done is done and I now have big 2 inch long crack on the glass. The display & touch is fine and working well though.
What I wanted to ask you guys is if you know of a way to replace just the glass? Or would I have to go in and get the whole display unit replaced? I have a spare display unit from a friends Note 2(He cracked the display but his glass was fine). Is there some way to use the glass from that unit?
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Happened to me once. The glass was broken and some stripped off color on the sides. I bought glass only and the housing on ebay (shipped from hong kong), but it looked good and nice quality like original. I took time to learn from watching YouTube and replaced them. Now it looks like new. You can try, it is not impossible

I do it often
I do it all the time. in fact I buy lcd assemblies with broken glass allot on ebay and refurbish. Many people watch a youtube video and think they can do it without an issue. some succeed and most end up cracking their lcd in the process. I did on my first time.
I think what I learned after doing many was patience patience patience.......and heating the broken glass to the right temperature to soften the loca. private message me if you want additional suggestions. Hope this helps. Lance

Okay so I saw some of the videos on YouTube. It seems to be delicate work and I'm not sure someone as clumsy and impatient as me should undertake this task as possibly damage the LCD as well.
Does anybody know of someone/some repair shop who can do this well in India? Preferably in Hyderabad?

you can send it to me. the only problem is that I am in Florida.

That's not an "only" problem Sending you the phone, the cost of the spare glass & service charges would cost way more than getting the whole display unit replaced!
Thanks for the offer though.. I'll try to find someone locally.

Galaxy Note Digitizer

Looking for a Digitizer for my note! I just broke it LCD looks fine and touch screens works perfect. Just need the front glass. But I don't have paypal so I can't buy on ebay!
You can't replace the front glass only. You need to purchase a complete display assembly including the glass, digitizer, AMOLED display, Wacom digitizer, home button and the frame. It costs around 250 dollars.

So all the ebay listing with just the front glass screen are no good? My display and tocuhscreen work perfect.
Yes. You need the complete assembly.
Unless your a pro at removing glue/glass whule being sure not to crack lcd grab just digitizer. And only if you have ultimate patience.
Save yourself a headache a byt complete assembly. Trust me from a guy wasted alot of money on digitizers.

I'm a mobile device service tech too (I actually own the business) and you are correct. You have to replace the entire assembly. It is not possible to separate the screen and digitizer without damage... those people on eBay know full well that you can't and shouldn't be selling them.

You can if you have the right tools. I broke my digitizer awhile back and bought the digitizer only. Theres actually a thread around here. Only thing I didnt have was some good double sided tape that would have made everything alot easier.
The biggist issue on ebay with digitizer only are they dont come with preinstalled tape already attached. But a heat (blow dryer) and some good plastic(always only plastic) tools its not that difficult.
I had to purchase just the digitizer because when I cracked the screen, the full assembly wasnt available yet. Its not hard, just takes a little patience.
I eventually converted my note into a white version. Picture below is my old lcd with installed digitizer. I would still suggest to buy complete assembly. I have a guy on ebay that sells them pretty cheap and ships fast.
And daddymatt your missing out on some business.

Replacing Broken Glass

Hi all
I have a cracked screen on my Galaxy Nexus and want to replace it.
I know the digitizer is stuck to the glass but I've watched a video on YouTube and with a bit of time and patience it should come apart.
Has anyone successfully replace the glass and only the glass on the Galaxy Nexus?
I've seen some replacement glass on eBay for around $20 which doesn't seem too bad. But I want to know when you remove the old glass which would remove the glue holding the old glass on, do I need any glue to stick the new glass on and where would I find this so called glue?
I bought a used broken galaxy nexus off ebay that also has this issue and I am probably gonna try and fix it eventually. I ordered replacement glass off ebay for 15 dollars and its coming with little tools for the job aswell.
Did it come with stuff to stick the glass back on :s
I will probably pick it up on Monday so I can check then.

Any luck with this repair? It seems like there are people who say it can't be done and some who say it can. I've watched some videos on this topic as well but they never really show how to put the glass back on without getting air and dust trapped in between the digitizer and the glass.

I had the same issue with my Gnex, but after talking to private service guy,I replaced complete digitiser together with glass. The reason was simple.
As I get info from that guy, you will never be able to protect any dust to stay at digitiser area, so after some time phone will not recognise some touches,because of glue has to be used and it is not easy to cover complete area,that is why probably dust will come inside.
Anyway,those are informations I get from guy who is servicing/repairing all kinds of mobile phones, so this was his opinion and maybe there is better way,how to solve it.
I wish you good luck
It didn't come with glue .
I found this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WIQW3U/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 which seems like the right thing to me.

ty mate.. i will seriously think about it :good:
Any word on replacing the glass? I've been watching some videos about the process that includes everything except the regluing.
I found one video on the regluing process, but it shows the replacement in an industrial factory setting with an industrial autoclave vacuum to remove any air bubbles present.
I have also seen people on the YouTubes use 3mm wide double sided tape around the entire perimeter of the phone to reduce dust, but I can see potential issues with this method, as the factory method seems to apply a solid layer of adhesive material.
I would like to hear success stories, but I'm inclined to pop this thing open and give out a shot.

I thought the glue is not a must have parts,but samsung wont put the glue on without any reason. what i know about the glue is it will make ur glass much harder...

parts for galaxy s3 L710 and how to replace them

as many of you may know the glass on the galaxy s3 l710 not sure about the other models is not drop proof I think its just a scratch resistance glass not drop resistance glass I've seen many of post and youtube videos where folks have dropped there phone including me. and get crazy quotes to replace it. so I went digging for other options. first a little over view on the hardware of the phone there is the glass, touch screen digitizer,middle chassis, components that sit on the back of the middle chassis including mother board etc. and then the back cover.
the below youtube video shows how to take phone apart, its not hard just make sure u have the right tools. (very fine phillips head screw drivers etc)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHELvmoX0NY
this video explains why its wiser to go with the replacement touch screen digitizer assembly replacement vs glass replacement if done wrong you can brake the digitizer so best bet go with the digitizer assembly replacement.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkQZHU-SRC8
now here is what I call the exciting part, I have been hearing crazy prices for the touch screen digitizer between 300 and 500 dollars which is funny to me because the phone does not cost that much so the link below is to a website that sells parts for the phone at a very low prices.
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale/...30&groupsort=1
I see as low as 112 bucks. I ordered from the alieexpress before some of them ship the tools you need to disassemble the phone. I well be ordering my touch screen digitizer screen for the l710 in a week or two I'll keep you posted on the switch out. I cant wait to get it done I know a couple of phone part venders in the mall who swear you need to go the route with the heat gone etc and they can do it for me for 300 dollars yea right lol
Do you know of a place to get parts for the E4GT? I have a perfectly functional E4GT but it has a broken digitizer. The outer glass itself doesn't even have a scratch

Nice that looks legit,please post back and let me know how long it took to receive it and what your thoughts are on it.
Will be ordering Thursday, there are four color options. I have the white, I'm going to do the black glass, with the white and chrome and black back I think.
That will look good,I have the white s3,black s4,white s5, I use all dark backgrounds if there's an option and dark wallpapers with the black note4, it just looks nicer to me, that's why I got black this time,but I'd put the white back on myn,I actually never saw the white one in person to be honest I'll have to take a look.
Good luck swapping just the glass, its fused to the digitizer.

Got pics?
How did it turn out and where did you get the parts?
I don't have pics, I sold it literally the moment it was fixed. But I can say, the kit was 11.95 with amazon prime shipping. It was for the 910. The glass was cheap, but usable and came with tools. This lit used double sided tape, not loca and the glass didn't have a logo. I two toned it. I thought it would look better but just looked like knock off. But hey my buddy slapped down $690 and said he wants it so no complaints
Basically the concept is heating the glass so the adhesive between the digitizer and glass can be loose or let's say workable. I did this on my Galaxy Note 1 but kinda screwed up a bit. Trying to separate the glass from the digitizer is a pain on the butt because with what ever you use to separate it you can also risk scratching the digitizer. Also do not overheat as it can mess your screen up bad. Let's say all the job is cleanly done and you separated the glass still with the adhesive on the digitizer, put the new glass on the screen and with the heat gun/hair dryer put some heat on the glass to get the adhesive back to stikn mode. This is a simple but yet risky fix. In my experience with a new phone I'd pay the amount to get the screen fixed though idiots here in Georgia will try to rip you off saying you need a new digitizer as well. Hope it gives you a bit of info though look for vids about this before attempting on your own note 4
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app
They give you a clear wire between two rings to separate the screen. It was quite easy. Bunch of glue left over but rubbing alcohol and a light touch took care of that. The trick was to have someone else heating as you slowly work it. I think the fix would of looked a bit better with loca I feel.

Hi!
Any update since October? I`m facing the same issue. I have googled a bit and found some complaints related to LCDs from Aliexpress claiming that they are no so bright and blurry, sometimes with white spots.
I have also find only a glass replacement https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5-7...lgo_pvid=aec8908f-0e28-4202-a650-ab20f3981970

But... also a lot people claims that the LCD is almost inseparable from glass... Do anyone have an experience with only glass replacement?
I found a local service that claims to be able to do that.. but I do not know whether to trust them not destroy the LCD. The said, that they do not have an experience with Le Max 2 but with other phones.

If you can get the fast delivery, then you can give it a go. Although it's a risky operation,it might be alright in the end. The service should have some experience if they say that for other brands/phones they have succeeded. It might be ok, but always keep in mind that something might go wrong. And it's not worth waiting 2 months for the glass and another 2 for the display.
Edit: you can google the process and you will see how it's done for other phones. They need to have special devices.

Thanks for such a fast reply. I already did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRqSyZk1SOU It seems to be very tricky. I have relatively fast delivery about 2-3 weeks so I`ll give it a try with only a glass an digitizer http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-LeEco-L...966586?hash=item58e23ffdba:g:z4wAAOSw-kdXxPkl.
I`ll write a review after the whole process is done for future reference
Very difficult. They make it look easy on youtube. I attempted a glass only repair on a nexus 6. You have to have correct amount of heat, and the LCD is very fragile. Too much heat will damage the display, but you need enough heat to soften the loca glue to be able to separate the glass from the lcd.. I even had a scientific dry bath at my disposal to get the right temp.. Not worth a home repair attempt IMO.
Cost of the le max 2 is just the reason I bought this phone (vs a $600+ device) and put on tempered glass from Ali express for less than $2. Will you consider replacing your phone for $200?
My wife broke her tempered glass protector twice on the max 2. Easy fix, just replaced the tempered glass cover. I'm just saying I learned the hard way, on a more expensive Nexus 6. I wasn't aware of tempered glass protectors then. Even after destroying my lcd (by trying a glass-only repair) and ending up buying the lcd+glass assembly, I still didn't get the phone's frame tight with the display assembly to make it acceptable.
I tried to repair lcd once for another phone. It took me 1h just to disassemble the phone, and half an hour more to try to carefully separate lcd from digitizer. I failed and then there was no point spending another hour puting the phone back together and had to throw all those tiny parts to the garbage. Think about this before you try.
Home repairs of such kind are a no go. This is why I encourage him to go to the repair shop where they do that kind of repairs to the screen. They do have a special heated plate with temperature adjustment, a vacuum device that eliminates any bubbles between the lcd and glass, etc. Also do note that not all the repair shops are doing this. Most of them are collecting phones for the specialized shops and charge an extra fee.
In conclusion, this kind of repair is not for everybody, and it would be best done in a specialized repair shop. For reference, check the following video:
I know it's written in romanian and for an Allview, but I guess that most of the things are understandable to get the idea of how complicated the whole process is for any home attempt.
So, after a month in repair center I have my phone back. The screen is an original one with digitizer changed. Between digitizer and screen there are some bubbles, buttons are switched, like back is on a left instead of right and the bugged issue... They are very undeterministic and do not always work and sometimes they work without even touching so... Apps are switching and so on... I needed to disable them and use gestures instead.
The repair was about 40USD and digitizer 15 USD... It is hard to say whether it was worth it or exchange the complete screen.

I'm the owner of the repair shop. I can take care of this phone, but I'm living on the other end of the world. Is there any career that can deliver something to you from Europe?

I can personally recommend this vendor. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...32820735893.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.xEXMor
Replacing the screen + digitiser on this model is pretty easy provided you have access to a hot air gun. Took me about 15 minutes and I'm in NO WAY a pro. For the price of a new screen I definitely wouldn't attempt a digitizer-only repair.

And I can say, It's same as the original one in every detail(Even production date so close). Replacement is very easy with tool that came with screen.
BTW, You have to buy glue(B6000,E7000,T8000 or whatver) for fix it in place.
