Hey guys, good day.
My HTC Desire Eye screen cracked (I accidentally dropped it) and it really looks horrible. I am planning to replace the screen myself, and I am asking if anyone repaired their phone by themselves as well. I'll be buying the parts needed in eBay. I am also wondering if I can only replace the glass and not with the LCD? The LCD screen still looks impeccable despite the cracked glass and touch works perfectly. However, I am yet to find a tutorial that shows replacement of the glass module only.
Thank you very much in advance.

U can find tutorial on YouTube. And yes you have to replace entire screen not just the glass.
My advice is get it replaced from a expert. It doesn't cost much. Also buy original screen don't get a bad one.

I have recently bought a HTC mozart. I recently broke the glass of the touch screen. The touch screen still works and everythings alright except for the glass. Ive seen replacement screens on ebay. Does anyone know how to change the touch screen on the mozart? thx
That is not good news, I cracked the screen on my HD2 and I had to send it away to get replaced. With the HD2 it is a tough job as the lcd and the glass are attached and it is difficult to change glass only. I replaced glass and lcd.
Unfortunately I was not much help, but I feel your pain.
Good luck..

My brother's HTC Desire (AMOLED version) kind of had a misadventure and now the touch panel is cracked. Does the whole screen assembly (digitiser and AMOLED panel) have to be replaced (like the iPhone 4), or can just the digitiser be replaced?
How easy is it to replace it?
got any pics, so we can see how damaged it is

you basically have to take apart the ENTIRE phone to get to the front. It ain't worth it.
Yeah you do have to take most of the phone apart to get to the digitizer but it's really not that hard. I did it on mine about 6 months ago.
There is a really good video on youtube that shows you ever step of the way and if you buy a digitizer already stuck to the front case part (rather than just the glass) then it's even easier (that's what I did).
Here's the link - have a look and see if you would be comfortable doing it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXZqIjtFoAU
Took me about half an hour all up but that's because i was taking my time to try and be careful. If you do end up doing it I can help you with who suplied my part (around AU$70) and some tips to watch out for..
Tas..
ps. that's of course if the AMOLED screen is still ok ? just a cracked digitizer/glass ?
I cracked the front of mine 2 days after I got it
Ordered a replacement digitizer of ebay and changed it out in about 20 mins using thye already mentioned youtube video.
Separating the digitizer glass from the case is really easy just blast it with a hair drier and it comes apart with no problems.
if only the digitizer is cracked then that's all you need to replace but if the crack is in the amoled as well then obviously it's both but it is not more work since you have to pull the amoled to get to the digitizer anyway
Hey guys, i read through a couple of threads about cacked screens but im still a little confused. i droped my phone and the bottom half of the screen cracked, i can still use the phone without any problems. so do i need a digitizer or new lcd??
digitizer is the glass part that you touch, lcd is the screen itself. If you can see a full picture, then the lcd is fine.

Ok thanks, my phone is still in perfect working condition. just the glass is all cacked up, so now i need to find a cheap digitizer..
Ebay
Sent from my EVO
My friend found one off amazon for like $13-15 I can't remember. I looked it up too and it was about the same. He didn't have any issues replacing the glass either. If you have the insurance you might try a sprint store, or a authorized sprint store. I bought a Epic fro ma coworker and it had a cracked screen, took it to the repair place and they did it for free. (after making the phone my wifes main phone)
Hi today i just cracked my 2 days old n7100, the crack wasn't bad but it's definitely visible.
I'm not planning to send it to a shop to repair the screen cuz it's just too expensive.
I want to replace the screen by myself. So i just wanna ask you guys, is it possible to just replace the glass screen and not the whole thing?
Because the screen and digitizer is working fine. Just some visible hairline crack on the device itself.
So, can i just disassemble and replace the glass screen ?
Thanks guys!
You can replace glass only . its a bit annoying job but it possible... Patience ... And only patience. Here is video for s3 glass replacement . Note2 the same way. Glass you can buy from eBay for 20-30$.

You will be better off replacing the whole glass digitizer and lcd as its more difficult to replace just the glass also base on my experience with replacing the glass, it may pop up after sometime as with my HTC phone. Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxgZeb5QytM and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=qhd5KwgopZo&NR=1 Good luck
N7100 screen replacement! PLEASE HELP
i think i'd rather buy the whole lcd + digitizer from what i know it's easier to replace since i don't have to seperate the digitizer with the adhesive
N7100 screen replacement! PLEASE HELP
Thanks alot ndmuni
Hey guys, today I dropped my Desire HD and the screen cracked. The touchscreen works fine, so my guess is that the LCD is not affected, only that glass ontop of it. Is there any way I can change it without replacing the whole LCD screen?

If it's just the glass that's cracked and everything else is fine (No visible cracks/defects in the LCD itself) then you just need to get a new Digitizer. This is the glass panel on top of the LCD that picks up the touch input.
You can pick them up for pretty cheap on ebay, postage will depend on where you live. In my case I can get one for €18 from an English seller including postage to Ireland so should be similarly priced for wherever you live.

Also here's a video with instructions on how to replace the Digitizer.
