Checking to see if anyone knows of or has a source (other than eBay) for screen replacements for the focus. I've got a badly cracked screen that I'd like to replace, but samsung direct wants $156 and the cheapest on ebay is $98.xx coming from overseas. Everyone I found via google is in the $120's give or take now as well.
Kindof kicking myself for not picking one up when I had the 10% off ebay coupon and there were US sources at $98.
Just bought 2 screens from a wholesaler. Installed one and its working great. Need sim card replacement tray now. Can't find them anywhere. If anyone has a link please let me know.

I'd like to know where you got the screens too.
www.wholesalegadgetparts.com, US wholesaler, $99.00 bucks, BBB rated etc... I just ordered one.
******** UPDATE, this seller is legit. Fast shipping, and the new digitizer/screen is flawless.
How about some info on disassembly and replacement?
So, if your 2 year old is like mine, he's quite efficient at shattering your phone's screen. SO, I went online and found a replacement screen and set sbout installing it myself. I make no claim at any sort of electrical know-how... Damn it Jim, I'm a med student not an electrician. But I do enjoy my gadgets. Anyway, I went online and found some you-tube videos and successfully changed out the screen! Woo-Hoo! I used a hybrid of the two videos as one of them seemed a little too, much but it had a good rebuild sequence.
The first video has a good description of how to remove the screen (I didn't use the hair dryier and it worked just fine), and the second shows how to put it back. The second video should also be good to show how to replace other thinsg (camera, etc.).

I hope this helps people out there make their own replacements a success!
I have a cracked glass, the LCD and digitizer are fine. I have found someone that sells the outer glass for $16. My question is if I can get the digitizer off the old glass and onto the new one.
I honestly don't want to spend $100 on a screen replacement when I can buy a slightly used one for $150...

On ebay is 12dlls the glass, somebody told me that they fix it in a mall were i am from (Mexico) they heat the screen to disolve the glue but i'm not sure about this. The total of the price should be like 35dlls the replacement.

OK, so I found the housing I was looking for and ordered a replacement digitizer from Ebay(on mine the screen started to chip), but the one I ordered came and when I put it on, it was so blurry I almost couldn't read a text or email. So I figured I would check here and see if anyone had an extra digitizer to sell me. Send me a PM if you do. Thanks
dont know if u have one yet, but u got a generic or chinese HTC digitizer
if u order one from the US it will be better.
I got housing+digitizer from hong kong, it looks perfect. Price was $26 shipped. I have my old digitizer, slightly scratched 1 year+ of use in pocket. If you interested.
I also got a housing and digitizer from hong kong but the digitizer was fuzzy, they sent a replacement and it is good, but the last digitizer i bought was from - http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370351357459&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

If you are in USA, then I highly recommend this link (below). Tried several others, not as good and cost more. This one shows digitizer separate from front housing bezel in picture. But they come put together. You get both for less cost than dubious quality digitizer alone elsewhere.

Damn it. I just dropped my SGS from about a foot and a half off the floor and the glass/screen cracked. The phone still works fine but I don't think I can live with it like this. Is it possible to get it fixed? How expensive an endeavor is it to get the glass replaced?
Edit: I don't know if it makes any difference but it's really just the glass that is broken. The display still looks fine and works fine. I'm not sure how these things are constructed and if just the glass can be replaced or if the entire thing needs to be changed. I'm worried that by continuing to use it and carry it around in my pocket that the display may become damaged.
What are the chances that I can get samsung or bell to replace it outright if I stress test it and the SD/motherboard fails again.

If you decide to change the screen on your own, check my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745262. Replacing my own screen thru repair service would have cost 250€ and by changing it by myself it cost 90€. These days you can get new screen from ebay with ~50€.
Where did you spend the extra 40€ above the cost of the screen? I've not read anything about the repair process but did find some ebay listings for replacement screens for $55, which isn't bad at all.

Phone was very new on the market when I bought the screen. That's the reason why screen cost 90€ then. 2 weeks after I bought it the price dropped to ~50€
Standard story, cracked lcd.
Been looking around ebay for a screen and its catastrophically expensive. Anyone have some faulty dell or a working screen to sell me? I have pay pal and will pay for device + shipping.
If anyone can help I would be very gratefull.

That's the part you need. Ask them if tools come with that. You will need a plastic pry tool and very-very small screwdriver
I can see that 1st 2 parts to dissasemble are glued to the device, how will I put them back? Is that some special glue?

I ordered from here last time I broke the screen:
"New users can't post urls"
Search ebay user love-for-america
Fast shipping and REALLY came from Anaheim, CA in a US Postal Service Priority Mail box. I'm in San Diego so it took just a couple days. There is one green pixel when the screen is supposed to be black but most of the time it's not noticeable and it's a whole lot better than trying to live with half of the screen bleeding. $106 with tools and free shipping.
I dropped my phone today and the screen cracked. It's still usable, just has two ugly cracks along the front. Anyone know of a easy way to replace the screen?

Might as well have Motorola replace it, it costs $175 for a new device, but you have to mail them you're busted one first.

Agreed. I had a similar issue and had an overall good experience with Motorola repair. Took about ten days from start to finish.

Pretty much. Start at their online repair site:
https://motorola-global-portal.cust...ZS8xNDUxMjUxNzM4L3NpZC9zSnk3cDJGbQ==#/service
So I contacted Motorola and they will fix it for $175 and if I want it back fast I would have to pay another $40 in s/h. With that amount of money, I could just buy a brand new one for another $50. Any thoughts?

Yes it's 250 on Amazon. Probably a better choice.
Also do yourself a favor and buy a case
OK but now I'm in a dilly of a pickle... I have the option to buy the 6p. My concerns are that the 6 isn't gonna receive anymore love now that it's going on two years old. Would it be wise to purchase the 6 again? Or should I just upgrade to the 6p? I love the 6, I do. But...and yes there's always a but lol. But the 6p intrigues me. I've researched and I know its not much of an upgrade but I love the thought of the fingerprint scanner and the overall look of it. But it is slightly smaller in size and I'm a big dude...but (there it goes again), I could always get a case to make up the difference... Anyways, I would love you guys feedback on my first world dilemma lol. Thanks!
get the 6 and save the money for the next nexus 6 upgrade before the end of next year with a proper cpu like the 820
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Just an update if anyone cares lol. I went ahead upgraded to the 6p. Farewell my fellow shamu-ers. If anyone is interested in purchasing my 6, pm me. Good day.
If you still have the phone and aren't afraid of breaking it you could try a glass only replacement. I have never done it before until yesterday. I ordered the wire from eBay and made a simple jig to hold the wire so I had both hands. I successfully removed the glass. Hooked it back up still works. Am waiting for the new glass and loca glue (didn't order it until I removed old glass so wasn't waisting money if I broke it. I did practice on 2 junk phones first. Only one of the test screens worked before and it still worked after. YouTube videos is what I followed.

This. It's not worth the extra $400 for the 6P just for a bit more dev love.

Would you care to share your links in what you did?
If better camera and finger print sensor and more comfortable phone in hand is whats important to you i would dive in. I buy 3 phones a year so i can understand you wanting to upgrade even if its not that big of an upgrade . But at this point there won't be any giant leaps from year to year .

Here is a link to glass and t3 torque screwdriver. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=361337407585&alt=web
I got all the parts on ebay. Used the cheapest I could find from us sellers. You need a loca glu. I used a uv flashlight I got on eBay to cure the glue. Have to put it on all parts of glass for about 30 seconds each spot.
Here is the link to the wire I used
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111281188717&alt=web
I drilled 2 holes in a 2x10 block of wood about 8" apart and put the wire holding sticks in the holes. Watch YouTube videos to see how to take phone apart
It worked pretty good for me. I ended up with 2 small air bubbles under the glass and glass is slightly lifted on one side. Cannot notice once in cheap tpu case.
I used a locktite glue that takes 24hrs to cure to glue screen back to bezel. Cleaned with close pins while curing. Tried double sided tape didn't hold, krazy glue dried to hard didn't hold screen to bezel. I think all my trial and error and scraping and reglueing the bezel is why it is lifted.
Sorry took so long to reply. Just glued the screen on 2 days ago.
And I am in no way saying this is easy just that it was no where near as hard as I thought it would be. You could easily completely break screen trying this
Update. Screen works fine but... The locktite worked the best but is coming undone again. I believe I may have had the loca glu to thick. And made the screen thicker in doing so. And when I put it together it is pressing out. Am thinking of reseperating and reglueing. Any advice is welcomed
Dropped my Mi Mix (in case, on corner) and had a little luck in that only the outer glass cracked. Touchscreen and all of the normal phone functions still working, I'd just like to get this glass replaced as I see the parts are pretty cheap.
However...I can't find any guides for how to replace this piece of the phone. Found what was basically an entire Mi Mix strip down...except this 1 outer glass piece. ^.^
Any tips or can someone point me in the right direction?

Sorry to hear about this. There are no guides available as far as I know, except the few disassembly videos on YouTube which you may have already seen.
What case were you using by the way? And from what approximate height did you drop the phone?
You can buy the full LCD assembly here
http://www.cellspare.com/mi-mix-spare-parts/xiaomi-mi-mix-lcd-screen-with-digitizer-module-black
Replacing the front glass without damaging the LCD will be very tricky.
I myself have a chipped corner, however I would get the assembly before attempting a glass replacement.
Here is an even cheaper one

Anyone have experience replacing the outer glass? Not just if i want to drop $120+ to replace the whole LCD screen at this moment.

Think best idea would be to replace the lot, they never split good and watch takedown video 10 X before you attempt it.

Any feedback or follow up on this?
Same dilemma, not trying to replace the entire screen - just the glass.
It'd be nice to pick up the glass and find someone to do the repairs instead.
I busted my screen on my mi mix and bezel. I am looking for a technician professional to fix my device is there any place online that can do this? I searched but couldn't find anything. I would do it myself but I'm afraid I'll fail. I just need the bezel and glass changed.
NEW Mi Mix
I bought my Mi Mix about 3 years ago. I really love this phone, but just last month, the glass started separating from the frame, my flash doesn't work and about 2 years ago, I got a small chip in the glass on the top right corner. I take superlative care of my phones, so don't know why I started having these issues. I started looking for another one to replace it and wasn't having any luck. Then, I came across this link on DH Gate. I first was rather skeptical, but ordered it anyway. The seller had it listed for $192.
I charged it with a credit card so I could always dispute it later if it turned out to be a hoax. I chose expedited shipping and sure enough, the seller sent it with Fed-Ex and it was delivered to me in 3 days from China to Texas. It was only the phone. Didn't have any accessories, except a clear TPU case. No original box, but I didn't care about that.
It was a fine transaction and I'm happy with the phone. It had some strange developer ROM on it that I re-flashed with another ROM with TRWP. The TWRP versions for lithium did not work, but I found a TWRP version by mrraines that works.
The only problem with it is that the theme and mi store are in Chinese. No matter what I do, I cannot get them to display in English. I've flashed it several times and I got the closest version that I could find that was close to the original Marshmallow ROM on my original. It's working great, though and I did root it, just flashed SUPER SU with TWRP. You have to use the MI unlock tool, but I didn't have to wait and the unlock procedure worked immediately. Anyway, in case you want to order a new one, here is the link for the one that I ordered. I can verify that the one that I got was BRAND NEW, not refurbished or used. Absolutely perfect, no scratches or marks on it. I looked it over with a magnifying glass and found no marks of use.
https://www.dhgate.com/product/orig...5199967.html?skuid=563545286555742208#seo=WAP
Pay the extra $20 and use the expedited shipping and you'll have the phone in several days.
Cheers,
Frank

Thank you for the link i appreciate it! The crack on my mix isnt very bad but it does annoy the hell outa me lol. That crack is the only thing thats wrong with my device, theres no screen burn or any other issues just a crack across my screen and the bezel is damaged slightly from the impact. When i get another device ill probably get the OnePlus 7 pro the reason is because the front camera is hidden i very rarely use a camera. I dont need a front camera and i really like how OnePlus designed a device with a hidden front camera.
You might also consider the Xiaomi Mi9T. I bought a Mi9 off of facebook marketplace from a lady who bought it but never used it. Then they came out with the Redmi K20, which is only for Asian countries. Then they released the Mi9T.
I bought it mostly for the beatiful back. I got the red one. It has a pop-up camera. No bloatware on it.
I bought mine from Banggood.com, but Amazon also has them. I don't know what country you're in, but I'm in Texas, USA.
NO NOTCH!! I have several phones with notches, and hate them. I have 45 phones and my latest is the Galaxy Note 10+.
So I now have 4 Xiaomi phones and love them. I use Mint Mobile, which runs off of T-mobile towers and the data speeds are fantastic where I live. They also came out with the Mi9T PRO, which has the cooling system.
