Is this all I need?

Thanks in advance!
as someone who's done the repair twice. Don't buy from ebay as they sell cheaper knockoffs.
Its actually pretty complicated and almost worth the money to send it in for repair.
Really.
i disagree, the repair was fairly easy if youre following a guide. ive done it once and taken mine completely apart twice. the most difficult part was separating the broken glass from the rubber part where it is mounted and getting the bottom part of the phone off without breaking it or leaving marks. I used spray adhesive to seal the new digitizer to the mount. I bought mine from amazon, just about the same price and came with prying tools. it was good quality with only a single miniature air bubble in the glass which is only noticeable if youre really looking for it on a full white screen.
if only your glass is broken that is all you should need, the digitizer. if the lcd is cracked or bleeding you will need that as well.

I recently dropped my hd2 and the glass around the lens broke off now the lens is exposed. is there a case that will cover it or a camera lens replacement.
Update: I know im not the only one in America with a glass crack where my lens is and would like to know where to get this fixed or a part site?
I just dropped and broke my camera lens as well today.
mines also cracked after 2 weeks of use....called customer service and they did a manufacturer's warranty and got the replacement right away
Check on eBay - they have direct replacement lenses - OEM. You will have to figure out a way to get some double sided tape to mount it for most of them.
VERY CHEAP - fortunately they are available.
found a replacement on ebay. you dont need to take apart phone or anything. i just super glued around the lens and popped in. good as new.
if $ is not an option look at this...

They are cheaper on ebay. just ordered one.
Get the Otterbox Defender. I think it is the only case out there truly protecting the camera lens.
i have a cracked camera lens..how do i take it off?
Since it's already cracked, use a knife or something and carefully pry into the cracked area and pull up the cracked glass. Thats how I did it. Just becareful not to push too hard.
is there like walktrhough guide video for this?
Sorry, theres no video or walk through that I know of. As long as you pry off the broken lens its simple from there. Just pry off the lens and then just stick the new one in. Theres not much more than that. You don't have to take the phone apart or anything.
A small sewing needle is a great tool to use. Just pry out the broken piece or you can even do it from the side. What I found when I did it was that there was a ring of adhesive that is difficult to reset correctly once you take the broken lens out. I actually just took the needle and scraped off the adhesive and placed the new lens in so that it's below the surface (beveled, I guess you could say). It stays in just like the old one -- otherwise you'll scratch it the minute you put it down on the table.

What happens if it breaks again now that you used super glue?
...I used some 3M double sided tape and a hole punch. I cut it to size and punched a hole in the middle...carefully cleaned all the old adhesive off and dropped it in. Its not going anywhere and absolutely no dust can get under it...if it breaks again (which it may...so I ordered two because the price was so cheap) it will be much easier to remove than super glue.
So one week into having my incredible, it drops on the sidewalk (2days before my rugged case came in) and the glass cracked/shattered. the lcd is still completely intact. I was looking at this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00424O7JK/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A3MB8KL7VKZGWY . And was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. I have replaced other screens in other electronic devices, but was looking for any tips specific to the inc or any recommendations on a replacement glass.
I bought mine off ebay and swapped it out. My opinion is to spend the money and buy the whole front housing. Removing the broken glass from the front housing was a MAJOR pain. If you are insistant, make sure you have a good straight razor and flathead screw driver for removing the sticky residue. Head to the local hardware store and get some double-sided tape. If you look in the Epoxy area, i found some double sided rubber material, like what they use for sticking pamphlets together, only a lot stronger. If you dont get it sealed real well, be prepared for lint to get between the screen and LCD. That is the major problem i ahve on mine. Like i said, definitely worth the money to buy the full front housing.
Thanks for the advice. I saw on some videos what a pain it was to get the old glass and adhesive out, but the cheapest I could find the glass with housing already attached was $99 vs $28 for the glass. I wish I would've seen your post prior to ordering. Oh well, we shall see. Thanks also for the advice on the double sided tape. I was looking at it online, but didn't thing to look in just a local harware store for it. I think i'm going to try some medical adhesive remover for the old glue, the only problem is I'm going to have to be really careful around the four buttons on the bottom. It is nice to see that someone has done it successfully though.
You can get the glass and the bezel seperate, but make sure the bezel has adhesive on the entire surface or else you'll get dust in the screen... I fixed mine though and it looks great. Ill post pics later
Guys my phone's faceplate is damaged... one of the corner is scratched , even though its metal.
My phone is under warranty.
Can any one recommend me what to do?
Like should i go to a LG service center or is there an alternative way to buy it any where online in India.
Please provide a link for the latter
Yeah, i have the similar problem but i just use a CASE to hide the SCRATCHES,
You should try it.
I don't understand what you mean, the only metal on the phone is the back where it says "With GOOGLE". The silver side surround is plastic.
It is possible to replace the screen surrounding plate (its plastic with metal effect) without replacing the digitizer? I found that they are offered as s single part.

You can, but the bezel is stick to the digitizer using 3M adhensive, and is very hard to remove... (I disassembled the unit before, to replace my LCD and the digitizer, and the frame)
Take a look at ebay for replacement
the plastic metal effect its one with the groilla display they all make the front cover and you need to replace all front cover, a pay for mine 90€ in the lg services because my gorrila display was scrath a the metal plastic too.
Has anyone done this yet?
I want to restore the IncS to new from some case scratches but I read and see it seems like a tough job...

Took it apart last week. Wasn't too bad. The only hard part is heating up the adhesive and removing the digitizer glass and lcd display. One word of advice: pay the money for the pry tool.

Can anyone please point me to a source for ascreen assembly that doesn't cost $30 less than buying a used N6? $150+ is just out of the question....at that price I could just shell out another $50 and get a brand new Moto G4.
Thanks!!!

You can look around on AliExpress (beware of offers that sound too good to be true), but screens for the N6 are notoriously expensive.
You get what you pay for.
The few times I have saved money by dealing with "questionable" suppliers ended up costing me more.
Amoled and Oled screens are not cheap... Every phone that share those types of display is not cheap to repair , more than this N6 spot a 2k display. Similar display on Samsung devices cost the same. Your only bet is to buy a used one or a refurbished unit that will cost almost the same as new. I m a computer technician and I repair smartphones, when I get amoled devices to repair, I give the customer only one chose : original or to not repair, because refurbished displays ( aliexpress or Chinese units??) Always has some problems (colour, sensitivity ecc) due to the whole process of refurbishment
Well that sucks. I guess this one's going to the boneyard. Thanks for the advice
yeah, just cracked my nexus 6 today (dropped it off my ear onto driveway) while taking trash can in with 2 hands full. It had a slim case but corner drop cause shattered glass screen. Digitizer assembly costs $130. Could try removing cracked glass and buy new glass screen at $10 but process of removing glass looks very painful (also requires optical clear glue and UV light to cure the glue (or leave out in sunlight X 2 hours), especially with risks of bubbles, debris getting stuck in glue, breaking digitizer removing glass and old glue.
Ended up buying used Nexus 6 on Swappa for $130 with tiny chip at corner but does not affect viewing or touching areas. I plan on reenforcing this chip with epoxy resin so it won't spread with future drops. Also getting a full-size case with corner protection for this used phone.
