Well I spent 50 dollars on screen protectors (none was good enough for me on that phone , several issues)
So I am using only a pouch and till now its fine.
If you get scratches depends only on you , your use and your luck
there are many threads about scratched SGS (sand in the pants?, falling down on some stuff etc). What I recall is not putting it naked to the pants should help. A good pouch should be good enough for it
Btw you might already have some scratches on it check carefully

Search Gorilla Glass .

i use a low cost (cheap) screen protector and it makes it easier to slide your finger across the screen.

[BIG PROBLEM , SCREWED?]Screen Defect

Hello,
Well , I have a big problem with my SGS at the moment , the problem is that my screen is defect. Well , the screen still works as it should(touch , thank god) but I has alot of big scratches.
Believe it or not , but I dropped my sgs like 3 times before on 1 meter height on hard underground , It survived without scratches , btw I dont know if it did land on the screen so maybe thats the reason why my screen survived before. But today i was sitting and I had the phone in my pocket and when I wanted to stand up it dropped out of my pocket on the ground , from 0,5 meters height on a soft floor(carpet) but I discovered those big scratches and I was shocked
/Now the important part , is there any way to repair this???
By putting new glass on the screen or something? Maybe there is someone who experienced the same and knows how and where it got repaired?
Thanks in advance,
Picture of the state of my screen in attachments , sorry for the vga webcam quality.

Looks like the glass got shattered.
There would be no way to fix a Crack or a Scratch. You will have to replace the Digitizer and Display.

Dude, that's why you should use screen protector on it.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry man. Some people just wouldn't use screen protector, but 1-5€ could have saved you from this.

'Defect' LOL. My car was 'defective' after I wrapped it around a telephone pole.
Would a screen protector prevent a shatter like that? Perhaps to a limited extent but I though they were mainly for scratches.
I do my SGS bareback. No significant scratches yet, I think last time I cleaned the screen up and looked really close I could see one tiny line.
I've dropped once onto pavement (dented the bezel) and once on a wood floor (flew out of my hand as I whipped it out and bounced across the room lol).

Sorry sir , if your screen(or glass whatever)is shattered. In fact , its also defect. 1. a lack of something necessary for completeness or perfection; shortcoming; deficiency
But who cares?
Looks like these general subboard is full of trolls , I'm asking for advice where and how to repair your screen when its in a state like this? All I get is people who try to act smart or whatever you wanna call it.
Just dont post if you cant make sense

Thanks , never thought of looking @ assecories bord xD

You could try and replace it yourself which is probably cheaper or you can ring samsung and tell them what happened and have them replace it/send a new phone for you. Obviously it would cost you.

@dehem333
Very sad to hear that loss...
I have no idea how to fix it. But I pray that it gets fixed someway.
Wish u best of luck!

Well just replacing the glass is not gonna work because the touch digitizer and the glass are like one. So you,ll have to buy it completely new. Also its not easy to replace it. Its glued together. Youll need to be handy.
If your buying off ebay make sure its an amoled screen. Alot of lcds on ebay.

Cracked glass

Hi cracked my screen. I already read about sgs screens. But i found on ebay only glass. Is that possible to change only first glass?

I dont think so but you can check youtube
or wait other members to verify it

Omg how that happend? You dropped it?

i think the safest would be to take it to a lab
in case u know how to handle hardware...

This should have been asked in the Q&A forum.
The difference between the galaxys and note is that the note has a wacom touchscreen & pen. The galaxys only has a touchscreen and does not support pens like the note has.

i dont think you understand me,
I repair smartphone,s and sell them. Normally a touchscreen contains of a plate of glass (digitzer) and the lcd screen that is under the digitzer. so you look trough the digitzer at the lcd and the digitzer register what you are doing with you finger. So, the galaxy S1 en the galaxy S plus has a screen within a digitzer or somthing. On ebay you can buy glass frontplate (not a digitzer a glass frontplate) what fell over the screen, but i dont find a video how you can instal these. normally you can simply put the lcd and the digitzer out but if you do that by a s1 you scratch the screen.

From what I can see there, it is a single unit. So I would guess you could not only replace the digitizer.

As i recall they are glued together and really hard to separate,that's also why u rarely see dust and moist under the glass of the sgs

I had a broken glass and i had to change the hole unit. It is very expensive. Glass and lcd costs 170 €.

wintel is right. The digitizer is fused/glued onto the LCD screen directly. There's no easy way to separate the two. Theoretically you can buy the two separately, but then you will have to find a way to glue the two together yourself.

Nexus 7 LCD display buyer beware.

There are guys on eBay selling the LCD only for the Nexus 7. Any potential buyers beware, the LCD is fused to the glass and digitizer. I don't even see how these LCD's could be useful. It would be a pain in the ass to separate the digitizer and glass. This will not help you if you have a broken glass display.
Do your research before you attempt to save money and try to repair your own Nexus 7.
Just a heads up. I've heard about people doing this for other devices.

Not true. You are still likely to break it when you drop the device
Good advice is to not drop your device

but it is less likely with a case .. .that's the whole point isn't it? :laugh:

I wouldn't necessarily warn people not to buy this. I broke the screen on my Skyrocket, and the replacement I bought was with the glass and LCD glued together. If the price is right, there's no issue with replacing both at all.

I dropped my Nexus 7 from about 5 feet the other day straight onto tile, and no damage at all thanks to my amazing case. I was about to mourn deeply had it been cracked at all. You just gotta make sure you get the case with padding over the corners. That's usually where the hardest impact is.

Which case do you have?
Sent from my Google Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I used to have the screen unresponsive issue and had my Nexus 7 sent back to Asus for repairing. The technician had my whole LCD module repaced, which included the LCD and the glass and the touch panel (or whatever it's called). So, I believe it's supposed to come as a whole package in the first place.
You break a part of it, you have the whole LCD module exchanged.

Op, you might wrong. They do come fused together in all new devices I have disassembled. I have changed my cracked screen several times on galaxy S2, HTC desire HD, HD2 and iPhone 4, it meant changing both the lcd and touch panel since they are fused together to avoid dust and other particles getting in between.

The LCD is fused to the digitizer on the Nexus 7. Your argument is invalid, and your attitude towards the OP is unnecessary and unwarranted.

I can see if you just need an LCD that being an option. I'm just trying to inform people that the LCD is fused to the glass and that buying just the LCD won't help you much unless you want to remove the broken LCD from the digitizer and glass. (Sounds like a pain in the arse)
I did not buy this LCD or get ripped off. Its just a buyer beware post. Don't want anybody to waste their money thinking they found a cheap fix.

is there a way to easily unfuse/seperate the lcd and glass/digitizer,
my lcd broke but the digitizer works and glass is good

They fuse them together to make the combo thinner, among other reasons. Separating the two will likely be difficult, if not impossible.

You use an hairdryer. Heat it up then it will come apart, If it's like the S3. My mate saw it on YouTube when he broke just the glass on his, but made an arse of it and bought both in the end.

+1 for the hairdryer treatment. It's the poor man heat gun. You'll find most, if not all devices have a bonded digitizer/LCD combo. I've repaired a many an htc device and they were all like that although the worst ones to do are ipads. They're well made with plenty of glue and real glass. I burnt out an one hairdryer dong it. Good job I'm bald otherwise I'd have very wet hair
