Hi,
Has anyone done a 2.5D Glass only replacement on the Redmi note 4? I asked a repair shop and he said that the display and the glas come together and I will have to replace both. But then what is the point of this? They are selling just the front glass.
It's posibble, but it requires specific tools and a lot of experience! Nobody will do that! The work would cost more then a half of the phones price. It's better and easier to replace the both together. It's arround 20-25 Euro or 30$.

Why will it cost more than half ?

Because the phone cost like 150$, depends on version. Whoever will try to do that it will take much more than just a little heat. And he need to be very careful not to damage the display. So, that work costs. Not much, but when you compare to the price of the phone... You can do the math. And the display and touch together cost around 20$.
Hello, sorry I hijacked the thread, but it's a similar issue.
today is very bad for me. I broke the glass of the phone. Only 4 days, new phone...
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 , international model with SnapDragon.
What glass/ screen+glass I have to buy? For Note4 MTK or for Note4x ?
On the outside the phones are similar, but the internals are different. I don't know what to choose

The 4x is exactly the same at the global version that's why when you wanna buy a case you usually search for note 4x

I broke the glass of my rn4 after dropping it from waist level.. got just the glass replaced for 1000₹ whereas full display assembly was 3000₹.. the replaced glass is not 2.5d..
One adv is that now any tempered glass cn be applied
One disadv is that there latency in touch.. touch doesnt feel fluidic anymore.. but overall its working fine.. no major handicap..
Hope that is helpful.. cheers
The best option is to buy a new screen and replace it yourself.
Why? Because all the internals are installed on the screen, so it's impossible to change only the touch. I broke my redmi note 4 screen and replaced it myself. It's easy, just need to be patient. I got the replacement on Aliexpress and it was around 20 USD. For the tutorial, i followed this one:
Edit: I can't post links yet, so look for this video on youtube "How to Replace Your Redmi Note 4x/Redmi Note 4 Global Screen".
Btw, if you are going to buy the screen, buy a Note 4x one, because most of Note 4 screens on Aliexpress are for the MTK version.
Can you tell me please from which seller in aliexpress to buy a new screen? There are a lot of sellers, but according to some feedbacks the screen are not original and not the same quality,
Thanks

I dropped my Samsung Focus and broke the screen glass. The touch screen works fine and i think only the outer screen glass has to be replaced.
I have searched on internet and found DIY repair videos to replace the LCD screen, but couldn't find any info about replacing the outer glass alone. But read its pretty hard to seperate the glass from LCD and replace it !!!
The LCD screen is costing around 120$ and the outer glass is costing 10-16$. I do not want to spend more unnecessarily if i can find a way to replace the outer glass myself.
Also, Samsung Focus is not oficially released here in India here, so i don't think i can approach the samsung itself.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Samsung focus lcd broken
Hi pranav. Same here , i have a samsung focus and lcd + outer glass screen is broken. In one of the screen replacement video i saw , the outer screen and the lcd as one unit and not seperate. Though , i am not completely sure.
Did you find a way to get the lcd or the outer glass for your phone in India?
Please contact me on [email protected]
Did you find a source for the replacement glass only? Please share.
I found only glass on eBay (hongkong or china i suppose). When i spoke to people from service center, all of them were saying it is not possible to replace only glass and they wont do it !!! i i don't know if it is really tough or they do not want to take much pain replacing glass and want to replace the whole LCD set which is easy for them.
And the total LCD + Digitizer + glass kit, i found it for 103$ in eBay US, and for 120 - 140$ in some other repair sites and Amazon.
Waiting for get the replacement from US as it costs less and get it fixed in a samsung service center.
Don't think that's possible. After all, the whole point of "super" in super amoled is that the glass is bonded to the display.

I've purchased the glass only and I'm waiting for it to arrive. It was very cheap and if it doesn't work, I'm not going to be too upset for buying it for about $11.00.

Amazon also has unit which is the LCD and digitizer already assembled.
amzn.to/ScR33n
I can update if and when I receive my replacement glass from gogotoshop. I find the place questionable but used paypal and can dispute the transaction if it isn't legit.
BTW....removing the glass & digitizer is not an easy task. From attempting to remove my broken screen, I don't think it is possible to remove it from the LCD as the previous posters mentioned.
mine is i937
Thanks for reply, But my phone is Samsung focus s (i937), and I didnot find the front class or Digitizer or LCD or all together.
I have the same problem the front glass broken. other things are ok, I asked on sumsung service center they said the whole thing has to change, I am sure experts can change only the front class.
Anybody has any idea about if I can buy it in India or any site who can ship to India.
or in UK, my frnd is coming from there I will ask him to buy there for me.
Please guys help me.

So just like the samsung and iphone models, the focus and focus s can be done the same way? I know for a fact that the galaxy s4 Active is best done by machine. Since ive tried but failed to do one. I have removed the glass from a galaxy s3 mini successfully, should this phone be the same? Please respond quickly!
Thank you
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.

If somebody has bought new lcd touch other than original kindly link it down. As its not worth to order original one for outdated device that costs wooping 9000 -11000 INR.
if any body has purchased, please link it down.

Gorilla Glass is break resistant, but not indestructible. Nothing is.
Could have been some combination of edge/corner impact (as it is much more likely to crack when a corner is impacted) and hitting a hard surface.

Unfortunately Amoled screens are not cheap, be aware of lcd screens on AliExpress - bad quality and much thicker.
Your 3t have gone on a good stage.
Already so many devices are available in the market at a cheaper price; like Poco F1 which has better hardware, dual camera, better battery and also developer friendly.
My suggestion is to change your phone.
I have my oneplus 3t which has completed 2 years, for which I have flashed plenty of ROMs and Kernels. I really enjoy my oneplus 3t but considering the new technology of full view screen, dual camera etc I am thinking to buy a new device after selling it online or offline.
I bought one from aliexpress. Not sure what the hell that would would be as Seller claims it to be AMOLED but i dont think it might be. I decided to sell it after changing LCD Touch.
I might buy refurbished 5t or poco. I have these two in consideration.
Suggestions?

Hello folks
Gathering information about screen replacement.
It applies for most curved OLED screens.

etc.
Including reputable screen refurbish services, only glass replacement services and part sellers or sources.
There can be found several ways to separate only glass from screen.
Old style heating and cutting glue layer with wire/other tool.
Or freezing to very low temperatures (somewhat -150C) and can separate easily afterwards.
Would be nice to hear your experience in such subject.
Laser is also a possibility, check this out : https://youtu.be/Lj4Od9D4puc

Although it can be used to cut out back glass or around the screen.
Just haven't seen successful screen glass separation using such method. It can be quite challenging.
Is there any repair guys in your knowledge who does already mentioned jobs in Stockholm?

Well, it's always fun to play around with lasers
Haven't found anyone who does this in Stockholm yet
I got my phone yesterday and started noticing specially in white background a slight blue hue when tilting the phone or even by looking straight at it, I can see it at the top and bottom of the screen if looking straight.
My ocd is always kicking in and I can't unsee it.
I've tried different color modes but it's still there.
Am I the only one ? I searched a bit and it seems "normal" in amoled screens but how could it be normal, I've never had phones with amoled but always heard it's the superior screen but to me it's not looking good.
I'm happy with the phone as I couldn't stand anymore my old trusty honor 9 with it's old battery with 3h sot and frequently laggy and outdated software but I must say the honor 9 feels and looks premium where this feels meh. the plastic frame even has some very small dents from manufacturer.
The worst thing is I paid 340€ for the honor when it came out and this for 450€ should be equal or even better in everything.

I was thinking of buying a glass protector for it but can't find any.
What I noticed is that the Neo 2 looks exactly the same as the GT 2, even the camera layout.
I'm tempted to buy the ibywind version, looks like the most complete with the frame aligment.

I've been looking on ebay and most listings for cases have Neo 2 / GT 2 in them. Screen size is the same and camera placement looks similiar. If it has GT 2 in the listing and doesn't fit then you should get a full refund at lesat as you can say item not as described

Do you have the same issue with the screen ?
I was going to buy the ibywind glass today as it looks it's the only one with the hole for the selfie cam so it should be the better one I guess. All the other chinese random name brands don't have it for some reason.
I also noticed some of them listing gt neo 2/gt 2 compatible.
But there's some people complaining about the fingerprint sensor not working properly after so I'm holding the buy for now. Hopefully in the upcoming weeks more products and reviews come out.
Looks like this GT series was a fail. Barely any videos, reviews, accessories. The lack of posts in this forum tells the same.
Realme should sell glass protection for their phones as they show a warning about using only approved realme screen protectors but where are they ?

I keep my phone on dark mode most of time and force dark mods where possible, I haven't noticed any issues but then I cannot see any issue with the pictures you posted either so maybe my eyesight is weaker.
I saw that but setting up fingerprint again after new protector should get rid of issues.
I myself am going to wait a little while and just use case + cover supplied until there is supplier based in my country so I don't have to import from china
