Replacement screen? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I managed to crack my screen today right after waking up and dropping the phone. I looked on Dealextreme and it has a replacement case for the whole phone.
MY question is that does that dealextreme case also include the glass screen. Also is there somewhere else I can just buy the screen?
Thanks.

If I understand correctly it is your digitizer that is cracked..
Replacing the touch digitizer is possible but quite a technical thing to do...

Oh man, that sucks for me. I am a nerd so I can open stuff up and put it back together. But this drop is going to cost me.

They have digitizer screens for the X10 on eBay:
http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=xp...+screen&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

Get yourself a new digitizer including front cover. Because its really hard to get the digitizer of. It will only cost you 65 on ebay.
I fixed my diamond 2 last time Works perfect now. Not that hard! Take some time and beers
Cheers

Yup ordered a digitizer yesterday for 60 + 15 shipping to canada. I don't trust ebay or paypal much so I pay straight off the credit card. Anything goes wrong I can file a dispute.

I think i 'll buy also a new digitizer because my screen has a lot o scratches. But is there any x10 disassembly video. I searched youtube and i found nothing

It's not really that hard tbh i just replaced my whole phone (case,screen,digitizer) the only thing you need to be extremely safe with is the flex cable to the front keypad.
Heres what phone phone looked like

Here is a complete disassemble guide.

make sure when you are handling the digitizer, to no touch the back of it. Finger oil is a ***** to take off. Use gloves.

So I left my precious Galaxy Note on the back on my dads truck, the car that he will only drive 10% of the time, and then today he drives it. I go out to get my phone and realize he took the truck. I was like "OHHHHHHH *swear words*!!!!!!!!!"
I went out and looked for it and found it on the side of the rode face down with the screen protector off. I had a simple flip case on it, but I wasn't able to find that.
I am ultra sad right now, but there is a lot of hope.
A strange thing is that the battery was still in it and the back of the phone had absolutly no scratches on it.
I turned it on and I could hear little startup sounds like the new gmail message one
So I guess that is good, but I still have this broken screen .
So the reason I am posting this is because I want to know if I can get it fixed with a kit or something. I am assuming I have to get the LCD and polarizer because the screen is cracked into little bits as the picture showed, and I can pick out each of those bits pretty much.
So much for gorilla glass
Gorilla glass is not for a phone dropping off a moving car....
Also p.m. me I have a spare backing for the note brand new

wait, you left the phone on the back of his truck.....you say that like its normal like one would put it on their dresser or something. So you normally leave your phone in the garage on a vehicle?
Looks like someone ran over it. too many impact points on the glass from pressure applied, rather than the initial smack on the ground.

The rubber of a tire running over the side with the battery aint gonna cause a lot of damage scratch wise... the part facing the concret is another story.

When you say this, I would expect that the Touch Screen Digitizer to be okay.
It looks like something ran over it. How far did you drop it from?
from first floor, of the stair...
I would take it to a repair shop and see what they say.The screen etc is stuck to a metal plate(you see the edge of it around the screen).
Take it to a couple of places and get quotes.

In Sweden samsungservices will replace the screen for about 100USD (shipping included). I do not no if this is an international offer, but it's woth checking. If it makes you feel any better my new Note 2 looks like that.:crying:
Mine is also cracked, Samsung told me they would replace it for 140€, since they always have to replace screen and digitizer (its impossible to separate them), I looked in many other places and they always told me 190€..
Mine has just a little crack, so I don't mind using it like this, maybe one day I will replace it.
In the netherland they offerd 195 Euro's
I have read topics where they only replace the glass. I have to do it my self, that is not the problem. But need to be sure what to replace..
I am not offering my phone to a samsung service, its to expensive. Tnx for the replies.

I also thought of doing it myself, I searched on ebay and its also expensive, because you have to buy both, this video has shown me why:

It hurts to look at the phone and the screen is cracked, doesn't it?

If you are not buying a replacement screen kit then just leave the phone as it is.Your going to end up making it worse.
If you think you know better then get the outer glass and try to remove the old one.If underneath is not broken and you stick the outer bit back on,and it works then youve saved money.
You can then come back on here saying how clever you are.And check a few threads about screen replacement in the general section,as there was a clown saying he had managed it.Cant remember his name but he was posting links to a naff you tube offering.He called himself "cadburyfudge"......or some name chocolate based.

[Q] Replacing the glass on this, is it too far gone? -opinions?

Hi guys, just looking at a phones glass and trying to decide whether it's too far gone to repair. I know it needs a new button also. What do you think?

Ouch.
Well anything is possible but depends on how much money are you willing to spend. Try finding a good deal on ebay for the entire front with digitizer, lcd and button like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...058?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337f67fb42

You don't think this can get done with just the glass and not the whole LCD replaced?

Yes it can be done.

well anything is possible but from my prior experience with other phones, the adhesive holding the digitizer and lcd together is very strong. When trying to pull it apart it usually cracks the lcd...
So from now on I just usually buy the entire assembly.
The glass is not too hard to replace. I broke mine (not nearly as bad as yours). It took me about an hour to get the old glass off, clean it all up and install the new glass.
Make sure to keep the heat on (I just used a hair dryer) and slowly work your way around. After having a look at the photo I'm not sure the digitizer or buttons will work though. They are both attached by a very thin ribbon at the bottom of the phone, which if damaged won't work.
Holy crap it still works!

LCD Screen and Frame

Thought I would post this as I just brought one..
My Screen died yet again. after only having it in for service about March. Mind you it was here in Asus China.. so...
Anyway, It was giving me the dreaded black screen no turn on type thing, Plus a few of the other characteristics that have been documented in the Katkiss thread of late- Corrupted partition.
After the last battle with it, I ended up with a full strip on the left hand side about 50mm that is unresponsive.. nothing that you can do on the touch side of things, but mouse still works. Anyway.. wasn't going to send it back. as its not worth the aggravation of dealing with the idiots at the Asus aftersales service. So went and brought the Nexus 10.. Loving it..
but for project decided to look for another LCD screen and came across this seller with the full frame for sale.. so its about $US65.. so its my weekend project.. as Dam.. with Katkiss JB4.3 around.. I just want to play with it on the TF101.. Just not ready to let this thing die as yet.
I will update the post once i get it up and running.

Well, its back up and running..not with out a few tense moments..
The picture you see is NOT what you get..as no frame..they **** you on that..
Which I found out to my detriment.. As I order the full set thinking that I wasn't going to have screw around with the glue thing..
it turned out it turned up and I was...what the...

As I had ready been watching videos so kinda knew what to do..
Anyway as it comes glued already..how the .... Are you suppose to screw the LCD panel in..
Derrrrrrr...can't unless you do some strange but thing..and or bend the brackets around..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Anyway..
Not to be deterred.. I got out the trusted plastic tools and went about separation of the screen from the LCD panel...new one...as I already had got the old one off with no drama..and cleanly.
Note..make sure you know which you are separating..as I found out the hard way that I was actually separating the gorilla glass from the touch screen...were wondering why it was so dam hard...plus one hell of a mess..
Lucky the original was still in good order so I finally was able to separate the new LCD panel and clean it up..
I almost gave up..but pushed through..it wasn't going to beat me.. plenty of man handling going on..I put it all back together...yeha..
Mind you I wasn't thinking that it was going to crank up as I was man handling the LCD panel pretty heavily ...but up popped Tims little mascot and 4.2.2 fired right up...sign of relief..
So straight to 4.3 I have came and its powering along...too good to be true..
Thanks Tim...and others that have ported the 4.3..
Of course I have a few more creaks from around the edges And a little light bleed on the left hand side but as I was lucky that the double sided tap from the original glass was still sticky and usable..
Will let it settle in and put it thru its passes and see how it goes before I pull it apart and pop some silicon in there..

If you do it, the Russian video is the best to use to strip it down but there are a few little steps it miss's
Thus the other two come in handy.

Where did you find the full frame with the LCD for $65? I currently have the same problem with my tf101. And would love to replace it. Right now its just a paper weight.
Disregard, I got all excited a quick Google search lead me to one on amazon. Thank you for the tutorial I will follow once mine gets in and I'll report back!

After many attempts of buying tempered glass screen protector I've finally found one that is flawless in my opinion.
I've had the bad problem of bad FP reader always having to put my pin in.
But this is a perfect fit and 9 out of 10 time FP works hope this helps some of you.
Geez just what we all wanted, another screen protector thread.
Well you didn't have to read it did you I'm offering a solution simples.

well, if you read the other threads, then you should realize that this "solution" was already posted.
Is there a tempered glass screen protector that works with the finger print scanner?
Anyone have any luck with getting a tempered glass screen protector that works with the fingerprint scanner? I have read several threads about this. Some suggest adding same finger twice. Some suggest increasing sensitivity of the screen, and...
forum.xda-developers.com
Also, it turns out that many of the screen protectors that did NOT work initially, all of a sudden start working after the latest update. At least for me. But thanks for re-affirming that this one works for you too.
cheers

Glass protectors always break in a month or 2 and I don't prefer it on my phone and also the new display is strong enough that doesn't get cracked easily but they do get scratched which is frustrating. So I bought this film xxxxxx from Gadgetshieldz which is installed with liquid that gives an extra layer of protection from scratches and it has a self-healing feature that heals most of the scratches, this interested me to buy this.
Mod Edit: Post edited.
The install was so easy with the template.
Months later the purchase more than paid for itself. While on vacation and trying to setup a small tripod my wife’s phone dropped from about 10” onto a rock and completely destroyed the phone or so we thought. On further inspection it was the screen protector that shattered.
Unfortunately for me I can’t find the spare so I’ll have to purchase again but the extra protection form such a small accident is worth it.
