[Q] Replacing digitizer with US variant - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I plan on buying a new digitizer to replace the one on my phone since I manged to scratch it just before my screen protector arrived (there was a backlog of undelivered parcels at my post office, my screen protector should have been there BEFORE my phone -.-)
I'm pretty comfortable with the process of replacing the digitizer, but I've got a quick question (maybe not so quick to be honest.)
We should have all seen (and most likely drooled over) the new colours being released, I was wondering if a digitizer from the US Sprint or Verizon variants of the s3 would fit my uk/international s3? I'd love to get my hands on the silver digitizer and back plate, but I don't want to fork out £200 to find out it doesn't fit!
Is there anyone who could shed some light on this? would carrier specific radios be located on the back of the digitizer or something?
Cheers!

If you buy a new digitiser ..... Don't throw the old one ...I will buy it from you..

Verizon Touch Pro 2 Digitizer?

Can someone help me find a replacement Digitizer?
I bought my phone off of eBay a while back and it had scratches on the screen, now I want a new screen. I thought about getting one from eBay, but someone told me that those were cheaply made and came from China. And that if I tried replacing one myself It could maybe not work correctly or I could get some particles in between the screens.
Is there a place that I can get it repaired?
Also my phone won't charge anymore unless I put it in a certain position...
i got mine from ebay recently. well, i got it for T7373 international version tp2 instead.
what i would advise is, avoid from getting those cheap digitizer. they work sucks with finger. now i only able to use my tp2 with either stylus or fingernail which is seriously terrible.
and i changed it all myself. weirdly is, the digitizer need some glue to glue it to the tp2. a bad experience i had anyway.
sending my set back to my distributor for cleaning up mess soon.
I bought a replacement verizon digitizer last week

[Q] Digitizer Replacement...

Howdy,
Busted my digitizer and planning on replacing it so anyone got a good listing for one? Im thinking of going with the LCD Digitizer combo to avoid the joy of trying to seperate the 2 and ill probably order a 2nd digitizer to attempt to replace the one on the current LCD in the future for a spare or to sell i just dont want to be with a really busted up screen if i muff up the original in the process.
Ive searched before on the topic but dont recollect any good listings.
Im on VZW if that matters so i got the Rhod500
I had contacted an ebay seller but they couldnt tell me what i needed to know beings they got listings for GSM and CDMA screens and i cant really see what would be the difference.
I plan on doing this as soon as i can get it cause the cracks are starting to irritate me

you may want to get the screen that is for verizon logo on it since if your going to do warranty exchange or insurance claim they may want it having on the phone but it doesnt matter if it is GSM or CDMA since they are both the same screen the only difference is that they have the carrier logo on it. another thing you want to consider is getting the us version not the europe version cuz it has the hole for the face camera which the us verison did not get dont know why but it was dumb in their part.
I found this one you can see:

Hey, I have replaced 2 digitizers for sprint phones. They are in fact stuck down to the LCD which just means you need to be careful. I used a hair dryer to weaken the adhesive before prying off the digitizer.
I ended up having to peel apart the layers of the old digitizer to use the adhesive to hold the new one down to the case.

[Q] What part needs replaced?

I dropped my HTC Legend yesterday onto concrete, and now my screen is cracked. I've looked online to see if I could buy the part myself, and try and fix it myself as a local cell repair shop says it will cost 180$ to fix, for that price I'll just buy a brand new Legend and cut my losses with this one. Looking around online though, I'm unsure as to what I need to buy? I've found an LCD screen, or a digitizer... My touchscreen and all those functions work 100% all thats wrong is the glass is spiderwebbed pretty good. I'm thinking that I need the digitizer not the LCD screen? Or is there just a part thats just the glass? I'd post a picture of the phone, but I can't due to site restrictions.

[Q] Replacement screen for gnote

Hi anyone know a place where i can get a replacement screen the at&t one
my gnote ate the floor and cracked on the bottom part of the screen still usable but i would like to replace it....... its a white one and i been finding prices around 200-300 for the replacement if anyone could help me up ill really be happy
On ebay they go for a little less than $300 for the outer glass, led screen, and digitizer. It is all one piece. You can send it into Samsung for them to fix, the cost for that is $197.
These guys can fix it for fairly cheap. They even have a pretty fast turn around. We use them where I work.

Do you contact these guys to get them to quote you a price first? seems like they do a free diagnostic but would be nice to know what it will COST before i send it to them.
Also, not sure if any of those parts they sell is just the glass....the only one that seems to contain the glass is a whole bezel and like $200+

Titan cracked screen

A friend of mine has an ATT Titan (phone says PI39100) with a cracked front glass. I was looking to purchase a new front lens/digitizer for her phone and do the replacement. Most of what I find online are for the x310e.
Long question short: is the front lens for the x310e the same exact one as for the PI39100? or are the two not compatible?
Also, if someone can point to a DIY for doing this I'd appreciate it - otherwise, i'll take on it the same as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 I did earlier this week (using a hair dryer and an exacto knife) I would like to at least know the lens is the same so I can order soon.
Thanks in advance.
The screens are the same. The only difference will be that the new screen will have the HTC-Brand name instead of AT&T. Is it just the glass cover that's broken or is the whole touch screen? You can either replace just the glass cover or the entire touch screen. At least that is what I understand because I've seen both parts offered separately.
Regarding the DIY replacement have a look here:

Excellent. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you VERY much for your assistance
Oh, and it's the glass cover that's broken, because she's still able to (and currently continues to) use the phone. On ebay, I've seen the glass and digitizer going for under $30 shipped, so I think it's reasonable enough.
Thanks again. :good:
Glad to help. That's we are all here for: help each other.
