Hi ,
After i cracked my digitizer i tried to avoid from paying 300$ for fixing it.
I ordered "OEM HTC Droid DNA LCD Screen and Digitizer Assembly with Front Housing" - all the parts are already in one unit and factory glued (Digitizer, LCD and Front Housing)
Making the job less complex - no need to glue anything
btw
I did the order from http://www.etradesupply.com - very fast shipping and great service .
now few tips :
1. very hard to open the back cover of the phone in the first time ( it's glued to the loud speaker - need to be patient ).
2. there are 3 antenna cables : 1 of the wireless , and 2 of the camera flash i think - be very gentle to them, they are very sensitive.
3. Remember to remove the "Ear Speaker" from your old phone - it's not part of the new screen ( I forgot it and needed to reopen my phone )
4. Have fun !
If you have questions, i will more then happy to answer :good:
btw #2
If someone want my old parts (Cracked digitizer - fully working, fully working LCD screen and my old front housing - PM me , will discuss on good price to both of as.
Thanks for the post. I just cracked my screen last week and looking at different ways to fix it.
Does anyone know if they have this same part in white for sale anywhere? I want a white screen on my DNA but all I have been able to find are ones that don't come with the earpiece.
Saw on ebay.. but it without the housing..only digitzer and lcd

I bought the lcd and digitizer separate. Then realized I didn't have the adhesive to glue it all back together. Wish I went the whole front panel way..
Same here, I ended up buying the whole housing pre-assembled. Even when I third to glue it the slightest pull on the ribbon cable and part of the screen is unresponsive.

I've got a cracked screen and was thinking about doing this... Wanted to ask how much experience (if any) you had doing this kinda stuff and also how long it took you. Also did you see any adverse effects (such as loose back, volume rocker, etc) from doing this?

If you planning to buy the same part as i did, it's more easy.
Basic exp with tools suppose to be enough from my point of view.
Regarding the time, it's took me 2 hours - i had to open the phone again, cuz i forgot to place the ear speaker
For the adverse effects:
Back cover - not loose at all, it's connected with hhard plastic clips.
Volume rockers and power bottom - working as before.
One issue that i found, is the charging led, i forgot to takw it out from my old housing

Hi
I got a white screen with red soft keys advertised for the 920e from eBay. Images here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44703091
I also agree the OP has a very misleading title for this post. It sounds like they are saying they separated their glass from the LCD and reused it. This is not the case. Not only did the OP replace the digitizer and the LCD but they also replaced the housing.
Great tips tho on removing parts.

Now I'm confused. I thought the digitizer was fused to the glass, but the LCD is a separate part. I see plenty of eBay listings for the glass+digitizer(with soft keys). You're saying if one were to buy that they'd have to glue it to the LCD? I'm skeptical that these 3rd party Chinese products actually use gorilla glass 2 and the same highly sensitive digitizer as HTC's, including the 5" 1080p LCD would make me even more nervous about quality.

The LCD is a separate part, but I heard about how it is difficult separating the LCD from the glass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=fTqPqh0fNkQ#t=559 at 9 :17 starts to show the front coming off. When I did mine, as my glass was broken, there was no really saving the LCD.
I cant tell the difference between my replacement, from a USA seller, than the original LCD.

No doubt, but Can Not. That eBay listing has errors. It says the x920e in the listing but it can not be. That listing is for a back cover with an SD card. The x920d and the HTL21 have SD cards and a larger cut out on the top of the back cover. The x920e and the DNA have no cut outs are are a couple mms shorter than the other two. Now this one you can use. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290940405280

Used one of the youtube vids for dis-assembly. Re-assembly is basically just the same steps in reverse. The most difficult part was lining up the placement of the digitizer on the LCD. If you don't get this right, the screen will not fit properly. I had to somewhat set the pieces together all in place loosely to get the alignment right (lcd sitting in the slot with the digitizer somewhat in place in the front bezel), and then take them apart and secure them together better to ensure a proper fit if that makes sense. My first try - lining thing up by eye - was not quite right. I used some 3M 2mm adhesive I ordered along with the tools. Taking the digitizer off is a bear, it takes quite a bit of patience and a bit of force. Reseating the cables is also a pain, use the plastic pry tool to help reseat, and have LOTs of patience during the whole process. Make sure to give yourself a solid hour or more. I just broke my second screen today with a beer bottle of all things, so I'll have to redo this whole process here shortly. Also make sure the front of the LCD and back of the digitizer are very clean, and the adhesive is lined up properly and not blocking sensors. I didn't do this well, and have a slight bit of adhesive sticking out the bottom side about 1mm into the visible area of the LCD, and the back of the digitizer is noticeably "gunky" in the front camera region, which I think is also causing some issues I'm having with the front proximity sensor. Hopefully I'll do a better job this next time. Good luck!
Oh my Chad.... Lol
Definitely out of my skill.
...any recommendations of what type of phone repair shop I should look into? I went to an iPhone based, but "smartphone" capable repair shop and he definitely didn't know what to do. He said it would cost 70$ and that it would be risky...... Not something I'm about to shell out 70$ for especially when I already have the replacement screen

I've seen a couple places online that you can send your phone to and they'll replace the screen and ship it back to you within a few days. Never tried a site like that tho and could be kinda sketchy but that's an option. Also here in Albuquerque there are tons of Craigslist ads for screen replacement here in town so you could check your city's page and see what you find.
Sent from my Rezound using xda premium
I did this very thing last week successfully with no problems. Follow the repair video by repair universe on YouTube to the letter and you will do just fine. The key is to take your time and make sure the phone is heated enough with the hair dryer or heat gun to ensure that the adhesive comes apart smoothly. Take extra special precaution not to crack the LCD screen when removing the glass (digitizer) from it
If you're not willing to take the chance, you could always send it to me (for free) but I can't guarantee a flawless victory

I see what you did there...
If you decide to repair your screen yourself, there are also four transparent pieces of plastic that you need to put on the new screen.
They are for the capacitive buttons, so they redirect the light from the lights on the motherboard to the buttons.
Unless you don't want lights, of course. (I forgot to put them on mine lol, but I don't mind having no lights)
Also, when you put it back together, make sure to seal it very well on the outside so water doesn't get in and screw up the digitizer. You may have to use glue or something else as a sealant.
Every time it rains, my digitizer gets messed up from water getting in. (crossing my fingers for no permanent damage)

Then what do you want?
I have opened the og RAZR 910 several times for fun, and to revert the maxx batt upgrade. Usually, there is enough adhesive to restick.
This cover is obviously not held on by much and is barely functional as a dust cover. Make sure it's snapped on tight, use a little heat(hair dryer) to refresh what is left if the stock adhesive, and/or add some tape as has been suggested. You could probably use viscous adhesive putty sometimes found in reusable closure packaging; look around, and you sure to find something suitable. There are plenty of online stores that will sell OEM replacement parts for reasonable prices as well.

I was having some skip issues. I had a screen protector since day 1. I was going to return the unit. Low and behold I take the pos protector off and the home and back buttons work great. No more missed touches so far.

I'm using one too and noticed the buttons hardly respond. Before it would work perfectly.
I rather press them a few times than having to worry about a scratch on my screen though - A sacrifice I'd be willing to live with.
Hmm, now that you mention it... My capacitive buttons didn't start acting unresponsive until I placed my screen protector. Back is the biggest culprit with it sometimes ignoring any amount of presses under any amount of pressure.

I have the same problem.....
I really don't like the idea of not having a screen protector, nor not covering the bottom portion where the capacitive buttons are.
However I've been wondering...
How about if we punch holes where the capacative buttons are......
My guess is it would probably work with a high end hole punches which is extremely sharp and wont bend the protector while punching..
Any thoughts?

Gorilla Glass wasn't meant to hold an impact of a fall regardless of it being from only 6 inches. It was meant to absorb getting hairline scratches from everyday use.

The Glass should be inter change able between x920e & DROID DNA both at 141 mm tall and the HTL21 & X920d both at 143 mm tall.

It's simple to replace the back right? Just use a tool to pry it off and put the new one on?
Simple sure. Slowly. Carefully. When I did mine I pried a bit too hard and have a small stress crack by the USB charge port. While that is the recommended point of entry, I ended up getting under the volume rocker better. Be careful. Go slow. There is a gasket type seal you may want to try to keep and reuse if a new back does not come with one. Another thing I did not read else where is there is some adheasive seal around the speaker.
Be careful. Go slow. Mind the stress on the USB cut out, the volume rocker, and the speaker area.

The height and width are the same on these models. While I don't know for sure for sure if the back fits it should, the back should be about half a mm more because of the QI charging. Now that I successfully swapped my screen I want a white back to !

I'm pretty sure that the slit to the right of the logo is for both the Proximity sensor and the Ambient light sensor. I never saw it with the original font , though I never took pictures of it. It only shows on pictures as pink or purple or in complete darkens it glows slightly red.

The LCD panel isn't changed. It's the digitizer that is fused to the glass.
Have you noticed any issues with it? It is just as accurate as the original? I see eBay listings for replacement glass (I kinda like the black with no Verizon logo and red buttons) for as little as $23 to as high as over $100 and both listings provide the same level of details and look identical. Even the one with the HTC logo isn't an actual HTC OEM panel (the listing says "origina!" not "original").

I ran it side by side with a stock(original) DNA and I saw no differences. I remember having a hard time to see outside in the sunlight. I duno't know if I am used to it now, or if it is actually a little better.

Yes it is, I replaced the LCD/Digitizer/Glass as one part because I read about low sucess rates seperating the LCD from the glass/digitizer. No issues with the product replacement. I should have gotten an adhesive surround thing or something, as I re used the one that was there, that is not as sticky as it was before and the one corner of the adheasive gasket is not smooth. For the first few days the one corner stuck our about .5mm but after being in my pocket with pressure on the glass to the housing its better. Just the Glass& Digitizer should be in the twenty something dollar range. Just the LCD should be around sixty. Together as one part, I see now from 75-125.

No, that listing is the wrong thing for our DNAs. The listing even has errors. It says the x920e in the listing but it can not be. That listing is for a back cover with an SD card. The x920d and the HTL21 have SD cards and a larger cur out on the top of the back cover. The x920e and the DNA have no cut outs are are a couple mms shorter than the other two.
I am going to order this Battery door tomorrow when I get paid.

I see. So for about $120 you can get the white back and the white front, and have a sweet white with red accents DNA! Someone do this. I want to see pics! Damn, when I dropped my DNA last winter I had to pay $100 insurance to replace the phone. I totally would have spent the extra few bucks and tricked out my phone to be white!
Stupid question. Replaced plenty of screens before. My sister has a Verizon gs4. Cracked screen yesterday and over nighted a digitizer without my help. Lol. Its for i9500. Which is international version. I am assuming this will not work with the Verizon us model? Thanks.

I can help
I work at a cell phone repair shop. The digitizer runs through the LCD on most newer Samsung phones, so did you buy a LCD/glass combination piece or did you buy just the glass lens?
would really like to know how this goes. I have a glass screen protector which I have cracked, hopefully just the procter and not the screen itself. haha either way let me know how this turns out
Just the digitizer. Her LCD is fine.

on the s4 all carriers the digitizer is fused to the lcd the outer glass has nothing to do with touch.
the outer glass just protects everything no connections at all so its not like the older phones.
google youtube the glass lcd digitizer repair.
I had to fix mine

In fact, the LCD screen and digitizer can be used all the models and only the frame under the screen is different.
Thanks. I figured that out. Never changed just the glass before. Always been digitizer. It was kinda nice. If you leave adhesive on LCD. Just heat up rub off and clean with water and windex mix. Worked great for me in a pinch.
