Reliable vendor for LCD screens? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having a hard time finding a non-shady online retailer to replace my D6503's screen. It's doing some odd things. Touch responsiveness is ok, it just has washed out colours. One link I found on this site points to etradesupply, which has a ton of negative reviews.
Anyone end up getting OEM parts anywhere? Thanks!

Try http://www.replacebase.co.uk I bought my spares from here!

Where are you? I have a lcd/digitizer for sale on ebay, well its actually everything besides the mobo/battery/back glass, the frame isnt perfect but the screen is absolutely mint and its had a tempered glass screen protector on it since i bought it (still fitted actually), i want £55 for it with postage. Let me know if your interested

Display cracked, working properly...

Hello.
Recently I have received this redmi note 3 smartphone. The tempered glass they provided was totally bad and didn't stick to the screen. Hence I tried often to press the glass using my thumb against the screen. Little did I know that I would end up with a long crack on the screen from the top earpiece to the recents button..
The screen is working normally as of now..
So I want to know if I have to replace the whole screen (Rs2500) or is there a part of the screen only that needs replacement (Rs x, x<2500) that will cost me lesser..

If tempered glass is broken, then you have to only tempered for Rs.50.. if touch screen is cracked then you have to replace whole combo i.e display.

Tempered glass for 50? I have heard quotes anywhere from 150 to 400. After some bargaining I buy it for 130. But 50 seems impossible

Oh and what happens if I ignore the cracked screen? Will it go worse over time?

oh.. Really..? If you are pro smartphone user then you must know the smartphone market too.. I personally buy 0.3 MM flexible tempered glass for Rs.30 and Regular tempered glass for Rs.20 for any smartphone. Somehow Indirectly i belong to the same market, 2 years back for a shopkeeper tempered glass used to cost Rs.27 per piece which they sold for 150-400, but now that cost is reduced to Rs.15(Regular) - Rs.25(0.3mm,0.2mm) per piece.. which is sold by shopkeeper for 100-500. But in same market any random customer get any tempered for Rs.50. Dude.. stop buying everything online.. every city has a Major Mobile Repairing and Accessories market.. just have a walk through it. It is the same Tempered glass which you guys buy for 200-300 Same level of anti-scratch hardness(level 6 on Moh scale of Hardness)

my personal advice will be dont go online for combo.. if anything comes out wrong.. your money and time both will be wasted.. If you can spend 2500 then surely go for Service centre, 2500 totally worth.. but if you dont wanna spend that much then go to Mobile repairing market.. get it replaced there.. if anything comes wrong then you can have replacement at the spot. I just asked my friend and he told that there are two quality available.. Rs.1480 and Rs.1700.. 1480 one is quite thicker than original.

I did not buy it online. I've visited several shops and they flat out deny to apply it if you bargain below 130. They'll just tell you to buy from some other place. You must be fairly lucky to have such cheap tempered glasses in your area. That isn't the case here.

Well in that case, find out the wholesale market from where those shopkeepers do buy stuffs, just go to that market, enter any new shop, tell them you are shopkeeper with confidence.. buy 5 tempered glass for Rs.100. keep rest for future. Area doesnt matter dude.. its same story everywhere.. every part of India buy these stuffs from Delhi only.

Xtremeguard spartan

I used to use these on my old 1+1 as they often have them on offer which makes them one of the cheapest and decent protectors.
Had a 90% off code (Take90) through today so thought I'd have a look if they have anything for the 1+5.
They only have a plastic film protector for the 1+5 showing in their site.
http://www.xtremeguard.com/OnePlus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/oneplus_5_screen_protector.htm#.WapXoiPTVnE
However when selecting that a Spartan glass option comes up at 29.99 (buy 2 with the code to work comes in at $6) the pair, which again is incredibly cheap.
I haven't ordered one yet to see if it's real or just a website error (shipping to the UK takes weeks and costs more than the protectors).
Wondering if anyone else has tried it stateside?
I may order them anyway, I seem to be amassing a collection of bits of sticky edged glass, so another one won't hurt.
I've ordered one. For a tenner I'll risk it. These used to be really good. Had one for my one plus one.

Taken the plunge too, will see how they fit, still looking for that perfect glass, thinking I will end up with just a decent TGSP and use my Fitbag for protection in pockets.

Looks like mine will be here in the next two days according to the tracking.
I'll update the thread with pictures when it does.
I just ordered and the discount code still worked. less than 7 bucks for two.

I've got a couple of these on order, although right now I'm fairly happy with my Nilkin/Otterbox combo gave up on the full 3.5D coverage ones, first one arrived broken, second one had debris already on the adhesive before lifting from the plastic.
Well mine has turned up today.
Compete utter sh#te..
It's about 3mm narrower than the screen (not the bezels the actual visible screen)
There's no borders but there's obviously the original screen exposed on the sides
I'm going to demand a refund.
Sorry if anyone else ordered one based on this thread. Very disappointed
Might be able to see the edge and how much is exposed on the right here.
Not the best quality photo, taken with my shield tablet..

Look like a similar cover to the Nilkin tbh. I'm happy with that as a solution, compared to the dark borders. The Otterbox case I use offers enough protection to the very outer edges due to the depth and my most likely damage would come from a more central hit/scratch.
I've received mine today and the result is similar I'm afraid.
I'll leave it on for a day or two but I reckon it'll come off since it doesn't cover the screen properly.
I really don't understand why it's this hard to make a screen protector that fits properly. Maybe OnePlus just gave the wrong measurements to all the OEMs?
In any case...
Pixel 2 out soon. Maybe that'll be an option.

XtremeGuard always sells complete and utter sh*t. Any company that has 90% sales once a month is lying to its customers and does not deserve my business.

Put mine on today after receiving yesterday.
Worst protector ever! Huge halo and cuts off a portion of screen like the million. Do not buy! I've already asked for refund.

So I wanted to get one but I don't have a credit card and shipping is 8 dollars!
You have to buy two products in order to get the code "Take90" to work
Same as Nilkin with an extra cutout for the ffc and proximity sensor. It's probably one of the best tgsp right now, full coverage units are currently all worse than this.

Screen Protector from gadgetshieldz.com

I wanted to ask if anyone has tried Oneplus 5 plastic Screen Guard from Gadgetshieldz ? I wanted to know if it fits the entire screen properly.
Anyone?
I don't have this product, But!
It seems like it fits entire screen. But it is plastic wrap, not tempered glass
had it on my op3, covered full screen.
Or you can head over to YouTube and 'Gupta Information Systems' channel had posted some videos with it applied on op5.

Thank you. I even confirmed from Gadgetshield. They have 2 type of screen guards. One fits the whole screen and one is for use with covers. For anyone looking for plastic screen guard can go for this. :laugh:

Yes, using their transparent skin+screen protector combo
It's a great choice to get the best aesthetic from your phone,
but the display quality reduces a bit compared to other screen protectors
(maybe because of my faulty wet apply)
This is the ****test company I've dealt with, I don't recommend it to anyone. I received my screen protector and skin stapled which means they were damaged. Sent them an email, they didn't reply then, I escalated the issue to paypal and they replied after 10 days just to waste more of my time and paypal then offerd a refund if I'm going to ship the items back, for god sake it's only 19.01 USD so I cancelled the case and took the loss. My main issue is I received my phone and didn't have a screen protector for it. This is the difference when you buy something professional like DBrand and something cheap like these Gadgetshieldz.

Indian users: Anyone installed tempered glass?

Hi, this is for people from India. Have any of you installed tempered glass screen protector which works fine with fingerprint scanner? If so, please share your experience and links.
TIA
Yes, got 1 today.
Fingerprint was working fine but the the size of that glass was not upto the margins, if you apply from top bottom of screen would hide and vice versa. So returned it...
PS: this was the one, don't buy it...
https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07J382Y5L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_22B4BbFRTE2EV
Anyone else who has got a good TGP which doesn't block the screen, preferably full glue.
Well i would recommend leave the default protector on till the end of November that is when we can expect the official tamper glass to appear online. You can also get one from the experience stores if you have one near you.

I tried the experience stores on the launch day and even last week but there was none available....The ones I see on Amazon have got mixed reviews..So as you say, will have to wait for the official ones to launch..Thnx buddy..
I'm in the US and have bought some cheap 2 packs off eBay and they all work fine and are full glue and don't block anything

I can't post links I guess
I am keeping the film on till it lasts. It's the best fitting screen protector as of now. We have a gorilla 6 screen so breaking the screen shouldn't be a bother. I went to a shop looking for a screen guard, the guy said he will fit the glass on top of the OEM film cause its the best there is, so I said thank you and left.

Cracked glass repair

I dropped my tablet and cracked the glass on the display. Besides the crack in the outer glass, the display and touch input both work just fine.
I've noticed replacement glass on Amazon for about twenty bucks. A local repair place says that doesn't do the job; the display needs to go to a place that can refurbish the display and laminate new glass, at a cost of about $175 USD, with another $110 for the shop to remove and replace the display.
Is this legit? If it really is that complicated, does anybody know of a reliable shop that will just do the whole job my mail, hopefully for less money?
Thanks.

Your better of selling the tablet and taking the hit and pick up a new one, as it's a huge job replacing the glass only!
Also, the screens alone are £300+ and you can't get any local shop to replace the glass only, as you need specialist tools it's no small task but if you’re looking to repair it, the quote you been quoted is pretty fair!
I know it’s too late but why on earth didn’t you purchase a case for your tablet? I’ve got the supcase on my Tab S6 LTE amount of times mine has gone flying across the room I would have had a shattered display and shattered rear glass but thanks to the case not a mark or crack!

Sorry for you. In case it is only a single crack - have you thought of only putting a protective glass above it? That way it is sealed and might be less visible. Maybe you want to share a picture.

The crack is almost invisible and I can't even feel it, but it's annoying that it happened. A local repair shop is sending the screen in for refurbishing when they have several orders lined up.
Sent from my SM-T867U using Tapatalk
UPDATE: Sending it directly to Samsung turned out to be the best option. It was a total of $280, including an upgrade to two day shipping.
I dropped it off at UPS on Friday, it was received on Tuesday, and I got a notice that the repair was completed today (Thursday, Christmas Eve). Even with holiday delays, I should have it early next week.
At that rate, it's about the same price as a year of carrier insurance + deductible.
