Well... as far as i read replacing just the glass is a bit of a hit or miss with the chance that you have to just take the glass off without killing the panel. On my smashed N7 i just replaced the screen panel and glass as one piece but i dont know how it would work with the z4 and its waterproofness.

Gorilla glass and lcd are a glued single unit, i believe you have purchased the right part and it does have the gorilla glass attached.
You are safe
Yup. You are good to go. The glass comes with the LCD. I wont be too sure that its gorilla glass though. It scratches very easily.
Then again the original gorilla glass wasnt too shatter proof anyway.
I see a lot of posts regarding the unbreakable glass on anything that has the gorilla glass. I think the proper term is SCRATCH resistant, not unbreakable?
I think Corning needs to rework it so if you drop it on a corner, it won't shatter
I took the screen protector off of mine over 2 months ago and even as much as it is in and out of the pouch, in the car unprotected, not one scratch. The plastic around it? Now that is another matter
Yup all the screens I have purchased had the gorilla glass. You cannot buy it and if you could I do not see how you would install it.
I have been running withour screen protection and see no need to put anything on the glass.
I did have a screen protector cor months. I do not think it is needed.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Two Dell Streaks fell at the same time..
Actually guys,
My dad has a dell streak too but that one is with TPU soft case. Both of them fell from the same height. But mine as it was bare bodied, and might have fell on the sweet spot which broke the glass. The other one is scratchless. so now i understand the necessity of the rubber case, also it tends to slip without it from your hands which i have noticed it a couple of times. So lesson learned.. never get off a bigger phone from its layer (case).. Glad it is not an expensive loss though..
Thanks for all your inputs guys..

Buy a Otterbox Commuter or Defender case, the screen protector is crap, but the case itself is very good, should save you the price of buying a new screen. Does make the device quite big, but then its not a small phone.

[Q] Screen scratched, what can I do?

Hi,
I've just received my tablet Z and manged to scratch the screen! Is there a way to reduce scratch depth on the original screen protector (a kind of polishing). I'd like to avoid to remove the screen protector but if I have to do it, is there a good tutorial (not the one for the Xperia Z phone)? Is anybody already remove the original screen protector?
Thanks
If it's just the screen protector, what's the big deal? Buy a new one and replace or let it replace in a shop with the new one. But if it's a scratch on the digitizer itself, you can use display polish to minimize the scratch but not fully remove it. Or fully replace the digitizer but I'm afraid this will break the watertight seal.

yes it's the screen protector but I'd like to keep it (i'm not sure to find one that is as good as sony's original).

There was a discussion a few months ago in the Sony Tablet S forum about removing the tablet's factory-installed screen protector. Most everyone described themselves picking at a corner of the protector (some used a straight pin) until enough of it was lifted so it could be grabbed and then slowly peeled off. Several people said they were not going to replace the protector because the screen image looked much better without the protector. Others installed a new protector.

New screen, glass loose.

I just replaced my screen due to a broken glass but after the replacement I can see that the glass is not very good attached on either side.
Hoppfully I can RMA, since it aint cheap changing the screen!
Anyone seen this before?

If you replaced it yourself then I think the screen you received didn't had the glass good glued to the display so its then a bit loose

Tempered glass?

Hello, i got international version of zuk z1 and i'm not sure does it have originaly sticked tempered glass protector. My speaker looks like on this video https://youtu.be/Kvi6cpTl8HY?t=143 Do you think it's tempered glass? Should i just stick new one on it?
There is no Screen Protector applied when the device is shipped
I purchased my zuk z1 officially here in India and there is a tempered glass protection factory applied.
Why do you think you have a protection applied, because of the little piece inside the speaker? This is just a sensor...
What little piece are you referring to? I can see a thin film layer which is prominent from the phone display itself, visible from the edges and where it is cut near the earpiece.
That's not a screen protector, I made the same mistake and made the exact same thread about the screen. It is not a screen protector at all, believe I tried to scratch that off and didn't end well haha

I broke mine screen today and I didn't had a protector... But I think there is a protection pre installed because the fractures does not reflect on the display or pixels.. I believe only the protector or glass has crack and trying to peal it off

Did yours have scratches before it broke? I'm thinking on whether to put a tempered glass or not.

Actually it did.. A tempered glass is recommended... My phone screen cracked because it fell on the floor and it would not have if had tempered glass in place... And to confirm there is no pre installed protection glass...I tried to peal of the assumed glass but I managed to peal a small peace of LCD. Now looking for a good LCD panel
My zuk fell off and my screen cracked. No lcd damage. Is there anyway i can replace it?

you will have to get the entire screen assembly replaced. I had this issue as well. But i'll suggest using it as it is for as long as it goes if there are minor cracks. or you can get it replaced through service centre, and it'll cost you as accidental damages are not covered inside warranty.

Screen lens.

Hey buddies, The screen of my phone got breked. Touch is working. i can use the phone. Is there anyone who knows how to replace the LCD Screen glass and where to find the glass?
https://www.amazon.com/MOTOROLA-Mot...506525321&sr=8-12&keywords=moto+g4+plus+glass for the hard replacement but cheaper, OR
https://www.amazon.com/ePartSolution_OEM-Motorola-Digitizer-Assembly-Replacement/dp/B0713SWNFJ for more expensive but easier drop-in replacement
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yu7HpzQU2I shows how difficult it is to replace just the glass of the phone
Don't expect Gorilla Glass 3 like OEM but more like cheap glass so next drop, will break again.
