So you need tape then right? There's no way to stick it with existing? I just want to make sure I'm prepared lol.
Yeah you need adhesive .

Heres my glass I replaced today. it wasnt easy and it wasn't too difficult. I been fixing phones for a while so take your time if you Want To replace your glass. and make sure you heat up the glass real good. It helps a lot. And make sure you clean up the residue left from the glue real good. if you don't your phones screen won't work correctly.

**** **** **** **** ****. As I ran around the edge of my phone with a pen knife I cut through the ribbon that connects the two touch sensitive buttons on the bottom. :crying:
Also, on the screen some of the thin film came off with the screen, but some of it is still stuck on. That would have been a problem anyway I'm guessing?
So what are my options now? Get a new screen and digitiser, and the two touch sensitive buttons? Is that even possible? Googling now but if anyone here has been as stupid as I have I'd love to hear from you!
Did you heat the whole glass at once or focus on one area at a time (ie the bottom, then middle then top)?
My glass came in today. About to start the adventure, but want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row first.
I don't have a heat gun, and don't have the extra cash right now, so I'm hoping the wives blow dryer will do the trick.
I've read others say they used a blow dryer so I'm hoping it's fine, lol.
I just did this today, very happy to report it came out nearly perfect. A few tips, I used a razor blade and started with the tiny chips where it was shattered at and worked all the small pieces out. It's helpful to have some tiny tweezers and I was wearing magnifying glasses too.
Once you just have big pieces left, I would pry it with the razor blade and just apply pressure while under constant heat from the blow dryer. You can see the glue slowly breaking, just keep applying slow and steady pressure. It may snap, but it's not a big deal, mine broke from one huge piece to 3 smaller ones, I just worked them all out the same way. Be careful around the bottom with the ribbon, I wasn't expecting that..
Having a can of duster would be extremely handy when it comes to cleaning it. That was the biggest pain in the ass... I actually had my whole phone back together and was using it, saw a few large pieces of dust and ended up taking the screen off and cleaning it again.. If you find yourself in this position, what I did was use a suction cup on the glass, reheated it and pulled the glass right out, clean it and put it back in. So be careful. Other than that everything is great, typed this reply on it. I went with black glass and it looks sick too btw.

After changing the screen I'm getting a faint "popping" noise through my headphones/Bluetooth speaker almost constantly.
Could I have somehow damaged the headphone jack or something? Or is there anything else I could have damaged that could have caused this?
Its really weird and I have no clue how I could have caused this by changing the screen.

Tried two sets of corded headphones then a Bluetooth sound bar. Happened with all three. Tried while streaming via Play Music, Pandora and iHeartRadio.
Its a faint popping noise.
In wondering if I melted something with the blow dryer.

Well... I am unable to find anyone locally willing to help and am nervous as all hell about attempting this. Anyone done this first attempt not messing it up? Also my screen looks like a spiderweb its so banged up. Will this affect how the screen pulls off of the digitizer? Thanks. hopefully I manage!

My sisters screen was the worst I have ever seen. It was so shattered it was missing litle pieces if glss. I did it on my first attemp with no problems. It really is easier than it looks. Just be patient and make shure you are getting the addhesive hot enough (without melting your phone) and the screen will come right off.....with the help of a razor blade....Once Ihad finished I was shocked on how easy it really was....
