Samsung Focus screen lens glass replacement

pranay27 · Mar 4, 2012

I dropped my Samsung Focus and broke the screen glass. The touch screen works fine and i think only the outer screen glass has to be replaced.

I have searched on internet and found DIY repair videos to replace the LCD screen, but couldn't find any info about replacing the outer glass alone. But read its pretty hard to seperate the glass from LCD and replace it !!!

The LCD screen is costing around 120$ and the outer glass is costing 10-16$. I do not want to spend more unnecessarily if i can find a way to replace the outer glass myself.

Also, Samsung Focus is not oficially released here in India here, so i don't think i can approach the samsung itself.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Samsung focus lcd broken

Hi pranav. Same here , i have a samsung focus and lcd + outer glass screen is broken. In one of the screen replacement video i saw , the outer screen and the lcd as one unit and not seperate. Though , i am not completely sure.

Did you find a way to get the lcd or the outer glass for your phone in India?

Please contact me on sanchitkumar@gmail.com

Did you find a source for the replacement glass only? Please share.

I found only glass on eBay (hongkong or china i suppose). When i spoke to people from service center, all of them were saying it is not possible to replace only glass and they wont do it !!! i i don't know if it is really tough or they do not want to take much pain replacing glass and want to replace the whole LCD set which is easy for them.

And the total LCD + Digitizer + glass kit, i found it for 103$ in eBay US, and for 120 - 140$ in some other repair sites and Amazon.

Waiting for get the replacement from US as it costs less and get it fixed in a samsung service center.

Don't think that's possible. After all, the whole point of "super" in super amoled is that the glass is bonded to the display.

I've purchased the glass only and I'm waiting for it to arrive. It was very cheap and if it doesn't work, I'm not going to be too upset for buying it for about $11.00.

Amazon also has unit which is the LCD and digitizer already assembled.

I can update if and when I receive my replacement glass from gogotoshop. I find the place questionable but used paypal and can dispute the transaction if it isn't legit.

BTW....removing the glass & digitizer is not an easy task. From attempting to remove my broken screen, I don't think it is possible to remove it from the LCD as the previous posters mentioned.

mine is i937

Thanks for reply, But my phone is Samsung focus s (i937), and I didnot find the front class or Digitizer or LCD or all together.

I have the same problem the front glass broken. other things are ok, I asked on sumsung service center they said the whole thing has to change, I am sure experts can change only the front class.

Anybody has any idea about if I can buy it in India or any site who can ship to India.

or in UK, my frnd is coming from there I will ask him to buy there for me.

Please guys help me.

Thanks,

So just like the samsung and iphone models, the focus and focus s can be done the same way? I know for a fact that the galaxy s4 Active is best done by machine. Since ive tried but failed to do one. I have removed the glass from a galaxy s3 mini successfully, should this phone be the same? Please respond quickly!

Thank you
