The glass on the front of my Nexus 4 is cracked; still responds to touch & LCD is good. Plan on having a professional do it, will this be all I need?

A professional could replace your glass with just these parts. However, separating the glass from the LCD is a huge pain (they're glued together), and labor costs may be high. Buying the LCD display + touch screen digitizer assembly, while about 40 dollars extra up front, may gain you a net savings via reduced labor cost. I'd try to get quotes for both to be sure. Hope this helps.

If the it's only the screen that is cracked, then all you need is the front glass which can be installed using a tutorial guide on YouTube. If the screen won't display some images, then you will have to buy a new LCD as well.

Yes it might be for some. You have to have a lot of patience. There is some very good vids you'll find on YouTube do your research and see if it's worth the cost to repair yourself If you think you might break it vs. Going to a repair shop. If you do go to a shop should cost you more than 20 bucks for the labor. Minus the replacement screen.

I don't think your LCD is Cracked... Touch Screen Digitizer is completely different than the LCD... The touch screen digitizer is the outer screen ... The LCD is underneath the digitizer... So I think it's the touch screen digitizer that is cracked not your LCD, so yes this would work if your outer screen is cracked

Potentially. I've been repairing electronics for the past 4 years, so take that in consideration when I say that replacing the screen on a nexus4 is not an easy job. There are a half dozen tools you would need for the job, and the thing is not designed to be opened and upgraded easily. If you feel comfortable with this kind of repair, then I expect this will fix your issues. However, if your screen is simply not displaying (and the backlight is not coming on) your connection for the screen may have come unplugged, I would open it and check the connections first before dropping 80$ on a new screen.

The concept is simple: if you can do work the apps thru the broken glass, the digitizer if fine. However, I'm a pretty handy guy and it was a nasty experience. I recommend you call Amazon and take the replacement deal instead. Good luck. Dimitri

Yes this is the part you need if just the outer screen is cracked. If the LCD is cracked, it either won't turn on at all, or will be black in that area. This is a fairly simple repair, but like he other answer, you need the right tools and you should follow the guide on ifixit.com

Which phone? for my broken Nexus 4 fixed using "Generic OEM Full LCD Display Monitor+Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly for LG Nexus 4 E960" and it is working fine....

No :) This is for Nexus 4, not N7. Plus, by the sound of your message, there is damage to the LCD itself (pixels on the screen), not just the digitizer (glass part you touch to use the phone). LCD broken or not, trust me that paying extra for LCD + Digitizer is money much more wisely spent. Cheers, Louis.

good day yes you do have to remove the front glass and a litle warning, be very carefull with that process, the lcd screen is very fragile the best way to do it is to heat the glass with a hair dryer and slowly insert a razor blade between the glass and digitizer *** it should come off easely*** do not force it to come off... start from the top corner if you need more info you can always go on youtube to see how it's done good luck

Your question is going out to other shoppers like yourself not to the seller. There is a separate link for contacting the seller. However personally I would not want to buy just the glass because from experience separating and/or rejoining the LCD and the glass usually results in failure of one or both. Way cheaper and and easier to replace the digitizer and the LCD as a unit.

Its easy straight forward fix,it has a step by step video,on the same issue,also its best to purchase the complete front housing (LCD,digitizer, front plate) this is the link Watch "Galaxy S4 Screen Replacement / Frame Exchange / T..." on YouTube - Galaxy S4 Screen Replacement / Frame Exchange / T...: http://youtu.be/wPXVnTlrqeo

That is correct, however on mine I thought this was the case, but after replacing the glass I did note that the lcd had a bad spot that I was unable to notice before I swapped the glass out, so if it is smashed and you are not sure, the lcd may have a bad spot under the glass that you can not see. I thought this kit was great, cheap and fairly easy to replace, in my case I am fine with a bad pixel or two and am quite happy with the end result, If you are unsure if the lcd is perfect, you may end up with a bad pixel you didn't know you had, just so you know :) Good luck!

I am not electronics expert but this is my story and I hope it helps...The screen got cracked on my first generation Nexus 7. This unit was installed by my local tech in about 20 minutes and cost me $40 for the labor. He said this was the best option because it included the screen and all other components for the plug and play install. You can by pieces separately but then you need to have them heat up the screen to remove it which will cost you more in labor. I dont know what a digitizer is, but this unit was fully assembled with a plug attached and very easy for the tech to remove and replace. Have a great day!

I don't believe it will. The glass cover protects the digitizer (touch screen functions) and the LCD that displays the visuals. If your LCD is not showing anything then your core problem is deeper in the phone. Your video section is bad for some reason, probably a power disconnect to the LCD or backlight.

Probably not because you broke it when you installed it . If it was cracked or damaged before hand then maybe the company will honor it. I once had a glass screen I installed have one of the ribbons tear loose during install from apparent bad QC on the manufacturers side and the vendor replaced it for me

It was difficult and time consuming. I had a heat gun and a laser temperature gun. The glue under the screen was super strong and didn't want to release the glass. My glass was totally shattered and I ended up scratching the part under the glass a little bit and, even though I thought I had cleaned it thoroughly, I ended up with a couple bits of something in between the glass and the LCD screen. However, my phone works fine now and the little bit of damage I did to my under screen is less of an issue than the completely shattered glass was. I bought my phone used for $100 and the couple of places I checked about repairing it wanted nearly that much, so I tried this rather than replacing my phone. It was difficult and time consuming.
