Chosen Solution
Hi, I’d like to know if it is possible to exchange the top glass of the Galaxy Nexus i9250. The screen on my device is working OK. Only the glass has cracked. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks .
yes you can replace just the glass which is LCD screen or also known as digitizer. you can buy the LCD screen on websites easily by looking up the model and could look up the teardown for it if you are willing to do the repair yourself.
I think you can. I also think it’s pretty easy, but you need to be really really careful. I tried using the method xicotorro posted above, this one. Seems the gnex glass is connected the same way. Tips: Heat the whole glass, this way the glass wont put much pressure on certain spots on the screen.Use a really really thin and preferably long plastic object. I tried using a guitar pick and it was too thick. Let the air bubbles do the work.Always keep in mind making sure there is extremly little pressure on the screen.Do not try to bend the glass up using the screen as leverage. Really. This might sound trivial, but thats how I broke the screen. (Maybe I’m just stupid)Underneath the screen, theres a tape-like thingy. Make sure not to affect this in anyway. (I don’t know why, but it seems important)The edges are good insertion points for the plastic thingy. Disclaimer: I broke my screen. Apparantly the screen isnt very elastic. : ) Anyone in the Oslo, Norway area who happens to have a spare phone?
i found this video, any posibility to work on the galaxy nexus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZuiCsAtT…
I’ve tried this myself on the Galaxy Nexus i9250. Unless you have done something like this before you have 0% chance of this working out. If you do then: Start at the top end near the speaker to lift the first bit up. This is by far the hardest part. Do not start at the bottom where the glass is the thinkest as you risk lifting off the gitizer (another layer of glass that sits between the surface glass and the LCD. The top near the speaker is the thinnest part of the glass. Start at the edge.If you crack a bit off then I would still work my way down, I didn’t and lifted most off the phone off before realising that I cracked the digitizer underneathHeat the surface slowly touching it with your fingers so it’s not too hot otherwise you will burn the digitizer and it will go from black to baby shite greenThe glue is on the whole digitizer (the glass underneath the glass) so you need to slowly etch the top layer off - I would heat just the top bit until you get something undernearth to lift and then heat the whole thing Good luck…
Only attempt it if you are very good with a heat gun.

Replacement of outer glass on mobile phone in Cape Town instead of entire LCD screen - costs less! Is it possible to change ONLY the Glass?
Don’t do it.. The glass is way to sticky and will crack everything underneath it when you try. Lesson learned.
no, its best to just buy the lcd&digitizer (cheapest i found was 80 or so on ebay) that repair is not too bad if you just keep track of the screws which isnt hard (there are 7 in total) and refer to the teardown. I have done this replacement about three times and can tear the phone down with my eyes closed
here i made a video about how to change it in theory. it is very accurate in whiteboard. it is about 30 minutes but it will help you to understand all you must do. nexus are a little more difficult than galaxy but they are simillar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOAauYYN… here it is other video about samsung s4 i know it is not your phone but it might help you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCeoVSVw…

Yes, you can replace only front glass. Because its not connected to phone’s touch screen glass. Its separated from inside screen. you can buy front glass online at amazaon.com
