If the phone is still operational, whereas the touch functions still work and a good picture, then it's just the glass you need. If the touch function isn't responsive, its the digitizer. If there is no picture, obvious crack in the picture, or color bleeding in the picture itself, then it is the LCD.

What is a glass digitizer? How do you get? Install? one.Does this solve the problem that the touchscreen needs to be reset and then doesn't stay set?

That would be your LCD. The little spot you saw on the screen was an ink spot. So you need to replace your lcd not your Digitizer unless the surface is shattered as well.

Together, if I understand question. I first bought just the glass cover ($5-10), but cracked the digitizer trying to remove old broken glass with a heat gun. This item $120ish was easy to replace, just watch the u tube video instructions first.

No that is the lcd display its self. If you can still read the display and there is a crack on top you need the digitizer. The display is a separate component directly below the digitizer. When you replace it they come out together and then separate them to replace each piece. Here is a good resource for instructions on how to do the job www.ifixit.com.

This particular screen is only for the outer glass screen. The inner screen is attached to the digitizer. It would be best to get a new assembly.

Looks like both huh? Unfortunately it's only the glass screen, no digitizer.

If the touch works you don't need the digitizer. But in the process of replacing LCD if you break the digitizer ribbon then you are out of luck. Better get both. I was able to replace the screen (LCD + digitizer) in under an hour and that was my first and only time.

Are you speaking of the LCD display unit? The digitizer is the glass screen on the face of the phone, and the touch feature of the phone is integral with the digitizer. It plugs into the board. If your LCD screen is cracked (obvious by a color bleed across the screen), you will need to replace it as well (another part).

The digitizer is the black screen below the glass screen. Unless your a professional I would not recommend you attempt to replace just your glass, as you will most likely damage the digitizer in the process. I would recommend just buying the screen and digitizer as one piece and replacing it all. Runs about $80-$100

If the screen display is working, you do not need to buy the LCD screen, it's usually the digitizer glass that is cracked and that only cost 10 dollars.

No- I believe you would need a new 'screen digitizer' but not certain. Very sure this item will not fix that.

Yes, takes time, a heat gun, and patience. Start with the less broken part work it up and dig the tiny out after the screen is off. Be careful don't break the digitizer.

You broke the LCD, you're going to need at least a new LCD, probably the "easiest" thing would be to simply get a new LCD/digitizer glass assembly and swap out the whole unit.

I only replaced the glass with this kit. I do not know how to replace a digitizer - good luck.

It's best to get the glass with the digitizer. It is a pain or almost impossible to separate the glass without breaking the digitizer.
