[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drevilatwork:
Replacing only the 19$ glass on the galaxy note

first i want to point out that THIS BLOG'S NAME IS MISSLEADING!!!! THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CHANGE JUST THE BROKEN GLASS. what the guy did is he ordered the complete screen and in the process of puting it on he realized that it might be posible to change just the glass. i need to point this out because a lot of folks like me run into this blog thinking is a tutorial on how to change just the glass. they go through it and at the end realize that it is not what is seems to be. i oredered just the glass of ebay and relized that if one manages to get the old glass off, one is still left with a screen full of epoxy residue. when taking the glass off one needs a lot of paciance and use exacto knife blades as shims and hit the glass but not too much or else it will hurt the screee as it happened to me. the yellow stains in the pics are caused by me holding the heat gun tooo long. one needs to heat the glass and the blade. than

get the blade between the glass and the screen and than heat the glass next to the blade and move the blade a bit and heat the glass and move the blade and heat the glass and move the blade until the blade covers all the area between the glass and the screen at which point the glass comes off. after this one needs to clean the screen f all the opozy residue. what i did is screpe it off with the exacto knife. whit the rectangular blade, the one seen in the pics. i also used a bit - just a bit goo gone on a napkin. and after the screen was glue free i put a screen cover between the screen and the glass as to replace the space of the missing glue. also, for some

reason, after this procedure, the screen is much more touch sensitive so one hase to download the app touchscreentune for galaxy note from the market and put the sensitivity from the recomended 25 to 50. when replacing the glass, the only thing holding the glass to the phone will be the sticky black tape on the edges and on the upper and lower part. what i did is i got a protective case made of hard plastic. this will protect the note while also making sure the glass dosent go anywere.

the other thing that psss me off (besides the misleading title of this blog) is why in the name of darwin did samsung chose to glue the

f ing glass to the f ing screen?there are thousands of ways to keep the glass in place and glueing it to the screen is not the best

one. why cant they just do it like the iphone where you just get the f ing glass and change it in 20 mins. i know cause i did it. why o

why samsung you chose to do such a wonderfull device and that get a extra slim not even gorilla glass on the device so that at the

first drop it brakes adn after that you chose to glue it to that beautiful screen. why samsung? why?!?! i feel like taking a trip to

korea just to kick in the nuts the first samsung engineer/ designer i find. so ther you go folks: it can be dose - changing just the

glass but it will take half a day which is still worth it if one can same 230 bucks by buying just the glass instead of the whole

scren. PEACE!!!

will post pics as soon and will make a new thread with this stuff
