How hard was it to add the adhesive to the new digitizer? Is there any tips or things you used to help put them in the right spot?

The part of the project -- using the double sided tape was very easy. Just follow the pictures and you won't have any left over pieces.

Actually if you are good with jig saw puzzles it will be easy. There is a picture and all you have to find the corresponding piece. Really it is a piece of cake.

You will need to get a digitizer and LCD all in one! DO NOT get just the digitizer!

You have to replace the screen with the digitizer because it's made on to the screen

The glass has no adhesive. I did buy a roll of the 2mm and I did need to use it. I also bought an additional kit but may not have needed it. A few extra guitar picks helped me. Replacing only the glass is a unique repair; it seems the glass and the screen are a component. There is a complete layer of adhesive between the LCD and the glass and that has to be completely removed and done without. Careful separation of the glass from the LCD is critical and with the right tools that will not damage the LCD. I watched as many S4 specific YouTube vids as I could find. More answer than you asked for but if it helps than it was worth a read.

Hello,Based on my own experience, this is the problem with the LCD panel. In the case of mine, the digitizer (the touch glass) is cracked but still working, but there is a black strip along the crack on the LCD. After replacing the LCD, everything is working fine now.

Billy is quite right. I would do the same. But as he says it is not so easy to change the digitizer as the screen it selfe. So be sure you know what your are doing before you start. BR Mads

No, you will need a few plastic pry tools and a hairdryer. The last thing you will need is knowledge of how to install the digitizer properly. YouTube is you friend for this.

I had spots appearing in random locations on the screen. Not sure if this is your problem. I pretty much narrowed it down by googling my issue and all solutions pointed to the digitizer.

its a bit tricky and it can be done but any mistakes installing can mess things up, like removing the screen you are looking to replace, I order a screen digitizer and it worked well.

Yes, or at least the ones I had purchased. Some of the digitizers come with the adhesive already pre-installed (recommended), or sent in the same package with the digitizer. I recommend finding one that is pre-installed. It will state so in the product description. It saves time and you will peace of mind knowing that the 3M Adhesive is in the correct spots.

I had the same problem. And for not being very careful I ended up cracking the digitizer (the part of the screen that detects your touching it.) so that made buy the whole part, meaning the digitize and screen. i got it from a company in china that sell real oem parts.hope this helps!!

the digitizer is attached to the screen, so i'm not sure if you can just replace the one.

The adhesive is actually a thin strip that goes only around the boarder right outside the digitizer. Be carful not to put it on the digitizer because that will cause your touch screen to have defects.

When I used my adhesive strips for the first time, I cut the strips in half and put then on the sides, top, and bottom so the filter could stay on there securely. Here is a link to get more adhesive tape. http://www.amazon.com/Adhesive-Sticker-Digitizer-Supersonic-Incredible/dp/B004WIQW3U/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1404923925&sr=8-3&keywords=3m+computer+adhesive+strips

There is no adhesive needed. The glass is already cured to the lcd / digitizer. It simply screws in.
