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.

From what I understand, you only need this if your screen is cracked. If your screen is cracked AND it does not respond to touch inputs then you may need a digitizer as well.

Well if your touch sensors is still responsive to ur touch than you dont need a digitizer just a screen replacement

If you can still see an image, your digitizer is fine. If you have streaks, if it won't accept input, or you have no image at all, then you need a new digitizer.

If the phone still works you only need a new screen. If you can't operate the phone then you need a new digitizer

they anounce it as OEM but the quality is so low that I doubt that, not sure what you mean with digitizer but this has everything but the mother board and a couple of items that will be taken out of the original phone

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

I ordered 2 separate screens one was only the digitizer so I ordered a different one this is just the part that goes under the actual screen, now the other I ordered came with the screen and another digitizer and the tools but no glue and that is needed thankfully a local cell store helped me out with that. I would ask your provider what exactly you need and if they assist if not ask another I went to sprint and my provider is verizon of course they just wanted me to buy a new phone of course definitely check around because it is repairable.

Don't buy this. The glass is not meant to be separated from the digitizer. Either buy the glass with the digitizer already attached or bring it to a phone repair shop an have them repair it for you. I found out the hard way.

The answer is no. the plastic does come with it and it is not easy to remove it from digitizer. Do not use heat to release adhesive or it will shrink the plastic and you will not be able to reuse it. The plastic bezel is virtually impossible to find so try not to damage. By chance if you find one let me know where I would like to get one myself.

This glass will work don't take your phone apart chip the glass out and glue the other in but don't hurt the digitizer

If your LCD is fine than yes you only need to replace the glass. As a heads up some sell just the glass and some sell the glass with the digitizer. The digitizer is the touch response component of the screen. If you buy it already together it is a much easier and quicker repair and cost difference is very little.

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.

No. This is the full screen and digitizer part of the phone. The old broken part needs to be removed from the phone by opening the back and removing all the screws. Check out youtube for more info.

Just the digitizer. When I got mine from them it was broke and they never responded to my email at first.... I wouldn't get it from this company. ..

If I am not mistaken, it has the digitizer built in. I really don't remember as I changed this months ago. I apologize!

The digitizer is the clear screen that is on the front of the phone they are pretty cheap 5 or 6 bucks the LCD is behind the digitizer and they are more expensive. Hope this helps

No telling.. its been a long time.. its an awful replacement procedure unless you've replaced screens before and are familiar and have the proper tools. Even then,,,, ugh.. It may not work... Lot of time and aggravation for possible benefit. I notice digitizers are a lot less expensive now, so price isn't such a big risk anymore. Go for it only if you're adventurous and have too much time on your hands..

Double check that the digitizer connector is secure. I damaged the ribbon cable to the screen the first time I tried to fix my phone. I had the opposite problem, my touch screen would respond but no picture. Double check that the digitizer cable isn't damages either. Just a tiny tear ruined mine

Hi Rachel, Nope, there is a digitizer that is also needed as even the "Pros" that I went to would not attempt repairing the screen without it. The price of both is around $165 for the necessary part(s) and the pros typically charge about $50 so your out of pocket would be a little over $200. Sorry for the bad news.

This is Ont the digitizer but if you can still touch the screen and make it work you want this, but if there is any bleeding of color on your LCD which is behind the digitizer you want to find the combo for digitizer andddd LCD.
