Dude I have repaired lots of phones in the past and I have seen lots of glass only repair tutorials but your video is the best I've ever seen. You include all info that anybody would need to repair a S3. Keep up the good work man.
You sir are incredible!!! This video is not only informative but extremely detailed (step-by-step) CLEAR instructions on how to PROPERLY replace the glass on a GS3. Also I'm very impressed with all the attention to the key components of properly placing pressure to prevent the glue from seeping into places it has no business being in...haha. Your prep work and techniques are incredible which you really don't see in other videos. They just breeze through it and I'm sure it's done on purpose so that others can try it and after a few failed attempts they give up and send their phone in to get it done professionally. (which I'm not entirely against because business is business) but for those who just want to mess around and have fun with a project you must watch this video!!!!! Much appreciated and many thanks for spending time to properly film this process and share it with the world. I will do my part and recommend this video to everyone. Thanks again and looking forward to seeing the same process for other phones.
JCD Repair You are awesome for making this video. I recently repaired my Note 2 and your video was the most helpful. For the screen removal, I used a heat gun to get the temps between 160 and 180F. I tracked the temps with a thermal leak detector I already had. I used a random rewards card to separate the screen from glue. To clean the digitizer I used eyeglass spray cleaner. In preparation for the LOCA glue, I removed the motherboard and snapped the screen back into the plastic casing. Instead of using 3M tape to seal the replacement glass, I bought some pre-cut adhesive sheets. For the LOCA glue install, I used the amount recommended on the bottle I bought from Amazon (there are diff amounts for different screen sizes). Then I used the technique with the food saver and a UV flashlight to harden the glue. I then took the screen out of the plastic casing to clean and harden any glue on the backside (some glue got into my volume buttons which was easy to clean). Home button had glue and with a wet towel I pressed it many times until it stopped coming out. The glue is messy but its all worth it in the end. Once again, Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm a 53yo female fixed my phone with no problems. I didn't have a hot plate but I had a portable induction cooker that you can set the temp. I placed a flat cast iron griddle on top, set the temp to 160 and used a infared thermometer I bought at Harbor Freight, then a UV like my sister had for her sculptured nails worked perfectly!
Thank you JCD for the tips. I like the minimal amount of tools being used here and the vacuum seal thing is genius! Once again my hat goes off to you ol sport!
This video needs more views, how to do this stuff professionally. Was gonna try some ways others do it, but I've learned an art from this video, and implicitly, what not to do
Would you mind showing us a gallery or a walk-around of your workshop area? That's probably the cleanest station I've seen for working on mobile devices. Mine is a mess.
Best repair job I've seen on UA-cam, very professional, no corners where cut you took your time and done a proper job, well done 10/10 Im very iffy about paying someone to fix any of my electronics but if they took the care and attention like you do I would happily pay them, but until I find someone equal to your high standards I'll continue to do my own repairs (with the aid/help of your videos) Many Thanks
It took me 5 hours (mostly cleaning) but i did it. I followed every step. My phone looks nice and clean, I hope it will still works in 2 weeks from now :)
You are definitely a good teacher on this. I understood it carefully and I, for one need to look at more of your videos because I've repaired the jack piece where the charger cord goes in into the bottom of an HTC I have although I was successful on it, the video I've had to watch to learn it was too complicated to learn and it and it gave me a hard time to get it. So thank you lots for being available to us all . You are thee man.
Great tutorial. I've done two S3's with these directions now and no issues except for not using quite enough LOCA on one leaving a couple of small bubbles on the edge, but still much better than the broken glass and better than doing the "glass with tape only" repair.
i did this. I found that using fishing line was very helpful. If your planning on doing this just be really care full on the bottom left of the screen by the menu button
Thank you sir. Did my first UV glue repair. I made a couple of mistakes so i got one air bubble next to home button and UV glue spread to front camera, volume button and lcd connector. I cleaned those up so everything worked fine. I think the leaks was caused partly because i used 1mm double sided tape instead of 2mm.
Thank you for an incredibly informative and thorough repair. The attention to detail and every item involved was perfect. This was my second LOCA glass replacement, I do not have a food saver, but to set the corners and remove air bubbles I gently press them out with a dark microfiber cloth covering the portion of screen I am not working on, and once the bubbles are gone I expose a small portion of the screen to the UV light.
Best repair video for Samsung devices I've seen. Thanks for putting this together. I've been (very slowly) working on an S4 but was putting off the actual glass attachment because I wanted some tips to avoid air bubbles. This video pointed out several details that will help me in the final repair. I'll let you know how it goes!
I have just lost my LCD and i have seen many attempts to do this work none are as thought filled as yours is. i will attempt to follow your method. i bought a kit from iexpertstudios on Ebay who state actual OEM parts nothing regarding loca glue was mentioned. time to research that.
That was an expert repair for sure. Well done. I have a question that I can't figure out. When you put on the 1/2 inch tape on the bottom, was that double sided? I saw you put it on and take it off so it must be double sided. If it was, would it block the two contacts either side of the home button. Hope I have illustrated my point. Thanks for all your work and generosity of the information.
you my friend are a genius, the quality of this replacement far exceeded other repairs, got a note 3 I was thinking about doing myself ( BUT ) I think you would do a better job how quick is your turn around from receiving to shipping and are you interested in doing it.
Props for the extra care you show (air bubble in syringe, etc) this is the best glass replacement video I've seen on UA-cam. I wish you guys were in Europe too, to fix my screen .) I guess I'll just try myself. Can anyone recommend an alternative to foodsaver?
+Zoltán Páll This is obviously a top-notch way to do this repair, but an investment in all the tools is only feasible for someone doing a lot of units. You can work the glue to the corners and sides with gentle, steady pressure using your fingers. Go very slowly and be very patient. That said, this is an EXCELLENT video for anyone wanting to know the tricks of the trade.
GREAT JOB on this video! The best SGS3 LOCA video I've seen yet! Please make more man keep it up! I'd love to see some Galaxy Note 2/3 or GS4! You da man! Subscribed
Great video .. have you ever done the Nexus 5 glass with this method? Do you know the correct amount of loca to use on the Nexus 5 glass? Any changes in this procedure for an S3 since I'll be doing a Nexus 5?
A very well made video thank you. I'm curious as to why you appear to switch phones part way through. @36:46 the shape of the glue under the glass is very different from the one shown in the bag a moment before.
I love this video and have watched it man times. I used some of your tecniques and tried it out, pretty cool! I was wondering if you guys still use the vacuum seal method?
Great job with this repair got to do my S7 edge. can't say I'm looking forward to it as I'm used to working on Cars. Thanks for tips and temp to reach.
This is probably the best repair video I have ever seen, and I watched it from start to finish. Great narration, cinematography and documentation. This is how it should be done. I have a few short questions: 1) Does a Galaxy Note II repair follow the same process as the S3 [remove the broken glass, then the motherboard, then tape off for LOCA, etc.] or is there a better way to do it? 2) LOCA I've found isn't available in graduated (marked in mL) tubes with plungers. Can it safely be dispensed or drawn into a syringe for application? 3) If I apply too much or too little LOCA and need to restart, what should I use to clean the glass, screen, etc. for the next attempt? How much LOCA for a big screen like the Galaxy Note?
great tutorial. thanks for highlighting the dangers of ripping off the ribbon connectors when taking the screen glass off. many others didnt mention this :)
Thanks for the in-depth video tutorial! Could I omit the LOCA glue and just use the double-sided tape around all the edges? What could be cons to this approach? Thanks!
Hi. Are they glued using LOCA from the factory? I'm just wondering how you'd go on if you had to repair it a second time. Often the LCD needs to also be changed when the front glass has been glued with LOCA.
Is the glue viscosity low enough for the glue to seep into a glass crack, without removal or anything? There's just a single crack that goes across my screen. If there's a clear glue out there that could seep into that that would be fantastic. No glass replacement necessary. You propably could still see it afterwards but it would be almost invisible.
Would it be wrong to take out power and volume buttons to save it from getting uv glue on them and maybe making them stuck and unfunctionable because they glued stiff?
Holy crap. I was staring at just about how much glue you put on there and mimicked that, and so much glue came out of the buttons and the sides, took forever to clean up!
If you wall want to avoid getting loca glue into your camera and proximity sensor you will need to take your amoled (lcd)screen off from the frame. Use a uv loca mold to align glass and screen.
Great informative video. Could I please ask does the double sided tape go straight over the two button connections to the glass or does the conductive part need to contact the glass? Also is the thin tape you use to stop the adhesive leaking a sponge type of double sided tape or just normal type,thanks once again 😉
Do you have a video or know of a good one that show glass removal for the Note 3? Would I use the same temp settings? The adhesive seems to be tougher on this model. Thanks!
Just a suggestion - you could add in to the title that this is a front glass repair for the s3 as weirdly, I only found this via google now as it came up from me searching for front glass repairs. I'd only found quite rubbish ones before this one, keep up the good work!
If you only use double-sided tape under the sides of the new glass to hold it in place instead of UV-adhesive, could you refrain from removing the motherboard and camera?
I had my screen replaced by the local cell phone repair shop. It sounds like they used a process similar to this...but my brand new screen had a large thumbprint in the middle of it when they delivered it back to me. They say they can't replace the screen again...but they put it back under the UV light for awhile - with no success. After that, my sim card stopped working. Now, they are ordering a new screen protector (not sure how that would help). I watched this video in its entirety...and it is not clear to me in and how the LCD screen was cleaned before re-attaching the glass. And, how mine might have received a huge fingerprint during the process? Do you have any ideas? So far, they have refused to make this right and now I have a non-working phone (sim no longer works) with a huge thumbprint....

Thanks man this video helped me fix my sisters Galaxy s4. I only had a hairdryer but actually preferred it. Still came off in a few mins. I set the glue out in a syringe like you said but with a little more glue as its bigger screen. Had no air bubbles what so ever UNTIL 😓 the glue joined from both sides. But didnt panic got them all out and there was at least 10-12 bubbles just gently spread them out. Phone works perfect now like new thx again.
Without the use of the adhesive two things could happen. The first is that the digitizer might not respond correctly and the second is that air bubbles will appear in the display. Another issue is the through put from the display will be reduced and it will not look right also any imperfections in the digitizer will appear.
I first did it without the glue and only used a pre-cut adhesive sheet. I noticed that a bubble appeared in the middle where the digitizer and glass screen touched. I also noticed that the bubble area showed better colors and sharper text compared to the rest of the screen where the digitizer and glass didn't touch. Even though the touch sensitivity of the screen wasn't affected, that bubble was annoying and I wanted the rich factory colors and screen brightness as shown in the bubble area. So I redid the screen using the glue and its like brand new again =)
A hot plate is not a good idea for repairing phones, seeing as you said "you can melt the frame of the phone". Something as simple as a hair/blow dryer works perfectly fine to repair most phones/devices. Hair/blow dryers don't get as hot as heat guns do, and there's much less chance of burning the screen. You could even mount the hair/blow dryer on something like a desk lamps base, so you have constant heat being applied while working on the phone. It also would have been much easier to run the adhesive strips up & down the whole length of the sides of the phone, rather than taking time to cut them. I've never seen that vacuum method before, but it seems that mostly beneficial for stopping the screen from re-lifting during the curing process. Still a good repair, but could have been done a bit easier.
+kollegs101 Don't really have a particular one that I can recommend. I bought a Conair 1875 from a thrift store for $5.95. If anything when purchasing one from a major retail store, see if the packaging tells you how hot it gets. I would also see about one that has that flat attachment, you can put on the end of it to spread out the heat. I just did an S3 for the first time a few days ago. It came out good. I did get a bubble, but worked it off to the side. 2.5ml of LOCA was enough.
Hi,i follow your method.I removed glass screen with hairdryer and ir thermometer.I dont go over 160F and my display have stain.I overhet display.Why if i dont go over 160F?
i'm confused with the temperatures here: are you measuring the screen in F and the hot-plate in C? Otherwise how does the screen gets to 200 C when the plate is only 160?
A few tips: 1) If you're going to remove the logic board at all it makes sense to remove it at the start of the process. 2) You clean the digitizer and then lay it down on the table 3) You're using a metal screwdriver to disconnect a flex cable, always a bad idea,
David James I watched another video where they took the motherboard out first. When I made my repair, I pulled the motherboard first. If I do it again, I'll leave the motherboard in so I can check the LCD before continuing. Fortunately, I didn't damage mine but I didn't know until it was done.
Thank god i found ur video. it made my job so much easier. Thank u Thank u. Quick question tho I googled APS uv liquid glue and could not find it to purchase in bulk 1.1 litre bottle like you have but to no avail. Also could you do more videos for other popular phones? I am ansciously waiting. You don't know how many videos i've watched to just blotch a job because they're not meticulous. Once again THANKS!
What is the cost for a complete glass repair on a Mobile phone. The cost for a tablet glass repair. Many of us would like to know what your charges are and of the shipping.
Okay. Well. I tried replacing my glass and I didn't know if the sticky stuff (Preset Adhesive) was important, so I pealed it off and threw it the trash. I put the new screen on it and it works OKAY-ish but keeps on coming off due to the lack of adhesive. So currently there is plane Digitizer and Glass without adhesive. I was wondering if I can add this liquid adhesive as an replacement of the original adhesive that was there before?
Just wondering how the temperature climbs over the set amount of 160 degrees to the temps shown in the video if the heat plate is set to only 160. Great video though and very informative! Thanks!
Belated response, but it's because the hot plate is 160C (320F) which will rapidly bring up the temp of the glass. It's a bit confusing because his thermometer is set to F and his hot plate to C.

Tedious but this is the greatest repair video I have ever seen.
This is the best video of how to I have ever watched. This is the only way to do it right.
Wow this is the best replacement video of a s3 touchscreen that I've ever seen thank you so much.
That trick with the food saver is probably the most genius thing I've ever seen. Lol.

Good job! You have the best method I've watched so far. I just have a question. How much glue do I need for a S2, S3, S4, Note 2, Note 3?
It took me 5 hours (mostly cleaning) but i did it. I followed every step. My phone looks nice and clean, I hope it will still works in 2 weeks from now :)
This was the most professional replacement i've seen..

Excellent !! You had to be trained by CPR ?
Very nice expert repair video. Looks very difficult to do for an average person.
That was an expert repair for sure. Well done. I have a question that I can't figure out. When you put on the 1/2 inch tape on the bottom, was that double sided?

Thanks for all your work and generosity of the information.
Are the buttons pressure buttons so they do not need a contact with the glass screen?

I don't have a UV light, can I put it near the window and get the same results🤔. Thanks
have you ever thought of using the food saver bag with oca glue??

Fascinating and instructive, a rare combo - thank you :)
that bag trick is genius!
the13islucky I just bought my freshsaver handheld system lol. Also you should tag this video "loca bubbles fix". Ive been searching for forever...
Is repair to the newer curved screens possible at this point?
is it possible to remove the lcd and glass which are perfect from a dented and ruined main housing?
Do you have a video or know of a good one that show glass removal for the Note 3? Would I use the same temp settings? The adhesive seems to be tougher on this model. Thanks!
What is Loca Glue Lamp UV for? I dont understand what it does. Cant you just take the loca glue and replace the screen without taking that blue light?
so satisfying watching that glue flow 28:49
Just a suggestion - you could add in to the title that this is a front glass repair for the s3 as weirdly, I only found this via google now as it came up from me searching for front glass repairs. I'd only found quite rubbish ones before this one, keep up the good work!
Great suggestion and thank you. I've now updated the title to include the "front glass" phrase.
Great, you're welcome!

Can you post a video on how to replace front screen on a droid ultra/maxx
If you only use double-sided tape under the sides of the new glass to hold it in place instead of UV-adhesive, could you refrain from removing the motherboard and camera?
Yes you can do that. The motherboard, camera & proximity sensors are primarily removed so you don't get any of the LOCA glue on them.
Quick question what UV curing lamp are you using?
please upload a video on how to replace htc desire eye front glass
Where can I buy the adhesives you used here extremely interested
The repair kit I bought does not include glue....just tape...Will it function properly without glue?? Thanks...
I had my screen replaced by the local cell phone repair shop. It sounds like they used a process similar to this...but my brand new screen had a large thumbprint in the middle of it when they delivered it back to me. They say they can't replace the screen again...but they put it back under the UV light for awhile - with no success. After that, my sim card stopped working. Now, they are ordering a new screen protector (not sure how that would help). I watched this video in its entirety...and it is not clear to me in and how the LCD screen was cleaned before re-attaching the glass. And, how mine might have received a huge fingerprint during the process? Do you have any ideas? So far, they have refused to make this right and now I have a non-working phone (sim no longer works) with a huge thumbprint....
didnt you put the tape on the home button to protect it form the glue, only to remove the tape as youre setting the glue? or am I high
where can i get those tools that you show on the video, it's really a good tutorial to fix a cell phone, thanks for the kind assistance

But didnt panic got them all out and there was at least 10-12 bubbles just gently spread them out. Phone works perfect now like new thx again.
You are a pro. Great vid
Very good video, question, will it be ok if I don't use UV glue?
Without the use of the adhesive two things could happen. The first is that the digitizer might not respond correctly and the second is that air bubbles will appear in the display. Another issue is the through put from the display will be reduced and it will not look right also any imperfections in the digitizer will appear.
I first did it without the glue and only used a pre-cut adhesive sheet. I noticed that a bubble appeared in the middle where the digitizer and glass screen touched. I also noticed that the bubble area showed better colors and sharper text compared to the rest of the screen where the digitizer and glass didn't touch. Even though the touch sensitivity of the screen wasn't affected, that bubble was annoying and I wanted the rich factory colors and screen brightness as shown in the bubble area. So I redid the screen using the glue and its like brand new again =)
muy muy muy muy buen videooo la próxima en castellano porfa como se llama el liquido y donde se compra mas la jeringa ??
A hot plate is not a good idea for repairing phones, seeing as you said "you can melt the frame of the phone". Something as simple as a hair/blow dryer works perfectly fine to repair most phones/devices. Hair/blow dryers don't get as hot as heat guns do, and there's much less chance of burning the screen. You could even mount the hair/blow dryer on something like a desk lamps base, so you have constant heat being applied while working on the phone. It also would have been much easier to run the adhesive strips up & down the whole length of the sides of the phone, rather than taking time to cut them. I've never seen that vacuum method before, but it seems that mostly beneficial for stopping the screen from re-lifting during the curing process. Still a good repair, but could have been done a bit easier.
Hi, i tend to agree with you. Can you kindly recommend a particular hair dryer for glass repair
+kollegs101 Don't really have a particular one that I can recommend. I bought a Conair 1875 from a thrift store for $5.95. If anything when purchasing one from a major retail store, see if the packaging tells you how hot it gets. I would also see about one that has that flat attachment, you can put on the end of it to spread out the heat. I just did an S3 for the first time a few days ago. It came out good. I did get a bubble, but worked it off to the side. 2.5ml of LOCA was enough.
may I know how many screens can repair with this? And do you use oca?
Do you really need uv glue or can you do withkut?
Hi,i follow your method.I removed glass screen with hairdryer and ir thermometer.I dont go over 160F and my display have stain.I overhet display.Why if i dont go over 160F?
i'm confused with the temperatures here: are you measuring the screen in F and the hot-plate in C?
Otherwise how does the screen gets to 200 C when the plate is only 160?
A few tips:
1) If you're going to remove the logic board at all it makes sense to remove it at the start of the process.
2) You clean the digitizer and then lay it down on the table
3) You're using a metal screwdriver to disconnect a flex cable, always a bad idea,
David James any tips on cleaning glue from camera hole?
David James I watched another video where they took the motherboard out first. When I made my repair, I pulled the motherboard first. If I do it again, I'll leave the motherboard in so I can check the LCD before continuing. Fortunately, I didn't damage mine but I didn't know until it was done.
It takes 2 seconds to put the logic board back into the frame so you can test the LCD
Can I put on the glass without that UV or LOCA glue?
Can we use putty knife to separate glass with other models I.e note 2 3,4,5 except active or edge
so if the plate is at 160deg how would it ever get over 200? whats the common use for those plates, like where would I find one?
This may sound dumb but could I use my stove as a heating plate it is an electric stove it doesent have a flame
do you have a video for replacing the screen and digitizer on a blu life pro?
may i use B-7000 Glue for up the LCD? or better that glue is for side of the LCD(case) ? thanks
Hi, could you tell me where you bought the vacuum pump?
Thank god i found ur video. it made my job so much easier. Thank u Thank u. Quick question tho I googled APS uv liquid glue and could not find it to purchase in bulk 1.1 litre bottle like you have but to no avail. Also could you do more videos for other popular phones? I am ansciously waiting. You don't know how many videos i've watched to just blotch a job because they're not meticulous. Once again THANKS!
where are u located and how much does the repair cost
Is there an alternative to the food saver step?
Same process for an S5 Active? The home and other buttons are not built into the "glass" as it were.
I successfully did my second phone thank you dude!!
What is the cost for a complete glass repair on a Mobile phone. The cost for a tablet glass repair. Many of us would like to know what your charges are and of the shipping.
Thank you man. This is what I'm gonna do. Thanks.
Okay. Well. I tried replacing my glass and I didn't know if the sticky stuff (Preset Adhesive) was important, so I pealed it off and threw it the trash. I put the new screen on it and it works OKAY-ish but keeps on coming off due to the lack of adhesive. So currently there is plane Digitizer and Glass without adhesive. I was wondering if I can add this liquid adhesive as an replacement of the original adhesive that was there before?
A new experience method.....my congratulations
Are you using APS UV-346 or UV-340?
Is it better to use the thicker 2500 LOCA or the thinner 1000 LOCA?
Just wondering how the temperature climbs over the set amount of 160 degrees to the temps shown in the video if the heat plate is set to only 160. Great video though and very informative! Thanks!
Belated response, but it's because the hot plate is 160C (320F) which will rapidly bring up the temp of the glass.
It's a bit confusing because his thermometer is set to F and his hot plate to C.
