Samsung won't fix it without charging you for a whole screen which they charge £180 here in the uk.. So i'm afraid you're going to have to deal with it. Or buy the digitizer which comes with the whole front housing.. And i would never recomend using toothpaste and all the other crap to get scratches off it really doesn't work, It also makes your screen very worse...

Its a question in the wrong forum
Its a question posted multiple times = use search .
probable answer ignore
use a screen protector
see DIY changing glass video
paid for replacement

You can try to flash with the newest firmware. Not sure though...depends how bad the scratch is

Tasteful. I suppose you'll put truck-nuts on it too.

I think you're confusing the word tasteful with redneck.

Tattoos made easy and without the pain!
Haha before today i never heard of trucknuts, quite tastfull indeed, patenting airplane nuts as we speak..
The printer uses a direct solvent ink, it actually gets inside the plastic material while the glossy finish is maintained. Looks better then the tampon print Samsung does in the factory!
Believe it or not, it looks quite classy ;-) Mybe i'll print an XDA logo on it too
Lol, very nice. Do you have a wallpaper for the logo to share here?

the proximity sensor and light sensor are frosted?
just wondering!
Doubt it cuz the frosting would inhibit the function of the sensors. This is probably a dummy display model photographed by the graphic designers for the image.

[Q] broken screen

I had my screen glass broken down upto about 60% of the screen glass the screen itself is ok . But the touch works in the nonbroken area.
What should I replace?
A screen glass with a digitizer or without?
Complete assembly. You will lose responsiveness if you replace digitizer only as I did on my galaxy s3. OEM assembly is $128 shipped on ebaym

The screen and digitizer on this device are basically superglued together and therefore you can't replace one without the other

that is correct. "Fused" would be the proper description for it Lol.
Thanks guys for the contribution
It seems like the assembly is the solution but for the sack of the lack of money I wanna know what's the broken part is it the screen glass only or the screen glass and the digitizer
Thanks again

Who gets warranties on smart phones these days? I paid the $8/mo to Sprint for their warranty plan for two years for basically nothing. Unless you're a clutz (which we all can be at times, sh*t does happen), most people I would like to think that hang around XDA take care of their phones like they are newborn babies (that is, we'll hold them ever so gently but will throw them in a fighter jet traveling 1000000mph).
In any event OP, I would guess the problem is with your digitizer, since that is what makes the magic happen and produce our images. You could try taking your phone apart to see if by some miracle the ribbon was knocked loose. Otherwise, might need a new digitizer.

Noticeable bulks on back cover

I wonder what are those 8 circles bulking on the back cover. I jsut notice this today..can someone help me and explain if this is okay?
Any image? Mine don't have any circle

The components underneath the cover aren't flat. So if you rub your hands while applying pressure over the back cover you can feel some bumps underneath. It's normal.
I have the same issue that I posted here with photos...
