[Q] Yep, I broke my screen! First one? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there.
Brand new i9000.. first smartphone in my life.. and also the first one I broke in my life. Pretty ****ing annoying.
Everything still works, even typing, just the screen is smashed into a 1000 pieces. Dropped it out of my pocket on a concrete floor when I took my pants of. Lesson: Never take your pants off!
This is how it looks:
/edit: ****! I am not allowed to post photo's?
Found this (Dutch, but that's where I am from) webshop, selling a new screen:
/edit: ****, I am not allowed to post URL's!
It's called: "Samsung i9000 Galaxy S Display module compleet incl. touchscreen" Looks like this:
/edit: ****! I am not allowed to post photo's?
Is it the right screen? And if yes, can I install it myself? The thing is, just the outside is broken.. do I need this set? And where can I find a manual?
Thanks!

Any replica screens that do not come from samsung, will not be super AMOLED.. As this is one of the biggest things with the SGS I'd pay the extra and get it done at a reputed samsung repair centre!! Dunno where in holland you are but they have plenty of repair centres, had to visit one in Harleem myself the other day.... ANY Repairs carried out by you will void the warranty... Also is there no way you could just add accidental damage to your cover!!!... wait a couple of days then make a claim!!

I can't claim it anywhere.

So, I wanne put a Super AMOLED screen in myself. Anybody any idea where I can get a screen from? I can't post links here, pretty annoying.

Guy on Ebay sells them:
"yes, it is genuine LCD + touch screen with 4 inch Super AMOLED screen for samsung i9000"

Contact him ask him what the part number is!! call samsung and check it with them! It could be all good, most of the times is!... but there are alot of con-artists on ebay so for the matter of a phone call to check the authenticity.... I'd say it's worth it! also check with samsung if they sell the spares themselves or they will give you the name of an authorized stockist of their spares!! Worth checking out their prices!
Good luck!

Where can I get a replacement screen

where can i get a replacment screen i dropped mine and its now bust please help thx in advance
Ooops!
Hi, I did the same and the people at O2 replaced it for £70
Not too bad, and I got a new casing as well!
Adam
thanks will give them a try
No they don't!!! already checked with them and be sure to check out the other forums relating to this topic BEFORE you go further - check whether it is just the touchscreen or the whole screen that needs replacing saves you time and money as others have made this mistake!!! I think the £70 price is if you are a U.K O2 contrated owner, cause they told me it was double this price and I was just needing my touchscreen replaced as it was scratched up!!
Hi,
I have a new XDA which basically doesn't work because something in the circuitry is broken and it doesn't make any sound.However eveything else works(what I mean is the phone bit doesn't work,but the PDA side of it does).
What that means is that the screen and other physical external parts are in perfect working order.
So if you are looking for a screen or any other major part,I could be persuaded to part with it at a reasonable price.
DO let me know in this forum and we can arrange things from there.
screen
Hi,
My screen was broken also, did a huge search through the internet and came up with nothing. The only thing that could be replaced was the touch screen, not the lcd screen. I had to sent it back to o2. Cost: 284 Euro!!!!!
It's been 3 weeks now, and I'm still waiting for my phone :shock: .
Succes,
Stefan
The LCD screen and all the physical parts are perfectly ok on my XDA.So someone can make a tidy saving by taking the XDA off me in case their screen is broken.
Any takers please contact me at [email protected]
hm
and how much do you want to have for your broken xda?
I wouldn't like to drive this.Offer me a price and I will let you know if I do accept the price.
But no point asking me to part with it for €50 or something as ridiculous as that as I already have an offer for €75 and am waiting for something better.As I said all the parts are in perfect order and there are no scratches or anything like that.So you get a safety net of all replaceable parts.
I am open to offers on this one.
I was thinking about this and maybe half of what O2 charge to replace the screen is a fair price? On top of the screen,you will get the exterior casing,buttons,stylus the ROM,everything. So I think it is a fair price.Let me know if anyone's interested.
bbanduser
I would be interested in your xda
mail me on [email protected] if you like
Thanks
Martin
Hi Martin,
I have sent you a mail at the mail address you mentioned in your post.
My XDA is no longer available as it has been sold to Martin.
Thanks for the interest guys.

HTC Kaiser screen cracked

Hello,
I think HTC Kaiser's screen is too delicate. Mine got cracked yesterday very easily. I've had many PDA phones and it never happened to me.
Does anyone know where can I get a replacement screen?
Thanks,
Mario.
How did it crack, you pushed too hard when trying to use TouchFlo? it fell. Cause there has to be a reason that gives you the impression the screen is too delicate
ha ha, that sucks
Well, depending on how long you've had it, maybe it's covered under the 30 day warranty for return? I can't imagine how someone could break it, so it sounds like manufacturing defect to me??
Sound good to you??
Give it a try....
Let us know how it happened and if you get it fixed!
Good luck!
And to Doug2873... Don't make the guy feel worse than I'm sure he already does!!

Thank you all for your replies...I live in Mexico City and currently I'm in the US and there's no way of getting a replacement screen. HTC asked me to ship them the unit and they would charge between $170 and $350 USD for fixing it.
njbridges: I sent you a PM with my contact info.
I think we need a hard case for this device. Has anyone seen one?
Mine cracked because someone pushed me and I fell on it.
Thanks!

I think if SOMEONE fell on any PDA out there, the screen cracks is no wonmder. i think...
I read a Post where someone have cracked his PDA (i think mda3) because it feld off off the front window on his car and down to the gearbrick(?).. and it cracks the screen 2times.
I don´t have the feeling that the screen is more sensible as other screens...
Sorry for the engl. i´m from germany.

I too cracked my screen pretty traumatized about it, superiorgadgets is looking into it, but I will pm njbridges as well as a backup.
I'm unable to get the cracked screen out of the device, I have all the screwdrivers but I can't find a way of opening the Kaiser.
Any ideas?
Hope this helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337102
Mine just cracked today, for no reason. It has never been dropped or abused, it's in new condition, not a nick or scratch on it, I'm extremely careful. It was on the counter charging and I went to take it off the charger and saw the screen was cracked. I called ATT and they told me I'm SOL, it would be $498 to repair.
yeah if u are comfortable best bet do it yourself and save $300-$400
I found the part for about $100 from another member here. I'm tempted to just replace it and sell this phone. While I loved the 8525, I haven't been particularly happy with the 8925. Maybe it would be better with newer firmware, but I won't know now unless I replace the screen. I wonder what it's worth for parts......
Mine has never been dropped, but after reading how easy is to break it I'm really concerned...
I have dropped my old 8125 like 10 times and it's still working like the first day...
I just ordered the replacement screen from njbridges today. I'll post after I've received the parts and add my 2 cents. If anybody is going to break something in this replacement process, it will be me. I'm completely inept at using tools. I can barely even change the batteries in my kids' toys.

[Q]Lcd Broken HELP!!

Today I had the worst accident My phone fell and a door closed on it. I want to know if the screen and digitizer on our phone is the same as those on I9000 (galaxy s) because they seem to be cheaper in Greece where I live. Any suggestions of cheap international online shops is deeply appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
Please, if you already make a [Q] in the title, post it in the Q&A Thread, this is not related to development!
new screen costs around 180$ right? (rediculous price tbh) if i remember correctly.
maybe sending it to samsung is even better
I wanted to do this and roght now I was going to edit my post to tell everyone that there is no Thread for Q&A only for I9001 so I did it in here

Emmm... Screen or only glass and digitizer is broken? That's is very important. Becouse new glass and digitizer cost less than 60-70$ and it's easy accessible on ex. ebay.

Its impossible to replace the digitizer without damaging the amoled. They sell the item but its useless.
Amoled, digitizer and the Gorillaglas are guled together, forever!

If you know what are you doing, then you can replace this
Both are broken screen and digitizer because when touching the screen the light do not light and when I make a call to my phone I can not answer it. So I am going for a screen and digitizer has anyone tested anything or has anything to propose. I am looking for the cheapest and most sure to work combination. Thank you all for your replies
OK. Last question I am thinking to buy this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Whi...437?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d066c387d
I have the black SGS+ so I thought to also change the color! Will it be suitable for my phone or I will have trouble in assembly because of the other parts included?
I9000 and I9001 are the same in dimension, the only thing that is different is the camera and cpu. I thought it was explained before in this post. Take the phone to a service with the newly bought lcd/digitizer and they will fix it.
Oh, and don't complain about prices, if you want your phone to be fixed and work as new, pay some cash. Otherwise try fixing it yourself

Replacement parts for Galaxy S (screen, frame, chassis)

Hi
My Galaxy S home button got a bit wet and it won't work. I will try to separate the screen from the frame soon. However I would like to know where to order Galaxy S replacements.
I would like to order the frame and the screen separately and stick them in a way that they are easy to tear apart in case my home button breaks again. How could I achieve this?
I also saw lots of ebay sellers and amazon seller selling replacement screens, claiming they are original, compatible, with logo, and all that stuff.
So I wonder, are there different Galaxy S screens? How can you know which ones are original or not? Which ones are good or bad? etc
For example on AliExpress there are different ones like this
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...reen-assembly-Black-color-100/1185287851.html (Claims to be original)
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...-Assembly-Black-Free-shipping/1659713345.html (no idea if it's original or not)
Thanks!

I always use eBay to get my Galaxy S parts. I usually buy half broken phones and salvage parts from them. Or buy new parts from seller's in my own country with good ratings. I try and stay away from Chinese parts, they are cheaper but usually poorer quality in my opinion.

The main problem about the screen is that the AMOLED screen burns fast and loses color. So I would preffer a new original one, or a copy which is nearly as the original

The replacement screen worked perfectly, but after all I didn't get to need it since I didn't break the original screen while trying to fix the button.
Button is fixed and cell phone is working perfectly.

Galaxy Tab S2 screen replacement

Why is it so hard to find any parts for this device?
I have managed to pretty severely crack my screen on my Tab S2, and unfortunately( never again), I did not buy the protection plan from Best Buy.
There is a local place close to where I live that will do the work, but wants to charge $350+ to replace the screen. Needless to say, that's not going to happen.
I've been scouring the interwebs to try to find a screen/digitizer I can purchase and attempt to replace on my own, but I can't find a single site selling parts for the Tab s2.
Anyone have any ideas? I haven't owned the tablet long at all and I would love to be able to repair it.
Thanks.

a diffrent approach to take and i would reccomend is to buy the screen yourself online, then take it to a shop (maybe the one you mentioned) and asked them to install the glass on your device, this way you only pay them for the manual labor

That would be great, but the whole point is that I can't find anywhere that sells the screen.
If they want $350 to replace the screen, I would simply buy another Tab S2 on Craig's List. If you look a bit, you can find Tab S2 8.0's for less than $300 on Craig's List. I bought mine brand-new on Craig's List with the official Samsung book cover for $280.

Yes, its totally ridiculous that no one sells it. You can buy a LCD with Digitizer on Ebay for about $250 from China. I found another place that I think is in California but they want you to buy a minimum of 2 LCD's. What kind of crap policy is that??

I think the reason is that it requires a special "heating box", to even open the case on an S2. You have to heat the entire tablet to a certain temp to melt the glue to open the case. I have yet to be able to even determine what that temp is. This should be warning to every S2 owner to be double sure to get a protective screen for their tablets.
Hi. Another question. What can we say about screen compatibility between T710 & T713 or T810 & T813 (and their respective 4G versions) ? Are they switchable?

I've succeeded in opening an 810 using a simple household steam iron and an xacto knife. The problem is that a replacement screen cost as much as buying a used tablet. And the risk of breaking something in attempting to replace it yourself is fairly high.

And the answer is pretty much irrelevant anyway. Even though the screens are interchangeable, I doubt very seriously if you'll find either one at a price that's less than what you'd pay for a used tablet. I've been looking for months on eBay for a T8xx with a good screen but something else bad, that I could buy for less than $225 and haven't found one yet. The cheapest I found for a new one is $250. That is less than what a used T810 in decent condition would cost, but I'd have no guaranty it would fix the bad tablet. The bad one boots and I can hear audio messages when I turn it on, but what if there is something else wrong other than the screen itself causing it to be blank?

Hi; If you have the patience, you can just buy a digitizer, and replace that... it's about 1/4th the cost. I've noticed the digitizer for the Tab A 8.0" looks identical to the digitizer for the S2, I wonder if they are the same? I know the lcd in the S2 is not the same, but the digitizer, I suspect is... they're on ebay for about $15.95

The temp to release the glue is 60 Celcius/140 degrees F.

s2 uses a special 4x3 amoled screen. The digitizer and led display is integrated into one assembly. Good luck finding that, it probably comes directly from samsung fabs, so its not going to happen for a reasonable price... Shops that offer repair are most likely scavenging parts from used/damaged units they buy. Most common you find worn battery, broken usb port, or cracked screen. Seeing as how the display consists of 2/3 or more the bill of materials, it makes sense for them to charge so much. The labor and screen costs a ton. Keep in mind that the components on the mainboard are cheap, the soc is probably only 60$ or so... Batteries are like 10-15... Replacement usb port is pennies...
Generally when you break an amoled display or burn it in, you are SOL and have an expensive paperweight. It is like totaling the front end of a commuter car. Its not like an apple ipad screen that is mass produced and available directly from china for pennies.

hi there, do you have the link to the digitizer? I have sm-t719y with broken screen and lcd. I just want to extract some important data out of it. usb debugging is not turned on... tried this adapter but does not work with the Tab S2.

mhl has different versions. You should be able to find one that works. IIRC the white samsung chinese knock offs work, and are just a few $ us

I'm sorry to bump this but I have the same question as Beyaz66, but I believe the question was phrased a little confusingly. The actual question is if the different model screens are interchangeable with one another. For example, putting a T719 screen on a T713 model. I see the specs are basically the same and it seems only the appearance is different, but does anyone have any knowledge on this? Thanks!
