When I first got a N910F, I immediately noticed the top right corner of the screen was lifting up, which seemed like the adhesive on that side was not sticking. The top left corner had a yellowish tint, and the camera was faulty, becuase when I'm taking a video, the video jumps when I pan to the right. So I returned it and got a N910C as a replacement. This particular unit, also had lifting, but it is on the bottom right. When I put pressure on it, it sticks right back in, but after a few minutes, it lifts up again. What makes it worse is there is light bleed on that corner when the back button lights up. Under direct sunlight, and when the screen is off, I can see "brushed effect" under the main screen (the whole viewing screen) at a certain angle.
I seem to be very lucky with samsung, that I get defective units no matter what I buy. Or is samsung lacking quality control?
================================
These are some of the problems I encountered with each device as far as I can remember:
1. S3 i9300 = I had to go through 5 units, reasons are the Sudden Death Syndrome, and the Ink blotch effect. Then after three moths, my lovely 3-year old daughter poured milk on it which damaged the screen, it is now prepped and tested and ready for a new screen, just waiting for replacement screens to go lower...
2. Note 2 N7100 = again Sudden Death Syndrome, and Ink blotch effect (I had to go through 3 units till I got a good one)
Note 2 N7105 = Ink blotch effect and LTE was erratic (first unit returned, and good second unit sold)
3. Note 3 (N9005) - pinkish tint on lower half of screen
Note 3 (N900T) - first and only unit I had, had a faulty ear piece. When the phone was on, even I wasn't doing anything, I can hear a 56k modem-like noise coming from it. Tmobile people confirmed this.
4. S4 (i9505) - first unit had very strong pink tint on lower 1/4 of screen, second unit had a small piece of dirt on the center of screen, third unit is awesome, but I sold it on swappa because I got a Tmobile (M919) version which I am still using today.
5. Galaxy Tab S 8.4 = the bezel next to the sd card slot came apart out of the box.
6. Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 = Buzzing sound coming from the screen (not speaker), I still have this unit now, look at my signature to see video.
7. Note 4 (N910F) = yellow tint of top left corner, faulty camera
Note 4 (N910C) = lifting bottom right corner, light bleed on same side, brushed effect under viewing screen, when the screen is off and under direct sunlight.

Could be either of them, neither of them or both.
In any case, I'd definitely return the second unit ASAP if I were you.
Or you buy from a store always who has B grade items or refurbished that it sells as new

Nope, I almost always never buy second hand. This is why I buy from amazon, or Fulfilled by amazon, or from best buy, I don't mind paying a few extra $, as long as there is no problem in returning a faulty item.
the only "issue" I've had on mine so far(not counting bad design decisions, like a protruding front-facing wake button for "convenient" pocket-dialing) is the incomplete application of the oleophobic coating.
there are 2 small spots with no coating, so there will be 2 small smudges if i hold my phone in direct sunlight without using a cleaning cloth first.
it's still better than having the entire screen covered in smudges though.
OK; I'm an idiot. I ran over my Note 3 for the 3rd time, only this time it had landed on it's face and the textured pavement put a small crack in the top corner of the screen. Barely visible; but it killed the display. I can still read / write via USB and it still rings, so the innards are OK.
My question is this: I've already disassembled it, and decided that for the cost difference; I'm going to replace the front display as well as the front housing.. I see a number of replacement parts, but it seems as though the lower priced ones say N900A "compatible", or don't have the Samsung logo at the top. I'm assuming that these aren't true OEM parts. Would that be your take on it, as well? They're generally 20-30 dollars less than the ones that have the logo.
What would you suggest?
Thanks!
So as many out there I broke the phone screen.
It only broke the outside glass, the screen itself still works fine, except for a little blue area/dot (screen as been broken for months so probably moister got it)
I'm not certain of what to buy (I do want a new screen with no blue dot) as prices and product names are very confusing
I'll probably buy this aliexpress
Is this the whole screen?
Does anyone recomends something else?
I replaced the whole screen including the frame. I'm happy with it. No touch issues and multitouch passed with 10 fingers. I bought this one.
A relative broke their screen (while in a case with large bumpers) and replacement screens are not available anywhere.
I've tried buying from china and from amazon and they both sent the same wrong screen that does not fit. (looks like one for the Moto G9)
The phone model is XT2027.
If you know where the right part can be obtained please let me know.
I don't know should I sell you a #1 unit (it's dead but screen should be intact)
All you need is to switch motherboard and battery
I dropped my Exynos Note 9 several weeks ago in a case that wasn't very protective. Thought I dodged a bullet, but several days later I noticed a partial black "not quite half circle" on the edge of the screen, approximately 3-4 mm.
Then last week, a horizontal black line appeared across my screen, Ema aging from the black ellipse. The line only appears at certain brightness settings and will go away if I make the screen brighter.
The screen also flickers strangely sometimes when Coming out of Screensaver mode.
The glass is not cracked.
1) I need to replace... the screen?
2) how much would this cost to replace it myself?
Thanks. If I missed anything please ask.
Well, the best is to buy a new screen with frame, I am in Europe and you can find these on ebay for around 220-240€. The biggest challenge is getting the battery cover off in one piece. I did replace the screen/frame and back cover on my previous Huawei mate 20 pro, the screen/frame came with a fresh battery glued in. My only challenge was that the "original" adhesive provided with the new back cover was useless. Plenty on ebay but only 1 or 2 where the real thing, the others where not holding the back cover on. I had basically a new phone externally and is still in daily use by my wife.
For my note 10 plus I have bought a new back cover and screen/frame. It has a heavy screen burn and a hairline crack in the glass. I will take the opportunity to transform it from a Aura black into a Aura white...Like Jerry is saying, its like little lego. Plenty of you tube video's on how to!
