So long story but my screen is cracked on my Streak, the Gorilla Glass is good, just LCD is broken. I was wondering if there was any way to get the text messages off of the phone in it's current condition. Any help is appreciated! BTW, my Streak is running 2.2 Froyo.

Good Day folks, here is the long and short of it.
Galaxy s 2 fell and the screen broke
I bought a new screen
Replaced the screen BUT two big problems occured.
1. The screen appears to have less colours than my original screen
2. NONE OF THE SOFT KEYS WORK, HOME, MENU AND BACK DO NOT WORK.
Number 2. is the big problem. Does anyone have any idea how these buttons work?
Even when I press the buttons directly with my fingers with the buttons off they still do not work.
Im baffled. Please help.
I also have attached pictures of the button area
It happened to me, I removed the screen, I replaced from beginning and it worked...
Hi Collado, do the white things behind the buttons have any electronic functionality or are those just things to make it stick?
To all future readers. I found out what the problem was. Basically,
The home, back and menu keys are all connected to a single ribbon. It appears there is a tiny piece, connected via the back key. That was torn while i was ripping off the the screen and digitizer.
See the picture attached
How much did you pay for your replacement screen and where did you get it. My digitizer is broken due to a drop. My front glass is perfect but the digitizer is completey shot. How difficult was this project?
Hi Johnboy
I cant remember the price of the digitizer offhand but make a check on ebay.. that is where i got it.
Difficulty is high as you need the minature tool set to do this effectively and a gentle touch.
However, it still appears as though the screen I bought has less colours.
Sorry to jump in and unintended hijack
I also dropped my S2 and cracked the screen, and after checking around dropped it in to the Geek Squad at CPW. Who duly replaced the screen and digitizer for £80. Only problem is the screen seems less bright and if moved off the central viewing angle the screen dims, as if it wasa standard lcd and not the orginal AMOLED screen. Does anyone know if they make lesser screens or was it fitted badly.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

I would go back with it and complain.If you dont get satisfaction then do an impression of the guy that goes into the pizza shop in "rise of the foot-soldier" film.

I have broken my Samsung Vibrant T-Mobile US. I dont have a warranty on this... I dropped it and the screen is cracked, it is still useable and you can still see the screen clearly, but there is a mess of cracks on it. How much would it be to buy a new one? I heard stuff about screens being super amolled or sumthin, and i was wonder what that stuff was. Any help?
Hello everyone,
this is my sad story and I would like you to help myself out of this pervading sadness....:crying:
I don't know how it happened, but the screen of my archos 101 g9 cracked: the touchscreen still works, the glass has no damage, but underneath the glass there is a wide crack from side to side, with a huge stain (lcd liquid?) coming out from the cracks.
what is to be replaced?
i found this one, is that what I need? http://www.ebay.it/itm/251174616903...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1598wt_1167
thank you very much

I think you need a new screen. But mostly possible you will not be able to replace it if you're not skilled at repairing small things.
Touch screen digitizer is not what you need if your touchscreen works normally.

thanks, I know someone who can halp me.
where I can buy it online? I looked for it, but each time I find something I can't say if I'm going to buy a screen, touchscreen, digitizer or somethingelse... I can't identify what is what I'm looking at
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask folks and if not I apologise in advance.
I am after a replacement LCD for my SGS 3. Unfortunately my new puppy bit my phone and cracked the front glass. So I bought a new glass and as I was trying to get the broken one off the puppy jumped up at me to play....knocking my arm and straight into the LCD. I have stripped the phone down completely and scraped the old screen off but I need a new / second hand one if anyone has one they will sell me or knows where to get one from.
I dont or to be honest cant afford to spend a lot of money as due to disability I am not working at the moment. I have some important files on my phone that I need to get off but im not sure if the motherboard has been damaged...when the phone is plugged into the PC all I see is a red light constantly
If anyone can help me I would be extremely gratefull
Hi
My friend broke his Z2 and asked me to try and fix the screen...
I already did this procedure a few times on other phones (Galaxy S3). I'm pretty confident I can do this easily, I have a few questions though.
I should just get him the full LCD/glass/digitizer assembly right? Although his LCD display seems to still function. The other stuff seems like a pain in the ass to install (although his LCD display seems to still work...)
He shattered the back panel too and doesn't care about that. But I'll have to replace the back glass anyway right? You have to remove it to change the front glass LCD etc right?
I never had a Z2 in my life so if you have any tips or info I probably don't know about this repair I'll take it
Thanks.
you have to dissasmble the entire phone, very difficult.
