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?

I dropped my phone today, and found some sort of cracked glass under my invisible shield.
As the pictures says, the crack is almost unnoticeable if you look at it straight... but if you look at it sideways, you can see the cracked glass.... the SAMOLED is not ruined i dont think, but the glass sure is...
Will the following product be a good replacement for this ? or will the tmobile replace it under warranty? do you guys think they will be able to spot that?

AMOLED displays won't get ruined by a piece of plastic touching it because the whole screen is an array of lights
Another good thing about AMOLED!
About the warranty... I think this depends on the person checking your phone for warranty status. If the employee is doing his job quick, he might not notice the crack. Though if he really checks everything, it will be detected.
The good thing here is that your screen still works... but how is the touch input? Is it distorted around the area of the crack?
I think you should try to repair it; buy the parts online, check out a tutorial, etc.

The touch interface is perfect... it doesn't have any distortion or anything around anywhere...

I couldn't find a lot of replacement parts online. I found some which are just LCD screen and not SAMOLOED according to some forums... this was the only one that says that it is SAMoLED, but there was no reviews or nothing about this website, so i don't know weather its genuinely SAMOLED or not. Any feedback will be appreciated...
I called tmobile and the rep said that there is nothing that they can do about it.
My local computer shop owner, who also repairs phones reckons he can do my htc hd2 screen...dropped it ages ago and got loads of cracks covering 3/4 of the screen....works perfect tho.
Not insured etc, so have to pay...but no way am I gonna pay HTC prices.
He said he has done loads of Iphone screens and has a special heating tool there to take the screen off etc.
couple of questions:
1: if he can succesfully replace iphone screens...will it be almost identical with the htc...or is it completely different and he doesn't know what he's letting himself in for, as he never done a htc hd2 screen b4?
2:got a new screen and digitizer off Ebay for £49.00 delivered and he gonna charge me £25.00 to fit it....if he does it and ****s it up...will he then be liable to fix it or get it fixed?
He's a good guy, knows his stuff...but just realllllyyyyy worried about my lil hd2...it's my pride and joy.

I just recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from eBay, the seller stated that the LCD screen was "very dark" and not quite working right. When I received the phone it was far more then "very dark", half of the screen looks as if the LCD is leaking out or has been broken? The digitizer is mint and works and the phone its self is in AMAZING shape. NO scratches or chips or anything. It honestly looks brand new. I even tested the battery for usage and its showing up that this battery IS indeed brand new. Like I said it is mint so there is no possible way this phone was dropped. My first guess was a ROM issue, but I just noticed you can see the screen defect without the phone even being turned on. So what I am thinking is water damage. I read all over online about people having problems with there screens going black, this might also be the case. If it is water damage, does anyone know EXACT locations of indicators on the phone? I looked in the battery compartment and found nothing what so ever. I want to sell this thing today, (just received it in the mail) I need the cash so I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction?? I uploaded photos below, the second one is with the phone turned off, the reflection is from my computer. For reference, it is the Samsung Galaxy SII 19100, with Bell Canada. Thanks in advanced!
I'm no expert but does not look like something you can fix yourself I'm afraid.
Send it back I say.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
send it back to whoever sold it
you kinda got scammed there, imho
See Im trying to figure out if the LCD was broken by physical damage or if this has happened before to people, because if its a manufacturing issue I can just send it back to Samsung and they will fix it no problem as long as this was caused on their part. If it WAS broken by the ebay seller, I might be better off buying a new lcd and installing it myself. I only paid $200CAD so it would be worth keeping if all thats wrong is the LCD. But like I said I would rather Samsung do it, lol its free.

Scratch that, the LCD is almost $200. Not worth buying and fixing. But does anyone know if this could be classified as a manufacturing issue? I can just send it in if it is?
anybody at all?? I just want to confirm that this could be a manufacturing issue, theres no water damage and the screen is not cracked from a drop any ideas would be awesome. I might just try to send it in to Samsung just to see what happens.
Hello everyone,
As you already know from the title i broke my screen yesterday and I was searching on XDA and found out that I can buy a screen by myself on ebay for 100$ and I can change it by myself, but i couldn't find anything about the quality of those screens are they good, are the color, brightness etc. gonna be the same ?
And if someone know if i can get it cheaper than 100$ ?
Also does the screen comes with the bezel because that one broke too ?
Also did any of you tried to make the i777 completely white ?

In my experience if the screen and digitizer both break its just about as cost effective to buy another used phone rather than replace the current one. If you do it wrong, you're screwed out of that money plus still don't have a phone. On the other hand , you have no guarantees of the condition of the used one you're buying either I suppose.
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.
