Hi all,
Anyone replaced a screen on a xs yet (nephew broke mine)?
I can get a screen of eBay for about 160 but not sure if it's beyond the ability of my sausage fingers, is it hard to do? Any idea on what a repair shop would charge? I'm in aus
Or I wonder if I should just put that cash toward a gx or that water proof one..
Cheers
Ben
trust me in terms of quality the ebay ones are rubbish. The colours arent as vibrant and you can see lines when looking from side. I had experienced this with my arc before. Colours looked so dull, I regreted changing my cracked screen.

Thanks for the reply,
Never crossed my mind that the wernt the real thing, I might just put up with it till I want a new phone as its only 2 lines of crack...
plus if you do replace lcd then youll also need to buy new adhesive to stick it into place and that can get really messy.
Its now that my country is receiving the Z2. After readingall the issue that the mobile is getting, i wanted to know if someone has try this BATCH? Is it Good?? can i Buy it?
Truth is, if you want the phone, Just buy it. I have W17 and it works good for me. Buy it if you like it. Leave it if you don't. Cheers.

@zakiyy
All the BATCH's mostly have issue, Although these issue's not important but you can check your phone to have perfect one.
The list of detail's that you must check is:
1. Top right and bottom left GAP
2. 4Corner of phone to check GAP
3. Front and back camera for center lens
4. and at last check LCD for dead pixel and yellowish issue
I never buy first few batches that comes to my country.
I have waited for a few weeks and I bought w20 - no issues at all...
If that lt55 will be good (probably Z3) I'll do the same thing.
I really think w25 should be nothing but good...

I have a 14W25 and everything is ok so far, including 120 FPS video capture (didn't try 4k)
The lens seems slightly off center but nothing to worry about.

How do you test for excessive heating ?
I really in all my years writing on tech forums never come across such utter nonsense as this batch crap. This paranoia was the cause of a well meaning youngster who thought he could perform some sort of cyber quality control without any of the relevant information. I thought this had all been seen as misinformation?
Every thing we purchase from the shoes on our feet will have lemons! The Z2 is a decent flag ship phone and deserves praise. The Z2 has no more bad nor good press than any other such device.
This stuff about "gaps" is also a complete nonsense. The mobile is water and dust resistant so it is very well assembled and monitored.
EVERY phone ever made that has a forum page dedicated to it will be full of these horror stories. That is why people join these forums in the first place. it will be a tiny minority that are happy with the mobile that are going to seek out a forum and write a positive review .
Go read the forum threads on any of the flag ship phones are they are all the same. When we do eventually buy a lemon it is a pain in the rear BUT those lemons are the exception to the rule for all the flag ship phones presently on the market.
Buy the Z2 or not but for goodness sake don't base your decision because you read something negative here about it.

I have a W17 as well. All is good with it. Regardless of the week it was assembled just do a once over the phone such as checking for gaps etc..
I wouldn't put too much concern over batches, weeks, etc. Every batch is going to have the odd unit with minor flaws, such as a gap, or a dead pixel in the screen, or something of that nature. If you happen to get one, simply walk it back to your local Sony store and get it swapped for a non-defective model.
Hello people!
I just dropped my phone display first into the floor.
The only visible damage is a tiny arced crack at the right edge of the screen, but that was enough to screw up the whole touch screen because the phone seems to activate touch around the crack, which leads me to my first question:
1 - Is there a way to disable part of the touch screen?
I can live without touch in the area of the damage, just not without any working touch
2 - Is there a way to hardware test using a PC to evaluate the extent of the damage?
3 - Do I buy just the screen, the screen + LCD or screen + LCD + frame?
4 - How do I know which OEM of Ebay to buy? Can I trust the ones saying it's an original Sony Screen + LCD?
Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. I do believe there are more people out there with same or very similar questions.
HI,
I had craked my z2 screen twise
in my experience u need to replace the whole LCD screen .
i had craked my Z before, but for Z , the crak didnt affect other parts , you can use the phone , but for z2 no hope.

in this case no, Z2 LCD display is seperateed from the glass
you can weirdly find glass and screen put as one but thats some sort of odd scam :/

Thank you so much for giving me the answer I wanted to hear. Unfortunately I can't find any videos on how to do this for the Z2. Have you done it? I'm curious to know whether the display is allover glued to the digitizer as in the case of the Z1 or if it's just glued around the corners of the screen as in the M2. Mind you that this is simply observations I've made from watching youtube videos, so the above mentioned information might not be correct.
man, u cannot separate the display and digitizer . its a single glass. for Z2. u need to replace the single glass
You could try finding parts from aliexpress, try looking through the feedbacks before ordering.
Or if you are not too bothered by the cracks you could just put on a screen protector or a tempered glass screen protector.
Try going into youtube and search witrigs for teardown and repair videos.
Wish you good luck! ?

Hi guys,
My Screen cracked, i order a new screen. I install it right with instructions. LCD screen works about 1 minutes, but now the phone has so called ghost touches.
What might be a problem? LDC-screen is broken?

Yeah!
I did take a chance and purchased a new glass without display. Good news is I never got an opportunity to use it, so I might be able to return it. Bad new is I'm now buying a front glass and lcd.
Even though it might technically be possible to just exchanging the front screen, I would say it's highly improbable that you will successfully do so.
Judged by my level of technical tinkering, I would say that a vast majority of the people in this forum will probably fail in exchanging front glass without exchanging lcd.
I'm not saying this to put anyone down, but I'm giving you the advice I wish I would've gotten before getting over-confident.
So for goodness sake,
BUY FRONT GLASS+DIGITIZER+LCD, and save yourself both time, headache, and possibly money
Hi, i'm waiting for my Z2 replacement screen and i have a question for those who have changed it, does the sensitivity of the touch screen is the same like the original? I mean the option that you can use the phone with gloves...
Thanks!
How much did it cost u, repairing the screen
For those of you who've replaced your screens either DIY or via LG warranty replacement...please post how your screen quality and viewing angles compare to the original LCD.
I'll start...
1. On my Current G2, I had a perfect screen. Perfect viewing angles and excellent image quality with no defects
2. Ebay Replacement screen #1 had dead pixels and Mira lines.
3. Ebay replacement screen # 2 had horrible color. Almost black and white
4. Amazon replacement screen has great color & image quality but lesser degree of viewing angles.
It's hard to explain but easy to compare to other G2s and phones when you compare side by side.
After all these screen swaps in the last couple months I've decided to keep this screen and use the phone as is.
How does your replacement screen compare to the original one?
I got LG performed a "total refurbished" when I dropped and shattered my screen.
It came back and looked like new, no difference to the original.
After a shattered screen i got it replaced.two months waoting time.now have jdi panel but brightness is very low and have lots of screen bleed around the edges.the repairman did not do a good job but the panel itself is of lower quality.color and contrast ok but luminosity is about 70%of the original...not happy but no money for yet another panel...
Conclusion:dont drop the phone...
After having touch screen issues on my phone (no-touch zone, ghost touches), I bought a replacement screen for my D800 off eBay.
Got it replaced and so far, the quality (colours, brightness, touch accuracy) is very good. I'd say the screen is slightly more yellow than my original screen but it's by no means an issue.
The screen I got for my "new" Z3, is full of problems. It has press marks(areas on the screen which appear brighter/whiter) and the screen "flickers" on high brightness. My friend can't see it well, but I can very clearly see the screen going bright->dark->bright->dark slightly and very quickly.
Dropped mine and got it replaced at a cheap place in Bangkok.
Colours are the same, viewing angles are not as good, but
those doesn't matter to me.
Been 2 months dropped phone again, screen shattert again...
Biggest supprise: Touch is still working perfectly! Seems like the cheap replacement screen doesn't have the NoGap technology like the original ones haha. Seems like win win to me!

Thanks for the responses guys and sorry to hear about your screens.
Made a new poll. Please participate.
I'm trying to make a case that there are different versions of LCD panels made by different manufacturers.
They don't advertise which is which but we're starting to notice now that we're having out screens replaced.
I replaced my LG D800 screen with one from Amazon and the colors are slightly darker but other than that no big deal. I didn't do a good job with the replacement so there is definite light bleed on the edges and after four months of using it im getting ghost touches if I press on the lower portion of the screen. Don't think it's quite worth the $80 replacement to try again and get it right, just something I'll deal with until a new phone comes out and I can get it replaced all together.
Similar experience to laboratik except the repair was done at LG so the workmanship is good. But it is jdi panel and darker than the original.
Thank you guys for the responses. This thread should be helpful to others in our same situation.
The sad fact is that the market is flooded with aftermarket screens made by who knows.
Just compared my screen with the S6 Edge and have to say I'm very impressed with the image and color on this replacement screen however that's where the buck stops.
The reduced viewing angles are tolerable at best. I'd hate to remove this replacement screen send it back all over again...roll, dice pray I get a perfect match but unless I'm removing it from a G2 myself I'm starting to believe it's not likely it'll happen.
Check out this review on Amazon re: the screen I have.
This guy nails my current situation

I got a few of them from eBay, I can link you the buyer if you want, I've sold them and they are close to OEM, they only have one MAJOR flaw, they are thicker. While you'd think this wouldn't be an issue, they are thick enough to not be able to slip into most cases, so it's annoying.
http://www.ebay.com/usr/wholesaleblimited?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754
That's the ebay seller I use for replacement parts.
So far the screens have been OEM quality( G2, GPro, AHD) I've bought a few from there, and they all have great quality, except for the thickness, they all seem to be thicker, this is probably due to it not being real gorilla glass, and just a knock off lol.
it looks like my replacement screen for LG service center has slightly lower sunlight legibility than original,
I dont know which panel is this, but brightness is reduced

After removing the Amazon screen and reinstalling the original one, I notice the Amazon one has slightly higher ppi/contrast with a smoother looking picture....WTH
Now if I can have that with the original screen's viewing angles I'd be golden....
Oh well....time to pack it back and return it back...will report back shortly

Hye guys. Im sorry if im in the wrong thread. Right now im in need for lg g2 d802 lcd full assembly replacement but im in tight budget right now. I can afford max for 60 bucks.

That one almost certainly looks like it will be a low quality replacement you will be unhappy with.
My personal opinion, if you want a full frame screen replacement....at least get one with the LG logo.
Saw one on ebay for 59.00 last night. The seller claimed to test them before they ship.

Not sure which model you have but make sure you confirm with the seller before you bid
i have ordered my replacement screen with frame from etradesupply.com should be reaching me in 5 days time.. Will report back. Got it for $60.

My shipment status says expected delivery Wed, Apr 15. Hope there are no more delays. Will keep the thread posted on how the screen performs.
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.
