Hi,
Do anyone have experience with a broken screen on a Samsung Galaxy s3?
I dropped my phone and it cracked, now the LCD is black and doesnt show anything.
I can still hear email notifications etc.
Is this just a LCD problem or is it MB problem.
sucks to buy a repair kit to 250 dollar if it doesnt work
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Most probably the screen is too defective to show anything.
From this symptom however it's not possible to determine anything - but a totally broken screen is more probable than the motherboard.
Btw it is not an Lcd

I would say instead of buying repair kit for $$250 just try try to sell your S3 to get a new one .You can easily sell it on swppa or ebay .According to this price report http://www.movaluate.com/samsung/galaxy-s-iii-verizon-blue you can still get $200.00 for your s3 even in NON FUNCTIONAL condition .
here is a video i made of the process of replacing the cracked screen. it will help a lot. 3

Help plz
I didn't break my screen but the contrast material is leaking out... i don't think replacing the screen will help me with that problem will it?

yes, it will
Unlike most other phones, the S3 screen is bonded to the gorilla glass - crack the glass and you crack the screen, which is why a cracked glass costs $200+ to replace - you are buying a new amoled screen as well. Buy the new screen (or get a service centre to do it) and invest in a book-cover styled case. (has a cradle for the phone and a stiff cover for the screen side)
@duoblade - the 'contrast' material? Do you mean the screen is fading or are you getting some kind of ooze coming out of the phone? Bit puzzled...
Some problem
I have the some problem but what I want to know is, can can I control it through my pc/Lenox, so I can use it was a mini pc
You'll need mhl to connect to hdmi tv

Hi All,
apologies if i have posted this in the wrong section, if so, please move.
I have been searching without any success of finding a Samsung S3 CLONE that would use a LCD Screen the Original Samsung S3 would recognise. I have not found images in the internals of these clones aswell
I wonder if anyone here or outside this forum has been successfull in finding a Clone S3 that uses the same LCD configuration compatible with the real S3.
I have seen many replacement LCD screens which claim to be compatible but are not AMOLED or have the exact resolution as the S3, so are these "replacement" screen LCDs really used in the Clone.
any one here able to shed some light on this possibility? :fingers-crossed:
Impossible as they are different technology
LCD and AMOLED
Even through you found right size,, right connected LCD screen and attached it into S3, still won't work due to driver problem or something like that

but im wondering what abt these replacement LCDs that are lower in resolution etc and seems to work with the S3. where are these screens from and are these screens used in the clones?
as for drivers, im sure people in this forum can mod something to make it work?

Serious?
Those clones, just another model of phone which "accidentally" has very same outer appears as Galaxy S III, doesn't mean they are compatible.

no way, don't even think about trying it
yes you can
I've installed three different types, all low resolution and one was two small you would see a small black strip at the top because lcd was two short. But they all worked , if you own a repair shop I think its important to figure out who's making these lcd because when a new model comes out and the assembly is 250$ and Samsung designed the s4 to break at the lcd not the glass , so lots of ppl need lcd. So the price states high for a wile , meanwhile the iphone screens break at the glass so there's millions of good lcds floating around the price drops fast , the iphone 5s is already down to 80$ from its original 250 just two months ago . So the iphone parts drop in price fast but for galaxy parts we need to find who makes these clone lcds so our galaxy customers have a alternative repair option under 300$
We do the 5s for 150$ , the part is 80$
The s4 part is 209 so we have to charge 269 installed.
Insurance deductible is 150....

replacement LCD for CLONE samsung GT-i9060?
Hello
A few days ago i dropped my Galaxy S3 while pulling it out of my pocket and the LCD is cracked. I dropped my S3 a few times but this time it fell on the edge and it landed like a "brick". The whole phone functions properly except the Screen won't turn on. The Touchscreen and home button works fine but the Menu & Back button don't work. I took it to the repair shop and they said that it costs ~ £180 to repair it.
Are there any suggestions on what i should do? Any cheap good screen replacement on eBay?
And is there an app that allows me to control my S3 from my PC via USB preferably but WiFi will do also.
Thanks for reading

The issue is, the front housing, glass, digitiser and screen come as a "sealed unit". So yes it is expensive. You can pick them up a bit cheaper on eBay but then it needs fitting.
If you're searching eBay, we have AMOLED screen, not LCD

The problem is with these apps, they need setting up first and you need to be able to see to do it. k If you have a HDMI input somewhere, you can use an MHL cable to see it on a tv, but thats all I can think of really.
Problem with screen replace is not many do a proper job see multiple posts on XDA .

S3 screen
First thing is to go to service centre and ask to see service manager, usually its at the discretion of the manager to give a discount. I was lucky, went to get my Note 1 complete LCD & digitizer (broken) replaced for US$120 2 month ago. Yesterday I cracked my S3 screen n i went back to sc again got it replaced in 1 hr for $106 and i also change the headphone jack port ($11). Now i ve 2 brand new looking phone as they replace the fuull screen with frame. Thanks Samsung. So it pays to visit the sc 1st and speak with them rather than post yr problem. Cheers.

In the UK the Sammie service centres have to send the 'faulty' AMOLED/LCD screen back to Samsung, if it's cracked (as is likely in your case) the service centre do not get reimbursed for parts cost in the repair and as the complete house costs over £140 (and have to be bought in lots of 10 units) you can see there's no money in it for them to discount.
As rootsu stated above it's all one housing, replacing glass can be done but not the actual screen element.
I would suggest try to find someone with a working screen setup perhaps on ripbay or gumtree and drop in your motherboard to their working screen, anything under £150 and you're saving some money. Else try to sell yours but beware of buyers who'll try to make a claim on ebay after they received stating 'not as described' to get you to give a part refund for the sale (i.e. you auction it for £120 they then try to get £60 or £70 back) it's a common scam for phones.
Good Luck
I was able to get the whole screen and front bezel etc for £125 from Amazon and did it myself fairly easily with no previous experience. Just follow the YouTube guides slowly and carefully and it'll be fine. The UK seller of the screen got it to me within a day or two so I didn't have to use my old Desire HD for very long.

Before i cracked my screen (accidentally) i installed a program called Wondershare MobileGo for Android which allows me to see real-time screenshots of my phone but not control it. So with a bit of struggle maybe i can set up an App :|

I was actually thinking of replacing it myself but i don't know if Amazon delivers to my country.
i would like to know if someone knows if one lcd+digitizer+frame would solve the next problem
my father drop down his s3 and first the cellphone has one line in the middle of the screen
but it was working(one part of the screen looked normal and the other half was darker)
after few days the cellphone didn't show anything on the lcd but it can be powered on and vibrates
in mexico the replacements are overpriced for this cellphone like $210 bucks for the lcd,so i was thinking to buy the lcd
and replace it by myself.
but i wanted to be sure if only buying theses part the cellphone would be working fine again.
thanx and i hope someone could help me.

I was thinking about buying the LCD and digitizer assembly with The frame because i have seen that they are glued. But concern is about The line that appeared on the s3 ,i don t want To buy the part and continue with one half screen dead.
Thanx anyway for the response,i will wait more for another one
If you want to replace LCD your self see YouTube videos. There's lot of videos for "How To". In some videos they used glue.

thanx for your answer but
my main question is, replacing the lcd with digitizer and frame will resolve my problem?(the lcd is the only thing damaged) or could be something else that made the half look darker on the screen?

Probable but not 100% certain that lcd is only part damaged .
better to replace LCD with digitalizer.. I think the combination is like that
Good evening!
My S3 has just fallen down. Now only physical buttons, back and menu are working. Screen has no physical damage but the digitalizer is not getting ANY of my touch. This makes me thing that it can be the internal connections. If it was broken I believe some screen zones would be still recognised. Then, I believe (and hope) digitalizer is in a well state. What are your thoughts about this?
Apart from this, how can I open the phone to check the connection. I've seen videos in which they replace the screen but I don't know if I can follow this procedure since, if it is still working, I don't know if I could re-glue it again.
Please, what can I do?
Thanks!

It is very possibly your digitizer can be broken but not show any physical damage. If it happened right after a fall then this is a real possibility.
Do not try to pull the screen sections apart you will damage it. Get a new whole screen assembly
Thank you very much for the answer!. Could you please send me a reference of the whole screen assembly I need? You mean digitalizer plus lcd? just digitalizer? Could you provide me a good but cheap one?.

You will need the glass, lcd and digitizer. The term "whole screen assembly" should be enough.
Thanks for the info. I've seen prices of this replacement set and it's about 100$ (80€). I don't think I should pay so much for a 2-year phone. I am thinking about taking a Xiaomi redmi note 4g for 169€.

Yer it is pricey, atleast in my country almost just as expensive to by a new s3 rather than get a new screen when you way up the aspects of a new phone plus the warranty
Hello dear XDA Devs,
Is there a fix for screen ghosting (random touch input) for a ZU? Mine often goes crazy if i have warm hands and come near to my device whith them. Same happens if i breath a little bit on the display.
Water marks are white and the device has Root + Locked bootloader

Firstly try to clean the screen without any stain or greases...
Try to tweak the sensitivity by changing the figure in /system/usr/idc/max1187x_touchscreen_0.idc (touch.filter.level = 5)...
Try to play around to get the best for ur device...
BTW white water marks due to water damage device??

This device has no water damage, that's what i wanted to say . Because of touch.filter.level: Sorry that i didn't sayed that i already tryed this whith best results @ 7, which is too high for a pen input, but the device doesn't go crazy that often.
Yesterday i've seen that you can fix this on Nexus 4 by reisolating a cable. If this is the case on ZU i'm gonna send it in for Warranty.

Better just send back to Sony...
I'm facing similar problems with my ZU =/
After I've tried to replace a protective skin for my display, the phone started to present ghost touching. I mean, a LOT of ghost touching. As my warranty expired a few months ago, I sent the phone to a private maintenance and now they want to replace the whole screen.
Do you think I'll have to replace the screen or maybe there's a way out of this? Here in Brazil, replacing the screen can be as expansive as buying a new phone (and I must confess that I'm tempted to forget about my Z Ultra and buy a Z2), so if I could fix this in some another way... well, that would be terrific.
Thanks in advance!

maybe this will help. Its the Fix i found for the Nexus 7
I started to have a lot of that Phantom touches after taking off my aftermarket screen protector. **** was so annoying. I still have the anti shatter film but don't want to mess with that crap so I installed another screen protector and everything is normal again.
It has been 1 month since installing the new screen protector and no ghost touches.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Free mobile app
Well... I must confess that the idea of installing a new screen protector never occurred to me
I guess this could worth the shot, actually. Anyway, I've ordered a new display (got a really good price... way way cheaper than the official maintenance was charging), so if the new screen protector won't work out, I'll proceed to replace the whole display.
