Hi everybody, I need some advice about replacing the screen of the i9100.
I have already done all the disassembly, and I have to put everything together. I have seen in a tutorial that it is suggested to replace the double sided tape along the edges of the screen, and especially in the part of the screen between the actual screen and the softkeys, in order to prevent the light from bleeding.
Anyone can confirm or clarify this?
Thx in advance
Ive not seen a guide that tells you to put it on the screen. I would only out it around the edge and across the top of the hardware keys near the screen not on the hardware keys themselves

No, I wans't about to tape the capacitive soft keys yet here there is a pic for further explanation. The red part is the old tape, and the green one iis the tape I wans't sure of. In the tutoria it suggests to replace only the green one to avoid light blleding into the screen, and it says one should use the tape under the new screen (which is the orange part).
Do I need to replace the red parts around the edges or the orange and the green would be enough?
Thx in advance :laugh:

Yep, that's the guide I was talking about. He just puts the screen on, but says that you should put the green adhesive to avoid light bleed, do you suggest doing so or not?

Hi all!
Today I observed a rainbow blur on my TG01 upper display, it's seems like a liquid ,but it's under the surface and I can't clean it. It's like the crystal liquid it's came out somewhere or somehow.
It's could be a fissure or it's something else?
If it is, how it's this possible, because I treathed this phone like a jewel?
What do you think ,what it is.....?
I uploaded two photos about this.
What should I do?
Sorry for my english.
Thank you for answears.
do you have a screen protector on the screen? if so remove it and see if it disapears

There is no Screen protector uplied by me, it's in same shape like out of the box, only that, this movement was 2 months ago (out of the box)
I had the same with my first TG, that because you put it in your pocket without big protection.
This big screen don't like a "hold pressure"

Thank's , I will give it a try, and keep you inform about the situation.
my touch its dead
So I started testing.
the problem its touch screen.
display its ok!
touch screen is on a plastic surface.
Initially there was very little distance between the two
because of adhesive tape on the plastic (touch screen)
after a while they are to close, and then see those refraction,
the rainbow.

Thank's It's very good information, this way we know that rainbowing effect it's caused by the construction of the phone and can happen with anybody, so in this cause Orange (in my case) must replace the phone in guarantee...
I will keep you guys in touch.
Unless I'm very much mistaken this rainbow effect is harmless, because you can't see it when the backlight is on, and it doesn't affect device operation. It doesn't look as good when the device is turned off, but that's about it.
Or am I mistaken?

the rainbow that u see on the screen is called a newton's ring, it happens from pressure applied on the screen, it only happens to resistive touchscreens and not capactive, and if u dont take care of it, it may start to spread, i recommend that you should have used to screen protecter beacuse it usually helps protect this from happening, good luck!
What kind of screen protector would you recommend? Surely any kind of transparent soft case will apply the same kind of pressure to the screen. Or do you mean some kind of hard case that prevents any contact with the screen?

Hi guys
In Poland We have this same problem.
This is a unstick touch layer.
The reason of problem is bad heat dissipation from procesor.
When We use very strong own TG01 the Snapdragon have about 60'C and this type touch display is very susceptible to heat.
This problem is general problem of users TG01.
The cost of new touch display is hmm about 45 Euro.
After about 5 months use the first "oil spots" appear on the display.
When We use with this problem after 1 month have problem with less sensitivity of the screen.
i just saw the same thing with my tg01 today...but it`s a lot bigger...about 3 quarters of the screen but in the center...what should i do?
ps: i keep it in my jacket pocket...and there is no presure on it...i don`t know what could o caused this...

How about Dust isn't there a risk of having dust stuck between the digitizer and lcd? isn't it the same risk as in aplying screen protection. I tried several time aplying screen protector but never succeed without having dust particle stuck in between even though it's allmost unnoticable.
What's your experiance in this ?

That's what I feared and that's why I put on the gloves and I was careful to clean the internal part of the screen before the assembly.
It may be a very small particle of dust, but I can't really see it.
Very nice tutorial. I guess i have to change my digitizer too sometime in the future because it has a defect (these newton rings) and i dont know how long it will work with this defect. I'm sure your videos will help me.

The device works ok. At the beginning I had to realign the screen. Few days ago I realized that the screen had the oil stain (the device was working perfectly), and I made it disappear with a tape.
what if the part I purchased doesn't come with the metal surrounding. Only the glass do you use glue to stick it on the chassi ? any tips on this issue before taking my phone apart ? or you recomend to send back the glass and get the whole front? Thank for the video it must have taken you some time to edit.

I heard that many people has broken the original digitizer trying to separate it from the housing.
That's why I bought both pieces.
But I also heard that is possible to separate them, being very careful. But it's a risk. And I heard too that you can use any kind of glue, including the one we used at school.
I hope that I have understood your question.
Thanks for you greatefulness!
very usefull tutorial
I have bought me a touch diamond 2, with a pretty damaged housing
now I dare to try to replace it, thanks to you're tutorial
First, thank you for your useful guide, but i missed something.
What about the light sensor cover (it's at the opposite side of the power LED). Is it included in the new housing? Because i didn't find it on the new housing that I bought (may be because it is not an OEM?)
Thanx in advance!

How did you realign the screen? I tried to use the calibration utility but I it goes into an endless loop. tried to re-assemble but got the same result
Any ideas what might be wrong?

Sorry, voxter.
I realign the screen using the app included in settings (Settings > System > Screen > Align Screen).
I read in other thread that you tried without success (just endless bucle). I had endless bucle too in another ROM. But after two or three times I made a soft reset and the screen begun to work perfectly.
Now I have a Tess ROM and only asked me to repeat it twice. After that, the screen works perfectly.
It's all that I know about it. Hope it helps
So I cracked the glass on my DNA So I decided to take the opportunity to show everyone the inside of the DNA
I still have all the parts, so if anyone wants specific shots let me know.
P.S. Do we think the yellow gasket and white goo = waterproofing?

No LEDs.. It appears to be a strip of Electroluminescent Paper or a bit LCD back-lighting without the LCD-ness. My bet is on the latter.
(Sorry, by this point everything is glued to hell... so I had to move to destructive disassembly)
Hope this helped!
Cheers,
so cool, thanks!
i was triyng to look for that "soft spot" on the back right which if pushed, caused the LED discoloration..there appears to be A LOT between the actual screen and the back plate, and it's symmetrical...yet the left side didn't have hte same soft spot the right did.
that's what caused my blue dot issue..but judging from these pics, there's alot between the back and the screen..so man, even lightly pushing that spot showed the discoloration..
I thought I was the only one with the blue dot issue, I sent mine back to Wal-Mart & they sent me a new one thank goodness. My bluish blush spot was about 1/2" above the home button & a little off to the left.

That is exactly where the magnet for the rear speaker is.
I tore a part my evo lte when replacing the screen. The DNA looks like it was designed by brilliant engineers. The evo, in comparison, looks like it was designed by a carpenter.

There are LEDs, they just are not on the LCD assembly, they are on the front side of the speaker board on bottom. I took my DNA apart and posted pictures of it all a while ago on droidforums, i posted link bellow, you can see the LEDs (there is two of them) on the front side picture of the speaker board which goes on bottom.

yes the first picture you linked is correct. Those two leds on bottom are the LEDs for the touch buttons. Trust me the light goes through lol, that bluish white film or whatever color it is, is tinted and light passes through it. Try holding a flash light behind it. They tint it so the light doesnt just shine right through and look ugly, this way it has a even spread and isnt blinding. Even though id rather have mine a little brighter.
I was able to adjust their brightness with this app..

Don't think they're maxed out with the default settings.

is it possible to separate the lcd from glass without damaging it? my glass is shattered,but lcd is fine.
mine is also broken and i am just about to order the digitizer only, is it possible to replace only the digitizer?
Looking at these made me glance at my phone and I noticed.. My camera isn't centered on the back!! WHAT?!?! LoL
How hard is it to just remove and re attach the rear housing? my rear notification LED doesn't work and I want to fix it.
So I just got a new Galaxy S3.
It hasn't been a day and i've noticed a kind of a shade that looks like the "super amoled" logo that's on the sticker that you peel off.
I really hadn't noticed it at first but now it's really annoying on white background.
I've found a picture on the web so that you guys can see my problem.
http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/3724/img2689su.jpg
Is there any way to get rid of this? I've tried running so called burn in fix apps but none of them worked.
I've also tried using wet wipes but it didn't remove it.. so It's not stains or anything and it appears like its burnt on the screen
Everything else is great about this phone but it's just this shade that looks like "c" that annoys me!
I have 6 months warranty but my dad bought it in Japan and he just returned from there and it's not like he's there every month so it's a bit of a problem.
If you have any solutions or if anyone here encountered the same thing please please share your experience.
Thanks in advance!

no alcohol is not dangerous (or any other liquid), as long as you do not let it seep through the sides of the phone.
I don't think that mark is inside, the plastic cover is outside and I don't imagine ever seeing a screen saver image of that type unless you have used one...
Hmmmm, its not only the c, you can see inside of the c the word amoled and on the top you can see the word galaxy s3

Ship or take to them .
Fact is standard warranty from a vendor is usually 12 months standard limited warranty from Samsung is 24 months .

According to their website there is also 6 months limited japan warranty.
I will contact them and I will also add pictures of the phone and all of the receipts..
And I see that when you ship the item to them you need to fill an RMA form so that no additional customs will be charged.
Hi guys,
I just received my one plus x today. The phone is amazing both in looks and performance.
However, i noticed that my capacitive touch buttons do not light up ever. It is hard to spot them even in full light. I just wanted to make sure I did not receive a defective piece. Is it supposed to be like this?
Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Your question has been answered two posts above yours already.
I don't really care because i use sofware navbar, but i don't see why they didn't make lights for the capacive buttons. Is it so hard and expensive to make? Because it could be nice
The idea is to conserve battery?
This is awesome. One less thing to disable. Backlight in buttons is really dumb. It´s just two or three buttons. How can someone not remember two to three buttons?
I've come up with a procedure to compensate for the lack of backlit capacitive keys:
Materials required:
Scotch tape
A glow-in-the-dark paint pen
Steps:
Place a piece of scotch tape over the bottom bezel.
Using the paint pen, draw the appropriate symbols on the scotch tape directly over the capacitive keys.
Wait for the paint to dry per the instructions on the paint pen. (Note: Baking the device to speed up the paint drying process is not recommended!)
Wallah!!! :good:

I've come up with a procedure to compensate for the lack of backlit capacitive keys:
Materials required:
Scotch tape
A glow-in-the-dark paint pen
Steps:
Place a piece of scotch tape over the bottom bezel.
Using the paint pen, draw the appropriate symbols on the scotch tape directly over the capacitive keys.
Wait for the paint to dry per the instructions on the paint pen. (Note: Baking the device to speed up the paint drying process is not recommended!)

Pretty sure he's kidding lol.
Do NOT try this at home.
And anyways why do you need buttons when you have doubletap2wake? Also after using smartphones for a while don't you guys know where the buttons are usually located?

But there is no danger in it, so you could try it at home or your office, wherever...
Looking at most of the photos of this phone, it was difficult to see that this phone had capacitive buttons. Not to mention some photos with the software navibar on. I know it's nice to have options, but with a phone this size, I'm almost rather they reduced the bottom a bit more in favor of a slightly longer screen and opted for just the software navibar.

Know he's kidding. Just curious
Small OT: I have a Nexus 5 (2013) and in 1 week I'll have this OnePlus X. My question is: which phone I'll keep?

You'll be more impressed with the OPX. The build quality and attention to detail will astonish you.

you dont even need to use doubletap2wake because this phone uses active notifications and motion sensors to switch the screen on whenever it is taken out of the pocket or picked up.
