Hi, i have i545 Verizon Galaxy S4 and amoled itself is broken the Digitizer, not just the glass. So screen is cracked. It needs a replecement.
Do you know if its compatible with i9505 models or is it have to be specific i545 model Digitizer to replace it?
And some people sells it without frame, my capacitive buttons are working, i tested them. just touchscreen is not working.
So what is this frame? Does it matters do i have to change it? just my touchscreen and amoled screen is not working

I have a Verizon s4 that I got with a broken screen and I bought a sprint s4 with a fried motherboard and perfect screen all I did was put my motherboard in the sprint one and works perfect took about 10 mins.
I googled the i9505 motherboard and all connections look the same as the sprint / Verizon motherboards so the screen from a i9505 should work but im not 100%

well as i heard sprint, metro pcs and verizon has the same frame so if i want to change whole screen it should not be issue between those. but i9500 and i9505 even at&t has different frame.
well i'll check out some places tomorrow. i hope i can find something.
i'll report it here for future, i hope no one would have these issues.
also its way easier with the frame less to worry about and around the same price

Sometime ago I dropped my SGS3 i9300 and got a bad crack spreading from corner to edges but everything was still working fine only the gorilla glass or digitizer was cracked leaving the Amoled Screen perfectly intact.
Anyway I sent it for repair and when I received it after almost two weeks ,I noticed a dull green-bluish tint on the screen when viewed from an angle, also earlier I could barely see anything in sunlight outdoors (Common for Amoleds) but now I can see clearly even when i keep the screen directly in the sunlight!:silly:
Is it possible that the service center people have changed the original Amoled with a cheap LCD ? It was samsung service center!:crying:
Is it possible for me to know by looking at baseband or build no of rom?
for details about rom and all see the image below
s11(dot)postimg(dot)org/pno7cn91v/Screenshot_2013_05_17_16_24_28.png
anyway
4.1.2
Baseband version
I9300DDELK1
Build no.
JZO54K.I9300XXELLC
If you need more details please tell me
It's entirely possible that you got a different LCD brand. It's not uncommon for Samsung to carry multiple manufacturers for parts. There's a way to tell which LCD you currently have but that won't do you any good now. Samsung won't stick in an inferior LCD to rip you off. If you don't like it just go back and get a replacement.

Well I'm not complaining for the brand but for is it really an Amoled or LCD? Also in dark I used to see black smudges (common in some amoleds) but now they have disappeard ! Does it make any sense
You can't get an LCD ..Samsung did this once on the Galaxy s1 but named it the Galaxy SL. (New device entirely). You bought the phone with Amoled on the box, they can't give you anything else.
It's probably just a new revision improving the sun light and ink spots..

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....

Thanks for this great info.
Anyway, Im sorry if i have to ask another question but it just related to this topic. i got a cloned version of Samsung GT-i9060 (MT6575chip). This was given to me by a friend but the problem is the LCD is broken... I dont know if the original LCD for samsung GT-i9060 will work on my cloned version. Hope you can shed some light into this as i have a hard time looking for the replacement LCD of the cloned version.
Thanks a lot...

replacement LCD for CLONE samsung GT-i9060?
Hiya!
For the next 13 days I have 2 Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4s because I recently broke the first one's screen and filed for an insurance replacement. My gripe with the replacement is that it came with the locked ME7 bootloader, whereas my other one is still happily on MDK.
I have all of the tools to completely disassemble a phone (including the uv gun and glue). Do you folks think it's feasible to take the chipset out of my old one and put it in the new one?
The only reason I didn't just replace the screen myself was because I've never done it and didn't want to mess up the digitizer, but i am unsure of whether or not you have to remove the screen to take out the components (you likely do if my experience with other phones means anything)
if they are the same color, why not just pull the back off the one with the broken screen (with the board and everything), and hoook up the front of the good screen to it?

Does that include the exterior casing? It was bent somewhat badly and I'm unsure as to whether or not it'd fit a screen without first reshaping it (part of the reason I didn't just replace the screen myself as well)
ah, yeah im not sure about that.
Do we know if the chipset is bound to the exterior casing in some way?

It shouldn't be. I've never taken a Samsung device apart but every htc phone I took apart was separate from the shell

took a look at a teardown and it seems like you can swap the motherboards with (relative) ease and without removing the screen. Neat, I may try it this week.
I work primarily with computers and I can't think of any reason this wouldn't work. I would equate it to swapping computer cases but carrying the components over, right?

Correct but sometimes as they make improvements to the device over time, components do change. I had an old evo 4g that had a few different hardware revisions and the ribbon cables were different on the digitizers. this device is still fairly new though so you may not have that issue

Here's hoping to compatible insides!
absolutely doable, I swapped my MDK mainboard from a white S4 over to a black one with an ME7 board, then sold the white one with the ME7 mainboard.

+1 to this. I have done it as well. Bought an ebay S4 with MDK and swapped the Mobo (as the exterior wasn't that great) into my black mist phone, put the ME7 board into the ebay phone and sold that one.

If you filed for an insurance replacement, your old phone likely now has a blocked ESN and won't be able to work on Verizons network now.
So if you do the swap, you'll have a working phone, that you can't use.
It worked, though I forgot to plug the headphone jack back in and the motor I think is sitting incorrectly because vibration feels weak and like it "skips"
Either way, I got what I wanted. I'll have to open it again to fix the motor and the jack but at least I got my MDK board in the new phone

Phone still works, they sent me another sim, should i activate and use that one at all?
So, okay. I've searched everywhere but found no reference of Samsung S3's touchscreen compatibility.
There are at least 3?? variants of our beloved S3, but does the touchscreen of a I9300 fit that of SHV-E210L?
I have the E210L with a disabled touch after rooting. Now, I want to change its touchscreen but don't want to buy something I'll regret later. I've done everything from restoring, factory resetting, and re-flashing the FW but still the touch is disabled.
So, XDA-folks. Does the S3 have touchscreen compatibility or does it fit to all Samsung S3 variants?
Bump? Anybody?
Easiest way would be check those selling replacement screen assemblies, if one screen fits several models then you may have your answer.
However, as flashing the wrong kernel seems to always destroy the touchscreen I would doubt they are compatible.
I also don't think you can change just the digitiser, it's glued to the oled and unlike the glass screen is very fragile.

Hey man, thanks for the reply.
I'm thinking about replacing the whole screen, not just the digitizer as I don't have any experience at all with separating the touch and LCD with the heat gun..
Unfortunately, we don't have an eBay-like service here in the Philippines (which do returns) so trying/fitting screens is quite out of my options. Also worth noting is the E210L's antenna attached at the back cover, I'm afraid that if I do buy an I9300's screen it would somehow get in the way.. It's detachable though, but yeah..well..you know. :silly:
Guess I have to resort with phone techs scattered throughout the area. I just hope they don't make matters worse with my phone. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks again!

Hi,
A friend of mine currently replaced her I9300 screen after she cracked it. But I noticed that the phone screen isn't Super Amoled anymore
I compared her S3 Display to mine and mine clearly have BETTER display quality!
Now, since I wrongly flashed N7100 Kernel onto mine and froze the Touch Module; I need a whole new screen assembly since I9300 LCD and Touch Digitizer seems to be HARD to dissociate
My question now is:
Will screen replacement makes mine lose the Super Amoled feature like my friend's one ?
Do I need a specific screen assembly ? If so, How do I identify this before buying it ?
Thank you in advance.
I think that your friend has got a lower quality replacement display. If you want to replace your screen, you should look not for the cheapest one or atleast do some research (check that display you will buy is original)

But HOW do I tell whether it's genuine (original if you want) or replicate (fake) ?
And FYI, she bought it for $100, isn't that enough to pay a genuine one ?
No, that isn't a genuine screen assembly. Buy it from a reputable retailer -if you can find one, not an ebay or amazon reseller.

Just passing by... can't you just reflash your phone with correct kernel?

Already discussed :good:
There's NO miracle for this issue other than replacing the Screen (LCD + Touch Digitizer).
I understood WHY it burned the Touch Module lol N7100 uses bigger screen than I9300, so it pushes more power to the screen, unfortunately I9300 hardwares cannot hold such power. Maybe that's WHY N7100 have 1,6Ghz CPU while I9300 have 1,4Ghz (even if it's about the same hardware); also the battery voltage: N7100 uses genuinely 2600mAh while I9300 uses 2100mAh.
Anyway, I sold the device (as it was) now moving to something new (maybe another S3).
