Hi all, this may seem like a silly thing to ask but here goes....
I've got an S3 I9300 with a smashed screen. I would like to salvage my data/pics etc before I bin it.
However I can't access it via my pc as it has a screen lock that I obviously can't see or remove.
I have a spare Galaxy Ace 2 that I'm using temporarily and my question is; will the Ace 2 lcd screen plug into my S3 board temporarily
so I can retrieve my stuff?! I know I should just try it but I'd rather ask first before I waste my time stripping both phones!
Thanks for reading!
No will not work.
Different connectors and drivers.

I thought you could, VZW support says no.
If no one knows for sure, would someone mind trying it? Thanks in advance.

I don't mean to sound like an ass but why don't you just try it yourself?
Anyway, I get my phone in the mail tomorrow so I will try it then. However, My Galaxy nexus and Galaxy S2 both required the battery installed to boot so I'd imagine that the S3 will be the same.
Hey guys I'm a noob, I've been thinking about it for a long time, since the note 2 uses a Wacom digitizer would it be possible to mod the Wacom digitizer to replace the normal digitizer on the gs3??
Should be fairly simple
haha, genius
I know you guys are mocking me, but seriously it does use a wacom digitizer, which is why the pen won't work on any phone except for the note 2, it should be possible to mod the digitizer and plug it in to the motherboard of the s3 im willing to try this on my s3 if someone can get me going in the right direction

I don't think anyone is going to waste time trying to figure this out when the screen sizes are completely different.....let's face it, if you want a note instead of an s3 wouldn't it just be wiser to buy one in first place? You're never going to get a working phone out of it for the exact reason I illustrated in first place

if someone does commercially sell a modded version of the s3 screen, it would atleast cost 320$ + , which is alot just for a small feature as per me, but maybe your opinion varies.

Hi guys,
I've ran into a little bit of a pickle with my SGS 3, I cracked the screen through my own clumsy stupidity, it needs to go in for a repair but I want to wipe all my personal data from the device before doing so, is it possible at all?

Which screen?
The looky, see stuff screen?
The touchy, do stuff screen?
You can work around both but not simultaneously.

The LCD display itself, the digitiser works, you just cant see what you're doing.
MHL adapter then... although if it has an LCD it's not an S3 so MHL can't be guaranteed

Hello, managed to open my samsung galaxy s2. I am now trying to remove the motherboard. That said some of the screws are very hard, can't remove them, not turning at all. Does anyone here know if there is some trick to remove them. Also what is the exact name of the screw driver I need to use so that I can go an buy it (at the moment I am using a generic one i have at home).
S2 ???? This is S3 forum
Try Ebay for screw kit

Sorry, thought was posting for the S2 forum. However really and truly this is not mobile specific. I do have a screw driver that fits but when I try to turn it jumps because some screws are attached to much. Is there a spray I can use to help release the grip?

Know what you mean...Tried to bite one, almost broke my tooth. A piece of advice from me - DO NOT try to bite them!

Don't use too much force. You may damage your phone.
Dear XDA members,
First of all, I want to apologize for my bad English...
I have an S3 with a broken screen. My phone gets on, make noises, but I have no picture.
My wife has an old S2, it is possible to connect my S3 motherboard to the display of the S2? The connectors look the same, but does it works?
I know that the resolutions of the S2 and S3 are different, but all I need to the is to make a backup. (USB port is also broken )
Thanks.

Pretty sure that would just fry the display of the s2, because it is different hardware than the s3.
Thanks for the reply...
The story continues to find a S3.

Sorry I can not help you the way I had in mind.
With your original problem I would of sent you an old s3 complete screen assembly I have to either use to copy data or use permanently.
I swapped it out because of a bad glass replacement done by a local shop but it still works and functions...most of the time. Sometimes the touch doesn't work for a few seconds but the Netherlands is to far away.
Sorry for raising hope

Thanks for your help and your offer.
I can borrow a S4 or Note3, is it possible to connect one of those to my S3??
Thanks guys.
I think this won't work pretty well. I know that it is the same type of display: Super AMOLED capacitive TOUCHSCREEN, 16M colors, but the site and resolution is different. And the next question is, if the connectors really fit in!
