[Q] Galaxy s3 Screen replacement - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello !
I have again cracked my display on s3, but whitout shattering glass this time -_-.
Last time i bought replacement display for 110$ (with postage) from hong kong, but the screen was somehow smaller, there were bigger spaces between frame and display. Also colors were more white-ish. One word - not genuine.
Is it possible to buy a genuine replacement this time ? Any suggestions (ideally ebay link) ?
Thanks

A genuine display assembly will cost more than a second hand phone, buy one with a dead emmc and swap the display over.

[Q] Where to buy replacement SAMOLED/Digitizer For i9100

Managed to break the SAMOLED display on my SII, font glass seems fine (good ole gorillia glass!) but I think the digitizer might be damaged too since there are a few dead touch spots (from what I can tell) on part of the screen. There is only a small corner of the actual display working so it's pretty shot
So my question to you guys is where can I get quality yet decent priced parts for the SII? It's an i9100 (originally from Orange UK but being used in New Zealand) I had a look on ebay but all the sellers are selling stuff in the $200+ NZD price bracket (160 USD) I was hoping to get something for under $150 NZD.
Due to the doubt factor of damage to digitizer I'll get a LCD/Digitizer combo, i'm just not sure what's best and where is good to buy from. I bought the phone 2nd hand and i'm happy to take (working) 2nd hand parts to fix it.
So where to buy from and what's a good price?
Thanks guys!

[Q] Cracked screen self repair

I have cracked my SGS2 screen during a trip last week. While everything works, it looks kind of ugly, and I fear that if I attempt to replace my crumpled screen protector pieces of glass will fall over.
The rates for screen replacement run for roughly 100-150$, about 1/4 of the price of the phone, while buying off of ebay seem to reduce costs to roughly 10$.
I have 2 questions, which I'd rather not check by myself and ruin the phone:
How hard/dangerous is it to replace the screen by myself? Am I likely to ruin it further?
Second, do I need a screen replacement such as these found on E-bay (I cannot post a link to an example), or do I need a brand new LCD touch screen?
Thanks in advance!
i hope you can find here the answers:

[Q] Broken glass - what to buy?

Hello,
Today my RAZR fell down from a quite high distance and the screen (just glass) is cracked... The phone, however, responds to every touch and all the images are displayed correctly. I've got some questions: What is necessary to buy to repair that glass? Do I have to buy the lens with LCD, with digitizer or flex cable...? I don't know anything about this... Are these cheaply-priced products on ebay fake or original?? e.g. ebay.com/itm/Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Glass-Lens-For-Motorola-Spyder-Droid-RAZR-XT910-XT912-/171035206060?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item27d27e21ac
Here is the present image of my phone: img191.imageshack.us/img191/1416/dsc01263ho.jpg
Thank you in advance!

Need a new screen, buying from ebay?

Hey guys I've recently cracked my screen and the touch doesn't work any more so I need anew screen! Unfortunately I didn't purchase insurance when I bought the phone. I asked my operator how much they charge for a replacement and they quoted me £240 which I can't afford right now, I noticed there's a lot of cheaper options on ebay but I feel they probably wont be the orignal screen even though many state they are, one thing I've noticed is most don't state they are ips, is this why they are so much cheaper, if I order off of ebay will I be getting an inferior screen?
Bump, anyone?

look here
Never buy only the glas. You won't have the tools to seperate the glas from the LCD. (This works on Samsung devices with a hairdryer and a sucker, but not on sonys sh*tty sh*tty displays )
I dropped my Z2 2 weeks after i bought it, from about 30cm and had a little crack on the lower half of the display and touch wasn't working anymore.
Repair costed me 200 €
I also have a Samsung Galaxy S3. There is missing an around 5 cm big peace of the glas and the touch is still working... even at the position, where the LCD is directly touched, its wokring! -.- poor Sony.

Thanks for the info, I wont try be trying to remove the glass myself I have a repair shop near me that can do that, I'm more worried about getting the proper screen as I was quoted £240 to get a repair by my carrier, but I've seen screens for a lot less on ebay but was wondering if the screens were just inferior knock offs or whether my carrier was simply charging so much just to keep me inside my warranty

Glass, digitizer and LCD. Where to buy?

Phone was dropped today. The touchscreen no longer works and the screen is cracked. There is also what looks like a black liquid from the LCD. I therefore believe I must replace the LCD, digitiser and glass screen. I was just wondering where the best place to buy them from as I feel like I should avoid AliExpress and others alike. Although I dont want to spend to much.
Do all 3 come in one unit? For example if I get an OEM Screen Replacement for the S9, it will include LCD, digitiser and glass screen?
Thanks, all help is appreciated
I just checked over at Samsung. For the S9+ screen and digitizer $229. I did a guick search and found some for a low as $169.. Best to go OEM if you ask me, especially if you plan on keeping it for a while, and want it to work correctly.
Aftermarket frame and screen setups are rarely OEM quality. despite most of the claims. I would only buy samsung direct
