Just go to a Samsung Service Center and get it replaced.
It's the best option.
I have seen other Android Phones which had their screens replace the unofficial way and a partial part of their screen was no longer functional....

as a comparison, you can check it out at http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Fit-S5670-Digitizer-Touch-Screen-p/smsng6102880.htm

ok so i done it worked ok
would not recomend this for anyone and if you do its your fault
tools i used few screwdrivers tweezers scalpel cleaning cloth screen cleaner
small tray to work on , lil bag for screws
1. switched off phone , removed back cover , memory card , sim and battery
2. carefully removed the 6 screws and put in bag, the removed the backplate was a pain but managed without breaking it.
3 next there was a connection at top and on left hand side to disconnect , all so the headphone connector comes off , then you can take the motherboard off.
4. now it got tricky !very small part with a 9 on it pull the black tab up and leave it lose . i heated the front up a bit for next bit then gently got the digitizer lose it has some clips at bottum so start at the top .
5. cleaned a finger print off the lcd and replaced with new one , rebuild and was surprize it worked tbh
enjoy the pictures

If you look at the keypad it has a sticky surfaced that it's glued to the "circuit". The new keypad that you have it's covered in the back with a "3M" sticker too. You just have to remove the old and stick the new. (Very easy if you already are at that point).
Best regards

I just replaced the navi cap.
I used a thin stanley knife to take of the old, it is attached with tape.
i did not disassamble the phone.
The navicap i ordered did not come with a new tape so i used the old one,.. for as long as it holds..
I'm gonna have to find some new tape but i dont think its gonna be easy finding the same.
I'm pretty happy now as i have a good as new diamond for only 150 euros after replacing the battery cover and navicap

i think dats quite expensvie..150 euros just for battery cover and navicap..actly m having the same problem..can u temme the cost of navicap only??

Self dust-repair gone a bit wrong. Can you help me?

Hi xda, so I got tired of having dust under my screen and decided to try to fix this myself, I used many disassembly videos and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479734&highlight=dust as guides, initially I didnt open my phone completely, and used a hair dryer to heat and loose the glue, I guess that wasnt enough, then I finally separated the glass from the screen and procedeed the cleaning, everything good.
Then when I pushed the glass and realized there was a little space between the glass/lcd and the plastic frame (look at pic), tried to put the back cover in again and noticed the right side of the phone, the plastic one was kinda lifted and barely fitted my back cover again, reopened and realized this (look at pic) it seems that the main frame and plastic frame (pic again) got a bit separated, when I was trying to lift the glass i heard some cracks there, I tried pushing it gently but I dont want to damage the lcd, next thing im gonna do is disassemble it completely and hit gently the lifted side of the frame with a hammer so it fits flush again, before doing this, Do you have any sugestion or advice? Has this happened to you?
Also since I dont have a proper heat gun and I'll be using a hair dryer I would thank you if you know and can tell me what areas of the lcd are glued to the main frame, pic attached, if you know you could use paint to point them.
Im a bit worried about the tension the phone is getting with the cover on, I hope only the main frame is getting it... as the phone is pushed to its side (0.5-1mm maybe) I cant plug my headphones and i get slightly worse overall signal. Thank you in advance for any help.

I wanted to try it myself, but didn't have the guts. Sorry to hear your problem.
The guide said "5. Clean off all the crappy double sided tape from the factory."
It seems to me that you have put the same double tape. I suggest you remove the LCD again, clean the old tape and apply a new one.
Good Luck!
Edit: Does your touchscreen work well?

Dont be afraid of trying, i was also scared at first but bah, 1. There's no official htc support in my country 2. I dont trust repair houses. 3 I wont wait 2-4 weeks for something relatively easy. So why dont try by yourself?
"Clean off all the crappy double sided tape from the factory" I dont have double sided tape at hand right now, getting it in 2 days, however thats not the problem, the glass sits flush and tight even with the old tape, the problem is that as i said my phone somehow got wider and the back cover is hard to put. Thanks, im gonna need good luck.
Oh and yes my touchscreen works perfectly.

There's no HTC support in my county either. Maybe it got wider because of the heat. Even though the glass sits tight I suggest you change the old tape, cause that's what let dust in the first place. The guide said also smth about silicon, did you apply it?
Was it difficult to remove the LCD with the hairdryer? I don't have a heatgun.
LOL, seems I'm the one doing the questions now.

No it didnt got wider because of the heat, when i was trying to open it i forced the bezel/metal main frame (4th pic) so it unclipped. Getting the double tape tomorrow. No way im gonna put silicon, ill put just 4 tiny squares of doublesided tape, i would rather clean it monthly than that, also i keep it always clean, it just had the dust before (second hand).
Yes, it was very difficult to remove the LCD, dont even try this without a heatgun, i was lucky to not mess something else duh i even crushed the LCD cable a bit, but it works normally. Only solution now is to get a new main frame.

Thanks for the advice. I hope you manage to fix your phone

need advice how to patch up my physically damaged M7

Alright, I did send sms on my bicycle which resulted in I did drop the phone on the ground. Luckily I had ad NILLKIN glass screen protector, which did save most of the phone . I have ordered a new Nillkin screen protector from Aliexpress. And I hope to patch up this phone so it looks good again. How would you have done ?
As you can see at the bottom in the pictures there is physically damage, you can you see the screen bleeding thru also the huwawei logo is damaged.
My idea is UNDER the NEW Nillkin screen protector I will try to mask these "holes" so the screen is not beelding thru anymore. What material should I use to patch up these holes.. also.. how to repar the logo ? can I print it out on my computer printer ? it might look **** on paper but UNDER the glass protector it might look a lot better.
All creative ideas are appreciated, I have high hopes the phone will look good again..
And hopefully my phone will surrive until the M8 release.
Just to let you know desipite the glass look damaged like this the phone is still fully functional!!

ouch i can feel with you.
How about some black film, black paper or everything else that is black and thin

Yes some black material for sure.. Black film would be perfect in guess.. Just wonder where to get it also some black glue at the sides also..

Maybe you can find a front replacement? - http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Front-O...-Parts-For-Huawei-Ascend-Mate-7-/201270995814

Nice man might be a very good alternative! But how easy is it to change it really?
Do I need a heat gun for that?

Don't know. I don't advise to do it yourself , just go with the phone to any service, I'm sure they know how to do the operation. Or maybe you have an huawei service near you.
Or...if you have the courage go for it ) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDiaQOzCvfE & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUl8dCuhBGw

I have done some smartphone repair myself, I changed the USB board on my old Galaxy Note 1.
I bought a smartphone repair kit with a few tools and very small screwdrivers. To change the glass is probably not much harder, but I need to know if I need a heat gun since I do not own any yet Hopefully it is not needed..but I would assume so...

I might also add the reason I bought a screen protector was that the original glass underneeth have a small crack too that goes accross the entire screen but it s quite invisible besides from certain angels.. so to change that screen to would actually be amazing..and it would make the secondary value when I sell this when M8 is released be a lot higher..

I think you need one. Look at the second yt movie at 22:34. Have an hair dryer?

Yes the Nillkin glass did its job but I think I was unlucky, that the bottom of the phone got under my bicycle tire.. it felt like it...
I recommend Nillkin, IT has very good Oleophobic coating, which makes the whole device a lot more enjoyable to use, but be careful whren you put it on non 100% straight surfaces it will slip onto the floor.
Alright it is more or less decided I will buy a new front cover with glass, I will make sure to get original parts with gorilla glass. Since the ebay link you linked to are chipped from china I guess I can just order straight from alixpress instead...
I have heard singapore post have quite fast shipping compared to china post.

just one question is hard to see in the videos.. but do I really need to disassembly every component all the circuits boards just to change the front screen ? do I need to open the case at all when using the heat gun/hair dryer ?
If as in the every component and circuit board has to be disassembled it is over my competence probably... unless I am super careful..

Mutch better if you want to purchase an original front to replace it. Don,t know if you really need to take all the components of for replacing the front screen, but you can make some research on it or you can ask on other forums, maybe are others with more experience.

yes I understand..must decide tomorrow then.. because of shipping times a fast decision need to be made otherwise I will have to wait too long..

Man I was repairing the whole Mate7 from the scratch!
If u shattered the screen ;
1.You will need new one which cost £40-£60 2.You will have to strip the WHOLE phone which is pain!
3.You will have to open the back cover,which is very hard process.You will need hard force to pop back cover from hinges.(first you need to remove small bottom cover which is plastic.)You will have to pry it underneath is adhesive which holds that small cover firmly.
4.Once you manage to remove back cover you have to disconnect all flex cables.There are 3 black screws and 4 chrome screws(smae like two at bottom) which holds motherboard.
There is small black cover which covers all connectors and it is tricky to remove it,because left side is kind of locked under chrome metalic cover plate! You need to pry it slightly to the right to flip it upwards.Be careful! One black screw holds that small black plate!
Once you remove the motherboard, another and very very hard part awaits you!
5.Removing the battery!
You will need heat gun to remove battery but even that heat gun might ot help you to remove BIG battery without damage !!
I tried to remove battery without damage but no luck.So I will advise you to buy new battery for mate7 mine cost me just £8 from china but I had to wait almost a month to deliver! Disaster shipping from china!
So if you apply lot of heat you might be lucky remove battery without damage.
But I was scared to apply too much heat on battery it could result in explosion or fire!!!
So I rather purchased one.
Once you remove battery, you can remove bottom part of phone which is usb board with speaker and plastics. It is up to you you dont need to remove it.
6.Removing the damaged screen from (middle) supporting frame!
This can be easy depends how screen is damaged. BUT
Here you have 2 options to replace screen.
A:You can buy screen without supporting frame which is harder and more work and heat gunning around the screen and prying screen from middle frame.Needs like 30-40 seconds of heating around the screen not in the middle.
B:You can buy s reen with middle frame which is very easy.Screen is already fited in frame so you dont need to mess with very slim adhesive srtips around the screen(which I done)
Then you will have to remove all parts from middle frame. Ear speaker ,loud speaker usb board and replace it to new housing.
Once you will set the new screen you can put all parts back together..
Replacing screen for this phone is PAIN!
It really needs skills and be careful because it is very easy to scratch back cover.

Hello and thanks, I appreciate your detailed instructions.
But I need to say one really IMPORTANT THING
IT IS NOT THE SCREEN THAT I NEED TO CHANGE THE ACTUAL SCREEN AND LCD IS WORKING PERFECTLEY WHAT I NEED TO CHANGE IS THE Front Screen Outer Glass Lens. i HAVE HIGH HOPES THAT IF I ONLY CHANGE THIS I DO NOT NEED TO DO ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS YOU DO SINCE I AM ONLY CHANGING THE GLASS NOT THE ACTUAL SCREEN, IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCREEN AND OUTER GLASS AND FRONT. I HOPE YOU WILL READ MY POST AND GIVE ME AN UPDATE BEFORE I PUSH THE BUY BUTTON THANKS!

''''IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCREEN AND OUTER GLASS AND FRONT''

You was talking about changing the lcd not only the front Glass. I just wanted to make sure you need to do all the instructions to change only front glass. The lcd is working..

And I will give you one last advice ; that my detailed post above I explained you how difficult it is .. YOU want to change glass only ??
And what you think, you can just do it without stripping phone apart ?? Are you magician ? You would have to open phone anyway !
And replacing glass on your screen, do you have any idea how you gonna do it? Removing glass from LCD is x10 TIMES hard that my instructions above man !
So you basically adding even more, harder work to hard work ..!
Do you even have
1.LCD separator heat machine ??
2.Cutting line wire ??
3.Cleaning alcohol chemicals ??
4.Optical clear adhesive glue ??
5.Ultraviolet curing lamp ??
Come oon man ...
I told you I wish you very best of luck..

This guy want to do the exact same thing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8HNBtl9MwI
You have the all process here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDiaQOzCvfE & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUl8dCuhBGw
Take a look and decide if you want do it yourself and risk to mess things up or go with the phone and the replacing part to a service and let someone who did this before.

DIY : Fixing a broken X2 touchscreen/screen yeah !! (also works for X1 !)

OK, not entirely true, you still need a new screen, but this should be a step by step idiot proof how to !!
1) Cry and mourn a little bit over your broken precious, and curse that damn moment where you were reckless ! :angel:
2) Get a new screen+touchscreen assembly (found one for 46$ free shipping on aliexpress). :good:
3) Wait for delivery (mine took around 3 weeks, from china to france).
To open your phone, you'll need : 1 hex screwdriver (H1.0) for one screw
1 of the phillips kind, (size PH*00)
2 finger nails, or any appropriate tool to pry open a phone if none available :silly:
That's it !
4) Look carefully on your new screen where the ribbon is located. This will prevent possible damage when taking apart your phone.
5) Things will get serious now !
6) Remove the 2 plastic covers from top and bottom, by leveraging from the sides. They should pop out quite easily.
7) Remove ALL the 7 screws, including the dirty one hidding beneath the white warranty tape (that bastard made me loose my time, my tamper, and almost my phone !). (By the way... I forgot to say... your warranty is now void... and I'm NOT responsible for whatever might happen, but you already knew that right ?)
8) pry open the phone, starting from the left side, bottom, this is where it gave up first for me.
9) Be carefull with the damn ribbon, it's located on the bottom right ! to fully separate the screen assembly, there is a metallic plate securing the ribbon, which is attached with a 8th screw that is of a metallic color, contrary to the others, which are black.
10) Swap the screen assembly for the new one, you can already check the new screen by turning the phone on. to do so, you need to place at least the right side of the screen in the phone, for the contact pins of the side buttons to touch the springs of the motherboard.
11) If everything works, cry again, but from happiness !!:fingers-crossed:
12) Don't forget to put back the metallic plate and it's securing screw !
13) Put back everything together, and be proud and happy with your good as new phone ! :highfive:

crack across my screen, didn't notice it at first because of the tempered glass i have on it which seems only protects itself ha.
will give this a go.
gorilla glass is clearly a joke.
thanks.

Dear sir, you will be "Mediapad X2 man of the year" if you could make a video on youtube of "how to dissassemble a Mediapad X2"
Great to change a tired battery, and so on...
Kindly yours from an old man

Thx for your excellent tutorial. Could you provide us details about the display you ordered? Which one and how is the quality? I once replaced the screen of my LG G2 and it was cheap plastic and from very bad optical quality. Does someone know, where i can get an original Huawei display? I am from Austria (its the small country in europe, not that with kangaroos )

I found a video for the x1.
May be similar with the x2

Thx for your excellent tutorial. Could you provide us details about the display you ordered? Which one and how is the quality? I once replaced the screen of my LG G2 and it was cheap plastic and from very bad optical quality. Does someone know, where i can get an original Huawei display? I am from Austria (its the small country in europe, not that with kangaroos )

As for the product, I couldn't tell the difference between that one and the old one (when it was still working obviously )
Dear sir, you will be "Mediapad X2 man of the year" if you could make a video on youtube of "how to dissassemble a Mediapad X2"
Great to change a tired battery, and so on...

As for the opening of the phone, it is exactly the same procedure as for the X1 as seen in many videos,
I'm not good at shooting videos, and my spoken english is so crap that you wouldn't understand anything !

@kwenteen Thank you very much, Mr. nice guy!

Just wanted to share my experience
I broke my screen in a fall (result, a 2cm black, dead vertical stripe) and went looking for a replacement. Well, there is a trap.
I found the only two videos around depicting the disassembly : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeQqJzGmjgk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NOG1SISbKw . They are both for the x1, but the process is exactly the same for the x2. It seemed easy enough, so I went ahead.
The problem comes just after : in both videos, you basically open the phone in two, change the screen side including its plastic frame, and that's it. And on the replacement screen I got... There was no frame.
Scratching a bit further, you can find 2 types of screen on aliexpress or or eBay :
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-..._1&btsid=39217636-d23b-40e9-80a5-2d40f85d4b5d
Or
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...2439027932.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.58.J1RiVO
(relevant pictures at the bottom of that page)
The first one comes without the plastic frame, the back is just a mirror with a little black surface on top and bottom, no plastic at all. The second comes with the plastic frame attached, complete with power and volume buttons, and fixations to the other half of the phone.
I found no documentation at all on the Internet on how to remove the screen from the frame, but it's at once very simple and a bit hard : the frame is glued to the screen by a two sides adhesive, it came off using a combination of fingernails, cardboard, patience and terror of breaking it. Insert fingernails between the glass and the gleaming plastic you see around the screen when you look a the front of your phone, and pull. Fear ensues. Begin in the middle of the sides, insert cardboard, and move along the side.
You then have to glue the new screen back on the frame. It's pretty easy on the large surfaces on the top and bottom, but quite tricky on the sides, which are less than 1 mm wide. Non-permanent adhesive is recommended, and some screens come with tools and 2 sided pre-cut adhesive. And also be _very_ careful when inserting the metallic speaker plate on top, I broke the glass surface of the screen when doing so. Yippee. Luckily it still worked.
The new screen was fully functional, except for two problems : double tap to wake doesn't work anymore (it worked flawlessly on the old screen), and the screen strangely lacks sensitivity when the phone wakes from a deep sleep. A reboot fixes the second problem. Very annoying, I wonder if the two issues are linked.
To sort all this out I ordered a second screen with frame, I'll live with this one until it arrives.
That's where I am currently, I hope it might help someone out there, as I have not seen those informations around on the Internet.
Good luck to you all!

Well that's good to know, new possibilities can't hurt, specially when it's cheaper !
But it can be quite confusing !
I even noticed that they now sell digitizers only, for 13 €, which is even cheaper !
I might give it a try to fix my old panel, and make a tuto out of it, if by any chance I was to succeed ! (which will not happen !)

Samsung S7 Edge Pink Line - Reason and Solution

Hi guys and gals, so I have determined the cause and solution in some cases of pink screen line.
NOTE: I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR FURTHER DAMAGE YOU CAUSE BY TRYING THIS! THIS IS MEANT AS A LAST RESORT BEFORE REPLACING THE ENTIRE SCREEN/DIGITIZER!
Problem :
Problem is with the flex ribbon cable that attaches to the screen. I had the pink line and had smashed my screen, so I ordered a new one and replaced it.
Cause:
The high heat of our device melts the glue that attaches the ribbon. I learned that because after speed testing kernels on the device with the new screen, the line eventually reappeared.
Solution:
Heat can also fix the problem, if it hasn't gotten too bad. If you can find the pressure or position where the pink line goes away, use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm the area at the top right of the screen, usually at the selfie camera. Heat from above so you're heating the screen and the top of the device. Once it's hot, but not too hot (yes frustrating but only do this as a last resort before buying a replacement screen), then allow to cool naturally back to room temp. If the line was absent the whole time heating and cooling, there's a chance you've fixed it.
DANGEROUS LAST RESORT:
THIS IS 90% CERTAIN TO CRACK YOUR SCREEN! Now, if this didn't work, and you're Very adventurous, you can search Google for s7 edge ifixit, and see how you can CAREFULLY heat the glue around the whole screen. Don't remove the screen, as it WILL break! But perhaps you can get a pick or card into the top just enough to see the flex ribbon, use same pick or card to lightly press the ribbon as you heat and cool as per above instructions.

It would've been awesome if there was a video tutorial.

Someone tested it ? Some video tutorial could be really helpfully to repair this. What temperature should i go ? I think the best option will be to use a hot air soldering station but i need more info.
Best regards RufleX

Hello.
I work allot with prints directly. Scripting flashing repairing and debug in field. So I can asure you on a fact this will work.
The only part I'm questioning is the fact if they did use glue for a flat cable. Since logic wise for differemt prints ypu use a lock way cheaper and easier to replace parts.
If they dis use glue this fix will only be a temporary one. Since the glue will spread more and more. Each time you will do it this way.
So like I said. What the best man said is true. It will work. Only if it is glue. It might be possible it will only work for like 3 months or so. Depends on the ammount of glue and connector type they use. Can't say anything about that part. Only reason I reply because no one else did since u asked this question.

Yesterday was a really hot day (well for England) and part way through, I noticed a very thin pink line appear. The phone was hot but not entirely my fault.
Anyway, it disappeared a few minutes later and hasn't returned. Slightly worrying though.

Back today. Pressing hard on the top right actually makes it thicker. Gone again as I type this message.
Is it covered by warranty?

Ill go with the first guys suggestion. As i ve done this before with many electrical products. I will not go sticking objects into my waterproof phone.

Did anyone try to open in via the back and push something in to hold the connector like in this s6 edge video ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed2VvM7uEIE

there is a whole group on this problem
see fb group

I had this issue repaired under warranty. What surprised me from the beginning of owning this phone was just how hot it would get when the screen was on, firmware updates and so on. Sometimes almost too hot to touch. Since the repair it only ever gets mildly warm. I didn't get a repair sheet when the phone came back but I wonder if it was just the screen that was replaced or whether the screens have been redesigned?

Has anyone tried the last resort?

Nothings helped I brought it back to shop where i bought it . my device has 2 years warrenty . I get a new device.

it is not because of heat, i used mine for 2 years, during the summer (40c) with heavy use, and i have no pink line. it's just a manufacturing defect.

I picked up a used s7 edge with a cracked back glass. It is now showing this pink line issue. I started to notice it after it had been in my front pocket. I know it did not get hot in there ( sure would have noticed it there ), but it was definitely put under pressure when I would sit. Most of the time the line would go away by turning the screen on and off a few times and would stay gone until I carried it in my pocket again. The other day it came up and would not go away. I finally downloaded LCD-Test and swiped through the RGB screens a couple times and it went away and hasn't returned. On doing some experimentation I found that by pressing near the front camera I could create the issue but it would go away when removing the pressure. Confirming that it is indeed a physical issue that seems to latch on if pressure is applied for enough time. I have a new back glass coming and am wondering if the heat I will apply in removing the glass will help with this issue. " Will post result when completed " I am also looking in to a case that will take the stress off the top corner of the phone when it is in my pocket. Any Ideas ?

Pink Line Issue
Hi everyone, I have a question about pink like issue on S7 edge.
I've been living with the pink line since early this year, recently the line is getting too thick I couldn't bear with it anymore, so I decided to get it changed.
The question is, I've read threads that says the pink line appears are because of design flaw. So if I replaced the screen (which costs a bomb) will that appear again after a year of use?
Side note, my pink link appears about a year after I bought this.
Any owner who suffer also from pink line issue, are you still facing same issue after screen is replaced?
Thanks for your time.

Here's a new observance of the pink line issue. After a day with no problems hanging around the house. Yesterday morning I went out into below freezing temps. Pink line came up almost immediately. ( Something in top of phone changing due to temp ? ) Upon getting home got it to reset and left it inside the rest of yesterday and all of today. ( No pink line ) interesting.

Once again today, have stayed inside and no pink line.

1. Try the flashing colour solutions
2. Try some pressure at Samsung logo
3. Try to get warranty fix by Samsung if your phone isn't damaged
4. Here is a video on how I permanently fixed mine :good:
youtube.com/watch?v=dacCTRU6snY

Thank you man, I replaced the screen and after a fex months the line appeared, it dissapeared whan I pressed or lifted the screen a bit so, for me, was easy to lift it a it than heating and glueing because that part off the screen didnt have glue.
Tnx for your post I fixed the line.
