Hello,
Has anyone replaced their Screen with an AMOLED version?
Just curious... probably problems with the drivers.. and I'm not sure if the mainboard will support AMOLED? Just an idea.
It would be a problem all the way around. Drivers, fit, and having the correct hardware on the motherboard to support the new LCD. I would say it would almost be impossible unless an LCD manufacturer made a direct replacement for our phone.

Hello Friends,
yesterday when i saw the screen of my xda exec i saw a big black spot on the centre of the screen, not sure how it happened. i can still make calls from the phone.
but now i want to figure out whether i'll need to replace touchscreen or the LCD or both but i dont know how to figure out which one is broken.
Any help will be really appreciated on this.

Chances are
if the touch capability is intact, it's your LCD. The opposite, where the screen looks fine, but the touch is gone, would be your digitizer. However, unless you know how to replace a digitizer, I recommend getting both, LCD and a digitizer in one unit, rather than attempt to assemble the screen yourself. Which, judging by your question, is likely to be the case.

I would only iterate what enigma1nz had to say . It's at least your LCD at fault, but buy both as one unit. Or, buy a Uni that guarantees a working LCD+Touch pad (ie, a Uni with only a broken broken mobo/usb/doesn't boot etc) from eBay or the like.
First of all, I would just take the screen part of the Uni apart and check all is tight when replacing, as if the LCD has no obvious cracks, it's very likely a rubber-strip contact or similar.
NB. If anyone is interested in purchasing a fully-working Uni (brand new casing), with a non-functional touch/digitizer (guaranteed working everything else incl. LCD), I'm about to put on eBay. (PM me)
hello,
does anybody know difference between these lcd types for vox :
60HH00087-00MM

i buy it as a brand new spare part for vox, seller said that never found diffrent types of lcd's
Can you derive if just the backlight is not ok and the screen works (you need some very bright light to see this) or will it stay without any signs of life?
Anyway it is simply defective - return it to the seller.
both types works fine, problem was with my assembling process and lcd connector
Yes, you need to know how to unlock/lock the connector for the LCD flexcable, otherwise it will not connect.
Are you happy with the brightness of the LCD? I had one replacement LCD which was only half as bright as the original one (like the dimmed state there) - no more readable in direct sunlight.
If it is as bright: where did you buy it?
Hello
My I9023's SLCD screen is busted and I need to replace it.
Can I use an AMOLED one like the one on the I9020?
Screen Replacement
From what I read. Those two type of screens are not interchangeable. Something to do with the digitizer stuff thing. That's why BLN apps are harder to implement on SLCD types than their AMOLED brethrens. Better save up and sell your broken phone for parts and get the AMOLED equipped Nexus S if your still up to it. Or I could be wrong. Just my 2 cents buddy.

I'm in the same situation with my i9023 but i'd like to repair it by myself. I've read some threads that after mounting the new screen everything works but the touch, does this happen with both brethrens (SLCD, AMOLED) or just one in particular?
Hi!
I was heartbroken when my MT4GS broke recently. I need a replacement screen assembly for it. I've been looking on ebay, but I only see phones with broken screens or individual service parts. I have a working motherboard but, I need the entire screen assembly replaced.
If anyone has a bricked (or fully working) MT4GS with an otherwise nice looking (and working) screen that's just lying around collecting dust that they would be willing to sell cheap, I would be very happy. I should mention I live in Europe. I'll cover any fees, obviously.
Alternatively, does anyone know of a worthy successor (GSM Android QWERTY slider)?
Thanks.
You should try ebay. there are all sorts of spare parts for this phone and you can get just the part you need without having to buy an entire phone. At least that way you will spend less and not end up with parts you do not need.
very true, this happens to be one of the more pain in the ass phones to fix but it still isnt all to bad. a new digitizer (and very likely will need a new lcd as near impossible to separate) will be in the range of 50$ if you need more than this other parts arent too expensive and not terrible to replace.
as a successor... there really isnt one, closet upgrade with a qwerty is the galaxy relay, others may disagree but between the vision and the doubleshot i am hard pressed to find a true high quality qwerty phone

I've never had any trouble getting my LCD out. Though my phone had been opened before, so the sticky wasn't as well stuck to the backside of the LCD. You can use a bit of hairdryer heat to loosen the adhesive.
Now digitizers... Those I seem to burn through.
Well, I suspected that the cable connecting the screen to the motherboard had become damaged, due to the touch function and screen dying when sliding the phone open. I did order a spare part on ebay but in trying to seperate it from the LCD, I ended up making it worse. I did use a hairdryer to warm up the adhesive, alas, it seems I wasn't careful enough. The end result is that I now have a "bottom" part (keyboard, motherboard, etc.) which is (presumably) still undamaged, but I need an entirely new screen assembly.
I recently dropped and broke my phone due to bleeding. The LCD is now completely black and needs to be replaced. The phone is g920w8.
My question is: Are there different LCDs for different variants?
So can I get a g920 lcd replacement from amazon and will it work on this device?

First off, it's not an LCD panel, it's an AMOLED panel and as far as i know it's only made by Samsung (correct me if i'm wrong).
actually i checked those LCD panels on amazon, and i felt suspicious.. also reviews saying poor quality, and i think it'll never compared to the original panels made by Samsung.
So, are you still in warranty ?, can you bring it to any of Samsung's service centers ?
