[Q] Question about screens on the Vibrant and Galaxy S 4g

I have a question for you all. First post in this forum so here goes. A while ago my wife got a Samsung Galaxy S 4g. Well she wanted to try to replace the bezel with a non chipped nickel one. She cracked the screen while trying to separate the screen. So I thought we can just buy a cheap vibrant from craigslist and and swap out the screen but doing the FFC hole. Everything went great. Keep in mind the phone we got off of craigslist wouldn't turn on, nothing. So we swapped out the screen hooked everything up. She has wifi, texting, phone everything but the phone after 2 mins the screen turned green I mean green. The seller claimed it was a brand new screen so I don't know what do do from here. Are the screens compatible. I looked at the specs and everything looks the same except the FFC. So now she is left with a green screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

Don't know the answer to your question. Found this site awhile back with OEM parts if you do not find a solution.

Try and make sure the flex ribbon for the screen is seated properly and snug.

[Q] Screen Recommendations

My screen cracked this weekend on my AT&T HOX. The LCD appears to be fine, but, from everything I've read, it will need to be replaced too. Does anyone have a recommendation of someone to buy the LCD/Screen Digitizer from? There are a ton of choices out there, but I want to make sure I get a screen that will be comparable to what I have now.
Thanks

Yes, you can use whatever colour.
It's just a real pain in the arse to heat it up and carefully pry the glass off - but it's worth it if you're cheap and patient.

Reviving my (cracked) Nexus 4

Hi there, could anyone tell me based on experience, a really good LCD Screen + digitizer for me to buy? I can buy from ebay.in or ebay.com but there are hardly any ratings at all. If anyone has bought one, could you please tell me about the quality, link and if so, any defects? I would much appreciate it, thanks. Basically my screen is cracked an unresponsive, so i'm guessing I need LCD+Digi.

Hi, less than a month ago my screen also cracked, so I had to buy a new screen. Before buying it, I unmounted the phone and I had one more problem: the battery was COMPLETELY glued to the screen and I wasn't able to take it out. So finally I bought the screen and a new battery from eBay.
I bought this screen: ebay.com/itm/181445812771. I'm completely sure that the screen is the original one. I compared it with my cracked screen and they were exactly the same, except for the date printed in each screen, and it has a good quality, just as the screen that I had in my phone. BUT it was clearly used: the earpiece was a bit dirty and it had some glue on the back, probably from another battery. But I'm happy with the screen, actually, I prefer a used but original screen to a new but poor quality screen. Maybe they take this screen from a phone with a damaged motherboard or something like that. The screen doesn't have any scratch.
I wasn't so lucky with the battery. It was clearly a fake, so I returned it and bought another one from spareslg.com. I don't know if this battery is original or not, because there are some differencies between this one and the battery that I used before. Maybe this one has a bit better battery life, but I'm not sure, because now I'm using another ROM (based on 6.0 )
FYI, the non-original screens usually have problems with the proximity sensor and the GPS, so be careful with that. Good luck with the screen change! :good:

Note Edge N915S Screen Replacement Question

So I recently broke the screen to my phone and it was working fine but yesterday I started to get lines across the screen and cannot use anymore.
Figured its time to finally buy a replacement screen and I want the one already on the frame. I just can't seem to find one specific to the Korean models the 915 S/K/L.
Instead there are only ones for 915 P/T which is the American models. After looking between the 2 frames many many times I can only spot one difference between the two which is the positioning of the thermal tape right under the one for the CPU. All in all I think it should fit but still hesitant. Does anyone have experience replacing screens on the Edge who has any experience you could share with me.
The first picture is of the frame from my N915S and the second frame is for a listing I have been looking to buy which is for the N915P

Welp, I just tried my luck and ordered the part in and it fit everything without a problem.
For anyone in a similar situation for me it seems like the frames for this phone will fit with all models.

My screen is broken. It's not annoying but i hate it. How in lord's name did you manage to replace your glass and how much did it cost and how much did it cost to replace and where did you replace it at?

Replaced it myself, it's easier to buy the entire frame assembly + screen rather than just the screen as taking off the screen off the frame is a pain.
Also if you buy frame + screen you have a better chance at finding OEM parts rather than chinese knockoff.
Gotta warn you though the replacement for a screen costs more than some whole phones.
Something like this would be optimal: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Excellent-Bl...241748?hash=item4af43d5b94:g:VxkAAOSwT4lWThZa
Tutorial on how to swap over all the parts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYEwEHRki_8
Mine is the Korean model the 915S and the frame I bought was for 915T and 915P but everything still fit so it shouldn't matter which model frame you buy.

Thanks I'll check it out. And yeah while the pricing is huge, this phone is a one of a kind phone. It still doesn't justify the pricing but I'll let it slide because of how much this phone has helped me out with the multi screen and its note taking features

That's the exact same reason why I wanted to get this fixed. I usually sell off phones before buying a new one but want to keep this around as the first curved phone I ever owned.
Also found out that the headphone jack needs to be replaced with the one that matches your motherboard. Was trying to get audio to work in my car for hours before finding out that the issue was on the phone haha

I have ordered this one
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fast...90.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.274.5R2YVv
for a common dreaded problem of having vertical green lines appearing on LCD from nowhere (although my fault, it got it dropped on flat floor from my shoulder height a couple of times). In my case the green lines are appearing on the edge panel itself only, so the old LCD maybe useful for me to keep just for an emergency replacement as well.
Does this one looks ok, I mean any of the replacement LCD+Frame+Digitizer combo ordered from either ebay or china would rather be coming from only a handful or sources (resellers), and maybe only one or two manufacturers (who might be manufacturing it as OEM as well).
How was your experience with the replacement LCD, does it looks and feels just like original in screen clarity, colours and touch responsiveness.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

I bought mine with a cracked screen and replaced it myself. It was my first time repairing a smartphone and I followed the same instructions as the Youtube video linked above.
I found the process quite easy, luckily most of the components have screws and the video is easy to follow so I was done after 20 minutes. I can't compare with the previous screen by if I do a comparison with other phones we have at home (Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, Nexus 6) the screen looks fantastic!
