Hi,
I'm new to this forum so I'm not sure how this works or if I'm posting in the right place so apologies if I'm not.I have a Samsung Galaxy s4. Im from Ireland so I have the I9505 version.
About a week ago, the screen froze and stopped working. Its not cracked or broken and it wasn't dropped. The LCD lights up but the screen will not respond to touch. Everything works as normal: phone receives calls, texts and emails however I cant access them because I cant use the screen.
I got my friends galaxy s4 and connected his screen to it and it worked perfectly so its definitely the screen at fault. I rang Samsung and they gave me the impression it will be covered under warranty. They are sending me out a padded envelope and I am sending the phone to their authorized repair center in Dublin.
My problem is that when testing my friends screen on the phone, I accidentally removed a small clip that holds the front facing camera and proximity sensor down against the sceeen. I didn't realise until it was gone and I cant find it anywhere.
I am sending the phone to Samsung next week and I fear that they will refuse to fix the phone because they will know there was unauthorized access because this clip is missing.
I looked on eBay for a replacement clip but I cant find one. Does anybody know where I can buy one?
Or do you think Samsung will refuse to fix the screen on account of them knowing the phone has been opened?
I would appreciate any help,
Thanks in advance
Hi, i have a Samsung Galaxy S, the model is i9000b, the one with digital TV. I've broke the screen, and a friend of mine gave me his Samsung i9003 to see if i can do the replacement.
The problem is that my phone has a LED screen and my friend's phone has a LCD screen. The conector is the same in both screens, and it fits perfectly.
Can i do the replacement or will i have a problem?
Thanks!
It's been more than 6 months since the phone was released, to all the people who are still using the phone how bad is the burn in issue?
Bought Mid-summer. I can see some burn in. especially on grey backgrounds. But generally if you dont look for it, you dont see it, so... yeah... PPI grow up, burn in stays, like on s1 s2 s3 s4 s5
how do galaxy owners get burn-in? i owned several Samsung Galaxy S devices (S1, S3, S4, S6, Note 2, Tab S) and luckily never experienced it. Are you leaving screen brightness at max all the time and screen timeout at 10 minutes?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
More like how the hell do you get burn in... I've had an S3, S4, S5 and my current S6 and I've never had burn in. He'll I tried to get burn in on my S4 by putting the screen brightness to the max and leaving the screen on overnight for 2 weeks and nothing...
I also have screen timeout set to the maximum so 10 minutes on stock TouchWiz and infinite back in the CM days
My sister have S4 Mini which have VERY BAD burn in, my GF have S3 Neo which have burn in too at upper screen
I use my phone extensively and since amoled screens have become brighter and brighter it tends to burn in more easily. You can use dial *#0*# and click on the blue screen and look at the status bar area. That area will always be the first to burn in. I dont know about others but i have very sensitive eye sight.
But hey, it's my experience. Im just sharing. No need to trash me with your i dont have burn in here i never had a burn in there.
Cheers.
Hey guys,
I ran into a huge bout of bad luck beginning with my own lack of mindfulness. I dropped my S6 and shattered the screen. I bought a screen that was advertised as being OEM and plugged it in. It powered on and it seemed to work fine but there were these strange lines (not the really bright ones, but kind of like dull scan lines) and it just seemed very low resolution. I assume that the replacement screen was defective as well, but I'm not sure if this could also be a motherboard issue?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
edit: i see this is the sub for the non 2014 version, but maybe you can help me, too.
Hi, since I got up this morning the screen of my Note 10.1 has a white halo on it.
Do you think it's a hardware fault? New screens sadly cost double what a used note 10.1 would cost, but maybe its just a loose connector?
Its flickering and getting worse the more contrast it has to display.
Anyone have seen something like this before
