Or msybe somebody wants to buy them??
Hello,
I've recently been given a Galaxy S3 phone. The phone has preciously been dropped in from what i understand it some water. Now the thing is. The phone's touchscreen is broken as in the touch doesn't work. the LCD however works so you can clearly see the image. Now for the rest the phone works. When you charge it up and start it. It functions properly loads up the operating system even the alarms work well i can't really press anything since the touch is fried but everything else looks good. So now i am about to order a touch screen + lcd replacement for it, including a backplate since it's kind of bruised. My question is what is your opinion of this.
The phone has previous been taken to a store where they demanded 300 euro to fix it under the condition that the touch screen was broken. So it has been researched from what i assume were professionals.
Before you ask i have plenty of knowledge with repairing fixing delicate computer equipment i have no knowledge of how to change a screen however plenty of online videos about it and it doesn't really look that difficult. Now my question is do you think the phone would work if i am to change the LCD + Touch.
Hi Devs, Members and Guests, how you doing? To be honest I was doing well until my LG G2 cracked on the top just a bit and now I can't pull my notification bar or do any operations on the top of the phone...
I re-created with Paint what happened to the top of my phone:

The red and orange is exactly where the crack of the phone is, not that thick, however it's noticeable. The black marked area is where you the phone does not operate (you touch it and it doesn't do anything). The green line is safe area. Also, I'm running CM11 (recommended for any LG G2 users) with TWRP and runs very good.
Now the problem is that I really need my phone fully working again.. It works but I have to do some weird stuff so I can at least text someone. So here I got some questions that you guys can help me out:
1) How much you guys think it is to fix the screen?
2) Is it possible to change the resolution or the display in the phone so it will be displaying the ROM in the working area of the phone? Here is what I mean by that:

3) Any other solutions you guys got?
Thanks for all of you who read and those who can reply and help. Have a good day
First off, fixing the phone will cost you, if you do it yourself, around $60-$70 bucks. That is for the LCD+Digitizer+mid body assembly. And that is by far the easiest way to repair the phone. You just switch all your internal parts from your old assembly over to the new assembly and pop your back cover on. Easy breazy. I just did this myself and my phone is now working great. As for your second question about changing the resolution, no. You can change your resolution but it will not "shrink" your screen to the usable portion. Your only option is to replace the LCD and Digitizer.
Put new digitizer on LG G2 old one had no display at all. Put it on and now on start up LG screen it has verticle white lines. On actual screen the touch works but display is foggy(especially on bottom) and very sensitive typing. From reading on here appears to be software issue maybe? Not recognizing LCD? Do I need a kernel download? This is not my phone so don't want to do anymore than I have to get working. It is running original software that came with phone. It is AT&T. Honestly most of what I've read is way over my head. Laymen terms would be good. Thanks in advance.
I'm sure it's on here somewhere but Ill just ask specifically.
As the title says I have a broken screen and it's locked and no USB debug on a Gs7.
It does have twrp but I can't tell if I've booted into recovery or not but need to force USB enabling so I can take the info off it (pics app data etc) whatever I can recover without going and buying a screen. I have a program I got off this fantastic site (xda) to run the phone from a pc and mirror the broken screen, but can't use it for the obvious above mentioned reason.
Any help or point me to the right threads would be amazing and appreciated
unfortunately it seems there's no straightforward way to connect a S7 to a TV with a cable, as they dropped MHL support for this model. every method for connecting to a display involves going through menus on the phone.
if you are willing to take the thing apart, it is possible to source a replacement screen quite cheaply with a bit of luck on ebay. instead of looking for a replacement part, look for a broken phone with a working screen. this can be found for a fraction of the price of a replacement screen. even cheaper if you get get one with a screen that is cracked, has a dead pixel spot, pink line, image burn-in, flickers when it gets cold etc. there's plenty of these available, and it will get you where you want to go, though if you get one in good condition, you will end up with a phone you can still sell for a decent price.
once you've got past the hard part, which is getting the back glass off, you can do the rest with a screwdriver and a spudger, just swap the logic board over into the new phone.

I've considered that, Ive had to open up an s5 and plug the screen into another one for same reasons.
I spose the method to manually push USB debug thru recovery off a pc works for old models only? If there was a way to do that, the program I picked up could or would let me unlock the screen by pc. But is probably better to find a 20$ phone with the screen intact
