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 ?

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,
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.
Sorry, I know this is a developer site, but I'm at a loss here.
I have a Verizon M8 for Windows that had a dodgy touch screen. Everything else worked fine. I purchased an LCD/digitizer and installed it. LCD wont come on. Phone powers on, syncs to PC, I can navigate around by taking screen shots and viewing on the PC, so I know the phone is working ok.
So, I purchased a 2nd screen, thinking the 1st one might be faulty. Same thing. No LCD. If I plug the original LCD in, it lights up fine (I cracked it removing the digitizer, so can't re-use it).
Next, I purchased a good, tested 2nd hand motherboard (Verizon, For windows) thinking I may have damaged the LCD connector. Still no LCD display.
Does anyone know if the screens are specific to either the Verizon or Windows Phone versions? Or anything else I might be missing? I've been repairing phones for years (mostly iPhone, Samsung, Lumia) so I'm not new at this.
Regards.
I think you might have bought bad quality screens. Have you bought them off the same seller? you might want to return them.From my experience,the M8 lcd digitizers are interchangeable across carriers and OS versions(win/Andro).
I have not had any experience with other variants like M8s etc but screen from verizon sprint att fido chatr windows android are interchangeable

Thanks for your reply.
I purchased the screens new from two different suppliers. One was a chinese knock off, the other was a high quality OEM screen. Both were full LCD/touchscreen and front frame assemblies.
I can't believe that both are faulty. As an update, I bought a second hand screen from another Verizon WP M8, and it works perfectly. I'm going to purchase an android version M8 with damaged screen and see if either/both of the new ones work on that.

I replaced my M8's display twice. Bought them from Etradesupply.com. The parts that are rated S+ are original OEM parts direct from them. No third partyish crap going on.

Thanks. I'll give them a try.
I have tried to install even original (stock) LCD from ANDROID phone to WINDOWS phone - it does not work.
But screen from WINDOWS phones works perfectly on any ANDROID phone.
I have an idea that maybe hard reset or flashing RUU will make it work, and I tried: after hard reset even native LCD stopped to work.
Friend, did you tried to flash phone with new screen installed?
So I really love this device albeit some minor problems on custom roms. I don't see myself upgrading/downgrading to another device since I literally use this both as a phone and a portable drawing tablet. Would it be wise if I start stocking up on spare parts (flex cables, LCD + digitizer) or just buy a replacement unit and take out the battery? BTW, are 90x devices interchangeable in terms of spare parts?
My device is starting to get some brighter spots on the screen and it worries me. Hopefully the replacement parts online are good enough.

All parts of Galaxy Note Pro SM-P900 and Galaxy Tab Pro SM-T900 are identical except the LCD assembly and back cover due to the SPen slot.
The most expensive part is the LCD assembly because touchscreen and LCD are glued together with LOCA ( Liquid Optical Clear Adhesive ), you have to replace the whole assembly.
Other parts are cheap and easily to find, you don't need to stock up in advance. LTE models almost the same as Wifi model except mainboard and rear camera.
All LTE models are identical except the firmware, bootloader is locked by provider. You can change Verizon( P905V) to AT&T ( P907A) tablet just by swapping mainboard.
Bright spots are fine on the LCD, they don't effect the function of the display. I even can change an LTE Note Pro to Wifi Note Pro or Tab Pro just by swapping mainboard and rear camera. Rear camera of LTE models doesn't work with Wifi model even they look identical.
Hi, I cracked my screen today! Completely dead.
On ebay UK I only see replacement screens listed as being LCDs. I'm unsure whether this is the seller being completely accurate that they are offering a lower quality part than the original, or if they are mis-naming what is actually an AMOLED screen because they think everyone searches for LCD and not for AMOLED, nobody knows the name AMOLED maybe. I don't mind not getting an original Samsung replacement display, but I do want it to be OLED of some kind rather than LCD.
Does anyone know what the deal is here? I've messaged a few sellers but am not necessarily expecting a technically accurate response.
Thanks.

I've noticed this myself and found that this reference is common (and there's no such display made that's truly LCD) as long as it's specified as being compatible for your device.
Other terms used are "Digitizer", "Digitizer Display" and "Digitizer Display Assembly" on top of a handful of others.
Good Luck!

Thanks, that was pretty much what I had assumed. I just really didn't want to spend the money and end up with an LCD!
LCD Screens are a cheap alternative for replacing the costly Super AMOLED, although, color and image quality are nothing in comparision of a real AMOLED and you will loose some features like Smart Cover and Ambient Display (since LCD screens cannot turn off individual pixels like amoled does), Battery life can be compromised too as LCD displays consume a little more energy than the amoled.
For the price of an original Super AMOLED display (90 Usd aprox) is a better deal to grab a used S5 with a display in mint condition ( the same 90 USD)

James, you're saying that LCDs are actually manufactured as third-party replacements for S5 displays?
I really hope that's not true as I've just bought an eBay item listed as an 'S5 LCD'. I will be very disappointed if I don't receive an AMOLED. I guess I can't argue with the price though.... (20 pounds = $26)

In 2015, Samsung was looking to manufacture the "2K LTPS LCD" display for the Galaxy S5 to replace the "2K resolution AMOLED" displays.
This apparently didn't happen and the "2K resolution AMOLED" displays remains.
I've encountered so many sellers stating the LCD incorrectly.
I do know that the following website link is to a replacement Digitizer Display for the Galaxy S5 and is very reputable with their parts and guides.
https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Android/Galaxy-S5-Screen-and-Digitizer/IF236-000
Just providing another option...
Remember that there's separate Digitizer Display Assemblies (both the Digitizer and glass) and there's Screens (the glass only) that are much cheaper but, a nightmare to separate from the Digitizer Display itself.
Good Luck!

For posterity's sake... I received the new screen today and it is a backlit LCD. This is a bit disappointing but at least it works and is not terrible quality like the last display I bought on ebay.
Pros: cheap, fast shipping
Cons: it's not an AMOLED, colours are pretty muted, the backlight bleeds around the edge of the screen glass even when the display is sealed in place!, the back button is not very responsive, the display is a little thicker than the original and sticks out past the frame instead of being recessed slightly behind the frame.
The item I ordered was called "For Samsung Galaxy S5 i9600 G900F Black LCD Display Touch Screen Digitizer UK" from ebay seller wonderdigital: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332929429585
