Hello.
I wanted to change my phone lately , so at first I looked at the phone I loved last year , htc10 (because of the clean android , no bloatware and the all around decent-ness) , until I noticed Id have a hard time finding screen protectors , cases , etc for the phone in my country , and it doesnt have warranty in my country and finding a repairman is hard if needed. so buying the htc 10 would be risky in the long run (and short run if I drop it or something)
then I saw the s7 edge on sale for a reasonable price (around $100 more expensive than the htc 10) so I considered that as well , but thats where I have my biggest question.
I have seen glass screen protectors for s7edge but all the comments said that it affected the touchscreen making it less sensitive to touch and all that . are the glass screen protectors for s7edge really that bad or are they the same as other phones' ?
(and by the way , weird as it may sound , s7edge is cheaper than normal s7 in my country , so I wouldnt want s7 , and I dont like touchwiz , so not a fan of samsung , but the s7edge price is nice when compared to my other choices)
then I saw the LG g6 , which I really like , but the software doesnt look good either (i've heard its similar to touchwiz about bloatware , and I dont like how it looks) and the previous flagships have had issues such as bootloops and broken camera lenses , which makes me worry about buying it.
i was also wondering if LG had any form of themes app similar to htc/samsung which could change the entire look of the phone ?
any recommendations which one to buy?
thanks in advance

Hello guys,
Has anyone ever needed a screen for their i727? A friend of mine managed to drop my phone on a step, facing down.
So at first you could only see a little of the top part of the screen ( with the lower half non functional) and afterwards it went all black, you can't see anything on it anymore. Volume rocker and on/off buttons work.
Do you know what would be the best option for me to get a screen/display from, given I am from Europe/Romania? Samsung here said that they don't fix something not intended for our market ( lol )...
So, would ebay be a good option? Are they original ? [le:] --- hurr durr .-- I'm a new user so I can't post links to ebay... I found 2 sellers (for white version) [/le]
Also, could it be more than just the screen ? My laptop sees it (but obviously can't select the memory card). what else could be affected?
Thanks a lot and if anybody has any other sites ( I chose ebay because they ship here).

It's the screen. Youtube, search for "i727 disassembly" or "i727 screen replacement", look at it, if you feel confident enough - buy one on eBay and do the replacement.

I agree completely, my friend replaced his screen this way. However, if you are not comfortable doing it, you might just want to buy a new one. The phone is cheap now that the S3 and S4 are out.
Also depending on how bad the drop was there could be lots of things wrong/damaged with your phone.

thank you for your replies. I just dropped it off at a guy who has a service shop (well sort of) and he will take a look and see if anything else is wrong with it.. The phone is indeed cheap, this being one of the reasons I bought this model ( and also the 4 touch sensitive buttons at the bottom - not fancying the new trend of the galaxy family).
The thing was that I was trying to find something that was indeed OEM branded. I was afraid and still am to get something that will brake shortly after replacement. Even so, the display is 70% of the price of the phone lol..drat!
Anyway thanks for the replies...I was really enjoying the upgrade from my old infuse ..while it lasted.. :crying:
Cheers
Yeah, it is an expensive part but if you take the phone apart, you'll notice it makes up about half the phone.

I recently bought a Note Edge n915yf from an on line second hand shop. Cell phone is in mint condition BUT the screen.
It has severe burn ins or ghosting i am not really sure about it. .
I have 2 questions ?
1st Phone still has 1 year factory warranty , is the burn in , covered by there warranty or i have to pay the cost ?
2nd is there any PROOVEN solution for it like the various tools found online like , Display Testers and Burn in fixers ?
ive checked various topics about nexus 6 an note 4 but none for the edge.
Wow I am sorry. That looks worse than the burn in on my S4 which is on for work 12 hours a day.
1) I'd email samsung support in the country you're in
2) Not sure that you'd benefit from a burn in fixer, long term no benefit IMO.
Thnks man appreciated.

Because complain is free!... I Don have any issue after 3 month of very heavy use.
I went through 5 s6. All pink screen issues, non of the others.

I got one without any issues. I would go buy one in store so u can actually check it out before u leave. Dont let other peoples problems keep u from getting the phone u want. Unless u want to wait for the note 5 this is the only fingerprint scanner worth using other than the iphone

All the S6's have screen issues to some extent whether people wish to believe it or whether they can see it or not, but if you need a fingerprint scanner don't bother, it's rubbish.

No offence, but I think you do it wrong then. I have had 4 different phones with a fingerprint scanner and this is clearly the best and most accurate I have ever had. Only have my thumb scanned in once (some do more for better precision) and it always unlock the phone right away.
dont buy s6 ! sucks
-no memory
-no battery
-no radio and other problems with no fix
-no ROMS !
-pink screen in outdoor
-battery life sucks

Yeah, 44 hours + standby time with 4 hours SOT is ****ty battery.
Getting 8-10 hours SOT if using on Wifi all day. If I use my phone as my grandpa it can hold a week (calling once a day, else in standby). XtreStoLite is the rom to go if you want better battery.
i would say wait for the NOTE 5, because it will be better than the S6....you won't regret it, the only reason i regret getting the S6 is because i should of waited for the NOTE 5, but i couldn't wait half a year, i bought mine on april, and it's known that the NOTE 5 always gets unveiled on IFA but this time it will be unveiled sooner, i think about three weeks from now.....so i would say wait for it....
If you want to buy a phone today, get this one. This is the best android phone on the market right now (although I did love my g4), and out of the millions and millions sold, only a few are having major issues. The reason you see so many complaints is because happy people don't broadcast, but people with problems will tell everyone - it's a fraction of total users though. If there are other issues, like scratches or tint, they're pretty rare. That being said, there will be a number of other phones coming out in the next few months that may change the game a bit.
The phone does have very aggressive memory management, but unless you require multitasking it shouldn't be an issue (i use google nav with spotify playing in the background frequently, and never have an issue with doing things on top of that - music still plays and nav keeps going while I'm on xda or surfing the web).
edit - I haven't had any issues whatsoever with my phone, and once rooted and tweaked, it's even better.
So what abt app_e........ Ihave never used ios but what u guys say is it work buying such a costly phone or go with s6 as i today meself physicaly checked 4 s6 sets all having pinkish colour over white .......so confused my note 3 was better why i sold even cant wait foe note 5 release as its date is not clear and waiting sucks................
dont buy s6 ! you gonna end up like in jail ! no cyanogen mod no mods at all so far ! wait for note5 or one plus 2 am sure its gonna be better then this peace of trash
hello,
I have my phone for 2 months, and I made my phone fell this morning
the screen is broken, the phone turns on but the screen stays black ... what ??
Is it possible to resell it to buy another?
How much it cost me to replace the screen?
Ever heard of Google?
Yes i've used it every day ,and before post here, that''s great tool ! And you?? Have you got something for me or you just want to be wicked?
Your questions are pointless
How do we know how much it will cost to replace your screen? We don't know the prices of screens in your area or how much to fit them, Google and find out yourself
And why are you even asking if it is possible to sell it to buy another phone?
Put it on eBay and find out yourself, Google the price of another phone then you'll know
Pointless questions you can find out yourself very easily
I read my first post, and it's not complete , i would like to know if i can do something by me for fixed it .. or if i need to change the screen... and if i must change the screen.. the price or if it's possible to resell it like that ...
Hi all
I'm hoping to get a z flip 4 soon and want to make sure it's as protected as possible. I want to put a good screen protector on it for obvious reasons and was wondering if I need to remove the factory one first or just put new one on top? I believe samsung say not to remove factory one but videos on YouTube say otherwise. What would you guys do?
Cheers
If u want to put another you have to remove factory one and if u not want to remove factory one then use it only
The factory one is pretty good. No more coming up at the edges. Bought presale still looks new. Samsung also offers one free replacement for first year.

@mt2020 Cheers bud, that's good to hear. I'm really looking forward to getting my first decent phone in years!!
The original foil on the display cannot be removed .
Samsung - threatens to void the warranty if the original foil is torn off .
Even when installing the phone , this message appears .
What's more , if the foil becomes damaged or peels off , Samsung will replace it free of charge .
It is also not recommended to stick additional foil .
Cordial greetings .
The internal one is good. I can see no point in trying to change it.
However, the real danger area is the one on the outside and I cannot work out whether it has a factory fitted protector or not. Any info?
Hello !
The external / cover display is not secured .
Personally , I had a foil stuck on - in one of the well-known chains with electronic equipment and RTV / household appliances .
The cost of such a service is less than 10 Euro ... and it lasted 5 minutes .
Due to the fact that I do not use any case , I also covered the entire phone from the outside .
I took my Flip4 to UBreakIfix to have the original factory screen protector replaced under warranty due to delamination. The Samsung website referred me to them. Unfortunately there are few shops in my area that have the machine to install them and they were out of stock. I didn't realize that they even had a machine to install screen protectors. The tech said that the protector delamination issue has been around since the first Flip. I hope the redesigned hinge on the Flip5 won't have this issue.
Dear @Matterhorn ,
tell - please - after what time the protective foil on your Flip 4 delaminates .
It just happened. I pre-ordered my Flip4 so it must be about 6 months old. I'm hoping that the replacement lasts until the Flip5 is released. I also hope they give a big trade in like last time. Otherwise I might have to go back to Pixel and get the 8.

Mine same age as yours, so far zero issues. Came from Pixel, bugs galore and slow to fix. Great camera though. Samsung really got their act together compared to 5 or more years ago. Watch 5 also isn't fully supported with pixel, so hoping camera gets big boost on flip 5.
