Hey guys,
has anyone tried putting a S7 edge Mainboard into a 'normal' S7?
A friend of mine has a totally shattered S7 edge that works apart from the display.
I might get a S7 with some problems but working screens cheap, so would this swap be possible?
On ifixit I saw that the mainboards are very similar, but the screen connector looked different, but they were different versions. (G930V and G935A, 'S7 edge Teardown')
Mine would be SM-G930F and SM-G935F
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Why don't you sell the S7 and with the money you get buy a screen for the edge one?

Hi there, greetings from Roumania
I found a Note Edge at 230 euro but it looks like this: see the attachements!
Currently, I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 which looks incredibly well...no breaks, or scratches or anything else...but I'm looking forward to change my phone to Note 4 or Note Edge...do you have any idea how much would it cost me to change that broken glass or if it's possible to replace only the glass? I read that for this kind of phone, you can't replace the glass only, you have to replace the whole touchscreen, is it real? I really need your answers from your own experience...Thanks in advance!
Still...is it worthing to sell my 1 year guarantee S5 for 220 euro and get that broken Note Edge? I'm very puzzled
I wouldn't.
Give a few more months and somebody will be selling one cheap enough anyway.
Hello, I have the 935F from the UK, I am currently in China for a few months. When changing the brightness up and down, four lines/bars appear on my screen which then grow larger or smaller based on my brightness setting. A handful of others have experienced the same problem too with the S7 Edge (not the standard).
Samsung said I can take it to a service center or send it to them in the UK and they will repair/replace the screen free of charge, but as I'm currently in China, I don't want to be without a phone for a few weeks. I asked the Samsung service center here and they said the screen is different, please can anyone confirm this is the case? I thought the screen was the same, but the internal radio components (frequencies used) differed slightly? I am happy to pay Samsung China the repair cost as it will be considerably easier than sending it back to the UK etc, but can anyone confirm the edge screen is identical?

It's not just the internal radios: the Chinese version is the only other version of the S7 Edge that uses a Snapdragon 820 other than the US variants. And there are more differences between the SM-G9350/U/A/P/T/V/... (SD) and SM-G935F (Exynos) than we might know, and Samsung certainly understands quite a lot about their own product, so I'd advise you listen. (for example of small differences between the two that impacts other parts of the phone) the SD820 variant lacks a separate DAC and utilizes the 820's internal DAC, while the E8890 version has a Wolfson DAC.
Likely the difference is going to be the chipset (Snapdragon Vs Qualcom) however I cant say for sure if the internals are all in the same places for the S7 Edge Global Varients.
Might be worth posting in the S7 Edge forum to see if they are aware of anything?
Sorry I didn't realize there was an S7 Edge forum, could a moderator move this thread to there?
Good point, there are quite a lot of differences it seems.
Do you know if I bought a phone like the S7 Edge from Hong Kong, is it fully compatible in the UK? Would it be the 935F variant? I can't seem to find what variants are sold around the world and I know like America and China uses different frequencies for LTE, but saying that, I have the 935F and I'm picking up LTE fine in China.
Hey, I have bought a samsung galaxy s8+ (SM-G955F) in the netherlands.
I want to get a Gear VR for it, but im not sure which one i should get because i don't know if it will fit inside
Does anyone know?

Hi,
I bought the 2016 gear vr sm-r323 model.
On the box it's for the s7, s7 edge, s6 etc.....
I paid £45 from amazon which is very cheap.
I have the s8+ and it fits in the gap fine, there is however a slight rise on the top end of the phone which falls into the adjustable end by only 1mm.
Using the vr I haven't noticed any issues no light gaps etc...
I'm currently waiting for my motion controller to arrive from mobilefun which was £50.
I do have pics but can't post any yet.
Looking around there is the vr bundle which has the sm-r324 version of the gear vr but this might be a newer wider version so there isn't that 1mm rise or just the same n different model no as its the bundle version.
I'm trying to find a comparison between the 2 using the s8+.
Thanks
I have a blurry spot on my screen, a Samsung S8+ G955FD (dual sim). I can only seem to find replacements for G955, G955F, which from what I gather are single sim phone parts. Will that still fit with no problems?
If not does anyone know where I can purchase the correct screen and digitizer from? I will have to have it shipped to my country.
I am planning to do a part replacement for my old Samsung Galaxy S7 -- G930FD.
Does anybody know if the G930F's OLED Display Assembly is the same as G930FD.
If the battery is the same, which I think it is.
Also is the back cover the same.

G930F & G930FD are literally the same device with literally the same everything (except for the FD part obviously), there's tutorials to change single SIM G930F into a dual SIM G930FD, so yes, they are the same.
G930F & G930FD both are the same devices.
