Don't know yet, it's on its way. They have extremely good feedback sooooo I have good hopes. I'm probably going to do a step by step when I replace it. Stay tuned

How does that seller get the screens? If it's from the same factory that manufactured the official screens, then there's still a possibility you'd get a defective one.

Would it be cheaper/easier/more reliable to just buy a scrap phone for parts instead of just a manufacturer replacement screen? That way you're at least assured the screen worked on its original device, plus you have all the extra hardware as well. I've done this with my old iPhone 4 and it worked like a charm and only cost me $80 from craigslist.

Try buying someones brick for a couple hundred ( or if you can get a blacklisted one cheap ). Spare parts are ALWAYS good to have around.

Hello,
Did you purchase your replacement finally?
I have seen some offers on ebay but I am not sure if they are Superamoled screens.
I have also been told to call Samsung directly at 1-877-EZ2GALAXY (1-877-392-4252), Mon-Fri: 7 AM - 9 PM (CST), Sat: 9 AM - 6 PM (CST).
I will call Samsung tomorrow monday.

If it is a new screen, why can it have lines or blotches?

And that's how you get the lines and blotches on your new screen! It's a slim chance, especially since the screen problem has been brought to the public's attention, but still a chance. There are probably CRATES of old, potentially flawed screens out there that have yet to be sold.

[Q] Looking to buy a FFC for my vibrant

Anybody selling these? All of the ones I've seen so far seem to have been claimed already
If not, where's the best place to get one? I'd like to get in within the next two weeks since I'm going on vacation, but I can't wait if needed
I know E-Bay has them and possibly other stores onlines, but not sure if they can get it to you within 2 weeks, but you could try
I just looked on Ebay. All of them seem to be shipping from Hong Kong and wont get here until April
http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog
Look under products section...
He also has a great video tutorial
on how to install the ffc

I bought one from Josh, super fast shipping.
Actually he was just putting "out of stock" on the revision 1 cameras when I placed the order.
He sent me the revision 2 cameras which do not have the binding issues coming with rev 1.
I installed it in my Vibrant and it works great!
Definitely recommend it!
You can find on mobiletechvideos.com
Thanks guys. I just placed an order for the FFC
I'm super excited!
Thanks again
you can get them from Globaldirectparts.com
For the time being...is Axura the only rom that works with this? That's what his video said anyway...I'd love to use it with Trigger.

They are cheaper because they come from Hong Kong, and it takes about 3-4wks for delivery. So your paying almost double to have it in a few days.

Definitly go with Josh at MobileTech videos. If you go through anyone else you may have to buy in bulk and wait up to a week. I ordered mine on Monday and received it Wednesday. If you're scared to install it then he can do it for you (for an extra fee of course). Can't get that through ebay or anywhere else.

New shell?

Well I have just dropped my phone thanks to some sh** new gloves. Have been searching for a case also but no where has one.
Can I get a new shell for this? What r my options......?

Ouch. I have a case on the way, don't even plan on using my phone until that thing arrives.
The bad news is that you may have to stomach that for a while, but Amazon has some nice cheap cases for it to cover it up. After a month or two, maybe more maybe less, there will be OEM parts you can just buy. If it's anything like the GS2 replacing the housing isn't that hard.
D'oh that's annoying, but I was expecting much worse to be honest. Get an opaque case and you'll never see it again.
Cheers people. I have calmed down now a bit, but its so frustrating!!!!
Feels like a incomplete device now....
It be OK in the long run tho, I'll change it and it be new again!

Wait, so the shell contains the camera lens assembly (i.e. in case I scratch my camera lens)? I'm not saying the whole camera, just the lens cover.
That's a surprisingly low price if so...
How do these Asian sellers get this stuff? Do they know a guy who knows a guy who works at the Korean assembly plant or something?

Be careful about buying a cheaper display from some 3rd party store that ships out of Hong Kong. It might end up being a low end LCD instead of the replacement AMOLED. I bought mine off ebay for 220 shipped. I'd rather pay a little more than end up with a crappy display. At that point minas well just throw it away.

The phone retails for $600 (for the 16gb version). The display is 50% of the phone. $240 is not highway robbery if you break it down. I'll admit, as I've had to replace mine, that if FEELS like highway robbery but your buying one of the more essential parts of the Phone. You can do without the wifi, the bluetooth, headphone jack, speaker phone, maybe a button or 2. But you HAVE to have the high end display.

Yes I understand that most parts are made in China. I simply mean that parts from China can also be the other end of the spectrum, low end. You have to be careful who you buy from. Make sure it's a reputable company selling genuin parts. Buying through Ebay give's buyers protection from fake products. Buying from Tmart does not.
And, yes, there are low end crap replacement screens out there. When my son decided to "test" his 3GS otterbox with his other friend and the display quit working once the phone hit the ground I opted for a cheap replacement. He really didn't care as long as it still worked, plus he's lucky I fixed it at all and didn't give him my 7 year old moto flip as punishment. That display came from a Hong-Kong retailer, but I knew what I was buying from them.

PSA: Possible recall of S4's

Reposted from the AT&T S4 forum:
dkirchik said:
I just found out at work while on a Samsung technician training the galaxy as 4's are possibly going to be recalled. The frame of the phone is to weak and flex's easy resulting in the screen cracking down the middle. Samsung is determining how many they've sold and what the cost would be. Depending on the cost they'd either issue a recall or replace the phone when it breaks for that reason.
Just letting the community know.

What ever happened to quality assurance testing?! Wouldn't expect this from a company as big as Samsung. Unacceptable.
If this is true, the only solution should be a recall which allows for a brand new phone. What does it mean to fix it when it happens? Send the phone into them and wait a week for them to refurbish the phone? Their mistake, they should take the short end of the stick.

Sounds like a load of TROLL crap from whoever originally posted it.
yea don't the robot butt jeans sit on these phones?
Someone on the att thread made a good point. It wont be recalled because its not safety related, just build quality related. So most likely whats gonna happen is that they will send you a new phone (or refubished more likely) to replace your damaged one.

I don't believe this either but i'm curious to find out if it's true. my screen developed a hairline crack across the middle within a week. never dropped it, never sat on it, never squeezed it, nothing. and Tmobile has been giving me hell because they say it's accidental damage and there's nothing they can do. if i want it fixed i'll have to pay.
Ooh fun thread. Wait, let me get my shovel...
How strong would a plastic frame be anyhow? I like plastic phones because they're lite. But they're not bomb proof. Nevertheless, I trust Samsung would know by now how to make a plastic phone.
Btw, did anyone see the MKBHD vid when he flexes the S4 next to the microphone? I don't think the screen cracked.
that's my concern as well. They made the phone both thinner AND lighter, but i think they overdid it. There's no need for the phone to be this thin. Not when you sacrifice durability to achieve it. when the phone is this thin, and the chassis is made of soft plastic, the screen becomes the most rigid part of the device. and screen with class that's about as thick as a sheet of paper. and to answer your question, no, samsung DOES NOT know how to make a plastic phone. For that, see any modern Lumia phone by NOKIA...
Lets hope that doesn't happen

I wonder how u can even think that can happen.
Recalling 10 millions phone is possible at all.

I thought the pre-order numbers for this phone was massive, way more than S3. No way they would recall a gazillion phones.

I agree with you. It will be terrible for samsung.
Generally, electronics only get recalled for major safety issues. There is the possibility of a warranty extension, but unless S4s start bursting into flames or giving people cancer there will never be a recall.
