I destroyed my screen on my I747 about a month and a half ago, and I need to replace the glass, digitizer, and LCD. My question is simple: Will the parts from a different carrier work on different phones?
For example, if I was to buy the assembled frame with complete screen from a Sprint Galaxy S3, the L710, would it match up with my AT&T I747? I would understand if the I9300 parts wouldn't match up, since I would expect it to have a different mainboard, but I'm hoping all of the US versions are the same.
the t999 and the i747 are the same cuz thats what i did. got a broken att phone off ebay and used the tmobile t999 screen assembly

And I was asking about the L710.

Just like the title says.....I am looking at a replacement LCD for my wife's tmobile galaxy phone but I only find the Sprint one cheap. Are these interchangeable?

my cousin has the sprint one and they look 100 percent identical, form factor wise. Only question is the plug inside the device at the same spot on both devices? Try and look at a break down /disassembly of bothers variants to see what's inside

Well i'm fairly certain the LCD itself is interchangeable, the board is not. Switching the cases from a T-mobile to Sprint will not work, as the boards are constructed slightly differently on the top and bottom. the T-Mobile will not fit correctly in the back of the Sprint case, I (sadly) know from experience. :/
My Screen cracked on 10/11/12 and I want to get it replaced for Christmas.. But all I see out there is i9300 parts??? Will these parts work with the SGS3 on AT&T (i747)

Just the glass? or both? If both, I9300 parts won't work... It's all kitted together...

I know someone has tried the Sprint S3 Screen assembly (didn't fit due to lack of SIM card slot), but however did anyone try the Verizon or U.S Cellular S3 Screen Assembly (due to the fact they have SIM slots)? My LED screen is cracked on mine. I was just trying to see if maybe if these 2 phones can interchange screens with each other. I have pics of both of them, and they look pretty similar. I am trying to find the USC S3's digitizer assembly now

EDIT: Just found the USC S3 Assembly:
Tell me what you guys think
so my first S3 LCD screen cracked and i went out and bought a used S3 off CL (i even called sprint and they said it had a clean ESN) i get home to activate it and then won't because the guy called and reported it lost.well what i am wondering is can i just remove the motherboard from my old s3 with the cracked screen and swap it with the bad ESN phone? would i have to also swap out the radio as well or just the motherboard?

Yup it should work fine. I have done it before with a few phones including a s3. Just Google "taking apart a s3" and you'll find video guides on it.
It may seem difficult but it really is a easy thing to do.

Hi everyone! I have a quick question. In the process of trying to replace the broken screen on my S3, I ended up breaking the LCD/Digitizer -.-
I was on the hunt for a replacement i747 so I could switch out the motherboards, but on Ebay, I saw a listing of a Sprint phone that had the i747 motherboard inside of it. So my question is, could I place my motherboard inside any of the S3 variants and it will work? I know it will work with T-Mobile, but what about Sprint, Verizon, etc? Thanks :3
Nope. It won't fit.
The sprint version lacks a Sim tray so that's One incompatibility
Thanks for the answers! I'm guessing the phone I saw actually just had the Sprint LCD in the i747 housing. Or something like that. Either way, I just decided to buy another cheap i747 and switch out the boards. Thanks again
