So I want to replace a broken screen on a T-Mobile Galaxy S II (not mine), and my question is...is there a specific type of screen that I should be looking for? Since the shapes of the S2 differ between carriers, would most of the third-party (the "trustworthy" ones) replacement screens fit the original phone?
Also, if anyone's done this already and could point me in a direction towards a seller, it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
If additional information helps, the phone itself works fine. It just looks like it has a cracked screen.
From what I can tell the N7100 (note 2 non-LTE) is physically identical on the outside to the N7105 (Euro-LTE)?
If I am correct in my assumption, it would mean cases, docks, adaptors etc would be completely intrerchangeable?
I searched xda-devs and I've not seen anything which refutes this?
I am hoping to have my N7105 with me in a week's time and am about to order screen protector and bumper or gel case and car dock but want to be totally sure of a good fit especially on a gel case as there's usually not much clearance around holes.
thanks
Paul
yes they are the same device just different firmware.
the n7105 has a different radio module in it to handle different LTE frequencies..
it's not just firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892996
in other phones, for example the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, there are significant differences between the GSM and CDMA versions (ATT and Sprint or Verizon), perhaps because of different antennae arrangements and even different battery sizes.
Anyone can confirm this? The accessories of N7100 fit on N7105?

I can confirm this.
I know this is an old thread but, I was thinking of changing my housing from white to gun metal grey. The only official grey ones were the n7105. I can get a genuine n7105 full housing which even includes the antennas etc.
I was wondering if it will fit my n7100 and (this might be far fetched) if it would give me 4G?
And s4
I bought my note 2 from someone and it comes with a Spigen neo hybrid case that's labeled for S4(on its package) but it fits .
So if I understand correctly, I can put N7100 screen into N7105?

Hi,
How far did you get with this? I am wanting to do the same. I have N7105 with cracked screen and N7100 perfectly immaculate. So would the N7100 screen fit into the housing of the N7105 and be fully operational...?
Hi, sorry, but I can't tell anything about that variant, because I only was looking to buy N7100 or N7105 with cracked screen, my motherboard is dead (power ic). But if you have both phones at home, you can try to do that, if it not work properly you can change it back any time

I think it should be the same? I just finished tearing down my device and using a video of a N7100 teardown as a guide and it's more or less the same. With some very minor differences.

Yes, it working perfectly, you can change that, but together I change and charging port.
Hi, I'm with a similiar case. Just to make sure, and as far as I understood, screen of N7105 is compatible with n7100, correct?

I managed to mess up the EFS partition on my N7100 and after spending too much time trying to look into that I bought a cheap N7105 with a cracked display.
Then I replaced the the N7100 motherboard+charging port with the N7105 motherboard+charging port and the exchange worked great - so (many of) the parts are indeed interchangeable.

Good to hear this. I have a N7100 that does not turn on any more (probably motherboard failure). I was thinking about ordering a new (used) board from N7105 (to also upgrade it to LTE). If I understand correctly you didn't have a problem with putting a N7105 MB into a N7100. Is the board with charging port required to fit everything together or just optional? All works correctly with the new LTE range? Is it worth the trouble? I was also thinking about ordering an loudspeaker with antenna (they go together) to be sure about the cellar signal. Any tips / suggestions are welcome.
The charging port/external antenna is connected to the motherboard with a model specific cable - so a N7105 MB also needs a N7105 port. In theory one might be able to tweak the connection but I don't recommend going that route if a dedicated port is available.
The N7105 MB has improved GPS capabilities over my old N7100, that is a plus and of course 4G. I got mine for apx 40 GBP and needed a second phone so I think it was worth it.
hi, need to know

Please reply anybody who knows about that... Thanks
Hi there, this is my first post here so be kind
My galaxy gti9300 screen is broke and I did a little research over the Internet and there are some questions I still have:
1.Is there any way of spoting a fake screen if I pay someone to replace it for me or if I buy it ove the Internet?
2.Is it necessary to add the loca glue if I only replace the screen?
3.What should be the average price for a genuine lcd screen?
Many thanks
Wrong section.
This the the i747 S3.
And since the hardware are completely different I wouldn't know truthfully how to spot one.
Why not just buy one and pay someone to change it
You're going to pay them either way to replace it + labor so you could probably save some bucks finding your own.

With the blue HTC ONE announced I was thinking about getting just the housing for it and replacing my silver for it. I was doing some research on ebay, and it looks like there are 3 different housing models:
801e
801s
801n
Which one of these is compatible with the Verizon version? Or does it not matter?

I don't know, I saw a tutorial on Youtube and I used to repair phones at Sprint. Seems like it's easy but I'll check out the site to get some more insight on it. Thanks!
This would be really cool man!

Probably not. They never got the Blue S5, so I doubt they'll carry any of Samsung's other color choices.
