Spare part Displays without anti shatter film (ASF)? - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
a few weeks ago, I received a spare part as my display cracked and I wanted to exchange it myself. I ordered it in the UK via eBay.
As the display arrived, everything was okay - it looks the same as the original one, it is just as bright and brilliant.
But one thing confuses me. The anti shatter film that is usually part of the display unit is not there.
The dealer told me that there are no ASFs on the displays.
So far, there is no scratch on the screen and everything else is still okay. Except this detail.
Can anyone confirm this or is the display a fake one?
Thanks in advance!

What should the picture show? The display is now glued to my device and the difference is not really visible.
Usually, you can use your fingernail and feel the ASF at the edges of the glass as the film does not cover the glass completely (maybe half a millimeter is uncovered). This is not possible on my device as there is no ASF.

Do you have a Sony logo on the new display? On my phone this logo was on the ASF, not on the display itself.

Yes, the logo is on the display. On my old display it was on the ASF, too.
I thought I could remove the ASF again to get that clean look, but no.

That's sounds good... Because the Sony logo is printed in the glass... Could you post the link of the spare part?

It seems to me that most of the displays sold on eBay are fake ones as mine. Yesterday, I got another one from another seller in Germany. Same thing. You are right, it is a good idea to print the Sony logo directly on the glass.
After a few weeks with the fake display, I cannot recommend it for the following reasons:
When the display gets dirty or wet, you get crazy input immediately. I have to switch off and clean the display when my device starts to do stuff without me. Absolutely annoying.
Another detail that I noticed during my vacation is that the fake display is not usable in landscape mode when you use polarized sunglasses. The original display has no problem here.
The Sony logo is also printed a bit thicker than on the original.
Well, I got no answer from the German seller so far for my accusation that the display is fake.
And as nobody answered that he got a display without an ASF, I assume that only fake displays do not have it.

My P9 EVA-L19 Glass LCD Broken
Hi
Unfortunately, my P9 EVA-L19 fall down and its glass LCD broken .
I purchased a replacement and I hope it works as original one.
http://www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-with-digitizer-for-huawei-p9-gold
Good to know...
Cool story.
I have received the LCD replacement and I also installed it by my self.
So far so good
but I compare the new LCD with my friend P9 and I found there is slight difference in color.
but it is good for me.
Good congratulations
I bought an replacement lcd assy from germany.. after cursing with the replacement (mostly with the battery) i powered up the phone and noticed that swiping home screens worked only 1 time in 10..
Checked with the debug tools that touch location works perfectly.. but touch point size shows always zero, and the actual touch point size is displayed in the pressure
Can anything be done with the means of software, or is this gonna be a bad ebay review?
Sigh. What is wrong with these people. TEST BEFORE INSTALL. So you can send it back to warranty without issues and not leave a bad eBay review for a defective screen.
..
yes you have to TEST BEFORE INSTALL
I recommend this replacent so far
I had my screen broken last night, how's the A+++ screen replacements quality compared to factory one (JDI)?, in terms of responsiveness, quality, deep blacks, brightness. color calibration, etc, I'm very upset and worried about this and the fact that I may end up with something not on par in terms of quality...

I bought the LCD the OEM here, work and looks great. Don't know how to tell if it's OEM but everything seems as good as original. I also compared with other P9 and couldn't tell that mine was replaced.
I also bought a OEM battery to fix the suddenly shutting down problem at less than 50% charge, mainly when using camera. Seems fixed.

Hopefully one of you can help me
I currently have two huawei p9, wife's and sister in-laws, my wife is on her second screen already and needs to be replaced again.
The screens I found, cheap ones on eBay (lltrader I think) they don't look too bad at all.
First screen I replaced on my wife's was awful and the glue melted and the glass seperate and cracked within a week.
The second was from the seller I mentioned above, but she is a clumbsy woman.
So for this third one I am looking for for a glass screen protector, the problem is the replacement screens don't have the curved edges. So all the screen protectors for the position are too small or are designed to fit the curved edges...
Do any of you know a phone with very similar dimensions that I could try a screen protector from. I am sick of replacing screens now...

[Survey] How many of you have experienced the screen peeling problem?

Hi everyone,
I am seriously considering buying the Moto Z2 Force as a replacement of my old Moto X 2014 (I still love it but my screen got a bit shattered one year ago:crying.
The only thing that is holding me back is that screen peeling problem I heard of. So, after reading some threads I would like to see how spread the problem is by proposing you this survey.
In case you had the issue, it would be very useful for me to know how you solved (got a replacement, removed the shutterproof screen protector, ...?)
Thanks a lot!
Here I am, replying to my own survey!
Unfortunately, not as I would like to...
I bought it and on day 2 I noticed this issue https://youtu.be/KfEjQWtvckQ which is how everything starts I suppose...?? So, I think this will be a "In the first month case".
Now I have to think of what to do:
Keep it and wait for it... (what then?!)
Send it back to seller asking for a refund => Buy another model, other brand (It would be really sad though)
Send it back to seller asking for a change with another one (what if the new one will have the same issue?)
Removing somehow the screen protector and the glue (any tutorials? Will it void the warranty?)
Any suggestion is much appreciated
Thanks a lot
I knot sure what that video was suppose to show. But to me it showed nothing of importance.. I have had my z2 Force for about 2 months with no issues.. Use a screen protector or a case with one, and you should have zero issues.

The video is supposed to show a problem with the shattershield screen where the outer screen protector lense is detached from the inner layer.
Some people on Lenovo forums reported screen peeling issue after experiencing something like the video shows.
On the same forum, some other people claim they had a screen protector on when the peeling started.
Anyway, I contacted Motorola Support and they:
Confirmed that if you remove the outer layer, the warranty is permanently voided for the whole phone... Not good
Suggested me to refer to the seller for a substitution since I am in the first two weeks after buying the phone
Still deciding what to do...
I tried the tempered glass screen protector I ordered.
It doesn't adhere correctly on the top of the screen but especially on the bottom, near the fingerprint scanner.
So, the screen is not perfectly flat.

I purchased a Otter Box Defender, and that might be why I have no issues.. On my G5 Plus I had a Otter Box commuter and a screen protector and they worked well as well.. If your nervous about that pone, best bet might be to replace with a different model.. I sure as hell would. Good luck.

Have the same issue and can hear that. But it seems to be normal. I can push in the screen a little bit. I think it's not the original foil of the top, which is pelling. I think it's hearable because it's plastic and elastic. I can see (by screen on) that's not the foil while I'm pressing the screen in. It's more the complete screen. Would it be the foil, I wouldn't see what I see by pushing in the screen. Plastic is easly elastic. That's all.
Here is an update.
Yesterday I received the other plastic screen protector I ordered.
It fits perfectly, since it's not as rigid as glass.
Since many of you have the same "clicking" noise while pressing the screen, I think I will try to use it in the next days to see how it goes. I have some weeks to think about keeping it or sending it back to the seller.
Hope everything will be ok, I'll keep you updated

It's not the foil, right? That's the plastic which is"clicking". I'm short-sighted and I'm pretty sure that I can see that's just elastic at the bottom. Looks so that the foil is ok and 100% save on the screen. But it's nice to have a elastic screen :laugh: No scratches after month. So, don't need a screen protector. The quality seems good. It's like wings of a airplane. Elastic, too And there is all ok, too. Normally

I am not sure it's the foil or not... However, I don't think is the screen which is moving, that's probably more a refraction effect. We should ask to those that removed the protection layer, if they where experiencing this and after the removal it stopped.
Foil or not, if the "clicking" sound is so common even in devices without peeling issues, I will give it a try.
I just need to use it, only time will say if it was a good idea to keep it :fingers-crossed:

Screen is moving down at the bottom, for me it's 100% so. And if I do it carefully, I can see it without hearing it. But yes, would be nice if anyone can test it without the foil. But, I can trust what I see, all real. So, it's the plastic. Hope anyone else can confirm this.
Another problem, what I have seen. I have burn in at the bottom. The navigation buttons keeps/burn in. Now I have set up the moto fingerprint navigation and it should gone next time. And that's really good. Works very well. And the space of the screen is now bigger, nice effect.
But, good to know with the burn in. This smartphones are made for a short time, maybe 2 years. On my computer monitor I have never seen burn ins like that. So, it's a market/business. Screen not made for working over years
And what really is very very good is the battery. Have last time good 8.5-9h sot. So, that's better than many people think.
But back to the screen. That's the topic here. Maybe we have to bring it to the repair center after 1.5 years. Maybe because burn ins, peeling and so on. We will see
If you guys do the warranty replacement through Motorola and not your carrier they will send you a new moto z2 force with a 2nd gen screen if you ask em about it. They have a fix for it lol I just got mine back and it's totally different

Ok, maybe I have a newer one. Here no scratches after months. Foil ok. Just the clicker at pushing. You don't hear that on your device? Which versions are 2. generation, after which produce date?

What am I supposed to be hearing on my device lol? And idk I just personally call it a 2nd gen screen cause it's easier to explain it like that to the people that I live around in my area ??there not to bright lol. I do know it's not the original shatter screen stuff that was peeling. it honestly was pretty hard for me to understand what my moto agent was saying to me when he explained it so I only caught bits and pieces. My model number is still xt1789-04 TMobile variant. I don't have a clicker also

Hi, I bought 3 different OPO screen replacements at Aliexpress. As you said, the quality is so different. The first one was simply very pale and dark, the second one is the screen itself is OK, but touch screen and cable was so fragile. Te last one is completely fine. This is not the original, but if you just use it, you don't see the difference.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/One...l-With-Frame-Replacement-For/32449686228.html
They offer the screen with and without the frame. ( Some said with the frame is easier for the beginner) I myself bought a screen without the frame. then you may need a double side tape (2mm) like below.

You may have already replaced yours, but as other poster said, quality is a crap shot sometimes.
First one I bought from Amazon. Great packaging and looked great, but frame was 1mm to wide, so volume buttons were permanently depressed (so each reboot went to recovery). Returned that one.
Bought another from eBay here, frame is PERFECT size. Screen has a slightly blue hue, but not noticeable really. No tools come with this one, so you need a pry tool and screw drivers.
Word of caution, the internal antenna can break very easily if you are not VERY careful when disassembling. Additional antennas are here. I recommend getting a couple.
Hi! I need a replacement screen as well, because a stripe in the middle of mine stopped working.
After tons of research on Aliexpress i don't know which one to decide between these 2:
1) https://it.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...ml?spm=a2g0o.cart.99999999.259.30453c00U4QgqW
This one costs almost twice the others, but i contacted the seller and he said it's an original one (don't know how much i can trust him).
2) https://it.aliexpress.com/item/Tras...ml?spm=a2g0o.cart.99999999.259.30453c008Kl1tr
This one has same price as most of the other screens and has lots of good reviews, but i know it must be a clone.

I have attached screen samples. OPO original, low quality and good quality replacement from Aliexpress. I don't think that you will get the origianl OEM screen replacement from Aliexpress.
It seems that Replacebase (UK supplier) sells the OEM (original) screen replacement for OPO. I haven't tested this screen, but their OPO red battery is really great. (See XDA forum discussion)

Pixel 2 XL screen repair (HELP!)

Hi all. I've had un unfortunate phone drop last night, resulting in the glass of the screen broken in the lower left corner. The screen is displaying perfect and so the digitizer. I've seen some sellers on amazon selling the glass only with no digitizer nor display. Can anyone let me know if this can be changed (glass of the screen only), and if so, any tutorials or videos to do so?
I really dont want to spend more than $100 on a new screen...
I hope someone helps! Thanks!!! Cheers.

I dropped my Pixel 2 XL in November, also only the glass was broken.
But I paid €180 for the glass plus screen, because the screen is razor-thin and glued to the glass. As far as I know, the glass isn't sold separately, at least not as original from Google.
And believe me, the glass is very thin, but the screen is even thinner. So before buying a third-party-glass, I would check how to get the screen off the glass and back again.
I've been looking for some videos about this, and it looks really complicated to separate the glass from the screen, but possible. Some guys apply extreme cold or heat to unglue the screen, then they clean up ALL the screen, and then they reapply something to stick it to the new glass (I don't know what they use). So balancing the hard work to do this, I'm starting to think it will be a better option to change the whole screen. Do anyone knows if new purchased genuine screens comes with the blue problem solved? Any good place to purchase a genuine one within USA?
Thanks for the answers and help...

Question Protective sticker on the camera "visor"?

Hey, good people,
Did your Pixel 6 Pro have a sticker on the camera when taken out of the box? I think I may have received a returned unit, mine didn't have one.
Mine had neither a screen protector on the screen or camera.

Parts shortages, part spec change, sloppy production line/QC practices... who knows?
Not a critical item.
If it you could correlate that to a manufactured date/plant that might be interesting.
Inspect closely for any physical damage.
Charge to 100% Boot.
Use ScreenTest to check the display. Test cam, internet/phone, bt, wifi, and basic features.

Not sure what you call a screen protector. Pixels never had screen "protectors", the most recent Pixel 6 just had a piece of paper loosely layed on the screen that you were able to easily pull off.

I had no sticker on the camera. It's possible that it was returned, but it's also just possible that the human that assemblied the phone forgot to remove the sticker. If you remember the leaked assembly videos, almost the entire assembly is done by humans by hand, so mistakes wouldn't surprise me.
they dont come with any. Just the paper bit on the screen.

There's no screen protection when you open the box. There's just a paper covering the screen. I would suggest to watch one of the unboxing videos and verify if that's what you got.
Mine had clear plastic stickers over all glass surfaces. Probably what people are referring to as "protectors". They do indeed protect from dings and scratches during shipping.
