Replacement screen. LCD is smaller?! Keep missing onscreen buttons.

Hello everyone.
The LCD of my S3 was broken so I ordered a replacement screen on eBay.
It arrived and I replaced it without incident. (It was an LCD + Frame + digitizer assembly)
But after a couple hours I noticed that the LCD is a couple of millimeters smaller on each side.
It is really not noticeable on first sight. The first days I dismissed it because it was something that didn't bug me too much.
But I noticed that I keep mistyping when I'm using the keyboard. Also I keep missing other onscreen buttons and it drives me insane!
I think this is because the digitizer is made for a larger LCD.
First I thought that it was a software problem, but you can see the borders even when the display is off.
I tried taking a picture and you can definitely see it on the left and the bottom border.

Should I ask for an RMA? Or am I seeing ghosts here??
Love to hear your thoughts.

That s not an SAMSUNG OEM LCD Display.. Look at capacitive buttons color...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app

If you look at the spacing the Samsung logo at both the top and bottom, there is an extra bit of space and as you rightly said, the bezels on the sides are a bit thicker. If it gives you peace of mind, then go for the RMA, but chances are you might end up getting the same thing. Maybe you could try a different seller? Where did you purchase it from?

Yeah probably not
The capacitive buttons are the normal white color. In the picture they are not on.

Is there a seller you recommend?
I guess I'm just going to keep using it and wait for the next gen smartphones.
Thanks for the info!

Touch function Not working
Hi,
I am using Galaxy S3 Korean Version (SHV-E210L).
I have tried TraingleAway V2.35 to reset flash counter. But it did not reset flash counter, but damaged touch function. Now my phone display is working, but touch function is not working. I am using OTG cable with Mouse for urgent works.
I have two things which i need answer. Can some one help me.. ::crying:
1. Before i fix this, i need to reset flash counter anyway. But latest versions of TraingleAway are not working for this model and Previous versions from V2.35 is also give massge stating "Are you not using ICS". Phone has Android 4.3. So can some one give me a solution?
2. I want to fix touch problem and i search for digitizer in Ebay. But there are digitizers for GT-I9300, but not for SHV-E210L? Is digitizer for 9300is compatible for SHV-E210L? Further waht is screen lens means? Is it digitizer?
Thanks a lot

Hi, that's about the price I paid for supposedly genuine (but not) screens on ebay for my S3, my buttons are also not white as mentioned above.
The first screen I fitted went faulty after about an hour, took a while to get a refund, I had to pay postage back.
Second screen cracked after a very small drop, digitiser was OK, bought replacement screen but when changing it (with heat, etc) the digitiser separated from its backing rather than the screen.... maybe me being ham fisted but I think it was a different bonding used
Third screen/digitiser assembly now has a crack running right across it, and I've not ever dropped it! It still works so I'm leaving it alone and buying a new phone this time.
Also I find the paint comes off the frame very easily by taking it out of a hard case or screen mount and mine looks a mess after a couple of months, and the frame joint is obvious and creaks when pressed.
So these screen aren't very good - but I couldn't find a definitely genuine screen for a price that was worth bothering to fix the phone.... I would definitely get a tempered glass protector if I did fit another of these.....

My P9 EVA-L19 Glass LCD Broken

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.

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...

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.

There are many instructions at youtube. But I used the 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 also looked into this one but i saw several reviews about dead pixels so i discarded it.
Anyone who bought any screen, share your experience please!!!

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...

Replacement Parts

If and when anyone replace any parts on this phone, like a screen, digitizer, frame or just anything, please share your experience here, thanks!

As I understand it, the original water resistance won't be relevant after tear-apart. Some impervious will be lost. The disassembly is more involved than most, in the past. I, myself, may be looking at getting a better phone via trade-in. Gone are the days, for the most part, of servicing the phone for a battery, to keep things going. I'll still monitor the posts about the phone, but things have gotten to where 'root' isn't much of a benefit anymore.

I'm in the process of getting a new screen, a frame and a battery. Right now the cost for the screen, digitizer and frame is around $175. Batter $7. There's pretty good instructions out there, so shouldn't be a problem.

Didn't you start this thread to share info when sourcing replacement parts?
Where are you sourcing the screen, frame and battery you mention in your post?

This is what I'm looking at right now. Been looking around a lot and those two seams OK and I'm going to wait for the price (screen) to drop a bit more. It was $150 a month ago.

Beware 'cheap' prices! Potential bad fit/poor adhesion. If they have a good return policy, go for it, otherwise, next company.

If the image under the glass is broken and the touch panel is NOT then you only need an LCD.
If the top touch panel or (glass top) is cracked or broken but the image under it is fine then you only need the Touch Panel (relatively cheap).
If the top touch panel is broken and the lcd image is either black liquid or cracked you need a complete screen.
To be honest it's probably easier to get the combined parts to avoid having to separate LCD from digitizer and risk a failure. Since the digitizer is fused to the LCD you would need some special tools to remove the digitizer to ensure success. Separating the assembly with heatguns, etc. isn't that easy.
My advice: invest in replacing the complete assembly to ensure success.

Positively surprised
The Akcoo "doomglass" fits perfectly and I struggle really hard to even see my cracked screen underneath. Remember, this was $3.50 on Aliexpress! Will still go for a new screen later though. I'll keep you posted regarding the quality of the screen protector...

Nice! These protectors with the UV glue are the only ones that work good on curved screens, had one on my V30, but now need it for my V40. The source I was going to use is currently away for Chinese New Years.. May I ask how long it took to ship to you?
Thanks

3 weeks, hehe... Might have been a boat ride. Don't mind really for that price

Screen price is down to $121 now, but I'll wait a bit longer

Old thread but you can find demo models on eBay for around $70. Just use the original charge port flex. Then you get the cameras and a new (used) battery too
