i have tab s4 t835.
accidentally tab slipped from hand and hit floor from about 2 or 2.5 feet height. nothing happens but there is grey whitish blurred area created on glass shown on picture attached. s pen ..touch image all working good on it.. as screen turn ON this greyish area almost non visible.
can someone help me what is this and how i remove this from screen or glass..?
This looks like you damaged the lcd screen when you dropped it. I don't think it is anything you can "remove" short of replacing the screen. Which, for Samsung, is usually pricy.
but the screen works good at that portion even s pen works fine..
That doesn't mean that liquid crystal matrix under the glass isn't damaged. The display has multiple layers, and you can damage one without breaking the others. The problem with Samsung is that they laminate the layers in such a way that you really have to replace the entire front assembly to fix a broken screen. This looks like a damaged lcd to me. There is probably a screen repair shop near you that could evaluate it.
u r right ... i must get it check from repair shop or samsung and see what tthey say... but im also thinking now i will use it as it is as it didnt cause any hinderance to me
That's the thing about damaged screens. You usually can still use them fine. With Samsung, I'm guessing the repair will be in the $300 rang. Which is 50% of a new device. And probably 100% of the current eBay identicle unit replacement cost. It is crazy how quickly the value drops out of these tablets. After two years and the emergence of the Tab S3 and Tab S4, trade-in eBay sale value for my Tab S2 dropped from $650 to $120.
Let me know if the techs that look at your tab agree with me. If I'm wrong, I'll buy you a beer next time you're in Lubbock.

yep,
Looks like damage to one of the inner layers in the screen sandwich. Fortunately along the edge and not in the middle of the screen. It could just be 2 layers pulled apart because of the hit, but I don't know of any way to repair aside from a complete screen replacement.
Does that part of the screen still light up, or are there dead pixels?

I have searched high and low for an answer on how to replace a scratched screen of the SGS2 by yourself and have finally found the answer.
This will definitely VOID YOUR WARRANTY so don't say you haven't been warned.
I suggest you only use this guide if you were desperate like me. My phone didn't come with an official warranty so I was as good as screwed if I wanted a new screen.
Step 1: Obtain the part
Just ebay for lcd screen and digitizer galaxy s2 (however u may wish to buy it with the faceplate see below note). You want both the super amoled plus screen and the digitizer together. You can get this for about 120-130 USD.
There are some vendors that sell just the 'lens' but you need a specialized machine to replace it and is simply not worth the trouble.
Note that if you go to an original Samsung service centre, when they order the part, it comes together with the face plate and is therefore a breeze to install. This part is for sale on Ebay too. http://cgi.ebay.com/LCD-Touch-Digit...312?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a682b9ad0. I would recommend you to buy this type instead of just the LCD and digitizer.
Follow this disassembly guide (not mine).
Now using a thin metal flat tool with a wide flat surface area, dig at the small gap from the top of the screen and pry the screen from the frontplate. It is held entirely by double-tape so don't worry about any screws, catches. Be careful of not damaging the bezel in the process.
Clean off the old black tape and double tape as best as u can, and be careful of the bottom buttons. The attachment shows how it looks like after cleaning it.
Reapply the double tape in strips and try to shape it to fit as much as you can. This is tiresome but necessary since the adhesive behind the lcd screen is very weak and you don't your screen falling out of you halfway.
Push it in and it should stick. That's it! Then reassemble.
Confirmed working!
thanks for the write up, do you have any more photos of your process?
OMG, it's like watching an autopsy.
Could a better resolution screen or even 3d screen be used/upgraded later on?
Nice to know for something happens, Hope not
Hope wont be necessary. How did you scratch the screen so hard that it had to be changed? I tought the Gorilla Glass is almost unscratchable.
Man,,u shud handle it a bit gently ,,,,i mean,i flinched every time u "threw" the phone on the table.
On second thought, I might as well buy that screen protector

Unfortunately not at this time. I will do it the next time around (which will be soon as there is a slight imperfection with my button sensitivity so I might be inclined to try it again) but trust me it's not a beautiful process. Needs lots of guts. Nothing technical about it. Shove the flat tool in the gap and keep on loosening the glue as much as u can then take it off.

It's more like cracked. I dropped it on some rocks from waist height and it cracked. It seems that gorilla glass is not shatter proof. There are also some scratches/mini cracks from where the rocks cut it.
Lesson learnt, get a screen protector that hopefully will reinforce it a bit more.
I wonder how these replacement parts compare to the quality of the original parts.
Is your new screen a Super AMOLED+ screen? all ebay listing just says LCD. Is it original Samsung part?

There some listed as Super AMOLED+ screen just search on ebay or even drop the sellers a question about their iteams.
It is a Super Amoled + screen (don't see any difference in quality between the old and new one). Most sellers don't really know much of their products unfortunately but they do say it's original and I do believe mine is.
There's no Samsung print on the front plate but it does have a part number which corresponds closely to the original one. Everything else looks exactly the same, even the black sponge at the back and the microchips have Samsung wording on them.

Dropped SGS2 from bikemount : broken screen.
OK,
I broke my screen this weekend. I was on a bike tour with the SGS2 mounted on the steering bar. For some unclear reason, the universal holder came off the bikemount at 25 kmh... Dropped on the paved road, and although still in the universal holder, which is made of soft rubber (which I would expect to break the fall), the screen of my beloved SGS2 was cracked !!! Apart from the cracked screen, everything else seems to work as before.
So, today I ordered a replacement set with bezel from aliexpress.com at 148USD.
When I get the part, I will try to post some pictures of the replacement process.
I had an HD2 before ... just sold it last Friday :-( ... I think over a period of 1,5 year, I dropped the HD2 about 6 times on hard surfaces ... also it fell off my bike once ... the HD2 never broke.
So, is it just bad luck this time, or is the built quality of the SGS2 just not as good as the HD2 ?
Regards,
DirkB

It is very easy to do. Just unclip each component and transplant it to the new case.
I have to do my friends one this weekend as he has dropped it and damaged the screen and the bezel .
I have managed to source the screen and the bezel for him all as one piece .
Now all the guides i have seen just rip the phone to pieces , surely if we have the right bits like i have bought this fix is very smple to do??
I am thinking it is just a case of undoing the 7 screws at the back of the phone , opening it up and then disconnect the screen cables from the mainboard . Does the whole front then come away??
If not i take it i have to undo the screws on the main board to release the screen? but this means the componets of the main board may come loose etc??
Has anyone that has done this got any info on just swapping the screen with the complete part? when i say complete part i mean the one that comes with the bezel and home button etc like this
http://cgi.ebay.com/LCD-Touch-Digit...312?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a682b9ad0
Thanks in adance for any guidance

+1 for me.
I received my screen including bezel.
I've removed the main board just like the guy in the Youtube video.
But now I still have to transfer (from original front to my new front):
- the bottom PCB (where the microUSB sits)
- the camera
- the speaker
etc ...
I can not find a description/movie of how to do this ?
The bottom PCB for example has 2 screws, but after removing them the PCB itself looks like glued to the front assy'.
I prefer to see or get proper instructions before starting the rest of this adventure
...
PS : I got my part from aliexpress.com within 2 weeks (via airmail). It's with the Samsung logo on it and the package included all required tools (screwdrivers) to do the job. Would be nice to see some written instructions included as well.
Grtz,

Well, today was a say day for me, for I dropped my HOX on some concrete and shattered the glass, phone still works and lcd isn't damaged... but I was wondering if theres anyone here who knows a decent repair centers in the UK, i've seen this http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/2511...ixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla&crdt=0 and i'm pretty sure thats all I need... I could even try myself
Perhsps HTC can sell us an original part, we could also ask for s one x+ battery. I don't know how much the one x digitisee and glass replacement would cost. The whole svren inc LCD is 160 IIRC so probably less than 100?
I also.have a damaged screen. My concern is whether the. Parts are really originals as claimed, be cause I'd like a real gorilla glass panel. Also, how do I reconnect the connectors I have to unplug to get the screen . Presumably it's obvious otherwise it would have been mentioned in repair guides.
HTC may repair and sell originals, how much for I don't know.
My LCD appears fine usually, but sometimes there is a yellow tint to some of the screen, presumably related to epoxy glue. Also I was pressing down on the Screen and now one of the cracks appear slightly blue Around the edges, not sure if this will change if I replace.
Finally I saw a story on xdA I think of a guy who Bricked his while trying to replace the screen.

From what I have seen in One X screen replacement videos and read in this and other forums the digitizer is not easily separable from the LCD. So most probably you'll have to replace the whole display assembly (i.e digitizer + LCD screen).
Nope
None of the replacement parts in this thread so far are close to genuine, and will be cheap crap.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320929331645?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
This is what a genuine replacement looks like, and costs. If it's under £100, forget it; it's crap. If it comes as separate parts, it's crap. The One X screen is bonded at the factory across the entire area of the screen - you will never get a good screen if you assemble it yourself, or even if a repair centre does it. You'll get an air gap between the LCD and digitizer, and therefore it will look awful in daylight.

Call up HTC. I've done some research, seems to agree with what is posted above.
I feel your pain.. I have a small crack on the side of my S3 screen. How bad is it? If its smalland on the side check out an overlay Luke by Spectre. They are about 4mm thick and are cut to cover the whole face of the screen

Hello,
I recently dropped my phone resulting in a cracked screen. I had replaced the screen myself. The phone still functions just fine with one minor problem. The glass screen isn't 100% touching the digitizer (at least from what I can tell). There is a gap between the digitizer and the replacement glass. I recall that when I was removing the cracked glass, there was a layer of adhesive I had removed because the glass shards were pretty stuck all over it. So does anyone know how to resolve this problem or where to buy that adhesive so there will be a perfect fit?
I've attached some images. One is at rest and you can probably see the dark circle in the middle of the screen.
The second is when I put some pressure on the screen, the *bubble* gets bigger. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Out of luck....
Unfortunately, you are out of luck. Your only option is to purchase the LCD/Digitizer/Glass preassembled. (Around $250)
The design used by Samsung, I believe weakens the glass on the Galaxy S3. Take for example the iPhone 5 which also utilizes Gorilla Glass 2, it is more durable than the S3.
I would think that people would band together and call for a class action law suite against Samsung to replace all screens free of charge for the first incident, or you can sell the phone and buy a quality phone.:highfive:
Buy a new phone.... note2 :thumbup:

The Note2 is more durable than the S3, but the glass is still more prone to breaking than the iPhone 5. Again, Samsung is not a quality manufaure, they are a company trying to push out products in quantity, not quality. Quite a shame! Again, to the OP....choose a quality phone which is designed in America
Lol this is funny cause I have droped my note 2 from nipple height all the time....just breaks open and I put the battery in then cover and bam it works
It looks like I should have done a little more research!
I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 and I dropped it on pavement and cracked a little bit of the corner of my screen. This is where I should have said "okay, the touch screen works, just don't mess with it any more because you know how this ends."
But I didn't... I got replacement glass first and totally screwed up that repair and left the phone in worse shape than it started. Now with the LCD and digitizer it became a slightly more expensive repair but still something I thought I could handle.
So I bought a whole LCD assembly off ebay and installed it with few problems. I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 R530 Metro LCD Screen Touch Digitizer Frame. I stripped my phone down, moved all of the parts to the new frame and started to install the motherboard. Then's when my problems begin...
The new frame has a slightly different placement of the motherboard screw and doesn't seem to fit quite right in line with the power button. Everything else is fine and fits just right, it's just that something isn't fitting quite right. Any suggestions?
Also, my home button doesn't work any more (that's the only thing, though, so it's still a vaguely successful repair).
It sounds like I should have done some more research and I would have found that a black frame can't possibly work fully for a Sprint phone because Sprint S3s are unique for whatever reason. I'm just hoping maybe someone has a solution? A part of the frame to file down or other suggestion?
At this point I would suggest taking it somewhere to be repaired properly. Especially if you are not comfortable with the process.
Hi, my att note 4 dropped from a small hill on to the sidewalk in about 20 feet in the air with a case, the case was made of a hard gel typish case and the case twists when you put twist the case . After that I picked up the note 4, there were no cracks and then when i turned the phone on I saw a led light when the Samsung boot animation comes but there was no display. I took out the spen and i started tapping on my pin number on my lock screen and i heard vibrations when putting the password. Any ideas about what to do? Please help im a student and this is the only phone i have:crying:
So basically, your LCD panel went out. Many people don't realize how sensitive electronics are, but a good enough hit, even with a case may protect the phone but not the LCD. Your best bet is to get a screen assembly off of Ebay. Unfortunately, since you have a Note 4 and it has a Super AMOLED UHD display, it's going to be Super Expensive. You could also try buying a phone with a bad IMEI off of Ebay or craigslist and take the main board out and replace the screen assembly. Its not hard to change a screen assembly, especially since you have a Note 4 with a removable back, because with maybe 10 screws, you can take out your main board and replace whatever you need like a car. What these new companies are doing is sealing the back and its almost the same thing as sealing a hood on a car- so if something goes wrong you have to junk the phone. But like I said, screen assembly is your best bet. Good luck
