[Q] Yep, I broke my screen! First one?

Hi there.
Brand new i9000.. first smartphone in my life.. and also the first one I broke in my life. Pretty ****ing annoying.
Everything still works, even typing, just the screen is smashed into a 1000 pieces. Dropped it out of my pocket on a concrete floor when I took my pants of. Lesson: Never take your pants off!
This is how it looks:
/edit: ****! I am not allowed to post photo's?
Found this (Dutch, but that's where I am from) webshop, selling a new screen:
/edit: ****, I am not allowed to post URL's!
It's called: "Samsung i9000 Galaxy S Display module compleet incl. touchscreen" Looks like this:
/edit: ****! I am not allowed to post photo's?
Is it the right screen? And if yes, can I install it myself? The thing is, just the outside is broken.. do I need this set? And where can I find a manual?
Thanks!

Any replica screens that do not come from samsung, will not be super AMOLED.. As this is one of the biggest things with the SGS I'd pay the extra and get it done at a reputed samsung repair centre!! Dunno where in holland you are but they have plenty of repair centres, had to visit one in Harleem myself the other day.... ANY Repairs carried out by you will void the warranty... Also is there no way you could just add accidental damage to your cover!!!... wait a couple of days then make a claim!!

I can't claim it anywhere.

So, I wanne put a Super AMOLED screen in myself. Anybody any idea where I can get a screen from? I can't post links here, pretty annoying.

Guy on Ebay sells them:
"yes, it is genuine LCD + touch screen with 4 inch Super AMOLED screen for samsung i9000"

Contact him ask him what the part number is!! call samsung and check it with them! It could be all good, most of the times is!... but there are alot of con-artists on ebay so for the matter of a phone call to check the authenticity.... I'd say it's worth it! also check with samsung if they sell the spares themselves or they will give you the name of an authorized stockist of their spares!! Worth checking out their prices!
Good luck!

Hi iam from india even my brand new i9000diplay was smashed i replcaed it from samsung sevice they charged me rs 8500 ie 180$

[Q] Broken Display - Can it be replaced?

Hi all,
2 months ago my o2x was unfortunately dropped, resulting in broken display. The phone was on warranty but expanses refuses to fix it for free, siting 'out of warranty reason: display broken'. They are charging me 105 euros for the display, plus shipping and taxes, summing up to 135 Euros. Ive seen that there are many OEM displays for o2x on ebay, for only 20-30 dollars. So what id like to ask is..
A) Are these display of the same (high) quality as the original display of the o2x? Are they the same display?
B) Is replacement something that can be done easily? I have experience on soldering etc, but never with something so fragile and small.
Thanx for all replies

One of our users in indonesia had a broken screen. His kid toyed with it. He went to lg service center and replaced it for ~$600.
He was still under warranty. I have no idea.
The screen was of the same quality.
I dont know about doing it yourself.

You mean 600 US dollars??

Sometimes some eBay sellers sells parts they dismantle from the original o2x phone. If the seller manages to sell all the parts, the profit is alot more than the cost of buying the phone itself. And since o2x is not really a famous phone like sgs2, I don't think China will bother making knock off parts since there are less demands, so there's a good chance those replacement screen are original IPS screens.

[Q]Lcd Broken HELP!!

Today I had the worst accident My phone fell and a door closed on it. I want to know if the screen and digitizer on our phone is the same as those on I9000 (galaxy s) because they seem to be cheaper in Greece where I live. Any suggestions of cheap international online shops is deeply appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Please, if you already make a [Q] in the title, post it in the Q&A Thread, this is not related to development!

new screen costs around 180$ right? (rediculous price tbh) if i remember correctly.
maybe sending it to samsung is even better

I wanted to do this and roght now I was going to edit my post to tell everyone that there is no Thread for Q&A only for I9001 so I did it in here

Brood I do not care for a genuine Samsung screen just one to work! In Greece it is about 100 Euros and 60-70 Euros on eBay and I do not think they are genuine in either case.

AW: [Q]Lcd Broken HELP!!
Yes the i9000 lcd screen fits.

Our Q&A thread is hidden in I9000 Q&A thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252697)

make sure is not the i9003's screen, because is a different type of screen (9000: amoled - 9003: super lcd)

Emmm... Screen or only glass and digitizer is broken? That's is very important. Becouse new glass and digitizer cost less than 60-70$ and it's easy accessible on ex. ebay.

Its impossible to replace the digitizer without damaging the amoled. They sell the item but its useless.
Amoled, digitizer and the Gorillaglas are guled together, forever!

If you know what are you doing, then you can replace this

Both are broken screen and digitizer because when touching the screen the light do not light and when I make a call to my phone I can not answer it. So I am going for a screen and digitizer has anyone tested anything or has anything to propose. I am looking for the cheapest and most sure to work combination. Thank you all for your replies

OK. Last question I am thinking to buy this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Whi...437?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d066c387d
I have the black SGS+ so I thought to also change the color! Will it be suitable for my phone or I will have trouble in assembly because of the other parts included?

I9000 and I9001 are the same in dimension, the only thing that is different is the camera and cpu. I thought it was explained before in this post. Take the phone to a service with the newly bought lcd/digitizer and they will fix it.
Oh, and don't complain about prices, if you want your phone to be fixed and work as new, pay some cash. Otherwise try fixing it yourself

[Q] Screen cracked what to do ?

During an eventful week in Ibiza I woke up with a cracked non functioning screen SONY UK want me to send it to SBE LTD as the official service centre but I have heard many negative stories about them and it is highly unlikely they would replace it under warranty anyway I have had a recommendation to use :
http://www.buzz-box.co.uk/
Or is this an easy fix myself if so where do I get an official screen / digitizer from ? How do you successfully reseal the case as I know it is sealed with some sort of adhesive ?

Cracked just like the pics in the thread and it was in my pocket at the time no large knocks of from being dropped .............. meh .
Anyone successfully repaired it themselves or able to recommend a UK repair centre ?

Repair of mine costs 302EUR at local Sony service. There was changed the screen, the frame with sidings and buttons and the battery too (dunno why was it changed). Also had unglued the backplate, we fixed it.

I work as a mobile phone & PC tech in the UK & have to deal with SBE on a regular basis, There not as bad as people make out, Just have to remember that they will only do any work as long as the phone has not been tampered with or had physical/water damage.
If it's a cracked screen my guess is they will tell you to do one or charge you a lot for the job..

I am not looking for it to be done under warranty I am more concerned about them being competent at doing it which I have heard enough bad experiences to put me off plus as you say you deal with them regularly and state they will either tell me to do one or charge me a lot for any work done this does not instill me with any confidence being that I have been quoted £150 quid elsewhere or I can attempt it myself for the cost of parts at £100 .
Has anyone done the procedure themselves ?
Is there a guide and not the you tube disassembly one on you tube as that is not comprehensive enough ?
Any recommendations how to reseal the back plate once done ?

On any other phone I would say try it yourself but if you ever intended on using the water resistant feature of this phone I would suggest paying the extra & getting SBE to do it, that way you are still covered with Sony & and the job will definitely be done correctly

My understanding is that the device would have to be purchased from them and in US only.

I am! i just found out you can do that!
They give you two options and i chose the latter...
which is, I pay 175 Plus a 500 dollar security hold,
they send me a new phone, i then send mine to them,
they assess the damage, then take the 500 dollar
hold off my account.
so for 175 i get a new phone.
Best Deal Ever compared to 275 to have someone just
replace the screen.
Thanks though guys/girls!
