Replace broken screen with larger 7-9 inch tablet screen?? Any Options? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi guys, I have a Note 8 that had a fall and the screen cracked all over. At the time I had to get a new phone so it has just sat. I have been working on an infotainment display on a project car and I'm not sold on my current setup and development boards with enough power like a raspberry pi 4gb are outrageous in price. Today I looked and they were $160!! I had a thought as I was helping my son with his tablet (Galaxy Tab A SMT290). I have this high power Note 8 just sitting here collecting dust and it would be perfect for my needs but the screen is too small, even if it wasn't shattered. With many displays using things like LVDS or some semi-standard pinout and such, does the Note 8 use a connector for the screen and digitizer that I could find on a bigger screen with a size between 7 and 9 inches? I am making the shroud for the display myself so I'm not locked into a specific size so I'm just wondering if there are any possible options and what those might be?
Thanks!

We want popSLATE E-ink for Nexus 10

FOR iPhone 5 this features:
The e-ink screen is always on, but the company claims it’s very energy efficient. The screen can be used for all sorts of things, including notifications, sports scores, maps, and lists and notes. Plus, since it’s always on, you don’t have to worry about the screen going into sleep mode with the rest of the phone when you’re reading something. The company is building an API for the screen, which means that we should be seeing a lot of third-party apps add support for the second screen.

I think that nexus 10 for reading e-book whit popSLATE and take advantage of 300 PPI display, makes this ultimate Tablet for all :laugh:
All to spam popSlate site for make it
The iPad and N10 have capacitive displays. Their inking limitations aren't based on s/w but by the granularity of what their displays can recognize when touched. Without palm rejection it's not a lot of fun inking on a 10" tablet. The Note(s) have inductive displays with 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, palm rejection, and a Wacom digitizer. The Note 10.1 has a lower resolution display than the N10 but for someone who's looking for inking it's a better trade off than trying to replicate that functionality on an N10 via s/w.

I don't think this is about styluses. This is about an E-ink display on the back of a case. It's a neat idea.

Prestigio multipad 8" split screen

Hello, i got for free Prestigio Multipad Thunder 8.0i 3G (PMT7787_3G_D), but screen is split, about half screen to one side of the cleavage is dead... But LCD is good, view is so clear and bright.
I try find out how change this model touch panel (she is from glass), but in russian forums i found just that to LCD with touch panel is full face glued and most people say that they spoils LCD when it try distinguish it from touch panel. Maybe something is to try to distinguish this model touch panel? I see in youtube some people separate LCD form touch panel with hot air fan-heater and strong fishing line, but some people in Russian forums says that the glue for this model is very hard (harder than Apple or Samsung). In internet china shops i see glass touch panels for this model in sale, it means that it is possible to change them, but how? Or for the new touch panel replacement match UV glues? Is this device worthwhile the risk to remove the touch panel and only buy touch panel (16$) , or if i failure to remove the touch panel and LCD will damaged simply forgetting that tablet pc, and maybe this device worth at once Buy the LCD with glued touch panel (60$)?
P.S. Many thanks for the answers in advance.
P.S.S. Sorry for my terrible english knowledge :/
I would say any device that you purchased for $60 is not worth repairing. If you do decide to repair it, then you'll need a heat gun which will cost you an extra $20 or so to buy. So you're going to pay at least $30 to repair a screen that might not survive the repair process.
I have people who lend for me good bosh heat gun, and i have good flat work table. I don't know where i can buy touch panel with glued lcd (ready to use LCD+touch) for best price, in aliexpress cheapest offers is out of stock... i write to services who repair touch screens, i got answer that cost me 30-50$ with parts and replacement, hmmm from they get screens :/ because i just find cheapest for 60$...
P.S. yes, this device is cheap now~100-150$ (i got for free) but it with Atom series intel procesor, is this procesor not a miracle? Good stereo, good 8" ips screen...

Galaxy Note 7 body is more narrow

I went to some cellular stores to get my hands on the Note 7 for a little bit. The first thing I noticed is that the Galaxy Note 7 is smaller (narrow) in your hands than my old Galaxy Note 2. Outside of the curve of the screen the screen real estate between my Note 2 and the Note 7 is about the same. Just feels so weird holding the Note 7 with the same basic screen real estate as my Note 2 and yet feels so much more narrow. I had to keep putting the two Galaxy devices together screen to screen to remind myself that the straight part of the screen real estate is basically the same. The 0.2in more is really the curves of the screen itself. Just so weird.
Not a bad thing. In fact basically the curve of the glass being the bezel on the sides is the reason that Note 7 is more narrow. It fits more natural in my hands without having trouble reaching over the device with my fingers. I like that.
The only downside is now it leaves me with the feel of wanting a little larger size screen like maybe 6".
I having hard time waiting to tryout the features that I been missing from my Galaxy Note 2. The stores take away the stylus. So I wait for my preorder Galaxy Note7 SM-N930TZKATMB (Black Onyx).

I agree, it bugs that after all this time they haven't gotten a little bit bigger. I'm just glad i kept my note 4 by skipping the note 5. I watch tv on my phone everyday on my lunch break, but I'm not gonna be gaining any screen size compared to the S7E I'm using now (only because of the BOGO deal, the wife got the other one).
You will get used to curve the display the N7 is actually a better fit in the hand than the S7E IMO. I have a S7E and loved the feel of the N7. I think you will appreciate the reduction in the weight difference between the N7 and the N2
I went to local T-mobile store to see it on Aug 4th. Comparing to my current iPhone 6 plus, Note 7 is almost the same size and it's narrow. Really good design.
I just got my Note7 case today and I was able to put my Note5 in it. They are almost exactly the same size. The sides didn't fit right of course since the Note5 doesn't have the edge screen but overall it was a very close fit. When I briefly looked at the Note7 at Costco, it did look skinny for sure.

Note 5 display digitizer panel

Hello guys
any leads on where can i find note 5 lcd display panel , complete with digitizer and display panel
i have 5-10 phones with broken display
need display panels at good wholesale prices , as nowadays pre-owned note 5 are available at low prices.
People are buying pre-owned / used note 5 from market instead of getting repaired
there's a reason for that; it's cheaper to get a working used note 5 than to get a new screen. samsungs are usually not economically viable to fix after about 6 months after its release.
One big problem with harvesting a display panel from a Note 5 is how Samsung placed the USB flex connector, which makes it extremely difficult to remove without damaging the screen. So, if a unit has a faulty flex connector, which could have been an easy repair if Smasnung placed it with easier access, the faulty connector can pretty much make a good display worthless if not very carefully removed.

Question Where to buy an S21 Ultra 5g screen replacement in the US

Spoiler: TL;DR - Front screen broken
Hi, I currently live in the US and just dropped my phone and cracked the screen. Series of misfortunate events that is extremely frustrating. Screen protector was being replaced and it dropped from waist height onto a completely empty floor, minus a tiny pebble. My phone landed perfectly flat which caused the pebble to chip the edge and crack the front glass. Bottom half of the screen is black and the top half doesn't respond to touch. Also, my rotation is locked portrait so I can barely do anything -- I have to lock out the fingerprint reader (which doesn't work) three time in order to have the draw a pattern sit lower down so I can access the top dots.
I have the dual sim version (SM-G998B/DS 512GB) and I'm hoping I can buy a screen to fix my device. Going through my insurance / mobile service provider (tmobile) is a problem since they want to replace it with the 128GB single sim version.
Where can I buy a screen / what other options are there available?
EDIT: If they do send me the 128gb version, does anyone know if I can swap the screens and send them back that device? I'm not sure if all of the parts are compatible, especially since I have the exynos version vs the snapdragon they are sending.

I guess my question is are the screens compatible across different versions of this device.
