[Q] Use galaxy s3 screen on neo - Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, my S3 NEO fell to the toilet, i had it cleaned in a store - but the screen still comes and goes(mostly goes), i want to check if it is a screen problem, and i have a regular galaxy S3, if i connect the screen of the s3 to the neo in order to check if it it a screen problem(and not a motherboard problem), just the little cable, will it work? or can it harm the screen/phone?
thanks!

I think you cant use s3 screen, every screen is different.

You think? or are you sure? if the connector is the same... i don't want to replace the screen with s3's screen, just to check if it is a screen problem, so it doesn't have to be the same size, just the same connector. my question is - is it the same? and can it harm my phone/screen to try it?

On your place i wouldnt risk ...

Ok. Thx for trying to help. Is there anyone that can give a clear answer?

I am almost 99 sure you cant use s3 screen since we dont have kernel support for it. I know on my old device (ACE 2) we had 2 variant of screen and both had to be enabled on kernel. I think it is clear evidence not to try s3 screen.

I9500 Screen flickering (Imp.)

Hi guys,
I have a galaxy S4 I9500 version and I have observed a problem with it. I was sharing media with my friend's Xperia Z via NFC, while doing that, my phones' screen started flickering highlighting clock at the top portion.
Later I turned off both mobiles' NFC and taken both mobiles close and guess what my phones' screen flickered again.
I checked it with my old Galaxy S I9000 which doesn't even has NFC, again S4s' screen flickered.
Then I went to service center to show this issue, as they were not having any other S4 there to crosscheck problem, they asked me to visit a Samsung mobile shop. There I checked it with three S4s' which were on display and I found that problem was there with each and every S4.
So guys can you check your phones' for this issue and will it cause any problem to phone as the time passes??
similar type of problem

hii,
i am facing similar type of problem. the diffrence is that i get such flickering whenever i am using the mobile data network after evry few minutes and the flicker is like a flash(means it lasts for a fraction of second). i started to have this issue from past few days and this is extremely annoying.
Dont know wat to do!!

But I think it could turn into an issue because earlier my phones' screen was flickering and waking up automatically highlighting clock just like shown in that video.
I submitted my phone to them and they have replaced display with new one. Now it is not flickering automatically but it does while holding devices side by side as that sensor gets triggered by any magnet. So there is a possibility that the sensor could get permanently affected by a strong magnetic field and triggers the screen to wake up automatically.

They replaced display with new one and now the problem is sorted out.
Yesterday I tried something with my s4..
I disabled samsung link, clock digital(both of em), watch on, and dropbox.
The problem of flickering and clock appearing on top was GONE!! until......
I turned on the data network and found it coming back again...
I figured that it happened to me since i updated it to UBMG1 Indian firmware from BMEA
So i am now rolling back to the latter and sammobile here i come
Even i have also tried a lot of things... but problem was still there.... i think it messes with hardware and there is only one solution and tht is to replace the display with new one... if you find sonething to sortout this issue without replacing any hardware part...pls post it here....

Same problem here.
Does any one got this solved.. as said by one member, even in chennai - tamilnadu, they are not clear on what the issue i am explaining to them, they just changed the motherboard. but no use still.
"S-view mode activates itself, dono why... it happened for me in a month old S4, i got my motherboard replaced, but still the issue is persisting. but the frequency became less. thats it. other than that no use.
as mentioned by one of the member, it is annoying as it happens any time u work with your phone. in any screen suddenly "

I got my screen replaced but in vain.. I think using the S view cover will help because the flickering is caused by s view initiation (black screen with clock) which is initiated by a magnetic sensor..
Buy unfortunately the s- view cover is costly and so I cannot buy it at the moment .
A possible solution is to turn the s-view service off to stop the flickering issue..
If any developer on the site could help us out..

- Actually am using the S-View Cover. But with no use, when its out of S-View cover it behaves erratic by switching to S-View display automatically.
-Yes you are right it can be a software problem ,but take my words, i used a S4 which i bought on launch date in India, i used it for 3 months, then i gave it to my cousin, and bought another new one - this is the one which is showing up this S-View Issue,
the old one which i had was a GEM, not even once i had this problem of S-View with it, both where of same SW revision level, hence there is something to do with the hardware.
am just waiting for the October 4.3 update, if this is not solved in that SW by any means, then am gonna **** on every Samsung technician in the service center, they don't even know the difference between Hall sensor and proximity sensor!!!! , for making them understand the problem in our phone itself is painstaking..
in between is there any change to bring this issue to Samsung's eye.!?

True the service center's technicians
Don't know anything...
If you report that the s-view cover also gives the same result instead showing the s- view when it is supposed then I won't buy it because I only wanted to buy it currently just to fix the issue..
Also just waiting for the android 4.3 update..

That's not a issue. It's s-view feature in phone. If your phone get close to any magnet/magnetic source then it will activate s-view screen.
A lot of devices like iPad and Nexus 7 have a small magnet in them to provide support for cover/accessories. If your S4 get close enough to that magnet on other device it will activate s-view screen.
I dont know exactly if your other phone that you are trying NFC with, has a magnet. but there should be.

I know that it is a feature but it comes just in between typing process or running through the temple (temple run) and it disturbs a lot so I thought of using the s- view cover so it will restrict the feature to only when needed out initiated by closing the cover instead of coming every time in between activity..

Not always, see i am just holding my phone in hand, or it is laid on a wooden desk, even then this flickering into S-View mode happens.

May be that you are luckier than you think ...
If because of the impact came off the flat connector for LCD, then it's only necessary to simply reattach this one to get device back running again.
Happened to me once with a GT I9000.
OK

You may need to flash a kernel that matches your display. G2 is made with 2 different panels and if your kernel is using one and not the other you will have an issue like this. Did this start happening after using autorec by any chance?

Try resetting to factory defaults. If the issue persists, return it for warranty service.

Well your situation sucks then ;p do you see the LG boot logo or even that not? can you try to maybe flash KDZ after you have backed up all your data but i guess you need to do that blindly or you need to have LG OSP(on screen phone) idk or you are able to blindly enable it but maybe you should see like an LG G2 review whereyou can see the settings app so you can enable the things you need to get On screen phone working.
guys i still have this problem, any one there who can help me? you guys thin think this is software related ? i sure hope so :| can i try a custom rom ? i never installed a rom before :/
@Demitha I am not sure since it can be both hardware and software problems which can cause a blackscreen.

screen connection problem
hi buddy,
I have the same problem and i think it's a connection issue.
In my case the screen sometimes goes off or changes color intensity or inverse color.
the solution is to knock on the lower side of the screen and it turn on correctly.
firstable it happends rarely but with the time it's comming very annoying.
now just holding the phone hardly or connecting the headphones or charger the screen goes ****ing itself and i have to knock severly or push it to resuscitate it.
i'm thinking in opening the device and look the connections to solve it.
I had similar issue with my previous phone. But I had something like few points where I had to press to get backlight working again, eventually it stopped functioning at all.
As I found out, screen cable was damaged and I figured out that it had been due to dropping the phone or other kind of mechanical damage.
In case if you don't have a warranty or something, my suggestion is to open back-cover and check if you can find anything that is wrong with screen cables. But in worst case scenario it is due to faulty motherboard.
This happened to me few weeks ago, definntely hardware related.
I tried to open my phone and check stuff around, but I'm no expert, and couldn't find anything weird.
So I ended buying a new G2....

do i9506 and i9505 have same displays?

hello,
today i gave my i9506 in repair for changing display unit. the man in the shop i gave it to said that there is no difference between i9506 and i9505 when repairing the display and they will build the i9505 into it. but i read somewhere that there is a small difference. do you know about that? because i am confused now and scared that they will break my device

Now they have to reapair it better.. with i9506 display that will work 100%

Hello.
So? Is there any happy ending?
I have changed display from i9505 too. and Phone is hanging, turning off and overheating...
Im interested if this is because of different display or because phone was wet when damaged display...
update: removed Antenna + Loudspeaker. phone still hot. but works now. So i do not believe that it is because of screen....

hey, nice to hear that it might not be the screen, for me the result is still unknown. My device was not working after letting them put i9505 display in it. It worked for quite an hour, than it restarted very very often and suddenly it didnt do anything at all. No Download mode or recovery mode too.
The shop said, that the software was completely deleted for no reason. but they flashed the firmware again but the problem with rebooting and after all having a "dead" device was still there. Now they are trying to find whats cauing this problem, and the will send it to samsung if they dont have a plan what it could be ( but i definetly know, that it has to do something with the screen, because earlier, befrore the display change, EVERYTHING worked fine!).
Im so excited how it will end, and especially, who is going to pay, if samsung has to repair what the shop has done wrong
Its really interesting....
I think they could break something when disassembling screen... It was quite difficult to remove some flexible cables as they were stick to screen.
If you have Samsung warranty then you can take only to Samsung dealers to repair, otherwise you loose warranty. That's how it is in my country.
update: My s4 was dead for half a day. but now fully working. have already flashed recovery and rooted... works like a charm
(it were restarting sometimes, after rooting restarts somehow have stopped)

finally i think (and i hope) i got a solution. Thex have ordered a i9506 display unit and finally understood that theyve done something wrong. now they will try to fix it and see if the fault was caused by the screen or not ^^ in some days i will now more
Well after trying to learn a bit about difference between i9505 and i9506 and shv-e330s i came to a conclusion that they might be the same device if samsung didnt magically decide to complicate things. I9505 and i9506 have different hardware and their displays are obviously not interchangeable. But, nowhere on the entire frickin internet was i able to understand is i9506 actually shv-e330s. Or are their screens compatible. So i asked samsung like this:
Hello! I would like to ask is there a possibility to replace a broken display on SHV-E330S S4. My father purchased the phone in South Korea and brought it to Croatia, but the phone fell and broke the LCD display. I am trying to find the display for SHV-E330S but I cant find any on the internet. My questions are - can I order a replacement display from Samsung directly? Or can I use the display for i9506 S4? They seem to be same variations regarding hardware inside, except for the DVB tuner antenna for SHV-E330S. Thank You in advance for Your answer.
Their response was just that they cant offer service outside of korea and that they are very sorry. Havent even mentioned the question about i9506 and shv-e330s.
So there ya go. You got shv-e330s outside korea? No help.
different screens
Hello there,
yes it is a different screen
I suppose it is interchangeable because I9500 or I9505 screen (I can't remember exactly) is working fine on my phone. BTW, I got the part and replaced by myself.
But, please note if they replaced your front panel as well, probably your MB was damaged. The front panel is a different one.

unlucky me my phone fall on the side so even tempered glass wasnt broken...
well if u by mistake buy screen of i9506 and u r bieng i9505 just buy back casing of i9506 and it would be ok , atleast it solved my problem with the screen bieng different then the phone . hopefully it helps
Hey,
Yes there seems to be a problem, at least you cannot use a i9506 screen on a i9505 Phone.
Seems to be a Problem with the connector, because the screen works until somewhat applies too much force on the conector (not much, just a tip with the finger is enough), like the backcase does when it is clipped back on. So the connectors might differ on the on the models. Hope this helps someone.

[Q] What's wrong with my phone's display?

Hello
I got a new Galaxy s5, an update i was pretty happy with considering the last phone i had was a galaxy s2. I got relatively cheap, too (200 euros). Though, after i began using it more, i noticed that the display above where the keyboard should be is a bit dimmer than the keyboard section, and in white screens you can easily see permanent marks of the keyboard keys. Why are these pixels engraved in my screen? IS there a way to fix it without having to buy a new display? I was thinking about doing a dead pixel fix using an app/video, but i didn't want to cause anymore damage without some research first.

Same old amoled problems, different device......I came from an S2 as well, I read ebooks a lot on that phone, and by the time I retired it, I'd SERIOUSLY burnt the screen in exactly the same places that the ebook text was displayed......I've tried various screen burn in apps, and none of them has made the slightest bit of difference.......

Oh well, I guess i'll just have to get used it, no matter how distracting and annoying it is.
I'm guessing you're not currently using a 3rd party keyboard or screen filter? Best check there isn't one installed if it wasn't bought new.
A screen filter app may be able to either cause or even help a bit with problem however, depending on what exactly is wrong with it. There are some that affect the whole screen while others (technically it's a bug) do not affect the keyboard.

I factory reset the phone right after I bought it.
