[Q] Replacement screen ... - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Damn and double damn! Took my S4 out of my pocket (front) yesterday and it wouldn't work. Tried to brush what I thought was a hair off the screen and realised that it was a crack .... So, a new screen/digitiser is needed. Can anyone recommend a seller in the UK (or, someone in the UK recommend a seller TO the UK)? Don't mind if it's Fleabay or elsewhere, just as long as they sell what they say they sell .... I've found a few on Fleabay who seem legit but you never know ....
Thanks.

So, after some messing about I found that a local repair shop to me could supply and fit a new screen/digitiser for £99.99. Took him about 10 minutes as I'd already taken the phone apart Yes, I could have saved some money by buying via Fleabay but the extra gives me 6 months warranty. Now got what looks like a new phone.

Need a Screen Replacement

Yes, I got the dreaded cracked screen after I dropped my device. Can someone tell me where I can buy another screen or a replacement one. I have been on EBay and that did not have any luck.
screen
if its any of the xda's 1,2 or S, u can buy it from www.pdasmart.com . Efficent service and the cheapest ones as well.. but mate if its executive or jasjar..then u r screwed..cause i broke mine few days back..n i got a replacement from imate at a cost of $180.
Screen replacement
It is a JasJar... You said you got a replacement screen from IMate? who did you contact? do you still have the link or contact information?
ok today was a great day I found a place in US that will fix JasJars broken/cracked lLCD Screens. $250 = new screen and they install it.
http://www.pocketpctechs.com
At top of home page you have a option to select your device
of course this works for all versions of the HTC Universal which JasJar is one of.
250 sounds a lot. how much is a new jasjar over there?
I am not sure how much they are selling for, I am not even sure any of the couriers (Cigualar, Tmobile, Sprint) even have them on their radar to start selling them. I was one of the lucky ones at a Microsoft PDC and bought mine for $150. I can tell you after I broke my lcd I worked with IMATE for a repair and they wanted $200 for a new LCD, but they could not tell me what the labor charge would be and I would have to pay for shipping to and from United Arab Emerates which from the TNT shipping company looked to be $80 each way. So I saw $200 + Labor charge $50 to $100 + 80 + 80 = $410 or $460 and did not feel the device was worth that.
I did put in a "Want it now" search in EBay and everyone wanted $200 or more just for the LCD panel
My thought was I was having a heck of a time 3 weeks to even find anyone who would sell a LCD or fix the device themselves. I tried many places in UK and Canada with no luck. This place was in USA (so i could bug them easier on what was happen) and seems to have a good reputation on the web.

Have a look here. Worked for me when I had to strip my 2i down.
Where did you get your screen from by the way?

I got the screen from here, http://www.runpda.com/ , it cost £93.00
including shipping. But I got stung by customs for £38.00 Tax, rip-off, so it cost me £131.00 in total. I've bought from this part of the world before and not been charged by taxman, its just the luck of the draw.
Someone suggested this place in the UK, but I had already ordered, if anybody tries this one, post costs etc for everyone. Mobile Repair Centre in London. 177a North end road 0207 610 3103.
I've dismantled my XDA IIi and the new screen is in and she is working fine now, I'm so happy. Thanks to all

Selling a Hermes - Advise only (not a pitch)

Hi guys,
Just wondering if I can get some advise.
I just bought a Tytn II and am now going to sell my T-Mobile Vario II. I was wondering what sort of price I should be looking for one now-a-days.
It's got the original box, but no warranty. I can put my hands-free kit in from my Tytn II as I really don't need it.
I've got the original charger and a USB sync/charge cable are easy to add.
I can also throw in my Tytn II's case. I don't need that either.
It's in near pristine condition. I got it in about April after sending my first one back to T-Mobile for repair. They replaced it instead. However, on the corner is a small, but very obvious scuff which I plan on showing when selling it.
Just wondering if anyone can advise me on what sort of price you would expect to pay for this phone if you was buying it so I can get a rough idea of what to expect.
I'll be putting the Official T-Mobile Windows Mobile 6 on the device and it is unlocked.
i reckon £130, but saying that the official wm6 and unlocked aswell wouldcrank it up if u put it on ebay. dont seel for less than 130 though.
Thanks for your reply.
That kind of price is actually quite a bit above what I was thinking. I was looking at more about £70. Especially considering the scuff on the corner is quite visible with the device being grey and red.
It's not damage which will effect the device in any way shape or form, but it is clearly visible. That's it's only downside.
I'd look at the prices on ebay... On Aussie ebay most Hermes sell for around $200Aud. This is my observation for about 2 months... Watch how they sell on ebay for a week then decide how to go about this.
Most people tend to bid in the last few hours and I've seen a Jasjam go from $55 to almost $300Aud in the course of 20 mins.
I don't know how it is on UK ebay but my advice is watch and learn.
Cheers...

Good advice.
I'd say as well (having sold a couple of phones on ebay) decent descriptions and pictures add more than you would expect to the price, so spend a bit of time writing some decent text and describing the functions in detail.
May as well watch http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200242138578 - it's a similarly replaced Vario II so should give you an idea of what it will go for, once it completes.
Good luck!
Geoff
i only paid a £100 for mine 12 months ago and that was virtually new, a midwife had got it on contract and then found it far too complicated to use. £130+ to me is way off the mark. I have tried to buy a few on ebay and they generally sell from £70-£100 depending on the condition , accessories included etc.
PM me with a price as a friend wants one , if you dont want to use ebay. Or if you do pm me the link
EDIT:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200242138578 Someone is taking the piss on the bidding with that one its at a £155 with two days to go, i think someone is pulling his leg.
average price for one if these is about a £100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/69/26751569.html <---£100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/69/26751569.html <---£110
http://www.gumtree.com/london/25/25809225.html <---£100
http://www.gumtree.com/london/23/26155423.html <---£75
Thanks for the suggestions,
The item linked by Marsbar is going for a really high price.
To be honest, I think I'll put it on there for £70 with full pictures of it up and working then let it run for 7 days.
I just sold a Samsung Tocco on there (free upgrade from Orange) for £200 on a buy it now. That was done within hours. I think the Tytn could fetch quite a bit more than I anticipated.

X2 Housing Replacement

My X2 fell from the pouch case and as i result it endured some minor scratches in its housing. Now i can't get over seeing it and wanter to replace it. I went to SE service center here in our place (Pampanga, Philippines) but they told me they weren't allowed to open such device because of their level 2 accreditation.
They gave me and address and a contact number of the center which is allowed to do so. I first contacted the service center and asked for the price if ever i will purchase new housing and casings. I saw housings in the internet being sold prior to that.
But to my surprise, according to the technical representative that responded to my text, they don't have replacement housing for this device. And told me the ones i saw in the internet are not original and is not advisable to buy it. (though the seller from that site claims that its original)
Guys, are there any original housing in your respective country? Or if u happen to know any site which is selling it.
Please don't hesitate to post it here. Thank you so much.
When you say internet, you mean off eBay? If its coming from China, guaranteed its NOT OEM (Original). I've replaced a housing on an X1, and it did not fit, the quality of the housing was POOR. I guess it can include the X2.
But if you are super desperate, you could purchasing online, just make sure you know what pieces you are getting, and making sure you actually get all of them.
Honestly, I have not seen any X2 housings yet online for sale. Good luck.
tnx dude.
Nope, it's not from ebay. i forgot the website though. I'm still trying to locate it.
I'll post it here if i got lucky.
EDITED:
Here's the link:

Thanks.

And oh...i have a problem. I can't seem to understand their language hahaha!
Try this:

Same seller, german eBay.
I am curious too what kind of a challenge replacing the entire housing would be.

Best Source For Replacement Screen/Digitizer?

Hi All,
One of my family members broke their Nexus 4; tripped and fell and threw the phone across the pavement... cracked front screen and no touch response. Thus, I need to find a replacement screen and digitizer with front housing. Does anyone know of a good place to an original part besides etradesupply (they have been out of stock for a while)?
Thanks,
Joe
Why not sell it on ebay for spares or repair and get another one with the proceeds (new or secondhand)? Thereby neatly side-stepping the problem by giving it to others!
I don't know how much I could sell it for. I think replacing the screen would still end up cheaper than buying a new one. Anyone know a reputable ebay seller?
