Samsung galaxy s4 "lcd" screen replacement - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, im the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S4, and yesterday I broke the LCD Screen , but all the other functions work, like the little notification light, etc. The shop I normally go to charge me 150C$ to repair the screen,m and I tought it was a bit excesive considering I can buy replacement kit off Ebay for like 80C$. I wanted to have your feedback on my idea to do it myself and also I'm having trouble finding the right screen. I have a SGH-M919V a canadian model and I didn't see any screen specific to that model, only M919 screen, so does it gonna work if I put an M919 lcd screen on my M919V ?
Thank you !

It's sadly annoying to change the screen on galaxy S phones. You have to start from the back and basically tear the entire phone down.
There is a guide on ifixit for tearing it down but these kits im seeing on ebay for 75 seem to be ones that need glued in since they aren't the entire display assembly. I would look over that guide and see if your comfortable with that sort of stuff. It may be worth it for you to just pay the 150 vs potentially messing your phone up in the process. The other option is sell the phone and get a S5/S6 or some other upgrade?

Alright, thank you for your help and your quick answer ! I'm still in reflexion about all this, but you certainly help the process.
Thank you again !

Actually, I find the s4 to be very easy to take apart. I have repalced the screens on 4 phones with no problem.
If you buy a replacement screen, make sure you get a pre-assembled frame/lcd/glass unit. It's easy to damage the frame when you remove it from the old screen and having the frame pre-installed is not too much more than the cost of the lcd/glass.

s4 (i337) screen replacement

don't look at my non-existent post count, i frequent here and other tech sites multiple times a day, i just don't engage in discussions, anyways, i'm gonna be needing a new screen for my s4 which cost around 200 bucks, but an oppurtunity has presented itself where i can can the screen and housing replacement (including battery cover,used however) for a lower price, but the descriptions say that it is intended for the L720 (sprint) i545 (verizon) and the us cellular model.
I am wondering of this will still work on my i337 or is it not compatible?? look at the picture here; (the forum wont allow me to post a link)
looking at it, it seems as if it has the sim port, so what do you fine lads and ladies think? will it work??
P.S. this phone is not insured and repair costs have to be paid for by me,that is why i am seeking this course of action, thanks for allsuggestions and replies
Have a Good day
Not compatible ... The frame that holds the LCD is different .. So your motherboard is not going to fit in ...
Unless your only getting the bare LCD/digitizer and you plan to reuse the frame of your i337 , also a good screen cannot be removed from the frame without breaking it...

The digitizer alone can be replaced by itself. Ive done 3 so far. Same with the s3, infuse, note, note 2 etc etc.. its very time consuming but isnt that hard. We charge 130 at my shop.
BEAST......... that is all

[Q] S4 i9505G Needs LCD replacement. Will All models work? i9500 i9505?

Sorry if this is not the right area for this, but i think it is.
I need to replace the LCD on my USA S4 Google Edition i9505G and have been told by Samsung Canada that there are differences in the LCD between the i9500, i337, i9505 and i9505G.
I can't find on any site anywhere someone explaining exactly what works with what, or if they are in fact all the same LCD/digitizer/screen/frame, and dont want to order the wrong part.
Can someone please confirm with me, either if your replaced the two models yourself or with some links etc that show me they are different or the same?
Thanks.

Its not so much the LCD as it is the frame i've been told. There is one extra piece of hardware in the i9505 version is what Samsung Canada informed me and that means it wont fit when they swap the whole lcd/frame out. I need to know what WILL fit, or if its just something they say for US phones.
I can't confirm or not this information from anyone, and if Samsung was willing to replace the part, I would not be looking online to get it fixed.
LCD panel is the same.
i9505 has LTE anttena in frame.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 600 chipset, while the Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 relies on Samsung's own Exynos 5 Octa chipset
that means that the all the parts are the same except for the backplate of the frame where the screen is glued to.
just replacing the screen is no problem but if you buy a screen with the front part be careful you have exactly the right model version.
because the mainboard has a couple of different chips the backplate has a different layout so the chips have a tight fit to the backplate.
this has to do with the cooling of the chips because they need to touch the backplate for heat absorption.
therefore the mainboard will not snugly fit with a different version and will result in a fully functional phone but alas, the cover wont close.
see picture.
the red rectangles show the difference in layout between i9500 and i9505
But the main question, is the i9505 the same as the i9505g ? Mu LCD screen leaked when i dropped and i need to replace the part, everywhere i asked, they told me that they need to verify if its the same, because on the new screen manual there is nothing about the i9505g.
Where the memory and the bootloader are ? Because if i replace them, ill lose my phone memory and the ability to unlock my bootloader ?

does this mean it is possible to put a i9505 (lte) screen on a i9500 S4?
If you need replace the frame together, it will not be compatible
I am very certain about the compatibility: It is depended on the supporting frame which is plastic housing around the screen.
If you want to replace the frame with lcd screen together, then the Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 is not compatible with i9505. Because the frame structure is not the same between i9500 and i9505. You can see the letter 'i9500' or 'i9505' on the frame clearly.
However, if you want to change the screen WITHOUT the frame, then the screen will be totally the same ! The touch glass and lcd display both are the same for i9505 and i9500.
In a word, the difference between Samsung galaxy s4 i9505 and Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 LCD Screen is only the frame. So, it is your choice to choose replace the screen only or replace the screen with frame together.
By the way, there are other models for Samsung Galaxy S4, here is the compatibility:
The lcd screen digitizer for Galaxy S4 (Without frame) will compatible with S4 all models - i9500,i9505,i545,L720,R970,i337,M919
The LCD Screen digitizer With Frame:
i9500 (with frame, not compatible with other models)
i9505 (with frame, not compatible with other models)
i545 (with frame, compatible with L720,R970)
i337(with frame, compatible with M919)
Dropped my i9505g as well, cracking the screen. Did anyone with a i9505g order a i9505 replacement screen/frame? Did it work?
OK. Learned the hard way, so I'll share here. The i9505 frame IS NOT compatible with the i9505g. The motherboard does not line up with the frame in one important area. When taking apart my i9505g, I discovered the frame has i337 markings, and after comparing to pictures online, it appears the i337 should work. I'm ordering it and returning the i9505 frame I ordered.

I sent mine to the technician and he swapped the screen. It's working fine. It's the g version yet. I think you maybe saw it wrong... I didn't post anything besides I had no response I'm the thread, I didn't thought anyone would have it..
The model number on the stock frame when I opened it is i337. There is no i9505g model frame.

Ok. I got the i337 frame and LCD in and I can confirm with 100% certainty that if you need to replace the frame on your S4 Google Play Edition, you need the i337 frame. NOT the i9505 or i9500 frame.
It's good to have my phone up and running again. And now I have a Black Mist S4 Google Play Edition. :victory:
Do you remember which specific part of the motherboard didnt fit? I'm looking at getting a i9505 black edition screen with back panel for my m919 (i337) motherboard. In comparing my motherboard to photos online it looks like the top right part of the motherboard by the headphone jack behind where the black screw goes there is a small chip for the antenna there, on the i9505 the chip is on the opposite side of the motherboard's "arm" i337 = outside edge of "arm", i9505 = inside edge of "arm". I believe just a small amount of dremel work will allow that chip to fit and the motherboard will be flush. Is this the same spot that was troublesome for you?

Please, i need to change the Wifi/Bluetooth chip on my m919, but can only find for i9500/i9505. Will it work?

I don't think it will. If you can't find an m919, an i337 should also work. If you want to try to order a i9505/i9500 and modify it, you can try. I think I remember seeing a chip on the upper right on the 9505/9500 that wouldn't seat right. Also, once you modify it, if it doesn't work, good luck returning it.
But my understanding is the m919 and i337 are interchangeable.
Sorry for the late reply . I haven't been on much as of late.
So, just the i337 display will work for a gt9505g? I'm from Argentina i can't find on stores that kind of Display. Only gt9505 and gt9500 displays...

i'm going to answer my own question, i opened the phone and i saw "i337" at the side of the motherboard. So now i will have to buy i337 display to someone that ships to Argentina.

Hey
If I were you, I would contact Samsung support by mail or phone and ask them if this statement is true. I could believe it's possible, but again you never know when it comes to Samsung. They could have changed a little bit...

Done. The Support couldnt give me an answer on my question.. I will see what happens.
U can compare the devices on different internet sites and u will see that there is NO difference between those displays
well, there might be no difference, but actually, yes there was ! o:
i got it back yesterday, and it worked for 1.5 hours with restarting whole time and than it was dead and didnt boot normal or into recovery or download mode.
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.

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.

Battery: Tell us what version of Android you're running. Also tell us what apps you had running. One or more of them is the source of your battery drain.
Screen: The shopkeeper is right. If you have no touch capability then the screen will have to be replaced in its entirety.

i have touch capability where im using lots of things in my phone and im running lollipop 5.01 now 5.1.1 from resurrection rom
The screen comes in two parts: glass and digitizer/display. The glass is bonded to the display with optical adhesive. If the glass is broken but the display is intact, a repair center with the right tools can remove the broken glass and replace it with new glass. Just don't try doing it yourself.
Now that I understand things a bit better, it sounds as if the guy you took it to was looking to make extra cash off you by trying to get you to replace the screen instead of repair it. Honestly, buying a screen/midframe combination is a better alternative to glass replacement. It's easy enough that even you could do it, since you're only transferring parts from your device over to the new screen/midframe and reassembling the S4.

(Network)Hardware differences between G935T and G935F -experienced guys, please look

Aloha !
Couldnt find any info about this on the web. If you have any info please share.
Situation:
I've got T-Mobile S7 Edge 935T from U.S.. Unlocked by T-Mobile.
I'm in Europe.
Phone worked correctly till...
I run my car over my phone (my precious!) accidentally. Phone works but screen is shattered.
Ordered new screen. (with frame etc., like this one -> CLICK
Replaced.
Phone cannot find network.
What I did?
Looked over the internet how to repair "Error while searching network". Nothing helped. (in and out sim, unpin battery etc.)
1. Screen which I ordered was for G935F because couldnt find any for "G935T"
2. Some europe sellers say that screen which they sell is for any edge "T", "F" "V" etc. etc.
3. Couldnt find any information if there is any differences between screens designed for T or F versions.
So I assumed that there is no difference (its just bloody screen...)
Question:
What do you think about it ? Could there be some diffrences between screen sets ?
Should I buy new screen from US ? I would't like to do this ;/ Its not cheap, shipping etc And I cannot be sure it will work.
What do you think fellows?
I replaced my phone with broken screen again and it started work again, it sees network (see picture attached,)

This depends, if you're getting the SCREEN ONLY(LCD Assembly), or screen WITH HOUSING. With Housing you might run into issues cause there are slight hardware placement differences, but LCD Assembly only they all work the same,

Yes, you right. It was LCD with Housing (Screen, frame...).
I need to buy LCD assembly for G935T.
The bad thing is I dont see any new LCD assemblies on ebay. Only screens or used LCD assemblies.
Is there any good website with those parts ?

That's because most people think all the models have the exact same things in the exact same place, but GSM/CDMA/International models do have slight differences, thats why when we do repairs and have to use frames, we make sure its the right model.
The 935F is an international model, so the placement might be off or something is not in contact properly, can you take a picture of both frames, 935F and 935T side by side(935F wont work with 935T btw, I checked)? With the motherboard off of course. Also I saw few newer listings on ebay for around 300~.
Oh, and getting a 935T with housing is probably your best choice unless you know what you're doing, cause you might cut into the wrong place and cut off the flex cable for Menu/Home/Back button. But then again, you can just go rough on it with a heat gun and get it off since the LCD is already a goner.

I already sent back 935F assembly with housing so I am not able to check the differences. I'm going to order screen only (screen assembly) and - as you wrote - play with hair dryer
In case of ordering those things its akward situation. I can buy here (Poland) screen with housing for about 270$ (only for F) or just screen for ekhm... 325$ :silly:
I'd like to order screen with housing (fot T) from abroad (China, USA) but I cannot find any new ones (seriously).
I'm not sure about XDA rules in case sharing links for auctions but if you will see any screen with housing let me know
G935T searching
i have this phone from customer and it appears is searching only.
i found out that the customer had already changed the screen.
problem solved
