Got me thinking.. is it possible to upgrade just the TFT LCD to AMOLED
Guess it really depends whether your phone can handle it, but im not sure probably different head connector so im surprised if you can do it..

In theory, yes you could.
But it would be very complicated, and you would mos likely void your warranty.

Not most likely, 100% would void your warranty. Opening a case and replacing a part with a non-oem part would 100% void your warranty, most companies would void it just by opening the case.....
With that being said, it would be interesting if it would work. As long as its the same res and the connector, it might work, at least I would think.
I would not attempt this unless you were out of warranty...
If you do, post back, I am wondering....

So my phone was messing up (randomly shutting down and turning off, now there's a red LED and the phone doesn't work) and I tried to replace the battery but I stripped the screw inside the phone. Does this void warranty? It's just a screw, I mean it can't have ruined the phone. Please help! I contacted Google for a replacement and I'm probably going to have to send the phone in so, I'm wondering about the screw and them saying it voided warranty. Is this something I should worry about or is it not a big deal cause its a screw.
THANKS!

You could always buy a new screw but if you stripped one you probably were not using the correct tool and left other marks too. And, since the battery is glued to the display and front case and is extremely difficult to remove, and the warranty information which came with the phone warned that the battery is not replaceable, I personally think it would be better to make it look like you have never messed with it.

I have an at&t galaxy s4 that's still under warranty for another couple of months. Recently, I made the mistake of placing my phone on a kitchen counter with a few drops of oil (room temperature) on it. I noticed it as soon as I picked the phone back up, and the oil definitely crept into the phone's loud speaker at the back. Luckily, this is the only part of the phone that it got to.
The loudspeaker sounds much worse now - not so 'loud' any more, and sounds very muffled. It is definitely damaged. I've set the phone in a cup of rice, although I'm not really sure how effective this method will be for oil. Is there anything else I can do to fix the problem myself?
If not, what I'm wondering is if at&t/samsung will have a way of finding out that it was damaged by oil (liquid); because if they do, I will get charged full price for whatever replacement they send me.
Any tips on how to proceed?
Rubber isn't going to do any good. I would try push and hold a paper towel against the speaker and hope out wicks the oil away.
In regards the Samsung/at&t, of course the should charge you. You did the damage why should they have to pay

Rubber? Not sure what you mean there ...
Regarding the warranty, let me elaborate the reason why I'm considering whether to send it in or not:
If at&t/samsung decide that my phone is not covered under the warranty, their course of action is to return my phone to me, un-repaired, and charge me full price (read: $579) for a certified replacement S4 (read: not brand new, without battery or cables or chargers) that they will have sent me before hand. I hardly think that this fair. I'm not saying it's not my fault that the speaker is damaged, but I'd at least like to find out what the chances are of getting this minor issue fixed under warranty without having to shell out full price for a re-certified replacement of a year-old phone.

I'm guessing he meant rice, not rubber. There's not really another option, besides attempting repair yourself or through a third party.

So apparently at&t has Device Support Centers where I can take my phone in, and they'll diagnose it on the spot and let me know if my warranty will cover it or not. I'll keep you guys posted on how that goes ...
Hi, can anyone tell me what this is called? Its not the actual photo of the problem on my phone cause I don't have a spare camera to take a photo of the actual issue but it looks quite similar to the image attached.
Am planning to have the samsung service center check if this can be fixed under warranty since I never dropped the phone so I'm thinking it wasn't anything physical.
I've been reading about Amoled screen burn-in but I rarely leave the phone on the same page for hours so I don't think this is burn-in.
More screenshots
More high resolution screenshots that are similar to what I have on my device. The research I did online does not indicate what it is, just that some users of the s7 edge have also had this and some stores offered warranty replacement/repair while others didn't.
Seems to be the fluid that is from the OLED screen.. The spot is most likely to increase in size every time you drop it (friend had the same and now it's covering about 1/10th of his screen so he put it up for repair, wasn't covered by warranty).. I'd say go get it repaired!
EDIT: Since you haven't dropped it it is not your fault, in other words, it might fall under warranty:good:

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully they consider it as something that is covered by the warranty. The people who handle warranties in my country are not considerate at all..

Can you be more specific on "destroyed". Is the logic board intact?
Changing the glass is something you're not supposed to do, and Samsung tries to screw you by making it so you destroy the amoled display, if you want to buy a replacement panel, they're not cheap, they are worth like 70usd (an amoled one not those crappy LCD imitations).
Its even a better idea to buy a used S5, they're like 80usd nowadays

But still possible.
I've replaced four, the latest three were successful and still working fine...
Not an easy task at all.

You can sell the main logic board, it costs $25 and up.
What variant of S5 was yours?
G900v
But still possible.

Indeed its a feasible task, but a pain in the ass, for you may end up breaking the panel once you press the glass and the glue, let's say it is a hit or miss, but you will sure agree that samsung made it nearly unfixable so that you better buy a new display module instead of just changing the glass.

It's not the most dangerous stage of the process.
I'd say, cleaning after the glass separation is the most dangerous. Especially if you have to replace the polarizer (the LCD becomes too thin and easy-breakable without it).

I think, Samsung's aim was to make an excellent display and this was really achieved.
You know, this is difficult for the first and, probably, the second time to replace the glass only.
I'd suggest training on the broken LCDs.
You'll find it to be much more easy the third time
Hino guys,

Screen replacement or warranty replacement either way it covered under the manufacturer warranty of the device. Looks like a manufacturer detective AMOLED panel.
