nope, i used a clear box with gloves so i didnt get any crap inside it

would superglue be alright to use under the corner of the touch module?
bottom right corner is lifting and nothing i put on it will hold it, ofcourse super glue would, just dont want it to stuff my module
would it be alright?

Whoa. Nice. It's a Panda Phone~ Lol.
Glad you survived the surgery operation >.<

just used superglue to stick the corner of the touch module down.
its stuck, it aint going absolutly no where, man this **** is strong, stuck my finger to my cloth, had to use salt water to get it off

How did you remove digitizer from housing with heat or something else?

Per schematics I looked at a while ago, and pictures I've seen, I think that the digitizer and the glass are bonded together. He probably just replaced the glass and digitizer at the same time.

Things are supposed to appear on your phone's screen. If nothing appeared on your screen, that would be a problem.

yeah sorry but i would need a little better understanding of the question to help you out. what appeared on your screen? whats causing you problems?

Yeah, but what looks like WET SPOTS are NOT supposed to be there. Looks like some sort of screen damage. Do those spots go away when the screen changes?

are you talking about those hazy thingies?
Have you exposed your phone to a place with rapid ambient temperature/humidity change? this might be water under the glass?
or it could be a protector screen gone bad?
you need to be more specific otherwise because there seems nothing wrong beside that.

Looks like it might be the screen protector. At least he should hope that it's only the screen protector. If not, hope he has $$$ or $ and a steady hand.

or just try an hairdryer at low temp for a bit
now seriously, if that's just humidity under the glass, leave it off for two days with the battery cover open, best case scenario all of it will be gone without any sigh it was there.

if it is water try opening it up .. and putting it in a bag rice for a day or two ..

[Q] can i get this part alone: area with rear camera

Hi XDA'ers
I recently bought a used mt4g, super cheap price.. but i got that i paid for ...
Saddly the previous owner really didn't take care of it, he didnt keep it in a case, so its pretty scratched and dinged up... but i can like with those, BUT the worst part is that the covering for the back camera is scratched up badly....
it seriously affects my camera quality.. very blurry and grainy
I partly blame htc for a design flaw/oversight .. why would they have that as the most protruding part of the back of the phone..it should have been recessed..anyway
this is the part i want

I guess that I will probably have to get a whole new housing, as I haven't seen this part alone online anywhere.
If any one has a bricked phone or old housing not in use and the camera area is good PLEASE let me know if i can get it...
thanks in advance

that is actually part of the center frame piece. you should be able to find it new on ebay or amazon.

i have already check both of the recommended sites... no luck so far...
when u say 'its a part of the center frame' does that mean it can not be separated from the housing or it can be ?

two weeks later and i am still unable to source this part..

I want it to look new. I feel like I need to replace the glass, home button, the faceplate beneath the glass, and possibly the headset speaker piece. I am mechanically inclined. I just need help in identifying what parts I need to replace and any instructions floating around on the internet.
Thanks!

for a start and this, quite some videos on YouTube on how to change the screen.

[READ THlS FlRST] POST QUESTIONS IN THE Q&A SECTION AND NOT HERE!!!

I did nearly exactly the same to my S3. I purchased a entire new screen/digitizer. I'm not safe changing a lightbulb, however I took the bull by the horns and managed to do it following a video from youtube combined with a ifixit breakdown.
I got mine from http://www.replacedirect.be/product...iii-s3-gt-i9300-lcd-screen-and-digitizer.html ... I opted not to even attempt changing just the glass, it's not really meant to be changeable.
The whole job took around 30 minutes... worked perfectly.
Sold the handset two weeks later and bought an S4

Isn't there a better way to do this than to use a hair dryer?

Buy a new digitizer (glass) + SCREEN for about $180. Very easy install
Or buy a new Galaxy S3 it is even more easy to do :cyclops:

I remember that also, at the moment i hated my life so much because my glass was broken ;(
posted by Q master wooopidooooo

How about insurance on the phone? You dont have to fiddle around with it then plus it wont mess up your warrenty My screen is broke but since I had it insured Im not worried just had to wait for the access to drop from £70 to £30

i would say it's normal because that's just how the screen of S4 is. on my S4 also banding is visible especially on gray color. you might try to change phone for another one but think hard before doing it because you might get phone with screen that looks even worse.

Its not normal... I have this problem before with my previous galaxy and samsung replaced it for a new one..

http://oi42.tinypic.com/2r5ysux.jpg

I have that problem too, but didn't notice until about 3 months after purchase. Samsung doesn't replace with a new one, but a refurbished one, and who knows what problems a refurbished one will eventually happen. Anyone ever figure out if this was normal or not? Seems to be a lot of people with this issue if you do a simple Google search. It doesn't really bother me unless I'm on a gray screen.

I had the same problem on my Galaxy S5 too (horizontal lines)
goodbye Super AMOLED Display !!! :victory:
goodbye samsung !!! :victory:
I bought a LG G3 today http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3 :good:
