There's some on ebay, but you need to make sure you get the right one(model D801? D802? VS980?):
http://www.ebay.com/sch/Replacement-Parts-Tools-/43304/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=LG+G2+screen+-g2x
None of them list VS980, so if it's a Verizon phone you may be out of luck on ebay.
ETA: Seeing that you posted from a Verizon Note II, I'm thinking you're out of luck unless you go through Verizon. If you paid full price for the phone with a good credit card, you can get a full refund and buy another one. Amex and Discover will take care of you. If you bought it subsidized, they'll only give you back $199 or whatever you paid for it, and I think they'll want the phone sent to them as well. Good luck.

Thank you for the information. I bought it through Verizon. I guess I'll have to wait until a replacement comes out for their model. Thanks again for the information, have a blessed day

It very well could be the same screen for all models(except for the Verizon logo), and the resellers just don't know it. Or, the ribbon cables could be completely different. You'll probably have to wait awhile until VS980 screens are available, or someone does tear downs of all variants to find out which, if any parts, are interchangeable.

similar problem here with a Verizon LG G2. These new phones are too sexy for cases, but I've learned my lesson. Nice idea with a credit card refund, but I bought it subsidized unfortunately.
Looks like my LCD is ok underneath the screen, but I still don't see any stand alone panels/digitizers for a VS980 -- only for a D801 (AT&T). Several on ebay, as you have noted.
OP: if your LCD is broken as well there's a D801+VS980 LCD/digitizer combo available at gounlock .com. Is the fact that this vendor lists both the D801 and VS980 together evidence that a D801 digitizer would be compatible with my current VS980 LCD?
Thanks!

Would a t-mobile store sell me a broken g2 so I can repair my phone?

Just wondering if anyone works at or knows of any stores that might do this, Or how I should go about asking my local t-mo store. Or is this a waste of time?
Thanks for the help
I'm not sure about T-Mobile (as I live in Canada) but there are many semi-working Desire Z/G2 devices available on eBay for insanely low prices...
yea I saw some but the place doesn't ship internationally on Canadian addresses
You can bet your life that tmobile will NOT sell you a used/broken phone. They will only sell you a shiny new phone in a box.

Brand new g2 for sale!

So I did an insurance clsim on my g2 and they told me it was on back order and didn't know when they would have it. So needing a phone I just went and picked up the g2x. Then the next day the g2 shows up at my house. So now I have a new g2 that I need to sell. But I had to pay 130 for the claim so I need to sell it for atleast that preferrably more. A local phone store offered me 165 for it but I thot I should see if one of my fellow xda members wanted it first. If your interested send me an offer either in the post or pm me. Thanks guys, later

I dunno, I'm pretty sure mine was brand new from a warranty replacement from Tmobile. It came with android 2.2 still on it and if it is a refurb they did such a good job I can't tell. Also, they told me, "We'll send you a new or like new device", so isn't it possible to get a brand new one from leftover stock?

It is possible, but i was under the impression tmo no longer stocked new g2's and obly had refurbs for replacements.
On a side note which band differs between the dz and g2?

It is called a deductible. You pay it when you file a claim with any insurance (auto, homeowners, mobile)

I see, well maybe they have a stock of new ones they never sold or possibly it is a refurb and they put 2.2 on it assuming you'll update it after powering up. Either way I couldn't tell the difference, it's a flawless refurb if that is in fact what it is.
I'm not 100% that all DZ's have the same radio but one from Roger's Canada will work on AT&T 3G, not sure about HSPA+ though and the G2 functions on TMo. Vague answer I know, but it's all I have right now.

I know they differ, the dz up here is from bell, tho most of us dz users up north are with rogers thank god for the sim unlock

Yeah it would most likely get edge only. That's what happens if you put a G2 on AT&T so I would expect similar results if you put one on Rogers
Sent from my Bulletproof G2
the difference between the rogers/bell DZ and the tmo G2 is the 3G band it supports. the tmo version only supports tmo's 3g bands (2 bands, 1 for up and 1 for down) while the rogers/bell support 3 (i think), one of which is compatible with AT&T's 3G band.
that and the G2 does not have Sense while the DZ comes with sense 2.1
i think that's about all the real differences between them.
Sounds like this would be a great 3G device for anyone in Canada on wind or Mobilicity (it is really hard to find a good android with a keyboard in Canada that works with Mobilicity and Wind).....I'm getting 3G data with my T-Mobile G2 on Mobilicity.

no because i didnt do an insurance claim.. i did a warranty echange through tmobile, but paid for it. i actually think i found a way to get a new fone cheaper than paying the $130. see if u call t-mo and tell them something is wrong with ur fone and u want to do a warranty exchange, they send u a new device (or refurb or w.e they send.) u send ur old one back and if they determine that it was something u did to the phone, they only charge u $105 to ur account. now u got a new phone for $30 dollers cheaper than insurance. well it seems my forum has stranded away from its origin. is anyone interested in this phone or jus determining whether its new or refurbed. lol
Id be interested in buying it off you depending on how much more than 130 you want..I'm still using a g1 and would love to upgrade to this phone as I've wanted to for a while
Dudes rockin a G1, sell it to him for the price of shipping, its only fair! everyone deserves a G2!

All i can say sell it to the store if no one want to give you 165 and up .
if you get no love here, put it on ebay, my brand new sealed G2 cost me $325 to my door last month! - and that is a typical amount they bring there.
I'd buy it for my girlfriend but I already spend WAY too much money on women!
SOLD IT GUYS THANX

LCD Digitizer replacement for [GT-i9020T]

Greetings,
My cousin cracked his phone, he is back home in Nepal, so its probably an international version.
He gave me the imei number, and said the phone model is model is nexus s gt- i9020t.
I found this on ebay, i think it will work ~$130ish
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320769971247
(NEW Samsung Google Nexus S I9020 lcd display touch digitizer screen assembly USA)
I still rock the TP2 on sprint, so I have no clue about this phone.
Can somone with similar experience please guide me.
I am guessing both LCD and Digitizer needs to be replaced. He is gonna take it to a tech to get it fixed, just that he cannot find the parts there.
will appreciate any help, just need to get the part by the 18th of Dec, so i can send it back with my dad.
p.s. $130 is pretty insane, and Samsung actually said it would be $170 to fix. but this is a bad a$$ phone

Thanks d_phekt, knowing that this is the T-mobile Nesus S helps a lot.
This item is going half way across the world, so I want to be sure I am buying the correct item. Looks like the item i posted above, will be compatible (http://www.ebay.com/itm/320769971247).
======
I9020T - T-mobile, any GSM network, 3G might not work (AT&T customers will have "edge" only data connection)
I9020A - AT&T, any GSM network, 3G might not work (T-mobile customers buy I9020T, otherwise "edge" only for data)

Really? $170 samsung fixed mine ended up being $119 still pricy
I was going to fix myself but glass is fused to screen with special adhisive
Also carefull ordering whole screen assembly you want samoled not slcd for i9020t
If they say lcd I wouldn't trust
Do your self favor send to samsung for repair
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I don't know what is going on with my Nexus S, is the third time I change the SLCD digitizer and the touch is not working. By the way mine is i9023 and also the SLCDs I got are for i9023. I'm just courious for i9020 model, does someone got it fixed.
Cheers,
So I heard back from my cousin, he said he had a tech replace it for him.
Everything is working fine, but he was saying his Bluetooth stopped working lol.
I think it might be the ROM he is using ,than an actual hardware issue, due to replacing the LCD.
anyhow, thanks for the help.

Non-existent. They are amazing screen protectors and it is difficult to even tell you have one on when it sets.

Yes this is tru. If your half way decent with wet install protectors, you will be fine. Had one on a T959 awhile back and you could not even tell it was installed.

I'm glad you appreciate it They really are the only SP company that gets my business unless I can find a cheap Zagg.
The customer service is also great. When I had my unlocked Droid 3, they accidentally sent me a protector for a Droid 2 (it looked like) all I had to do is contact them, and with no questions asked they sent me not 1, but TWO replacements for the D3.
The only other issue I ran into was when I ordered one awhile back for my Atrix HD, it must have gotten wet or something in the envelope and was stuck to the instructions they provide. Again, all I had to do was contact them and they took care of me :good:
Their excellent customer service, price, and quality keeps me coming back for SP's for all of my and my gf's devices!
Enjoy them!
"80off3" still works as well if you need 3 or more...
Great Find!! thanks for posting, just took care of 3 devices for $5 bucks including shipping
I got mine today in the mail (well yesterday but checked the mail today) and I'll start first by saying they feel really durable...which is good.
On that note, though, they are BY FAR the most pain in the @ss protectors I've EVER tried to apply in my entire life. I gave up on the Kindle Fire one and just left it slightly off on the screen protector. It's manufactured to go to the EXACT edge, which sure you can argue is a good thing, but it makes it nearly impossible to apply correctly. I'm a perfectionist, and I usually can get these things on by the 2nd or 3rd attempt and get them perfect. The GS3, just the back cover, I literally spent so far about an hour and a half applying it. Just finished, finally, after many many curse words. Debating even bothering doing the screen portion for my GS3.
I told my wife she has to do her own because I'm going to end up throwing her phone.
Amazing deal thank you sooo much!
question:
I still have spray solution from an old skinomi screen protector I had installed, can I use that one to apply this one?
Great post OP. Got 2x full body protectors for my Galaxy Note 2 for only $5 shipped! Thanks

Porting S3 to S4

I'm just curious if this is possible. I repair phones all the time and the parts are reasonably priced, I just replaced the Sim card tray in my S3, but I'm wondering if I can take my S3 and make it into an S4. I have prepaid so I have to pay ungodly amounts of money to buy a new phone if I want it. So paying $700 to buy an S4 is out of the question. Through doing a search I have been able to find some parts for the S4 and the phones themselves don't look very different in terms of shape and size with the exception of the back cover and where everything is placed on the motherboard. Could I technically buy the parts to basically ''make'' an S4 and use my S3 body? Just a thought.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Uh.... No
The S3 and S4 have different components, and this also means that they have preinstalled drivers that are installed very deep in the system. These are not publicly released nor are they actually developable from scratch.
There are also multiple more sensors that the S4 has like infrared, and has a hyper-sensitive touchscreen.
But another option which is a very difficult DIY but very fun is to get all the parts from newegg and put together a stock android design. But you can't actually make some other company's phone from parts you find on the internet. Just your own
Whatever you want to do have fun.☺
