anyone have a part numbers for the screen?
dont need the frame assembly
is the digitzer and lcd just one part or built together?
when i watch the videos i only see one cable that plugs into the motherboard and that cable at the other end looks like it goes to just the lcd
there has to be a digitizer somewhere dont there?
will the same screen for a gsm gs4 work on the sprint cdma gs4?
thanks for any info you might have

yea they just made it cost alot more $$$ if you have just a phone with a bad digitizer as you now "have" to by the assembly wich is at the minimum the lcd and digitizer
you can get the frame assembly which is a little more
anyhow for the SPH-L720 its around $175-$200 and on the I9500 GSM version which is ATT and probably Tmobile their screen assembly go as low as $75
sure would like to know of the screens can interchange
looks like on ebay that the SPH-L720 isnt included on the one thats say I9500 but maybe that is only because the phone is new?

You can NOT interchange the screens! The breakdown is like this,
1) Samsung I337, M919, I9505 all use one type of screen
2) Sprint S4, Verizon S4, US Cellular S4 share the same screen
3) The international version I9500 uses a different screen.

Thank you for actually being helpful.
You are welcome. I repair phones and I have to keep track of all the different models from Samsung. Some parts are common between the different variants but the LCD assembly is not one of them.

If I buy a sprint LCD with digitizer, will I be able to use it with my ATT version? I am trying to replace my screen and bezel since they are damaged.
If I buy the Sprint version, will a ATT sim work? I am thinking about bidding on this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-gal...ts_Tools&hash=item20d4064998&autorefresh=true
Let me know quick!
Anyone??
Only have 20 min to make a decision on whether or not to bid on this. Can anyone please help?
Someone hasn't responded because,
1) they haven't seen this thread.
2) nobody knows.
3) nobody has needed to replace theirs.
If you do buy it. Come back and let us know if it worked or not.

you probably could have found the answers doing some searching... but as with 99% of all other phones the AT&T SIM will not really work in the Sprint phone. You should be able to replace the screens between phones, but your best bet would be to find S4 teardowns of AT&T and Sprint phones online and see if the screens are the same. I would suspect the screen and body are the same, but the logic board and chips are different.
In order to find the answer, someone has to be the first to do it... that someone may be you, my friend.
What if I replaced my i337 board with one out of a i9505 s4. Would I have a unlocked bootloader meaning would it make it a i9505? I'm having problems with my s4 and I'm going to have to get a warranty replacement. Would this work? I'd rather get a parts phone and have a i9505 then send my phone in and have them send it back to me with mf3. Idk what I'd do if couldnt flash Roms with Loki.

I'm thinking that would not work just because the parts etc would not be compatible with each other. However if someone had different input, go ahead.

Seeing how close the two are I wouldn't see why not. Would be a worth while hard ware mod if it works.
Just get a s2 skyrocket and flash away. Cheaper than an s4 board and just about as fast.

I don't see why you won't be able to do this. The frame for the international version compared to the AT&T version should be the exact same. All the connections will be at the same place and all the parts should work. The only thing that is different is frequency. You won't get LTE but HSPA+.
The i9505 has LTE the only difference I know is the bootloader. Otherwise I don't believe there is any difference in hardware at all please correct me if I'm wrong.
With safestrap can I flash the HTC one port? This it's really the only reason I continue to keep using this phone in this condition (buying a HTC or any other phone is out the question)
Thanks guys BTW!

After reading in hear the OP sparked my search on Google for I9505 motherboard to purchase to install or have one installed. I came across the link below were this company does repairs of the I9505 model phone daily.its a pretty penny after you convert US$ into UK$ but still worth it . However after 6 emails back and forth between me and this company they insist that the phone is completely different and it will not work. I still think they are full of it.i dont see SAMSUNG making the motherboards different in shape to suit a different variant.
http://www.mobiledeviceworkshop.co....ard-main-board-replacement-service-1991-p.asp
Same specs across the board. Snapdragon 600.
Also the rep at the above company said thats like trying to mix the parts up between a I9505 and a I9500.
My research shows the I9500 has the snapdragon 800 and most definitely wouldn't work.duh

It has to do with the antenna and antenna connections between the motherboard and back casing. They are different. You would be lucky to get any signal and even luckier to not short out your board.

From where do you have this information?
I have a i337 from AT&T but my display broke some months ago. So I ordered a new one and I think the display was for the i9505 because when I opened it and looked on it from the back, on the right up corner, there was not enough space for the i337 motherboard.
The i337 motherboard has an (additional?) piece, which didn't fit into the display case.
On this picture, it's on the right side next to the "antenna contacts"
http://blog.brokenlcds.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/S4-antenna-contacts-coil-external-antenna.jpg
So I cut of the plastic from the display case and then it fitted and went well for a while with great signal.
But now for some days, I have a lot of singal loss and can hardly get more than 2 bars and I think it has to do something with these contacts.
Does anyone has a suggestion what I could do?

This video is the how to on what you need to do in order to disassemble the G2 in order to remove the screen. There is a link provided for the reassembly in The video.
I was able to pick up a screen/digitizer/LCD from amazon for about 120. Make sure to pay attention to where it ships from. A lot of the sellers ship them from Asia and they take up to a month to come in. Mine came out of New York. Also the screen assemblies from OEM come with a kit with jeweler's screwdrivers and plastic pry devices in order to disassemble the phone or at least mine did.
Last in the video he uses a heat gun at some points. I did not need one throughout any of the process but may make it easier for you.
All in all I took me about an hour and a half to swap my screen out. Works like a charm.

Hi there. I just broke my digitizer, but the screen is fine. I read somewhere that you have to replace them both because they are glued together, do you know if this is true? I have a heat gun if that is needed to separate them. I would just like to purchase a digitizer only and replace that, to save about $60+.

yes you can get digitizer but if you make the slightest mistake you end up breaking the lcd and will have to replace them both

yea plus my advice is from personal experience I had already tried it and ended up paying more since I had to buy the lcd plus digitizer
Not sure what the price would be to just replace screen/digitizer. the part would run about 30 bucks, just not sure what a repair shop would charge for labor. If its over 150 though i would opt the DIY method as it is simple to do if you get a screen/digitizer/lcd all in one. I did it for 120 and some change. Mine also came with a tool kit in order to dismanlte the phone.
hi friend, i have a LG VS980 Verizon, Is it the same part for vs980 and d80x? in my country im only able to get D80x version of screen and sellers are not sure if the parts are compatible, I have seen several videos and pictures of the online stores of spare parts, and at first glance are the same connectors.

I couldn't vouch for that. A good place to start though might be to compare specs of each phone, V980 to D80X, specifically the display properties. Not sure but there may be a good breakdown out there of what the specs are for each, not just a dimension and pixel count.

Hi this isn't a software issue. But just a question
I recently broke my i337 lcd and the screen broke inside. At first half the screen was lit but than it went completely dark. So i sent it to samsung and they said the price to fi it was "$161.84". I cant pay that much. I might as well get a moto G 2nd gen, least it has an unlocked bootloader lol. But anyways does anyone know where i can get the cheapest lcd replacement. Or anyone here has a spare used one that works for me to buy off of. Idc as long as it works. Ebays a bit expensive as well.

Your Galaxy S4 does not use an LCD screen, it uses an OLED or 'AMOLED' screen. These are expensive to manufacture. Unfortunately, that's just the way it is.

Hey guys, so it's a known issue that lg g2 to have dead zones on their touch with common region in the sim card area.
Thinking of ordering just the digitizer from alixpress for 5 bucks. But should I only replace the digitizer or lcd as well? The screen is perfect.
Got the phone used and was my stupidity I didn't check the touch on the touch.
Wut do.. Just digitizer or lcd as well

If you're skilled then Order only digitizer otherwise go with whole panel. Bcos Screen is attached to the digitizer and if mess up something, entire Display won't be of no use.
Sometimes few extra bucks would be easy solution. Or contact some local shop who can do it for you.
Its not few additional bucks man, it like whole another 50 bucks for the combo. I got the mobile for 150usd!
Will not do it myself, going to get it done by a local mobile guy.
Thanks for the opinion. As it seems it's possible just to get the digitizer and not the lcd
