Screen cracked help! Need to know what broke. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Unfortunately, I have broken my phone accidentally. What I mean by this is that the screen under the glass cover is cracked and won't show any image. The S4 i9505 is on and working but the screen remains black. When I press the lock button and home key button, the light for the back and options button at the bottom of the phone next to the home button light up but not the screen. I know that there's a crap on the screen under the glass protector but why does the lights turn on? Is that the digitizer which is broken or the LCD screen. I'm really clueless. Someone please assist me and tell me where I can find a really cheap replacement please! I've checked eBay and it costs a ton!
Cheers.

It costs a ton...........and a half (£150).Buying cheaper stuff can lead to false economy/disaster.

if theres no crack on the actual screen then it could be a loose wire inside the phone. go in a dark room and see if the screen backlight is lit when you wake the phone

[Q] Is my HD2 faulty?

hi
As soon as i make a phone call my screen goes off, now on my iphone it used to do this only when the light sensor was covered. to bringthe screen back on I have to press one of the black buttons in the bottom of the phone, is this a fault?
I had this problem after fitting a screen protector. removing it solved the issue for me.
The genuine HTC Screen protectors have 2 holes in for the sensors. I can confirm this does not affect the screen when making a call.
Are you using a screen protector which doesn't have a hole for the proximity sensor etc?
It may be it can't function right as it maybe seeing the protector as something close to the sensor, hence why the screen goes off.
I have a Vidocq screen protection and the phone wake up again when I finish the call...

In call screen problem HELP!!!!

During a call
When a call is in progress, a shade covers the Phone dialer’s onscreen buttons to prevent accidental taps. Only the Keypad and End Call buttons are active.
Well for some strange reason this is no longer the case with my HD2, the shade is no longer there and all buttons are active without having to pull down which is annoying the hell out of me as I keep pressing random buttons with my cheek, anywhere in settings to turn this back on? I cant find it grrrrr!!!!

Have you installed BsBTweaks? If so, you've de-selected the Phone Slide Cover option.
Nope, no bsb tweeks, its really odd, and i cant find it on the settings page, oh well, was due another hard reset anyway!
Do you have screen protector? . If yes, take it out. And your problem is solved . Plz notify me . If you have a screen protector its not necessary, it will not correct your problem to make hard reset. If not..then we will what we can do for you
I have a different problem? When I make or receive a call as soon as I accept, the screen goes dark and I cannot see the display. I can tap any button and then it shows the display. Can I change that to c the display all the time? On my iPhone, it would go dark when I place the phone to my ear, but once I removed the phone from my ear, the display would be there. Thanks!

Man, do you have a screen protector yes or no ?. Because i had the same problem. Look mate, in the HTC there are two sensors. It is on the left as you watch the phone. Sometimes the screen protector becomes dirty, then this brings problem to the sensors. So, if you have screen protector please remove it, so i guess that it will work like the Iphone after. When you have the phone at your ear, the screen becomes black. When you remove it from your ear the screen appears. Did you understand me ?. If you dont have screen protector then we will see. Plz notify me.

Antonios76: Thank you very much for trying to help me and providing the information.
I do not have a screen protector on my HD2. I also keep my screen very clean, too.

Replaced cracked screen, now the lcd won't turn on!!

So I just replaced the LCD/digitizer/frame of my G2 and for some reason now the screen doesn't show anything. When I turn on the phone the screen lights up but it stays black. Is this a bad lcd or is it bad connecting/wiring on my part?
Here is a video to show what is going on

I am not sure if you can see it but when I touch the screen, it recognizes my touch and has that "lighting effect" similar to when you touch the screen of a cracked phone.
Bump, I'm desperate for help
I guess no one has an idea?

S6Edge+ cracked screen, wake up problems

i have a S6 Edge+ and its got a cracked screen. it has a big black spot the size of a fingertip on the right middle like something stabbed it maybe.
sometimes when i got to wake it up, phone is on and i press the power button the lights on the bottom come on, the cascade window button and the back button............but the screen does not light up. it kind of flickers and i see the permanent damaged part, a green strip down the right side of screen but does not turn on.
sometimes i have to press the power button to wake up and put to sleep 6 or 10 times for the screen to light up.
my question:
do you think this is simply from the screen being damaged.
have you seen anything like this before on a phone
do you think if i spend the money to fix the screen this issue will be fixed?

Yes.
Yes, on my son's Xperia Z5 Compact. He hadn't dropped it or damaged it in any way - just happened.

Fixed by Sony, phone is insured.
Yes, take it to Samsung store to repairing.
Ok, I have booted into safe mode and the problem does not exist. this means its a sofware issue, obviously. Here is the dilemma, I have done factory and hard resets to include the cache partition. How might i go about fixing this issue until they release a new update from android 5.1.1???
Can anybody tell me what core we use to put the touchwiz snappier, I saw one one topic but I can't find it now. We only have to put the code and the phone was so quick like the day we Unbox the phone. Thanks

Screen replaced, problem when blocking screen

Bought a screen on ebay, took it to a friend that replaced it soo bad that he even cracked it.
Other than that the screen is ok.
But there is a problem when I block the screen pressing the power button, after pressing it again to resume what I was doing it won't turn on.
I mean, it turns on but with stripes and lines black and white.
Initially is all black, then it turn slowly white. the touch digitizer is working but the lcd has serious problems.
Turning completely off the phone reset this.
Someone can help me find out what it can possibly be?
Some wrong contacts?
Thanks so much
Did you fix it?
My D802 after two years of display replacement, started to perform laggy and I can't unlock the screen once it is locked. I can see a low white light in the background but the display dont turn on.
