hello,
today i gave my i9506 in repair for changing display unit. the man in the shop i gave it to said that there is no difference between i9506 and i9505 when repairing the display and they will build the i9505 into it. but i read somewhere that there is a small difference. do you know about that? because i am confused now and scared that they will break my device

Hey
If I were you, I would contact Samsung support by mail or phone and ask them if this statement is true. I could believe it's possible, but again you never know when it comes to Samsung. They could have changed a little bit...
Regards.

Done. The Support couldnt give me an answer on my question.. I will see what happens.
U can compare the devices on different internet sites and u will see that there is NO difference between those displays
well, there might be no difference, but actually, yes there was ! o:
i got it back yesterday, and it worked for 1.5 hours with restarting whole time and than it was dead and didnt boot normal or into recovery or download mode.
Now they have to reapair it better.. with i9506 display that will work 100%

yes.. they have differences.. if you control the codes on the seller sites you can see that they are different and incompatibles. it seems also that i9506 is a little brighter and larger. anyway the product codes are different
Hello.
So? Is there any happy ending?
I have changed display from i9505 too. and Phone is hanging, turning off and overheating...
Im interested if this is because of different display or because phone was wet when damaged display...
update: removed Antenna + Loudspeaker. phone still hot. but works now. So i do not believe that it is because of screen....

hey, nice to hear that it might not be the screen, for me the result is still unknown. My device was not working after letting them put i9505 display in it. It worked for quite an hour, than it restarted very very often and suddenly it didnt do anything at all. No Download mode or recovery mode too.
The shop said, that the software was completely deleted for no reason. but they flashed the firmware again but the problem with rebooting and after all having a "dead" device was still there. Now they are trying to find whats cauing this problem, and the will send it to samsung if they dont have a plan what it could be ( but i definetly know, that it has to do something with the screen, because earlier, befrore the display change, EVERYTHING worked fine!).
Im so excited how it will end, and especially, who is going to pay, if samsung has to repair what the shop has done wrong
Its really interesting....
I think they could break something when disassembling screen... It was quite difficult to remove some flexible cables as they were stick to screen.
If you have Samsung warranty then you can take only to Samsung dealers to repair, otherwise you loose warranty. That's how it is in my country.
update: My s4 was dead for half a day. but now fully working. have already flashed recovery and rooted... works like a charm
(it were restarting sometimes, after rooting restarts somehow have stopped)

finally i think (and i hope) i got a solution. Thex have ordered a i9506 display unit and finally understood that theyve done something wrong. now they will try to fix it and see if the fault was caused by the screen or not ^^ in some days i will now more
Well after trying to learn a bit about difference between i9505 and i9506 and shv-e330s i came to a conclusion that they might be the same device if samsung didnt magically decide to complicate things. I9505 and i9506 have different hardware and their displays are obviously not interchangeable. But, nowhere on the entire frickin internet was i able to understand is i9506 actually shv-e330s. Or are their screens compatible. So i asked samsung like this:
Hello! I would like to ask is there a possibility to replace a broken display on SHV-E330S S4. My father purchased the phone in South Korea and brought it to Croatia, but the phone fell and broke the LCD display. I am trying to find the display for SHV-E330S but I cant find any on the internet. My questions are - can I order a replacement display from Samsung directly? Or can I use the display for i9506 S4? They seem to be same variations regarding hardware inside, except for the DVB tuner antenna for SHV-E330S. Thank You in advance for Your answer.
Their response was just that they cant offer service outside of korea and that they are very sorry. Havent even mentioned the question about i9506 and shv-e330s.
So there ya go. You got shv-e330s outside korea? No help.
different screens
Hello there,
yes it is a different screen
I suppose it is interchangeable because I9500 or I9505 screen (I can't remember exactly) is working fine on my phone. BTW, I got the part and replaced by myself.
But, please note if they replaced your front panel as well, probably your MB was damaged. The front panel is a different one.

Hey,
Yes there seems to be a problem, at least you cannot use a i9506 screen on a i9505 Phone.
Seems to be a Problem with the connector, because the screen works until somewhat applies too much force on the conector (not much, just a tip with the finger is enough), like the backcase does when it is clipped back on. So the connectors might differ on the on the models. Hope this helps someone.

I sanded down the raised metal bit on the right of the motherboard mounting area. It fits almost but I have that pressure issue. Do you have more info so I can figure out what connector is pushed

Hey guys...
So, I have my Desire Z since about 4 weeks and nothing went wrong with it.
Really NOTHING bad happened, it didn't fall on the floor, didn't fall into water, etc etc.
So this afternoon I unlocked it and suddenly I got a blank grey screen.(worked perfect in the morning) The phone did react to my power up/on button, but I couldn't see what I was doing. Also the touchscreen worked, because I could unlock it (I heard the unlock noise) but I only get a blank grey screen.
I tried Bootloader and Battery pull. Also I took out my SD/SIM/Battery and just blow through the whole phone but nothing want to happen:-(
By the way, my phone is fully rooted and running on Cyanogenmod7 since 5 days. Everything worked perfect until this afternoon...
EDIT:
Looks just like this http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f368/forthcomingtangent/DSCI1196.jpg
C'mon guys:-(
So is it grey from bootup till it gets to the rom or can you see your boot splash screen and whatnot?

Yes, when I boot it up it's grey, I notice that it's still working because I get the bootup noise. So I can see nothing. But what I noticed is that the grey screen gets a kinda bluegrey screen while the cyanogenmod7 boot animation(the loop)
Sounds like a hardware issue to me, I'd send it in for warranty if I could. Plus, with your screen being the issue I doubt they would check for something like S-off or anything like that
sounds to me like the ribbon cable for the screen has either broken or not placed in its socket properly, does it make a difference when the keyboard is open? try opening it and closing it a few times... watch the screen. otherwise it could be a fault with the screen board or the screen itself
i would try and claim off warrenty or insurance
No it does no difference when the keybaord is open:-(
Problem at the whole thing is, that I have no warranty because I bought it at amazon.com
you either have to see how much htc will charge to repair it, or take it apart yourself and just check the cables... if any are loose then refit them... or buy a new screen, vga board and ribbon cable and fit it
How much would the last option cost?
And how much do you guys think HTC will chare to repair it?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OEM-SLIDE-FLE...944?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a10708cb8
something like that if its the ribbon cable.... but that gives you the whole kit
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Touch-Screen-...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2a0fd454a5
thats the digitizer but i dont think youll need that but just in case
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GENUINE-H...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2eb3f529d0
thats the screen
but in fairness your better off taking it to a repair shop and getting a price... if you havnt got a warrenty then you dont have to worry about loosing one
Wow thanks, you're really helping me.
So I found a warranty document, since I bought it over amazon.com from another seller(mobilejoker) and it says that they'll repair me my device if it is defect and not my fault. But they also charge 40$ if it's an obvious damage made by myself. Well, I don't know, it wasn't my fault right? I mean it's not like it dropped in water or fell on the floor.
looks to me like its the ribbon cable or the vga board for the screen, as long as you havnt dropped it in liquid, on the ground or opened it up then it cant be your fault... id go with the warrenty first before you open it up
Hit the thanks button please matey
Done
And thanks again for your help.
alrite glad i could help, if you get stuck or if the warrenty doesnt work come back
hey guys I'm having a very similar issue on my phone, I bought a screen on ebay from a USA seller, as well as a flex cable cus both were damaged in my phone. I've got both of those installed and the phone boots up, gives off noises and vibrates like his did, but no video. Backlight lights up, but just black. I've been googling a lot and apparently the grey screen is just a precursor to what I have. Where exactly is the VGA board? is it on the main logic board? does it need a reflow like some laptop chipsets?
Hey guys I just thought I give you a quick update.
So I got my device back, it's working perfect and I didn't have to pay anything for it.
I'm just a bit confused, because my phone now is totally unrooted, and I always thought that root hurts your warranty.
Anyways, thanks for your help!!

Either they gave you a new phone or...
They replaced the screen (or samaged parts) and wiped or perhaps upgraded to newest stock.
Do you still have all your info and apps that were previously on it?
What version of android does it show in about, and which hboot do you have now?

Well it's just like it was when I bought it, 2.2.1, only google apps, had to configure sim again no sms, etc.. But my phone is definitely now new because there are my scratches on the back of the phone.

I didn't quite understand your reply, lol sry, but I did see one big clue....2.2.1. Which means you should have no problems rooting again.

I don't have any problems with rooting again, I was just saying that I was confused that I got my device repaired for free, although they unrooted my phone.
Straight to the point...
About a day before i had dirty flashed xenon 4.4.2 cm based over pa beta 5 and aosp zip for non caf support for cm rom....
After that used for about 1 hours my phone then suddenly got overheating...and when i decided to clean flash the rom and the phone was just about to reboot...The screen went white..And then after a few seconds it starts fading black from edges..and that it...i get nothing else...the phone boots up well i am able to receive calls and sound is also working just no display....when screen is on it just goes white then fades....that is..nothing else...
Any idea whats the issue, which part damaged how to recovery?
Has any1 else suffered from this issue.....

it gets into the fastboot....but no display...i didnt tried it...but i dont think it will fix it...and if it doesnt fixes then ill loose the recovery...so didnt do that...
I dont think that factory resetting and flashing stock rom will do...coz all that happens in recovery and i can see any think that just a white screen...sometimes faint....must be a display or a motherboard problem....
but when it comes to display it is not broken or got damaged....might be motherboard must be burnt...but if so then why will the cell boot up without issues...
are there any chances of screen damaging due to heat...?coz it has got heated and i got this problem...
And all functions are working even calls sms wifi....everything w/o issue...just no display..
Should think on it..
Can any1 detect where the problem is so that I can fix it...
If you can't buy a new screen assembly to troubleshoot whether that's a possible issue then the only thing I can think of is wiping the phone and flashing the google factory image.
Are you able to download this and flash it through the command line using fastboot?

Hey sturdy I hope your phone carries an Indian warranty !! If yes the best way is to flash back the factory image and get it to your nearest lg centre !!
If u are not covered under warranty lg guys charge around 4.8 k INR for front screen with digitalizer !! You get a screen replacement on eBay for around 2.5 k !! If its the motherboard it can burn a dent in your pocket !!

i dont have warranty....ok i need to detect the problem...so that i can fix it....You can read the previous posts i have written....
Anywayz firsstly i opened up my monster...cleaned the thermal paste..re-applied it....Ok nothing is burnt on motherboard....everything works even usb....my computer is reading the device....just no display thats it...i tried to disconnect the display and see...still everything works no heat up...
so it takes me towards the screen problem....
Now is there any chance to screen plug getting damaged from the motherboard.... there are just two slots i dont think it has any chance of damage...
And also the screen is responsive but not display...i can swipe and receive calls and everything....just no display...
So what is damaged ?
As there are two parts of screen..
This is the exact thing whats happening
After a lot of research...i found that from the three parts which i thought i had problem with is that...lcd digitizer and gpu...
there is no digitizer issue...after my research...now left if lcd might have burnt out or gpu might have burnt out...

I'm really guessing here but like I said before, i'd say restore the factory image from Google to see if there's any software issues at play like a kernel issue.
At least then (if that doesn't fix it) you have the option of either sending in the device to LG for a fix, giving it to a third party repair shop, or buying the screen assembly yourself and replacing it that way.
Like NABENDU1 said you can get one on ebay or other sites, find the tutorials on youtube and you already seem to have the necessary tools so that'd be the cheapest way.
Though i'd say make sure you get the whole assembly to make replacing it easier, or it can get quite fiddly.
If it still doesn't work after that, then it may be a problem with the motherboard which would also need fixing.
Good luck figuring it out though.

The white ring stays even when it's off?
If you're sure you reconnected all the ribbons inside and wiping everything and flashing the factory image didn't solve the issue then it's safe to assume there's a hardware fault somewhere. Unless you or anyone else can think of what else it could be, it looks like it's time to try replacing the screen assembly.
Don't know where you'll be able to find one in India. Ebay might have one, aliexpress might also be worth a look, I saw one on there that ships to India from China for Rs. 4,070.40 / piece with free shipping.
Again good luck!

Hello, I actually have a small problem on my phone.. I searched for the solutions but I am unable to find a reliable fix.. Everybody has a quite different type of this problem..

SCREEN FLICKERING
Well, before I start I would like to say that my phone has actually survived a water bath.. The phone fell in the swimming pool when my friends were trying to click a pic.. It didn't switch on, on the same day, but I disassembled it completely, and let it dry for a week.. Later the phone worked completely fine.. It's been 3 months since the incident...
Well the problem now is the SCREEN FLICKERING.. I guess It has nothing to do with the water damage cause that was almost 3 months back and this problem started around a month ago, when I was on flyme 5. And nope, the phone has never fallen off my hands.. The phone works fine for maybe the first 30 minutes after keeping it idle for a long time... The screen flickers even during the bootup, fastboot, and even in recovery..
I have two Meizu m2 note in my home.. The other one is my mom's phone.. And I almost update same roms on both the phones.. And my mom's phone is working completely fine and not facing this problem.. I don't have a warranty for this anymore, but I can still give it to the company's service center.. The main reason I posted this thread is because I just wanna know if this is a software or a hardware problem.. Cause in few other threads they said that this had sumthng to do with the kernel and stuff.. I don't wanna leave my phone at a service center for 2 months if this is fixable at home..
Not the complete screen flickers, but only the upper top part of the screen..
I have attached a YouTube link for a perfect view of the screen.. The phone on the video is my phone..!

Well, I asked one the senior members of XDA, and got this reply.. yes, it was helpful...!
if your phone went in a pool and you disassembled it and made it working again, you might have forgotten to re-sit the cables / cables connectors, and the more you use the phone, the looser it gets....
Considering you said 3 months (and I'll assume India is a humid country), this might be a connector having corrosion too (I know it happens a lot to my cousin in the Caribean islands).
If that flickering keeps happening even after you check cables and corrosion, I guess (considering meizu parts are cheap) your only solution is to change the LCD screen (as this is a miniature part, some water can get stuck in really tiny/enclosed space and make a short-circuit/corrosion).
Assuming this happened 3 months after the "pool drama" ( ) you should probably be able to repair your phone, the board works, the battery works, if it's not the cables or corrosion, it's the LCD display.. And if all that doesn't work, contact Meizu

Well, I asked one the senior members of XDA, and got this reply.. yes, it was helpful...!
if your phone went in a pool and you disassembled it and made it working again, you might have forgotten to re-sit the cables / cables connectors, and the more you use the phone, the looser it gets....

I'm soo sorry I did not inform you about this! :victory:
Well, it was just like u said.. I disassembled the phone completely and found salt like white powder all over the motherboard.. Even inside the cable connectors!
Soo I cleaned it up using a soft brush with some liquid..
Blew some pressurized air with a small air gun I have, just to remove the small dust contents.. I also noticed that the connectors have turned brownish in some parts. . But..!
The flickering has almost reduced 90%..! Before it flickered all day long and now it happens only once or twice a day..! That too only for 5 to 10 minutes..!
Well it's okay now.. I didn't spend any money, or give it to the service center and wait for weeks..
Thank you @Moyster.. I wud have never even tried this if u didn't tell me to.. I was planning on giving it to the company itself.. Haha... :fingers-crossed:
Hi, im the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S4, and yesterday I broke the LCD Screen , but all the other functions work, like the little notification light, etc. The shop I normally go to charge me 150C$ to repair the screen,m and I tought it was a bit excesive considering I can buy replacement kit off Ebay for like 80C$. I wanted to have your feedback on my idea to do it myself and also I'm having trouble finding the right screen. I have a SGH-M919V a canadian model and I didn't see any screen specific to that model, only M919 screen, so does it gonna work if I put an M919 lcd screen on my M919V ?
Thank you !

It's sadly annoying to change the screen on galaxy S phones. You have to start from the back and basically tear the entire phone down.
There is a guide on ifixit for tearing it down but these kits im seeing on ebay for 75 seem to be ones that need glued in since they aren't the entire display assembly. I would look over that guide and see if your comfortable with that sort of stuff. It may be worth it for you to just pay the 150 vs potentially messing your phone up in the process. The other option is sell the phone and get a S5/S6 or some other upgrade?
Alright, thank you for your help and your quick answer ! I'm still in reflexion about all this, but you certainly help the process.
Thank you again !
Actually, I find the s4 to be very easy to take apart. I have repalced the screens on 4 phones with no problem.
If you buy a replacement screen, make sure you get a pre-assembled frame/lcd/glass unit. It's easy to damage the frame when you remove it from the old screen and having the frame pre-installed is not too much more than the cost of the lcd/glass.
Hi. I have a rather weird story please read it. So, some months ago my Note 4 died and it wouldnt turn on anymore with no signs of life. Itried it with a friend's battery and it still wouldnt turn on so i thought that the problem might be with the motherboard so i bought a new motherboard from china. The problem is that even iwth the new motherboard that i just replaced my phone stilll wouldnt turn on! What might have i done wrong? Please help
It's possible you haven't reconnected all the connectors especially one or both of those on the back of the motherboard that click into place.
It's also possible that the failure is for another reason other than the motherboard.
My SM-N910F has recently failed with no prior warning with no indication what's causing the problem. I've tried adding the padding on the eMMC chip trick but that doesn't work for me.
can you please show me where the 2 connectors that need to click are?
