[Q] Need a serious help, SPH-l720 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA developers
For all who got experience and information about digitizera and screen especially for Galaxy S4
I got a SPRINT Galaxy S4 which unfortunately i cracked its screen and got confused about what is compatible and what is not in terms of cable length or any other compatible parts , fitting correctly etc..
So my question is
Does this phone requires only Sprint Galaxy s4 screen and digitizer or any common galaxy s4 screen can be replaced ?
Any further information can really help.
Please help, googled it but have not got a crystal clear answer, so i refered to XDA forums
( what i mean by screen is: digitizer + outer screen)
Special thanks for all repliers

For me, it would work if you got any US variant version of the part, I have replaced my tmobile variant screen with a at&t part, but if you cant find the US version of the part, try finding the i9505 parts, that model mirrors the US variant of the phone

I have no heard if anyone has tried with different variant parts on a sprint s4, i would recommend asking some local phone shops or doing some research on google for the answer.

I think all of these are made in China , the only way you can get an original is to buy a broken phone and salvage from it or order direct from Samsung Service centers
thanks xsenman. Would Samsung send me a replace for the screen if I call or write them? These chinese LCD are good for replacement?

as long as you are willing to pay their price, samsung should/would supply spare parts in their service centers ..need to quote their part number or visit them personally ...china parts will be china parts..but will never be the original as samsung would never supply parts in this manner .
on the other-hand china parts should work too

[Q]

I dropped my Galaxy S4 (i9505) and the screen was broken, also touch is not working.
My question: is the replacement screens for i9500 compatible with i9505?
I see Amazon selling replacement screens that says they are compatible for both models, but the local dealer says that they are not compatible, and I'm waiting for the display part to arrive since 15 days now (I'm not in the US)
Any help is appreciated.

The screens seem to be the same for all S4 variants, scource http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Samsung-...reen-Digitizer-Touch-Lens-White-/230982528483.

[Q] Will an i9500 LCD screen work on an I9502 duos?

I realise this is a hardware question, but someone here might be able to answer or perhaps has the ability to check the Samsung part numbers.
I have an I9502 Duos which was sourced from HK.
The LCD has cracked and getting one from HK is a long and laborious process.
The i9500 shares the Exynos chipset with the i9502 and it occurred to me that it's possible if I hunt down an I9500 the screen from that may work.
I've got data on my I9502 and currently no way to get at it unless I can get the screen working again.
Ideas?

Anyone?
In general, the actual display of the various S4 models is identical. The sticking point is that the midframes on all of them are different. So you should be able to buy a I9505 screen and replace your I9502 screen with it. The I9505 screen however must NOT be bonded to a midframe, and you'll need to peel the broken screen off the I9502 midframe to do the switch. When you remove the broken screen, you need to keep as much of the old adhesive you can, as the replacement screens don't include replacement adhesive to bond the new screen to the midframe. To be on the safe side, you might want to purchase some of that adhesive off Amazon or a similar site.

Samsung Galaxy S4 - Screen looks burned, but still functional [Image Attached]

Hi there, a friend gave me this phone whose screen appears to be burnt, but still functional. I just wanted to verify if the proper fix for this is to buy an LCD replacement.
Also, I noticed that online websites that sell LCD replacements mention the carrier of the phone. That brings me to the question, do I need to purchase a replacement with the same carrier or just the same model (SGH-I337M in this case)?
Thank you.

The att version of the s4 is compatible with the i337m.
You may be better off finding a used screen because a real Samsung replacement screen is not cheap.

I read here last week or two saying all versions of note 3 have the same screen. Hence it should be able to be fixed any where. Or am I missing you point?.

thanks for the response. i thought so too, but the Samsung repair guys in Slovakia claimed they ordered a spare part LCD screen from Samsung and then told me that despite best efforts they were unable to install it as it is not the same part as for the single-SIM version.
i think the thread you are referring to is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780299 but it just says that a LCD between 'normal' (single SIM) versions of a Note 3 for T-Mobile and Sprint is the same.
on the other hand, i found for example this: http://www.cellphonerepairshop.com/n9000lcddigitizerblackr/ - the part description it says it fits both a N9000 (which is what I understand to be the 'standard' version) and the N9002. so, i am confused - would have expected the official Samsung guys to be the authority on what fits and what doesn't....
purely from a common sense perspective, I would have expected the part to be the same, but maybe there's the issue of a second antenna or something somehow being included in the assembly, no clue.

Right. That's the 1. If that's the case, really fussy.
