Doesn't quite show if the Modem is a separate chip or onboard the 7420.
my 2 cents
Was just about to post this. Thanks!
The battery seems cumbersome to replace. I hate heating things up and removing the glass in fear of cracking it. However, once past that, it looks pretty standard. I'm glad there's no more glue underneath that all.
Being careful, it can be "easy" to change the battery

Parts list for SM-G920I
I wish it was a little easier to repair, ala the Nexus 4, which was rather simple to take apart. But really, anyone who has taken apart phones before shouldn't find it too difficult to repair this device. But it looks like most everything is soldered to the motherboard. What will happen if the usb port breaks?
Hi. I just broke my S6 display, just the protection glass ,the touch is working flawlessly even where the display is cracked. I was wondering what do you suggest, to change only the glass (Oca glue /gel ?) or to replace the whole display meaning glass and touch? Please help guys. Later today I will post a picture with the display. Thank you.

I only had mine for 5 days, dropped it, and cracked the glass.... a week later, dropped it again, and cracked it even more! I can't believe how slippery the G6 is. Anyhow, I ordered a good case the same day I got the phone, but it's stuck at friggen customs for over a month now... Soon as I get it, going to get er fixed. It's $210 locally rite now to get the glass replaced, or $150 for an insurance replacement. Regardless, going to stick with the messed up screen til I get the case, still works great.
Hi. I found to replace the glass and touch together with 150 . Replacing just the screen I think it's cheaper but I didn't hear good things about this procedure (high possibility to crack the touch or the gluing of the touch and glass it's very hard to get like new). Where are you from? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...y+s6+parts&dpPl=1&dpID=51nFR7qIK9L&ref=plSrch
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S6. The other day, I happened to break the front glass. The LCD is still fine and the phone works, but the glass is all cracked and a little sharp. So I got a Samsung Galaxy S6 replacement and then followed the video guide to fix it. Now the phone just like a brand new phone.
I've ordered a used Galaxy S4 on Ebay and received a cheap clone that i'd never used has my own device. It's one from Mediatek and i was wondering if i can at least use it's lcd/digitizer with a legit S4 i337m because i have one with the screen broken so i would at least not be losing everything on this? If not i'll just ask for a full refund and send it back to the seller.
no you cant the flex cables wont even be the same and i mean flex clabes as they are two different cables when the original s4 only uses one that connects to the logic board. the digitizer es integrated into the lcd screen and the flex is connected directly to the lcd screen on the back. It would have been alot better if you would have bought an lcd display for you model. and if you dont know how to take it apart you could buy one with the bezel for your model number. They sold me an lcd screen for 400 pesos and i replaced the glass using uv glue and it works perfect. and was a cheap fix. maybe you have a friend with a dead logic board and working screen or cracked glass where the lcd digitizer still work you should ask around may be cheaper with money on hand

It depends on if the clone uses a digitizer with the same connections, but most likely not. You could open them up and check if the frames and connections are the same, but each model S4 has the digitizer connections in a slightly different place

Hey guys.
So after just a week of getting this lovely note 4 the phone fell from pocket about a feet or 2 on a ceramic floor and obtained a threadline crack horizontally across the screen. The digitizer is fine and the phone is totally usable,however i am tempted to change the upper glass covering. Iv done some research and couldn't find any detailed process to do that on youtube,though i read somewhere that it's risky to replace just the glass without digitizer. So has anyone gone through this process before? What are the risks? I am planning to buy d glass from aliexpress. ..thanks
So I'm in the same boat as you now...was hoping you were successful and any pointers/tips and what glass did you get? I've taken the glass off and replaced it on a Note 2 so somewhat familiar with the process.
Well i think i have to tell you some bad news guys. Samsung changed the way they produce displays. Back in the day S1-S4 N1-N3 screens came with a frame attatched on em (official parts that is) but now since the S5 and N4 its only the panel itself, touchscreen+Amoled panel glued together and it's like 3mm thick. So you can imagine how difficult it is to replace em seperatly.
I think it's for the best to leave it like this or if you have the money replace the screen completly.
I myself work in a phone/tablet repair shop so if ur from the Netherlands/Belguim you can stop by and it's fixed in ~30 minutes.

Hi everyone,
I had a shattered screen on my verizon i545 black so I took everything apart (both frames are bare on both sides)and the attached picture is what I have left. Image - h t t ps://ibb.co/jPdOZT
I'm very confused by reading about amoled screen, digitizer, touch screen assembly on what parts I need to build my phone again.
Im looking on ebay and there's quite a few options that range a bit in $$.
Can anyone direct me to maybe a specific link via pm if it has to be done that way
Screen
This is the least expensive option for your model. It appears to include the midframe as well, which will make things a lot easier for you. All less expensive offers on ebay consist of either a screen protector or the front glass by itself.
purchased, thanks!
BTW, the Verizon s4 forum is located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon
I have an old N910F with a broken lcd digitizer that I am wanting to repair. I had rooted, flashed and tailored it to my liking. It took me a very long time to find this particular model (it has more developer support) as the majority of models in New Zealand are N910U.
Living here also makes it an expensive place to source replacement parts, to the point where I can buy great condition used Galaxy Note 4's for less than the replacement digitizers being sold here (which are likely just bought from ebay or aliexpress anyway).
My thought was that the best way for me to go about repairing my old N910F would be to buy a good condition 2nd hand Note 4 (that has never had a screen replacement and thus has a genuine lcd) and simply swap my N910F motherboard and various parts into the 2nd hand Note 4.
I've done this before with my girlfriends Samsung S4 with no issue and found it easier than when I repaired her S4 by swapping the digitizers, and I avoided having touch screen sensitivity issues.
But I am wanting to double check I shouldn't have any issues here with a motherboard swap from my N910F into a N910U chassis and screen.
My only thought would be that maybe there is a slight difference between the two (snapdragon vs exynos) but I am unsure and would really prefer to keep my N910F hence posting here.
