Battery: Tell us what version of Android you're running. Also tell us what apps you had running. One or more of them is the source of your battery drain.
Screen: The shopkeeper is right. If you have no touch capability then the screen will have to be replaced in its entirety.

i have touch capability where im using lots of things in my phone and im running lollipop 5.01 now 5.1.1 from resurrection rom
The screen comes in two parts: glass and digitizer/display. The glass is bonded to the display with optical adhesive. If the glass is broken but the display is intact, a repair center with the right tools can remove the broken glass and replace it with new glass. Just don't try doing it yourself.
Now that I understand things a bit better, it sounds as if the guy you took it to was looking to make extra cash off you by trying to get you to replace the screen instead of repair it. Honestly, buying a screen/midframe combination is a better alternative to glass replacement. It's easy enough that even you could do it, since you're only transferring parts from your device over to the new screen/midframe and reassembling the S4.

This is my mates HTC Desire HD, he keeps it in an Official HTC case which covers the full screen and is very careful with it.
A mark has appeared on the middle of the screen which as you can see in the video is really annoying. He has not dropped it, nor hit it with anything.
Anyone got any ideas, or have had the same problem??
Here is a very small video which demonstrates the issue that I placed on YouTube.

Looks like he has either sat on it or had soemthing heavy pressing on the center of the screen. Either way it looks as if the LCD layer is sitting too close to the digitiser and even the slightest pressure on the screen causes that distortion.
I'm not aware of a fix other than a new digitiser maybe.
Contact the dealer. Maybe you're friend can get an replacement (Y)
Update... turns out over the weekend my mate took out the extended battery (he had to use tweezers to get it out!).
He had purchased from an Ebay seller from a UK seller (not an official HTC battery though). It was a 1600mah battery.
The issue went instantly.
Looking at the 1600mah battery, its curved!
So beware everyone, get an official battery! Or risk screwing up your touchscreen!
Thats interesting . First time I have heard a battery casuing screen problems.

I have yet to read a successful hi-cap battery story... makes me wonder whether HTC has ensured the H/W cant use anything beyond the specs.

TS said that the battery was curved so it was prolly pushing against the inside of the phone onto the panel
Hi just joined as its my phone in question
The battery has bulged very slightly in the middle so that if you placed it on a flat surface either way up you can rock it in any direction. I reckon its approx 2mm thicker on either side in the middle than at the edge
Signs were there over the past few weeks as it wasn't lasting as long on each charge and no-where near as long as the original HTC HD battery which is now back in the phone.
As to the High capacity one its a generic battery i.e. no mfr markings on the black and white label
Details say
"Replacement for HTC Desire HD" on two lines in top left corner
"Li-on 3.7V" in top right
"3.7VDC 1600mAh" below that and CE logo next to that
You will find the battery sold at lots of places online (both UK and international) as the picture from the UK seller I bought it from was by no means unique.
You better buy a second original battery from HTC.
5 mins ago i read about buying a nonHTC battery with higher capacity and I nearly ordered it. Good thind I found this thread.
Thank you

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.
Any oficial way to change the battery of a Nexus 6p? Mine is working horrible lately
The battery in this phone is a known issue. There is a way to do it and if you Google tutorials for it you'll find quite a few. If you have never disassembled a smart phone before I don't recommend doing it your self. I would recommend buying all of the spare parts and paying a cell phone repair store to complete the project for you.
I replaced mine. It wasn't too bad, however, the black plastic rim around the screen is SO fragile and chipped in a couple of places. Other than that, pretty easy to do.
I would take it to a shop. Atleast they have the correct tools and hopefully not damage the phone. I also have to replace my battery as it started to act up.
Thanks for the info. I live in Mexico so I don't really rely on any phone repairing store.. haha. I guess I will have to wait for the pixel 2.. and hope that the battery on that will be more durable
If you get yourself a really fine blade, some guitar picks and this site it's not too hard. Just test the new battery out before you close it back up. I did it flawless the first attempt but when the replacement battery was defective out of frustration I marked up the sides taking it out a second time. Also when prying on the battery just remember there is a important cable running through the middle underneath. Ultimately your decision of course maybe just selling it down the road and getting a newer model if you can hold out. ?
Hi everyone, I've had this phone since the day it was released and it has never failed on me, and I've always charged it correctly not usin it while charging and not overchargin it and never letting it die from battery low
Anyways, recently I have noticed that the back of the phone is slightly bulging up, it's still veeery slightly and to be sure im not mistaken, i put ut on a flat surface and saw that the phone is standing on the center of its back. Where XPERIA is printed.
Is there a way i could change the battery myself at home? Or is it even easy to be done by a repair shop or not? There arent any Sony support centers in my country.
Btw, I havent noticed any changes to the routin batterylife of my device

Assuming you can get access to the battery, when you get the battery out you will notice the plastic skin around the battery is bulging. Use a pin an pop it, then the gas stuck insde will escape. Then put back in your phone and your done.
I did this for my Xperia Z. No issues... good as new now.
i will try to do it, hopefully not exploding my phone or hand
the reason why im hesitating is that Ive heard that the NFC will most likely get damaged when trying to change battery
Hi all , I wonder if anyone can help me here with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
If I allow the battery to completely drain (by leaving it turned off and not using it) and then I plug the charger in, the screen is obviously faulty because it flickers, Samsung logo is ghosting, screen is all green or white etc.
But after this load sequence it is then followed by a completely black screen and responds to nothing not even connecting to a PC.
I can only get the screen to light up again as above if the battery is completely drained and it is then plugged into the charger.
I was originally aware the screen was faulty but now it seems to have a problem booting up - so my question is, would the forum agree that the motherboard is likely toast and then in that case, is it worth the repair (either by myself or shop).
If it is not worth the repair, is it possible to access the files to extract personal info/photos/videos etc?
Any help or advice greatly appreciated, thanking you in advance
Is the battery known good?
Lol, maybe you left it sit too long...
It takes a fair amount of current to boot.
Without boot the only hope of data recovery is a data recovery service.
Hi, yes I replaced the battery as that was my first thought. But it was just the same after that.
I just don't want to fit a LCD screen and find out its knackered anyway lol

I guess throw a LCD at it as they are cheap.
May not be the mobo. It's a crap shoot...
Unfortunately the edge screens are still around £100. I could keep my eye out for a cheap second hand one that at least has a working screen I guess.

Probably better if you bought a working phone if you like it a lot; a parts queen comes in handy.
A used N10+ be a lot faster but is better if it was loaded with 9 or 10 rather than 11 or higher. These phones can be very long lived and they can be had at a reasonable cost now.
Yah, I guess
