Replace screen - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

screen note 4 is a single component? Or glass and touch screen ..
I fell and I was a broken screen. The touch screen works very well, but it bothers me to see the line break and want change.

I'm not sure if it's one or two parts. But pay the extra money and get the screen and housing in one. It makes the fix a whole lot easier and less time consuming

Where are you sourcing these parts?

The glass screen is actually glue onto the digitizer/AMOLED panel. So you are better of replacing the entire front panel rather than the glass as chances are you are gonna damage the digitizer/AMOLED panel when you remove the glass anyway.

Spot on camera

Hi everyone, i have realized of a little spot on camera, anyone else have this problem? What do you recommend me to do?
Thanx
Check the lens for any dust particles or bit of trash. If nothing is visible on the lens, it may be a dust particle on the sensor itself. I see this from time to time on my DSLR.
IF it is on the sensor you should definitely return it for another phone, there's no way you could possibly clean it yourself.

So they managed to sell it on ebay? I was wondering where my Note's digitizer went!
I trust you'll be sending my property back to me?

Thank you for the link. My Note had an accident some days ago and although the LCD works perfectly the external plastic screen is broken. I can use it without any problem but It doesn't look good....

Screen glass

Hi, I have my cellphone with broken glass and fully working touchscreen.
Its posibble to change the grass with any other?
Can I make it with a friend cutting that?
The touchscreen will work?
Thanks so much

A lot of times it's easier to change the digitizer and glass as one unit.
Google, model number of phone, and see if they sell just the glass.
Then check the "i fix it" YouTube sites for instructions to do it your self.

Thats what I do first before ask here, I cannot find the spare part.... Its a vowney v5

Your Phone is not a popular model. So you can not find the spare parts. If your phone is samsung or iphone, you can find many screens for replacement. Since ifixit does not have the part, you have to ask your phone supplier to know if your phone can be fixed or replaced. If they accept replace a new phone for you , it is better, if not, you have to pay a lot of money on replacing the full front lcd screen with glass. They will not replace the single glass for you, they will replace the whole front unit. Understand ?
It could be a problem as many manufacturers glue the glass to the display. It's probably way easier to change the entire display with the glass as you also prevent getting any dust between both parts.

I believe the way it works is that the glass is not special but the way it is glued/fused is. It is also a lot less work to switch the digitizer and LCD together. I know of someone who has problems with dust getting behind the glass now when he tried to just replace the glass. I'm not saying that will necessarily happen for you but just as a caution. If you replace the whole unit you can be certain you won't have any dust issues. This should be a fun learning experience. I know changing the screen and digitizer for an iPhone was for me. =)

Can glass screen only be replaced

Unfortunately I cracked my screen the other day and just wanted to know can the glass just be replaced or is it always available as one unit glass/digitizer?

It's one unit I think.

Just use a heatgun to separate, but personally I wouldn't risk doing that
I work with maintenance of cellphones, tablet, PC's, Notebook etc and I can say to you, that's almost impossible... Only if you have a (really) soft hand, because the display below the touch and the glass are too (I say, too for real) slim, and the chances of break the display is too high... Don't try to do this alone as well.
Edit: the heat gun can do the trick as the @fingerprinted said, but honestly... don't worth it
Not to mention that once separated the chance of getting fingerprints, dust, etc between the LCD & the digitizer is huge. Once you have it back together and notice something in between your going to be po'd. The whole unit LCD + digitizer is about ~50 bucks, so I can't see trying to just replace the digitizer as being a good gamble.

In b4 cracked digitizer

Will changing the cracked screen make my phone "not" water proof?

Hi everyone,
Unfortunately I got my s7 edge cracked, I'm not sure if now it will leak water into the phone!! However I want to know if I changed it will I be losing the waterproof functionality?
Regards
If its replaced by samsung it will be good as new, if you replace it yourself there's a good chance that it won't be water tight anymore.
Just don't go swimming with it and you're good

It's not a waterproof device. It's a water resistant. There are differences between each other lol

A little trick I learned on my Xperia Z2 was to find the barometer in the hidden menus. Squeeze down and if the pressure rises it should be waterproof. That is what I did before playing with that device in the water. Not sure how this phone reacts to the same test but worth a try.

Its border line waterproof. IP68 is the top rating in water resistance
Yes I know borders rating. But read the instructions manual and look for the word waterproof.
Good luck!
Instead you will find tons of references to water proofing and advises of not to submerge the phone in any way

They don't say waterproof, to cover themselves. There's always the chance of a leak.
But Samsung do say it CAN be submerged, so what you've said isn't really true.

Ip68 is not exactly the top rating. It's just a test for water resistance. Passing IP68 test doesn't mean the device pass IP65 test. That's why some device(such as some xperia devices) have 2 IP rating for 65 and 68. And S7 is likely fail in ip65 test.
