Hi guys! I just had a bad start using the galaxy s4. Just a week after I bought the device, the motherboard got whacked and I couldn't connect to wifi and my unit gets hot without actually using it. Now that I got the mobo replaced, my question is this: I have a semi fit pants, so whenever I put my s4 on my pocket, it is a little bit tight, but not too much. Does it affect the motherboard in the long run through this condition?

It might. The screen gets affected too but in the long run and after to daily use.
Sammy is not that durable.
Press Thanks if I helped

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.

well if u by mistake buy screen of i9506 and u r bieng i9505 just buy back casing of i9506 and it would be ok , atleast it solved my problem with the screen bieng different then the phone . hopefully it helps
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

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 am attempting to help a friend (girl) of mine. Her booooy friend, rather x bf n I w slammed her S7 edge on her countertop. Unfortunately she does not have insurance on the device. I can handle glass repair. Which to bad. What is bad is that it has only attempted to charge twice, it will not power on with a slight charge. SO when it goto enough juice I got it to go into recovery mode. I did reboot system now it went through its steps as if it was going to but did not. I attempted to restart from bootloader and got the downloading on device do not unplug. But it went no were. I attempt thesee steps mutiple time with same results. Sooooo my ? What csn I do to fix. Can it be fixed? When I take this device apart what should I look for in a case like this.
Forgot to mention pink line on front display.
We appreciate any advice and helpful pointers.

Well, the title says it all. My N910A suffered to the infamous EMMC bug a few months ago, so I had the motherboard swapped out with the ones from the N910S (SK Telecom) variant. Everything works surprisingly well (no locked bootloader included), except for the fact that camera isn't working.
I've searched around for a bit, and according to AIDA64 and some generous people, the Exynos Note 4 (Korean model included) seems to be using the same Sony camera sensor as the Qualcomm variant does. And I'm pretty sure that the original camera on my N910A is still fuctional. So, does anyone here have an idea about the camera on my Note 4? I'm too afraid to mess with it alone (mainly because it's a PITA to remove the screen on flagship Samsung phones).
Thanks in advance.
Maybe you should need the same camera from the n910s..
Anyway i have note4 n910a too and my board is not working properly i want to buy the n910s motherboard because this is exynos and 64bit,i want to know if the motherboard of n910s is fitted for n910a main body especially in mid frame???
i have replaced my n910a mother boar with n910c any every thing is working well but i am having a problem with the mic in call ( people cant hear me well some times ) (out doors mainly) i have tried to change the charging port ,but i am getting the same problem.

I think it will. Although it's best if you do some research first....
