Hi all. So I bought a replacement for the LCD+Digitizer+Glass one of my broken screen'd Note 4s. Of course, the eBay sourced screen replacement was not going to be easy. Eventually I went to a repair store in the city and bought a replacement screen from them. eBay screen cost me $50USD, the store bought screen? $140USD, YIKES! Let's get into the issues, shall we?
First issue I had with the eBay sourced screen, is that the film that's supposed to register the S-Pen input was separated from the rest of the LCD+Digitizer!
See image below

Secondly, the circuits and wiring were slightly different on the LCD Flex between the two sourced screens. The Genuine store bought one was slightly bulkier, overall it looked better equipped to handle the information transfer.
See image below
Forging on, we get to the main reason why I went to buy another LCD from the store in the first place! The image stopped showing on the eBay sourced LCD! Instead it cycles through some sort of test mode display.
I've tried that eBay sourced screen on both the N910T body and the N910A body with no luck.
Once I bought the genuine screen from the store, I raced back home to complete the install. Immediately after unboxing the first and second issues were noted.
TL;DR
The screen I got from eBay is currently on my N910A and is cycling some rather strange images. Anyone have a solution?

Has anybody used these with a pressure sensitive touch screen device and the Touch Pro in particular?
I've never seen one in the US but they're all over the place in Japan. It like a screen protector but when viewed at an angle over ~30degrees from perpendicular the screen is unreadable or black, sometimes with a image on it.
This page shows how it works, the page is Japanese but there's pictures.

The difference is they're stiffer and thicker than the usual screen protector so I wonder how well the pressure sensitive screens like the Touch Pro work. Since the pressure sensitivity is adjustable they might still work good anyway.
There's a Touch Pro specific one for sale here for $8 so I'd think that means it works decently.

And the next question is can anybody in Japan order these up for us? Maybe expansys can buy them in bulk and resell them to us?
I am sure this is nice especially in Japan where it would be annoying to have someone constantly trying to look at your screen so they could watch you weird cartoon pr0n.
Nice find... very nice. I'll try to get a few. You can as well go request this in Dealextreme... if the demand is high, they will consider of getting it listed.
Nice one, I will have a look at the shop on the way home tonight and see how they perform.
Pocketsolutions has them, just not for the fuze yet.

Looking at that one specifically. My tilt has a bunch of chip/scratch marks on the shell. It is also crooked when the slider isn't open (the face goes down more than it should, not sure why). I want to sell the phone to get a new HTC, so I'm planning on buying the kit and pretty much making it seem as new as possible. Good idea?

They do not give enough info from the site to know if this is complete (battery cover, backing, front face, new key board, and new call/end key pad). I bought a screen from them and they customer support SUCKS!! The screen had a red dot and they basically told me to F-off. So I would stay away from that site. I did find a complete housing form e-bay for the same price, got it and now my tilt looks brand new. Look up "AT&T tilit full housing" on eBay. That way you see exactly what you are getting:
Remeber some are just front and back covers, others are the entire setup.
This is just the front and back cover

Here is the missing pic hope it works this time.
If you broken just glass- digitizer. so you just buy new on ebay. If you broken lcd screen, too so buy lcd+digitizer.
just make sure you buy digitizer for your phone because there are two types of them. One you showed is an older type and there is newer "snap in" type.

i cant put the picture because of 8 post block...
I broke the glass of my Leo last week as well, fixed now. I was lucky though, it was just the digitizer but when they were about to change it they did tell me that the digitizer and the lcd are so close and well pinned to each other that there was a risk they broke the lcd when trying to remove the digitizer so then I would have had to buy lcd +digitizer .. but it worked fine. Good luck!
Broke mine last October, covered it in a screen protector and its been fine ever since. The money saved not replacing it is in my "new hd2 for sam" fund, and you soon get used to the cracks, which can hardly be seen when the back light is on.
it happended wid my frnd too !
Hey guys,
I've had my One repaired 5 times. This last time it was deemed warranty void because it had a little scratch on the front camera lens. I yelled enough to be heard at HTC and the authorized a full repair ( new grills, lcd, rear panel, speakers, front and rear camera) I was pleased. I picked it up today and found it would not power up, stupidly i listened to the Bell store rep who figured it was dead. So i plugged it into the charger and found it to be at 50%, the power button would not actually move, like it was bonded to the phone. I started to look closer and found that my rear camera was off center significantly. I like most of you have looked at a lot of tear down videos, and I know that there is next to no wiggle room in there. I can only assume that the asshat at FutureTel that "fixed" it didn't align everything in place before he forced the back cover on.
I'm taking it back tomorrow morning to send it out again, why they won't just give me a new one is well beyond me...

If you're annoyed at HTC for not having great customer service, there's no point telling us and not them considering they're the ones who can improve.
Thread Closed as threads such as this always seem to turn into arguments instead of the posters intentions.
so my note 3 sm n900 got a lot of scratchs and I wanted to replace it's chrome bezel but I couldn't find one online for the international version , can I use a bezel for Sm n900V instead ?

The bad news is the bezel it actually part of the frame so it can't be replaced with completely disassembling the phone down to the digitizer. You can however buy a broken phone from eBay in good condition and just swap boards. I just bought a flawless phone for $50 which had been in an otterbox but it had a dead board. I swapped the board from the old phone with a cracked screen and it now looks new. The bad news is most broken phones from eBay have broken screens or digitizers. If they have a dead board as the one I found, you have no way of knowing for sure if the phone will even power on after swapping boards.
Another option would be to buy an aluminum bumper frame which will cover the bezel up so you won't see the scuffs and dings. These don't add much size to the phone like a full case does. They also come in pretty much any color
