Screen Replacement - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Just want to check with someone who understand the screen model better then I do.
I have cracked S8 SM-G950W screen, I went to Ali-express and found a number of replacements.
I was about to order when I noted that none of them had screen for G950W but only G950 or G950F...... now my question is, is there any difference between them? I did msg the sellers but no response of yet.
I am very thankful if anyone could help me out. I do not feel like ordering the wrong one.
Thnx in Adv.

I think all of these are made in China , the only way you can get an original is to buy a broken phone and salvage from it or order direct from Samsung Service centers
thanks xsenman. Would Samsung send me a replace for the screen if I call or write them? These chinese LCD are good for replacement?

as long as you are willing to pay their price, samsung should/would supply spare parts in their service centers ..need to quote their part number or visit them personally ...china parts will be china parts..but will never be the original as samsung would never supply parts in this manner .
on the other-hand china parts should work too

[Q] Need a serious help, SPH-l720

Hello XDA developers
For all who got experience and information about digitizera and screen especially for Galaxy S4
I got a SPRINT Galaxy S4 which unfortunately i cracked its screen and got confused about what is compatible and what is not in terms of cable length or any other compatible parts , fitting correctly etc..
So my question is
Does this phone requires only Sprint Galaxy s4 screen and digitizer or any common galaxy s4 screen can be replaced ?
Any further information can really help.
Please help, googled it but have not got a crystal clear answer, so i refered to XDA forums
( what i mean by screen is: digitizer + outer screen)
Special thanks for all repliers

For me, it would work if you got any US variant version of the part, I have replaced my tmobile variant screen with a at&t part, but if you cant find the US version of the part, try finding the i9505 parts, that model mirrors the US variant of the phone

I have no heard if anyone has tried with different variant parts on a sprint s4, i would recommend asking some local phone shops or doing some research on google for the answer.

Samsung Galaxy S4 - Screen looks burned, but still functional [Image Attached]

Hi there, a friend gave me this phone whose screen appears to be burnt, but still functional. I just wanted to verify if the proper fix for this is to buy an LCD replacement.
Also, I noticed that online websites that sell LCD replacements mention the carrier of the phone. That brings me to the question, do I need to purchase a replacement with the same carrier or just the same model (SGH-I337M in this case)?
Thank you.

The att version of the s4 is compatible with the i337m.
You may be better off finding a used screen because a real Samsung replacement screen is not cheap.

New motherboard

Hello, I have an s8 sm-g950u that has a problem reading SIM and sd card. I have been researching for a fix but have about come to the conclusion I will need a new mother board. My main question is.. about which to choose. I am in the US and know the nootloader of this phone can't be unlocked. If I were to purchase a motherboard of an unlockable model would it work in this phone? What things would I have to be concerned With? Would it change.my imei and other identification numbers... would there be any other things needed to be done to make it work in my she'll? Would I have to replace any other parts? Knowing the motherboard would be shipped from Ali express, for around 100 bux, it would be used. Should I be concerned with That? Which would be the best motherboard to choose? The g950f I presume? Any and all advise would be excellent. Thank you xda
If it's like the Galaxy S7, you'll also need the G950F daughterboard that has the USB port on it. Also, I've read that the G950F uses Samsung camera modules and the G950U uses Sony camera modules, so your cameras may not work after the swap.
It might be easier just to find a G950F with a broken screen to buy.
Thank you for that info. I was not aware of either of those tips. I am hoping this thread gets bumped a bit with this reply. I am hoping for just a bit more info if possible.. Or even opinions on a new model that would be comparable to the s8.. maybe wider.. I have been reading on phones for days.. I had no idea there were so many to choose. Perhaps a Chinese variant with equal to better specs
