That's ridiculous. Hopefully he will get it sorted.

EDIT: Anyone who wants to do some digging can check out EASYDY Electronics Technology Co. LTD. That seems to be where the device was built, so they very well may have parts that we can get for it. However, the product is not on their website probably due to copyright. I will probably even shoot an email, who knows--maybe I can get a better deal than what they are charging me.[/QUOTE]

Interesting. As expected, based in Shenzhen. I wonder if it would be possible to buy a joblot of components from them cheap enough to be able to sell them on.

Tips

I would also like to add that heating the edges and using a thin metal spudger or xacto knife really make it a piece of cake since it is only held by the edges, at least if you have done something like this before.
[Android General] rynbrgss:
Thanks, added to post 1.

I've got myself an S4 Active, but I'm keeping hold of the HDC so that I can still offer a level of support :)

If anyone is interested, the front facing camera is manufactured by Sunny Optical. It's likely the rear camera is too but it's markings aren't particularly useful.

[Android General] rynbrgss:
This is kinda interesting, my LCD model numbernis different to the one mentioned earlier in the thread. Mine is:

FPC-A50055N50LL-B.

Googled... and result!

http://s.taobao.com/search?q=fpc-a50055n50ll-b&rsclick=13

Update: After a quick look, screens look to be about ¥180, ($1.84 or £1.18!)

I can't find how much shipping would be internationally, if available at all.

Update 2: Digitizer (actual digitizer, not glass) model number:

MET-S4 130414

There is also another number:

S-025 A3

With all of the trouble I have gone through, I may end up just getting the new Nexus 5; with the replacement parts I am buying, it will come out to the exact same price -_-.
[Android General] rynbrgss:
That was the thought behind me getting a new phone. It's a lot of time and hassle to track down and import costly parts for a phone that's nothing special compared to others on the market for the price.

My HDC Galaxy S4 Legend dropped and broke the glass only, where can I buy a new one? thank you
[Android General] rynbrgss:
The best thing to do at the moment seems to be to contact your seller and see if they can help.
[Android General] caproby:
I bought from fastcardtech, have sent email but still no answer. There is no store where you can purchase the digitizer? thanks anyway
[Android General] rynbrgss:
I personally havent come across any. It's worth having a look at the main HDC Galaxy Legend thread on here if you havent already.
[Android General] aurafis:
Mine broken too..:(i contact seller...he told me that glass costs 40usd and lcd 50usd...but can we use original glass from samsung s4?thank you
[Android General] rynbrgss:
No, as stated before in this thread you cannot use original components as they use different connections.
[Android General] aurafis:
thank you...i read that there are different connection but i thought that if i change only the glass there aren't difference.....
[Android General] rynbrgss:
The glass and digitizer are glued together and cannotbbe easily separated. While it is possible, it is risky and very difficult to align the digitizer correctly. Also, the genuin S4 glass is a bit thucker so it would stick out from the phone a bit.
[Android General] aurafis:
thank you...so i think that i hadn't understand well how it is made...i thought that there was glass glued to lcd...but now i understand that thare is also digitizer...am i correct?when i look s4 dissasembly i saw that glass came off from lcd by heat and a plettrum...
[Android General] rynbrgss:
The entire digitizer is glued to the glass. The edges of the LCD are then glued to the glass on top of this.

Hopefully this picture will help. As you can see it will be difficult to cleanly apply the digitizer to a new glass.
[Android General] caproby:
where can I buy it? someone already bought? where? thank you
[Android General] aurafis:
--.

oh...i understand---so i think that i can try to de glue lcd from glass/digitizer, but it isn't possible to deglue glass and digitizer...thank you
[Android General] rynbrgss:
That's right. Glad I could help.

Good afternoon

Can anyone tell me if this is the digitizer for HDC S4 Legend and if the outer glass is included?

http://www.shop-from-china.com/p-19...lay-FPC-A50055N50LL-B-LCD-spot-wholesale.html

Thanks
[Android General] rynbrgss:
That model numbee is for the LCD, nit the digitizer, so I don't think so.
[Android General] aurafis:
Mine too...i think that it is very annoiing vibragtion when answer and i read that it is a software problem...it need to rewrite phone apk file, but i don't know how...if someone know how to do it will be perfect!

i'm still try to decide how to do for my broken glass..and if i buy lcd from my buyer and glass for original s4?can be fit together?because my buyer tell me that glass costs 40usd, but i think that it is too much expensive if it is only a piece of glass...and lcd costs 50usd...
[Android General] rynbrgss:
The glass has the digitizer glued to it, that's what you're paying for. Even if it is possible to swap over the glass, you risk damaging or deforming the digitizer and misaligning it.
[Android General] aurafis:
thank you...so it works for me...for 40usd i have glass and with digitizer...so it isn't too much expensive...but when i wrote to my buyer he told me about glass he didn't understand when i asked about glass and digitizer...
[Android General] caproby:
Please could Any one explain me what i really need? My glass is Broken. I need the outer glass with digitizer or i need the outer and the inner? This is the question of a seller i have contacted. Please sombody help me
[Android General] rynbrgss:
If your LCD is not broken, you need the glass with digitizer.
[Android General] caproby:
LCD is not glued to the digitizer, Like glass. Its easy remove the glass without damage LCD?
[Android General] rynbrgss:
It is risky to remove the lcd if it is not already broken. I broke my LCD removing it from the glass.
[Android General] caproby:
can you tell me if the connectors of the HDC Legend are the same as this image?

Good news(hopefully for real this time)

I got in touch with my seller and he said I am actually getting an LCD this time. So, I will hopefully have a full re installation guide done next week sometime! I am really excited to finally be getting a phone again, and will definitely be playing it a lot safer with a case and just babying it. I decided I do not want to drop the money on a new phone at this point, so I will still be around to help with whatever I can until my phone craps out to the point where I can't fix it.
[Android General] rynbrgss:
Awesome, thanks! Good luck with it :)

Positon of Powerbutton Cover

Hello rynbrgss,

your giude is very helpfull, beacuse i I had to "hardflash" my Legend. Now I have to assemble my Phone and all works fine, but I can't assemble the silver cover for the power button. When I push this button after assembling, it does not move (it seems it is blocked). The power button on the board is ok.

Can you please tell or post me the postion for this silver power button cover inside the chromeborder (grey piece). Is there a trick when assembling?

Thank you very much for your assistance!!!
[Android General] Phiter:
If I were to get a metal/aluminum casing for my HDC S4, would it affect the signal at all? I would put the link in here but I have to have at least 10 posts lol sorry noob here.

I'm also thinking about adding the copper to signals and all cause my wifi is really horrible on the phone. I'm guessing the only way to increase the signal is either adding copper or getting the "Fluffy" ROM. Supposedly what I've read the Fluffy ROM increase your Wifi Signal strength and helps decrease lag in the phone. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
[Android General] splashboy:
Damn, also broke my lcd and glass. i have already sent an email to my seller 'FCT' and asked for a replacement but probaly they won't answer. Can anyone give me a link if you have one where i can buy a lcd with digitizer and glass? Thanksss

The thin silver trim around the screen is cracking on my HDC Spark , it's gone on both sides of the buttons. Is it possible to use an original s4 part on this ? The phone still works but the cracks are unsightly. Thank you for the guide in this thread great job.
[Android General] Phiter:
Soooooo, I just recently dropped my phone. The LCD and the glass is all jacked up. Well not the glass as much but the LCD shows all these line. Pretty disappointed how I just dropped my phone and the whole screen is jacked up lol.

I contacted my seller from DHgate andddd has not responded yet. In all honestly, I don't think my seller is gonna reply to my message. I'm basically screwed cause I don't know the model number of my LCD and glass. Hoping someone out there can post the link of where to buy the glass and LCD cause this is my main phone and I have no back up.. lol.

Problems with WiFi

Hello. Write via Google translator? that sorry.

When I first understanding this phone, wanted to improve signal reception WIFI and connected the wire contacts from top left, top right and bottom right ( as far as I know, from top left is WIFI and bottom right is a GSM top right not to know"then I looked and saw that the signal has improved ( as a second telephone is the same he was the better), I decided to remove these wires, then the contacts on the top-left ceased to respond as an antenna. And nothing more I can do, I climbed in engineering menu, can there done that or the system itself, like tried to flash to another, but then made the backup.What would you recommend?

this is the one

Guys, i think that after reading thru the hole tread. The link from rynbrgss above is the right one. When you open the link and choose . (with Samsung logo Samsung I9500 Touchscreen imitation with-S4-V1 , LCD FPC-A50055N50LL-B) that is what we al need. Price are very low too.

Don't know shipping costs or if they even ship outside of china. When you google translate the page you will see that all the numbers match and you can choose between LCD or front glass with digitizer. A lot of it is still in chinese so i can't figure out how to contact them and how to order.

BUTT what I saw is that you can pay thru paypal (they call it alipay)

P.S I had to remove the link from orriginal post because i can't post outside links.

faulty screen

Pretty sure it is a faulty screen. Best thing to do is inform seller or if you are within 45 days of payment, open a case on paypal. That is if you payed through paypal. Make a warranty claim by seller. I had the exact same thing happend to me only my LCD died after only 2 weeks. I am in a claim against seller(fastcardtech) thru paypal. They said to send back phone. This will cost me at least 30 $ and from what i read across the net i will most likely never see my phone back without paying for repair and return shipment. I don't know what to do next. Maybe i will order a new LCD and glass/digitizer and repair the phone myself. This will cost me at most 30 $ so maybe its worth the shot. Best of luck to you
[Android General] filipeman:
Yes i payed through paypal i also bought it from fastcardtech , i have sent an email to the after sale support of their site but 2 days have already passed and they dont anwser me. So you think i should write an email to paypal claiming agianst them? Yesterday i opened the phone and follwed that tutorial to desassembly which is here on the fórum just to se if there was anything bad conected but yeah its just de display that doesnt works.

Phone For Sale

While I am somewhat reluctant to do it, I need to put my phone up for sale. It is in perfect condition, with a brand new digitizer and lcd on it, both working perfectly, and a glass screen protector installed. The body of the phone is in great condition, but the back cover does have a little nick in it. The phone functions almost perfectly. However, ever since I got into a motorcycle crash(long story short, SUV pulls in front of me and I learn to fly) with the phone in my pocket, I have not been able to get the cellular antenna to work. I have opened it, reflashed it, and done all sorts of things, but I have just not been able to get it to work. Needing a phone, I just went ahead and got an S4 Active. Now, since this phone is in great condition except for the cellular issue, which could be hardware or software, I don't know, I am willing to part with it for $120. I know all you guys are looking for replacement screens and other parts, well all you would have to do is transplant your motherboard, or take the piece out. It is WHITE and in great condition, and I have no more use for it because I have a new phone, so message me if you would like it. Price is negotiable. It will also come with a free fake white spigen slimarmor case. And both batteries. And my red aluminum back. and the white one of course. I will throw in the extra digitizer for $20, or that part alone can still be purchased separately. It is white as well.

Hello I contacted my seller on and he told me it's

100USD total screen= 50USD for the outer screen with logo and digitizer + 50USD for the LCD itself

I don't think its unreasonable if you think like this

original S4 costs 400€, screen digitizer and LCD cost +-200€ here

Legend S4 costs 200$, screen digitizer and LCD cost +- 100$

But don't forget shipping costs which are +- 12USD
