[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibkevin:
Yeah I read about this in another thread. It does seem to be a small bug. I believe they said in the other thread that the it kicks back in after u use camera.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Storm T:
Thanks Kevin,

Yep, I can confirm now. It's after using the camera when it happens. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
Well I did one last week that was successful but I was practicing on one with a broken digitizer so it was no good anyway. I broke it. This one seemed more hard to separate from the lcd. I don't know why. The lcd lifted from the housing and I didnt use much heat at all. But I'll post pictures for anyone who would like to attempt this. You can see on the pic with the tool how thin the glass is and where the lcd lifted from the housing.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
Oh yea.you have to be extra careful of that flex cable connecting to the lcd which is exposed
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] leetrevor81:
I was looking for a thread to post this in, this may be the right place as you may have an idea, since you just installed a mega screen.

I cracked my mega screen last night, originally the phone was still working. In about half an hour the screen wasn't registering swipes, so I can't even unlock the screen. I dropped the phone in the rain so I'm not sure if it's simply the screen or if water has gotten in to the cracks?

Anyways, I am trying to make a decision on wether to sell my broken phone to Mazuma mobile and get around $120 back, or wether it's worth trying to get fixed. I'm not confident fixing phones, so ordering in the screen and attempting it is not an option. What I want to know, is what are the chances of a local repair shop being able to source a mega screen, and fix it, for a decent cost that would make getting it fixed the better option? Since you have just installed a screen I figure you at least know how much the part is
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
You can buy the lcd screen + digitizer which comes all pre-assembled and all you have to do it swap the whole screen + digitizer out as one unit..this way no fear of breaking anything..i see one on ebay for $158.00 US for the mega 6.3 i9200..but i think it will also work on the other 6.3 mega models..as they must all be the same that way...but i am not 100% sure on that. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
If you get the lcd and digitizer together, you can fix yourself and it's easy just as star master says. If you have a shop nearby they can replace just the glass
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
And don't sell. $120 is a freaking rip off
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] leetrevor81:
How much do you think it would go for on ebay? (or somewhere else) I didn't think a damaged phone would be worth selling?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
That phone is still with over $200 as is.just the good motherboard alone. Especially if it had a clean imei number..then counting other parts of the phone too

Good tutorial how to fix it :)

There is some kind of double side transparent adhesive between LCD and digitizer. So good luck :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] khanfaizan1311:
Opened front glass

Hi, I opened front glass of Mega 5.8 to clean the dust inside it. When I put it back, the touch is not working. Earlier it was working perfectly, I did not remove any cables. Also that I cleaned it with dry cloth while the phone was on.

What may be the issue?﻿
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ReyesARG:
How does it separate?

Hi,

I've never worked on one of these before but I have repaired many GS3, GS4, Note 2 with no problems. You successfully repaired one so my question is, is the optical adhesive like the GS3 where it rubs off with your finger? I've noticed a difference in GS3 & GS4 adhesive the GS4 is more difficult to clean off digitizer.

That yellow flex cable in your pic looks like a Digitizer flex. The layers are LCD (bottom) / Digitizer (sits on top of LCD so center) / Glass (top which is what our finger touches).

I have a Mega coming in tomorrow and the customer bought just the glass online. I'll see if I can separate. If you have any questions let me know I have repaired many a phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] letus1:
Did you get it?

I wonder how was it going with your repair?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] b0g:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ReyesARG:
Adhesive is a problem

Hey,

No good. The LCD was lifting off the frame which is a guarantee to break on such a large device. Also the adhesive is not the same as the GS3, it doesn't separate as easy. I stopped after I noticed the optical adhesive was not the same so do not attempt to "Lift Separate"

The best way to remove this digitizer is with a hot plate & (.10mm) molybdenum wire and slowly drag the wire between the LCD & Digi while face down on hotplate.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gabe96:
If i separated the digitizer and the glass ftom the lcd, than can i bound the new one with LOCA or will that damage the LCD?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
I knew that was the only way to do it, with hot plate and fishing pole string. I'm sure it's a slow process. I'll have to invest in a good hot plate.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] VirtueToVice:
No huge investment needed, I use a standard electric pancake griddle which can be bought for around $20. Good, even heat. I've never tried the fishing line method but a pair of business cards does the job very well. I get it started with a dull razor blade in the corner and as soon as I see the glass separating, I slide a business card in behind it. Do the same for the other side. On these big screens, slide the cards down a bit, lay it down on heat, repeat. The trick to not busting the LCD is to keep the heat on it and take your time.

My temperature is set to 200 farenheit. Not sure off hand what that converts to in celsius. Ideally, you don't want the surface to pass 120 celsius. If in doubt, start low and increase temp slowly until the glue softens enough.

The glue we're taking about is LOCA[liquid optically clear adhesive] and is UV activated. It can be bought online pretty cheap. If you're going to replace the glass, go ahead and use the LOCA when putting the new glass on. I've seen sensitivity issues on glass that doesn't have the glue between it and the LCD. If you use the glue be sure to remove EVERYTHING from the frame including cameras, speakers, buttons and mics as it can get messy and go pretty much everywhere. To activate the glue you can literally take it outside on a sunny day and it will cure fairly quickly, about 5 mins or so. To remove it from unwanted areas just use a toothpick, toothbrush, and some rubbing alcohol. I've done it dozens of times this way and it always comes out looking factory fresh :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
What kind of griddle? This is the one without the edges right?

i have the metro pcs model and im going to replace the lcd, but i ordered an lcd that might not work with mine. There are different lcd replacements that are compatible with different model numbers. I ordered one off amazon that is compatible with I9200 I9205 I527. mine is sgh-m819n, you think it will still work?

---------- Post added at 03:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------

what model is it compatible with?? There are different lcds for the mega with mixed compatibility. I might have ordered the wrong one.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Hi..according to the info this will work on the i527, i9200 and the i9205 and I have ordered one myself for a i527m that I purchased with a slight crack in the digitizer only and some nicks on the chrome around the screen..but phone is in great shape otherwise and I will see how this works out as it should.

These models mentioned are the only ones that are listed for these phones that I have seen..but I cannot see why these ones should not work either unless the hardware is some what different setup in other models for the screen. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] tinpau60:
Well sorry for jumping into this, but I just bought one of the pre-assembled lcd digitizers and installed it and I have NO PICTURE!!. Checked all connections and even re-installed it. Same. Thought it must be a bad one, so I returned it and got another one. Same thing. I get the back and home buttons light up and vibration when turning on, but no picture.

Any one have any ideas ?? 2 different ones from 2 different suppliers ... can't both be bad.

Thanx in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Were did you get it from as i got one that is in those pictures above the whole frame with the digitizer and screen and which is 100% original, but i have not yet tried it on the phone i got with a slight cracked digitizer, instead of trying to just replace the digitizer i decided to get the whole front piece which has home button and the other two touch ones already in it, cost was $109.00 US and free shipping.

I got a i527m for repair and i am changing the whole housing also so it will look like brand new when i am done, one thing that is different on this i527m i got the back button and menu touch buttons light up in blue, never seen that before, but once i get this new screen in it should be back to it's white color i am thinking, i will let you know how this screen works as i will test it before even installing it into the phone itself. :)

Edit: What is your model number.?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] tinpau60:
It too is an I527... fricking driving me crazy... main problem is I can find no info on diagnosis on any of these things. everyone just seems to swap parts. I am a computer guy so I like to know reasons, and diagnosis for things, but it just seems that if it doesn't work, then replace it. I don't have another phone here to test it on so... Just very frustrating
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Unless you mainboard has a problem as it should work I am thinking..but I will try the one I got later today..and I sent you a pm with the ebay link were I purchased mine from. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Okay i have taken the back and middle housing off the repair unit and i connected the screen to the mainboard and the screen works great, just could not the lights for the soft touch buttons and home button as the plug connector is reversed the way the screen is sitting, but once all parts are put into this new screen assembly it all should work great..the touch screen works very well doing this test already. So i am not sure why yours is not working unless the seller you got yours from there is something wrong with the screens or it could be a mainboard problem. :)

I have added some pics below for you to see. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] tinpau60:
Thanx again, but same thing. I must have a main board problem. But I was so careful taking to all apart... did not pull on the connections or board. Used the tools.... Argh. Oh well, thank you again for helping to confirm my thoughts and feelings

Tinpau
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Sorry to hear that it did not work either..it sure sounds like a mainboard problem then as that many screens could not be bad..and you are welcome indeed. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] micxploed:
I finally changed my screen. The glass and the lcd were barely stuck together. In between them was lubricant, no adhesive what so ever. Didn't help that they were both broken anyway. Changing the lcd and digitizer was easy but I broke the home button thingamagiger so I ordered a new one. All in all this was my first screen replacement and altho I messed up once, I still fixed it myself instead of paying three times the amount of money. Also, the screen was not specific to my model but it still worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
When you guys cracked your screen, were your still able to use the touchscreen? I replaced about ten screens so I have ten good lcd but nine of the digitizer not working on the cracked screens. Anyone tried to replace the digitizer? They do sell the part separate on eBay. I'll try to separate he two and report back
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Here is the end result of repairing the mega i posted pics of earlier and has completely new housing and new screen assembly, like a new phone again and everything is working like a charm. :D

i527m bad lcd

Hi starmaster i have a i527m with bad lcd and digitizer, Could you tell me where did you buy yours? because i search internet and there are many for i527 but none for a i527m or you think those will fit my i527m from bell canada? thank you man.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Hi..I sent you a pm with the seller I got my digitizer and screen from. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] balabas:
Samsung mega glass

Hi all

I exchanged LCD and digitizer on my SGH-I527. I bought whole assembly and it worked fine until couple of days ago.

Of course glass says SAMSUNG, but it is not an original SAMSUNG part.

I received an ATT update message, started update, restarted device and stock on boot screen loop.

The problem is 4.4 update ruins LCD and digitizer... No touch response, just boot screen.

Boot loader updated to 4.4 and there is no way to downgrade to stock firmware.

Question to all - what is my options?

Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gonehaywire:
Hot Plate

One question that may be dumb. How do you hold your work still if you are sawing on it with the wire, or do you pull it straight down?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jimmykirby:
recheck digitizer ribbon

My new assembly worked until I allowed an update as well. after days of fiddling and googleing I discovered that I had failed to remove the adhesive backing from the digi. ribbon. and the ribbon worked out a little causing the bootloop. The ribbon wont go in far enough without some persuasion. Alignment lines are painted in the ribbons and have to overlap each other. Further the ribbon must adhere ( remove the adhesive baching from the back of the ribbon. under the chip so the vibrator wont work it loose again.) to the assembly. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Egrier:
Having issues with a i527 screen that I replaced also. The display works fine but the digitizer is dead. I got the whole assembly with the midframe too.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
Anyone else successful separating digitizer from lcd using the griddle method?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] n3fta:
I've tried twice and failed both times. The second one I attempted was about 90% removed when it cracked, I was using a griddle but not a fishing line, I will attempt this again at some point in time with a fishing line as it is absolutely doable, just need the proper tools.

Beware of the cheap china replacement LCD. Many of these will not work on 4.4, I have no idea why they don't work I just know they do. If buying off ebay look for warnings on the ads, most honest sellers will make note of the fact that the LCD will not work on 4.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
One.seller.has genuine lcd. Just make.sure the digitizer has the synaptics controller
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
Has anyone ordered any oem lcd digitizer in the past month?I can't seem to find any that's under $200. Are the non oem working yet with 4.4?

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
They are high now for oem. Like about $200. They were just $60. Guess supply must be slow. I'll look around again today and see if anyone restocked
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Dartagnam:
Hi,

My phone has fallen and now the lcd screen seems to work correctly, but when I try to use the touchscreen it doesn't work. There are several scratches on the screen, and I would like to know if I can buy any digitizer from the seller nypc-tech, are they working with Android 4.4?

Do you think I will able to change the touchscreen? I don't know if I will be lucky or if maybe the touch controller on the motherboard got damaged, I did not order anything because I don't know if there is a way to know if the motherboard has been broken or not without spending money...

It's a nice phone, it would be a shame if it can't get repaired!

I hope someone could help me.

Thanks you!

Just wanted to vent. Put it down in the WaWa, sometime picked it up, with her purse, and took off!

Android Device Manager, not so useful. Tracked the phone until it was turned off, I sent lock and wrote commands which was accepted but have no clue if it really went through. Verizon says it's dead, even on skell services like frawg.

Asurion replacement coming, rep assured it'll be new and not a refurbished unit. Insurance it's a good thing. Venting over.

[G2 General] Ajoli:
Someone tried stealing my phone. Unlucky for him I work with a lot of cops and used a plan b app. Locked the phone (to where it can't even be turned off without pin, none removable battery), tracked it as I could then activated a siren function.

Guy was pulled out of a cafe with a siren alarming phone by cops while I unlocked the phone, proving it was mine.

Good thing for insurance though. Never trust provider to track it.
[G2 General] tdotM:

anyway to batch transfer all photos to my note 3? i only see options to do 1 by 1..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Vanlome:
I just found a way that worked for me. It is not AUTO-transfer, but if you open gallery and press and hold on a picture it will open a new window that shows a share button, a phone with an arrow (which is the transfer button), a delete button, and on the upper right corner a check mark looking button. If you hit the check mark button it will select all photos and then hit the transfer button you can send all photos at one time.

I've been having this weird issue for a long time now.

If I install a 4.3 Rom on my S-off Unlocked Developer Edition HTC One the Green led lights will not flash when I get an email or text message.

and yes they are all enabled in the settings an in the messaging settings. I just find this really weird that it will work fine on 4.2.2 based roms.

The amber charging light works fine while its charging and when the battery is full it turns green so the leds do work. and it flashes red when the battery is low so what gives??

Has anyone here seen the Note 3 keyboard that shows as installed on your "all" list in google play.... at the bottom, but not in your installed list? I never got an update notification nor did I approve it. It just keeps popping up a few days after I install firmware from various sites. I also have a few other apps pop up that I do not install. They show up as incompatible with my device but show as installed. Go look and see if you have this. I'm thinking I picked up some bullsh*t because I can't get rid of it. My system partitions are jacked up and I think it's embedded in my phone. I have tired to use pit files with firmware. None of that works. My phone won't flash the firmware if I attach a pit file.

I purchased some cheap OTG cables a while back off Amazon and don't remember them ever working on my Bionic, Thunderbolt, DroidX, LG Revo, Sero 7 Pro, or Nook Color. I plugged a USB stick into it and it worked great on my G2. Even found a way to record the HD 1080 60fps video directly to USB stick via OTG. Also mouse via hub and memory stick all worked together. No go for USB LAN.
