Mine just arrived yesterday. My thought it will be really crappy China knock-off unit since it is only USD 40.00 but fortunately I was wrong! My first impression? Well for starter, it is perfectly cut. No bulge, no flexing, etc. Very good! Even the LG logo look original though.

Then I test the unit. Well guess what? LCD color reproduction is very,very,veryyy close to original! In fact, I cant even spot the difference from original screen. Viewing angle, color, brightness, everything is perfect! White is more whiter than original LCD which is a little bit turn-off for me (I prefer yellowish/warmer tone) but it is by no mean a defect. Lol. Black is not as deep on original LCD though especially on full brightness. Maybe thats a trade-off for whiter white? Idk.

Now for the touchscreen part, Im still impressed by its performance too! No ghost touch, no crazy touch when charging, perfectly calibrated. For now everything is working perfectly.

Now as i can see, there are 3 things that different from original assembly.

1 - No oleophobic/hydrophobic coating.

2 - Bottom flex cable is a little bit thick. (0.1 mm thicker??)

3 - Front camera hole is little off. (not affecting camera performance)

Now mind you because the flex cable is thicker, the screen bottom part will not stick to the frame if the adhesive arent strong enough. I actually used 2mm 3M Scotch-brand tape (2mm 3M 9080 ZQ series) and it wont do it job properly. Now im using original pre-cut adhesive and it work well.
[G2 General] beankid:
Edit: I spoke too soon. It's the same as before... Looks like I'll be getting a new display.

I took it apart and cleaned the frame assembly and put new adhesive behind the screen. Thought I fixed it....

In relation to this thread, this is all good information about screens and sellers. Since I've taken it apart twice now it's all pretty simple.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Hey man!

Any updates on the sim card reader swap?

Were you able to replace the old reader assembly?
[G2 General] hwsv07:
unfortunately, it did not turn out well. tried to do it myself. became too complicated. so i decided to go to one of those handphone shops and they quoted me 50 bucks to repair it. decided it was too expensive....
[G2 General] Lpedraja2002:
What about these ebay sellers?

I'm one of the unlucky ones that got a faulty digitizer with their phone. Screen and phone looks like new but after 11 months I got the dreadful dead horizontal line and now I have some dead spots too. I remember one LG support technician told me that the digitizers were faulty but he couldn't help me since my hone was an International phone. Anyway...

I was looking on ebay at these two sellers:

Seller : ipartsrepair2013 (5880 ) 98.1% Positive feedback

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121414886797?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT#shpCntId

Seller : cellphone-parts (64718 ) 96.9% Positive feedback

http://www.ebay.com/itm/151616745993?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

The sellers have pretty good feedback. Does anyone here has any experience with them?

The thing I'm worried about the most with this phone is that the replacement screen will eventually meet the same fate as the stock screen. I had the phone in its case since its first week and even while feeling like a new phone the touchscreen just got the way it is, I don't know if it happens with every phone, but my brother's G2 started doing the same thing after 3 months!

Can someone with experience please reply? Has the replacement work well after some time? I've read through the entire thread but I' curious of how these will turn out in the long run.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Haven't tried these sellers yet.

Be sure to read the sellers feedback especially the negatives and see if any red flags come up especially folks talking about not as advertised product etc.

If all is well, make sure you confirm they carry the international version before you purchase!

As for longevity, there's no way to tell if the original batch of digitizers are all out in the field and newer more durable units are being manufactured.

With that said I haven't run into anyone who's bought a new screen and needed a replacement for the exact same screen issue.

My new digitizer still works perfectly ( knock on wood) and I would imagine everyone else's.
[G2 General] Lpedraja2002:
Tiuy99, after much consideration I think I will go with the amazon seller you recommended. For $5 more they sell it with the frame assembly and I prefer the simplicity over having to unglue the screen. I will do as you did and email them with my concerns over the screens, maybe I will copy your email and send it to them so I receive a screen as nice as yours :)

Will let you guys know how it all turns out, though it might be a while since shipping to Puerto Rico will take 1 or 2 weeks.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Sounds good.

Just make sure you change the wording around in my email so it's not obvious you copied it.

Also keep us posted on how it turns out :)

As for me, got my uv lamp tonight.

Ran it for a while.

Screen got a little sharper. Not much but enough to notice.

Some fuzz is gone but not 100%.

My verdict:

The lamp is good for new LOCA jobs and would have helped if I did a brand new LCD swap job but doesn't help much to correct already set LOCA.

I MAY fix the original broken screen with a brand new glass only repair in the near future.

When that happens, rest assured I'll document the entire process and provide pics.

I'll probably redo this one as well for kicks.

Until then, I'm going to enjoy the phone in all its glory as is :D
[G2 General] igos2:
I received a refurbished lg g2 ls980 yesterday, and the screen looks wired compared to my other g2 d802,it's full of small boxs. Is it the normal ls980 screen or it's a replacement screen ?

So far the screen perform good, colors, luminosity and view angles are the same compared to d802 but the boxs are visibles when screen is off, see the attached pictures.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
The boxes are normal. It's part of the digitizer glass.

My phone had them when it was brand new.
[G2 General] ntragas:
have anyone here tried this site?They claim 12 months waranty...

I found this one too.I chat with the seller now and he claims to be the original lg g 2 screen.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Awesome!

Which one are you going with?
[G2 General] rancur3p1c:
my ebay replacement screen is definitely more-blue. the whites look like 7000k color. ugly .

edges of the gorilla glass don't taper as smoothly to the bezel either.

---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------

how can you tell?

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

this stuff is really starting to bug me. I just got the phone new and want to have a 'new experience' even though I just broke the screen. Considering just buying another next $175 LG G2 pricedrop.

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

mine, too, is super sensitive. I can't get it to register without touching, but after a touch, or with a touch-drag, I can lift finger and continue dragging without my finger on the screen. Hmm...

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

yes, that behavior from amazon making using them a frustrating and inconsistent experience.
[G2 General] ntragas:
Don't know.I want to try the aliexpress seller because he says that this is the original screen but i am afraid it may be a scam.I have never purchased anything from aliexpress .
[G2 General] tiguy99:
My wife has shopped with them. Same as buying an international item on Amazon...takes forever to get there but you do get what you bought for the most part.

My Amazon experience was inconsistent however I found asking the questions up front helped a great deal.

If the seller wasn't willing to at least take a moment and look into their product I went somewhere else.
[G2 General] dakitz:
Hello ya'll... Is there any way to tell if lcd has been replaced on LG G2? I'm considering buying used G2, but this with replacement lcd quality has got me worried because I don't want to end up with low quality screen. Since G2 screen is one of the main reasons I'm switching to this phone.

Thanks
[G2 General] Izy:
the chances of it being a screen replacement are slim and even then low quality is slim.

just people who use xda are having bad experiences
[G2 General] ntragas:
http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-g2-d802-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-white.html

Ok guys extradesupply has stock again.I hear very good reviews about this site and it says it is original oem product.Only one question in the description it says

Compatible With: LG G2 AT&T D802,LG G2 D805 for Latin American.I have an lg g2 d802 european version(Germany).Is it compatible?
[G2 General] tiguy99:
That's a question I would confirm with them.

Not sure off there are more versions of D802 models.

I have the D801 so I'm not sure if the connectors are different.

I disagree. There's a good chance more people are having screens swapped but aren't posting because either they don't know about xda, are posting on other forums or going to LG direct.

I wouldn't worry too much about this. Just focus on finding a mint condition G2 in the color you want. Pay a little more for a newer one or someone anal who took care of their phone.

If I were to sell my G2 now, it would be in near perfect condition even with the screen swap.

Everthing came out perfect and the phone still doesn't have a scratch or nick on it anywhere.

Even the internals are perfect.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Hey guys.

Have decided to repair my original screen with a glass only repair!

Will be ordering some equipment soon.

Very excited
[G2 General] 350Rocket:
I got an lcd/digitizer assembly from etradesupply. Someone is replacing it for me for free, I'll get it back tomorrow night and report back.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Please keep us posted & share your results in the poll!

Which seller did you buy it from?

As for me, just ordered my equipment.

No turning back now!!!!!
[G2 General] 350Rocket:
I ordered it straight from etradesupply website. It came in about 4 days as they indicated it would. Well packaged in a Tupperware like container filled with foam. No way it was getting damaged lol. Also ordered a tempered glass screen protector with it. Total was $100 with tax and shipping for both. Expensive but better than having a $160 paperweight or a phone with a crappy screen.

Going to try it for bit and see if I want to replace my nexus 4 with it.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Nice!

Please excuse my duhh moment.

One thing I like about etradesupply is they do package their product very well.

Can't wait to hear how it worked out
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Haven't heard much about dbxstore.

Please share more about how there the best.

Want to get the word out for good sellers in this thread.

How was the service when you used them?
[G2 General] 350Rocket:
Got my phone back. Looks good so far with the new display. No more blotches underneath, and the screen isn't lifting up anymore. Looks like it was replaced in the past with a cheaper screen. This one seems much better.
[G2 General] beankid:
How much was shipping for the screen from etradesupply? Do they have the part in stock in the States?
[G2 General] tbob18:
I'm considering the etradesupply one now (this one). How are the viewing angles and brightness?
[G2 General] 350Rocket:
I can't remember, the shipping wasn't a lot. It was in stock in HK, the glass screen protector was in the US. At least that's what I remember. Still only took 4 days.

I haven't used it outdoors yet because I haven't switched my sim card over from my nexus. Just using it on wifi at home in the evenings. I'll hopefully be using it outdoors for work this week.
[G2 General] funkateer2:
That's the one I bought from ETrade supply, for d802 . around 13$ for the shipping. Very good quality I dont see any difference with the original one. Vision in angles is very good . great packaging in a tupperware 4days to come from hk. No problem at all with this product..
[G2 General] Hellon:
I have to say that the quality of LG G2 lcd replacement from HCQS (hcqs.com.cn/products/LG-G2-D802-LCD-screen.html) is just as the same as the original screen. I have changed for about 3 weeks and my LG G2 runs well.
[G2 General] beankid:
Anyone else here used etradesupply? The price seems pretty good. Having trouble finding a decent all out replacement for the phone for less than $150. Something to hold me over until the Nexus 2015 is released.

Edit: Well I went ahead and took the plunge to get one full replacement with frame from etradesupply. Hopefully this screen will last me this time. Thankfully I got the phone for free from my carrier so I am only in the hole 140 (two replacement screens now).
[G2 General] funkateer2:
Yes. All in 78$. I think it's cheap for a display which seems to ne an original one
[G2 General] beankid:
I hope the quality is there and it will last me until my contract is up. Going through all of this makes me want to get a case for the device. All the trouble started when I dropped the phone and cracked the screen... stupid clumsy self hahah
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Hey everyone!

Thank you guys for sharing your successes.

Know the information has been ultra helpful to me and will help others.

As for me, I got my equipment and tomorrow should have a brand new digitizer glass.

Looking forward to swapping out the glass on my broken screen and sharing the results over the weekend.

If you haven't already, please share your results in the poll.
[G2 General] Ploxorz:
I thought my screen was bad so I ordered a new screen from etradesupply. Replacement is great quality and looks to be OEM has the same part number. Also note that all screens except international are interchangeable any model screen will work (etradesupply was sold out of verizon specific screens) and bonus you get rid of the verizon logo. The frames are different for Vs980 so don't buy a screen with frame. All other phones including sprint model have the same frame

Well turns out the screen wasn't even the problem since it's still glitching out the exact same as before. (Doesn't show in the picture but it gets worse.) Phone is completely functional other than the glitching but unusable because you can't see what you're pressing.

View attachment 3360423

My guess is that the gpu is malfunctioning and I need a new motherboard. Sucks because motherboards are cheaper and easier to install. Now I'm not sure if I should just cut my losses, I could have just bought a different used g2 if I spend the money on the screen and motherboard :crying:
[G2 General] kopter36:
If I were you, i will try to sell those extra screen. At least that way you didnt lose so much and you can use those money for another used G2.
[G2 General] beankid:
I would agree with that. I'm going the same route if it turns out something other than my screen is the problem in my case. *Fingers crossed* that the screen is at fault and it's a case of a loose wire in the digitizer. My screen and frame from etradesupply arrives on Monday. Hopefully it all goes smoothly.

Edit: Just received my new frame and screen from etradesupply and I must say they do a very good job on shipping/packing/price for what you get. The process was smooth switching everything over. The screen quality from the initial testing is fantastic. I will report back after a week of using but it's fixed my issue, must have been a bad screen connector causing my ghost touches *figners crossed.*

LG G2 F320S LCD replacement

Hi,

I have touchpad issues with my Korean F320S LG G2 as some of its areas do not respond. Where can I buy a new replacement LCD screen+Digitizer online for this, also let me know the approx price and if this was genuine.

Thanks
[G2 General] Vierkantdel:
Keeping an eye on this one. I bought a used LG G2 D802 which currently looks like this:

http://i.imgur.com/VBLssBR.jpg

I ordered a replacement display and digitizer from eBay because I don't have the tools required to separate the display from the digitizer, nor the proper cleaning solvents.

Should I be worried for paying a mere 42 dollars for a display and digitizer like this? I replaced the display from my old GT-I9001 a while ago and noticed the display was much more yellow compared to the original.
[G2 General] tbob18:
Thanks for the update! I just went ahead and ordered one. Wish me luck.. Have had terrible luck so far. I just want this phone to last until my contract is up. :)
[G2 General] kopter36:
How did you use that phone with cracked screen like that? Does it register touch well? Last time I heard someone who broke the glass on G2 and still have digitizer working well are using non-original replacment LCD + digitizer assembly. I could be wrong..
[G2 General] beankid:
Yeha man good luck with the replacement. Take your time if it's the first time taking the phone apart. The hardest part is removing the battery. Make sure you get all the parts transferred over. I went ahead and ordered a case and screen protector for the phone to hopefully *fingers crossed* keep this phone for a few more months.
[G2 General] tbob18:
Yea, I damaged my battery the second time I took my phone apart. Now my new battery is just sitting in there without adhesive because I took my phone apart so many times. :)

Kind of strange, it's like my payment still hasn't cleared or something and I ordered last night.. It still says processing, yet my the money has already been removed from my Paypal.
[G2 General] beankid:
It takes a bit for them to process the payment. If you are located in the States and they had it in their Dallas warehouse then you'll get it pretty fast. I ordered mine on Thursday, shipped on Friday and received it on Monday.
[G2 General] tbob18:
Funny thing, it just changed to Pending Shipment. :)
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Glad to see everyone moving forward with their replacements.

Please keep us posted on how the replacement quality looks compared to stock.

As for me, managed to seperate the lcd from the digitizer using the separator machine however I cracked the lcd pretty badly.

Note to self.... While seperating go from top to bottom and that's it!

Don't ask me how I know lol

Thank God I was able to get a replacement lcd cheap.

Will post pics and details later this week once my replacement gets here.

This entire process has been "quite educational" to say the least
[G2 General] tbob18:
Got my frame assembly from ETrade Supply. All went well and it seems to be working perfectly. No haziness, no glass separation, good color temperature, good brightness, and no ghost touches yet. :good:

Hopefully it stays that way. I'm worried about the glass separating, but we will see.

Edit: Aaand it's already separating.... :(
[G2 General] beankid:
Really? Already separating? I'd email their support team and ask them about a replacement.

I just checked mine, took the case off of it and it's twisted ...... the whole phone..... hmmm Can't say that I'm happy to see this. Doesn't really make much sense since I've been pretty careful with the phone in the last week and it hasn't been dropped. Come on baby....last until October when the new Nexus is released......
[G2 General] tbob18:
Yeah.. Also, noticed a small pressure mark, can only see it on full brightness with a black background... Not a huge deal though.

I feel like that tape just isn't enough to hold the screen in properly as every single screen I've had has had this issue. Some kind of silicone glue or even hot glue would probably work much better.

My original screen took a few weeks, but luckily the phone started acting up so Sprint replaced it for free. The second phone took a few months, but I didn't want to deal with it so I just ignored it. Then I broke the digitizer after about 8 months. The two replacements I got from ebay had the issue from the get go, but it was much worse than this one.. The screens were basically falling out before I even installed them.

I really don't want to have to send the screen back beforehand, I may just wait see if it gets really bad.. If it does I may practice with some glue on my "slow" replacement and see if it holds and if I can keep the glue off of the digitizer.
[G2 General] Vierkantdel:
[/COLOR]

It still works perfectly fine yet, so no worries about that. But it's an eyesore to look at to be honest.

I took another image to get a better illustration of the damage here: http://i.imgur.com/wotmPmr.jpg
[G2 General] kopter36:
Oh wow! There is no way touchscreen still works with damage like that in original screen with no-gap system.. Lol.. But either that is win-win situation for you..
[G2 General] Hellon:
After shattering my LG g2 screen, I bought a replacement screen for my phone supplied by hcqs.com.cn.

Got it replaced and so far, the quality (colours, brightness, touch accuracy) is very good, just like the original one.:)
[G2 General] jal3223:
Does anyone know the current price LG is charging to replace the LCD?
[G2 General] Vierkantdel:
How exactly win-win, if I may ask? I'm stuck with a disgusting crack until that digitizer arrives. Yesterday I was scrolling through a page when I accidentally chipped off a small part on the upper hand of the display, where you see that nasty gap.
[G2 General] kopter36:
Well what I meant to say was its lucky you could still use your phone.. When mine got broke, it just a hairline crack just below the earpiece and I cant touch anything on top half of the screen.. That is how delicate it was.. Yours are shattered and still register touch pretty well that is awesome.. Lol.
[G2 General] Ploxorz:
Other than replacing my screen for no reason, since the gpu was actually bad the screen from etradesupply is great quality, its indistinguishable from the original.

I did my own installation with the 3m 2mm adhesive but my screen is separating though :(

I covered every spot possible where it touches with adhesive, I don't think i could have done it better, I don't get how the lcd is supposed to stay in the frame.

Anyone else have this problem, what did you do?
[G2 General] rick09:
Sorry I can't assist in your problem but when I replaced my screen I bought the lcd/digitizer and frame assembly. Strictly to avoid that problem. Final cost with shipping in the US was $68. Also makes teardown and assembly so much easier.

Sent from my LG-D801
[G2 General] Ploxorz:
Yeah I definitely would have done that but the VS980 has a different frame than all the other models (thanks verizon -_-) and it was out of stock probably permanently.
[G2 General] jal3223:
I've read that clear silicone adhesive holds really good. It's cheap and it can be removed if you have to replace it again in the future.
[G2 General] jafazec:
Hey,where did you buy screen with frame assembly at that price?And how are you satisfied with the quality?
[G2 General] Ploxorz:
Would you happen to have a link or know exactly what people use?
[G2 General] jal3223:
It's basically the same stuff you can buy at Wal-Mart. I believe this was the one that was linked to though.

http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-80050-Silicone-Adhesive-Sealant/dp/B0002UEPVI

Again, I've never tried it myself but it does look promising. Let us know if you decide to give it a go though.
[G2 General] rick09:
Sorry for the late reply. I got it through Amazon but the company that sold it is called ePartSolution

https://www.epartsolution.com/index...search_in_description=1&keyword=LG+g2&x=0&y=0

Quality seems very decent, color, touch, fit etc. Came with double stick adhesive already applied in all the same spots as the original OEM assembly. Packaged nicely in antistatic plastic then several layers of bubble wrap and a fitted box. Overall I'm very happy to have my phone back to working like it should.

Sent from my LG-D801
[G2 General] jafazec:
Ok,great,thanks for replying at all ;) got another g2 for free,that has a cracked screen ao I wanted to replace it and forward to my brother...thanks again!
