Its unfortunate both of you had similar situations but this part is good to know.

Add them to the list of unreliable screen suppliers.

IMO....BEST bet at this point ....to avoid any confusion....buy another G2 with a good screen...even if the rest of the phone is broken.

Swap the screen assembly in....problem solved.
[G2 General] rustybronnco:
tiguy99,

I have a LCD/Digitizer combo coming from a ebay supplier by the name of phonepartsupplier2014. If his listing is correct, then by all outward appearances, it is the real deal or a darn good copy of one. Search out listing number 121593010004 and look carefully at the numbers on the LCD and digitizer. They compare favorably with the one in Etrade supplies listing for the S+ grade combo. No one can state whether or not the polarizer and LOCA used is the same as the original used, but I can't see why they wouldn't be as those are the least cost items is the device.

One other interesting fact is, phonepartsupplier2014 has a factory in HK China AND Dallas Texas just like Etrade. Wishing and hoping for the best. I will let you know the outcome when I can.

regards,

Dale

I received the LCD/Digitizer combo from phonepartsupplier2014 today.

There is no doubt in my mind it's an original LG product. The return address on the box was Etrade supply, the LCD connector had LG display company on it with the LH520WF1-SD01_V03 designation, but most importantly the cardboard protector taped to one side of the combo had this...

Original or not?

Hello, I have to replace my G2 D802 display + touch screen + frame, I've searched on eBay and some Spanish sellers wrote "LG Original" in the title of the item (about 55 euro): should I trust them or it's better to buy a cheaper one (about 35 euro) from UK sellers?

Thanks
[G2 General] rustybronnco:
My opinion is it's a mixed bag on most displays you get off ebay. Etrade supply has an S+ version that is OEM.

This supplier appears to have OEM displays as well.

Teseko LCD Display Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly for LG G2 D800 D801 D803 LS980 VS980 with DIY Tools --(Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JRS1O32/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_mHC8CLquFRMs2

I got it installed. A little tricky since it was my first time but overall pretty straight forward.
[G2 General] ///Manuel:
Most Recent Options

I bought 3 eBay G2's, one has a completely dead digitizer (failed in a couple of weeks), the other ones the dreaded dead zone near the power button. One ghost touches like crazy when warm, the other one is more usable. After lots of research, it seems that the easiest/safest option is the replace the frame/digitizer together so it doesn't lift etc.

On Amazon the options are: ePartSolution, Skiliwah, Teseko and Generic(?).

On eBay, I found a couple of sellers with 100% feedback or good return policy (90 days).

The thing is we live out of the US and return items back to the US is complicated for us.

I have read that eTradeSupply has some good screens but after some research it's still not 100% despite the higher price tag (shipping, etc.). Most on Amazon are 50/50.

And finally, even if the replacement screen work, are they known to work ok for how long?

We are a little lost with these phones. They have great performance, beautiful screen, nice size, but with all these screen issues, it's a little frustrating.

What do you suggest?
[G2 General] fuibauer:
I ordered a Display from phonepartsupplier2014 on eBay since rustybronco mentioned those Guys. They are the only ones that claim Gorilla Glas in the description and reply very fast and friendly. Cant wait to get the Display.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Please keep us posted!

Would love to hear how it came out
[G2 General] rustybronnco:
I replaced mine today. It looks and works just like the OEM screen it replaced. The back of the digitizer appears different than the original but it "chooched" just fine. Viewing angles were perfect. Probably 165 degrees from all angles if not more.

Worth the money I paid for it.

EDIT...

The digitizer isn't OEM. The silk screening on the back differs from stock and it does not have the coating on it to repel oils like the OEM does. Other than that, it works perfectly.
[G2 General] tekweezle:
A few weeks with the Teseko screen, it's been working well, no dead spots or problems others have experienced.

I find the LG knock code feature works better. Don't know if that's screen related.
[G2 General] kha1rul:
[MENTION=6276698]rustybronnco[/MENTION] [MENTION=3914182]fuibauer[/MENTION]

Did you guys make an offer to the seller? If so, what offer did they accept?

I know that rustybronnco bought the item without the frame, so fuibauer: did you also buy it without the frame?

(There's no Gorilla Glass mentioned on the one with frame, which is slightly worrying)
[G2 General] fuibauer:
I bought this one (http://www.ebay.at/itm/112206180283?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT). There they mentioned it with gorilla glas but i didn't recieve the item yet. I offered him 1 dollar less and he accepted :). Ill keep this updated when i get the display.
[G2 General] rustybronnco:
IIRC I paid $36 USD for mine.

It does have the LG logo.
[G2 General] fuibauer:
So i got the Display and tested it a bit. The screen quality looks like the same as the original (view angel and so on) but the touchscreen isnt oem. i wont say its bad but i need to test it better. About the the glas dunno but the it seems like gorilla glas. And like rusty metioned the sku is the same as etradesupply (ESLG14022019120-23-315 its on the invoice). Overall for the price its seems good :D.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Thanks guys!

Very happy to hear we have some additional great sources

For european users, I think that these 2 should be fine and genuine, reading the feedbacks:

From Spain: http://www.ebay.it/itm/Pantalla-Com...ra-LG-G2-D802-D806-Negro-Negra-/171546713155?

From Germany: http://www.ebay.it/itm/Original-LG-...-Screen-komplett-Set-Rahmen-Sc-/332145180173?

Any experience with them?
[G2 General] fuibauer:
Got some spare time and repaired my phone. As i wrote above the screen is good, viewing angle is like stock. Only the touch screen is aftermarket piece but touch is working good so far. I did the repair with b-7000 glue. The glue is godlike! Note the photo is with the foil and the nexus 5 camera isnt the best =)!
[G2 General] tekweezle:
After 2 months with the repaired G2 and the teseko screen, only negative is that the touch screen is non responsive/ghost touches when charging from USB. Don't know what would cause that. Other than that, everything else works well
[G2 General] Tuxacc:
OEM LG G2 Display

Hello everyone!

Im looking forward to purchase a replacement screen for my G2 and saw that some of you mentioned some great alternatives to ETRADESUPPLY.

Can you please give me a little more detail of the display you bought from phonepartsupplier2014, like for example:

1. Does the screen performs identical to it's original part in direct sunlight?

2. After replacement are you noticing any white spots/pressure marks, dead pixels or low luminosity?

3. Display getting warm to the point that feels unconfortable holding compared to the original part?

I'm asking you because i had some negative experience with the replacement screens i bought from AE. The last display i bought, cracked at a slight pressure when i was trying to put back the battery cover (on the aftermarket part, the plastic holes from the display frame don't align properly with the back cover so it takes pressure to put them into place - one by one). Later on, after i chilled from the fact that i ruined a perfectly working screen i noticed that on the middle left side of the display there's a white spot and 2 dead pixels and the digitizer isn't glued properly, as i can see the backlight coming trough. I should have been more careful when putting back the plastic cover but the bottom line is that the ones sold on AE are really crappy.

So, where do you guys advise me to buy from and how are the replaced display assemblies working so far?

Thanks!
[G2 General] fuibauer:
I would say the screen does perform like the stock one. Colours are good and bright! As i said the touch isnt original and the glas feels like gorilla but broke pretty easy... Cant say much about sunlight because it broke pretty fast (i didnt used it outside at that time) and i dont want to repair it again. But the display hadn't any white spots/pressure marks, dead pixels or low luminosity and wasnt warm.. Ordered an zuk 2 as an loaner and wait for the snapdragon 835 to come =). hope i could help you.
[G2 General] Tuxacc:
Thanks for the feedback :D I will have to decide first if the cost of the replacement justifies (66$ on etradesupply with included shipping and claiming it to be an oem part). The other alternative with 'phonepartsupplier2014' doesn't seem a viable option anymore if the digitizer is so fragile. I will have to think about it and consider buying an refurbished G3 for 100-120$. Zuk Z2 seems beastly hardware wise and the price you are paying for it. Hope you will use it for a long time and without issues :D
[G2 General] fuibauer:
I wouldnt pay 66 $ for the etrade display because for 100 $ you get a better phone! The G2 is slowly dying... Paid for my zuk 156 € so cant complain =)!
[G2 General] Val D.:
Just replaced the screen on my LG G2 D803 device. The digitizer stopped working on the original one. Replacement part was purchased from eBay, full front frame assembly, about $40 USD including shipping from California, USA to Ontario, Canada.

Some observations:

- JDI display version, had to update the kernel to make it work (was showing white stripes)

- Screen area is more visible when the phone is off, not as black as the original

- Picture quality is OK, but not as good as on the original screen (back light dimmer, some brighter areas, etc.)

- Digitizer is a different type, fine dots pattern on the glass is different (not a concern)

- Notifications LED hole is smaller than on the original screen (not a concern)

- Glass quality is questionable, most likely not original Gorilla Glass (needs screen protector)

Everything works well after the repair, no complaints. Price/quality ratio is OK. Took about 1h to swap all the parts. I have previous experience repairing phones though.
[G2 General] nrg84:
Hello guys, do your replacements have a chromium border on the frame? The original one don't have it, but the replacement does, making the phone bigger and therefore incompatible with any case I use.

Thanks
[G2 General] Tuxacc:
Hello!

The replacement assy bought from aliexpress has a chrome border around the display. It was really hard for me to attach the back cover (a more detailed explanation on my previous post) and in the end i managed to break the display because i put too much pressure on the digitizer. So, be carefull with the force you apply so you don't end with a broken display. However, didn't have any issues fitting a plastic protection case bought from AE. I can give you the product link (plastic case) on private if you wish.
[G2 General] nrg84:
Thanks Tuxacc, I've already applied the display and it works, but it's not good quality and the display has started to detach from the frame.

Did your old frame (the original one) have the chrome border too?
[G2 General] Tuxacc:
If i recall well, on the original part there's only one chrome line (frame side) where the frame meets the battery housing and thats it. Regarding your problem, there are plenty of tutorials on the web showing you how to reattach the digitizer/display to the frame and i heared that the 'RED TAPE' adhesive is a pretty good solution. I also recommend you to read the previous pages of this topic as you can get valuable information on how to fix this issue. Good luck!
[G2 General] thenetvines:
On my T-mobile LG G2 I have a "hardware key control mode" message, and the digitizer gradually became non responsive at all. Would replacing the glass, and digitizer together fix this? is KNONEW from Amazon any good? (they are an Amazon sponsored now)
[G2 General] Lpedraja2002:
Wow can't believe I never replied back. For good karma I just wanted to say that I ended up buying my replacement screen from: https://www.fixez.com/store/lg/lg-g2

The product and shipping time were all excellent and my screen was just like the original in shape. It was noticeable a bit brighter but the colors were equally as good. The main difference was that if you touched the screen with force you would get a slight visual "squish" effect in the area but It never harmed the screen while doing that and it requires quite a bit of force so It never bothered me. The screen worked perfectly for a few months after a clean format but I started getting the same touch screen issues as before and after hard bricking my phone trying solutions I just boxed it and forgot about it till the other day.

I unbricked the sob with a ton of guides and had to short capacitors and whatnot but I managed to get it running with Lineage OS and the time I spent playing with it I never got an issue which leads me to believe that the main issue wasn't the screen but my phone model.... I have an LG-G2 from Claro which is officially listed as a D-801 but it actually uses a modified D-803 firmware. I came to belief that the crappy Claro firmware is what caused the issues eventually, since now with Lineage OS it seemed good. To anyone still looking for a replacement screen use the site I mentioned, the qulity and service is excellent and I believe theyre from the usa which is good for fast shipping.
[G2 General] Tuxacc:
Glad to see you managed somehow to revive your phone. Refurbished phones from AE usually have the issue you encountered, from what i have readed on the forums (mixed parts from different variants). I managed to fix mine aswell and went for the screen/digitizer/frame combo from etradesupply wich is listed now at 38$ plus the outrageous shipping fee. The display seems to OEM but the digitizer is a chinese plastic replica wich has the same 'ripple effect' as you mentioned. To be honest, it did bothered me a bit at the beggining but i got used to it. It's a common issue on a lot of phones and it shouldn't affect it's functionality unless you put too much pressure on it. Other than that i declare myself satisfied with the replacement.
[G2 General] iko84:
Has anybody problem with proximity sensor after changing the original display with cheap? I replaced mine with cheap.Everything is good except not working proximity.Knock on/off is working well but auto brightness dosent work at all. If anybody had that issues to let me know what tha solution is.
[G2 General] Lpedraja2002:
It's weird man, the phone was new, I got it on December just a few months after it launched. But the Claro variant even though it had the D-801 stickers, apparently uses a D-803 motherboard. And the firmware is a modified version of the Canadian roms as well. I found this the hard way by flashing the d801 with KDR tool and hard bricking my phone where I had to short the capacitors so I could get it to be recognized on my pc. There's a thread dedicated to the Canadian Roms and the Claro Roms and that's where I learnt it from. But thankfully my phone was restored, flashed with Lineage and the time I spent playing with it all was good so it would be a good backup phone to have in case my Moto Maxx ever dies but so far this has been the most durable phone I've ever had. I'm happy that after 2 years it hasn't given me any screen troubles.
[G2 General] Tuxacc:
The internal parts and chaisis from D800 are compatible with D801/D803, from what i recall (somebody correct me if im wrong), but that doesn't explain the fact that your network carrier or distributor chose to mix parts from different variants. Who knows what odd agreement had Claro in the past with the phone manufacturer. Anyway, its good that you had the inspiration to take a peak at the phone internals and figured out a way to make it functional again! :D OFFTOPIC: Currently on Mokee 7.1.2 and runs like butter. Can't ask for more from a device that's been launched almost 4 years ago!

There is a way and it's really simple, but in order to do that you will need to disassemble your phone. Watch this tutorial on youtube. Additionally, check if the connectors on the mainboard and display are properly seated.

[G2 General] easyguy:
Very informative thread.

Please include the links to the product that you purchased.

I'm debating now, with a few horror stories in here if I actually want a replacement or just get a new phone...:D
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Glad we can help.

All you need is a good source!

Funny thing is, with the G2 there's no "need" for a new phone yet unless you have the itch to try something new lol.

Trust me the new S6 Edge looks like It'll have my name on it in the future.

As for me, found an eBay seller I actually trust and took the plunge.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/301470180151?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

and picked up this stand alone frame assembly

http://www.ebay.com/itm/371126862059?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Will confirm later this week once they arrive (fingers crossed)
[G2 General] somberi:
The LCD screen replacement with frame arrived as expected. Fixed it now. I do not see a difference to the stock one i had.

The delivery was spot on via DHL, just 3 days from Hong Kong to UK and the packaging was top notch. I'm really impressed.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Awesome!

This has me excited to get my screen.

Only if possible can you please complete the poll above if you haven't already?

Thank you for your reply!

We love happy endings with these replacement screens
[G2 General] kopter36:
I order this one just now. --> http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Display...878?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20f4e14e86

The seller claim LCD panel is OEM but other part arent such as the digitizer. It comes with LG logo too. Will see how it perform when it arrived. :)
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Looking forward to it!

Please post pics if you can

Just when I began to get concerned, my ebay seller sent me this email tonight....

Now I'm even more eager to see how this turns out.

Will recommend him once I can verify OEM screen quality & performance meet the advertised standards.

Hopefully it won't be a battery hog either..:)

Hi, I am looking to buy lcd + front frame for my cracked G2 D802 . Can anybody recommend seller ? I found on franch ebay this item (http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Lcd-Pre-Mont...e-Pour-LG-Optimus-G2-D802-Neuf-/221729539100?) ...seller claims that it is original LG lcd, and acording to markings on that picture it is original but i sent him a message and never got a replay
[G2 General] tiguy99:
I haven't heard about the French source yet.

Can anyone confirm?

Take a look on page 2 and 3 for testimonies and links!

We've got some good results thus far from etradesupply these eBay sellers listed.

I'm happy my eBay seller refused a bad batch of screens in order to ship

a better product!

Will install it next week and confirm if his product is good

so you all will have another good source for these screens
[G2 General] kopter36:
That is great! Im actually looking forward to order from etradesupply.com too but somehow I had to save all down to the penny so I looked for another option.

I will take some picture once it arrived and post my testimonial here. Btw your seller is very honest too. If I were him i will never pull back the whole batch and replace it altogether unless the whole batch is defected. Lol. :p

I've never heard about French seller too before. You might ask him again to see if he reply. And dont forget to review other customer feedback too.
[G2 General] jal3223:
How much did that cost you?
[G2 General] diamond12:
Mine, one year ago, was $153.

i dropped my lg and broke the screen but my insurance fixed it for £25 and used the original lcd but from another unit I had taken pics from different angles before as I heard of replacement screens not being as good but when comparing they look the same just like the original
[G2 General] tbob18:
Both of my replacement screens looked like OEM to me, both had excellent color balance and viewing angles. (although over saturated like the original)

Has anyone had their glass not start to separate from the frame after replacing their screen, or after owning the phone for more than a year? My two G2's both had this issue, as well as the replacement screen assemblies.. Now my replacement screen has a portion that doesn't respond, and my second replacement screen just goes crazy tapping everything.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
have you seen this one?

UK Amazon Source
[G2 General] hwsv07:
LG G2 F320S is the korean variant - with removable battery. My touchscreen is not working on some parts of the screen.

I heard it is better to replace the entire LCD + Touch Digitizer, instead of just the Touch Digitizer due to complications in the installation method.

Does anyone have experience with replacing this part? Are there any online videos on how to remove/install the assembly? I only saw videos for the D802 (non-removable battery variant) and Im not sure if the steps are exactly the same.

There are many different prices for this product online (Ali, amazon, ebay), and I dunno which one is reliable.

Thanks.
