For guys who don't want to deal with removing screen and replacing with a new one, there is a complete assembly sold at below link. Downside is they only accept order of two

Screen has now been replaced, wasn't as bad as I was expecting, heating it up with a hair dryer really does help! I didn't remove anything from the rear of the phone other than the back cover (seven screws) to unplug the screen, now all working and looking like new again.

I replaced it succesfull. though its not an easy task,

When I compared the new screen with the original it seems the later is thicker and heavier, does anybody else noticed it?

Also I think the new screen have a bit less contrast, other than that colors are identical, mine also had the logo Samsung.

Hi, I saw that you were able to remove also the home button, I tried to disassemble my SGS following some videos on youtube, it was very easy, except for the home button.

In all the guides I've found you do not see how to disassemble the home button key, so I decided not to take the risk ...

On the Internet I found the replacement part, but I want to be sure it is replaceable by me... with just a screwdriver and nothing else :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
I didn't remove the home button. I don't know how to remove it but it shouldn't be too hard. Of course you've to remove screen before removing home button. It's pretty much impossible to remove screen without destroying it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] red.eye:
:)

so it is HARD to try to remove the home button... :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
Yes, if you just want to change the button.

Hello everybody.

I bought one of these

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120587286175

unfortunately this is only the screen...

You think I could fit it in a housing like this

globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-i9000-Housing-p/smsng6087190.htm

or is there nothing I can do with it?

(Sorry, links are not working for me yet.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
I think that you only need this http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-S-i9000-Lens-p/smsng6087170.htm I'm not 100% sure but I think you could glue your screen to that lens. That lens may come with adhesive already applied or not.

screen broken sgs

helloo all

i have replaced my broken sgs screen with new one got it from ebay

but after replacing it , now the BACK button doesnt light and its not working , i didnt hit the button while replacing the screen , so i think it has to work ,, is there any help guys ??? plzzz
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
I suppose it got some damage when you removed the screen. One solution is to remove screen, hopefully in one peace and then order new buttons from globaldirectparts.com. Then just replace damaged buttons with new ones and put screen back in.

i cant find any screen for less than 70gbp on ebay... any good seller? did the prices go up?

i have seen on ebay a seller who sells just the glass, with nothing on... how hard would be to split the digitizer and screen up from the glass?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bigthugs0:
its the hard that u cant split it since its hard glued to the screen , i dont think u will get luck to split it, i tried to do that , but its even hard to split them wihtout breaking the glass and maybe leave some peices
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lqbweb:
doesnt matter if i break the glass since its already broken... so you say its very very difficult even if i break the glass into pieces without care?

Another question, are the sensor of the buttons sticked also on the glass?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
Sensors are glued to the glass pretty good. That is the reason why many have destroyed their sensors. Screen has to be removed extra carefully around the buttons.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lqbweb:
ok, i see... so it really worth to buy the full front piece for 50-60gbp, is it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
Yes. It's a small price to pay comparing to a repair shop.

anyone tried heating it up with a hair dryer prior to removal? usualy this softens up glue..

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] krueger80:
My Galaxy S screen cracked after falling from 3 feet high directly on bottom right corner. It seemed intact just after, but 1 hour after 5 huge cracks spread to the top of the screen. Since I had a protective film on my screen, I can still use the phone with no problem without cutting off my fingers.

However I ordered a new screen and I just received it. I still hesitate to change it right now since everything still works and I don't want to break something.

I have 2 questions to answer before i'll replace it:

About the glue, nobody seems to agree. In fact, I'd like to put the same as the original since I think they probably choose the best solution... right? I don't believe double sided tape will be good enough... Does somebody know the type of glue originally used by Samsung?

My other question is about button censers... Do I need to add new glue before fixing the new screen in place?

And third bonus question: Do you think I should change my screen although it's just for the apparence?

Thanks to everyone who cooperate on this forum and especially to pekkala89.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
Answer for 1. question: Don't use double-sided tape. I can speak by experience =). I don't know which glue Samsung used but when I replaced my own screen, I used Plastic Padding Repair Extreme glue. It's soft and grips to glass well. When new screen is installed, some weight has to be applied on top of the screen before glue is dry. When the glue is drying it retracts a little bit and does not grip the glass if there's a gap. Afterwards you can notice this fault by pressing some corner and hearing a sound like something is ripping. Notice that the screen is lower than the chrome bezel around it. So the weight has to be the size of the screen so it presses it lower than the level of bezel.

Answer for 2. question: I placed little bit of glue around the sensors. Not much because if there's too much and you press new screen on, the excess glue can spread on top of the sensors. Be extra hyper careful when you remove original screen around the sensors. I've read many people damaging their sensors for not being too careful.

Answer for Bonus: I think you should replace the screen. I don't know but when the screen damages more it could short-circuit something and at the same time destroying your phone further.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] spikeeee:
Hi guys,

Attempted to Change the screen, which is one of the worst screens that I have ever had to change! However I have damaged the Flexi that connects the lower keypad PCB to the Upper main PCB assy. It has written on it:

GT-i9000_FPCB_REV0.8

G SI 1029

It has Touch written on the end that connects to the Lower PCB and Board where it connects to the upper PCB.

It runs under the battery compartment between that and the LCD.

It is part of this spare:

http://www.itstek.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-lcd-touch-screen-lens-complete-front.html

You can see the lower part of it connecting into the keyboard PCB and the top part waiting to be connected.

Does anyone know where I can locate one? I cannot find anything on the web. The details that are written on it (see above) do not return anything in Google.

I'm worried as I was repairing this for a friend and don't really want to fork out for a new phone for her!

Thanks

Spike

Hi

Yes thanks :) I ordered through them, they force you to buy two and force you to pay £22 for shipping! Nearly $50 for a flex cable!

A supplier in the UK came back just after I placed the order and so I emailed to cancel from Global parts... they have refused even though the part has not been sent yet and it has been placed two days ago.

I would be very very wary from buying from Global Parts

However if you are in the UK, http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/ sorted me out the part. It was not listed on their site but they had some around in their workshop. Really nice and helpful peeps, will be buying spares from them from now on :)

oh and If anyone needs one of these Flex's it looks like I will be having two spare now. lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] alex.bacer:
this is what I call bad luck !
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MAKFOTO:
I wouldn't take the risk on changing the screen myself but would think about FoneFunShop. The difference between the screen and screen and fitting isn't bad at all.

Enjoy your SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
That is a nice service but it is only available for a specific area.

[Shift General] Kongen Andreas:
Hi, i have a HTC Shift x9500 with a liberated snapvue (original danish ROM)

I was wondering if there is a way to install and run a single game in full-screen? (like Palm-heroes or Age of Empires)

I know they need to start in portrait mode, and i have tried to set the display in portrait mode with "kaisoft screen rotator", but when i start a game, its just white screen..

Is there any way, to make it work - the best would be if i DONT need to flash a new ROM (because some bad experiences:))

//Andreas

Phones completely rooted, trying to flash one of the official HTC updates to my phone, but it keeps coming up with: [140] Bootloader Error which I can only assume means its not compatible with version 0.80... but I can't find any 0.80 RUU's!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baileyjacks:
Please please help

I have read lots of threads and have downloaded the radio i need (2.07.50.27) to run the rom i need (sense 2.5 cookie). It says to Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" (already is named that when extracted) and flash with the CustomRUU.

When I try to run CustomRUU through the handset it says it is not a pocketPC application. When I try to run it through the computer, nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in hoping
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digao100nocao:
Hello mate!

First of all: You have HSPL instaled on your device?? If the answer is YES, you could continue.

The CustomRUU.exe is a app for PC, so you need to run it on a PC not on your HD2, OK?!

So, to it work the way it is designed to work, you need to run it as admin (right click on the CustomRUU.exe and select RUN AS ADMIN...).

In case it does not work, you could flash the radio via SDcard (rename the NBH file to LEOIMG.nbh and put it on your SDcard. Enter in the bootloader and it will tell you what to do.)

Read here for more usefull info about flashing your LEO: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609477

Keep reading dude!

Hope it helps!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
if customruu does absolutely nothing when you try to run it, chances are your anti virus program has disabled it. You need to turn off your av, and then download it again. (just turning off av is not enough, because it has already disabled customruu as soon as you downloaded it.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viktorca:
I have the same issue.

HSPL is installed on the phone,

active sync is on,

and I have renamed the radio file and put it in same folder as the customruu.exe

I am running it as the administrator (no antivirus on the computer)

Nothing happens when I double click.

I have tried changing radio files, but still no luck.

I have downloaded customruu from 2 different sources to make sure its not corrupt.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
firstly, no need to rename the nbh file.

second, was there av running when you downloaded it? some av programs disable it as it arrives.

thirdly, you are right clicking and choosing run as administrator? cos just being logged on as administratior isn't the same. (though its less important for customruu than for hspl)

what operating system?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viktorca:
Hi samsamuel,

Thanks for the help.

I dont have a virus scan at all.

Laptop is running windows xp, there is only one account and it has administrator rights.

I have right clicked > Run As > Following User - there are 2 options, administrator or vik.

Admin account has not been set up, but I had a go at selecting it anyway (no luck),

also no luck with my main account "vik"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
in that case only. suggestion i have is use sd card to flash, or try a different comp. sorry.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viktorca:
thanks mate, I have tried it on another computer and it has worked fine.

Updated the radio and now using andriod. cheers for the help

Quick one:

I've got the WWE HD2, sending it to HTC repair tomorrow so I need to flash it back to all stock firmware. What exactly do I need to do ? I'm asking cause I've heard of some bricked devices cause by restoring to stock the wrong way and wanted to be sure.

Do I need to flash back first the SPL from HSPL or the ROM to 1.66 I've had ?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
flash 1.66 rom, then run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000.
[HD2 General] moav:
Where can I find one to download ? the ROM that is
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
leo official roms thread in rom development section (it will be on page 1,2 or 3, or use the stickies sticky at the top of the list), first post, first link, 1,66 folder.
[HD2 General] moav:
Ok cool, but which one should I get ? what are the differences ?
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
just pick a stock rom that has been released in your region. Take the .nbh, rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and drop it on the root of your storage card.

Put the phone into bootloader, and it will flash the stock ROM and relock the phone, all in one step.
[HD2 General] moav:
I've downloaded the most popular ROM there and executed it, I didn't move any files to my SD. So now I've got the stock ROM loading but the it's not with the original SPL yet right ? I need to flash that back too ?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
thats what the red bit is for :)
[HD2 General] moav:
Sorry I'm such a noob but the disclaimer says :

5) Uninstallation

Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.

- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.

- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"

- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.

So I need to put this file on my device first and then use the HSPL2 utility ?
[HD2 General] DN41:
no..thats only for HSPL.

hspl2 can install SPL's as well.

so, you've got your stock rom and only need your stock spl...

do, what samsamuel says!

Been here on the XDA a while but bought a Vibrant to check it out. I currently have an HD2 and am very familiar with Winmo but not android.

I have a few questions that I need seasoned android users to help me with. Now...before I get a beating, I have searched the XDA, google, android forums for about 2 days now and while I do have a lot of clarification on many of my questions. There are a few which are still unclear.

I for one do not like any of my information in "cloud" computing. So no contacts, calanders, tasks, etc. I feel that is is nobodys business what I do whether right or wrong and I have read a million posts on how safe or good google is but I really don't care.

Now, while I like winmo, yep it is dated, don't know how win 7 will be so I am experimenting with android. My questions are as follows:

Does cyanogen remove all google specific apps and association with google. Yes, I can use the phone without loging into google. I know I can manually install aps via rooting, SDK and .apk files which is all good so I can circumvent the system. I do use google maps quite a bit so I want that funtionality. I also have yahoo mail accounts for all my emails so I dont need any more. I also have a google account for check out but the phone asks for a gmail account which I will not open up!

So If anyone can help me whith this answer, please let me know so I can keep the phone, If not then its going back although I really really like it.

Thanks
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
cyanogen removes google apps *you have to flash them seperately from the rom if you want them*.... but I'll be honest, I can't imagine using android if you are going to cripple it like that....
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Cyanogen doesn't include Google Apps within his ROM because Google sent a C&D about it not because he wants to not include them. The Google applications is packaged in a seperate package. Yes its optional but those applications are what makes Android what it is. It is a HUGE component of the OS.

Google doesn't go around sniffing on people's data either, check out the privacy policy for the whole deal.
[Vibrant General] Raychem:
I would love to believe you but I am "cynical" in a way that I dont believe and questions many of the things they are doing. I don't like facebook or myspace and twitter is only to follow the folks on XDA! This is good and bad but it is who I am. Also, Google just got in bed with the CIA and NSA so while this is not new...it is the future(there new project is called "recorded future). I wonder why the FTC has not gone after google as it did Microsft for locking people into Internet Explorer years ago?

Hi I just recently bought an HTC HD2 and I got it used. I checked out the phone pretty well and it worked fine when I purchased it. I got home and the battery was dying and eventually died before I got a chance to charge it. So I left it on the charger, the LED light came on and was flashing as if it was charging so I went out for a bit. Once I came back I noticed the LED wasn't on anymore so I tried to start up the phone and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took out the battery and put it back in still nothing. I've even tried using a different battery and still have the same results. I talked to T-mobile and they said to try going into boot mode by powering up holding both volume keys and the power button and I cant get it to start up at all. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuwait:
When battery is charging the LED does not flash. Normally it just lights in orange. Are you sure that the second battery you used was well charged? Take a tester and measure the voltage on the battery pads - it must show some 3.8 volts. You may check also if your battery is charging on some other phone to confirm that it is healthy before to decide that phone is dead.
