Hello, there.
Unfortunately, I've dropped my mi mix 3 and I was looking to a new screen.
Looking around I've found many offers with a wide range of prices.
The question is that the Mi Mix 3 feature a Samsung Amoled 6.39 inch but it is impossible to find, everywhere I'm finding an LCD replacement. Can someone help me out?
Plus, I was a bit worried about the screen replacement procedure but then I saw this video which takes a totally different approach and made the whole thing much easier...

Still, I can't find the Amoled version anywhere but only the LCD version...
Cheers

Goodluck https://www.witrigs.com/oem-screen-replacement-with-frame-for-xiaomi-mi-mix-3-black
Hi, i searched on aliexpress, there are lots of options but it is $100+, so in my case I ordered 6.39 lcd display, and it looks better than other analogs, costs 45 usd but it has a special plastic spacer under the display, so it sticks up a bit more, looks fine... On aliexpressI think itis 3 options lcd, led and amoled... No clue what is the one in middle. I bought mine from chila lcd seller
Upd: I think 100+ is for original there, not 'oem', but not sure
I try to order one (100+$) but the quality was awefull. some part of the screen was unreponsive.
I bought one from second hand market. Under warranty and never opened for -300$
I had the same problem, dropped my phone and screen replaced with original. Contact with this adress maybe you can order original one. Genpa is authorized service in Türkiye for Xiaomi.

I bought the witrigs one. It certainly seems genuine to me. I'm happy.
I had a honor 8 before, I'd say I bought 6-8 screens for it and never found a good one

Where do you find LCD? I can't even Find it. (I hate amoled with their burn in issues. I love lcd)
Any existing Mix 3 users that had to replace the screen in the past?
Which one did you buy and that you are satisfied with it?
Honestly I don't know which one to look at (primarily I am looking on ebay). There are some that the title say it's amoled, but I am not sure.
Any advice?
I bought the original amoled screen in aliexpress for 80€.
Happy with it!

Hi All,
apologies if i have posted this in the wrong section, if so, please move.
I have been searching without any success of finding a Samsung S3 CLONE that would use a LCD Screen the Original Samsung S3 would recognise. I have not found images in the internals of these clones aswell
I wonder if anyone here or outside this forum has been successfull in finding a Clone S3 that uses the same LCD configuration compatible with the real S3.
I have seen many replacement LCD screens which claim to be compatible but are not AMOLED or have the exact resolution as the S3, so are these "replacement" screen LCDs really used in the Clone.
any one here able to shed some light on this possibility? :fingers-crossed:
Impossible as they are different technology
LCD and AMOLED
Even through you found right size,, right connected LCD screen and attached it into S3, still won't work due to driver problem or something like that

as for drivers, im sure people in this forum can mod something to make it work?

Serious?
Those clones, just another model of phone which "accidentally" has very same outer appears as Galaxy S III, doesn't mean they are compatible.

no way, don't even think about trying it
yes you can
I've installed three different types, all low resolution and one was two small you would see a small black strip at the top because lcd was two short. But they all worked , if you own a repair shop I think its important to figure out who's making these lcd because when a new model comes out and the assembly is 250$ and Samsung designed the s4 to break at the lcd not the glass , so lots of ppl need lcd. So the price states high for a wile , meanwhile the iphone screens break at the glass so there's millions of good lcds floating around the price drops fast , the iphone 5s is already down to 80$ from its original 250 just two months ago . So the iphone parts drop in price fast but for galaxy parts we need to find who makes these clone lcds so our galaxy customers have a alternative repair option under 300$
We do the 5s for 150$ , the part is 80$
The s4 part is 209 so we have to charge 269 installed.
Insurance deductible is 150....

replacement LCD for CLONE samsung GT-i9060?
Hi Folks,
My S3's display stopped working after in contact with water. So I had gone for the display replacement.
I have asked the service center guy to install the Original Samsung display. He has installed a display and said its Original.
Could not find any flaw in the clarity and touch response, they are as good as original. But I noticed the display size is bit smaller than the stock S3 display (it was a bit less than the 4.8 inches).
And if you noticed the display while it is ON, we could see a small black border line on the four sides of the screen. That black border line is a bit thicker in this new display which makes the display a few pixels smaller than the stock. I tested the phone hardware info through two apps and the displayed results said that the Screen Density is 320 dpi. (S3 has 306 ppi, not sure if ppi and dpi are same)
I am so much confused whether this new one is original Samsung display or a replica. Is there any way to find the manufacturer of the display through an app?. My phone is rooted and running CM11 M12 ROM.
Please help me in finding the display genuineness.
Looks like a chinese replica €65 aprox. Authentic goes around €120
ETradeSupply sells both kinds of screens and puts “OEM” in the name of the better ones while the knock-offs are a bit cheaper and say something like “replacement”. The “OEM” cost me $142 and is just as tough as the original; a $115 knock-off I had bought at eBay didn't survive a knee-high fall.

Not that I know of. Most likely they sell directly to Samsung, and the screen I got is slightly uneven in brightness (only visible with a fully black screen), so it may be a rejected part.
For those of you who've replaced your screens either DIY or via LG warranty replacement...please post how your screen quality and viewing angles compare to the original LCD.
I'll start...
1. On my Current G2, I had a perfect screen. Perfect viewing angles and excellent image quality with no defects
2. Ebay Replacement screen #1 had dead pixels and Mira lines.
3. Ebay replacement screen # 2 had horrible color. Almost black and white
4. Amazon replacement screen has great color & image quality but lesser degree of viewing angles.
It's hard to explain but easy to compare to other G2s and phones when you compare side by side.
After all these screen swaps in the last couple months I've decided to keep this screen and use the phone as is.
How does your replacement screen compare to the original one?
I got LG performed a "total refurbished" when I dropped and shattered my screen.
It came back and looked like new, no difference to the original.
After a shattered screen i got it replaced.two months waoting time.now have jdi panel but brightness is very low and have lots of screen bleed around the edges.the repairman did not do a good job but the panel itself is of lower quality.color and contrast ok but luminosity is about 70%of the original...not happy but no money for yet another panel...
Conclusion:dont drop the phone...
After having touch screen issues on my phone (no-touch zone, ghost touches), I bought a replacement screen for my D800 off eBay.
Got it replaced and so far, the quality (colours, brightness, touch accuracy) is very good. I'd say the screen is slightly more yellow than my original screen but it's by no means an issue.
The screen I got for my "new" Z3, is full of problems. It has press marks(areas on the screen which appear brighter/whiter) and the screen "flickers" on high brightness. My friend can't see it well, but I can very clearly see the screen going bright->dark->bright->dark slightly and very quickly.
Dropped mine and got it replaced at a cheap place in Bangkok.
Colours are the same, viewing angles are not as good, but
those doesn't matter to me.
Been 2 months dropped phone again, screen shattert again...
Biggest supprise: Touch is still working perfectly! Seems like the cheap replacement screen doesn't have the NoGap technology like the original ones haha. Seems like win win to me!

Thanks for the responses guys and sorry to hear about your screens.
Made a new poll. Please participate.
I'm trying to make a case that there are different versions of LCD panels made by different manufacturers.
They don't advertise which is which but we're starting to notice now that we're having out screens replaced.
I replaced my LG D800 screen with one from Amazon and the colors are slightly darker but other than that no big deal. I didn't do a good job with the replacement so there is definite light bleed on the edges and after four months of using it im getting ghost touches if I press on the lower portion of the screen. Don't think it's quite worth the $80 replacement to try again and get it right, just something I'll deal with until a new phone comes out and I can get it replaced all together.
Similar experience to laboratik except the repair was done at LG so the workmanship is good. But it is jdi panel and darker than the original.
Thank you guys for the responses. This thread should be helpful to others in our same situation.
The sad fact is that the market is flooded with aftermarket screens made by who knows.
Just compared my screen with the S6 Edge and have to say I'm very impressed with the image and color on this replacement screen however that's where the buck stops.
The reduced viewing angles are tolerable at best. I'd hate to remove this replacement screen send it back all over again...roll, dice pray I get a perfect match but unless I'm removing it from a G2 myself I'm starting to believe it's not likely it'll happen.
Check out this review on Amazon re: the screen I have.
This guy nails my current situation

I got a few of them from eBay, I can link you the buyer if you want, I've sold them and they are close to OEM, they only have one MAJOR flaw, they are thicker. While you'd think this wouldn't be an issue, they are thick enough to not be able to slip into most cases, so it's annoying.
http://www.ebay.com/usr/wholesaleblimited?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754
That's the ebay seller I use for replacement parts.
So far the screens have been OEM quality( G2, GPro, AHD) I've bought a few from there, and they all have great quality, except for the thickness, they all seem to be thicker, this is probably due to it not being real gorilla glass, and just a knock off lol.
it looks like my replacement screen for LG service center has slightly lower sunlight legibility than original,
I dont know which panel is this, but brightness is reduced

After removing the Amazon screen and reinstalling the original one, I notice the Amazon one has slightly higher ppi/contrast with a smoother looking picture....WTH
Now if I can have that with the original screen's viewing angles I'd be golden....
Oh well....time to pack it back and return it back...will report back shortly

Hye guys. Im sorry if im in the wrong thread. Right now im in need for lg g2 d802 lcd full assembly replacement but im in tight budget right now. I can afford max for 60 bucks. ( im still depressed about losing my job though lol ) I've found several replacement at ebay from China that is under my budget but im in doubt if it is quality enough to be acceptable to be use in this great phone? I've heard about "crazy touch" issue too so im afraid if im not lucky enough to get one of those. Anyone here have experienced with these full lcd assembly from ebay?

That one almost certainly looks like it will be a low quality replacement you will be unhappy with.
My personal opinion, if you want a full frame screen replacement....at least get one with the LG logo.
Saw one on ebay for 59.00 last night. The seller claimed to test them before they ship.

Hi there.
My cousin dropped his phone and completely shattered the front glass. Phone still worked fine though. Went shopping for a replacement LCD+Touch glass part and finally found a shop which charged him about 60 bucks (this included service).
The display is not terrible, but it's definitely a no-brand spare, it's darker, has a blue-ish tint to it and on top of that, it seems to run on a lower resolution. It works fine for looking at memes on social media and stuff, but text and icons look jagged. The system effectively believes it's running untouched at 1080x1920 (checked via "wm size"), but the display itself is pushing less pixels than that.
He can live with that, though, so here comes my question point for discussion: Is there any practical way to measure the actual, physical resolution of this display?
I just thought it would be nice for Android to render everything at this display's native resolution. Jagged edges wont be gone, but I'm pretty sure using appropiate graphics assets and proper density is better than whatever downscaling is happening here.
Regards.
Get a magnifying glass and count the number of physical pixels.
All jokes aside, if you're rooted you can first try figure out what panel you have with "dmesg | grep panel" in terminal.
Other than that you should go back to the store your cousin got the screen repaired and demand an explanation from them and a refund.
Attached is the output I get on my own Z2 which has a OEM display. I didn't need root for this hehe. Lets see what it looks like on his phone next time I meet with him.
I really think requesting a refund is out of the question, it's been a few weeks since the repair took place and service technicians are a PITA to deal with 'round here.
Anyhow, what I'm worried about the most is software updates on the repaired Z2. Chinese knock-off parts are known to stop working or straight out break when treated with non-factory default firmware. It's sitting on 5.1 as we speak.
Update: The replacement display works after an upgrade to M build .291, the phone is now rooted and equiped with TWRP. I'll try to run
Code:
wm size 540x960
and
Code:
wm density 240
on it and see what happens. It could very well be a half-resolution panel, or a FWVGA one, we'll see.
UPDATE #2: The display looks worse after the fact. There's no saving it haha.
you buy a stock dislay from Sony or others?
Are they jagged or actually interlacing? I got a replacement that looked jagged but then I noticed they were actually interlacing which kind of looks like every other pixel is tearing slightly.
That gave it a jagged look. So it may be the right resolution, but just a faulty LCD. I was sent a new screen on request (ebay).
Either way you should get a replacement.
i got some low res display cheap from china. it was horrific resolution.. device also crashed ala bluescreen-of-death, especially when plying blossom blast or watching fb video. i ordered a display from eu on ebay, and now i'm happy again. and so is the device.
Same here and how to make things better
Flash kcal flashable mod and then use these settings R=255
Green=250 blue=245
Saturation =65
Value=135
Contrast =135
Ok turns out he broke the display again. This second replacement actually looks great, there's little difference when compared side-by-side with my Z2. Good thing he's no longer doomed to a bad display haha.

Not sure how this is supposed to help with resolution. Perhaps it would help with the blue tint, but the stock white balance does this as well.

Glad to know that. Who is this "eu"? Europe? Lol I'm out of touch here. Glad to know you got a fine display.
I REALLY hope to never ever need to go through display replacement lottery.
Compared to other devices, this Xperia is not hard to repair, and there are cheap spare parts, and quality parts available from a number of EUropean sellers.
Anyway, it's Friday, good to see this forum again, it's really a nice place.
Oh yeah, my daughter after terrorizing me for years finally made me buy her an iPhone, well... I'm waiting for replacement display nr5 for this 5s in a year now. Lol.

Hello guys, I hope for you expert opinion here. Yesterday I picked up my beloved Note 4 Global version and saw lines all of the screen, and it flickers all the time. It is definitely a hardware issue because the lines can be seen on the boot and in the TWRP. Also if I apply a bit of pressure on the phone on different sides, sometimes you can see the lines changing, ones they diapered for 5 minutes completely. I have dropped it a day before, from my trousers pocket, but it was fine for a while after that...
I bought this phone from www.gearbest.com and I live in Germany. After reading all the reviews about the warranty procedure I decided that I don't want to send it back to gearbest, because in the best case scenario I will get the phone in half a year, in the worst I won't get it at all.
My question is, do you think the fault is in the motherboard or LCD screen itself? I could buy a new LCD for 25 euros and replace it myself.

from the teardown video, the screen removal is not that hard but not sure if you can get the screen for 25 euros tbh. Best of luck~

I know it's not hard, I've done it to other phones as well. The question is if it's the screen, or the motherboard.
Found a screen here, as far as I know, the 4X screen is compatible with Global version.

That is correct, I don't want to buy a new LCD to find out that some controller somewhere on the motherboard is dead.
Actually buying the phone was very easy. Having any kind of service is much harder. And you can't buy this phone in Germany. They don't sell them here.
