Easy to Repair the Cracked Samsung Galaxy S4 Screen Assembly

The process of repairing the broken Samsung Galaxy S4 screen assembly is similar to the process of disassembling the Galaxy S4, which is much easier than replacing the Galaxy S4 screen glass only. Since the Samsung Galaxy S4 have many different colors, you could change your Sapphire front glass into white or pink one to make it different.

    Please My Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 active has a cracked screen. I want to confirm if the S4 and S4 active use the same screen and sensor? Also do i have to change the sensor too while changing the screen? I will like to know the amount as well. Thanks

      Hello Oji, no, neither the screen nor the sensor is interchangeable. You don’t have to change the sensor if it still works fine. Hope it helps.

    I have a galaxy s4 from Verizon and the screen looks fine on the outside but it’s like the sensor on my touchscreen won’t work. It started on the very bottom and now it is slowly spreading up the screen. I’m trying to avoid doing a hard reset or getting a completely new phone. Will replacing the screen be the solution or is there anything else that I can try?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I337 from AT&T that received a cracked faceplate but the LCD had no cracks to it so everything was still working (touch screen, etc.) However a few months ago it received some water damage. After a while of drying out it had been working ok. Occasionally it had issues charging and periodical problems with the “home” button but that was it. I was about to replace the faceplate and charging port, when suddenly it went from working to now a black screen with little green dots pixilated on the rightside of the screen. It will not show signs of start up reboot or the home page apps. But yet I can hear my alert tones to text massages and emails. Could you tell me what has happened and if there’s anything that can be done or do I need to get a new LCD screen now as well*

    My s4′s screen is broken inside. I mean, it appears good on the outside, but turns out that something got broken on the inside which resulted to the total blackout of my device. When i try to switch it on, little light only appears, you know the stripe thingy when your phone screws up? Will it still be fixed?

    My S4 front glass or screen is cracked. I went to a repair store and they are asking me $160 to fix it. I think it’s bit less than what I saw online. I’m doubtful about $160 ones. How would I know that if the screen is original or fake ?

      Hi a f Houston, if your S4 still works, you only need to replace the front glass, but it’s extremely difficult if you’re not a professional.

    • BY alina

      Hi Janeth,
      If your S4 still works normally, you can only replace the front glass lens. You can find it at our website etradesupply.com by searching “Samsung Galaxy S4 glass lens”. But it’s very difficult to only replace the glass lens. Special tools and skills are required for replacement. Please do not hesitate to contact us at service@etradesupply.com if you need any further support.
