It sounds like they are sending you the parts for another phone.
You are right about being cautious with your wife's phone.
Can you call the shop you bought both of the screens from and verify the type of phone that they are sending the part for?
You may have 2 perfectly good screens for a Inc S.
OR, but highly uncommon that your video card has crashed in a way that it could be corrupting every screen that you throw at it.
I don't think there is any way that the screen can be damaged by the phone in a way that is causing BOTH screens to fail.
But just to be safe, I would wait for advice from someone with more experience on the matter..
That or see what the shop says.
When you heated up the unit could you have melted any solder connections around the components?
That should be lead free solder with a higher melting point than regular solder.
Good luck..
Thanks for your response and when I heated it up the logic board was already out of the phone so no heat was applied to it but I will call the shop I didn't think about it being and incredible s screen I wonder if that would make a difference although their website says the screen os for the s and 2 but again thinks for your response

Edit... I origianlly posted this in the general forum but was hoping to maybe get a little more input on this issue here.
So I installed a brand new LCD + Digitizer and it seemed to be working for the first few moments and then went back to doing its weird color changing.
Even with the new screen if I squeeze on the phone or apply a gentle twisting motion to the phone I can eventually get the color looking normal, but once the pressure is off the phone the color goes back to being a dark pink / redish color. Also I do notice a new symptom, the 4 touch buttons at the bottom of the screen do not light up with this new digitizer.
What are the chances that the new lcd is junk? Or could this be a more serious issue like the logic board being damaged? Are their any methods that I can take to ruling out the board? I payed 259$ for a brand new board 6 months ago and if its bad this POS is retiring its life!

My headphone jack on my blue S3 is defective. Every headset I try if I spin the plug it will cut out the right earphone. My white one is fine. Funny thing is tho I like the blue one better so it is a deal breaker for me and rogers is sending me a refurb.

What are you doing to your phone to cause these cracks? I've had mine since it launched on AT&T and I've noticed no defects. My original Galaxy S had some issues like the bottom buttons would blink and click when I wasn't touching them (returned for a new one and didn't have that problem).

Is yours cracked? Maybe people sometimes drop their phones or do something to them and don't want to admit it? I did a google search and it doesn't seem that wide spread.

Pics of your back case? Just curious what kind of cracks you have. Do you have a case on it? My case covers the back so I'm not sure how it would get any kind of cracks on it. I wouldn't really call a google search with a handful of results a known fact. I had the original Galaxy S - horrid GPS on that was a known fact. There were posts everywhere about how bad it was. I'm not seeing that kind of result with cracked screens or backs.
I've got the blue also and I'm not having any issues with these sort of cracks on the back cover. And I've removed and reinstalled the back probably 50 times in the month I've owned it (I switch back and forth between my HOX, GNex, and S3 constantly).

Hot
I have a white one. My phone gets hot doin simple task. My overheat app said its 104 degrees after about 30 min of playing a game. Not a game like NOVA but like angry birds. Is this normal?

The link has some pics as well as explanations.
Mine has very vivid cracks on the back case, What i do not understand is why pebble blue is having issues known to white only.
I have blue, and have some micro cracks around the flash, I'm assuming due to extended use and overheating. You have to want to see them though, pretty subtle.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
The cracks on the bezel are quite well known (except by Samsung who won't admit it!). White ones seem to be worse, but cases have been reported on the blue ones too...
My wife and I upgraded last week. Her SGS3 micro sd card reader was inoperable out of the box and we had to return for a new one. I had 4 cards in different sizes formatted to fat32 that worked in my SGS3 did not work in hers.
I figure Samsung is churning these units out at such a quick rate to meet the demand.
Thinking of fixing my evo but not sure how much it would cost. I've never looked at this stuff so idk what's needed. Any gurus that have repaired their evos many times wanna chime in? Cracked screen and it has some purple stuff almost all over the screen
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Looks pretty rough.
When the touchscreen goes out its the digitizer.
When purple stuff like that appears its the LCD screen.
If the LCD screen is shot 99% of the time the digitizer is shot too since it sits over the LCD screen.
What I would do is buy a complete LCD, digitizer, disassembly screwdriver kit off eBay or Amazon. They go for around 30 bucks.

Good luck and thanks for the new port.
Isn't there 2 different types of screen? Like the older Hw evos used a different screen
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I believe there is 3 manufacturers but 2 different kinds of ribbon connectors.
The last post of this thread has a good tip for determining which LCD you have without taking apart the phone.

So I dropped my phone and it cracked. The sprint repair center said they didn't have extra screens and I had to pay to get a replacment.
So I'm going to try and fix this myself. My question is, does anyone know if there is like 2 separate screens on the epic? I'm guessing something like the gorilla screen and then the actual inner screen? Because what cracked is only the outside and mostly by the capitive buttons. Could I order a replacement screen and just fix this my self? Would it be hard to do it?

May just be easier to replace the entire top sliding section, including screen.

The glass layer and the LCD is sealed together professionally by Samsung for better display effects, so you have to replace them together. I've done the change a year ago and it cost me ~$70. I'm in China though.

How much do you think that would cost? And can you show me where to find that because I'm searching on ebay and can't find just the top screen part.

I'm going to T-Mobile and probably getting a S4 so I'm not trying to pay that much for the Epic, it's going to be my game and music phone only.
I found this,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-Sprint-...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item43ae84d53f
not sure if that's what I need though. Never mind, that's just the screen I wouldn't be able to put that on my phone. So, where can I find the whole top sliding part?
If i were you, i would get a bricked or water damaged or broken USB port epic off ebay for like $20 (i got one with broken usb for $14) and just switch out the motherboards. That is the easiest method and cheapest

Ya I've seen a few epics that were up for sale for parts and repair. Ill probably do that because the crack gets worse everyday and it started going to the top. I was first planing on just putting black electric tape on the capitive lights (that's the worst part of the crack) and just putting a screen protector over it and use the nav bar so I won't need the buttons on the bottom lol.

During my daily walk last week, I was obviously sweating so badly that while talking it ended up getting sweat down thru the headphone jack. The bootanimation sounds, keypad tones for emergency dialer also. A faint purple tint can be seen while screen is in the "on" position but no graphics whatsoever. Is this the digitizer? If so, any other parts I should expect to go bad along with it? How complex is the swap out?
The moisture is just a theory based on the timing that the screen decided to stop working.
thanks in advance
It's not the digitizer buy I know what you mean, try pressing and sorta move the screen so it can come back, or replace the LCD, this phone is easy to take apart trust me

i have wiggled, pushed on, banged on, cursed at and anything else imaginable to attempt to get the screen back on. so this is a lcd issue and not digitizer? need to fix this device for the wife, so she will have something new to lose.

Just try all of the above on the wife. In the end it might work out better. Lol. Sorry. I've seen digitizers with LCD on eBay like $10 with free shipping. Honestly if you're replacing one you're right there on the other one.
