Loved it Hugh, good to see more android restorations, maybe some iPad/Android Tablet restorations in the future would be cool, keep up the good work :)
To be honest the galaxy S4 is probably one of the best galaxy phones to root/ Plus you can also use it as a remote or control other electronics because of the IR blaster!
Samsung has different phone models that vary from region to region, also the lcd module that you used is for the I9505 (as seen in the video at 3:15 ) not the I9500 or the I9507 and that could be why you had issues with it. But nice restoration nonetheless !
I want to say thank you, Hugh. Because of you I got into smartphone repairs and I successfully replaced the screen of the iPhone 7 Plus and a Samsung J5 2016. Next thing I will try, is to replace the dock connector of the iPhone 7 Plus. Wish me luck :D
You should try repairing an LG G Flex 2. It's a curve phone! Would be interesting to see it from the inside. They also had the infamous SD810, which overheated and actually caused mine to die.
This is still my all time favorite smartphone. Perfect size, super light weight, removable battery, great camera for its time, great screen for its time,and no ugly notch or punch hole in the screen.
Nice video mate! My friend gave me his iPhone 5s for *FREE* which is completely *destroyed!* Gonna do a high-quality video on that! 🎇Keep up the great work Hugh! 🎇 Really support what your doing and I'm further embracing that ;D Good luck on future videos :)
Wow hats off on the repair, also great tip about finding out that there are different dock connectors for different S4's, that will definitely be a useful point if I repair a phone in the future, I used an S4 for a year until it finally broke and i threw it away, wish I had seen this video earlier.
Still have an s4 with straight talk and an extended 8190mAh battery. On the original screen and a new sub frame, looks brand new except for the screen bezel.
most of them probably from ebay because as an example teh s4 with a broken screen doesn worth much because of how expensive the screen still is . if you wanna do repair phones look for phone like iphone (iphone 6s or higher ) with a broken screen or old battarie because you can get good iphone screen for 30 to 40 € or $ bacause the screnns are LCD displays not like teh samsung lineup what does use OLED and those panels are pretty expansive so much that it doesn realy worth to repair as an example a samsung galaxy s5 because you can get this phone for the same price used . i by myself do repair phone did just repair iphones just because it isnt realy expensive tp get a broken iphone to a mind condition . here the list of iphones i did repair / changesd something : 2 iphone 6 screen swap plus batterie , 1 iphone 6s screen plus batterie , hausing swap on my iphone 6s plus , got a water damaged iphone 6 to be alive again ( but does have icloud lock but i am in contact with the owner )
Thanks for making this video. A few days ago my old S4 mini stopped working and I concluded that it was the display. This video will help me out a lot when repairing it.
I believe that with the 2 S4s that you have, the one running Android 5.0 and has the 4G symbol on the back (GT-I9500) is an unlocked model, while the other one (GT-I9507) is an Optus model that probably never got updated.
I have to tell you that the S3 is the smartphone that revolutionised the smartphone industry. It had so many features that other phone companies could only dream of at the time.
Hi Hugh, I also own a Galaxy S4 that was my daily a few years ago. However, its screen went bust. I have a new front display support/motherboard mount and new front glass for a glass-only repair. Are you looking to get rid of the old AMOLED panel itself?
The display connector has always been an issue even if it's the correct part, the cable is sometimes off a bit and doesn't line up with the connector. I've ran into this issue may times in my line of work, it just takes a bit of patience and it'll line up. Still a bother though!
When you charge an android phone (mostly old ones) while it's off, sometimes you can't turn it on. You have to disconnect it, turn it on, then plug it in again.
Hugh the S4 is one of my all time faves!!! I mean it has the IR Blaster to change TV channels and more features than the current iPhone XS other than wireless charging!
I live in the United States, I'm not sure if theres Target stores in AU. Anyways, Target has these e-waste recycling bins in every store that people dump their old iPhones, iPods, tablets, MP3 players, batteries etc. I always like to go in there and look and take anything good I find because its legal. I usually find iPhone 4's - 7's. I've only found 2 iPhone 7's and they've both been locked sadly. I do find tons of phones like this Galaxy S4, I have a couple myself from Target. I have about 22 iPhones and too many Android phones to keep track of. Some of my best finds are: 2 Galaxy S5, 2 Galaxy S6, 1 Galaxy S6 Edge, 1 Galaxy J7, (?) iPhone 4-4s, about 5 iPhone 5, 1 iPhone 5s, 3 iPhone 5c, 1 iPhone 7 Rose Gold, 1 iPhone 7+ Matte black, and tons of others.
The housing is slightly different between the models, I think the newer model was the LTE version iirc. If you compare them you'll see that the moulding are slightly different on the new chassis so when you placed the board in the new housing, it basically shorted the board. Always buy parts that match your model number, don't ask me how I know haha
Oh this is beatiful! Im glad that my S4 is working as it should, but i do have some spare parts if it were to broke. I still use my S4 as a side phone with android 11 on it, so i love to see this.
Nah most of us realize that Androids are actually quite good, but most of us are stuck in the ecosystem or just prefer iOS. It's only the dumb airheads that are trying to flex that think this.
Can't wait for that G6 repair you already know who I am from Twitter all I can say is watch out for some assemblies as they don't include a heatpipe but Im not sure how easy that is to transfer over
I love the restorations on the Samsung's and just all the videos in general. My personal favorite was the video where you restored the bent galaxy s8. Where do you get these phones
@@reaze5535 it depends. most of the time they are less potent but in some """old models""" they have a muuuuch better battery consumption and there's less roms on exynos phones if u care bout that
A heads up for Hugh - there are 3 different frames for european models - i9500 (Exynos), 9505 (the standard 1.9GHz Snapdragon) and the 9506 (which is the 2.3GHz "LTE" (?) Snapdragon model)
7:20 If the device has a charger plugged in, it takes you to the charging screen if you power it on. Disconnect the power and it will boot normally. No dock issue there.
A little note for any possible future Samsung phone rebuilds. Pretty much every samsung phone has 2 models with different CPUs. In the US, its Snapdragon CPUs and in the rest of the world it's their in house Exynos CPUs
Apple was forward thinking to have a sealed in battery which was an testimony to the quality and confidence they had in their battery design - just remember that the Samsung S-model were flagship device that were still plastic construction right up to the intro of the S6 which basically followed Apple’s recipe. So in hindsight I think the credit goes out to Apple for having the foresight and guts to take that design direction.
I have an S4 and when I replaced the battery I felt proud, I'm not so impressed with myself anymore...

To be honest the galaxy S4 is probably one of the best galaxy phones to root/ Plus you can also use it as a remote or control other electronics because of the IR blaster!
Hehe, I used to turn on/off my friends' TVs with that.

Xiaomi devices still has the IR blaster feature and mine has too

Something about restoring a old phone is so satisfying.
Where did you get the display? I got scammed once and got an LCD instead of an AMOLED.
Just go on AliExpress. If you don't get what is listed, they will refund your money
