Guest nig3d Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hi, the digitizer on ebay looks all the same, how can you understand the quality of each one? How can I be sure to buy the definitive one? Thanks for suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N_M_S Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Hi, the digitizer on ebay looks all the same, how can you understand the quality of each one? How can I be sure to buy the definitive one? Thanks for suggestions No one is sure yet; but most eBay digitizers are chinese made (and usually shipped from China or Hong Kong), these I'm sure are not good quality. Some digitizers are shipped from US or Europe and usually more expensive; I'm not sure about thse and we are waiting feedbacks from those who bought them. Someone suggested that if the digitizer holds a brand name (t-mobile) for example, could be a high quality made. you can try one of these and give us your feedback http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-i900-om...reen-p18471.htm (has a one-year customer satisfaction warranty) http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-Touch-Screen-Digit...=item3a52c0767e (Cheap and shipped from Hong Kong but has the VodaFone logo) http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Omnia-i910-lcd...=item27abf6ccdd (Shipped from USA and the buyer stated clearly not chinese made) Edited November 16, 2009 by N_M_S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SsBloodY Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Well I've Thank you for the advise. I responded to you also in the Omnia forum. But I will write also here if someone else can help me. Have you seen white housing with digitizer NON CHINESE and not mre than 40$ maybe 50$. If there isn't such a thing I will buy this one which looks good http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-SAMSUNG-i900-...=item518c375469 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dede99 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I got mine from Hong Kong and my Omnia feels like new even better as new. So now I don't now if I'm going to buy another phone since Omnia is doing good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be the summery of this whole topic. :) where do you think almost every tech gadget we have its made these days? no trouble buying from your suggested places but they are buying it from china/korea/twain/etc also so you are just paying a little more because there is someone else in the middle. I just order mine from andywholesale lets see what I get !!! slds, Edited November 20, 2009 by corpisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just order mine from andywholesale lets see what I get !!! slds, You are totally true; what I meant here is all sellers on eBay located in China or Hong Kong usually sells the lowest quality items (at least when it comes to Omnia digitizers). By the way I also tried WholeSaleAndy and the digitizer didn't last more than a month before it lost its sensitivity again. now it's useless.

Guest doi620 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Cheap + Chinese = NO. I'd say: cheap + Chinese = worth trying ;-) After one month my screen is still working very well. Because of all the posts I sometimes think the touch response is getting less, but then it's hardly noticeable and maybe even my imagination :) . AND it may also be the software sometimes running (slow) on your Omnia. So far I'm still very satisfied about this new screen. I'll report back in a few weeks.

I took my omnia to get the screen replaced, they said it would take 3 working days to "check out what's wrong" (wtf? i know what the problem is!) and then they'd have to confirm to me what's wrong and if i want to change whatever is wrong, so thats another 1-2 working days. Once confirmed, it takes 5 working days for them to order the part and receive it. After that, it takes 3-4 working days to install the part. That's not all, theres a $48 inspection fee that must be paid before they will even look at the device, and after that, its $150 to change the part. holy crap. so far it's been 2 weeks, and still nothing... it better be the best damn digitizer ever! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the service centre said they had to order the part from sydney, so I believe if you're in sydney, the time it takes would get cut down about 5 working days :D They gave me a call today to let me know the phone is ready to be picked up :( i'll be picking it up in a couple of hours, hope its good! The service centre said that the touch panel was the cause of the touch screen not being very responsive, so they're replacing it. Hopefully it'll be good, and wont lose sensitivity after a few months, like certain ebay screens people have experienced here. I'll keep you posted =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Natsirt Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Okay, just got my omnia bacck from the service centre. They put in a new screen with the "8GB" in the corner. Its much more sensitive now =) much much more, hopefully it stays this way. I think they may have replaced the LCD too, unless you're meant to.. Because my old screen protector is on the old digitizer piece, and it looks about 2mm thick. When i got my phone back, it had the piece of plastic over the screen like new phones have.

LCD much more expensive than the digitizer, i assume? u went to the official samsung service centre, didnt u? Yeh keep me updated!

It takes a gentle touch to use, but not as gentle as iphone screens. So its still good for resistive. As for the cost, it costed me around $198. I'm not entirely sure if they did replace my LCD too, but it looks like it as its quite distinctive there's 2 layers to the part they removed, with my screen protector stuck onto the surface layer. And yes, i went to the official samsung service centre, or as they're now known as: Samsung customer Service plaza (or something like that ;)) Will keep you updated :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
