It just seams that as time goes on the screen will eventually start to fail (dead spots/trouble alligning it) you can replace the digitizer (touch screen) but I have read about some people having trouble with this.

This phone was awesome a couple years ago...if your debating on getting another one...then get it :P

Most of the new themes and such are for (W) VGA anyway

I can tell you my current screen s*** the bed already....from experience :D

Look at the thread...how to replace touch screen here:

How to mount a new Touch panel on Omnia

There are over 700 posts in this topic becuase eventually everyone's screen shits out

[Guest MimomaN]

thanx again bro

i guess this huge number of replays related to the old and the new i900 version " the improved screen "

so every one want to change the screen the new one

please any one tell me if i am wrong , and any confirmation about that ??!

please tell me before any thing bad could happen

I can confirm that: after a while the screen will suffer from misalignment and hard recognition of finger touches, sometimes this happens to the whole screen and sometimes to few spots only. Mine for example suffers from misalignment at the whole right side of the screen (I have the phone for 2 years now), I tried some registry tweaks which helped a little... But now I'm planning for a digitizer replacement.

As I saw, if you plays gentle touches with the screen, it will last with you for a long time, but eventually it will be almost dead.

To be honest I am supprised how long these screes have lasted. When it was time to move to a touch screen phone I thought that theres no chance these things will last but it has and still in mint condition with close to 100 flashes and hours upon hours of fiddling around and setting it up and day to day use you cant really say that theyre no good. Mines about 1 1/2 years and I feel confident it will last the 2 years(I hope)! but then again you never know!

Not sure about the time they take to die. Friend had issues with his after a couple of weeks and had it replaced.

i just sent mine in to service center.

Phone was used for under 6 months, and I took good care of it, actually thats a lie, there were no scratches on the screen but sometimes i get ticked off when it jams so i slap the screen. I am pretty positive thats what caused it. hahahaha.

no worries tho it was covered under warranty and if it wasn't its only 15 bucks for a new digitizer.

[Guest MimomaN]

SH*T , i am totally SHOCKED :D

i liked this phone , but nothing is complete in this world !

why u made it with us samsung ?!!

i really hate when i like something , and Suddenly i found s*** like that :P

guys you know why i am angry and sad ..

if that happened , i will not only lose the original screen and open the phone

besides i will pay around $70 to repair it , yes you saw it right , 70 dollars !

and after all that , i will sell the phone with half price when i sell it , because it's " Opened "

You mean $12 right, that's how much it costs to buy a digitizer. Obviously the phone will loose value because a) it's second hand, :D it has been tampered with and c) it's old.

You'd be lucky to even sell the phone for $100. It is a p.o.s in my opinion, only got it to replace my beloved HTC. I'm grateful to all the chefs but it seriously is sluggish, I'm embarrassed to take it clubbing with me. Can't even type on it properly.

Instead of wasting money of fixing the phone, get an Android device or wait and see what Microsoft brings in September/October with their Windows 7 Phone series. Actually, use an old phone if you can and wait till September/October, great handsets are going to be released then.

sounds like you should just invest in a new phone. 70 dollars is like 1/6th the price of an incredible or 1/4th the price of a droid. hahaha.

[Guest aceofrazgriz]

i've had almost a 2 year run with this beast, screen is still pretty darn solid. It is beat to hell though and that has affected its performance a tad. Just ordered new screen (and got Incredible.) I'll have to check out how the new digitizer performs before passing it off to a buddy.

[Guest MimomaN]

@ all : thanx guys for reply

the strange thing , i talked today to the official reseller of samsung on my country

i asked him about that matter

you know what he told me , he told me that there's no any common hardware problem makes the screen Die after while !! :D

i asked him a lot " are you sure ? " .. he told me " yes i'm "

and they had official reseller of samsung and the biggest maintenance center on my country

but must people in my country never mind about using custom roms

so , do you think this problem appears only with people using custom roms only ??

i am sorry if i asked for more explain :P

you mean you have it for 2 years and and the screen still working perfectly ??

if so , why you ordered a new one ?

i am sorry i'm a little confused

[Guest aceofrazgriz]

yes, i haven't had any problems with my screen over the life of the phone.

i have ordered a new digitizer (top layer of screen which picks up the touch input) simply because it has become beaten up and scratched. Wouldn't bother with this if i wasn't giving the phone to my friend.

[Guest MimomaN]

^^ wow , finally good news :)
