Display Touch Screen (AMOLED) Digitizer Assembly with Frame for Samsung Galaxy S4 (SIV) SCH- I545 / SPH- L720 / SCH- R970 (for Mobile Phone Repair Part Replacement)(Free Repair Tool Kits) (Black Mist)
I would start by saying that I work with small electronics very often and have repaired dozens of phones, both for personal reasons and client phones for business. This was roughly the 5th or 6th time replacing an LCD and digitizer on a Samsung Galaxy S4. The particular model this time was the Sprint variant (SPH-L720).
I spent the extra money on this screen expecting a superior product to the others I have purchased in the past. Initially everything was looking great, much better packaging, an acceptable tool kit, the addition of a midframe and screen protector. Then I started looking more closely! I will point out only the major flaws.
1. The supplied midframe was specific to the Verizon Galaxy S4. The GPS antenna attached (plastic soldered) to the midframe was specifically labeled "VZ" and only had one connector pad to make contact to the logic/main/mother board as opposed to the two that the Sprint version required. So I had to reuse the old midframe that was not in the best of shape.
2. On the back side of the LCD, quite a few of the heat dissipating pads that are pictured on Amazon were actually not included at all. I had to attempt to carefully peel and reuse the old ones from my old broken LCD.
3. Again on the back side of the LCD where the logic/main/mother board sits, the PCB gasket shown in the pictures on Amazon was not supplied at all and was impossible to cleanly reuse from my old broken assembly. This caused the entire logic board to sit slightly lower than it should. Due to the logic board now being seated in this lower position, when the phone was reassembled both the WiFi and GPS signals were absolutely junk because the spring contacts were not making contact with the midframe contact pads on the respective antennas. I had to disassemble the entire phone again and add aluminum foil pads/wads in order to complete the connections. They now work, but the signals are still VERY weak.
I have a "functioning" phone that will get me by until it is upgraded, but I'm definitely not a satisfied customer.
One other thing worth mentioning is that I didn't run into the same problem some of the other reviews mentioned with the LCD ribbon cable being slightly too short or in the wrong position. The one I received was perfect in that regard.

My Galaxy M919 feels almost brand new, only thing missing is the battery cover to make it complete. But over all it’s a good buy. For persons interested in this product, during the installation you will need to transfer some of the components to the new screen. While removing the components from the old screen be careful, I ended up damaging my front facing camera and now I have to replace it, good thing is it only cost 3-4 dollars so I’m not so upset about it, but as I said before it’s a good buy, just need the battery cover to make it complete.

The plastic tools could have been sturder as the edges of them chipped up really to easily in my opinion for doing work on small
