Is it possible to swap out the digitizer from another Note 4 in to my own device, without doing damage to the S pen functionality? When you pry open the screen you apparently damage the copper film – what is the purpose of this film, and does it damage S pen functionality? The replacement screen kit everywhere I look is the same price as a used Note 4, or Chinese phone, so the only cost effective option is to buy a broken (for parts) device on eBay that has a working screen.
I’ve done it before without any problems. Also, I think you’re talking about the contact point for the digitizer on the glass. As long as you’re careful you should be fine. I frequently swap parts of devices. The only times I’ve had problems were my fault i.e. rushing, being careless, ect. Good luck.
Have same problem here. OLED is apparently fine but the digitizer is glitchy. I did also find a crack in the top which may be why it had issues but can’t tell for sure until its completely removed.
I’m wondering the same. And John or Andre did you try this? And if so, can you share the outcome please. Thank you much.
