Thats a good page but unfortunately they dont sell 1 piece items.... they supply in high quantities and only if you have a company that repairs/resells/etc phones... they ask for a series of data like business name and legal stuff... i remember i tried to purchase 1x samsung OEM battery cover... haha they basicly laughed at me saying i need to be a company and buy at least 10x.

lol sorry for bumping the oldest thread i could find
im trying to replace the back housing of my infuse...has anyone tried the site listed in this thread? (etradesupply)
also, when disassembling the phone to replace the housing, is the screen at risk of allowing dust particles in? or is the screen/digitizer sealed? one of my pet peeves is dust behind the screen
thankss

Any guides on how to replace?

i have a infuse from rogers and im looking to replace the whole assembly. ive noticed on some websites that sell them theres different versions? example: rev 6.2, rev 7.0. just curious which one is for my rogers infuse

[Q] I just broke my triumph's screen!

I know I messed up by not getting the 5 dollar insurance. I sure am pissed of at myself now. To make matters worse I purchased my triumph on Ebay. lol. Does any cellphone repair store deal with these phones already, I might have to check sometime this week But is there any website where maybe I can purchase a gorilla glass screen replacement. I would gladly take on the repair challenge myself. Thanks everyone! Hopefully someone can help and I would greatly appreciate it!
(Edit) A nice VM chick allowed me to get it insured, surprisingly I still had time. If anyone wants to ill open it up for sure when I receive my new one.... for science!!!

Not to rub salt in the wound but I seen a bigger screen and figured I'd be the first one to break it so I got the insurance. I got mine from Best Buy. Might be a dumb question but will VM warranty it?

I believe BB only warrants the phone usually for 30 days, I'm not to sure. Regarding VM as soon as you sign up, you often receive a text that lets you add on insurance for 5 extra dollars. GET IT!! Because as of now my best hope is to just go to a random repair shop and see if they can even fix it.

Hey, do us a favor - take a photo of the broken screen and post it here!

http://imgur.com/a/fMIeG Here ya go! Basically the touchscreen still functioned but about 80% of the top screen was not working at all. Then the battery died and it did not want to take a charge anymore. Basically both issues are unrelated it just so happens that Motorola really rushed this thing, and you can tell what a terrible job they did looking at the whole sub-forum. I wish I would have avoided spending 300 bucks and would have grabbed the Optimus V instead, I never hear anything bad about it. And being a college student I cant afford a 100$ monthly plan.
(EDIT) Really looking at this, I don't even know if the glass broke or if the touchscreen did. I don't feel anything on the outside. You guys are the experts, I will gladly open it up for you guys if you want. I just need to buy those tiny screwdrivers.

OUCH!~!!!!!!! Sorry man

mod edit: Watch the language please. If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

I thought I read somewhere that VM warrants their phones for a year, no matter where you buy them. I could be wrong, and it could be for manufacturer's defects only. I'll look for the link when I get home.

I seriously doubt that would cover a cracked lcd screen. But I guess it doesn't hurt to try.

Yeah...there it is. The worst that can happen is they laugh at you...but what have you got to lose at this point? Maybe they can at least ship you a heavily discounted one...you never know.

Ouch that really sucks man
Well if all else fails you can always try and repair it your self.
It might cost a bit since some of the newer phones are coming with the lcd and the glass as one unit...
I might be wrong and only need to purchase the glass...
Good luck and hope you well

I'll eventually find a way to fix it. The good thing about it being prepaid is I can stop paying anytime without penalties. Thank you so much for being a kind person and wishing me good luck!

Just remember that if you claim it as lost, you'll have a $100 deductible. Here's the VM claim site:

Does anyone still buy the captivate?

I'm new therefore not allowed to post in marketplace. I got 2 brand new in box.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium

Yes people do. I've actually wanted to get a second one for a while.
I am not amused by your phones performance

New ones in the box seem to go for around 300 on ebay still.

So i'll sell mine for $250 shipped. $475 for the pair. They are att&t. But also one of the easiest phones ever to unlock. I'm glad to do it for anyone that wants it done before shipping. At the moment they've never been out the box.

I bet you would. Sgs2 on Amazon goes for about $550+. You said you would let them go for $475/pair. Yeah, I can see why you would do that.

Anyone that buys from this guy is a compete fool. No offense buddy, just looking out for the members. There's a reason u need a certain amount of posts to list in the market place. Lots of people getting ripped lately. Sorry buyers beware

Not sure how to respond. Because your absolutely correct. No one has any reason to trust me what so ever. And theres no way to change that. But my options are this or ebay. They have lost tons of value as it is because of the length of time I've had them. I'm sure I could get 500 on ebay, but by the time I pay their fee and paypal s fee for the money transfer and the shipping cost I might have 425 left. If you've sold on ebay then u know. And we all know what they cost so the thought of selling a brand new galaxy s for $212.50 seemed crazy. Wasn't sure what to do. I dont need the money but they'll be worth nothing if I continue to hold on to them. Its ok if u dont trust me.

Ha. I didn't know. I'm sorry I came off wrong. I was just trying to get rid of a couple extra phones. I know nothing about "scamming". Can we just delete this post? Its went completely in the wrong direction. Maybe ebay was my best option. Irony was I never thought about selling them in the forum until I noticed the"marketplace"

Try Amazon.

Why not try Craigslist?

Just bought a second one for my wife. I'll keep these until the Galaxy Note has been out for a month or two. Loving that 5.3 inch SAMOLED. No reason to go to the SGS2 that I can see. It is awesome, but not that much better than the Captivate.

Sure there is. I havnt sold in a couple years(another reason why I shy away, so much has changed) but i remember paying an extra .25 just to have a pic posted during search. Extra charges if you use alotta pictures. And the charge just to post, and the extra if you sell your item. Things of that sort. My accounts havnt been activated in a while. I went back to paypal the other day just to update that accout. New bank and such. Because i bought a few accesories for the captivate I use now. If the person thats interested perhaps lives in southern VA or northern NC maybe we could meet. I live on the line midway (Halifax County, VA) Or if there is someone you really trust on the forum I could send the item to the first. And when they get it they can let you know. Then I could recieve my payment. Of course it would have to be someone of high standing. I would hate to get ripped off myself. Just know I'm not here to scam anyone. I could take pics of the items if it helps. At least you'd know I actually have them. Beside a printout of this post so you know i didnt just copy a picture from the web. I'm trying here guys. I'm an honest person. I dont care if I sell them now. I guess now I'm just trying to build a little trust.

Post edited - You must post for sale items in the marketplace.

Insurance advice - broken gs3_ Help please!

Hey guys less than 30 days ago I bought a GS3 from best buy on Verizon. Last night I dropped it and of course it bounced and fell down a 3 story stairwell and shattered the screen and broke. Since its been <30 days I should be able to get protection from best buy or Verizon (Asurion) or others, but I wanted to ask you guys for advice on what I should do and if there is anything I'm not thinking about. I really really don't want a refurbished phone but if it's my only option then I have no choice. If anyone has a recommendation on what insurance plan to get please let me know. Thank you in advance!

I would check to see which plan would cover the device faster. I may be wrong and probably am, but assurion used to have a 2 week window in which you could not make a claim from the date of insurance purchase. Not sure how it is now. Their reason for the two weeks was to make sure the device was working when coverage was purchased to cut down on folks buying broken devices then turning around and filing a claim. Hope this helps.

I think Best Buy will give you another one in the store after you pay the deductible. Couldn't hurt to give em a call and grab a case while you're at it :good:.

I used to work at best buy when I was in college. In order to put the protection plan on the phone after the date of purchase you have to have the device with you so they can make sure it isn't already broken. Unfortunately if you didn't get the protection plan when you bought the phone the best buy route won't work.

Best Buy has no deductibles
Good luck OP...I hope you plan on keeping the insurance after you purchase it.
Not sure if this borders on fraud...kind of like having a house fire while on the phone with the insurance company trying to add coverage
so will close this.

[Q] Galaxy R LCD Repair

Sadly today i broke the front glass of my 1.5 year old galaxy R. I took it immediately to a Samsung Galaxy R SCC only to find out that they are charging in excess of INR 7000 to replace the digitizer of the galaxy R. I also approached other local mobile repair shops but they all are asking in excess of 4000 INR which I frankly think is too much to spend on 1.5 year device (despite the fact that i absolutely love my galaxy R). I then started searching online for the galaxy R digitizer and found a site called parts4repair.com . It seems to have an awesome inventory of galaxy R spare parts along with spare parts of other phones too. However i am confused as to whether i should trust this site as they are asking for 20$ including shipping which is quite less compared to what everyone else has quoted so far but still a large enough amount that i would not like to go to waste. Could anyone tell me of their past experiences of the site if anyone has ordered anything and also any other cheaper alternatives to repair my phone. The LCD which produces the image is fine but the front glass is cracked and doesn't respond to my touch anymore

IMO you should get it repaired from local shop. doing this you will get it repaired in very short time and its better that an experienced person fits the screen rather than you do after buying online.

Hold you hand buddy. we know that you are in so much bad situation but please Dont be panic else this kinda reply will tend to stay away other users from this thread.
@vipul12389mehta buddy was just suggest a Rule not asked you to adhere to it strictly.
You may trust the site but have to ask site (using call or mail) that what kinda delivery they will do (Means courier services). also keep on tracking the courier when it will be ordered. Hope all will go well.

Maybe you can ask other fellow members by pm about what they did in similar situations

Best way is to buy a LCD with the front glass (because it is fused) and then replace it. If you can't do this, ask something who can. But disassemble is not very hard and I'm sure that u can do it yourself

hey buddy, what did you do finally? Sadly Im in the same boat as you were.. I accidentally dropped my phone and the screen has multiple cracks. only a small portion of the touch screen is working, rest is dead.

Not really, even online from China if I would order the LCD and glass kit it would have costed around 90usd..
And it turns out that many people are right, it's extremely difficult to separate just the glass from the LCD..its almost like its fused, so we need repair with the kit only...
The service center here quoted almost 8k, so I saved Rs 3000
