Can i get this part on USA?
Will preciate any help.
check mobiletechvideos.com. They to lots of different repairs on captivates for very reasonable prices.
^^^Just an fyi that site offers pay services, and is "against the rules" to actually post links to it.
You can say "check out mobiletcechvideos.com" but no direct links.

For reasons too dull to go into, i, or rather the company i work for, will be selling a few XDA's over the next few months - starting with about 20, but ultimately i'll have about 100 to get rid of, some II's, mostly IIi's, and a few IIs's.
The nick they're in varies from "scratched to buggery" to "brand new".
I have no idea what a fair price to put on them is - i was going to shift them on eBay, and just offer a "buy it now"price, depending on conition - say £50 for a working but ugly II to £150 for a shiny new IIs, still in its packaging - i can crack them, obv.
So, what's a sensible price that will get the company some money - thats my job after all, while still being reasonable considering what it is i'm actually selling -
Thanks
There are specialist companies who will liquidate your old phones but they pay silly low money eg about £20 per PDA style phone...
You need to complete the accessories bundle for as many of the good condition ones as you can and if you have any of the installation CD's perhaps copy them so all have one - a pdf of the manual is a good idea too. Use pictures of the actual item not a generic photo, unlock them using the tools on this site and maybe even throw in a PAYG sim - available cheaply on ebay, but above all be honest in the description of the unit. And test them all if you can. Note the seriels and if the warranty sticker intact before sending ( if not, apply your own)
Even faulty ones with smashed screens get £50 so your 'rough but working' should make at least £70 hopefully.
Hope this helps.
Richard
Thank you Richard - I should have mentioned i have all the accessories, though i'm perhaps 10% short on stylus's. I could easily offer two each of charger battery and case, if that would be an incentive.
Personally i'm a fairly well established eBayer, so i'll be inclined to use my own account rather than start a new one, and i wouldn't want to do anything that would merit negative feedback, so i'll be scrupulously honest -
if it would be in the spirit of the thing once i've decided a sensible price, i'll offer them here first less 10% or so
i've stuck a sort of "feeler" on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9715068209&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MESE:IT&rd=1
i KNOW the pictures are awful, but i'm assuming most people who would buy an XDA know what it looks like. Feedback appreciated as i'm REALLY good at buying on eBay but not so good at selling.
Too cheap? :lol:
Richard
flip!
it sold already!
i'm obviously not asking enough
I have a brand new HTC Touch Cruise for sale Still Sealed in box with US adapter. I bought an extra one for my wife, she says too complicated for her, wants a keyboard. I am putting it on here first before it goes to ebay. This forum is great and I love this community. I have been on here for a while and like to read and post sometimes. I am willing to sell for $630 which is well less than I paid for it.
Here are links to pics:

I accept paypal, thanks for looking.
IT IS NOW ON EBAY:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110259154308&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123
With lower price starting at $500, buy it now $650 thanks for the advice
my username is moochi2k on ebay I have 100% feedback.

A lot of lookers I see. Is the price right?
Fleedog - Well, I imagine there are a number of issues in play...
1) People are probably thinking of going with the HTC Diamond at this point if they are buying a new device. It's VGA screen, new features, and extra memory are a nice draw.
2) Price - I'm not saying yours is unreasonable, but now that new devices are out there, it's not a HUGE jump to spend a couple hundred more and get the latest and greatest.
3) Selling history - If you have any reputation with sales you can offer, such as Ebay feedback, etc. I'd suggest offering that info here so people can confirm it. Can only help your cause.
I wish you well with your quest. But I'd take a look at any Touch Cruise for sale on Ebay, find a fair price, and list it there. The greater visability by those who are looking to buy will likely be worth the fees.
Hello All.
I'm trying to help out my friend. he has a peble Blue Verizon S3, and dropped it/ broke the screen. The LCD doesn't even light
He only has had the S3 for 3 weeks, bought new thru Verizon(no insurance unfortunately..ouch).
What is the best option? He was told to call samsung and they may send him a new one, but that is a long shot it think? I have searched online and found many places with the part @~$220-260. Anyone know of a cheaper price, or a good repair shop thats reasonable? We can do the work ourselves if need be.
Thanks in advance

I'm also looking for such replacement. Those digitizers are really expensive!!! Are there any alternative sources? Here's what I found:
1. Depending on how savvy you are, you could save a couple bucks by replacing only digitizer. Easier is to replace the whole front frame, and not much more expensive either: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Screen-...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item5d4219bf6b
2. You can get digitizder only from China: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Display...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2330c458a5 or an OEM one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Samsung...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item5654dc87c0 . I suspect both are the same part, except getting it from USA seller is more expensive. Replacing is not OVERLY hard, but takes some effort. This video shows how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4Lh8T7vK18
3. If you go down the rabbit hole of cheapness, I'd say you might order it from aliexpress. You can get it for ~90 bucks, like this one: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...xy-S3-i9300-Tools-black-white/1218254599.html . I can't vouch for quality, supposedly it's an oem part, but what do I know. You can also buy a digitizer+frame part.
Also, I think Samsung now repairs for much cheaper that they used to. I think verizon phone repair is under $140 with free shipping and such. Might be a better option for you.
Another option is to buy a phone on craigslist, and sell your broken one. You can probably recover about 100 bucks, so if you get a good deal with craigslist one, it might be an even cheaper option (although riskier). Just make sure you are not getting blacklisted phone.
If someone who knows other places to buy even cheaper screens, I would appreciate if you share

Just wanted to drop a quick line here to tell you all that BestBuy will accept and match the 50% off any $50 accessory coupon you get from Samsung after registering the device. Best of all, it doesnt use up your coupon code (Note sure if the codes are unique or not) so you could reuse it on Samsung's website later. Options are slim right now, but I did just pick up an S-View case for mine for $26 after taxes. Unless you go for the non-Samsung knock offs, you wont find them for a better price.
Take care all!

based on my experiences with BB, it is definitely YMMV, especially when there's a coupon involved.

Yeah, it really depends on the associates. If you tweet out to Best Buy Support, you'll get an official answer via policy. But if a store wants to drive accessory revenue or something, then they will make exceptions.

This will be great if I can get it done on my local BB since I really wanted Samsung Protective Case which is sold out online. But knowing my local BB..... I'll probably be turned down even if I got the Note 4 there few days ago.
How would one go about obtaining this price match deal? I really want the plum red s-view case which my best buy has in stock but I don't want to pay the preposterous price of 50$ for it? Thanks for any assistance

To up your chances, bring a webpage printout of the offer along with the terms and conditions. Show it to the person checking you out and you'll have a good chance. As always, YMMV with retailers.
I take it this is US only? No such deal for Canadians?
definitely YMMV. I took my print out there, and they told me to pound sand.
So is this offer real. I would love to see if they take it for smart watches.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr 4!
This post is in regards to if you're in the US and ordering from Essential from the pre-registration.
Black vs White? Only Black is shipping in the next week. White is a "few weeks" out still. Who knows about Ocean Depth and others. (As of now, matte white isn't even promised to ever be available even after the big deal that Andy made of it on the reveal interview.)
There are no reviews out yet. Hopefully soon!
The 360 camera ships later. Nobody knows when later is.
Essential has a 15-day 100% money back return policy. Their Return Policy page is quite simple but there are some additional clauses in the purchase agreement that don't show up in their return policy page, notably about the theft detection mechanisms (it's unclear what this is exactly, if it's anything more than the standard Android thing that you can disable when resetting the phone).
Essential is offering a 2-yr extended warranty via Assurion that costs $99 for 2 years and has a $99 deductible for claims. Details here. Alternatively, tech_head below has shared some great info on 2-3 year Square Trade options, including a coupon for a discount.
Hopefully this info is helpful to somebody! I'm sure there's more info that can be added but these were a lot of things that weren't very obvious and took quite a bit of digging around to find. Enjoy!

I'm looking at the warranty. I read the terms.
It states that they can replace it with a phone with less features *AND* if they pay you out, it's based on "market" value as deemed by them.
I think I'll pay $160 for 3 years of Square Trade. Better terms. They refund full price if no repair is possible or if they can't find an identical refurb.

Do you have a link where that can be bought, or at least a starting point? I'll add it to the OP for others. I'm with you, I prefer SquareTrade, although I'm not sure I'd get a 3 yr plan. No way I'd not upgrade after 1-2 years.

Just go to the Square Trade website and buy a smartphone plan.

Two years is $149 but if you use the code Aug20, you get $20 off. I have used them for tablets, cameras and my LG watch.
I have filed a claim for different types of devices.
1. Full refund on a tablet.
2. Another tablet repaired.
3. Camera couldn't be repaired and the sent me a refurbished.
4. LG Urbane 2 got water damaged. They sent me a replacement from LG still in the box with all new accessories.
As far as 3 years, it's another $30 and you can transfer it when you buy a new phone. Better resale value.
