Not insured by sprint? I think the replace screens for around 50$ even without insurance don't quote me on it though that's what I "think"

I have insurance on mine and they actually replaced it for free... I am a valued customer who pays more than $400/month though so that could be why....

I would probably take it to Sprint, I just got mine replaced not to long ago because my front camera was on the fritz, so they said it was going to be 36 dollars for the replacement, I don't have insurance. But as I walked out the door, they never took money, and it wasn't on my bill... so score I guess.

lol, I got my phone replaced for free with no insurance, the screen absolutely went to crap.

how much for the epic?

My wife dropped her epic, worked fine for about a day while the screen slowly turned black. I took it to the Sprint store, they said it costs $35 (without insurance) to replace the whole top piece. They told me the part was on back order and it has been about 3 weeks and they have still not received the part.
This is her business line (self employed) and it would be nice to get her epic back up and running, so if anyone has an extra screen or bricked or bad esn epic for sale please let me know. OP might be interested too.

[Q] Dropped my skyrocket!

ok so i just got my skyrocket about a week ago. And i dropped it and the chrome around the phone chipped pretty bad. I tried to go into today to say like the phone was laggy and stuff. Then the associate said just restart the phone. Then i asked her about what the insurance policy is and i asked about the chipped chrome and she told me to go to the AT&T service center and said they would swap it out. i went which is about like 30 min away from me and once i got there they said they wouldn't do it. Anybody know what i can do to replace it?

Brick it?

I wish I could like this! Even if you brick your phone they should look at it and deny your claim due to abuse. I would if I were the sales person. It's people like you who drive our prices up.

That, or just don't drop the thing to begin with.

You should have had a case from day 1. They will not replace a phone with serious visual defects unless the defects are from manufacturing. Also, bricking the phone will not do it either since it has been dropped. You're just gonna have to deal with it. Sorry.

Exactly we are talking about a gadget not war or chivalry.....we all make mistakes that's human nature and I'm not saying his reason is the best my rocket has taken some spills and it still works but I will say us middle class people work 5 maybe more days a week and should be cut some slack when it comes to things like this when big companies could care less I say we don't get enough from most big companies just enough for us not to leave. But this makes you a bad person ? Robin hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor but he still stole. There are rapists and killers you can talk to about honor.

My skyrocket is 100% functioning, except... The screen is broken as well as the glass, I can turn it on and see my files when I plug it into my computer, anyone willing to buy it off me for around 100~ all you need to do is to replace the screen. PM me if anyone's interested!

I don't need lte as hspa is fast enough for my needs. Maps, fb, scanning & browsing a bit.
Rooted Modded Now to mod it a little more.
Glad to have a phone that is good enough for my needs.

Dropped my s3 broke the screen the screen wont even turn on

Sucks more or less than dropping $600 for another one entirely?

I would recommend this case. I've dropped my phone twice. Once about 5 feet onto a wooden deck, and once about 3-4 feet on to concrete. Both times it landed on a corner.
Through luck and the case, my phone has zero damage. Actually, the time I dropped the phone on the deck, the impact was enough for some of the deck's paint to transfer on to the case.

i dropped mine on the pavement and my five year old stepped right on it! full weight no damage. landed screen down. otterbox defender FTW!

so i sent my phone in it was rooted and it was running cm10 samsung wont penalize for that right?

Highly unlikely Samsung would care (whereas Verizon would). They're also unlikely to notice if it won't turn on.

Since you aren't sending it in for any warranty work, Samsung won't care at all. No reason for them to care. You're paying for a service, not warranty work.

Don't put a cheap case on your S3!!

Is Liquipel any good?

Is it worth getting? Has anyone experienced it? A wealthy friend of mine has decided to buy it for me, and if it works well, he's going to get it for his Skyrocket/S3. I'm the Guinea pig.
I also have spare batteries, should I send those in as well? Do I need to send my case in too?

sounds like an insurance scam to me. for the same $60, you can buy the VZW insurance at $5/month for 12 months.

But you can use it in WAAATER. I'm not expecting any magical underwater capabilities but if I can use it in the shower (more specifically I don't have to be worried about getting wet on the pool deck) that would be cool.

meh. maybe if the phone cost you several hundred dollars and you plan on keeping it for another 2 years..... but not worth protecting the Charge IMHO.
i've never really been that hard pressed to use my phone in the shower. what concerns me is that they do NOT recommend that you test it but dunking it in water.... understandable, but still.

probably not - as it requires me to send my phone in to a company I don't know. despite their "tracking" system. even if I was there, I'm still not a fan of putting a foreign substance on my phone that could cause it to malfunction. basically, I do not see the reward outweighing the risk in this matter.

Well I just bought it. Rather, my friend did. I'm shipping it out later today. Wish me luck.

Nice... is it basically like a razr now?

I "tested" by pouring a water bottle cap full into the battery compartment...continues to function normally so I guess it works. Too much of a pansy to test more than that though.
Weird thing is, it tripped the water detection paper when I checked it later, at the time that I did it, the label didn't turn pink.

Pansy? Seems like you really want a new phone
Still Charged Up

IMO, I would use Liquipel as something of a prevention for one of those "oh ****" moments. I wouldn't go out of my way to test it out as I'm guessing that the extent of it's protection is mainly to keep water out long enough for you to retrieve your phone. For free, I would get it if I had another phone to use in the meantime, or if I could get it done locally. But, I probably wouldn't pay for it unless I was planning on keeping my phone for 2+ years.

Mine is too but I think im going to wait till winter to upgrade. Big mistake last year when I upgraded in august... missed bionic by 3 weeks and if i had waited i would have a razr/nexus/rezound. Charge->razr/nexus/rezound is a way bigger upgrade than razr/nexus/rezound->gs3 (summer) in my opinion. Same with like droid x/droid 2 /fascinate (or whatever was the best back then I dont really know) -> charge, tb, revolution. Just added 4g (similar internals though).

Yeah, I'll be looking at the expected phones when I get closer. Problem is, I probably won't be able to get a winter phone since I'll be in college.
I still think my Charge was the best choice at the time I had to upgrade. I didn't have any time to wait since they were ending unlimited data.
