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

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 knew about the deductible beforehand though. Thanks the link really helped.
I love the xda community!
He's a great dev that's done some superb blind work for us but he needs a phone.
If we can raise enough it would greatly help this community. I would be happy to start the ball rolling with $30.
Update:
It's been decided to send Erik the money directly via PayPal. His address is [email protected]
We can then copy proof of payment to this tread.

@the thread if you guys are donating and want to make sure funds are properly used
have someone get the money together and buy the phone and ship it to me...just so you
guys don't think i will take the money and use it on something else.
Edit: just saying this because most of you guys don't know me personally nor have used my prior rom for sgs4g.
I can do 10 now another 10 next paycheck. But how are we going to do this? The only way I actually think will work is sending erikmm the money and trust him to buy the blaze. Or if he came out with another badass update. And he wouldn't release download link unless donated first.
So I guess we would have to take a poll for who would donate for update download link. After poll we can figure out how much each person. Would have to pitch in for erikmm to collect $580 (that's how much I paid after tax) to buy the blaze. What does everyone think? How about you erikmm?

Erikmm is correct that we should nominate someone to handle it. as to $580, we can probably do better.
http://us.webuy.com/product.php?sku=SSAMT769TMOC
granted it's C quality, but what does one really need in a dev phone?
Brand new Galaxy S Blaze 4G is sold at $349 on eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BOX-Sam...0732617648?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item43b103afb0
It's even cheaper for a used one in great condition, around $240 on Craigslist.
As long as the phone is fully functional so I can test everything then the phone can be used...just make sure it isn't blacklisted so I can fix wifi calling and the apn issue.
I have an s2 for personal use so this phone would be a dev phone
Last time I got a phone donated the users sent me the money bc I had a deal with another user to buy his phone it was all done publicly so the community can see. I say the cheapest/safest way to get it would be ebay because it has some guarantee that if the product doesn't work then you can open a case with PayPal

See that the #1 question. I have PayPal and have no problem doing so, but sure other people do to. Its either gunna have to be someone with the most posts and thanked (which isn't me)
But me personally I would feel most comfretable with erikmm doing it. But if he doesn't want to or if you guys don't trust him why would you trust someone else?
Either way were gunna have to do a tally for who is willing to pitch in and how much. Just don't be shaddy and back out cause that will get us nowhere
+1 $20 trevor7428
(I think would be less confusing if each person can copy name above and add there name under instead of a bunch of +1s everywhere. Would add people above but don't no if there still in)

once we hit that point then i'll buy it and have at it? lol
Router for erikmm?
Erikmm,
Not sure if this helps you, but I have a Netgear WNDR3700 router which I don't need. I could ship to you and you could sell on ebay or something and use the proceeds towards the phone.
Or I could ship to someone else who is willing to list it and sell it and them give you the proceeds.
I think its worth around $70 or so.
I just don't have the time to list it and sell it and do all that stuff... but I cold easily just ship it. Thoughts?

I really like the work erikmm has done for our phone. I dont think anyone else has made an actual working rom with such few issues for our phone. I think getting him a phone so he can help our community would be a huge asset, and im willing to donate also. I dont want to see this phone get left behind, and I do miss flashing different roms like I did with my Vibrant.

Somewhat. You both have to post your phones for sale and "buy" each others phone for the same price. That way no one looses or gains anything.
But in your case, no one is going to trade you for that without cash from your end, so the other person has to put their price higher than yours so you give them money with the trade.

Yeah I rather sell my Nexus 5 and pocket the money from the difference .
I'm in a reasonable position where I bought a Nexus 5 outright back in November because my GS3 had been dropped one too many times and acts very flakily. It probably only stays on for 5 minutes at a time so I registered and was happy to see the GS3 on the accepted phone list.
It's just going to sit in a drawer anyway so if I get the chance to smash it and get a new phone for a dollar then I'll take it. I doubt I'll make the list though.
holy **** lol, i'm definitely down for this, as a person who regrettably bought the LG G2, I'm game for smashing it if I can get a new phone for $1 lol

yeah its only a $300 phone.. when my One can sell for $400+
While I did apply for the competition, I somehow am hoping I will not win

So a Galaxy Nexus does not qualify? Shame.
Seeing as I'd only get around 250 for my nexus 5 if I went the eBay & craigslist route, I'd rather not go through the trouble and just smash it for the one+1. I hour I get picked. If not then I'll have to go the long route and maybe get the 64 gig one. Either way in getting this phone! Lol

Well, it's a marketing gag, nothing more. They want to show that ppl are ready to smash flagships for their phone. There is no pride to be gained if everybody would smash their historic phones for it :laugh:.
On the other hand, some of the qualifying models really bring more on swappa than the price of that 16GB OnePlus One. The whole campaign has a touch of decadence that I don't like...
I think I will just keep my HTC One M7 as a backup and add the OnePlus One 64GB to my collection.
