well its $178 and i am sending it in. wow this suck!!!!!!!!!!
that sucks. Just yesterday my s3 slide out of my pocket after 3 days of owning it (the case i ordered 2 days ago will be here tomorrow too) .. cracked the bottom corner, but I might just live with it, just thinking about getting a case that covers the edges so i wont have to see much of the crack would be good. http://i46.tinypic.com/5lyx41.jpg

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.

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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvosH8UZrWw
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.

dont think you read the OP

if you have insurance through Asurion... then yes!
I dropped my HTC Aria off a balcony one night while enjoying some beverages and it broke into half a dozen pieces. I went online and filed a claim through Asurion's website. $50 later... I was sent a Samsung Infuse!
I was very happy... nice little upgrade for me!
Be careful, because if you file another claim within the same year... they will cancel your insurance and you will be SOL if it happens again... So only throw your phone at the wall once every year or so
Hmm.. well no flashing for you for a little while.. :/ Um.. I would recomend the Best Buy Black Tie plan next time.. you could always claim it stolen...

I threw a phone against a wall once (never argue with a woman over the phone). I was ready to pay full price for a new phone (because i was stupid). Since i had insurance on the phone the ATT guy told me to file a claim and report it as lost/stolen.. I did it and paid my $50 deductible and got a replacement phone.
I don't recommend to anyone to do this but if you have the insurance you may as well use it..

Mehhh I'm not really sold on the Note yet. I've been looking at it, but I dunno.
It's a possibility
My phone decided it wanted to go for a swim on the 4th and is dead. Tried bag of rice to no avail. I have the insurance and was given the choice of the HTC Sensation or Galaxy S2. Went with the Galaxy.
Anyway, I just want to say thanks to everyone on this forum for the awesome ROM work and support over the last year or so. It's too bad we can't get the display drivers API from LG so we can get some ICS with working video love, but oh well.
Again, just want to thank everybody. I will now be hanging in the Galaxy S2 forums until my full discount comes into effect in February and I can get the S3.

Enjoy the GS2...

I called in and asked them what the replacement was. They said that the G2x is discontinued and not available as a replacement, so they gave me the option to choose between the SG2 and the HTC Sensation. When I said the SG2, they even gave me the option to choose between Black or White. I chose black.

Similar situation here. They apologized that the g2x wasn't available and offered me a Sensation. I played it off as I hadn't heard of that phone before and asked if she'd mind waiting a minute while I looked at the phone online. She said sure and that I should check out the GS2 as well, that was another alternative. I said I was familiar with that and chose it, opted for white
Well as I stated in other post I was needing a replacement so I called in. But they didn't offer me a different phone. They shipped out the same one. Its cool with me but weird how "its not available" but I got one

If you have insurance call them up tell them what happened and they will either offer you a different phone like gs2 or the same for that 100ish. I needed a new phone but they didn't offer me the gs2 they just sent me the same. But then again it was a free exchange so who knows

I had to pay too, said the phone was acting up, battery dropping quickly, had to pull battery constantly. I also told them that I stooped at my TMobile store and they suggested I call them.
I've had to pay in the past too, fire a charging port issue. I believe you always have to pay, no matter what happened. I received a refurbished phone, perfect condition.

When you call into AT&T ask for the number to the warranty department. They will ask you a few questions to determine if that's the right department you are looking for. Just say you charged your phone and it no longer turns on. Eventually after lying a bit more you will have a replacement device on its way to you. Works for me all the time and have never failed yet.
They say all kind of things to scare you out of it, but nothing ever happens. I don't know if it is just my luck. I warranty at least 3 times for the year just to keep my phone looking brand new and I send it in working perfectly fine.

If you wanna keep karma intact call Samsung and ask them how much it would be to replace the digitizer. If you don't believe in karma just flash a ROM to it from another Samsung phone. Bring it to ATT store and say WTF my phone just stopped working.
Lol thanks rapstar I can definitely give it a shot. Here my thing jyazzie that your correct they don't warranty hardware breaking so by my son dropping the phone voided the warranty. But here my thing I have had other providers and they always warrantied at least one accidental replacement and for 199 I could just go and buy something else like a galaxy note. But seriously 199 for a phone that is on the do not sell list lol. Thank you all for the help and feed back. But I'll see if my work will let me get one temporarily.

I'd try to brick it through Kies, tbqh. Can be done without the screen on if you restore to 2.3 in ODIN. It's a risk that they see the digitizer and have a "WTF" moment, but you stand a good chance of getting away with saying, "I did the upgrade through Kies and now it doesn't work."

Indeed. I actually had Samsung replace my screen when I broke the glass a few months ago. They charged me 158 and they covered shipping both ways. I had the phone back in 8 days. Since they did the work it is still under warranty if anything else should go wrong. It was actually cheaper than any of the glass/digitizer units I could find online.

Okay I'm not trying to sell my s3 here, but I need advice on selling it locally. My s3 is in great condition. the screen has literally NEVER been touched, but I did drop it on a church trip and a crack covers a bottom corner. Just one in-line crack on the bottom corner. I want to know a decent selling price is cause you can't tell the crack is on the screen when the screen is on and everything works perfect still. including where the crack is. I have the s4 now so I'm looking for a little extra cash but don't wanna rip myself or a buyer off. thanks!
the screen protector is dirty near the home button just so you know that is not the actual phone

there are videos on youtube. looks pretty "fool proof" if you are willing to risk possibly messing the digitizer up. if that happens you are at like 200 bucks in repairs.

Honestly, I don't believe it will sell as is. The S4 is out and that has caused some S3s on Ebay and Craig's List that don't have the crack for fairly reasonable prices.
I hope I'm wrong but I'd really try to repair it or at least get prices on having someone else do it for you. If you know someone who can fix it, you might get it done for parts plus a couple of six packs. :laugh:
Radioshack has a service they offer that fixes broken screens and it is less than a 100 bucks. I know in my area there are at least 2 places that fix screens for less than 50 dollars. Most of the phones on Craigslist in my area have already dropped in prices so don't expect much more than 200 for a broken screen.

well I already have the s4 and a backup droid x2 (haha I know) so I may just sell it for around $100-120. otherwise it will sit on my desk. I have a friend that already wants it bad. He is switching from an iPhone of many years so I can cut him a deal to help him out. Thank you everyone for the advice!
