Hi
I have pink dots on the pictures in low light while using front camera. I'm going to the supermarket where I brought it tomorrow. But the thing is, that I would like a replacement instead of a repair.
The reason for this is, that I rather want the Samsung Galaxy s6 and if I get a replacement, I can just pay the rest for the Samsung Galaxy s6 edge and they exchange that. I can't do that if they just repair
The camera issue is a real issue, but any excuses I can make up to get a sure replacement?
The phone is under 2 months old.
Thanks in advance

A couple questions for a new user:
1. I cracked the screen of my galaxy note 2. I called samsung, they referred me to their repair center. I can't call them until tuesday on account of the holiday in Canada. My phone is rooted, will they repair it, even if I pay for the repairs if my phone is rooted?
2. Any idea how much it will cost to fix the screen?
3. Can I re-root my phone?
Thanks everyone
That's a good question. Idk if they would or not, but if you know what's wrong you can buy the parts yourself and fix it yourself. Galaxy is actually a fairly simple phone to repair on your own. I broke my gf gs3 and insurance wanted $200 to fix it. All that was wrong was the digitizer and the screen cracks. I found parts to replace them for cheap. If that's something you could handle I'd look into that first.
Sent from my brain to your eyes, to your brain, using my Galaxy S3, running Cm 10.1. I'm in your head now.
same here

Idk if it applies to the s2, but on the s3 the screen digitizer and glass are all one component. if you melt the glue holding he pieces, you can replace them individually which is much cheaper than any other option
I dropped my phone and shattered my screen this morning. After chatting with a Samsung representative about it, it turns out that they will repair the phone for $161 (including shipping both ways). Apparently this fee would cover any other damage that they find as well; they specifically mentioned things such as failure to charge and other physical problems. The number to call is 888-987-4357.
I just thought that this was a neat service, and significantly cheaper than Verizon's equipment insurance plan.
Plus, I'll include a nice little note to the repair team asking them politely about unlocking my bootloader.
lmao. since they just unlock BL on demand.. how much is an insurance claim?
Lol, more power to OP. If he gets it back unlocked I'll be thrilled.
Just do it yourself. Ton of YouTube videos out there

Yeah, but there are a few problems with that.
- OEM parts are more expensive than the repair through Samsung
- If I screw it up, it's even more broken than before. Apparently there's some glue behind the screen that causes easy damage.
- A Samsung repair is covered by Samsung. An Ivan repair isn't covered by Samsung.
Ehhhh, I agree the Samsung repair is easier, but definitely not cheaper. Good luck
S5 screen
Hello guys.
My Verizon S5 G900V has a damaged motherboard, but I got to successfully separate the screen from the phone. I was wondering if I could install this screen on a Galaxy S5 SM-G900M. Do you think my Verizon GS5 screen would be compatible with SM-G900M motherboard ??
Thanks in advance.

My best guess would be that it'll work, but you won't be able to use it on Verizon, since it's a GSM board. Need a mobo from a Verizon phone.

Not if the glass is separate from the digitizer, like it was for the S3 and S4. If it is separate, new glass is like $6 on eBay and is pretty simple to replace if you buy the kit. Example.
Now, if the digitizer is broken too, yeah, you should send it off and pay $161.
Thanks!
I was actually just about to drop my phone off at the local fixit shop for a $289 replacement, this is perfect! I can confirm the $161.29 fee with free shipping included. I also looked at redoing the screen myself (I did a few iPhones) but the assembly goes for over $200.
Thanks for the info!
Hi all,
I've smashed the screen on my smartwatch 2 and would like to get it fixed rather than getting a new smartwatch. Has anyone replaced the screen before? If so do you have any advice? Where can you get replacement screens from?
Thanks.

I'm wondering this also, Have a crack going straight through the center horizontally. It doesnt affect anything, but I don't even know when it happened. Looked down and it was there. figure anything out? Thanks
I didn't sort this out sorry. I tried the official Sony channels (I'm in Australia), and they don't repair the screens, just replace the whole piece. Not surprisingly this would cost the same as simply buying a new one. So as far as I know, these can't be repaired. I'm more than happy to be corrected though.
This happen even to me. The watch fell down from my table besides the sofa.
One air jump in about 60 centimeters...There goes my watch!
I contacted Sony support and got advice to contact repair center.
After contacted repair center I got the answer...
They don't repair any Smart Watch, but they offer me a new watch for about 1500 to 1600:- Skr.
Which in fact is the same as throw the broken watch and directly buy a new one...?
So it's hard to recommend Sony Smartwatch to my friends.
My old phone has died... but I still like the Note Edge better than any replacement...
Is it still possible to buy a brand new Note Edge?
If anyone was able to track this down it would be helpful... I am guessing there would have been a lot of unsold stock that I could take advantage of.
I have got my S8+ for almost 2 months now..it's a great phone and I really like it.
I were making a phone call and all out of the sudden got this ugly black spot in my infinity display and It doesn't go away.
help me out what shall I do ?
I think you need to send it to Samsung for repair. That's clearly an hardware issue.

I am still underwarranty so will it be a repair or a replacement unit ?
That depends on where you bought it.
I know I can have a replacement with the shop I got it from. (Darty France btw).
But I remembee Samsung take it to repair and lend you a phone.
