IT ALSO LOOKS LIKE YOUR HERO200 ALSO HAS SOME SORT OF KEYBOARD MALFUNCTION.
In the meantime, sell your jacuzzi. Buy your father a knee brace for his condition and an Evo to replace the one he Adrian Peterson'ed into the jacuzzi that has no hope of ever recovering. Problem solved.
Wow, the way you worded that I thought there was something wrong with your dad, not his phone!
In all likelyhood, since you've already attempted to turn the phone back on, the phone is toast. For future reference if you electronic device falls into water immediately pull the battery and get the device into some dry rice. Leave it there for at least 3 days and do not be tempted to put the battery in and turn it on until then.

I like the terms you used lol and my dad has a knee brace had to get surgery though.
If you have the insurance, you'll have to deal with the insurance company, not with Sprint directly. There will be a$100 deductible but that's far cheaper than buying a new EVO

duuuuuuuuuude hah your paying for the luxury of saving money on a replacement. I understand your dad may have leg problems but he fell in a smallish body of water...i hope he is alright but that's not sprints fault. So you deal with insurance claim with asurion or whatever and pay 100 instead of a few hundred.
Not to be rude, but, you are 14 so the fact that you don't understand the idea of insurance is of no surprise.

Insurance is a gamble, but in this case-- he actually won.
Losing is paying for insurance on your phone for 2 years, and trading it in without having had to file a claim.
The loser here is Asurion, who now has to shell out a few hundred dollars for a replacement phone for the meager $7 a month they've collected from his father for the past two months.
Insurance companies are blood suckers.

UPDATE: Hey guys it's been 3 days and the phone works great! There are a few lines in the screen, but my dad already ordered a replacement . As for me I'm stuck with the Hero (
I have a locker at work. I keep my phone in it while I'm working along with all my other valuables. Well, when pulling the phone out of my locker, it fell to the ground which is about 3-4 feet. I have a Platinum case from Best Buy on it, which is the same as the Seidio Surface Combo case(I didn't have it in the holster) and a Zagg Invisible shield on it. The screen cracked in about 5 spots and won't turn on. The local Sprint repair Center didn't have the screen for it so I was advised to file an insurance claim. I just bought the phone on Saturday! Oh I am so mad at myself for not paying attention more and getting in too big of a hurry. The corporate store wouldn't exchange it for me. I know, no one cares about my sob story, but it just sucks and you guys are my ventilation units.
That sucks. At least its replaceable.
Yeah, but I'm a little upset that Sprint doesn't have these screens yet. It wouldn't cost me a dime if they did. Now I have to pay $100 deductible. It is what it is, but it's still upsetting.
That sucks man sorry. One night my girl got pissed @ me so she beamed my phone (she knows how much I love my phone) straight at the wall. I have a cheap case on the back end but I still got no scratches and dents on it. I guess I just got lucky. Sorry again.
sounds like bad luck. I've dropped my phone a ton of times with just a cheap TPU case on it. No issues so far, whew.
why cant they just swap it out for u? if its repairable, then u shoudnt have to go thru insurance...

Really? I've never known them to do a repair for damage for free. Normally they examine the phone for dents and signs of droppage and try to blame ANYTHING on that problem so you have to go through insurance. But I've only known them to do physical repairs for free on hardware problems not related to user error. A cracked screen would definitely get insurance status, and they'd merely charge you the $100 in-store for the repair instead of making you wait two days for Asurion to ship it out.
I just filed a claim... cracked my screen but it still worked... Sprint told me since it was longer then an inch, so I couldn't get the screen replaced at the repair center. bs

Said the samething when my EVO cracked. Repaired it myself then traded it for this phone because I broke the volume button. Stupid reason but no I miss my EVO, did everything I wanted to and more. Try fixing the phone yourself first.

I have never had to pay for a replacement due to physical damage (not water) and have had multiple cracked screens either repaired or the whole phone replaced (on other phones).
Seriously try a different repair center, I actually have the best of luck with 3rd party ones. If they can't repair the phone they just do an advance exchange and call me a few days later when the new phone comes in.

Turn it off and let it sit in a bowl of rice for a couple of hours or overnight if possible. Their are several water indicators so they will be able to ser them and tell you to file an insurance claim. Wait and see.

You almost always have to pay a deductible for insurance unless you pay a high premium. Look at your auto insurance. I'm sure you pay $100-$1000 out of pocket first before the insurance kicks in. If you know of any free insurance companies please let me know!

Total Equipment Protection/TEP has quite a bit a value considering you'll have to wait 20 months to get a handset upgrade which means in essence if you have to replaced your handset prior to that 20 month mark and you don't have either Equipment Replacement Protection/ERP or TEP, bend over and grab your ankles and get ready to pay full retail pricing or figure a way to get your hands on a replacement device.

it's very simple..short term tep might save you money, long term you're throwing money away. phone comes with 1 year warrantee so you're really not using tep until 2nd year and with deductible you're spending around 200 at month 13. Hell if you have tep on your og epic the deductible for a refurb is more than a used epic on craigslist.people complain about the $10 data add on charge but they'll give money away for tep...tep should be called HLS.....hook line sinker

Do you realize if you have to have your handset serviced and/or repaired and you do not have either the $4/month for ESRP or the $8/month for TEP on your account you have to pony up $35 in the store unless you want to ship your handset to the manufacturer and have then do the service/repair for you at no charge as well as most smartphone usually end up being serviced 3+ times within the first year i.e. $105 versus $96?
My screen cracked today after it dropped from my pants. I got it around 2 months ago, so does it still have warranty? I have the premium protection handset bundle on T-Mobile, so what would I do to get a new phone? And my phone is rooted...does that change anything?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
i would run triangle away first, then i would unroot my phone and finally i would reinstall tmobile's 4.0.4 firmware using odin
Would I get a new phone for free or no? And where can I get this app? Thank you so much guys.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If you have the Premium Handset Protection you would have to use it and pay the $130 deductible. Warranty is for problems not inflicted by you. Like if GPS stops working for no reason.
So would I get a new one in the store? Or would I have too ship it. And is it mandatory too triangle away and unroot? I'm running cm10 if it helps.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Although its unlikely they will care if its rooted/rommed, I would bring it back to stock as a small insurance against them being nasty about it. Go to www.phoneclaim.com/t-mobile or call 1-866-268-7221 to make the claim with Asurion, the insurance company.
Just bring it in to a T-MO store and ask for a replacement. First call them over the phone and tell them that your screen is cracked. They will set you up with a replacement.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
My premium protection package is through Asurion - the contracted company T-Mobile uses (at least I think it still is). They don't care if you're rooted. They make darn sure it's not a warranty-able software thing.
After I had paid for a 21 months of coverage, they still wanted me to put $130(us) into buying a replacement Vibrant... last May. I I found a few on Ebay for about $140. There's no harm, OK, maybe 20 minutes, in filing a claim to find out what they'll do. They won't send you anything until they receive the broken phone. I have a feeling they won't just send you a free, brand new replacement for nothing.
You may want to compare your "deductible" to what it might cost to get a new digitizer (and screen) to either put in yourself, or to have someone do it for you. I haven't tried anyone else, but PPCTechs has been fine for me, though they don't do everything.
I plan on dropping my coverage about a year into it. I'm also looking into a smaller deductible on my homeowners' insurance.
(I might also recommend putting a rubber bumper on it next time. Aluminum and hard plastic are great, but nothing takes a hit like a substance that bounces.)
What do you mean "still" ? I've paid my auto insurance long enough to buy my car twice and I "still" have to pay a deductible if I wreck. That's how insurance works, fun right?
A lot of these questions need to be answered by tmo. Did you try them before posting? You're going to have to go through the process eventually.
Not yet....I'm gonna check tommorow....so basically I gotta pay $130....that sucks...because I had 70 left over and was about to purchase a nexus 7....in your guys opinion, should I purchase the nexus 7 now and get a new gs3 next month? Everything works quite fine, there's just a crack in the screen.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I bought a N7 2 weeks ago. I liked it but most of them have there glass lifting on the left side. Mine did and so did the replacement I got. So I brought it back. If you do get one look for one with a serial number that starts with C9O. C8O and under are more prone to this.
With the premium protection package they will replace it in-store with a brand new unit. Be sure to run Triangle Away and Odin the phone back to stock before you bring it in.
So it is free and I don't have to pay a deductible?

I think several people have told you that you will have to pay a deductable. It will be $130 even with premium handset protection. Hopefully that makes it clear to you.
Thank you, everyone. So I'll just triangle away, unroot, and than revert to stock 4.0.4? Does that sound about right?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Triangle away, factory reset, odin back to stock, which will remove root anyways.
Yes revert to stock before doing anything in terms of replacing it, Then i would call a t-mobile store first and see if they will replace it in store for the deductible, With Premium handset protection some stores will replace it right away others will tell you to file a claim and mail it in, it all depends on the store. No matter how you replace it you will be subject to the 130 deductible and a 5 processing fee on your bill. If you file a claim through asurion and do so before 8:30pm eastern they will ship it that day and its usually a one day ship. Also you only get two claims within a 12 month period. So be sure to get a good case moving forward.
Best of luck.

Alright, so the unthinkable happened. Yes, I dropped my beloved Note II. Less than two weeks into owning it, too.
The drop was about 2 feet and landed on my foot, then bounced onto a tile floor (yeah, I know). The fall was light and hardly made a sound, but alas I now have a spiderweb originating on the left side of my screen. It's not too bad but here are some pictures so you know the kind of damage that can befall your phones.
It was VERY difficult to take pictures of, but it's easy to see under a light. I just thought some of you might want to know how easily the screen can be broken.
If anyone has any advice on dealing with this, It would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I'm in Canada with Bell, and have their smartphone premium care plan. I haven't spoken to anyone yet as this happened this evening, but it looks like it only covers accidental damage resulting in failure, for which i have to pay 150$ for a new phone (that seems to be the only option). So for now I think I'm stuck with a very sadly broken screen. If anyone cares, I'll update later after I talk to them.
I have same plan with Bell. You will be covered. Just have to pay the $150 on your next bill and send in your old one. My daughter dropped a 3 week old bold 9900 into the toilet and it was covered!

I got mine on release day, and the guy in the store took their demonstrator to lunch and dropped it. Cracked the screen on the corner.
I replaced the screen on my Inspire and it wasn't too bad. I watched the video of replacing on the GN2 and it looked quite a bit easier, so I think you would be fine trying to replace yours. Good luck
Too funny. I did the same yesterday. Had it sitting on my wallet face down on the kitchen table and it slid. I caught it with my legs, rolled off my foot and hit the ground. About a 6 inch fall at most. Two big cracks and a chip. Two generations of notes, two broken screens Haha.
Have a square trade warranty and the phone actually functions like normal so there is at least that.

The problem is that I'm not sure if it's just the glass on the front that's broken, or the OLED/ touch panel itself (since I believe it is a single panel on this phone, right?), which is at minimum 200$ to order the part. I am entirely comfortable replacing it myself, though I don't want to pay that much if I can avoid it.
I'll take it to the Bell store tomorrow and see what they can do before doing anything else though.

If you can turn it on and see the OLED is providing images then its fine. The didgitizer is all you need to replace. The ifixit link is the best place to learn from. I replace screens on many phones and as long as you follow the golden rules your going to have a great repair experience.
1. Ask or search before you guess
2. NEVER EVER force anything. If it wont budge seems to require force. Check your sorce and ask first.
3. Double check all your connections
4. Keep a clean work space with plenty of light.
5. Stay geounded. (Usa a mat, strap, or whatever.)

Damn man sorry to hear that. I've only done iphone screen replacements so not sure how difficult these are to replace but here are some you can pick up if your comfortable doing this kind of stuff.

So the link in this post should be the piece I would buy? (Thanks 45ACP1911)
Just curious. Do any of you guys have a case on when the Note fell ?

Nope, no case. Got the Samsung tpu case incoming now though for when I send it in for warranty repair.

Plus deductible of $200 I believe.

That's why I waited to buy from Best Buy, it's$10/mo, but no deductible. You might get a refurb if they can't fix it, but at least it is free.

They have 2 insurance options
1) $7.00 - Insurance Only
2) $10.00 - Insurance + Better CS + GPS Location Services
When I was in the store to change sim cards, the in store rep told me only the $10.00 was available. However, when I called into AT&T CS, they allowed me to chose just the $7.00 option. $200.00 deductible still applies.
I believe it was covered in a previous thread, but Best Buy insurance does not cover lost or stolen phones.
