So I have a quick question, my epic has a cracked screen from dropping it in he road a while ago. I have a web crack at the home menu back and search button, in fact the search buttons glass is gone but it still word and there's two cracks leading up to the top of the phone. I now havetwo peices of tape over the screen(onion the right side one on the left ) this greatly reduces the picture quality and looks very strange. I was wondering if you guys know of a place where I could ether get a new glass and tear down video on how to replace it or a very good screen protector that won't reduce quality. I would also like to know what you guys would in my situation and I am a teen so I cannot buy another replacement for 100 bucks (and don't see why not just to upgrade at this point seeing yesterday I believe I have a 2 year upgrade (had hero then bought this on eBay )) or if I should get the Samsung galaxy 2 that's coming to sprint, thanks guys

My screen is cracked and some of the disitizer is showing and does anyone know how much sprint will want for this I don't want to do it myself( I was running and it slipped out my pocket and it got destroyed) but there's no other issues but a screetch siliver rim

Unless they have changed their policy, 35$. I know a few people who have had their screens replaced withing the last 6months or so and that's what they were charged without insurance.

as zamderman stated, The policy has changed, a lot of people were taking advantage of the old screen replacement policy so Sprint changed to the 1 inch rule since they were losing $$$$$.

That's not the info I received. What I was told by a sprint rep is with our phones any screen issue must go through ins because of the shortage of screens. Because my screen cracked internally you couldn't tell if I only had a 1" crack or not. My screen just didn't work. I had to go through ins.

Sadly due to some personal issues I will no longer be able to take orders.
I do however have some parts left mainly S4 stuff. It's been great doing business here and props to the mods for letting me do so.
I will fill any remaining orders I have pending then sell my stocked items.
I'll still be here on xda just on the HTC One forums. Thank you all for your business

Okay so currently my sales are kinda slow. So for a short while I will donate $5 to anyone who refers a sale to me over $50. Once I receive payment from the buyer i will pay the person who referred the sale. The buyer must mention who referred as well. I will also give the buyer a $5 discount on their purchase.

Yeah, I just prefer to ship it on my own time instead of having to meet up. I think it's just no one really goes to the market place. I've gotten way more views on this thread than any one that I've posted in the marketplace.
I've got parts for the epic 4G Touch, Galaxy SIII and the HTC EVO 4G LTE all OEM, all in working order.
Epic 4G Touch parts:
2 white screens - $50/ea
3 white housings - $20/ea
1 black housing - $20
2 black battery covers - $10/ea
3 white battery covers - $10/ea
1 battery - $20
Galaxy SIII
2 white battery covers - $10/ea
1 battery - $20
HTC EVO 4G LTE parts:
1 black screen - $80
4 black housings - $20/ea
8 black tops - $20/ea
3 batteries - $20/ea
Pm me if you're serious about buying. I cover shipping so all these prices are what you'd be paying. I do not cover return shipping.

Is where I keep my inventory updated.
$10 for a battery cover? Are you serious?
Where do you get these parts? I would imagine you are a Sprint tech that gets to take home some extra parts?

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!

same happened to mine today but the damage is much worse.
If anyone has experience with repair options I'd love to hear about it.
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.)

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.

dont replace just the screen..it can be done but you risk the chance of dust getting between the lcd and glass which will drive you crazy.
get the lcd/digitizer replacement..usually around $150-260 and swap it yourself..i did mine and it was pretty easy
What a an lcd digitizer? Lol, sorry i don't really know much about this yet.

I got my gn2 at best buy and pay 11$ a month for insurance... I'm happy to pay that cause i usually drop my phone every month or so and just take it there and get a loaner phone for bout 3days and then I get a refurbished gn2.. In the last 2years I've dropped, water damage and bricked over 10-12 phones and just gotta wait a few days for a refurbished one
Radio Shack does it for about $80 but you are without the phone for a few days.

Use to replace them free with insurance. My og Evo got shattered 6 months after I got it when I fell through an attic and I landed on it. They replaced the screen for free. Now it has to be a crack less than 2" I think.
