it's pretty bad, luckily i have a screen protector on it so all the glass is still in position. i peeled a bit off and pieces of glass were falling out.
anyways i dont have insurance, i was looking thro ebay to buy whats needed to fix it myself, but i'm not entirely sure what i need. it's fully functional, the glass is just cracked, but nothing wrong with the touch screen. now with that said....
do i need this?

Take it to Sprint,under their new policy,they will repair it for 35.00 if you don't have insurance.

read...................they give you a refurb or new one, not guaranteed to be 0002 or 0003, take your chances or replace the whole front, i got a few of them
thanks
thank you for the quick reply i think i am going to chance it and send it in rather than me destroy something
I'm not forcing you to me but it is literally impossible to screw something up, its no relying, nothing, just straight up screwing 6 screws swap front part if phone with new one, and screw back, its really easy tbh

They don't just give you a new one or refurbished one. If all he has is a broken digitizer and LCD they can replace that. They usually carry 003 and older parts in stock. If the damage is beyond repair then they might give him a refurb but not without verifying that the phone is repairable.

Maybe. Not sure about the water damaged ones. But I would suggest buying it keeping on the account for a while then taking it to get repaired. You don't want to raise suspicion and then have sprint cut the repair policy.

Thanks for this post. My screen broke yesterday. I was running upstairs to my apartment with the phone in my hands and I tripped and had to brace myself with my hands. I didn't even know the phone was broken till a few minutes later when my gf saw it.
I'm so glad Sprint will fix it for $35 I thought I was going to have to wait a month at least to save up @$100 and buy a replacement screen. At $35 I'll have it fixed next paycheck or maybe the next one cause of xmas.

See if there is a Sprint repair center nearby. Stop in and see what they say, sometimes they can swap screens from other phones they're sending back, as long as they're not "Damaged beyond Repair".
Thanks for the info. I'll look into that option.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Another option is simply ghost armor, just do the screen protector. They're by far the best protectors I've seen on many levels n do wonders to existing scratches. Try n find a store n at least let them show you n you can decide

Its a $100 deductible if you have the TEP plan. If ypu have a bricked device and no insurance, sprint will do a warranty exchange for $35. I know, i had a photon and had to do this twice. The second time, i got a et4g.
But please dont go bricking a device just to get a replacement screen.
whoa whoa whoa, i hope thats for a bricked phone with no tep only, because ive had 6 or so cracked screens over the last 2-3 they've absolutely REFUSED to fix without going thru asuiron

Corning never claimed it was scratch proof. If that were the case there would be many lawsuits.
As quoted from their site:
" Gorilla Glass features exceptional damage resistance to the scratches, drops, and bumps of everyday use"

whoa take it easy... it is an definitley an option just not one that all tech centers will do there are plenty of techs who root and play with there devices as we do on here and they all seem to be a lil more sympathetic to our problems then there are the older techs who believe they went to school a billion years to make a phone work as the manifacture intended lol.
ok now for a useful helpful tip... If you have an mechanical skills and some patience you can get a screen off the web for a decent price and swap it yourself there are 3 screws on the mother board and I believe 3-4 lil plugs that you need to unplug but BE Careful as these are thin and the life of our device other than that its butter and to make it even easier they are actual philips head instead of some torqe bit or allen.
Well hope that helps and if you decide to do it and want a step let me know Ill shoot you some pics

This is very common confusion so let me clear it up for you:
Sprint repairs phones which have issues caused by manufacturing defects. The same things that Samsung (or whatever OEM) would cover in their device warranty. (e.g. the headphone jack stopped working for no reason. Really any failure that can in no way be attributed to the owner doing something to cause it). You cannot convince a repair tech that your screen has scratches on it due to a manufacturing defect - just not a reasonable thing unless you bought it the same day and show them the scratches before you left the store they will have to assume you scratched it.
Cost: Free if you have TEP or $35 if you don't have TEP.
Assurion covers phone replacement for ANY reason. (E.g. you spilled coffee on it, you bricked it with a bad flash, you lost it in a bar)
Cost: $100 (deductible)
I cracked my screen in the top right corner so I am looking to replace the screen. I was wondering if anybody was looking to sell one or a knew of a place where I could buy something of quality other than ebay. If there is a good price, I would also be interested in buying white housing.
I just had the same issue....it'll run you anywhere from 200-250 for a new piece, unless you find a good deal on eBay. I wound up using my TEP and had sprint send me a new phone, it was much cheaper to do.

Damn. Definitely not what I was hoping to hear. Nonetheless thank you for letting me know whats up. Could I probably get the screeen fixed at a sprint repair center that way I would get it back in like a day? Right now the performance of the phone is not hindered in any way so it is not a big deal really.
When I brought mine in they said they don't fix screen cracks. But give it a shot, maybe they were being lazy at my store - worst they say is no.

sprint ESRP covers 1-2 cracks less than an inch in length. anything more than that, you would need to use the ERP portion of the TEP.
that being said, usually if we have the part, and its a guaranteed fix, we have no issues replacing the part. if we dont have the part, we arent going to order the phone as that would ding back on us.
*by we, i mean the location i work at.
doesnt hurt to make friends with the technicians at your local sprint store and see what they can do.
I have a white LCD for sale if you're interested. lmk.

I cracked my screen in multiple places and I found a link somewhere here for one on eBay. It was some $80, and it took me about 10 mins to replace. I'm very happy with it, the only problem I have is that it has a weird orangeish tinge when I turn the brightness to the lowest setting. But since the most of times I just keep the brightness at 50+, it doesn't bother me at all. So yeah, look on eBay.
I have plenty white screens for sale for $50
They are in flawless working order. Ask around, I have lots of happy customers.

I have a question regarding the ESRP policy with a cracked screen. If it's cracked, it's cracked, why does it matter how many cracks or how long the crack is?
About the white screens....

Yeah the two parts are fused together. I read some stuff about cheap/fake gorrila glass units on ebay so I sent mine straight to Samsung for repair. Cost 180$ including shipping to and from. Even the "oem" screen digitizers cost 200–300 on Amazon or cell repair sites.

Sorry to hear that. You can get part and fix it yourself. Save some buck or take it to bestbuy or radioshack.
I am also sending mine in for fixing. What I would like to know is if they will replace the metal frame that goes around the phone mine has a big dent from the fall I think its called the bezel? Anyone know if this gets replaced when samsaung fixes the screen.

Yeah it took a good week. It looks and feels like brand new. They even replaced the button at the bottom. And about the comment of just getting good a refurbished one in return... Check your serial afterward. I got my original phone back. And to folks who offer to fix these my main concern is genuine oem parts. Some ppl have said after they fix there's the phone simply doesn't feel like it's oem state.
Dose anyone know if I can replace only the digitizer?? All the tutorials I see online is replacement of LCD and Digitizer..
Digitizers are $25 on ebay Digitizer and LCDs are over $200...
After further investigation I found out why you can't replace just the glass..

Acutally there are several tutorials on just replacing the screen. It is a bit tedious and will require patience but is very doable. From all I see, the outer metal/chrome/etc frame is part of the digitizer is and will not be part of the screen only replacement. Screen assemblies alone are around $30 on Ebay

the price for the replace screen is so expensive
YOU CANNOT JUST REPLACE THE GLASS OR JUST REPLACE THE LCD! THEY ARE FUSED TOGETHER!
IN ORDER TO UNFUSE THEM YOU NEED AN OVEN DESIGNED JUST FOR THAT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN!
Buying just the glass is a scam and will not work!!!!!!!! YOU MUST BUY THE GLASS WITH THE LCD FUSED TO IT ALREADY!
Dropped my GSIII face-down on concrete Saturday morning....phone didn't bounce. When I picked it up, majority of the screen is cracked, much more near the bottom...however there are no scuff marks along the sides and back....and the touchscreen and phone still work. After I get back from vacation, which will be 10/27, I will more than likely buy another one. So after I do that, how much should I expect to get for my current one if I put it up for sale?
ive seen a lot of cracked gs3 for around 250 but never more than 300.

Ill give you $150 for it.
dont sell that thing for less than $225-250.
if you look hard enough you can find a replacement screen+digitizer+entire front assembly for $100-150, then you can just fix the phone yourself. Thats what I did when my screen broke, and I have pretty much zero technical expertise and confidence fixing things. It really is that easy replacing the screen yourself if you buy the whole front assembly including digitizer.
Here's a bunch for $150 ---this is all you need to fix your busted screen!

I'm going on vacation tomorrow...will decide what to do when I get back.
I broke my inner screen (display), not the outer glass, somehow.
Walked into sprint repair store.
Gave them phone
Came back an hour later with it working perfectly and they only charged my $37.
Might be worth a try.
They had a defective GS3 laying around to swap out the screen or change out the guts of the phone. I visited a Sprint store and they said they could do it for $35, but put me on a waiting list until they get a returned GS3.
hmm got lucky I guess.
But thats what I'd do instead of taking a massive loss and selling it for $150 or something
If its only the glass and nor display you can buy a replacement for $40 bucks and change it yourself
