Heres a link... Actually it looks like the OG Epic, but the description says E4GT

I'd check with your local sprint repair center. Sometimes they will sell parts or know who will sell them.

i just replaced my scree/digitizer last weekend. they're typically pretty expensive like previous posts have linked to, unless you get them on ebay. its really just about getting lucky on the timing - i got one for $65 shipped, but the cheap ones i found last week ended already.
you could try your luck waiting for an other surge of deals in a week or two, but here are a couple i found ending soon

i suggest you ask as many questions until your comfortable so if anything goes wrong with the product you have the sellers words that it should be functioning and in good condition and you could get ur money back even if the seller asks for no returns
and just to be safe, i'll refer you to this so you have an idea of what ur doing:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Epic-4G-Touch-Teardown/6481/1
and, of course be gentle ESPECIALLY with the screen/digitizer. i was too rough on my original screen so glass shards got into the screen and murdered it, but now its good as gold. i would have made a video of taking it apart and putting it back together but i dont have a camera other than my E4GT

[Q] Looking to buy a FFC for my vibrant

Anybody selling these? All of the ones I've seen so far seem to have been claimed already
If not, where's the best place to get one? I'd like to get in within the next two weeks since I'm going on vacation, but I can't wait if needed
I know E-Bay has them and possibly other stores onlines, but not sure if they can get it to you within 2 weeks, but you could try
I just looked on Ebay. All of them seem to be shipping from Hong Kong and wont get here until April
http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog
Look under products section...
He also has a great video tutorial
on how to install the ffc

I bought one from Josh, super fast shipping.
Actually he was just putting "out of stock" on the revision 1 cameras when I placed the order.
He sent me the revision 2 cameras which do not have the binding issues coming with rev 1.
I installed it in my Vibrant and it works great!
Definitely recommend it!
You can find on mobiletechvideos.com
Thanks guys. I just placed an order for the FFC
I'm super excited!
Thanks again
you can get them from Globaldirectparts.com
For the time being...is Axura the only rom that works with this? That's what his video said anyway...I'd love to use it with Trigger.
NVM, found my answer.

They are cheaper because they come from Hong Kong, and it takes about 3-4wks for delivery. So your paying almost double to have it in a few days.
Yeah seen the mobile tech one looking to buy...

I have a v1 I'll be looking to sell soon (aka whenever I get around to it). Its not installed and packaged in its bubble wrap.
Anyone can pm me if interested. Probably looking about $15-20.

Definitly go with Josh at MobileTech videos. If you go through anyone else you may have to buy in bulk and wait up to a week. I ordered mine on Monday and received it Wednesday. If you're scared to install it then he can do it for you (for an extra fee of course). Can't get that through ebay or anywhere else.

Cracked screen

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

Anyone sell their 3D on craigslist to get this phone?

I'm wondering how much you sold it for and how long it took to sell. I see a buttload of them on craigslist in my area. I don't want to mark it rediculously low but I certainly don't want to make it too high to move.
I was going to list my Droid Charge, but Sprint offered me $185 trade in, so I took it. Saved me the hassle of selling it, and almost paid for my wife's E4GT.

Maybe that's because it doesn't look like an actual picture and condition of your phone. Try posting a more ordinary pic. People get scared by that extravagance attempted stuff. They think it's a scam. Oh and leave all the rooted and custom kernel talk out of it. Most people have no idea about that stuff.

For that price you basically robbed yourself LOL
just fyi for some people that sell on craigslist. Make sure your ad goes "live", meaning your ad actually shows up in search results.
Craigslist has this anti spam filter that says your ad is posted but never shows up in search results therefore no one can see it unless you give them the ad link. Had a problem with this when I tried to sell my evo 4g. Posted like 3 times and finally the last ad went live.
http://reviews411.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/craigslist-ad-not-showing-up-its-called-ad-ghosting/
I first posted it for $350. No bites. Then $325, still not bites. $300, nothing. $275, about 5 people interested and sold it the next day.
I currently have both my OG Epic and my EVO 3d and still no bites. I so want this phone.
Put it up for $250 and I sold it the next day. There were a lot up for 300 so I went for the big undercut to move it before Friday.

Going out of business sale!!!!

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.

$10 for a battery cover? Are you serious?

Cracked case

Did some one else also got their phone cracked?
I babied it since I bought, not even a minute scratch, every thing pristine. Called customer service, they claim any physical damage is not covered under warranty.:crying: Even sent them links and posting full of same problem.
NEVER going to buy any Samsung products.
mind posting a link to this cracked case?
The top left corner of the back has a nice crack, developed in a week because of their plastic. I just went on eBay and got another one for cheap. Never dropped it either but oh well, at least the screen is in tact

Mine too. I told Samsung about it just to let them know about poor build quality, they kept trying to get me to send it back to them so they could rape me on fixing it no matter how many times I told them that I didn't care about the crack I was just letting them know that I was disappointed in the quality. I think I am done buying samsungs, I will go with Google branded devices from now on.

I was a die hard Samsung person until my s3 I have a Samsung fridge, 2 Samsung TVs, 2 captivates, a blue ray player, a focus 2, a Bluetooth earpiece, and I recommended Samsung to everyone. I am quite disapointed in the way they handled my advice, I wasn't asking for service or a replacement, I was just letting them know I was not happy with the quality of my device. So I think I am done with Samsung for a while, I love my nexus 7 so I will be going Google for the time being.

NEVER!!!
I had their plasma, paid ridiculous high price 11 years ago, still going very strong. Windows OS Focus phone, great quality. But now after knowing their problem, how they treat me. I will even persuade others from buying their products.:crying:
Lol I thought the whole time the cracks were part of the bezel hahaha I have 4 of them one in each corner. What a coincidence lol but yeah they don't bother me. I always have my phone in a case, but yeah I totally thought it was part of the design and I noticed the bezel is all uneven around the screen... Some gaps bigger than others... Samsung always has issues on their bezels.... The Note was the worst. Not OCD about it. But I did notice it

I used to baby my phone, but I couldn't find a good screen protector that worked with my case.
I love using the matte-finished screen protectors that are reusable (I'm using the Mochi brand). I'm still very careful about my phone, though.
Noticed a fresh crack appeared in bottom, on top of USB. Looks like whole bezel will fall apart.
That sucks. So far, no scratches after about 8 months use. Good to be on the lookout for them though!
