Hi,
Its unhappy to me, my Note is just fall down from table, screen glass has break, the phone is still work as normal.
Im finding a screen replacement on eBay, price is expensive from 250 to 300$.
I dont know is need to buy glass together digiter or not. if only glass maybe cheaper, and where i can find it.
Hi,
sorry to hear that you have broken your Note. Unfortunately it's not possible to replace the glass only. You need to purchase the complete glass/digitizer/AMOLED assembly.

He said he found the digitizer/glass/assembly on ebay. The price is about 250 USD.

If the Note is put together like the SGS2 was, buy everything assembled already. Dont buy just the digitizer, it will cause you massive headaches. You can try cnn.cn
250$ is not bad for a newly released phone at all. Makes me feel better about not using a case/screen protector.

Yes, the same answer today from local Samsung service, and price is about 280$
Im going to replace this and never believe about unbrokable gorilla glass again.
Take care with a Note and dont give it other one to try it, just because the Note is big upnormal smartphone, if not daily user may be broken it.

Hello all!
Sorry for my english, not that god...
If is true or not i dont know, but i have heard complains from manny people about this so caled Gorilla glass. As it turns out on Galaxy Note is very likely some new glass and not Gorilla glass.
Someone heard something simmilar?
So my phone fell out of my hands today onto my hardwood floor and the screen shattered. Of course since it was my fault I had to file a claim with my favorite company of all time [/sarcasm], Asurion. Well I filed my claim and was informed that I will be receiving a refurb. Joy of joys.
Now, the question is, the screen is shattered but I'm fairly certain that download mode can still be accessed and I do believe my counter is at 1. Is that going to void my insurance? Does anyone know? If it does, I have 15 days to figure out how to get the counter reset. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance all!
insurance doesn't care if its rooted . You filed because its damaged. Insurance covers anything not covered in warranty.

I have GMG insurance and i believe if you request a brand new phone, you get one.
Oh thats good to know. UNfortunately here in the states Asurion only gives you what they want. So I have no hope of getting a brand new phone even if I request one. They'll just tell me to be happy with what I have an shut the hell up. I am glad to know that I'm safe even though I am rooted. Makes me feel a little better. My current SGS2 is a beast and seeing as others have had problems that I NEVER had with my GS2 I really hope the new one I get is just as good. I'm praying hard lol.
if it's just the screen that is dead
you can always buy a replacement screen and fix it on your own, or some friend that is more tech handy man

The only thing is the replacements are not AMOLED. They are LCD replacements. I've looked up the OEM version before and it'll cost you up to $500 for AMOLED.

@AllGamer: I thought about going that route. But I just feel like the phone would never be the same. Instead I'll pray that the QC Goblins at Asurion are good at what they do.
Maybe I'm just naive!
Our screen is that easy to break? I have the D30 case but i'm still concerned this could happen. Thought the screen was built with gorilla glass?
I think most people here hate cases including my self but I still wear one,this accidents always happen to everyone so why would people risk destroying a 550 dollar phone?
Dude that sucks! Gorilla glass even has a weakness. I've dropped mine once and got lucky but still left a nice little gash in the upper right corner.
That's what we have insurance for. I couldn't imagine not insuring this 500 dollar device.

This place lists as OEM, even if it is listed at LCD. OEM is OEM as far as I know. If it's not then it's false advertisement.
i can't say for sure, but a screen protector + a D3O case makes a pretty good formula
it saved my T989 twice on what would have been 2 fatal accidents
you can find both of my old topics in General
one was face down drop
the other was submerged in water
.../AG ***knocks on wood*** and hopes this doesn't jinx it the 3rd time
Gorilla Glass makes it more likely that the phone will shatter when dropped. Gorilla glass works because it hardens the screen to protect against scratches. The downside is the process that hardens the glass makes it cracking and shattering more likely
Hey OP. just wondering, how much did they charge you for the refurb replacement?
thanks in advance!

These ads are not written by tech people. It is physically impossible to fit an lcd screen and the needed digitizer into the same space as the amoled screen. It just won't work. They are thicker and need a back light, and that's just the panel. If it fits it is amoled. If it says Samsung on the back of the panel it is probably oem. I don't know if these are being counterfeited yet. It a very involved process to make the displays and probably not profitable to make fakes... at least ones that work.

Its still less than $350-450, which is what they sell for on the streets and you don't know what exactly you're getting either.

Hey guys,
Sorry I didn't get back to the forums yesterday. 130 is correct. I just received the phone 10 minutes ago. Will update everyone on the quality soon. So far my only gripe is that they didn't cover the camera with lens tape. BUt I don't see any scratches.

$130 deductible? How much is the monthly insurance payment?
Hoping to hear from people who have dealt with this before. Cracked my screen pretty badly but luckily (relatively...) it still works as far as i know. I don't have insurance and while I'm gonna deal with it for now I'd eventually like to get it replaced, fixed, or upgrade to a new phone. What are ballpark figures for cost considering my contract isn't up for another year and a half and i don't have insurance? What would you do if you were in my situation?

Ultimately i can't blame anything but my own carelessness. Long story short i accidentally crushed it between some heavy metal hinges on a forklift...the gorilla glass didn't stand a chance.

my advice: get it fixed
newalker91 said:
Sprint will not repair the screen, so that's not an option. Replacing the phone would be around $250 cheapest for a used device, $550 for a retail price device. Sending it in to a 3rd party repair company would cost you the $150 for the screen plus hourly labor, making it closer to $200. Factor in shipping cost and you may as well buy a phone.
Replacing the screen is easy. Undo the 6 philips head screws in the back housing, work a thin plastic wedge around the rim and pop the housing off. Undo the two screws on the board, unclip the ribbon cables, reverse the process onto the new screen. Takes about 15 minutes if you haven't done it before.

If you do find just the glass they don't seal right then they look worse than a cracked screen.
Why not just add insurance and get it fixed that way

I have a brand new white LCD for epic touch if you want it, I don't need it . Same thing as what thy linked on eBay. Pretty simple to assemble too. I'd sell it to ya way cheaper.

Sprint won't allow that. If that were the case everybody would be doing that.
If I were you I would buy dude's screen who is posted above this post and after that I would go on YouTube to see if I could find a video on how to assemble or replace the Epic touch's screen. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.
If the Insurance was added the best you could do is process and insurance claim and get a refurbished phone for $100.
Changing out the screen is pretty simple. Just make sure you watch the camera connection at the top and the one at the bottom of the board. Every DIYer seems to miss those two.
It's very unfortunate that our assemblies cost so much, when the iphone assembly is like 40 bucks and to get it installed will run about 90 if you don't do it yourself. Our phone seriously needs cheaper replacement parts.

That would be awesome! Just PM'ed you
You can search on Craigslist and eBay for phones with bad esn. And simply make one working out of two.
You can ask on forums for people who bricked their phones beyond returning point and sprint refuses to help them.
But of the guy above gives you a good deal. Take it.

Have you actually had Sprint tell you no? Have you actually gone into a corporate store and asked?
I ask because they replaced my cracked screen on my HTC EVO 4G a few months back, no questions asked, totally free.

Yes, I went in the day it happened and asked if they could replace it or what my options were. Other than buying a new phone for retail price, they said they couldn't do anything and didn't even do the repairs themselves. They just referred me to World of Wireless (I called them and they were charging $250 for the 'custom order' repair they'd have to do).
Buy a new one off Amazon for $8.00 and install it yourself. It take about a half hour and save a bunch of money

I'm interested in this as well, my boss dropped his week old GS3 and cracked the screen so I need to replace it for him.
I'd say that's a good price for what I've been seeing. But are you sure you're looking at an s3 LCD replacement and not the s2?

Yeah I cracked mine a few months back.
Tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890708 to change the glass and ended up accidentally tearing off the digitizer and basically cooking it.
Sent it to Samsung, $180 and 8 days later they sent it back good as new. New glass, digitizer, screen AND bezel (had a slight crack in it). Definitely the route I'd recommend going.

That's pretty good deal when you must replace digitizer. All I see on ebay (at least fro Verizon phones) is $200 minimum. Here you will not only get this thing professionally replaced, but also not have to do it yourself, and end up paying less!!!
I wish I was aware of this option before I went about ordering digitizers on ebay, and to add insult to injury ended up ordering a wrong one
Get one with he home button on it. That means you will get one with the bezel which means much easier install. Just unscrew and replace. Ones without bezel are pretty tedious as you need your old bezel.

I'll be calling samsung tonight to get a quote but for my and future screen breaker's info please answer this:
On ebay you can see pics of the back of the assembly showing i535 or i710 or i9300
is there actually a difference in these? some sellers say that a i9300 lcd will only fit the i9300 not the i535 or i710
is this true or are they all misinformed? i'm sure samsung will say there's a difference but has anyone actually replaced their assembly with a different model?
UPDATE** when i talked to samsung i learned the answer to my question!
the LCD is the same across all platforms, glass too.
the frame however varies. i also read about someone using a different frame than what their carrier used, he had to mickey mouse the whole thing, said he couldnt use his home button, and to use the lock/ power button he had to roll up tape and shove it in... all in all the whole thing was rattley and far from factory.

There are a lot of factors that can apply when selling damaged items. For example, if any of the internals are salvageable or if the device is able to boot. Anyway, from my research on sold items on ebay the normal (grey) Galaxy Nexus - "sold for parts" can be as little as $30 and as high as $130. In your case most buyers would want the body to be in perfect condition so that they can do a body swap with their grey colored ones or a screen swap. Considering the fact that ones that work are selling for $275-$399 I believe you could get to $150 if you tried. Just my opinion though. I cannot say for a fact you will get that much. It all depends if the market is there. You can always set a reserve on ebay so if bidders don't bid up to or past the reserve then the item doesn't sell. Just an idea. Good luck!
