Yeah they charged me 35 I think. And at the time I didn't have insurance.

Had the same issue like 2 weeks ago and was told they don't do that anymore.
Good luck.

last time I visited them for this reason, I believe that they said that they don't repair cracks larger than an inch.

You could try a NON corporate sprint repair center. Most of the ones I've ever been to will do it and sometimes free. In my case they just write a note saying the something else was defective and replace the screen (or phone). Most times if they can get the money from sprint they'll do anything

Will sprint buff out scratche's?

Hi everyone well a while ago I put a huge scratch in my "chimp" glass haha and I'm sick off looking at it will sprint. Buff out the scratches I'm fully covered for cosmetic damage and nuclear war haha but does anyone think sprint wud buff out the scratch or shud I just crack the screen and get a new replacement screen?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
How deep/ large is the scratch? Last time I went there I think they said they don't fix scratches larger than an inch. The only thing they did was hand over the asurion insurance business card and told me to call them to just get a replacement phone since I had insurance for the thing

My scratch is circual and spans the entire screen its deep enough for me to feel it with my finger (not nail)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yeah your probably going to have to get a replacement phone from the insurance company.

That's like saying how can I reverse time, it ain't going to happen. I've even messed up during ODIN still got nothing.

It is very difficult to brick this phone although travismoreno seems to be good at it. he bricked quite a few with bad cables during Odin. I have had Odin freeze many time especially trying to make an EL30 prerooted tar ( didn't happen). And no brick.

So you want to fully brick your Epic?
If so use odin as if your flashing a modem and check repartition. It should be bricked after that.

Just go start a claim and before it processes it'll show you what they'll send out and just cancel it at that point
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Yea they're right, asurion doesn't care if its stock, rooted or covered in piss, they'll replace it care free as long as you pay the $100

they don't care if its rooted. This is not a manufacturers warranty, its a 3rd party private insurance. They insure hardware, not software

Was it new in the box... ie, came in a retail box with battery, USB cable and charger. Or was it a refurbished device and came with out a battery and cables.

Screen help

Well I just got this s3 and cracked the screen already. I have the insurance so if I go to Sprint will the fix it? Give me new one? How much$$? Thanks
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Sprint will probably fix it
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
I don't think they do repairs so they go through the insurance (asurion).
You pay a deductible ($150)
Then they send you a phone.
Since the s3 is new, I think they'll send you a new one, rather than a refurb.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Dam 150 and you have to wait that sucks. O well on my way to see what they say.

I work for sprint and some repair store will fix it but some would cause of the glass its high priced and hard to put on ... so they do t want to risk damaging the phone .. best of to get a replacement.. however it will be refurbished.which doesn't mean its bad. good luck

You don't want a conspiracy to commit a felony charge?? But they're sooo fun!
Of course they know.... Insurance company are in this to make money. Don't you think they spent millions of dollars of research to minimize fraud?

To claim ur phone you need to send them receipt of your purchase with imei number or box so there is no way you can do it.

I work for T-Mobile,
Just lending my opinion, even though you might be able to select a different device online,
the claim still has to be reviewed before it is finalized. They will check the account with the current IMEI
in use, will identify it as a galaxy S3. Even if it slips through...
When you make a claim for damage, they send you a replacement for a $130 deductible, and expect
you to send your device back with the prepaid label they will include.
And they do state that they take frauding very seriously and prosecute to the maximum extent of the law.
All you have to do is write note 2 on it with a sharpie before you send it in.

Anyone have any idea as to where I can purchase a power bottom for my LG Optimus G? Mine feel off when I did a battery pull a few days ago and haven't found it ever since lol. I've tried eBay and amazon...no dice. Any suggestions?

Try a local Sprint store.

It would have to be a repair center Sprint store that happens to have a bad LGOG that they haven't sent back yet.
DON'T VACUUM! It's there...somewhere

Hey, when I use to fix watches we dropped stuff from time to time. The best thing you can do is sweep the room into a dust pan. Then sift through the contents.

I'll try those ideas guys and I'd that fails I'll hit up a sprint shop and hope for the best lol

This. And hopefully you have TEP, or they may charge you $35 for the repair IF they even have a part to harvest.

If the area you dropped it on was carpeted take a strip of duct tape and loop it around inside out so the sticky side with the glue is on the outside. Roll the tape all over the floor and hope something sticks.
If you can't find it, try going to a non corporate sprint store and see if they can help. At my store, they know the mods I do on my phones, so they will usually help me out if I need a small part.
