Dropped my phone. Cracked my screen.

Today was real sad for me... when I was getting out of my car, I accidentally dropped my phone on the concrete.
The phone still functions fine. But because it dropped screen flat down, the bottom part of my screen is crack.
Also there's a crack going through about halfway from the left bottom corner to the mid-right part.
Is there anyway to fix this? With an iPhone, i have a friend who switches the glass on the front/back.
Is this possible for the galaxy nexus screen?? Please help.
here are photos... this is a real quick photo i took with my macbook because i do not have access to any other camera right now.
more pics coming soon

Wouldn't your warranty cover this? would you be able to replace it yourself?

Although this is a verizon galaxy nexus, i did not buy it from verizon so they wouldn't have me under warranty right?

only insurance would cover this, verizon would not cover it even if you bought it from them

is there anywhere i can go and repair it for a cost?
or is the only way to fix it by buying a separate screen and replacing it myself?
I really plan on using this phone for a long time so i am willing to pay a lot to fix this screen.

I read on the web that its possible, but alot more difficult than othwr phones. Best of luck to you!

I don't know but maybe try calling Samsung they might charge a fee and do it for you?
Worth a shot I guess.

No case or any protection?
Swyped from my Galaxy Nexus

Wow, how sensitive are these screens?? I can't remember seeing so many reports of damaged displays.

Lol? I see way more on Iphone forums. About the same amount on other Android forums. You drop it face down on concrete the right way... What good screen will be able to take that?

No, I get that, but I've been around xda and other forums for a while, can't remember seeing this many on a device, albeit I've never had a device this popular. Maybe its the sheer number of people who own the GN. Even when I was shopping around I saw multiple devices with hairline scratches on the screen. The screen on this device gets alot of attention, I remember the uproar when Samsung said the device didn't use guerrilla glass.

Back in the day, when I broke my iphone screen, I was able to find a guy that would repair it for 60$ on Craigs list. Try and search for someone there.

I found a local cell phone shop that quoted me $220. Find one of those and call. But I couldn't fork out that kinda cash

Wow, what was the height of the drop? I'm worried this could happen to me because I love having my phones naked.

It was about 2.5 feet?
Not so high but screen cracked...

I agree with you, cases and protection just take away from the device but sadly this is a risk. Did you by any chance buy it with a Visa card that may offer automatic protection from loss, damage or theft? My card covers me for the first 90 days.

Last I checked you could get the whole display assembly on eBay for ~$250

Im really in need of the att Blue Back cover

If anybody here don't need the blue att back over please sell it to me. I really need one for returning the phone since mine was broken. give me an offer.

You can get them from ebay or even Amazon I think.

I've got a carbon fiber one that was shipped to me with the blue trim on the sides. I need a white so this one is just siting here. $10 shipped in the US if interested. Paid $15 for it. Message me for pics if your interested. Just says Galaxy S III on the back in the carbon weave.

almost stock white gnex

got the white housing for the gnex and decide to buy the white matte screen protector
http://www.chinagadgetland.com/middle-cover-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250-white-p-10006362.html
housing from chinabudgetland.com cost $29.50. Everything was great and was easy to install. Only con is that it doesn't come with white button. But i manage to get a huge discount from the owner and ended up paying only $17.50 for the housing and shipping with tracking number. Came in every nice packing and lots of bubble wrap.

the Gnex color screen protector cost $8.88 with free shipping took only 8 day to ship from south korea. Seller sold 35 so i taught it was a trusted seller. Everything was great except the fact that it abit smaller that the screen. But it look pretty nice.

lolwut? of course Jelly Bean has LED notification, I'm using it.
If only there was a way of making sure that the LED shines through the screen protector I'd buy it.

Mine jb doesn't have notification light. I got the paid lightflow app and it doesn't turn on when there a notification. Just holepunch it

But that would defeat the purpose of a all white front face

Than the only way to get white is to buy a stock white

They sell them for the Nexus? Link ? I'm tempted at the thought of an all white phone.

I won't even lie, I'm jelly. Sexy phone man! I would do it but I can't justify spending around 40 dollars to just change it to white.

There is a website deciding whether or not to make white digitizer.

Yeah I figured he was just posting without knowing for sure. I dont think they will ever make a white digitizer as the next model is just around the corner and since its so difficult to replace just the digitizer without ruining the lcd.

The amoled is fused to the glass so its impossible to replace the glass without also replacing the amoled, which is why there are no third party digitizers.
No I really wish they made a white digitizer. I would make a full white gnex if they did.
Also, a white digitizer for the dinc would be nice

They r doing a survey if people are interested in paying 250+ for a white digitizer

Thanks for the pics but I dont think there ever will be a white digitizer. The market is so small for that plus it would have to come with a very expensive lcd screen that just isnt cost feasable. I cant find any surveys but a $250 digitizer is just crazy when a brand new phone costs 350+tax, with the costs surely to drop as time passes. Stickers are our only hope until Fantom decides to release a white glass screen protector which I dont think is very likely. Istyles and skinit are 2 other websites that sell custom vinyl stickers and attached a couple of pics that I found from other threads. A black front on top of an all white body isnt too bad though and have thought about ordering vinyl stickers but am sure I will just rip them off after a day or two of having it on.

[Q] cracked screen

so i was sitting down on a patio chair in my backyard. the S3 in all its sleek sexiness, slips out of my pockets, falls a mere 4 inches. i pick it up, praying that it does not have a crack. god just wasn't listening this day. it just wasn't in the cards. :crying:
i don't have a warranty and sprint said they cant do anything for me. i just figured i can do it myself. im not a novice when taking apart phones and fixing them. as sick as it sounds, i actually love doing it.
my big question is; are there any black front glass panels with the Samsung logo on them. im going to change the back battery cover as well and have a totally unique S3. this makes me happy.
so do you guys know of any reputable sites to where i can get a quality front panel with glass, in black?
thanks a bunch

or really any other color than red, cobalt and while
:laugh:

So nothing huh?

how much would you part with it for?

Official Samsung colored screen protector

Hi.
In the past I read on this forum about some Mercury colored screen protectors for S3. And not only Mercury..you talked also about other brands. If you don't know Samsung now sell original colored screen protectors! They are way better than other ones. You can see Samsung logo, colors and quality of the screen are exactly the same as without this protector. I highly recomand it!
