My father-in-law recently bought an S3 and his screen cracked in the corner. He called it in and they said that they would replace it for him for $XX, and that he didn't need to send in the broke one. This is what he told me the insurance people said to him mind you, I've never heard of anything like that before but who knows. The phone still works perfectly but the cracked screen is an eye sore for such a great looking phone.
I want to see if he will sell me his screen cracked phone but that's only if I'm able to get it fixed. So........ [Q] Is there anywhere to send the phone in to get a new screen? And if so.... Does anyone know around how much it'll run?
I appreciate any legitimate info anyone can give me.
I know the iphone 4s the screens were $100 to get fixed. So at least twice that.

what they do is send you a replacement and in the same box you place your old one. if not they will give you information on what store or samsung place to go where they will fix it for you in about 15 min. like actually replace the screen only. since it is insured most of it will be covered except for about 100$ roughly.

Does anyone know anywhere in london, UK to get a new screen fitted.
I dropped my htc desire hd yesterday and its cracked the screen, there is no ink on the screen and everything is working fine still, so its just the first piece of glass thats broke.
so what exactly do i need to get fixed, i see alot of people mentioning ameled or something like that, do i need to get that replaced as well, or can i just buy the glass myself and fix it myself?
i've checked a few htc repair centres online and they all want between £60 - £90 to fix it, but im sure i can do it myself with the right equipment.
For anyone that knows about this kind of process what would be best for me to get? knowing i have never done a repair myself, im not stupid and can follow instructions well but just wondered would be better for me to get???

this is the full thing so i'll need to just get the phone apart and then install the part.
or

which means i'll need to get deeper into the phone and remove things ect ect.
what do you think guys?
someone must know about this?
surely im not the only numpty to drop my phone
Get the one in the first link as changing the digitizer only is a REAL BALL ACHE. The replacement of the lcd and digitizer together as one part is pretty straight forward. Search "htc desire hd screen replacement" in YouTube and you'll find lots of tutorials. I suggest watching a few of them before any attempts. Good luck.

Cheers for the reply, but this morning i decided to pay to have it repaired rather than risk messing it all up myself, i found a htc repair centre that will fix it and return it for £44.99p
so im over the moon with that price, i thought i'd need to pay around the £80-£90.
so anyone else that has a cracked screen, i suggest calling these guys, their very helpful over the phone.
I cant review how good their service is as i have yet to send them the phone,
but so far, so good.
here is the site...

so i got a s2 with a bad lcd screen, it leaked. the phone is like a week old with no insurance and im sure warranty wont cover this.
anyhow, i can't seem to find the replacement for the tmobile version, only for the international.
can they be cross-used?
anyhow, does anyone knows where to get it? can't seem to find the right one on ebay or anywhere else for that matter.
any help would really be appreciated.

You might be out of luck on this one. The screen is fused to the digitizer and the screen is an AMOLED screen which is not common in aftermarket and as far as i know is proprietary to samsung .

i found that is the whole front housing and lcd/digitizer.
i got the phone for free, and i was thinking on replacing my really beat up sensation with it... for 150 bucks sounds ok, but, it's from china, i dont like that :/
edit: i couldn't find a thread on the forums, but, here is a place where to get the full front off the device, which should make the whole fixing easy:

Hey guys!
On friday afternoon, i believe i killed my 3 month old baby. I got furious at something, and threw the phone onto my desk (I'm 190cm 6'3, desk is about 70cm above ground, you do the maths) and when i picked the phone up...
It looked fine.
I tried unlocking it, nothing would come up other than a black screen lighting up, but the sounds touch etc it works fine. Even the digitizer seems fine, odd enough.
So practically the inner LCD is dead, and unfortunately since i bought the device from US and went back to my homecountry, that screen replacement thing doesnt work out for me. Also unfortunately HTC is a complete asshat and for a reason no one knows, decided to not make any authorized services in the country, and i dont want to trust some dude downtown which can "fix my phone for 450tl" (thats a big deal of money where the minimum wage is 900tl per month) that doesnt even have a store but a stand.
Since then im using my old S3, which shared the same faith; furious throws ended up with inner lcd being cracked. Got it replaced from dealer, but ever since its 3G module does not work and oddly enough the guys there were like "your phone was rooted its out of warranty if anything relating mobo happens" before even accepting payment; 3 days later hte phone started acting up and 3G failed.
Anyway to the actual question, how hard are these screens to change? Also, any good sellers on fleabay? I talked with a few phone guys I know and they agreed to change it if i provide the screen, but honestly i dont know what to do, to sell this phone and get an iPhone (or a S5 because waterproof) or to somehow get this repaired? I'm fairly pissed off that i cant get a damn phone repaired which is also sold and imported into the country...
Also kinda unrelated but might anyone know why the 3G doesnt work? I've since then unrooted the phone and reverted back to stock rom but its still not working...
Maybe this will get you an idea: http://goo.gl/nBvaLz
Never done it myself tho with an m8. My DHD and OneX have been fully disassembled without problems tho to replace almost everything. [emoji41]
Look for disassembly videos online and order a new screen\digitizer assembly form ebay (dont attempt to separate the glass from the screen).
It takes patience and some steady hands, but it is possible to change the assembly.

The M8 has a repairability score of 2/10. I bent my back cover, and many cell repair shops refused to replace it.
You don't want to take this on by yourself. Check out the tear down at ifixit.com.
Just did the work on a M7, it should not be all that different. Though, I have not tried it myself on my M8.

Lol, you can leave it be and just buy a new one as well, yeah. The easy way....
imo 2/10 means it's repairable (my glass is half full). I would look for a cheap dead-mobo or a hard-bricked phone (with a working screen , that is)

As long as you cant use it, why not try?

And the next time a girl breaks up with you - don't take it out at you phone, just hit a pillow.
I'm going to make the hotspot stay open 24/7, because S3 doesnt have mobile network, and since I'm paying why not actually use it?
Also, odd enough one service quoted me 330TL while another said 450TL (both in far away cities) when one in my city asked 400TL...
Now before everyone gets on my case about not having a case (heh), this is the first phone I have had that has ever spider cracked on me since owning a Android Phone. I always have a screen protector on so it's never been a problem.
My concern right now, I am going into to T-Mobile here in a couple hours when they open and going to get a new phone. What are the chances they try to offer me a refurbished phone or I just get a new one?
Secondly, how would I go about transferring everything over to the new phone? Just use the Samsung App?
Thanks in advance guys!
How are you going to get them to replace a phone that you dropped in the first place? Wouldn't that be an insurance replacement that wouldn't be handled by T-Mobile? Please don't take offense to this I'm just asking. I don't know your exact situation but if you are wanting to replace it because you shattered the glass or whatever than that would be done through insurance and that would be a refurbished phone.

No worries! Considering I bought a new phone and it's like 3 months old, I should get a new phone. That's the logic I'm going by.
Looks like it will be cheaper to just replace the back side for $60 then to potentially get a refurb for $200....
Hi, on Friday 9/23/16 my friend in school thought it was a great idea to play a joke one me and steal my phone and run away with it so I could chase him around for it to make him look "funny."
In the process while he was running he dropped my OP3 which I got 2 weeks before and the screen is shattered. Now the device still functions but I just can't deal with a broken screen especially when I recently got the device. My friend is paying me back but what is my best option? Get the screen repaired? Get a new OP3? I honestly don't know.
If you could help me out that would be great.
Thanks
I can't post a picture as I have only made 1 - 2 posts on here, if there is any was I can post a picture let me know.
Get a new friend, contact oneplus and they will fix it, or try to see if any local shops can fix it, it seemed pretty easy to take apart
Or you can sell it to me ?
