So Proud! - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

My 20yo son's iThing broke (screen) then got left in and subsequently stolen from a truckstop restroom in Mississippi at 4AM (road trip!) (iUsers will steal anything I guess . . .)
I gave him my old GS1 to use until one of our AT&T lines became eligible for an upgrade.
Today he went in to the AT&T store, and instead of the iWhatever or WinX OS he elected to get a new GS3 - I could not be more proud of him!!
</brag>

Haha. Gotta love being a techy.

I'm tearing up... So happy for both of you!

they grow up so fast lol

It's costs about $20 to replace the screen and glass on an iPhone 4/4s. You can then sell them for $300+.

I actually went into an apple store with my cousin for her cracked gorilla glass on her iPhone 4 right here in Manhattan beach,LA. They don't replace the iPhone 4 glass or screens anymore so its 150$ to upgrade to a 4s or do it yourself. Another way to sell their iPhone 4s's.

Sad to hear about that.
My black DIncII is in mint condition.
Got it back in Oct.
$280. without the data cable.
My wife might let her DInc1 go for $180.
It has a slight sctatch on the glass and the camera cover has asmall crack.
The batery door has a chiped corner but over all it's a clean machine.
I will try to follow this thread but PM me if you think you might want either.
Good luck.

I think you are right. The Bay has em for less than that.
But have you ever tried to pry an Android phone from a wife?
I offered her my Black DIncII. She frowned.
The price was her idea, she told me to sell my DIncII for less then hers.
I guess she just likes what she has.
I already gave her my 6900 for an alarm clock.
I have an old xv6800 that I could part with for cheap or a Razzle that never got out of the box. Was a standby phone for the daughter.
But I think knipp21 needs an Android phone to keep his girl happy.

Thanks. This is good to know in the future. Im past my 14 days already so I wasnt able to add Tmo insurance but $177 isnt bad at all. But I assume you have to send it in and I wonder how long that would take. That's the only drawback but still better non the less. Did you call samsung support or did you chat with them? Also Tmo will cover software issues for 1 year for free but you just have to pay $20 to get a replacement, and after you get a replacement they will ask if you want to add insurance. Once you have tmo insurance then its $5 for software issues and $130 for physical damage as that goes through Asurion and not Tmobile technically. So thats another route if you didnt get it within 14 days of your contract. I Know its too late now but once your phone is fixed you have that option still.
I'm thinking about going through Squaretrade insurance too but you also have to send them the phone for repair. Its avg about $5 a month with their 2 yr insurance plan. But I dont recall if there's a certain period that you have to apply. It might be 30 days within your contract. I have to double check.
Here's the one for squaretrade with $99 deductible

when they replace the screen they replace the benzel too to probably your repaired phone won't show any signs of repair.

Not at all if it is just screen damage which u say it is then they are literally going to unscrew the screws on back take the board out replace screen put motherboard back in and that's that. I'll tell u what let them do it. There is a little more involved to it then that won't get into detail but I did two friends screens and the one kid wanted the black face or the dark face(screen that's on pebble blue) on his white gs3 and it was a *****. Taking the board camera, connectors all that was easy....its the glue that holds the screen to the actual housing that is hard to get off. And u have to get it all off for screen to sit in there nicely anyways he liked the job I did it actually looked cool minus the white home button. Anyways good luck send it to Samsung now but after go with ensquared or squaretrade

Hi,
What about buying the screen from ebay and trying to replace it yourself? It might be a little complicated and hard without having proper skills but you can try it out.
I have owned an iphone 3gs in a past and once when I cracked the screen I replaced it myself saving lots of money. It worked just fine. You can give it a try but I'm not really sure how hard it is on samsung.
And yeah, it was a digitized, and a display itself

If you sell it to someone on Craigslist be sure to have them meet you in a corporate T-Mobile store to do the transaction, less chance of getting robbed and you can have it transferred to their account so they don't have to worry about being scammed.

Actually this is more realistic. For 550 you can get a brand new sgs3 off T-Mobile website off contract. When I got my s2 off Craigslist I paid 270 and it was in perfect condition. So I'd say 350 but negotiable.

Cracked Screen

I apologize if this is in the wrong section, I didn't know whether or not it belonged in the Q&A section since it's not a problem with the actual phone.
Anyways, I have dropped my old electronics countless times and never suffered the consequence of having a cracked screen due to either having a case on or just complete luck. I dropped my GS4 yesterday (on my birthday too ) and of course...the screen ended up cracking. I had been waiting for my case to arrive and of course, it arrived when I got home later that day. The reason I'm posting this is because I would like to ask for help such as your opinions on what to do or how I could fix it in the cheapest way possible. I am a student in high school without a job so coming up with around $200-300 is something that would take months to do. Can any of you guys help or give me advice on what to do because I've never dealt with repairing or dealing with a cracked screen before. Thanks in advance!

Just do a claim in which case, pay the $100 deductible, get it fixed right while maintaining warranty coverage, no sense trying to fix it yourself, messing it up and loosing any coverage you currently have just to save ~50 bucks on a $650 phone ....

I went to TMobile yesterday and they directed me towards Asurion and I filed a claim which they should reply to by today. However, I did some poking around on the Asurion website and saw that the deductible was $175 for the GS4 which is pretty steep for me.
not bad considering the first google search I found for a screen (granted its for the international version) is ~270, http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-sam...nd-digitizer-assembly-with-front-housing.html
and $350 at iFixandrepair

Sorry but your cheapest route is to take the deductible hit. Yes you can possibly "defuse" the digitizer/glass/screen, but chances are it will break....take it to a local store and get a quote for the fixing, and take the best option. I would say save slightly and get it fixed via insurance, as it will likely be the cheapest, and best for the end result (IE you dont break warranty / insurance coverage by getting the repair done yourself). Just my 2 cents.
