Replacement battery cover

I am looking for a replacement black evo 4G battery cover. Who can help? PM me.

Go to your nearest Sprint Store and ask for one. I went in to try to purchase one, and they just gave me one.

They said they don't have them. Can anyone help?

This may help, but it's a bit on the steep side.

Thanks. Yikes that is pricey especially since someone said they got it for free. I will try again tomorrow at some other stores and post my findings. Still any other help would be great.

[Q] Anybody else mad about wireless charging?

Ok I called powermat and asked about wireless charging for the Dinc, they had the balls to tell me that they had no plans to make a kit for the Dinc! I know that Duracell makes the mygrid and I have heard of people using the Droid charger on the Dinc, wanted to know if anybody on here has or if anybody else feels like me..

It sucks but its not a popular enough phone for them... He was just being honest instead of giving a round about answer
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

I'm not sureifnot popular enough is the right phrase. As this phone was impossible to get for fivemonths its probably a little behind on accessories like this.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Well i mean the phone was massively popular for a bit then a lot of people myself included just didnt wanna wait to get the phone and i know a bunch of my friends got other droids instead.

lol and well this is the exact reason we don't have any nice accessories which is very unfortunate....but it's stupid cuz I'd absolutely love this
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Easy answer: Supply and demand.

I like the idea of wireless charging but I don't like having to switch cases every time.

I'm guessing it wouldn't be exceptionally durable. I use a Case-mate Tough Case because I'm so careless.

Before you do that, it's probably a good idea to take it apart and find out which size connector cable your screen has. The Evo two types, a "small" and a "big" one.
I'm posting these amazon links for reference about the flex cable size, I am 100% sure you can get these for cheaper elsewhere...
A "big" one: http://www.amazon.com/ORIGINAL-Display-Screen-Sprint-HTC/dp/B004RDGTJ2/ref=pd_sim_e_7
A "small" one: http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Evo-Replacement-LCD-Screen/dp/B00427SHXO
Again, there are surely places where you can get these for cheaper, but the amazon links do have photos of the items so you can see the difference between the two flex connector sizes.

And get a replacement... why do you have insurance with BB if you're not going to use it? My understanding is that they don't charge a deductible anyway.

I may be misreading things, but from the OP's description, it made it sound like his phone has a protection plan with Best Buy, whereas his lady doesn't have that or regular insurance.

Start on step 20.

Do your research, ask many Others I have helped on this forum with repairs. Yur best bet is to spend the extra money and buy it preassembled. I had for sale screens with the digitizers already attached directly from htc. Wth the plastic stil on the front. Many members purchased from me but at the moment I'm sold out. Save yourself ANY little or big headaches, spend the extra few dollars and buy it all in one piece. Maybe a few of my friends or customers might chime in...good luck

Thanks guys the help us much appreciated.

Highly suggest enabling "Power savings" in the settings. This will help battery life and doesn't make the phone as hot to the touch. Other than that, invest in a great case. You will love the phone!

Id highly recommend not enabling power save mode. I don't feel it's worth the performance hit. I get great battery life still and the phone has never been hot to touch for me.

And if you decide to root/rom backup your IMEI information as well prior to doing that.
If you're not a flashoholic, Google Wallet fix is a nice little feature.
Don't buy a case that has a metal back(blocks NFC)
Before buying ALWAYS check Radio Shack pricing(usually they are ~$50 cheaper than AT&T store directly)

I would suggest reading these forums regularly, especially if you plan on modding your phone. Little things can screw stuff up and you dont want to be left helpless . Lot of interesting stuff if you browse other posts and threads... Learn as you go .
In general the phone is great. Maybe some things are missing comparing to the international version but nothing major.

Yes don't go to att store go to radio shack picked up mine for 150$
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Install CM10 or AOKP.

Get a good case + screen protector.

Walk outside with one before you buy. Make sure you can live with the screen.

definitely don't go to at&t store, the shack hooked up mines for under 100!
from MIB galaxy SIII

Check amazon, wirefly, bestbuy, and radioshack. Compare the prices and look for specials sometimes bestbuy gives free stuff with the phone exclusively like a case or Screen protector.

Find someone who needs to make quota and you can pick one up for around $100-$150, depending on your social skills, and might be able to pick up some accessories near cost. The Samsung flip cases are pretty legit. They replace the back cover.
Get the Invisible Shield HD for the screen, and then get a skin/maximum coverage for the rest if you don't plan on using a case. The HD is so much nicer than the original Invisible Shield. The texture is smoother so it feels more like glass and I've noticed that it's easier to use when it's humid than the original model as well.

I dont know who's gonna let you walk outside with one (makes me laugh when I picture some one saying "I just want to see it in the sunlight ").

Lol no kidding.
If you have a friend with one, just ask them to take it out in the sun. Yes it irks me to have a crappy screen in the sun, but it's just a matter of downloading a brightness app or setting it to auto before you go out (if it isn't already). Minor annoyances for arguably the best phone on the market. You won't be disappointed.

This is the first phone I've ever set auto brightness to on and left it on. It does a great job figuring it out. I haven't had any direct sunlight problems.
As for OP, the phone will get warm under heavy usage. I usually use GPS and bluetooth at the same time while I'm in the car and if my phone wasn't in a case, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to pick it up. Also, keep a charger handy whenever you go, especially in the afternoons. I charge my phone overnight but by 1pm, I'm down to 50% battery and need a little boost.

if you do get a case (and you should) I would strongly recommend otterbox.

Caps are appropriate imo, back up that imei if you plan to do any flashing at all, period.
Also, make a nandroid, having one saved me a ton of grief during my recent "nuked my imei, have no imei backup, omg what do I do" adventures. Restoring the nandroid backup didn't recover my imei, but it did help me on the path to getting back to a working phone ;\

Great I just cracked my screen.. now what?

I bought a sexy back battery cover for my s3 and I took it out of the case to try to be flashy.. I got up while my phone was on my lap and bam right into the st bashing the corner just a lil scratches and one crack horizontally across the phone. I live in Miami hoping to get it fixed asap.. anybody know how much or where I could do this? Im so bummed now... any help is appreciated.

Deductible is 130 so you're not paying much more at 177

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.

But do u think my phone will suffer performance wise. Thats what im worried about.

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
