Has anybody intentionally destroyed their phone to get a refurbished one with little time left on their warranty? I want to know if there is a way I can successfully get a replacement from Sprint. My screen is in pretty rough shape, and based on what I've read, they won't replace it soley on a broken screen. (no digitizer damage) I know it's a bit underhanded, but I'm sure as hell not spending $270 on a screen replacement! Thanks in advance!

WTF? If you're worried about the condition of your phone, don't treat it like crap. Next time around, maybe think about a screen protector and a case instead of trying to scam your way to a new phone?

Lol, a screen protector and a case were the first things I bought for my S3. My phone has fallen twice since then and I have been SO glad I invested in the soft shell rubber case. No damage to the phone or screen whatsoever

The screen replacement is only like 178.50 with next day shipping there and back from samsung. And how are you almost out of warranty when the phone hasnt even been available for a year and you have a 1 year mfg warranty.

Sprint won't help you at all since it sounds like you don't have TEP(they don't help anyway). And Samsung only covers manufacture defects and hardware defects. If the phone has physical damage then your warranty is voided with them

Samsung repairs busted screens under warrant its just not free, but it is about half the cost it would be out of warranty. Its not a bad deal since they replace the entire glass/digitzer/lcd assembly and then reinstate your warranty afterwards:thumbup: and its next day shipping there and back so you're only without your device for 3-5 days max. Typical turn around is 3 days, day you ship, day they receive, day they ship back. However if they are backed up sometimes they have it in their possession for a couple days while they do the repairs

$200 is still cheaper then new phone.. Unless you find a good one on Craigslist with Clean ESN.. Screen protectors are a must! lol.. First thing that went on my phone.. have some scratches in protector, screen under is beautiful.
I'm an old iPhone user and I know with the iPhone if you cracked your screen, you could buy a replacement kit and spend no more than $50 bucks or so. Is there no replacement screens for the Galaxy S3?
There are, but the glass is fused to the display, making it extremely difficult to replace just the glass.

Assuming you have insurance it'd be $150 for the deductible. If you don't then that's you fault. Get a protective case next time.
Stop trying to look for a illegal way out.

How did this happen ?
Sprint will not fix a broken screen in a repair store, unless the tech wants to do it which is rare, has to go thru Asurion, which more than likely is going to be your cheapest option anyhow
$100 bucks aint bad when you considder the phone retails for $600 or so

Thanks for you replies everyone. I don't know exactly how it happened because I found the phone like this on my driveway. My neighbors across the street were having a party and I'm guessing someone that was drunk broke it or something. I just wanted to know the price to see if it was worth repairing and then selling or just trashing it.

Well before you go spending cash on this ET4G ask yourself...
This isn't your phone, and you said you found it in your driveway. Chances are if someone lost it, most likely they reported it lost.
I would be thinking it's ESN has been flash. It's probably nothing more than a parts phone now.

Had an otter box commuter on my phone since day one. Took the phone put of my pocket and it fell on the top right corner from waist height. Just a little drop, nothing major.

The silicon in this case is way too pliable... it actually was pushed put of the way & the screen touched the ground, cracking.
Newer commuter cases for the s3 have silicon of a much harder makeup, so this isn't an issue. The silicon won't move or stretch with age.
I have filed a complaint with otterbox. This is ridiculous. For a company who claims to be so awesome, they better be sending me a free case or money to fix my screen.
Guess I'll be going caseless for a while, seeing as how the commuter didn't do anything except take up space in my pocket and enlarge my phone.

I see a very minor chip in that picture. Now let's think about it; you dropped the phone with a commuter case on it and the glass chipped a small bit. Imagine if you had no case? The glass would have been shattered completely.

That's why I'm part of the "scared users" that doesn't drop the phone on the ground even if it costs our lifes. The Nexus screen isn't THAT resistant. I like the oleophobic glass a lot, but it's resistance is a shame.
Actually, what makes the screen fingerprint resistant is just a coating (namely, the oleophobic coating). Shouldn't have to do with its strengthness or anything.
The galaxy nexus has fortified glass. People don't seem to understand that this device was not engineered to survive drops. Sure it may survive one or two drops buts that just luck. There are devices designed to survive drops.

That sucks man, I'd be pissed too. I'm not surprised though. I bought my gnex on eBay and it came with an otterbox case.I only used it for a bit before getting a trident aegis. Not as slippery, and better reinforced silicon corners. It s not perfect, but I think the protection/design is superior to otterbox.

Tonight I dreamed I had broken my Gnex screen! First time I did when I woke up was look at the phone, I was scared! I already broke my previous SGS II screen and that gave me head aches.
I've never dropped my device when it was my own fault. It usually is because I'm horsing around with friends and it drops but that's happened once and it landed on carpet.

I sent photos of the case to otterbox, and they deemed it defective and are sending me a new commuter case.
This dowsnt fix the busted screen, which has gotten worse and now effects the entire front of the device, however I'm happy with otter box for honoring their warranty.
I'll look into paying to fix the screen after the case shows up.

Yeah my thoughts exactly. I'm currently using my backup device just for kicks. The busted screen on the gnex makes me so sad lol. I'll get sick of the sgs2 after a few days and pry resume using the gnex.
The kicker is that otterbox is sending me a new case in the mail too. I don't really see the point of using a case now that the screen is already messed up.

Its really not that hard. The glass is not the digitizer (touch screen) and all you need is a heat gun, box cutter with the expandable blade and patience. Just heat and pry up just slightly and use constant heat so it comes off right away and not to long in one spot just enough to keep it warm where its bareable to hold in hand. I just did mine for the first time it was easier than an iphone.
Those YouTube videos make it look hectic. I mean if your gonna do a insurance claim might as well try. Screen cost around $18. Also you can add those 3rd party insurance company on now with a receipt within 30 days or make one if you dont have one. Square trade worked for my s2.
Good luck!

So I guessing that Square is just for damages, and broken screens? That's pretty cool. Lost or stolen $4.99mo from AT&T!! Going to pass this on to a few of my friends that don't like cases. Which is stupid in my book, not to cover your phone. It will drop eventually!

Hello I have recently been having issues with my cell phone call quality and have been wanting to call tmobile, in regards to get it exchanged as I have the warranty still available.
However I have a small hairline cracked on the right bottom part of the phone. How much will the fee be for that from tmobile?
Picture to follow shortly

I wouldn't bother, not trying to put your hopes down but I also jad a hairline crack at the bottom corner of my phone, under the back key. Then I sent to samsung for repair, but told them of the crack befoee and they said it'd be fine since its so small. But after they had it for 9 days and then claimed phone couldn't be repaired until crack is fixed which also puts it out of warranty and tried charging me $180 just for the screen. Additional repair fees would've been added later. So to make it short I probably wouldnt try if I were you unless if your going through tmobile directly.

Scratch remover will only make a crack more visible. The polishing compound gets in the crack and makes it even more visible.
Give Motorola the $100 for repair and call it a day. Did you really think you would find a screen for less anyway?

Give Motorola the $100 for repair and call it a day. Did you really think you would find a screen for less anyway?

I'm very glad that I purchased the SquareTrade accidental damage protection for 3 years for ~$40.00. I figure mine will break eventually.

Thanks for reviving a 4.5 month old thread, simply to post your snarky reply. People never cease to amaze me.
I will buy it off you for a lower price cause I am pretty sure you can't fix it.
Did anyone have any luck...
