Yeah they charged me 35 I think. And at the time I didn't have insurance.

Had the same issue like 2 weeks ago and was told they don't do that anymore.
Good luck.

last time I visited them for this reason, I believe that they said that they don't repair cracks larger than an inch.

You could try a NON corporate sprint repair center. Most of the ones I've ever been to will do it and sometimes free. In my case they just write a note saying the something else was defective and replace the screen (or phone). Most times if they can get the money from sprint they'll do anything

Dramatic Difference In Screen Quality (PIC Added)

I just received my replacement t989 from TMobile, and realized my original phone's screen quality was horrible! I powered them on side by side, and my new phone looks clear as day with bold colors, and my original phone looks distorted and VERY yellow! I will post pictures after work. Has anyone else noticed this?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Yes. Also got a replacement recently and I can attest the screens have gotten better on the newer-made phones.

Updated OP with a picture I took of them side by side. You can clearly tell which one is which.

Same here, my previous t989 screen was crappy and the moment I turned on my replacement phone I noticed a huge difference with the screen quality, felt like I am using a whole new phone.

I think the replacement just has a better screen. I don't see them degrading to that extent, especially in this short of time.
If you have insurance T-Mobile discounts the exchange to only $5 and you get free overnight shipping.

It was free, but they changed it to $5. It's worth it though since they added overnight shipping.

[Q] How much to fix a bricked sg3 with samsung?

My screen got damaged on my sg3 and i have the chance to buy a bricked one for 150 to change the screen but my question is , how much would it cost for samsung to fix the bricked one ?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

You can fix the bricked one for 60 on top of the 150 at mobile tech videos... Here is the link... http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/
If you send the broken one to samsung it will run you about 180 for a new screen. so decide which route you want. You don't have insurance?

no i dont have insurance as i use straighttalk.

Screen swap

I have a busted up screen on my phone. My brother has a sprint note 2 that he has to send back to best buy because of a warranty issue.
It is a grey note 2 with a flawless screen. Is it possible to switch the two?

But your brother may be committing some sort of fraud by giving you his screen?

It's a warranty exchange anyway!! So they're going to refurbish the old phone anyhow. Most likely use it for parts. For the other refurb phones!!
Jmho.....

I know I sent a note 1 in for usb replacement and instead of sending me a refurbished the wanted to just fix my old phone and send it back due to screen damage... Just saying, you never know what I warranty department might claim.
