Am I the only one whos noticed a little scuff on the bezzle around the home button? It was there the first day I got it. It might have been from when the tmobile guy unboxed my phone to activate my sim card. He turned it over on its face down on the counter. Does anyone think i could get this replaced?

It's possible but in my opinion, but I'm not sure if they would take it back for a scuff. Just my opinion

Within that 20 day remorse period you can return it for any reason. My replacement will be here tomorrow. The chrome plated plastic bezel has a crack by the ear speaker. My wife can't see but that sh*t drives me insane. ocd here.

i always wait until the remorse period is over to root. Just in case. It usually takes that long for stock firmware to show up anyways.
I Odin'd MDL back and everything went back to stock. I got my warranty back and they exchanged it. Actually the girl didn't even check anything I just told her I had overheating problems, the screen had smearing issues in the settings when brightness was low and that it wasnt reading my micro SD card although I know its not the s4.

I have returned many phones with bootloader unlocked and root. .. They don't even care and bother to check all those. They just make sure the device turns on and the serial number matches the one they sold you.

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

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

The side where? On the screen, the front bezel, the battery cover?? If its on the case of the phone somewhere i suppose you could find replacement parts online and swap all the internals if you were so inclined. If the screen itself is scratched, other than some hair brained schemes like blow torches and sand paper i would say you are stuck with the scratch. The good news is a decent screen protector film should disguise anything other than a major disfiguring.

I worked at Best Buy. If you are within 30 days they will probably take it back. Also, Black Tie is a protection plan that covers everything but lost and stolen. I will be sure not to help out in this thread any more though.

I had people bring back phones that had water damage. Half our managers would say take it back and the other half would think about it and then may or may not do it. If he just got it yesterday he could reason that it was too easy to scratch since it is supposed to have gorilla glass. I've returned more with less reason because the customer was nice.

I stated that I wasn't going to help because my advice was disliked. But, if it was my store I'd give you some Crap then help you out if you were nice and reasonable. You could also get the protection plan. I'd be tons more likely to help you if you had that.

You don't really have to do either one, but if you are trying to swap it in store I would, and you have to have a reason other than the scratch. If you are using GSBTP you need to break something on it so they'll send it off. If you use GSBTP you don't need to unroot because that doesn't matter.

would it be bad if you just swap it out saying you actually want the blue one but buy the screen protector to hide the scratch, and then a couple days later just go back and switch to a new white one saying you actually preferred the white one to the blue one?

Does anyone else's home button seem loose after using it for a while? Mine rattles slightly when touching it. I'm not sure if that's just the way it is or if it has come lose. I can't seem to find the way the home button is put together in the inside as there's not too many tear down pics on the net that even show it. Just debating if this will be an issue down the road and needs to be returned before my 14 days are up.

Yes, I'm pretty anal about babying my phones. I'm not sure like I said if it should have a little rattle like that or if mine has a slight defect.

That's why I was asking here to see if it's pretty much the norm. Thanks for the reply.

I bought mine around noon the day they came out, my button is still completely firm. Not sure how much relative abuse it has taken though. Seems pretty weird to me that it could be rattling, as it feels like it is a pretty solid fit. But maybe we will all be complaining about this soon enough.

It may not be the Digitizer. This phone has had a lot of abuse hurled at it by various members of Toddler class. It has time and again proved to be solid.
Just to rule on hardware or software issue, can you comment on if there are any other issues except display ? Also did the 2 year old threw on hard concrete or carpet ?

Well just about 25% of the status bar is black as well as part of the screen. I'm sure rebooting the device or doing a factory reset isn't going to fix it.
But hey let's see. Supamike88 boot into recovery and see if the issue with the display is present there. To get into recovery press and hold volume up, home button and the power button and release them when the phone vibrates and you see blue text in the upper left corner of the screen (which in this case you might not see because of the screen). Is the issue still present?
You could do a factory reset to see if it fixes the screen, just back up everything before doing so.

If the screen is black but the phone still works, then its most likely the digitizer like I pointed out earlier.
You can buy a new digitizer and replace it, but its not really recommended. You might as well get another S3.
You could also just sell it for parts and try to get another S3. (I wouldn't recommend this unless you can do a factory reset).

Good for you. Please note, when you get the new device back, carefully read the label behind the battery. You may get SGH-T999L instead of existing SGH-T999. The L stands for LTE. If that happens, you will be in luck. But need to understand its not the same device but rather newer version.

That's just the digitizer. That link I gave is the glass LCD and digitizer attached and for the same price.

Anyone actually repaired one of these? Just curious. I'm gonna attempt it. Still doing research.
The screen does turn on. There is no touch input.

I doubt it because lg screens are a bit complicated and ppl are scared to attempt it. However there are how tos on YouTube you can follow. I would go with the link I gave since the two pieces are attached. With the separate piece you might have to loca the glass to the LCD so u don't get an air bubble in the middle or dust in the screen after time. My first time fixing my Note I didn't use no loca since none of the vids instructed to do so. Worst experience ever, thank god I was able to take it apart and redo it.

I have replaced 3 screens on the OG(mine and 2 of my sisters). It is super easy only hard part is getting the glue behind the screen hot enough to take off. Other than that super easy got a phone repair kit from radio shack for like $12. I can tear down and put back together in like 5 minutes now.

Nice! I never got a chance to own an OG because I ended up with my Note but still followed this forum because I like the device. Maybe you can give OP some pointers

The phone kit is the best thing has everything you need.http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13180768&retainProdsInSession=1&znt_campaign=Category_CMS&znt_source=CAT&znt_medium=RSCOM&znt_content=CT2032236 And use a hair drier or heat gun to get the screen off. DO NOT touch the battery if it gets poked or bent out of shape a little it will go bad very quickly. Obviously unplug it from the board but thats it, and its only 2 connections to get the screen off the main board. Everything is pretty easy once you get inside. I watched a video and that was a huge help.

For 80 bucks would you recommend just the digitizer or the bundled glass and digitizer? I'm assuming the two piece together is the better deal and less work correct? Just trying to make it easier for the op lol

Definitely get with the glass. If you get a fingerprint or dust under the whole thing wont work.

Get both. All things being equal, your best bet is to replace both. Since screen and digitizer are so close together on this phone a break like you got probably means both are damaged anyway.
