Is T mobile insurance worth it? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Literally 5 minutes ago, my beloved s3 t999 fell about 2 ft off my lap onto gravel and the entire screen is cracked now. I have a UAG case that has protected it from worse falls.
Anyways, i pay insurance to T mobile which is 9 bucks a month. However, they want me to pay a $150 deductible for a replacement when I could have sworn the insurance was supposed to cover damage because when I decided to get the insurance the T mobile rep told me I only had to pay deductible for theft.
A new screen on ebay is much cheaper, and i have fixed phone screens before so it shouldn't be anything new (pretty sure there are plenty of tutorials out there anyway).
Insurance or fix it myself? If i go insurance, ill have to return my phone back to stock and reset the flash counter which is something I really don't feel like doing, but will if I have to.

Never mind about using their insurance. Was just informed that the s4 upgrade was only $150, so I'm going to get the s4, then order a screen for the s3 and sell the s3 back to someone else. Profit?

The S4 is $150 down, then $20 a month for 24 months.
The most I've seen an S3 sell for (since the S4 came out) is right around $330.
You could buy the glass yourself and fix it, but there's the chance of screwing up the digitizer.
I would just go through T-Mobile, you're paying for insurance every month for a reason, right?

Go with screen !
You should stop paying for the insurance , and get the s4... but i hope you know its 150$ DOWN, Plus 20$ a month added to your monthly bill. and you pay 20$ a month until you pay the full price of S4 off. And if you dont feel like doing that. I RECOMMEND to buy a screen and cancel your insurance because your really paying 9$ for nothing ! But be sure you buy the right screen because you can get scammed ! Be aware. :cyclops:

If you make an insurance claim you don't have to return it to stock. That's just for warranty purposes. Insurance covers anything you do to your device which is why there is a deductible.
As for replacing the screen it's not a simple task. I wouldn't waste the money.
And as was pointed out, the S4 is 150 down and 20 dollars a month for 24 months.
If you are not on a value plan you may be able to get the S4 with an upgrade contract but I believe those are 199 and up.

Tmobile dont do contracts no more.. The only way is to finance the phone. Unless you go to walmart I think they still do contracts on tmobile

T-Mobile does not directly do contracts but third parties do. Its the only way they could keep selling T-Mobile service.

Already got the s4. Was 150, 190 after tax. I didnt want to soend 150 repairing the s3 if I could just get an s4.
Anyway, still going to attempt to fix the s3.

In my opinion no.... And now that even a Google edition is coming out.. It means that the TW base s4 will have more stable aosp experience. I got the s3 and n4 last year and gave the n4 to my gf, because i knew i could flash aosp to my s3 and have the same as that n4... She is not rooted and she hates me because mine aosp roms are better than her stock aosp..

Everything in the S4 is an upgrade from the N4. The S4 has the latest and greatest tech on all fronts except the camera compared to other smartphones on the market.

The One has better low-light capture and 100% crop images although it really depends on what you're trying to do with it - for me, 4MP prints just wouldn't cut it. Way too small of an image.
The best camera on a smartphone is the 41MP on the Nokia 808 Pureview by most accounts.
Don't get me wrong, the S4 has a great camera but the sensor is still too small for pics in darker environments and the lack of optical image stabilization can make for a blurry image.

The 808 isn't even WP - its Symbian! Rumor is they are coming out with a WP EOS phone with another super camera... might be interested in that but yeah it sucks they use Windows Phone although a lot of my friends switched to WP8 and love it.

Well the 808 is a few years old to boot... Its an old Symbian phone... Nokia is rumored to be working on a new version... If that old tech can kick the crap out of the newest tech or at least match it (it blows everything away with low light which was HTC's only big selling point on that camera), imagine what a newer version would do!

Anyone want to jump ship...

Okay please ignore if you are not interested. I already have a thread in the marketplace and have tried many other times. I am wondering if anyone here with a gsm gnex is willing to do a straight trade for a white unlocked sgs 2 for Tmobile. I have extra stock accesories which include extra battery , mhl adapter, and hdmi cable. I know its a long shot but just casting my net. Ive had it for a few Weeks and still have box. Anyways, please pm me. No I wont do trade plus cash. Oh and I dont care for your extras, just want the phone, USB cables and charger and possibly the box. Thanks.

Good luck with that. The SGSII isn't worth what the GNex is. Bottom line.
They're better off selling their GNex and buying a SGSII and pocketing $100.
Guess you might find someone willing to do it with no hassle but they'd have to be willing to take a loss.
So aside from the OS difference , lack of sd card slot, and similar specs, the gnex is somehow worth more?

You have to import the GNexus whereas the SGS2 can be gotten just about anywhere. Supply vs demand.

Fair enough you prefer the SG2, I prefer many aspects of it over the Gnex as well. But it came out 6 months after the Galaxy S2 so obviously it's going to cost more.

I'm kinda on the fence about it.
I played with a customer's that brought one in from pre-order the other day. While the new Nature UX looks amazing and the device is smooth as butter, the size is a deal breaker for me. It's too large for my hands (twss). I almost fumbled and dropped it. :x
I'll probably stick with my Epic Touch for now and wait for ICS kernel sources so that I can get amazeballs battery life on AOKP. I'm rather enjoying this ROM.

I haven't compared the actual pics and videos but essentially the s3 has the same camera as the s2, just faster and with more options. People should really take the time to read the posts in the s3 section. Many people are reporting issues that shouldn't be happening with a new phone. Many are discovering that it really is just a s2.5. It's also experiencing lots of LOS (loss of service). If you REALLY want one, it would be wise to wait until the problems get ironed out in a real update. I'm not talking about the little security update that's going to get pushed to the sprint version on sunday.

I said all this once specs were announced it's the lte version of the s2. It's basically the same phone. The performance difference shouldn't be noticed. It certainly isn't worthy of my 2 year renewal as it's an equal gen phone to what we have now. Besides who can't wait 4 months for the nexus

From someone who has one, it's well worth it. It's nowhere near "basically the same".
sprint is releasing an LTE version arent they? I dont think LTE will be available until 2013 in my area. I cant see knowingly upgrading to lose 4g until the phone could be almost a year old.

Maybe well worth it if you are not coming from an s2. Upgrading to the s3 means you can't upgrade to a next gen phone. Next gen phones come out in q4 for Christmas season. It's like having an iPhone 4 and upgrading to a 4s sure it's nicer and more refined, but upgrades for most aren't yearly anymore and most would just wait for a true upgrade rather than some polishing.

Yeah, just sell the SG III on ebay for like $350 or $400 and then your getting the Note for the upgrade price.
You have a trial period with sprint of 14 days I believe so you could exchange it within that time. I almost jumped ship and got the s3 as well, but research showed me the note 2 was coming a month later.

S3 vs. Nexus 4

Thought I'd share my thoughts on the N4 vs. the S3
I bought my wife a Nexus 4... if I liked it, I planned on selling my S3 and getting another one for myself.
That way we could share accessories, car docks, etc... there would be some benefit to having the same exact phone.
Anyway... her Nexus 4 was delivered yesterday and I'm not sure that I like it any better than the S3.
The N4 seems bulkier and while the N4 does have a slightly higher resolution than the S3, some of that real estate is used for the soft buttons home, back and recent apps.
So when you have them side by side it looks like the S3's screen is bigger on a smaller device.
The play store is sold out of N4s right now anyway, so I don't really have a choice.
I think once CM10.1 (or any AOSP 4.2 based ROM) is stable there'd be no reason to go from the S3 to the N4 (until 4.3 comes out and you have that 3 to 4 month lag).
Also, my S3 has 32GB and a micro sd card slot.
Ok?

What do you mean, ok? It's the general section. It's alright he didn't ask a question good point FunkyELF. That's how I feel about it too. The difference isn't worth the switch. Just hold on to your S3 until the S4 haha I wonder if they'll get the flex screen stuff working in time for that. I'm so excited for tech in 2013. Happy NEW YEAR!!

There are many things that I don't like hardware wise about the nexus phones, I used to own the nexus one and I was very very happy with it until I lost it, but the new models don't appeal to me like the original did... too bad other android phones get updates only if you're lucky :/
I almost bought an N4 over the S3 until I heard about no wifi calling on the N4 through T-mobile. That plus the lack of expandable storage and glass back of the N4 pushed me towards the S3 and I haven't regretted my purchase at all. Dropped a 64gb Micro-SD in the S3, installed Nova Launcher and BAM..Samsung knows how to make a great phone. I still hate touch-wiz, but any launcher of choice fixes that rather quickly. I really wanted the N4 until I tried the S3 + Nova Launcher.
Same here buddy. I got my gf a N4 and I compared it with my s3. to tell you the truth I figure why would I want a nexus4? If I flash CM on my s3 would be better. The only thing I liked about the n4 is the hardware with the back glass. But Im happy with my s3 and not going to get me a n4.
I agree with you the s3 seems to have more space on the screen.
By the way my gf is getting tired of the n4 she doesnt want to root. So there is no way I can fix what she wants. She says that some apps like bank of america and cnn dont work properly, she hates the fact of not having adobe (even thought i told her I'll put it on and she dont want to, she says that if it was taking off it was for a reason.) Another thing she doesnt like is the speed of the phone browser wise. But anyways I like my s3

Well unless you are on the value plan. Then your price is 500+ $$. That's what drove me to get a gnex prior to this phone. I paid only 250 for it when I paid 529 fory gs2. I paid 549 for this phone and laying it in installments. The nexus four is half that price. So yes it is an advantage.

It's not an advantage to get something that's gonna suck when the real s4 comes out.
It's like calling an HTC hero a g2
That "thing" is just to trick people who can't wait for the real s4.
Also Google wants to prove they can put out phones by themselves. Which they can't. Lord knows I wish they could.

It's not an advantage to get something that's gonna suck when the real s4 comes out.
It's like calling an HTC hero a g2
That "thing" is just to trick people who can't wait for the real s4.
Also Google wants to prove they can put out phones by themselves. Which they can't. Lord knows I wish they could.
We need to let the companies know we aren't Isheep.

Been installing flip out decks all day. Little harried. That may not have been as helpful to the op as I usually try to be.
Let me try again. If I dropped my personal s3 I'd drive straight to the store and buy another one.

Well comparing a phone that is actually sold to a theoretical phone "s4" is not a comparison at all. I do think that Google has put out good nexus devices bit obviously not everyone likes what they put out, hence why people choose the s3 or other devices . Those people want SD card support, etc. When I owned a gnex I actually felt at peace knowing I'd be running g the latest and wouldn't have to be refreshing xda forums hoping for a good rom to run. There are reasons I'm on the sgs3 and not in the gnez but its not because it wasn't an awesome phone , but because the features it offered were not as beneficial as what I get from an s3. (WiFi calling, SD card, increased in call volume, media volume. ) I am not going for the "s4." Because Samsung is also towing us along like sheep. Yes I said it. How many of you actually will keep your s3 longer than 1 year? They only care about competing with iPhone.

I know Samsung is doing that, too. It would be hard not to. Don't buy a note 2 and they learn a lesson

Lmao "fake" S4...
Google wasn't trying to make an S4, or to even compete with the next generation of the Galaxy line; they wanted to make a high end Nexus device with a low price point so they can gain a higher userbase in their ecosystem rather than giving Apple a chance to herd more people into their's.
It's really not about which is the better device, the S3 or the N4, but rather which device is more suitable. I love the S3 because of its screen size, microSD slot, and the screen saturation. On the other hand, I'd jump at the chance to try out a Nexus 4 because it's pure vanilla with a sharper screen, pure black slate at the front with no branding or logos, and the build quality looks to be able to provide a very premium feel.
That's actually a good point.
I still like girls staring at my screen size

I almost bought an N4 over the S3 until I heard about no wifi calling on the N4 through T-mobile. That plus the lack of expandable storage and glass back of the N4 pushed me towards the S3 and I haven't regretted my purchase at all. Dropped a 64gb Micro-SD in the S3, installed Nova Launcher and BAM..Samsung knows how to make a great phone. I still hate touch-wiz, but any launcher of choice fixes that rather quickly. I really wanted the N4 until I tried the S3 + Nova Launcher.

I know this is pretty stupid, but I purchased the OG pro at full retail price 22 days ago. I called at&t to see if I could exchange the black for the white and they would not budge. I know they have their 14 day policy but they can't make an exception? I even talked to a supervisor and he was pretty uselss.
LGOGP must be selling poor
Who knows, it seems like LG Optimus G Pro is selling poorly ... I've picked up one in white this morning for 400$ + tax at AT&T retail store. I thought it is selling at 439$, but the CSR showed me the screen (kind of didn't wanted to sell it for 400$ thinking that is mistake).

400 before taxes is a good deal but it must be in store only because online it still shows 439.99.

Is it a flip cover? You can still see the front if it's not. White looks so classy I would definitely do it if I could but I got my phone about a month and a half ago
Couple pics for anyone wondering what the actual white AT&T pro looks like.

Heres the deal. The reason u got the phone for 400.00, as did I, is because of the new upgrade feature they are running. At&t next. I bought lg og pro for 400.00, and htc one for 540.00! Saved 100.00 bucks. The at&t rep told me i got a deal, and that they werent supposed to sale them to me for that price, unless i was due for a 12 month upgrade. Hell im not even an at&t customer! I use these phones on my straight talk sim.
Anyways, hope that cleared up the price confusion. If i were u guys looking to buy a phone right out.....i would jump on this before at&t fixes the price in their system.
Edit.....there is no sales tax here in montana, so i paid 400.00 straight up.

So, you are saying that the system is confusing the price with the price for the "Next" thingie that they've announced. Ha!
I can't complain for the 400$ price, but at the same time got me worried; it seemed to me that ATT is trying to clear the stock so the they can discontinue the product. I know, it doesn't make any sense, especially now that they've released the white one and G2 is on the horizon, but sometimes ATT is weird player.
Anyhow, in june i got the black one, but i've returned it because i didn't like the color (hate fingerprints everywhere). Now that i have the color that i like, i guess i'll stick with it ... But this price weirdness confused me, to be honest ...

Ya, thats what the sales rep told me. Lol. Im sure the glitch will b fixed soon, thats y i bought both phones when i did. Lol. I always had a htc ONE, but i recently sold it, so i got another. I love both of these phones. The LG screen is amazing. Especially for watching videos. And the ONE build quality, is hands down "the best". I will eventually sale one, and keep the other. Im really hoping development will kick off for this og pro, cuz i really love it. One would think at the 400.00 price tag, we would have a ton of users, and development.

I hear ya. I had a SGS4 from bestbuy before the black LGOGP i had, and i've noticed some crush on the black color while watching movies. I saw the same thing on their floor display and on the ATT's floor display too. So, i've chickened out and returned it. Bestbuy didn't charge me restocking fee, that was good ... The point i'm trying to make is, the screen on LGOGP is absolutely the best one in my experience. Hopefully the CM10.1 port will get ironed out soon ...

Ya, that would b nice. But im not a cm guy. I like this stock rom, and i liked the hyperdrive sgs4 rom for the s4 a lot. Its a stock look and feel rom, with all the features, plus a whole lot of extra features. Im not willing to give up the features in this stock rom, hopefully soon, we will see a stock based rom, with extra features, and mods.

This thread cost me $35. I just bought a black one Aug. 17th. I found out from here a week later that they carry white now. I had asked them if they were going to come out with a white one and they told me no.

I called and complained plus the Lady saw the log. Sent me this bad boy and a return box for the lgog.
