So a cracked the glass and took the small chance i could fix my GSM Nexus.
WRONG
I broke the LCD and now im stuck with a non functioning mobile.
DO I.
Replace the Screen and LCD for around £150
Do i send it off to Samsung for a repair?
Do i bite the bullet and get a nexus 4 and sell mine as spares or repair?
Thanks

if you have warranty sent it to sammy... if you dont then
a. if you are tired of this phone, get the n4 and sell it(but i dont think you will get much if you sell it damaged)
b. if you dont mind using this phone, get it fixed and keep it
PS- this thread should be posted in the Q&A section :good:
More than anything i just feel gutted about damaging my phone....
Spending £150+ on getting it repaired seems silly considering a new phone is £240..
DO NOT replace cracked glass screen unless you have the LCD also.. You will not be able to do it!

New phone for sure. you havea great excuse to try out the latest and greatest hardware!
I just want to ask before i do it but like a noob i flashed something i wasnt suppose to and the op said clearly it probaly will brick your phone but like a noob i did it anyway(cant believe i did it argghh) this is my first hardbrick ever but instead of jtagging it i want to just replace the motherboard. i was thinking of buying another s3 with a cracked screen off ebay they are running up to like 25 bucks a lot cheaper. what i want to know first is will a cracked screen effect the motherboard in anyway or just the screen and is it hard to take apart the s3? thanks

Hmmm that should work if its a T999, were did you get parts (cracked phone) cauz that is really cheap...?
One thing to consider is if it has a cracked screen, it obviously suffered an impact. Possible it couldve damaged something internally as well.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
i have a sgs3 t999 also hard brick jtag here in mexico didnt work so i think only solucion right now is to swapp the mobo ..where did u find that cracked phone so cheap ??? i look one mobo on ebay is 160 $ .. just make sure ESN is clean..:good:

This a Galaxy S2 section ma8, kindly post ur query in the Galaxy s3 section for any help
Long story short, I had last Monday, managed to goof up and drop my phone about a foot or a foot and a half off the ground and lucky me it dropped on the corner and popped the digitizer. Multicolored awesomeness across the top, giant black hole on the top left corner and green going across like 80% of the screen on the side. It worked for a second, but then I set it down a bit too hard and it just stopped completely.
So, I've looked up a video on replacing it and it doesn't seem too terribly hard; the only issue is when I had replaced my IPod Touch(4th gen) screen I broke the power button and just left it broken because I didn't feel like fixing that because... off topic. Point is I really would like to not mess this replacement up.
I have no warranty
I am on the (bootleg xD) family mobile so upgrading isnt an option....
So, my questions are:
1.What are some reputable places, like ebay or could the wireless retailers do it?
2.Should I just attempt the repair myself and save a few bucks?
I looked on amazon for screen + digitizer and its all 120$+
I also called this one place near me and they said it would cost 175$...
Most repair services will charge close to $200 last I looked. Id suggest buying a used device on ebay, maybe with a bad imei (all that matters is the display), then swap motherboards. Otherwise get an assembly that is already attached to the housing. This will save tons of work and potential mess ups.
The T999 motherboards will only fit in T999 or I747 housings. Do not buy a used Sprint or Verizon S3.

So, the ONLY thing needed replaced would be the mother board?
Would the T999 motherboard work with a I757 phone?
If by replaced you mean swapped out with yours, yes. And your T999 motherboard will fit in either an I747 or T999 housing.

You might choose to swap other components such as the vibrating motor, speaker, camera, etc, but thats up to you to decide if you want to test to find which is better.

Forgive me, I wasn't really clear with my last question.
So, for example: If I were to buy an I747 with a bad ESN, could i swap the motherboard with my T999?
I'm sorry if I am asking too much, I just want to make sure i get the right thing without spending too much.

Yes, if you replace the I747 motherboard with the T999 one, the device basically becomes a T999.
Thank you for your patience Doc! I really appreciate it!
No problem! Glad i could help!
Hi, i am thinking about to buy a Galaxy S II SGH-T989, but the guy who sells it says that the soft keys buttons are not working, he says they was working, and he accidently put in the code *#2663#, and they stopped working, he is selling it cheap, so i wanna ask you is it possible to fix it? I have flashed many samsung phones, so flashing is no problem for me.
Thank you!
I'd say it's a gamble. You may never fix it.
These devices are very old, I can't see a perfectly good one being very expensive... And safer buying a fully functional one.
Just my 2 cents. ?
Well, I own 2 t989's and after updating them both, the microphone on one of em stopped working and still can't figure out how come nor how to fix it. As to ur softkeys not working, if its not something software then I'd buy the lil board to replace the one that's under the glass in the phone, I think for about $8. Worth a shot.
Now I'm soo broke I can't even pay attention!
