I recently dropped by GNex and the screen got shattered. :/
I've been looking for a replacement screen online and found that replacement screens for this phone are relatively expensive. But then I found a part labelled as a replacement screen for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I was wondering if this part would work with my unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus? Would it be compatible?

In theory it will fit, but no idea if it works.
There shouldn't be a difference right? I mean isn't the sprint version supposed to be the same except for the radio?
Don't think it will fit..
Someone went ahead despite the uncertainty, he have not report back yet..
I guess I will go ahead without certainty too...
im pretty sure it doesnt. i believe the cable is in a different spot.
I am looking to get a Samsung Activ S Oddyssey ( Verizon Phone ) to work on Sprint. I can get a Samsung Galaxy S III Sprint phone with a good ESN or another phone. I have seen on other threads there are some developers that do this.Looking for someone do this for me. Don't mind paying. Don't like the windows 8 phones Sprint is offering. Can anyone help?

Help Please
Hey I'm looking for help deciding on phone. I have the UNLOCKED T-mobile G3 right now on AT&T. I had before it the HTC One M8 and the GS5 Active. the G3 is a really awesome phone but the signal is really bad on it. I'm constantly seeing, "Can not send message. Will send when service is available." Not word for word but you get the point. Someone will call me and my phone won't even ring. I have kids. I can't just not have a phone with bad signal not matter if it is an awesome phone. Not sure if It's because it's a T-mobile phone or what.
Anyway, so I'm going to trade my phone. I can upgrade in July so it's not like I have to wait long.
The phones I could trade my phone for are the GS5/GS5 Active, Note 3, OnePlus One, HTC One M8, Moto X 2nd gen. I want to trade my phone with one that I don't feel like I'm getting screwed.. I loved the M8 and the ability to root and rom it but the camera really sucks. I think my blackjack 2 took better pictures. I had the S4 also and the Note 3 is kind of like a bigger version of it so I might want something more up to date. Also I can't root or rom a samsung device anymore it seems.
Can people chime in and let me know what phone to choose and if they have any other suggestions? Thanks.

It might be ATT. Just switched from ATT to T-Mobile and have better coverage where I need it. I think T-Mobile has better building punctuation than ATT in some areas,not sure if it's the LTE bands or what.
I went from no signal in work to 3 bars. Using a G3 right now, love the phone.
Guys,
I don't know how many of us are left but I'm sure the numbers are few and I believe this might be the best forum on the interwebs for this. I have a serious question and I want a place I can get some ongoing feedback and interaction and I know you are up to the task!
My Onyx Black Note 7 (bestest/most favortitist phone I've ever held) was summarily hotlined late last month. I was successful in getting it turned back on only to have it happen again 1 week later. SAD. I re-activated my Note 3 and now have two devices I use daily which seems really dumb. I WANT MY NOTE 7 BACK!!! I have been reading about trimming SIM cards down to fit and see that some have had promising results.
I contacted a buddy who works in a Verizon corporate store and he said that trimming my Micro SIM, from my active Note 3, to Nano size and putting it in my Note 7 would work...but not for long. They will eventually hotline me again (darn IMEI).
So...who has done/tried this? How did it go? How long did it last?
After the big trim, my SIM won't work in my Note 3 any longer and I'll have to get a replacement. This doesn't sound like a game I want to play till Fall.
I would like to believe that at some point they might stop the hotline game but it's probably wishful thinking.
Thanks Team.
i kept mine too and it does make a cool little tablet. if i could get it back on verizon's network i most definitely would do so.
but another issue is this: i took the replacement and therefore have the PHE firmware and am unable to root. but even if i could root, who would put together a ROM for such a device? there are only a handful of people who are in this boat. but that said, root for the PHE firmware would be nice to have...
I recently just let my phone go. It isn't worth it in the end, unless you take the phone to another network or really, really want to deal with with the company as a whole. My phone was hot lined, just like everyone else's. I had another rep take the hotline off, and had the note working again for about a week till it was turned off again. After emailing the CEO, and eventually talking to corporate office, the woman over the phone offered me, at best, a free certified S4 with a $20 increase to my line access fee for a 2-year contract. This option would have costed me the price of another Note7 in the end. At that point, going up in the chain isn't going to get you a refund, nor will they allow the phone to work on the network.
In the legal realm, Verizon can't hot line a phone because they "feel like the device is dangerous". They can't hot line a phone because "they want too" either. They can only hot line a phone under whatever clauses warrant it. If you bring this information to a Verizon rep, and ask them to provide prove that the US CPSC specifically is forcing all cell phone companies to hotline the phone...blah blah blah they'll tell you cool get a lawyer and go up the chain. Even mentioning the term "voluntary" recall triggers them. The store i went into, actually just to give someone a hard time over the whole thing, physically stepped away from me when he saw my phone and the look on his face was utter disgust, like what am I still doing with it? But, whatever.
Beyond all the legality, the system itself is auditing accounts with valid ID's. Note7 IMEI's that is. If the system catches one on an active line, the phone will get hot lined. At that point, you have to find a tech rep who will switch it off, or just reactivate the device. Nobody knows how often or how long the system audit will stay on for, but its there and that can not be avoided. With the system in place, AND fighting an entire company who doesn't want another liability issue, its just over.
The two solutions that current work: Fight the system, or bring the phone to a prepaid network. I'm sorry, and I wish I could offer you more help. I mean hell, I was given the device for free and I still fought to keep using it. Long after the whole thing went down with the recall and everything.
Thanks for the replies.
Yeah it sucks.
I pre-ordered mine, spent week setting it up perfectly only to have to return it a month later. I then followed every forum and had every conceivable block in place in the end, to avoid some crippling malady (so far still 100% charging, no nag screen. Did these happen to any Verizon customers?) Then came the dreaded hotline. The first time I was hit, they directed all of my outgoing calls to my personal voice mail message making it impossible to even call customer support. I had to borrow a phone to call in.
And now... it's a gorgeous, joy to hold wi-fi tablet.
My hope is that they will stop this hotline nonsense at some point and I can do the SIM swap. I have read a couple of posts that swapping back and forth isn't all that difficult but even so, sounds like a PITA.
In the end I'm just sad about the whole situation but I'm sure a new and improved Note will lift my spirits and all will be right in my world again.
Cheers
has anyone done the rooting for the note 7 and had it fail in odin process what do i do so i may proceed and get it rooted successfully?
I'm doing the same exact thing as you: Using two devices daily.
I use my cracked Galaxy S4 for call & SMS (which is rarely) and my Note 7 for everything else.
Just waiting till the day I can buy the Galaxy S8 and only have to carry around one device.
My solution for using my VZW Note 7 was to put my tmobile sim in it. I got the Note 7 via work but always used it with my personal tmobile sim. I use my note 7 every damn day and have not been updated, blocked or even charge limited. I love my Note 7. I did get a V20 to replace it but that phone is horrid. I'll never give up my N7.
[A note 3 SIM won't work because it's too big, the chip part is larger than the entire Note 7 SIM. Those that have done this are using Note 4 or later SIMs.
Based on my research, you can successfully trim a Micro SIM down to a Nano SIM. You do have to cut through the metal but it will work.
Now another question; are you going to jump on an S8 (or plus) or wait till the Fall and hopefully a new Note?
Is Verizon's method based on the phone IMEI or build.prop device name? With root it's easy to change the build.prop and with Xposed there's an IMEI change module. Would this work?
I have 3 Note 7's, non are rooted yet. Not sure which updates they have but I'm going to try.

S8 plus FTW.
As long as it has a headphone jack.
If there's no headphone jack, Samsung is on my sh!t list.

Yep absolutely. The S pen is cool and all, but I haven't really used it in months.
I just hope Samsung integrates the GIF maker into the Galaxy S8 plus, that's the coolest function.
I'm still rockin my n7 fully functional... minus the crack on the back glass. So mad. They tried many things but I'm using it right now

They hot lined me. I turned it back on. They hot lined again. I went to turn back on and sim was zapped. So I clicked the little link to order a new sim for my n7 for free through VZ. It came and n7 works 2 plus weeks. Ordered a backup nano sim too. They'll quit

Exactly what I'm doing. Signed up for T-Mobile one and using their sim. I plan on using it till the note 8 is released
Went the whole month of February suspended, then I activated a s7 and switched the sim over to the n7. Been working since the first. Returned the s7, holding out til the s8 plus has been out awhile before jumping to that.

The s7 felt so slow and gimped compared to the n7. Can't go backwards in the smartphone world.

Hello Oyeve,
I was hotlined by Verizon and that was the last straw after a dozen years of business with them. I am thinking of doing the same thing as you, but I don't want to scare T-Mobile and run into the same hotline problem. How's it going on T-Mobile with your Verizon Note 7 since your post here?
Thanks,

After backing up my Note 7 and removing the SIM card, I am pleased to report that the dreaded OTA update I successfully dodged for months when I was a Verizon customer no longer appears after a hard reset (simultaneous press of Home, Power, and Volume Up buttons and then choosing factory reset from menu)!
