Rule two.. search and Google. CNN.cn amazon. EBay. All have what you need.
Rule three. Don't let kids use your phone.

or you could send to Samsung directly for official repair and 90 day warranty for $160 (including shipping)

Check warranty before anything
Before anything I would high recommend going on to Samsung's website and see if you are still under warranty.
My phone was "broken" too and before I did anything I was lucky enough to still be under warranty.
Please check before making any purchases

I actually work for Samsung and set up warranty repairs for phones the phone is OOW by condition. there will be a charge to fix, which is right about $160 to repair. but it creates a 90 day warranty on the device.
you can call
1-888-987-HELP (4357)
or 1-800-SAMSUNG
located on Samsung website

You breaking the screen is not covered under warranty.
Thanks for the info...I called samsung they gave me a number in Montreal Quebec...
They said phone not under warranty...
Called the other number they gave but they will not sell me the part and to repair will cost $275.00 plus tax

Who's your carrier and did you buy insurance ? For 7 bucks a month T-mo will replace no matter what or how something happens to your phone, including loss, (or kids). Last I checked $130.00 deductible, but for a 500.00 phone I'd say worth it. Just be sure they don't try to palm off a refurbished phone to you.

LOL, my kids are the same way with my phones and tablet, but I let them play on carpet and in the car ONLY! If there's a chance, they already know the answer.
I'm in the same boat with a cracked screen, does anyone know if there is a resin of some kind. Also I just had this phone swaped out by tmobile and I might be able to play a warranty card. This would be a really good bussiness if someone could come up with a crack screen resin . I have serched and only found one you tube video, but they are not selling a product.
My carrier is Telus..But when I purchased the phone I didn't need insurance cause it was for me.
Then comes the new Samsung galaxy nexus so I got it and gave my son my s2x...1 week later he.drops it
I'm waiting for a few friends I have in China to see what they can do

I just recently cracked my screen on my phone and I had it replaced. I had hd2 before that and I dropped on the ground and I had it replaced. T-mobile works with Asurion. I'm sure Asurion will ask you for the deductable which is about 130 dollars so go ahead and give them a call. They send you another phone by next business day. Make sure you explicitly request a new phone. 866-268-7221. This is Asurions number for tmobile clients.

Do you remember where you got the part? I am having a hell of a time finding one. I am looking for the lcd and a screen replacement for a decent price. The only one I found was $130 on ebay.
They go for about $65 used, grade B-C. New ones are $100+-, MAKE SURE U ORDER THE RIGHT ONE! These phones can be completely taken apart and reassembled in less than a half hour. Any questions, hit me up.

Yeah, u can buy NEW, but as soon as u turn it on....ITS NOT NEW ANYMORE! A "fully working" used one is just as good, believe me, I fix about 6-8 phones a week for fun and also so my friends dont take their phones in to get fixed just to get taken for hundreds and hundreds of dollars when IT DOESN'T REALLY COST THAT MUCH TO FIX PHONES.

Used display
Some S2 used displays have a dead pixels or gray lines. Which is getting worse with the time. Mine looks like "zebra" especially in the cold weather. So better to invest in a new one. Ebay has it for about $100 now.
Just FYI.
A new screen is roughly $90-100 on Flebay. I won't be fixing the t989 I found in my Pile 'O Junk, as it still works fine. Could probably buy a whole new one for that price.
However, the LG E970 with the broken glass and digitizer is going to get a new display... for only $75.
I got 2 t989's with serial numbers about 200 apart, both had cracked screens, I bought a new screen for (at the time) $145, then id swap motherboards once in a while for kicks, then my buddy wanted to buy one so I put one together all complete, damn near brand new condition, and noticed when people called they couldnt hear us (him), like as if the mute was on. Also, I shot some video with the camera and was saying TEST TEST 123 and played it back and couldn't hear anything. Any suggestions?

Sadly i've noticed from my old vibrant that the gorilla glass is not what's it's made out to be... When you take your phone apart you'll see.. If you bend the glass it breaks with ease, and if you put pressure in one small area it's done for. I swear plexiglass is stronger than the ****.
check Amazon man. it cost about 50 bucks for the whole housing u can even find it in white

EBay revealed a new screen to cost up around 180 bucks. I say buy a new phone.

I was afraid that this would happen to my phone so I bought a Ballistics case for it (since Otterbox decided NOT to make a grossly over-priced case for the T989). Anyway, I'm sorry this happened to you
I would scour ebay for parts or see if someone is selling a defunct t989 you could buy and scavenge the parts. You shouldn't have to pay more than $200 including shipping.

I use to have insurance. But after paying ten bucks a month for 22 months, plus the 100 deductible, that's outrageous for a refurbished device. They go for 200 on Craigslist in my area. Insurance is a rip off.. in my experience

Not really because you get warranty for life you can have as many exchange as you want even when you brick your phone plus it works for any phone that is or was used to your sim card so I think paying my end 5 bucks is well worth it.
And by the way you are right, if i ever crack my screen I prefer to get a new one. people the repair cell phone screens never leave as it used to be. you can tell a lot that the screen been replaced

Hahaha the only phone I got from a warranty exchange that was new from tmobile was when my sensation got a power button defect and tmobile gave me the amaze brand new in box as a warranty exchange. then a few days later i guess they figure about the glitch because the amaze was not long since it came out and took it off from their system as a alternative phone lol.
but guess what I'm kinda tik off from tmobile is that I called to change a plan for my sons phone and the rep could hear an echo so we ketp talking and she said that if I wanted a warranty exchange, my answer was there is no point on getting the same phone that my have the screen bleed or else cause of samsung defect and she had the guts to gave me these alternative phone that I was like omg I better stick to what i have.
1. HTC AMAZE 4G I already had it sold it for the sensation
2. Sidekick 4g
3. Nokia Lumia.
4. Samsung Galaxy S 4G.
5. HTC HD2
Phones that are not even compatible to the S2
Warranty exchange and insurance claim is different. You can exchange as many times as you like but you can only claim insurance twice in 365 days.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
The other difference with an insurance claim is you have to pay a deductable of about 130 per claim when you have the TMOBILE US insurance. I had the insurance on my last phone the HD2 and never used it. Have it on the SG2 as well. Have no idea what you get when you have to file a claim, lesser phone if the phone is discontinued or refurbished?
I had coverage on other phones with SquareTrade and their servce was great. Bought a used phone off eBay, put on the coverage. If something happens, they basically refund the cost for up to two years. Not considering the insurance is dirt cheap compared to the TMobile monthly cost.

Ouch! Well, if this will make it feel better, I've had worse:
Phone + Pavement + Bus # 85 = I'll leave the state of the phone to your imagination. I will, however, say that the SIM card inside was also dead.
And if that didn't make you feel better, I hope it at least made you laugh (I can tell you I wasn't laughing when I saw the result of this combo). That was expen$ive.
Ok, here's the deal: the glass on your phone is just that: glass. What makes it strong is that it's laminated: several layers of glass at tension against each other. You compromise one layer, the entire piece of glass is garbage, it cracks in a spiderweb pattern like what you see. So your glass is a goner.
What about the digitizer under it? Test it very carefully: touch everywhere on your screen and test if the phone will detect it. If not, your digitizer is gone too, you do need that $180 screen assembly. What about the LCD? Any dead pixels / lines / areas?
HOWEVER
If the LCD and the digitizer still work, there is some hope yet: your glass is broken, but your phone still works! What you need to do now is find a way to glue it together again. It will never be like new. It will never be strong again, and your phone will probably die a nasty screen death within a year or so, but that's a year you don't have to buy another phone. I think Walmart has some service to repair broken glass (at least here it does). If the digitizer works, that is. IF it works. And IF your LCD is not damaged. And IF that service is what it claims to be.
Don't expect miracles, your best case scenario is a phone with visual artifacts from the broken glass.
Damn ...
Heard they were now selling our phone for $299 brand new. Not sure how much truth there is to that since I'm in Canada but worth looking into.

so i was wondering if i should exchange my note 2 for another note 2. today i saw on my screen a small scratch that you could only see when the screen is off. its nothing bad but considering i just got the phone less than 2 weeks ago its bothering my like crazy. i did not drop it and i think i got it when taking the phone in and out of my pocket. i ordered a screen protector last week but because of sandy (i live in nyc) most of my packages were delayed. so my question is should i return it to tmobile for a new one. i have up to nov 9 to return since thats the 14 day policy and i could just make up some bs about the bluetooth or wifi not working properly. (please i dont want a lecture about the moral issues of this but considering the price i paid and how new it is im sure most of you would second guess and consider this option)

thats the thing. you will only see if when the screen is off and at a certain angle. lol. its a very light scratch but i know its there and i cant help but keep looking at it and trying to "buff" it out. lol. i know im being anal about it but i hate scratches especially when i just got the phone.
the tmobile store in a mall in NYC said $50 restocking fee when i wanted to exchange my white note 2 for a titanium note 2
You aren't being anal. I would feel and be the same way.. I thought our phone had Gorilla Glass?.. My last phone the T-Mobile SGS4G had Gorilla Glass. I NEVER used a screen protector (love the feel/slide of the glass) and it didn't get the slightest scratch on the screen. I had that phone for over 2 years.. I would expect the same from this phone if it has Gorilla Glass.. Just saying
i would recommend that you instead of taking it to a store, call 611 and tell them that the speaker or w.e is not working. they will replace it with a new unit free of charge.
Good luck with that. My GNote2 showed up with a defective power button and I've been through four days of being on hold, different stories, denials, excuses and general corporate BS in an effort to get a replacement. I finally got another on the way (supposedly) but it was not easy and I hate to think how many hours I put into the effort.

I am waiting for the "I dont use screen protectors because the screens dont scratch" crowd to respond.

My girl put a scratch on my phone by accident ... was very light but i couldnt deal with it.
Odin flashed a kernel and radio for another phone on my N2 and it wouldnt boot... took it to tmo (within the 14/30day period) got a brand new phone....Im keeping the plastic on it till my screen protector and case come this time
Usually not, but damn. Last week my original GNex had it's radio's take a dump. After 11 solid months, I rebooted one night and had data, but voice never came back. So I put everything back stock and walked into Verizon and paid $15 to have a replacement overnighted to me.
Now, a week later, I've come to the conclusion that my replacement is fubared. I've never seen a device experience sleep of death + turning into an oven so quickly and consistently before. It's good for 30, maybe 60 minutes tops before it craps out. This is awesome when your phone is your alarm clock.
So here I go again, getting ready to waltz back into the Verizon store and do the same song and dance again. Pay $15, get a phone on Tuesday, probably have something massively wrong, rinse and repeat. Hey, devices take a crap from time to time, and luckily mine did while still under warranty, but I'm taking picks on how many replacement units I have to go through before one finally sticks.
My guess is the 3rd replacement is a charm. Who wants the over?
Those of you who have gone through the replacement fiasco with Samsung, how many tries did it take you to get a good one?

Shipping to have it overnighted. It's also awesome that my local store doesn't toss out loaner phones while you wait (It'd make it easy to avoid that whole shipping thing). Maybe I'll call Verizon Tech Support just to bug them about.
no issues at all with mine...
I love Samsung personally
OOOh, free overnight shipping. Thanks Big Red!
Hopefully the next one is a charm because honestly, I don't know what I'd do without a Nexus device on Verizon's network. The alternatives make me cringe.
why is there no option for none
Read the last line of the OP.
I'm just curious to know if getting bum replacements is a "normal" thing because for a phone that went through a "100 point inspection", well, they dropped the ball on this one.

Getting my third in the mail tomorrow Last one had ridiculous sensitivity issues, we'll see what the next one brings.
And why don't you just call em up instead of going in to the store? I keep my phone and they send me a refurb in the mail. The first phone was USPS, but after that one was crap they began overnighting it via FedEx.

I went through 4 before I got my refurb, then I promptly sold it for a GSM model. That's one thing that I have to hand it to Verizon for, they were really good once I got the 1st defective one. I had 4 at one time, most overnighted at no cost and no fees or holds.
They did try everything they could to not send me one though... Unlike Google who were more then happy to send me multiple N7's.

I had to replace one because of dirt under the screen even though its new and heat issues, the replacement was perfect and never get hot under normal use. I also bought one recently and it has heat issue and poor screen as well, but I'll live with it for the price. Its sort of a luck thing with this device, especially a lottery with AMOLED screen. I was going to get the N4 but it seem to also have lots of little issues on its own, such as getting too hot, I really hate phones getting overheat.I'm still waiting on confirmation on the USB OTG too.
After reading this it makes me think I need to bug Asurion tomorrow, I had to get an insurance replacement so I have to go through them for warranty now, they are definitely more strict on some things but like 3 minutes of complaining about signal got me a new one once already. The current one gets EXTREMELY hot under even normal use, so hot that it is uncomfortable to hold and definitely would be uncomfortable up against your face.

The first time I went in, I was hoping that they'd have one in the back they could swap out for me, or a loaner phone (fat chance, I know). My job pretty much requires a working cell phone. I'm kind of surprised that Verizon was so willing to send a replacement out in just a few minutes. Granted, I don't know what alternative they'd have. There's no real way to troubleshoot SOD issues. My main concern is just not having to go through a massive fiasco running through multiple devices, especially with an 8 day vacation coming up.

Well, if it's still under warranty, I'd jump on it.
Let's see... My first nexus has a seriously bad screen. I shipped it out the same day I got it. Got my replacement (#2) and the screen was worse than the first one. So I sent that bad and got another one (#3). This one had the same issue as OP. Radios wouldn't work....no voice or data and the phone got really hot. Enough to where I couldn't hold it to my face. So I sent that one in and they sent me a Samsung Stratosphere (#4 replacement). Sent that in and got the nexus I currently have making 5 replacements (4 with nexuses). I also went through Verizon...
Good luck
I had to replace one about ~8 months ago for screen ghosting. I was really satisfied with the replacement until now because the ghosting is back on the replacement. I'm contemplating switching to T-Mobile though, so I dunno if I'm going to attempt to replace this one.

Well that sucks. My screens have been great. Well, that, or I'm not picky. The second replacement seems rock solid so far. Good data speeds, strong signal, solid screen, solid GPS and no SOD/Overheating. Maybe I've lucked out...but I'm not uncrossing my fingers.
I've been through 5+ Nexi already. Tec Asurion is totally worth the $6.99 per month! Free overnight shipping FTW.
Well, so much for Replacement #2. I highly doubt it's the sim card.

Okay so after using my phone for some time I noticed that I've been having a gradual pinkish gradient on the left side of the screen that slowly creeps to the right. At first I was like, nah it's not me even family was like "I don't see anything." Two people I know while getting my haircut looked at at the screen without me saying anything and asked "is it supposed to be slightly pinker on the left?" I was like "I knew it wasn't me."
Needless to say, I know this is possible with amoled, but how often can you get a uniform screen?
On my s6, it took me 6 returns to get an "acceptable" phone. When i upgraded to a note5 i got a flawless perfect screen the first try.
Now im scared to upgrade....
Btw all my phones were from vietnam. 4 of my friends all haelve korean samsungs and they lucked out with all good screens the first time.

Know exactly what you mean.
Why do we have to play the screen lottery with these new phones?
Back when I had my S2, ended up returning it 3x to get a good screen.
My G2 took 4 returns for various reasons and my recent G3 screen went on the fritz within the first 6 months.

Now im scared to upgrade....

Im returning mine today, also got the pink tint which was not there during purchase.
Got the same exact problem. I want to get it replaced it as well. Is it at their own discretion? Can they refuse to change the device? Is the replacement a new device or refurbished? I've bought my device from UAE what about you'llhttps://s17.postimg.org/kzxexdv33/photo_2016_08_29_20_30_35.jpg

They can refuse to exchange it if its passed the return period. They can even refuse during, but then I just threaton to return it outright.
After the return period, its up to them, some may exchange or give you a loaner and send it out to Samsung to look at.
