Straight Talk S3 Broken Screen - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

My Grandson was given an S3 968c and the first day he broke the screen taking it out of the case that would have protected it, So I've been looking at screen replacements' and they seem to be as much as the phone was new , we got it for $99.00 and the replacements are about $66.00 bucks I've looked around and can buy a verizen for a lot cheaper but I don't know if it will work.I'm not sure I think it's carried on verizen it's using straight talk as the carrier. Has anyone run in to this issue and what screen's can be used... Thank's

Did you crack the LCD or is it just the digitizer?

Sorry I'm not getting notifications when I get a replies , no it's still good I've been reading around and I guess this a Verizon phone someone said you could remove the ST sticker under battery and it supposedly has a Verizon sticker for I forgot the model Think it's SCH-i535 but I'm not sure what to buy to fix this.

So unless I am mistaken, your LCD is still intact. All you need to repair is the Lens Glass. They come in kits and tend to be universal and cost anywhere between $5 and $10 for the repair kit. As Example:

There are many sources for these kits.

Cracked screen!!! DIY screen replacement?

Long story short, HTC won't fix my screen through their advantage program so now I have to fix it myself.
Has anyone here tried to replace the screen before? If so, any pointers?
Why do you have to fix it your self? There are many reputable 3rd party repair centers out there.
is that not an option for you?
IFixit.com has done a teardown..

Most shops either don't fix M8's or want around $200

Yeah I saw that. If just the glass is broken and the lcd display itself still works, do I only buy the digitizer?
watch a tear down video.
Almost all phones in the last few years have the LCD glued to the glass. Its possible to remove the two but it requires lots of work and additional tools.
Quick answer is no, dont buy just the digitizer, you need to order it with Glass/LCD.
Unless your familiar with working with small electronics dont do it your self.

Out of curiosity, why did HTC deny your claim thru the advantage program? also you can still send it to them for repair and pay for it. Its not like they completely rejected your repair due to water damage or something..
The screen on the M8 is not really "user replaceable" - period. While you can certainly check out iFixit, the conclusion is - nope, not replaceable. Just getting to the battery is an epic adventure. Unless you have a lot of specialized tools, patience, and a lot of luck, I would strongly suggest you just shell out the cash and get it repaired professionally.

Got it, that makes sense.
I needed to show them a proof of purchase because there was a problem with my serial number and imei matching up, since the phone was bought on CL there's no way to prove the purchase. They told me I could get it fixed for a charge but they wanted ~$180

Bump, has anyone tried this out?

Broken Back Glass replacement

Unfortunately my back glass broke and I was wondering if any one knows of a supplier that sells them or if you know how much Sprint would charge me. I don't have insurance :thumbdown:

200, they would just send you out a refurbished replacement

You can get the back pieces from Amazon they're reasonably priced and there are tutorials on YouTube on how to replace it.
I bought custom ones for 3 or 4 bucks. Since its already broke use a hair dryer to heat it up. Cant break it any worse. I was in this same situation they also make plastic ones. They scratch easier of coarse but eliminate they breaking again. This is a simple fix no need for insuarances or anything like that

As another poster posted does not take two hours i had completly tore my device down and back together in roughly 30 min but i was doin circut board repairs. I normlly wont go against other posters but like i said this is a re easy device to tear down specialy since ure back glass is already busted.

Deluxe cover is available in aliexpress. There was one seller who was selling with original packaging. I got one for me, but it is currently out of stock with him. You can get it from ebay.com but price is high there.

Did it come with NFC? My cover is starting to crack around the corner and the headphone jack
So if I'm correct, the OEM deluxe back doesn't have the Intel logo on the back, correct?

Most of them are not original as they are not coming with original retail packing. Like this one in ebay is original but price is high by Usd 10 from what I got from aliexpress. http://m.ebay.com/itm/262101389595
And to confirm mine came with nfc chip.

99$
So cheap! said no one ever.
2 day s ago they sell it for 69.. ?
What is the point of buying a budget phone and then spend 60-90 dollars on a back cover...
Wow, they were 32 not so long ago... Supply and demand in action.

is there any online store for buying battery?

Hi friends,
I'm using Robin for one and a half years. Last week I faced a huge problem. The problem is If I removed my phone from the charger it gets switched off but if I put it in power save mode it can stable to 50%. Is there anyone facing these kinds of a problem or if anyone knows how to fix this please say me. I feel that the reason for the problem is the battery. If so where can I get an original battery or replacement battery!!!!! please, friends, help me.

Unless you're in India, no there isn't (long story short they won't ship outside India). Your best hope might be this, but it's not for the faint of heart: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...tery-replacement-guide-nextbit-robin-t3872034

I can make no judgement as to whether or not they're a good source, I'm in the US and they won't ship outside India.

The only place I know of to buy a new battery is the site that won't ship outside India. There are used batteries pulled from non-working or allegedly never used phones on eBay, but those are at least a little risky.
The other link I shared is a post from someone who figured out a way to get a similar battery from an Oppo phone to work with the Robin. But it is an involved process not everyone (including myself) is comfortable doing.
The bottom line is that I don't know of anywhere in the US to buy a new and never used Nextbit Robin replacement battery.

It doesn't matter whether or not it ships outside India. The website shows the battery is out of stock.

You'd better buy a new phone.
Similar issue here, if power hungry apps are started (like camera or new GMaps) and battery is 50% or lower, it just dies. I'm in Singapore and had no luck finding replacement battery. Pixel 3 coming tomorrow as replacement, farewell Robin, I liked you.
Robin will be downgraded to some sort of smart home touch panel device to listen to music and control lights. Maybe even Google Assistant? We will see.
