i have a thunderbolt and just dropped the damn thing and broke the lcd and digi, i was wondering how much you think the phone is worth for parts? i wanna sell it. if this is in the wrong thread, im sorry. let me know thank you
32gb sd card, batt cover, and battery for 100 would be a steal.
You might be able to fix it, I did that to my incredible and it worked great afterwords. Not sure if any digitizers are out yet though for it.

no insurance? id still take it to verizon and say the screen went out on its own or something to see if they can send you a replacement. dont mention you dropped it and you should be fine

You can buy lcd and digitizer for less than $40 on ebay. Don't know how hard to change out but probably guide on youtube or google it.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement bezel? I bought my phone used and it has some nicks and scratches on the bezel. I think I have a mild form of OCD and it drives me insane to see scratches on it. Also what size Torx wrench would I need to take this thing apart? All input appreciated!
The bezel, as in the piece attacked to the screen, or the plastic ring that's slightly higher around it?
The glass piece is about 40~ bucks, the plastic? I've had a quick look on the Google and found nothing, sorry dude.
I am pretty sure it is the plastic around the glass screen. Mine is loose in one of the corners and it is making me upset. I would love to know where to get a new one, but for now, I just have a case on it to make sure it all stays together
My best suggestion would be to just repaint yours for now.
Call verizon if your having audio issues hint hint...I know someone who bought a use phone and it had a few things wrong so they sent them a refurbished one,these phones have a one year manufacture warranty it doesnt matter that you got it used they dont know that.

Hmm, sounds like it would work, but I don't know if I would really want to do that... I might if a replacement bezel is out of the picture.
I know it will work,I bought a used thunder bolt it wouldnt mount to my pc called and told them about they never asked if i bought it used or anything.My friend had the same issues as yourself but i think they may have told them something else was wrong with it and they sent a refurb to them,its up to you but they just send them back and get refunded...
Hmm, the buzzing behind my music is a legitimate enough reason to ask Verizon for a new one. I might go this weekend and see if they will replace it.
You might want to call in they dont have refurbs in store most of the time they overnight them to you.

Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if they would let me get a Nexus? I love this phone, but I would really like to try out a Nexus. Then if I don't like it I could just trade someone for another Rezound

Would you have to have insurance for this?

I was looking around for this same thing, and I think I might of found something, try this and let me know. (If I ever need to) also, I am curious to see if you can get a Nexus. (I still love my Rezound though)

I will try it out tomorrow after I call Verizon. I am also curious if they will give me a Nexus. I bet if I complain about the build quality of the phone and how I'm not happy with it and maybe threaten not to come back when my contract is up they would give it to me I do still love this phone though, so if they will just replace it I will be happy.

I had both phones at the same time and returned the GN after 3 days...no comparison...Rezound is better by far all around!

Hi guys, i came to my phone today, go to send a text , and the screen is unresponsive where W and E would be on a keyboard.
Is this a Sofware problem, or a easyfix?

More than likely its the digitizer like whats wrong with my phone. The fix requires pretty much disassembly of thee phone.
Deadspot
So this is my problem... Is there a chance it is a software problem?
Not really.

Then do you think that if i replace the digitizer, the problem will be solved? Maybe it's a wire and not the digitizer that is the problem?
Replacing the digitizer almost always solves this kind of problem.
Tomorrow im gonna replace my digitizer. Lets hope i manage to do it without destroying anything. ill post back
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
when i replaced the digitizer the dead stripe just moved from the left of the screen to the right. I think im done trying to fix this phone. I might as well send it to our dear devs if they can make better use of it than me... still i dont know why but i want to fix my atrix so much... should i buy a 3rd digitizer?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
Son you just save me from buying an atrix with this problem, thank you, and god bless you!
Didnt drop the phone at all. Could it be that i went to a cold country? Negative 5 and then i'm back in the tropics.
When it happened to me because I dropped it, I bought a new adapter on ebay for like $5 and installed it myself. it's super easy
how to use adapter he is talking about the S3
you take the phone apart and replace the slot. but don't do it if you don't know anything about it

Maybe I don't understand correctly, I didn't find any spare part like this in ebay, maybe I am not lazy, anyways if you are lazy to put a link about an item that you bought or don't want to help others isn't my problem.

There you go

Don't ignore the more likely cause of this issue- the SD card is broken.
somebody pushed me into a pool with my clothes on a few weeks ago and I had my Samsung gs3 on me
I've tried drying it, took it apart, tried to dry the motherboard separately,... but nothing worked.
I got a new gs3 and the only thing I care about now is to retrive my photos if possible. The water damaged phone won't turn on and it won't connect to a computer. To make sure that the problem is the motherboard not the screen I've switched the motherboards to see if it works or connects to computer but it won't.
Does anybody know how I might be able to retrive my photos?
I think the solution might be to take the phone's internal memory out and maybe install it on a working board and recover photos from there but I dunno if that thought is doable??
Anybody knows of a repair shop that could do that for me?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Yeah ..i saw someone do that once ...in an episode of CSI !!
I know its not that helpful but hey ..at least im trying to cheer you up .
Good luck with your project and ask your dumbass friend to buy you another s3

I will, but the problem is I already took it to a repair shop and they couldn't help me and there are not a lot of pros in this field in the city I'm leaving
I thought maybe somebody could refer me to a pro and I ask them or mail the phone/motherboard to them
Sorry to hear about that, things happen though.
Did some research for you and found this: http://digital-photography-school.com/recover-images-from-a-damaged-sd-card
but I am not entirely sure it will work. If anything, you would take the phone back to Samsung to have the data removed
unless you have lost your warranty.
Good luck anyway.
It's probably possible to recover the data from the integrated ssd drive through complex and very specialized tools aswell as lots of work.
This would involve desoldering the chip from the motherboard and hope it's not defective due to your attempts to use the device.

In future, open a dropbox account and install dropbox on your phone.
This way, all your photos will upload automaticly to your dropbox account without any manipulation.
Good luck Bro !
thanks for the search
but unfortunately I wan't using sd card before so the pics are on the phone's memory
I do still have the warranty and I called Samsung but they would just repair it and wipe all the data off the phone they won't recover it for me
