well i dropped my phone for the first time today, and the screen broke. When i turn it on all i get is lines and a black screen.
i have had it for only 3 months but i didn't buy the warranty from att so they won't replace it.
i ordered it from amazon so if i switch phones i get hit with a 350 dollar fee
and if i cancel the line i get hit with att's ETF
i don't have enough money to replace it
is there anything i can do XDA?

You broke your LCD. Buy a new LCD+Digitizer kit
It's only when you don't buy the insurance that you drop and break your phones. It's happened to a lot of us, don't worry.
Totally agree.
Buy a kit and replace it.
how difficult is it to install the new screen?
also, its very strange. there is no physical damage visible on the screen, its only when the back light turns on that the cracks show.

I think you'd need both.
Personally, I would buy the screen only if you have time to spare. The Digitizer screen is made from gorilla glass so if you can't see any damage there may not be a problem. do you still get feedback if you touch any of the screen/buttons? If so only the LCD itself may have to be replaced.
If you are strapped for cash just replace the lcd because it is 100% done for. If that works you just saved 50 bucks. If the screen works after you replace it but you aren't getting any touch feedback then unfortunately you would have to buy a new digitizer screen, and I dont think that one is gorilla glass :/

i can't see any damage to the digitizer. i still get feedback when i unlock the phone (when i put my finger where the unlock bubble would be on the screen and slide it it vibrates)
Throwing it out there. Don't remove the orange triangle tape thingy. Ignore that part of the video. I didn't remove carefully and the phone no longer is responsive.

Jumping out my truck in a rush with s3 in hand it slipped and fell flat on the screen. Screen cracked right in the middle all the way through ... Is my only option to buy a new phone
Ouch.
Its repairable but its an expensive repair as entire screen + digitizer assembly needs to be replaced.
Parts are available: http://cnn.cn/shop/samsung-i9300-galaxy-c-26_1412.html
You might want to ask local Samsung repair centre for paid repair quote. Might be very close to the cost of part and might make better sense to get it done through Samsung directly.
didnt you use a case or screen guard? if so you did a big mistake you can take it for samsung service center and ask them to replace it, but they will charge for sure..

No, you have to replace the screen... there's a video on youtube how to dismantle SGS3.
Or, you could probably still get $400 for it on eBay. (If you're not the type who attempts to repair things on your own...)
Man I feel for you. I dropped my phone yesterday, it landed on it's face and has marks on the screen. The first thing I done was phone my insurance company and swap the details from my old s2 to this one .. I know I will do it again .

you didnt mention if the sreen was funtional, is it?
id just keep it if it was still functiional. it looks weird when off but barely noticeable in the pics.
just another opinion. of course if its non functioning that option isnt there lol
Damn s3 so breakable. I remember when i had s2 and note, it felt from my hands a lot of times and no scratches or broken display
I got a Squaretrade warranty for mine -- $69 for a year and covers accidental damage. (Doesn't cover loss or theft though...). They also charge a 99 dollar deductible, but that's still better than the almost $700 I paid for it to begin with.
A quick reminder, buying insurance on something after damaging it, then using the insurance to repair it *is* fraud, which is illegal, don't get us in trouble m'kay!

SGS2 & SGS3 screen
Samsung used the Gorilla Glass for SGS2. But for SGS3, they used the Gorilla Glass 2 which is much thinner than on SGS2 that's why it's easily breaks. For me, I will stay on my SGS2.
looks like i'll be buying a case for mine seeing all these posts about screen breakage. but until I find the right case, at least i have 90 days of lost & damage protection from Amex!

Screen damage is not the end of the world.......i have been looking at tear downs for the SGS3 and they are pretty basic, even replacing the screen ( which will prob end up costing where abouts of 249 dollars) but that over trashing a new device. i have dropped my sgs3 3 times in the last week and the silver bumper looks Hella Ratty, but my screen is perfect.
i am going to buy a replacement screen as the housing and the screen are joined together, or else i would really need to do some heat gun and gental pulling of the screen to get it out of the housing. but its not hard yall.
if your screen is cracked and you dont have warranty, maybe a screen is the way to go. all you need is small screw driver and a flat metal/plastic peice to pull of the board connections.

What do you mean by that? Did you crack only the LCD display under the glass or did you crack the whole front part of the glass that goes over the LCD display?
If it is only the LCD screen UNDER the glass that is cracked, you can replace it yourself. http://www.amazon.com/Sprint-Screen-Display-Mobile-Replacement/dp/B0084C4O4Y
If you cracked the whole darn top part, then you are SOL, since there is no parts of this available yet.
Isn't this why we pay for TEP monthly?

The One X digitizer will not work as that screen has curved edges, whereas ours is flat throughout.
If you're already paying for insurance you should pay the deductible and trade it in. You'll spend money to get a replacement part anyway, plus your time and you might not be able to do it well or at all. You're actually getting the best deal since you've only spent one month's worth of TEP premiums.

I had to replace the digitizer on my Evo 3D. It also required removing the LCD. While it was cool to do and an awesome experience, IT WAS A NIGHTMARE!!!
The digitizer never quite sat right back in the phone right. 1" of the right side of the screen was not responsive. This was either a bad, cheap digitizer from eBay or I screwed something up. The only reason I did this was because I had three weeks to go before the Evo 4G LTE was coming out and Sprint wouldn't repair it. I also had a spare cheap Android phone I activated until the 4G LTE was released.
I found both of these companies will let you ship the phone to them and will repair the device professionally. Might want to look into it. I would use either if I did it again.
http://www.irepairfast.com/ doesn't list the Evo 4G LTE yet, but they do have a place you can ask about it. Since they repair the One X, it might be possible.
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/repair-service.html seems to do this as well. The cost looks to be about $25.00 above the repair part costs (at least for the device in the linked page). They also don't mention the Evo 4G LTE, but I would contact them as well.
I would expect to spend about $100. That said, that is way cheaper than TEP or a new phone.
Good luck!
finding the part
Has anyone found anyone that actually stocks the digitizer for the EVO 4G LTE? I don't need the LCD, just the digitizer by itself. I found it on durapowerglobal.com, but they have it listed as Backordered and have told me they haven't got any yet and it will be "a while" before they have some in stock.
I wonder if it's just too early in the phone's lifecycle to be on the radar for some of these repair parts vendors. If enough of us start bugging them then maybe they'll work on getting stock sooner!! I already sent an inquiry to the irepairfast.com site to see if they had a time frame for availability.
Wont they replace a screen for like $35 at the Sprint repair shops?? And fyi I think your deductible would be $150 not $100. TEP increased their rates...
I tried to get Sprint to repair the screen on my Evo 3D. They flat out refuse unless you have TEP. Unfortunately.
I highly recommend you contact those repair companies and ask when they can fix it. One of the does custom jobs I think. An email to them can't hurt.

I shattered my screen yesterday, and when I went in to have them fix it, they turned me away, too.
They said it's "physical damage" and that they don't do those kinds of repairs. They told me they'd replace the phone for $150 (TEP), so I told them I'd do it myself. Now it looks like I'm stuck with a broken screen for a while....

I just received the part this week from durapowerglobal. It was back ordered for a few weeks, but they communicated with me during the wait and it looks like it's going to do the trick. I hope to take on the project tonight of replacing it. I hope this is a $30 fix and there are no surprises during or after the install!!!

Dropped mine on it's face a little over a week ago. Thank God I had TEP. Called, and only paid $100 and they sent me a brand new one overnight. The only problem I had was that it came brand new, but with all the new software updates, so I couldn't root it. But at least I'm not shaving my face with my phone while using it.

Here's what I can say about that. I took it to 3 different corporate stores in my area, and 2 third-party repair centers. None of them could even touch the phone in the condition mine was in (see above). Was forced to go through Asurion for a replacement, and for some reason only paid $100 for my deductible.

I replaced my cracked screen with the etradesupply digitizer + LCD, and it's not the same. I mean it works, but it's...different. Touch recognition seems a little wonky, have a few stuck pixels, the glass doesn't have an oleophobic treatment, and I'm starting to get dust under my screen. Like, a lot of dust.*
If I had to do it again, I'd just have HTC repair it. Of course, it takes 10 days and they wipe your phone, but at least it's fixed properly.
*I had a local shop do the work for me. It's possible some of these issues are from the installation and not the screen itself.

No, I would've had to have sent them my phone first for "evaluation."
So my wife dropped her Rezound and the screen cracked. We do have the insurance through Verizon and figured I'd check here before calling Verizon since I need to know how to play this and get a replacement. Will they replace my phone or will they only replace it if our phonse is lost or stolen? Does anyone know how much it costs to get a replacement.

With a cracked screen it will cost $99 to replace. If it was a defect with the phone it would of been free. Kinda sucks but its better then shelling out $200+ for a new phone cause of the insurance. This is from personal experience with my own rezound.
seems pretty lame since that's about what it would cost me without the insurance.

If the picture isn't distorted and your glass is simply cracked, just get a Rezound LCD Digitizer with tools from amazon or ebay and some 3M 2mm digitizer tape. It'll only cost you 30 bucks to repair your screen, and you can choose between getting a verizon branded or unbranded digitizer while you're at it.

ugh, i tried this..only do this if you know what you're doing...i sure as hell didn't, and there's NO repair how to video out there about how to re-assemble the screen..they all convieniently skip that part. i ddin't even know i had to buy new adhesive since nobody said anyhting about that...
in the end, i have a screen with smudges on the LCD from the adhesive i had to pick at, since it was clearly visible underneath the digitzer, and then of course there's dust all over the place because it's impossible NOT to get dust under there, and the ribbon cable is peaking through the top, and i'm sure there's gonna be screen lift at some point. oh, and my bezel is def warped and bent out on the left side from prying with that stupid safe pry tool to get the digitzer out....clearly it isn't so safe!
oh and not to mention that my menu button doesn't fully light up anymore like the rest of them, because apparently you hvae to get teh LED's on there JUST RIGHT for them to light correctly.
yeah it cost $30, but it was a gift to my brothers wife until she can upgrade in a year...sure, she doesn't notice any of that, and it's a huge upgrade from her fascinate, but my brother and i sure do. we both did it together, and if me, someone who tinkers with electronics all the time, and him, a mechanical engineer, can't get it perfect, i'd say to just get the insurance replacement lol i would have, def, especially if you're as picky as me.....
Me doing it myself is probably not going to happen.

If I got a lemon, do I just deal with Assurian or can I get a replacement thru Verizon? On the screen when I got the phone it said 1 year Assurian warranty. Do I cancel my $7 a month insurance?

no i think you need to keep asurion to get it replaced warranty wise through asurion. and yeah, you call verizon, but asurion is who warranty replaces it

hi today my little cousin threw my razr maxx and when i pick it up the screen glass was broken..
however the touch and the lcd works 100% with no problems, even in the cracked areas...so the phone is 100% working, but the screen glass is broken...
there is a way to substitute only the screen glass?? or the screen glass + digitizer???
or i will have to change the screen glass + digitizer + lcd??
thanks
Same problem
Even i had the same problem
changing the front panel costs quite a bit ($200) which was not worth it as my phone was working 100%.
and my screen had not cracked externally on the touchscreen. had cracked only on the hardware buttons and the right corner just like yours.
so what i did was patched it up some silicon gel and covered the screen with a screen protector.
and the results have been quite satisfactory. :laugh:
use clear silicon gel and patch up your right top corner with a very thin layer
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

so its impossible to replace only the glass???
the glass and the lcd it´s just one piece???

but ive been reading that glass + digitizer + lcd are one piece, and cant be separated........ and the lcd is very expensive.....
anyone can confirm this???
Yeah, that's true - the whole front panel has to be replaced (lcd + glass + digitizer).
No insurance?
If you don't have insurance like me, you have to get the entire screen+digitalizer replaced. It took me an hour, but it's really not that difficult.

well i dont have any insurance... and of course that warranty doesnt cover this accident....
bad option for motorola..... this is stupid.... i have only the screen cracked... touch and lcd are working 100% and now i have to replace everything.... i think the repair cost is not advantageous for me, because already had in mind the exchange for the razr hd
by the way
razr maxx with screen cracked, but 100% working, touch and lcd 100% working, used, unlocked, in the box, charger, usb, original motorola hdmi, invoice with warranty in germany till 07.09.2013
150 euros is a fair price??
thanks guys

fair enough i guess but would work out only if the buyer is looking for a great phone at a really low price.
otherwise i dont think anyones gonna buy a cracked razr maxx

Yeah, great but AFAIK it's impossible to buy only the glass...
i saw this and i want to buy it, but it says for the razr xt910
this will fit the razr maxx too? or the front piece have different size???
thanks
well it isnt fake that the digitizer cant be separated from the lcd!!!!
this is bull**** myth!!! of course that technicians and in the stores tell you that isnt possible, more easy for them, and they make more money!!!!

Also just as an FYI you can replace jsut the glass if your willing to spend a bit of time removing it.
the glass you can get off ebay ( i just bought some myself )
you head up the phone with a hairdryer being carful not to over heat it or you will kill the screen or
deform it and you dont want that.
then you carfully remove the glass and apply the new one .
