Then yes, it works, it's just the screen. The OS starts up properly and you are able to interact with it without the screen.
I don't think warranty would cover the screen, probably a cost to get it fixed is required.
If you're lucky, they may replace your phone, but in most cases, they're not likely to do so.

the part i was worried about was the whole screen was black
i assumed it should only be the cracked part
i hope they dont charge me too much for screen
on google they range from 130$-250$

The screen and the glass are fused together, thats why its that expensive online. You can't replace them individually.
that sucks its about 1/5 the price of the phone
well thanks for the help

I would have to agree.
You'd be better off getting a new one.
Hahaha I'm sorry that i'm laughing but the screen cracking and the battery drainage could not have anything in common ^^
Oh no....thanx...
I brought mt GSII to samsung center..
changing processor and screen cost me USD290....is it worth it??
How much is the screen alone? i also have a screen issue, the phone turns on but the screen stays black and sometimes rainbow of colors appear on the left side.
Phone stays on as it gives feedback when i touch different options by guessing!

Every time I buy screen protectors I buy a couple of them because I know the first one will never come out perfect. Btw if you are interested in screen protectors, they are super cheap on ebay. But then again so is anything small like that. Ebays your best friend if you have patience.

My previous evo3d had the exact same issue. It wasn't consistent but sometimes just turning the screen on I could see the unlock ring going nuts. So would the keyboard or if I opened up dialer it would call one of my listed contacts. I would battery pull to make it stop.
I took it to the sprint store and they replaced it and acknowledged it was defective. It happened on any ROM.

for those of you who ended up taking it into a sprint store. how did this exactly work? how long have you had your phone? did you need to have insurance on the phone? did they charge you the deductable?
did you put stock rom back on it before bringing it in?
i've been looking around for answers and it seems that most ppl find that it's a hardware issue.
thx!
hello.
I've got serious problems. Today I get in the car and watched the latest messages on my phone. then suddenly the screen began flickering and everything was getting over bright. So I thougt that a reboot would help. totally wrong, Tried to reboot but the samsung boot screen turn purple with blueish tinted letters. Then my heart goes crazy because I tought I bought a phone with a decent quality. And now the screen is just past away!! Why Samsung, Why?? Tried to boot several times. Phone starts up so I made a backup from the SD card but there's no working screen. I feel horrible now. because now i have to wait untill it's monday so i can call Samsung for an RMA and then just wait a couple of weeks. 2 weeks without my S3. This is just like rehab in a nightmare...
Does somebody here have experience with a faulty screen?
p.s.
Phone never dropped on ground, never. Always have TPU case with touchscreen-protector
Lightning is not covered under warranty .

Did you take an insurance when you bought your phone?

that lightning strike was just for fun. It wasn't hit by lightning. No i don't have insurance on my phone. This is a fault of Samsung?? not mine? How can i destroy my display driver myselve? that's impossible.
Funny joke... very descriptive. The only reason I read it was to see how u managed to get ur phone struck by lightning and still managed to post about it...

OT
will it be covered under warranty? On a dutch forum I read several cases with broken screen. most of them in a couple of weeks after the release.
If this will be every 5 months I want my freaking money back because I don't gonna sent my phone 4 times in 2 years. and after that I have to gonna pay myselve for the repair. That's rediculous. Even the S2 would last longer. This is such a shame for samsung. Monday I will call customer service and then I will explain the whole story and then they have to repair it as soon as it gets.
I have the flickering screen problem as well. It happens when the screen turn off (time-outed and manually) and turn on again. Anyone has the same problem? I wonder if it is a hardware or software problem?

that's not the flickering i mean. But I know your problem. It's software related. It get's dimmed when you push the home button right after time-out.

If you screen or display is not working its warranty . If your screen is broken or cracked its not warranty .
If you have custom rom or root or rom counter above zero warranty is void .

Not dimmed actually, The screen is like the magnetic field noise when we put our dialing cellphone near to CRT monitor last time. Sorry for my bad english.
they can't even see the binary counter because of the screen that's broken .
But I think I did reset my binary counter already 2 months ago. after that I only did flashes with CWM. Not Odin.
p.s. Does it count flashes with CWM? I think it only counts when you load via odin.

You're kidding right? I hope you are LMAO!!
No I'm serious.. How can they watch binary counts when display is not working anymore?? Simple right?? Here in the Netherlands there are several cases with people that have rooted S3's with broken screen. They all get a new phone. If they could see the binary counter. They wouldn't send out new phones right??
A defective unit , after reading countless posts about defective units i am doubting about samsung's quality ....

Hello, same problem here but only when auto brightness and power saving mode (any combination of options checked) are on, which I just recently noticed since on dark background you wouldn't see it. Software bug?
My S3 fell out of my hand and hit the floor on its corner. When i turned it on again the screen was all green and the touch no longer worked. Now when i turn it on nothing shows up and the screen stays black. I was thinking of repairing it myself, so would i need to just buy a new screen or more?

If you use that you must realise that separating the glass from the digitizer is a very tricky fiddly hit and miss process where you are more likely to break than mend in all honesty
I think that the screen is broken too. Because you said that the screen was black after turning it on. Think u need a new display + digitizer. They sell them on ebay for 200 dollar. It's expensive I know but I don't think there's an other option.

Ok, thanks so much for the help everyone!
and there's no guarantee that the screen is the only thing broken.
PS there's a "thanks" button
So it looks like a small part of the top of my screen is dead, already tried everything and no luck, The draw line test shows about a 10% of the screen not working. I think this might be a hardware problem, but not sure.
If its the hardware, is it possible to only replace the Digitizer glass, without replacing the LCD screen?
Where can I buy the part (hopefully Original, I read that third party replacements are usually disappointing, because of quality.)? I tried searching in ebay and amazon and was only able to find for the HTC one X not the plus version.
Is it too hard to replace or i'm better saving for a new phone?
Do you mean the area where the status bar is? My HOX+ also doesn't recognize touches there. It happened suddenly 5 months ago when I was playing games . However, I used to it and it is not a big problem, I will give it to repair when I get on vacation .
I already made some researches on the internet and it is not an uncommon problem for touch screens. Yes, it is the digitizer's fault.

Exactly the same problem, upper part of the screen (all notification bar). I have an OCD and this tiny things bug me a lot. I guess now I need to find a digitizer to replace it, the problem is that on ebay and other sites there are not HOX+ available, all are for the HOX.
Is there any difference between HOX and HOX+ digitizers? I thought both got the same screen.
I'm not an expert so I won't fix it on my own, better send it back to service .
Btw. I've read one time that you can put a piece of paper between the bezel and grill to clean some mess up which could get inside the phone. I was wondered that I was able to slip the paper there, but it didn't work .

yes it will work, but you can't only change the digitizer, it's too hard glued together. I broke my LCD connector while replacing the screen although
I was really careful, so it's not as easy as everyone says.
Thx, i will keep that in mind.
