Hi! Unfortunately i dropped my phone and now it has huge cracks all over the screen. Do you think samsung covers for accidents like this?
Yes, ask them and you should get a new one, with a spare for next time you drop it too (saves on postage costs).

As above, insurance or repair as it was your own fault.

Well, I'd resigned my fate to needing to replace my digitizer. Have a couple dead strips about 3/8 in wide, that go all the way across the screen. The first to appear is about 2/3 the way up, and the other near the bottom which came a week or so later. Soft keys work fine. Get crazy screen action periodically and freezes that can only be ended by screen off/unlock. Here is the strangeness though. Today the dead spots seemed to work, other than a hairline on either side of the dead spots. Noticed this when a city on my weather app loaded that was previously unaccessable (no rotation in app). Checked and confirmed dead spot anomaly with a multitouch utility. Anyway after a little use the full dead spots seem to be back. Any ideas as to what's up? Haven't heard of this happening. Could this be an indicator of a torn ribbon? Has anyone experienced this? Thanks.

You can flash PSDFIX or send your Atrix to service, cause propably it's hardware issue.

Probably not. It's very likely a hardware failure, so it's kinda like asking how do you fix a burnt lightbulb.

Can somebody tell me what parts I need to buy, for repairing my Atrix at home? Has somebody experience in fixing this problem?

There are digitizers on ebay for a reasonable price. I just ordered one that comes with the digitizer, half a dozen tools and a precut adhesive to attach the new digitizer for about $60 us. Seems to be an all inclusive. Just search "atrix 4g digitizer" filter new and buyitnow an.d you'll find it no problem.

Is this the right Item?
I just need the digitizer, right or do i need anything else?
Thanks

This is the one I bought. Has everything including tools. Need adhesive which is included in this auction.
Got My GS3 I9300 now so not using Atrix anymore (good thing too). Replaced digitizer myself and Atrix is like new. Not more than a couple days after the atrix repair was complete, my daughter got her 2 week old iphone stolen so I sent it to her to use. Some douchebag kid asked her to use her phone to call his mom and as soon as she gave it to him the [email protected]#!$%^ little piece of sh!t took off like the wind. Hope some day the little prick tries it on some olympic blackbelt with no conscience who then proceeds to slowly dismantles him piece by piece, or at least make his hands permanently unusable. Anyway the link I provided is a good source for atrix digitizers.
Thanks all and good luck!

It's really simple. You only need adhesive (glue, double-sided tape) if you're getting just the digitizer, without the frame. I wouldn't advise that since it can get messy. Other than that, you only have to pay attention to the rather short and fragile flat cable that connects it to the motherboard. Just follow the disassembly videos carefully and don't be lazy to remove extra components like the screen, even if it seems unnecessary. It might make all the diference in the world.
Fell on floor.. got a big crack...
Can someone confirm what has happened..
I mean everything is working fine.. just there is crack on screen so perhaps only the glass above screen has cracked...
Can someone suggest what to do...
And someone from India what will the glass cost ???

Hi Pal!
The S2 glass will come with digitizer so you cant get the replacement glass alone. you have to get new Display which will come with glass. sorry pal...
here is the ebay link
and there is another option but i don't guarantee this DX.COM
once you got the replacement LCD follow this link for replacement

hi, i can share your pain because the same thing happened to me few weeks back! but sadly they jus dont replace the glass alone as pointed out by #ssnalugu. I got it repaired at a private samsung servicing store, it costed me around rs 9,500, he replaced the whole lcd panel, everything fine now
A Samsung service centre told me it will cost 6500rs
I am thinking to use it as it is for few weeks then buy a new phone...

My drunk idiot self managed to completely smash my screen last night. Any suggestions as to the best way to replace it?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
You can replace it yourself, there are a few videos online however the lcd is very close to the glass screen. I tried doing it and was not too careful and ended up running the lcd. I replaced the screen on my note 10.1 so I was confident that I'd be able to do this one but it didn't work out as planned for me. I paid for the replacement through the insurance and sent back the broken one.
I just wrote you a note!
My S4 was dropped and the screen was cracked so I had it replaced. I was still have other issues with the phone. Has anyone here got a replacement phone and had there screen replaced? I just don't want to be billed $500 for so physical damage. The phone now only has a nick in the corner where is was dropped.
Thanks for any feedback!!

I know its easy to get a replacement I'm just worried about them saying I had physical damage. The screen is new but did have it repaired.

I had an S3 replaced through Sprint that had the screen replaced. I was having issues with the USB port but I felt the need to be honest and told them the screen had been replaced. They told me that 1) That should not have an affect on the USB port and 2) they seemed surprised that the screen had been replaced because they said it didn't look like it had been.

9.9 times out of 10 vzw either destroys phone or they ship back to Samsung...the later half being most used.
I assume you have no insurance?
