Ok, here is what just happened to my Galaxy s2 today...
And I talked to few stores, but they all told me that they cannot replace only glass, it has to be replaced with display so it would cost me 170 euros, so, is that my destiny or they just want to take as much money they can?
Oh, boy... That gem is bleeding...
I'm from the Philippines and I don't know how much 170 euros cost. But try to weigh the cost, sir. If you think that it's almost the price of a new unit, you're better off buying a new one. But if you think that it's a good deal, then good deal it is.
If you are handy you can try to buy the parts on ebay and replace it yourself, should cost you around half that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253969
Fail that, look around, even for dealer replacement that is pretty high.

I just bought a used phone from a for sale site tonight just so I can steel the glass/lcd/digitizer. It really is an easy process to swap the whole unit out, it really only takes about 20 minutes.

You need to check the reputation of the seller before you buy from E-Bay.
And even than you are not sure about the quality of the battery.
The best is to buy the original battery recommended by HTC.
Actually, the best thing to do is, whenever you even remotely consider buying something from ebay, have a friend whack you in the head with a brick. There's a reason why the prices on ebay are so low...it's cause 99% of the products are either advertised as something they are not, or the seller is a straight up scammer and won't send you anything at all. Feedback is useless; there are networks of scammers out there who generate feedback for each other that appears to be legitimate.
If I sound a bit disgruntled, I'm sorry, but so far over the past 3 months I've lost over 500$ on ebay and STILL waiting for paypal dispute resolution to take care of it.

......................although; one can always have a great experience, bar the 2 cars I have bought! (Cars were under £200!)
Ebay is good but you have to do alot of research, just received the Seinheiser CX500 headphones.......fantastic and the world is far away due to the quality.........
Will
That's cool...I know I have had SOME good transactions on ebay, but I just hate the fact that when things go wrong they seem to tell you that they will help fix it when they dont...they need to regulate things more, because there are so many scammers on ebay...i would bet my life that there are at least 100 people gettimg scammed right this second
BTW Seinheiser is great..I've tried those and I liked them
For wired headphones though i use Ultimate Ears in ear monitors...theyre amazing but they cost ALOT
I'm trying to some some studio quality bluetooth headphones at the moment with no avail
Ebay
I get just about all of my phone accessories on ebay. Most of the stuff while cheap does what they say. True feedback does not mean much but I have bought all my extra batteris there and saved a lot of money. $ 12 for a battery there compaired to $40-50 eleswhere. I think it is worth a try.
I second surgex0. When stuff goes wrong ebay/paypal doesn't care.
And batteries - I got some 'new' batteries once that were original branded but lasted 20% my store bought batteries did. I'd stay away.
does sears or kmart or ace or some place sell them im planning on taking my white bricked phone screen cover and put it on my bronze phone.
you might be able to find them at a regular store, but i would suggest ebay
btw what are your plans for the phone itself?
You need a T-5 and a T-6, as well as a #0 Phillips screwdriver. Best of luck finding them locally, you may get lucky. I got mine a long time ago on eBay, and they have proven to be very useful over the years!
sears carries them, i used to buy one single T-6 for $2 all theeeee time. i used to use it so much they wouldnt work anymore lol.
just keep it on the sid till we fix bricked fones. thanks ill call sears.

if it was a craftsman tool it should have a lifetime warranty, so you only need to buy 1
Then again for disassembling a phone it should last forever, as the screws aren't going to be torqued down very much.
Had anyone ever done so? I can get a brand new fascinate a guy dropped and cracked the screen. He wants 50 bucks for it, and I found a screen for 90, is it that difficult?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
With an iPhone it's easy as pie. I can't imagine it's very hard with our phones.
Yeah, I've done similar on iPhone an DSLites... they're all easy and generally pretty cheap to replace.
I always just bought off of ebay and did the work myself.
Just find a youtube video and take your time. Its easy.
Here's the video.

Also, considering you can buy off ebay without a contract in fully working condition for about $150 or so... I don't know if its a good deal to buy a phone for $50 then spend $100 on replacement parts.
Seems like he needs to drop the price to $20 to be worth it.
Where is the cheapest place to buy one the lowest price I found was on amazon which is the same as a close store,
I also want to get a good case for it, after I buy I plan on installing Vegan rom so any suggestions on where To buy it?
Not on fleabay. You will mostlikely get hosed. Many people have had good luck with woot.com and tigerdirect.
You could probably look in the general forum and see if another gtaber is selling one. We see ones with cases and extra schwag going for the same price as new all the time.
There's a Woot! Off going on, today - there's a chance that they might add the GTAB at some point, and most likely for $285 if they do.

It is possible to find a good deal on e-bay, just make sure to know what your maximum bid will be, for what you get.
I got mine there, paid $300 for the package that included the G-Tablet, a case for it (would pay $20 plus shipping from electronic crap) and a bluetooth GPS that amazon sells for $35. So, in all, I pretty much got the G-Tablet for under $245.
The "CLIP" on electroniccrap is perfect for the gtab. Although it blocks access to the full size usb port.

I think I'm just gonna buy from the store, I don't want it used ofc I like the feeling of opening box :3
Ya I think staples is selling it down the street at least that's what good says for the same price that it is on amazon.

Currently, 10" gtab is on sale in Tigerdirect.com on $270 (use coupon code: FDQ33784) with free shipping (ends by 6/15). That is the same price I bought from Woot.com in April. If you want a good case, you can try electroniccrap.com. They have many custom design cases for gtab and good service. I hope it will help you to get into gtab world easier.
Thanks for the advice ;o Tho im not sure if im gonna buy by the 15 was waiting more towards the end of the month I guess we will see.
Just picked one up at the TD store in Buffalo Grove, and the dam thing has a white line down the left side of it, but the battery was completely dead so I will give it a charge and see... I got the in store price of 299, and I talked them into the 30 bux off.. ... Then picked up a belkin case for 25, so not bad..
It came with 1.2-4???? will play with it in a bit once it's charged, but might have to take it back..
Will re-rom soon..
Make sure you guys visit gtab for dummies page.
I just seen them on Tiger Direct for $269.00 yeaterday

I got mines last month from a local Office Depot for $299.99. It seems that is they regular price for the Gtab. Sears also has it for the same price but their stock is depleted locally.

well just because it has the 1.2 bootloader doesn't mean you have a big loss on your part. There are plenty of choices for the 1.2 bootloader.
If you don't mind picking one up used, but in good condition.. check Craigslist out. I scored mine for $180 with all original accessories, including the foam sleeve that it comes in. Not a scratch on it!!
Edit: sellout.woot has them for $249.99 + $5 shipping today. That is a sweeeeet price for a brand new one!
So my Aunt saw my Galaxy Note 3 weeks ago. Last Easter weekend, when we saw each other again, I was surprised that she bought one too.
Anyway, I tried it and noticed right away how awesome her screen protector was. Of course, she didn't know anything about it and I'm 100% sure she got ripped off by the AT&T store (reseller, not corporate). So I called the AT&T reseller store and asked what skin she installed on my Aunt's note.
It was the "Wireless Solutions Anti-Glare/Anti-Fingerprint Screen Protectors"
After doing some research on where I could buy it online. Of course, I check the seller from resellerratings,etc. But unfortunately, I can't find any review from the stores I found it was selling. After looking further, I became confused if this are legit sites. Anyway, here are my findings.
I found that you can buy here:
http://www.buywirelessnow.com/smartwireless/buy/accessories/cat/617/accessory/1256578
and amazon here:
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Solutions-SCRNI717ANT2PKSDL-Anti-Glare-Anti-Fingerprint/dp/B007B6YO2Q
First of all, I thought the amazon one was good, but the picture looks like the international version of the note. Even though the manufacturer part # is for the at&t note.
Now, I'm not sure if buywireless is a legit site. I would like to risk $9.99 but of I would still prefer amazon just to be sure.
Anybody shopped from buywireless.com? Or anybody tried that screen protector?
By the way, the screen protector was really awesome. It had better spen accuracy compared to my el cheapo screen protector. I really want to get this. Please help.
Thanks
EDIT: I forgot to mention that AT&T authorized reseller store is selling it for $25. Ripoff.
UPDATE:
Ok I bought one of these from an AT&T store (reseller, not corporate) because it was $15.
It is the worst $15 ever spent. Don't buy this. It makes the screen rainbow-like (I dont know how to describe it).
Does anti-glare/anti-smudge make this in general? Like rainbow like?
Thanks
keplenk,
I highly recommend you ask them for a refund and buy one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007CP5EW0/ref=oh_o05_s00_i01_details
or
http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-SGP-Pr..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334627017&sr=1-6
I personally have the Glass and absolutely love it. It is well worth the money and even if it doesn't prevent all the figure prints, it does stop a good amount.
As for the scratch protection, that's what I really bought it for. Think about it $35 now or $200+ later.

i Second that, i love the glass one too, i agree it does not avoid all finger prints but i love it, its just like ur screen just protected and scratch free. worth the 35.00 IMO, i even tried the ZAGG Invisible shield protector (which i was always a big zagg fan) and i still prefer the glass

I'm sorry to hear that.
I highly recommend you to use Amazon next time for this type of thing, If you were unsatisfied with this product, Amazon would most of the time give you a refund.
This is why I do most of my shopping through Amazon now instead of Bestbuy or what not.
+ I have Amazon student so I just absolutely love the 2 Day shipping haha.

Exactly. Trying stuff really is a pain sometimes. I will look at the glass to glass protector. Thanks for the tip.

No problem, Good luck man!
P.S. Take your time when doing the Glass, I also recommend you do this right after a shower. I have a pesky spec of dust on my screen but I'm afraid that taking it off would not adhere properly. It's not worth $35 to get a spec a dust out haha...
