Go to a samsung store or any other store ask them the cost of the screen.......and then get it repaired or check how to do that on YOUTUBE OR MOBILE TECH VIDEOS (i dont know if they have any video abt this or not)

PHP question

Okay so I bought my vibrant a couple weeks ago from a friend. About a week after that avatar stops working so I call t mobile see if they can help but they couldn't *bummer* .. So today I go onto my account on t-mobile.com and see that somehow my handset has been changed to the vibrant. I'm so confused on this because the PHP bundle is still there so do I have insurance on my vibrant that I didn't buy from t mobile?

I doubt it, but you may want to check. It would be typical of them to keep charging you insurance on a phone you weren't using. They get the info automatically as to what phone you are using. I would check just to be safe.
So I would be paying insurance for my old G1 while I'm using the galaxy s even if they have the galaxy s on my account?

[Q] Scratch on screen?

Alright my sister got a sgs2 about 2 months ago, now I went to help her with something (because I have an sgs2 too and she's bloody unless with it), I noticed a scratch on the screen, its only small and isn't very deep but it annoys me the fact that she bought this phone and now she's bloody scratched it! Will she be able to get the screen fixed or replaced or something for free? It isn't bothering her son doubt she'll pay. Cheers.

Can you see the scratch when using the phone or just when you literally search it?
If you have to search it, then I have good news for you.
I have the same and fixed it with a screen-protector. You won't be able to see the scratch anymore.

If it's just a hairline then buy a decent screen protector and it won't show. Worked for me.

[lost phone, please help!]

okay so while i was at the fair tonight, i rode one too many rides and threw up on myself and had to go home (lame me) and in the process of getting in the car i stripped down to my boxers and shoes in order to not get vomit all in my car. well stupid me forgot to take my phone, which i had layed on top of the car, off of the top of the car before i left and didn't realize it until i got home... my question is does anyone know any apps that can decently ping the phone without the gps being on (or turn the gps on and do it) it has my google account on it so i can load apps but i can't set them up... please help i just got this phone last week and love it...
There are plenty of free apps in the play store under 'lost phone' - everyone I've ever tried you had to setup on your phone first. Do you have insurance? Either way brother, good luck finding it.

no i didnt have insurance thanks though!

both can be installed after the incident. There is a good thread on this in the Hercules forums in the theme section

Your carrier can track, as well. Call customer support. Whatever you do. Do it fast before they pull the SIM and wipe

(Q) Need help with device replacement?

Hey guys. So I was in my school weight room and I was doing my curls when I dropped my SGP 5. Didn't realize it because of my music. So when I finished my set, I happened to acidentally drop a 45 pound dumbbell on the screen. As you would guess, it didn't end well. So right now it has a massive dent in the top left corner and glass is coming off. The screen (miraculously) still works and it still connects to my computer. I need to know how I can bring it into best buy without them noticing its rooted. I already have it on default ROM and kernel but it still has superuser and terminal. I literally have no money so a new device isnt an option. Any help?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
there shoud be an unroot option under superuser.
btw, having terminal doesnt mean yr rooted.
B sure to make a nandroid.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
If unrooting through superuser doesn't work, try the unoot feature in superoneclick.

Thanks guys. I ended up having a friend fix it. Though I found out that my best buy no longer has the SGP's anymore. Would I be able to get an nexus 7 with my warranty due to them not having a replacement and similar prices? I remember having something like that for my headphones.

I don't know about that. But you say your Best Buy does not sell the player anymore? Weird. Although you might be able to buy it at Toys R Us (yep they sell the player there too).

Bypass Cracked Sreen w/ Pincode

Friend of mine dropped her AT&T S3 phone and cracked her screen. I have not seen the phone yet, best I can tell she took it to best buy and they said the screen is cracked and the digitizer is broke. She of course has a pin code and is unable to unlock it, I thought when a phone was locked you also couldn't access it from a PC. Her phone is not rooted, is there any way to recover her contacts, text messages, and possibly any pictures?
THanks!
Plug a USB mouse into it

she's got a Google account, but since not everything is on her replacement phone I'm betting it's not sync. I was thinking maybe Android lost, installing from Google play Web and seeing what I could do.

MHL adapter and usb mouse should do the trick.

Turns out no display at all, does the s3 support MHL to hdmi? I'll just buy one if it's the same as the n2
