Hello all,
I am at wits end here. I have gone back and forth with att customer care, att coporate stores, and the mobile insurance company about whether or not the galaxy note would be covered if it had screen burn in. I have seen too many threads across the net on the note, and all other galaxy amoled phones that have gotten screen burnin and some folks get it replaced, and some can't and have to buy a screen. I really don't want to pay $250 for a screen replacement a few months after buying the note if that happens. Can anyone confirm whether or not this issue is covered for sure? Thanks for any help.
If you get screen burn just drop it in a cup of water and make up a cool story . . . lol.
Have you tried e-mailing some of the third party insurers and asking their policy on screen burn?
bestbuy covers everything with no deductible

Funny you mention that cause I asked the guy so if I drop it and the screen breaks I can get it replaced right? "yes"
that might be a good option, screen burn? no problem, just drop it, hit it with a hammer lol

In my experience with my local device support center they will replace the phone for anything. I've gone through 6-7 captivates from either bricking or didn't like something. Ive had the rotation sensor die and being stuck on landscape the camera died GPS was **** (typical of cappy). I think I even replaced for a dead pixel or two. All replaced in the first year no questions asked. I've also gotten about 5 spare batteries from them, due to not getting satisfactory life out of what I had. Get the right people say the right thing and your all good.
Damaging it such as breakage by hammer will void any hope for getting it replaced. If you have burn in go to your device support center and get a replacement.

You are right I never think about my phone getting lost or stolen and I think it's common sense to think that bestbuy won't cover lost/stolen phones because people would be coming in to bestbuy everyday saying there phone is lost or stolen lol
I didn't know they did water..I gotta have lost insurance myself cause I dropped my evo in the lake once and never found it.

For someone that breaks their phone or drops it in water best buys protection is amazing. The no deductible thing is the kicker. The Note is a tier three device in ATTs insurance plan meaning its a $200 deductible for a replacement. The only thing they cover that best buy doesnt is lost and stolen, which these days most people dont lose their phone.
So, I got a really bad luck. My phone never fall on the street when I use the case; just when I take off the case, it fell down and cracked my screen on the bottom right near the Search button. It's still functional and the crack is not really bad, just kind of annoying when I realized that there's a crack there (not that noticeable for me, literally only a small piece of the screen on bottom right that got cracked)
So, I am just looking through my options here. I left my phone in stock condition because I don't want to void the warranty; but now that it's cracked, ....
Should I just root my phone, play with it, and deal with the small crack?
Or, if I left it in stock condition and change the glass, will I be able to claim warranty (in case anything happen)?
Or should I just get a new phone on CL? (like HTC One S maybe )
Any suggestion is welcomed

All depends on how much work you want to do and/or money you want to spend.
If you replace the screen yourself you'd have to remove "void" stickers and you know what that means as far as warranties go.
SOOOOO...
1) If you have insurance, you can replace the entire phone for $130.
2) If you don't have insurance, you can replace the screen yourself since it wouldn't matter if you void the warranty. You can buy a screen from eBay for about $30 or so.
Screen: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Digitizer-T...949?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c630ce6e5
Screen replacement video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA4JToM5uxA
Personally: My screen cracked and I've toyed with the idea of replacing the screen myself. Since I have insurance and I replace my phones a lot I didn't want to void my warranty so I decided to go through Asurion. For $130 I received a new phone, new casing, new battery and a new charger. Basically, I now have double of everything (except for phone since I had to return the cracked one).
Breakdown:
Per T-mobile's site:
Battery = $30
Charger = $15
Battery Cover = $20 (per ebay)
Total = $65 in Accessories
Cost for new phone = $65
Doing the replacement I got about $65 worth of accessories on top of a new phone for $65. Not too bad compared to just buying a new phone.
Bottom line, it all depends on you and what you're willing to do/spend. Don't worry about rooting until you make the decision to keep or replace your current phone.

OMG . i didn't know replacing the screen myself will void the warranty... -_-" plus after looking at the video for 2 mins. i will decline to the idea of replacing it myself
I bought the phone off CL about 2 months ago (FOR $230 !! ); so, I don't think it has any insurance.Can I still get an insurance at this point?
If I can't, I guess I will either live with it; or sell it and get another phone
Thanks for the reply!! Those info really helps me

Yeah dude, when I saw that video too I thought to myself that I'm better off just replacing the whole damn thing... haha
It never hurts to try to add insurance. The worst they can say is no.
Call HTC its 145 to have the screen replaced and they will extend the warranty out for a yr.

Really? So they're willing to change my cracked screen and add another year of warranty? I bought the phone off CL so there's no insurance, and i thought warranty normally doesn't cover this kind of damage.
Although after usibg the phone for a couple days, i realized that he crack is really not bad at all... Just get annoying sometimes. Lol.

Dude I'm there wth u! Got my water damage amaze (no warranty ) off CL. Phone worked great til I dropped it. With red water damage mark and cracked screen I had nothing to lose so I took it apart. I have to say its the easiest phone I ever worked on. Just so u know the digitizer is glued to the LCD so getting em apart is the tricky part. If you have the $130 or even $145 option available that's the way to go. The cheapest I've seen the pre assembled digitizer/LCD part is $115 so if you decide to take yours apart be careful separating digi from lcd ! You will need hair dryer.

Just wondering... is the replacement brand new or refurb? The crack wasn't that bad imo. So, getting a refurb doesn't sound like a very good idea to me (it might have some functionality problems).
Here is the pic of the crack on the phone... Since I bought the phone from CL for 230, paying extra 145 doesn't sound too good for me (it's 70% of the phone price in my case!!!). Anyway, thanks for the replies
They were supposed to replace the screen in my phone, but a few days after I paid for it htc called me and said they didn't have any parts and asked if I'd be Ok with a new unit.. Or wait like 3 weeks for parts... So i got a new unit. But they shipped only the phone. On a side note I had a problem a couple weeks ago with the aluminum coming off from around the camera, called htc explained the problem. They asked what color I wanted, told them white. Got the new back opened it was black, called htc told them they shipped me a white one and told me to keep the black one... Sweet. I'm in the middle of a project for my gf, painting the aluminum on the original baxk green for her, it was relatively easy to take apart the back. Stay tuned for pics coming soon....

Hmm by phone only you mean they only give you the phone without everything else right? That sounds like a refurb replacement to me...
Anyhow, thanks for the reply. I think I will just use my phone as is and root it someday. I am starting to get used to that small crack. lol
So on the 200th time I droped my Amaze, the screen cracked. I have Asurion insurance and filed a claim online and they are sending me another Amaze (for $130). This is fine because I like the phone, my contract is up and I plan to get another phone once I find something I like (most phones out now dont seem like much of an upgrade). I plan to keep the replacement Amaze as a backup and quit paying for the insurance. My question is: do I just need to send the phone back, i.e. can I keep the battery as a spare? Also, I am rooted and S-off running CM10. I dont plan to do anything to return the phone to stock. Is this a bad idea or does it not matter?
so i cracked my screen :crying: does anyone know the most inexpensive and efficient way to fix this? replacement screen? cheap replacement phone? something, i don't want to go through the insurance for $100 anybody, suggestions?

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.

Remember, its $150 now not $100...
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.
okay so i had my phone on the hood of my car and as it says it dropped off my car going around 40 mph from the fair (i had throw up all over me, dont judge me) well i just found it today and everything works except the screen, and there is major cosmetic damage but the funny part is it is only on the front (from the silver forward) does anyone know any place that sells a replacement super amoled screen and glass, and possibly the front frame?

It's not just a digitizer. It's the digitizer, OLED display, and other electronics fused together (almost) permanently.
Home insurance will NOT cover your broken cell phone. Keep dreaming. Try not being so disconnected that you would leave an expensive cell phone on top of your car and not remember it. Beside the point, NEVER put anything on top of a car that you care about.
Always buy everything with Amex. Covered for anything for 90 days.
Sprint Insurance is a complete and utter rip-off.
Surprised homeowners would cover it.
This is why I bought an Otterbox Defender, I rather just invest in a new unsubsidized SGS3. Sell it for parts and use the extra cash towards the new phone.

Home insurance will NOT cover your broken cell phone. Keep dreaming. Try not being so disconnected that you would leave an expensive cell phone on top of your car and not remember it. Beside the point, NEVER put anything on top of a car that you care about.

UNLESS your parents are good friends with the person who manages the local insurance company in your area and they can pull some strings for you.
I have not been able to locate the water damage indicators on this phone. Any idea where they might be hiding?
I discovered that my phone has a large number of dead pixels and an area with red bleeding. I was going to try to do a warranty claim with HTC because wirefly removed my tep when I upgraded. I wanted to check for water damage before I send this thing out just to get it back untouched.
I know this thing hasn't gotten wet but that was the case with my og EVO and those little bastards turned red somehow.
Thanks.

the only way that you can get to the water indicators is to open the phone up. obviously doing that would void your warranty defeat the purpose. just send it in and see what they tell you.
If they can use them to void warranty then at least 1 should be somewhere visible without disassembling the phone and voiding warranty.. Otherwise they can do or say whatever they want.. Just an opinion.. Although I know it doesn't mean much.. Lol

Take this with a grain of salt or two. When I was having issues with my reception, the kid at sprint said I had some sort of build up on some of the components in side. He claimed it was some sort of water damage. I asked him to show me the water damage indicators... He said this phone has none.
