Last night a buddy knocked my phone out of my hand and cracked the digitizer just wondering if anybody knows any good deals on where to get it fixed? Ccalled sammy and they said i have to send the phone in just to get a estimate on the fix which im guessing is around 200 bucks if anybody has any ideas or any good places to get it fixed please let md know

Anywhere you go it's going to be about 200 afaik. You might as well send it to Samsung if you have a backup phone to use in the meantime, because then you know the repair will be top quality.

I used this site. It only took 4 days for them to ship to me. I didnt have any insurance because I actually found the smashed phone on the ground. The screen and digizter on their site actually comes with a bezel too, so you dont have to peel the AMLOED off your current bezel. Everything else I have seen online sells with no bezel
otherwise stolen jk but seriously .....but jk

heheh, true story. I actually witnessed an irrate customer storm out of the telus store and smash the phone on the ground, to my disbelief it was a galaxy note. Samsung wouldn't fix it for me when I sent it in because i had actually opened it to see if there was any other damage.
Im pretty sure samsung charges 200 to replace it but it takes a few weeks

I just bought a "Like New Mint" condition atrix off ebay. The seller is a power seller with a 99.6% rating.
I opened the box and had it unlocked and aura 1.1.3 installed before it even finished its first boot.
After fooling with it for a bit, I came to realize there is a dead row of pixels on the screen a half inch thick spanning across the top of the screen....
I already sent an email to the seller and awaiting a reply...
Justvwanted to know if anyone knows another way I can fix this. Could I copy the pds from my other atrix?
Man this blows, since I just ordered an unlock code for that imei as well.
I'm too on the ball and gotta slow down I think lol
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

You didn't just sell it on ebay did you?
Solid...Does the touchscreen work in that area or were you unable to boot. If you can't get your cash back, my guess is it took a fall or it passed through an xray machine maybe. New digitizer wouldbe my first thought. Is it there when you fast boot?
Just had the same problem with mine; looks like it's the digitizer.
I flashed back to Bell 2.2.2 (bl and all), restored PDS backup, factory reset, etc and no fix. Sent it back to moto for repair and they told me it was due to water damage (which I think is BS; as I've never had it any where near water.. even made sure to take it out of my pockets before taking a shower to avoid steam).
Got my Atrix around March 20th, so it would have been one of the first run and my buddy who works at a Bell store said he'd seen a couple come back already.
Luckily I had the insurance, so I gave it some real water damage and had it replaced...

They offered to refund the price of a new digitizer or shipping to ship it back. I took the price of a digitizer, and now have a $27 digitizer ordered from ebay. Please tell me im not crazy... I kinda have a bad feeling about this.

It if you guys are comparing your order statuses you'll go crazy. There's 3 different ways to check stauses and premier versus regular accounts. it's just not worth the stress. Most everyone with a few exceptions will get them friday.

my dad's got a samsung dumbphone and doesnt even care.....boy, the next 2 days are gonna feel the longest ever! me cant wait friday afternoon!!!
So after recently dropping my new rezound in water, I now have a camera-less phone. I have already since purchased a new rezound because I cannot live without the camera, however, I was just looking for some suggestions on what to do with the old unit? Sent it in and have the camera repaired ($$$???), in hopes that I can recoupe some of my new expenses by selling a "once wet" phone on eBay? Sell it with the broken camera? Use as a "test unit" for hw/sw mods? Just curious as to what others would do? Thanks...
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
A sleazy person would buy a new rezound and put the broken rezound in the box then return it...
Just sayin'.
I would definitely use it as a test unit and to play around with. That's what I'm doing with my Inc, use it on WiFi for games, Google Voice, etc. It's good to have a second device to screw around with.

Maybe you could find a bricked rezound and try swapping out the image sensors. Then you could catch hd video of the bullets you'll be shooting at it.

Didn't take long to go from broken camera to fetishes to aggression. Odd connecting lines going on there.
Just thought i would share my experience.
My charging port has been acting funny for a week or so. Last night it wasn't working at all. I called customer care to find out about a repair as I didn't want to exchange it. They told me about a warranty center not to far from me.
I took it in this morning, they looked it over and decided they couldn't repair it. So they gave me a brand new one. The lady saw cm10 and allowed me to put it back to stock so i wouldn't get charged.
AT&T customer service has come a long way in the years since I first had the service.

I had a very pleasant experience earlier today too. My situation is different cause I've only had my phone for a few days, but I had some stuck pixels & they exchanged it for a flawless one cheerfully & with no questions asked. Very impressed with AT&T so far, especially after all the bad things I've heard about them

They replaced mine for the cracks, then the next two for screen blobs. I handled everything over the phone. When asked if it was dropped I let them know it was a documented issue. They contacted Samsungwhile I waited on hold, Samsung confirme and att came back on the line and processed the exchange.

Yep I agree, but I like nerding it up here also, except I don't have as much time as I used to. I'm definitely waiting for the note 3, my note will be 20 months around the speculated time of release so I'll be signing on another 2 year plan with AT&T . I just hope they don't go overboard with the note 3 size.
