Was in my gym doing a routine and then went outside to do some skipping as its a lovely day and forgot my phone was in my pocket.
Phone falls out and this happens...
Was searching on ebay and found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360471408007?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619#ht_4453wt_1397
Is that what it would need or is there more?

Might be worth investing in a case that protects all the edges of the phone too
I went through 10 pages and then used the search function in ACCESSORIES, i searched for broken screen replacement, replacement screen, screen replacement, cracked screen replacement, smashed screen replacement, new digitizer lcd, new lcd screen etc and nothing came up

maybe you just need a new glass/digitzer...as long as the screen is still good
Its just the glass that is damaged the touch works 100% 0 lag as if nothing had happened etc

I see and how is that compared? Every drop is different, if you have bad luck it falls at a wrong angle and your screens breaks, others like me dropped the phone 5 times on concrete with not a single damage

Isn't the screen glued with the digitizer and the display? If yes it's one unit and hard to replace just the cracked glas

Okey, I join the club with cracked screen! Today I was wathing a movie with my girlfriend and one other friend, and the phone (white one) was laying in the middle of the table when all of us heard a little snap, I watched my phone and the screen cracked from the "return" button to nearly end of the screen! No one even touched the phone when that happened, and the screen wasn't on! It just snapped by itself. Going to call the place where I bought it as the first thing in the morning and ask who is responsible for that!

The LCD underneath is still fine 100% but it's just a crack on the outer screen Sony puts on there.
Any ideas?

(I think that includes the "screen" you are talking about)
actually, the screen (not lcd, the glass that is on the LCD) does not come with the housing.. i think the glass on the lcd is called digitizer

Open case, pull old screen off,clean sticky gunk off, put new screen on , close case

Its not as easy as it sounds, you have to go through the back of the case, your gonna need a torqx 5/6 screwdriver minimum, i dropped mine due to a slight accident. short version, dont drink rum and try to flip your phone looking cool to check the time.
took about 25 minutes to get the phone stripped down fully to replace the screen (replaced the case too, but the screen repair alone requires the strip down)
now i have a nice white x10i

I think I am one of the few that has a High Gloss Candy Apple Red X10 lol. I busted the screen on mine about 2 weeks after getting phone. Instead of paying the 100$ fee through ATT Insurance to replace the phone, I spent 30$ on Amazon for a Pure White X10 Shell. A little bit of paint with an air gun and I was able to customize my own shell

didnt crack screen
I too thought I had cracked my screen cause I dropped it in a parking lot, I was rocking it naked in the rain, lucky for me the cheap rear cover came in handy as it poped off and the battery fell out of the phone the second it hit the ground so it survived with only a few scrapes and what I thought was a hairline crack that that ran down the top of the screen. so i lived with it till i recently got the inspire 4g and gave my girl my x10 but b4 i gave it to her i decided to rip off that old and scrapped factory screen protector and put on a shinny new one along with a few covers to hide my clumsiness and low and behold the screen was PERFECT not a scratch on it. The crack turned out to be nothing more than a very deep scrape in the screen protect that caused the screen to look cracked.
moral of the story is always check to make sure it is really cracked. those factory screen proctors are strong!!!(and a bit of a pain to remove.)

This was dropped out of my pocket as I was getting out of the car... so not even from above waist height!
if you go to ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Teardown/9391/2 you can see it mentions the fact that the screen is a fused unit, will be very hard to get an "unofficial" one.
Looks like a sammy only repair job
Pictures posted. can you view them? just got that photobucket account as I am away from home right now.
I have dropped my old SGS2 and SGS from higher than this and I got a light scratch... this has made me loose ALL faith in the build quality.
How come the front and back got damaged at the same time /?????????????????????
Yeah been looking into getting it fixed. Around 3-400$ for the screen then plus the camera housing... may as well buy new phone. Hence the appeal for bricked devices on here...
Saying that, I dropped mine also getting out of the car... It didn't even scratch, just dented the plastic on the side of the screen.
The worrying thing is, the screen is exactly flush with the bezel and so is not protected at all when it falls - you might have been unlucky on how it landed!

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Maan... today it happened to me. Dropped out of my pocket when I got out of a cab. The screen is ok, just some tiny scratches at the top right (I can live with that), but the bezel looks like crap at the bottom left, that's probably where it hit the ground after the fall, then falling onto the screen where it got the scratches.
Does anyone know whether the bezel can be repaired or replaced? I guess I was lucky, but still... now I have a shiny new phone that's just a few days old... and it looks like... an idiot dropped it.
Just my Own story
I didn't have my SGS3 for 24 hours yet, and I have broken the screen. I use my phone as a alarm clock, the alarm rang in the morning after getting the phone waking me up, I hit the snooze button and went to put the phone back onto the bedside table, about 3-4 feet off the ground, I guess I slightly miss positioned in in my not so awake state, it fell to the ground, I hadn't thought too much about it as I had way worse falls with my SGS2 and never anything, but wen I picked my phone back up I could not believe that there was a big crack across the screen... I thought Gorilla glass 2 would of been much stronger. I'm very disappointed with the durability, I can live with it but every time I look at the unit it just reminds me of how easily that was broken, and it disappoints me all over again, I don't see a big reason to spend the ridiculous amount of money to replace the screen for the one crack across the screen, BUT it sure is a sore thumb.
Overall I'm extremely happy with my Samsung Galaxy SIII but VERY disappointed with the durability. I guess it is also my fault, I was so EXTREMELY satisfied and happy with my SGS2 that wen they released the S3 I just jumped on the occasion to get it and never waited for any reviews and customer testimonials as I would normally do wen considering buying anything, especially something at this price range. I will however learn from my mistake.
I dropped the phone and then..... Everything works fine. Anyone has done the glass replacement?

Did the same thing to my phone
The only difference is that it's the top corner only with a few cracks going down and across the screen.
Haven't found any glass replacement. Sadly with all the looking I've done, the only solution seems to be replacement of the entire front display. Most prices I've seen on eBay and the like were $250+, but I think Samsung will do a warranty repair for $200, not sure as I've not called them myself.
I am going to fix a friend's note and I found out you cannot just pull off the gorilla (panty) glass. You have to replace the LCD and digitzer as a complete unit. There are YouTube videos showing the steps.

You are probably looking at $265 for the digitizer/glass combo. It's a simple repair, but the glass isn't cheap. I'd almost venture to say your best bet is to start hunting around Craigslist and sell your old one for parts. I'm sure someone somewhere has water damaged their phone and needs a new main board.

Sorry to hear about the damage bro but....Dude, no case? Anybody carrying their note around naked is asking for trouble. Cases are cheap, compared to the repair/replacement costs of the Note's s screen.
I have repaired many, many iphones from broken glass to all out dead. Done some Android work as well. One thing I notice is that the replacement screens on most phones either look cheap, feel cheap, are prone to horrible finger printing, digitizers work but only so so, etc.
I busted my hump and found a Defender for mine locally for 30 bux! Repair cost is way too high and I guarantee that the only repair that will feel and work like a Note should, will be factory refurb.
There is no sense in carrying a caseless Note. Trust me, if you break it and have repaired, it will never be the same, unless you can prove the parts that you use are OEM. Another thing to watch is that some of the OEM parts you may find actually turn out to be parts that Samsung themselves rejected for reasons unknown. You will find those reasons out once you put them to use.
Make sure that your source is trusted, or sell your phone on ebay for parts, add a couple hundo's and get fresh unit. Save yourself teh wasted cash, effort and overall PIA!!!! It won't be worth it.
Guess I'm going to put my note back in its case.

That all depends upon one the case and two the angle of the fall .

Agree on this. I never use my phone (s) without case and screen protector. I don't care if it has gorilla glass or not. Another advantage of this is that my phone looks like new even after couple of months.

S3 is a SH!T not phone!

Listen mate....I'm going to put you straight on one point here, so you just accept a few facts.
YOU dropped your phone, not Samsung, not anyone here, accept it and deal with it and take responsibility for your actions......and YES, you do need a case for your car if you are a rubbish driver and keep crashing......see the similarity?
This is what it is made of materials that cell, S1 and S2, so many times I fell down (on the asphalt, the tiles) and it worked, and S3, and the time it collapsed!

Ok,, let me try again......
Every now and then I drop a mug....sometimes they break, sometimes they don't......when they don't I breath a sigh of relief.....when they do break, I kick myself for being so clumsy....I don't start ranting at the manufacturer or posting on forums, because I don't want to look like a complete idiot who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions or carelessness.....do you get it yet?
Mine fell from the second floor (about 10 meters high) and nothing happened. Got to say im lucky and i love my case
Oh and once i was getting out of the car and i forgor i put my phone on my lap and it fell onto the street and u know how asphalt is rough and yet my phone survived without a scratch.
Conclusion: buy a good quality case.
Hell my case doesnt even cover the screen and is just on sides. Guess im luckier than others.

I don't believe in cases, I've had three smartphones and all three are working to date without cases. My first smartphone was the HTC Wildfire and when i first got it i also bought a $10 Hard case for it, one day my friend accidentally kicked the phone out of my hand and on the floor, the case shattered but the phone was intact. Since then I dont use any kind of case on my phones. On the S3 i use an screenprotector and an clear skin protector for the back(because it scratches easily), I have dropped it several times from a height of 1m-1,5m and the phone doesent even have a scratch on it. Either my phone is stronger than yours in some way or I'm just lucky
one of my friend just bought the Z2 recently.. and with our glories summer ~ 40c degree, the back glass has a crack line same like this photo but at the bottom

scary with no explanation yet as there's not a single scratch on the device. quality is BS

As someone from the same city, I find this scary.
Did the Sony people accept his claim under warranty? Or did they just insinuate that he dropped it and refused?
this is ****ing scary.... is it overheat causing this??

he used to shot lots of 4k video.. it could be the gap issue makes the glass unbalance with heat exchange, but haven't notice any gap at the time. it didn't take even three days of use!!
as there is no clarification from Sony.. the defective will count as user fault
another self crack.. and now in the front
So no one else has a crack and you have two....sure you aren't being too rough on the device?
i just sent my z2 to retail for warranty. The front screen maybe unglue near the speaker, i tried to clean them but nothing happen, i'm sure that the front green unglue and the back camera has some dust. i'm very sad, just use z2 for 2 weeks

This is sad really...
Why is it the people doing the complaining have just one post to their name. This started like 3 weeks back. Only one post. You'd think they'd be a bit more worked up right. You read the craziest things on the sony forum.
Have noticed a similar trend on product review sites, for 5 star as well as one star reviews. Just one post and post date is the same as join date and these people are never to be heard from again.
Why does glass break ? either stress or a temperature differential.
Don't cool an overheated phone under the tap. It might 'self crack'.
The most possible reason is overheat.
The water proof phones like z, z1 come with strong adhesive, which expands and then break the glass.
You have to send it for repair or DIY repair.
An original glass can keep the phone waterproof. So you should be careful when select the replacement part for repair.
You can get origianl Sony Xperia phones replacement parts at wirigs.com.
Photoshopped. I can tell by the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
Don't think I've known a set of owners to be so protective over the opinion of their device.
Do you think that there is a conspiracy going on?
Is a fact that most people only turn to the Internet when they have an issue with their phone, so only having one post would be normal.
Mine has a cracked back too.... And I'm not a new poster

could you upload some pic please..
it's definitely an overheat problem so please guys stop covering up for Sony, if this doesn't happen to you now it could be affected by it later
my advice do not shoot lots of 4K video as it happen to be the most process that rise the temp. very high, till Sony resolve the issue stay away of any hot environment

However, Sony released the following statement to Watchdog, highlighting for the first time that there is an issue:
“In a small proportion of cases, screens have indeed cracked with no identifiable cause and in these instances the phone has been repaired for free.”
sight.. Finally, and there are still people who says that's a Photoshop or an impossible to happen without any force
anyone from UK guys.. can you confirm the statement from Sony?
The statement was made on watchdog, now that they have made the statement on such an open outlet, I imagine any returns on cracked screen with zero frame damage will get a repair under warranty. Whether cover is for a single crack or multiple fractures remains to be seen

Took my Z2 back to CPW today after it got a small crack near the camera after i have been using satnav for an hour. Service centre said sony know about the issue and if you cant feel the crack then it will be heat related. I noticed when i took my phone of the dash the gap between the glass and bezel had grown. I think when it strunk down something might of got stuck in the gap and caused the crack.

Mine went back to ee's service centre... They say it's accidental damage. Had to pay £40 to be repaired.
Selling it so had to have it done officially rather than doing it myself.
