So I left my precious Galaxy Note on the back on my dads truck, the car that he will only drive 10% of the time, and then today he drives it. I go out to get my phone and realize he took the truck. I was like "OHHHHHHH *swear words*!!!!!!!!!"
I went out and looked for it and found it on the side of the rode face down with the screen protector off. I had a simple flip case on it, but I wasn't able to find that.
I am ultra sad right now, but there is a lot of hope.
A strange thing is that the battery was still in it and the back of the phone had absolutly no scratches on it.
I turned it on and I could hear little startup sounds like the new gmail message one
So I guess that is good, but I still have this broken screen .
So the reason I am posting this is because I want to know if I can get it fixed with a kit or something. I am assuming I have to get the LCD and polarizer because the screen is cracked into little bits as the picture showed, and I can pick out each of those bits pretty much.
So much for gorilla glass
Gorilla glass is not for a phone dropping off a moving car....
Also p.m. me I have a spare backing for the note brand new

wait, you left the phone on the back of his truck.....you say that like its normal like one would put it on their dresser or something. So you normally leave your phone in the garage on a vehicle?
Looks like someone ran over it. too many impact points on the glass from pressure applied, rather than the initial smack on the ground.

Yay, I am kind of thinking that too, but the back of the phone is completely perfect.

The rubber of a tire running over the side with the battery aint gonna cause a lot of damage scratch wise... the part facing the concret is another story.

I installed an XO Skins screen protector to Evo 3d a few hours ago, and after turning it on for the first time I find this:
I have no idea how this happened, considering I was very careful in not letting much/any of the soapy water get onto the sides of the phone.
I've installed multiple Invisible Shields on other phones/devices in the past, which is a very similar install procedure, so I know how to do it right.
Anyway - Is this LCD or Digitizer damage?
Is there any chance it will just dry out?
Thanks
Update: I checked how it looks after 36 hours in the rice - much better, but now I think the screen is permanently damaged.

There are small bright white dots when the screens turned on. They can be mostly washed out by bright screens, but still visible. I put it back in the rice...
I would try hitting it with the hair dryer and speed up the dry time.

Use cold air setting on it not the heated one,to much heat on wet boards isn't good.
brought to you by the little voices in my head
I emailed XO Skins and they recommended I leave the phone in a bowl of rice for 2-3 days. I doubt it will do anything; I doubt anything will help it dry, but I'm hopeful...
Rice works. I've dropped phones in toilets and it saves them.
Who cares we got s-off jk

Rice does work wonders. You wouldn't think but it does.
But... If its even ever so slightly less then how it was I would go all out and try to get them to cover a replacement. That's messed up.
Are We Not Phones?
We Are D3VO!
Are we not phones?!
3.DeE.V.O.!!
The XO Skins rep also said that the lcd screens should be sealed from the factory, so what happened to my screen should be impossible unless the phone was completely submerged. I don't blame XO Skins, although the install was kind of a ***** to get it just right.
Seems to be permanently damaged.. See op
Wow what a great 24 hours as far as the ICS and Camera updates. Its almost a new tablet.......
My issue is the following. I received my Prime last Thursday from Best Buy. No issues really other than.....GPS. I don't know what happened but I saw that down by the dock mounts on the left side that the metal piece that lays above the connection and secures the glass is missing or broke. I have no other broken pieces or anything. I am post img a pic yes for advice if I should send it back or not. I probably should but geez it just is getting good lol.

I guess you meant chipped Piece. not Price
Omg lol send it back! Think about the resell value, dude
Yea, get it replaced.
If I'm looking at you're picture right then you are talking about the rubber pieces on either side of the dock connector?
Those need to come off to be able to use the dock.
There is a thin strip of metal right above the rubber pads and somehow that thin piece broke off. I'm getting an RMA. I was just being stupid.
Mr. Giggles: This based on many other threads I've seen you in. Why do you have to be such a jerk to everyone? Its easy to be mean but harder to be nice.
Thanks for the input.

Thin strip of plastic to be precise sir. I would be surprised if they actually replace this under RMA, it does kinda look like you were just a bit rough with it yourself.
Swear to goodness I didn't do a thing to it. I've had it since last Thursday. I guess it's form and the way things sort of roll under the bezel made me not notice it. I couldn't figure out why my screen was a little loose. Then I found this. I guess it is what it is. I got the RMA and spoke to Asus and told them about light bleed and GPS along with screen and crack. I'm just gonna hope for the best. However, no, I never dropped it.
Finally swapped back to Android yesterday and bought the S3. After playing with it for a bit I noticed a very loud creak on the back of the phone where the volume rocker is. Took off the back plate and it's actually the phone making this noise. Took it back to Verizon and the associate there pulled out another phone to show it was normal and just wanted to see how true this was. Searched around and couldn't find much on here so sorry if this has been asked. Here's a picture to show the area in question.

no such issue for my S3 and the 3 other S3s that I have played with.
My international version has the same thing. The gap between the battery cover and the bezel is slightly more than the rest of the phone. Doesn't bother me enough to try an exchange, took this one long enough to get here.

Yeah, maybe mine would make that noise if I push there or whatever. But I never heard it and I have a case on my smartphone. Im going to keep a case on it to protect it anyway from falls. I wouldn't care even if I heard something though.
I just checked with my flip cover and it is more flush. Could just be some battery covers, maybe all of them but the flip cover fits perfectly.

My last three phones have been HTC phones..... I'm used to the creeking...... But no I don't have that on my GS3.

Mine creaks like billy-o. I'd send it back if I could be arsed with the hassle of getting my data off and back on again.

Got a little creek down where the usb connector is. It made that sound every time i pressed home. hehe.
but a small piece of ducktape fixed that Just stick it to the phone and put the cover ontop and the sound is gone
Don't know if this is the same but in The Netherlands users a reporting cracks:

Thought I would post this as I just brought one..
My Screen died yet again. after only having it in for service about March. Mind you it was here in Asus China.. so...
Anyway, It was giving me the dreaded black screen no turn on type thing, Plus a few of the other characteristics that have been documented in the Katkiss thread of late- Corrupted partition.
After the last battle with it, I ended up with a full strip on the left hand side about 50mm that is unresponsive.. nothing that you can do on the touch side of things, but mouse still works. Anyway.. wasn't going to send it back. as its not worth the aggravation of dealing with the idiots at the Asus aftersales service. So went and brought the Nexus 10.. Loving it..
but for project decided to look for another LCD screen and came across this seller with the full frame for sale.. so its about $US65.. so its my weekend project.. as Dam.. with Katkiss JB4.3 around.. I just want to play with it on the TF101.. Just not ready to let this thing die as yet.
I will update the post once i get it up and running.

Well, its back up and running..not with out a few tense moments..
The picture you see is NOT what you get..as no frame..they **** you on that..
Which I found out to my detriment.. As I order the full set thinking that I wasn't going to have screw around with the glue thing..
it turned out it turned up and I was...what the...

As I had ready been watching videos so kinda knew what to do..
Anyway as it comes glued already..how the .... Are you suppose to screw the LCD panel in..
Derrrrrrr...can't unless you do some strange but thing..and or bend the brackets around..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Anyway..
Not to be deterred.. I got out the trusted plastic tools and went about separation of the screen from the LCD panel...new one...as I already had got the old one off with no drama..and cleanly.
Note..make sure you know which you are separating..as I found out the hard way that I was actually separating the gorilla glass from the touch screen...were wondering why it was so dam hard...plus one hell of a mess..
Lucky the original was still in good order so I finally was able to separate the new LCD panel and clean it up..
I almost gave up..but pushed through..it wasn't going to beat me.. plenty of man handling going on..I put it all back together...yeha..
Mind you I wasn't thinking that it was going to crank up as I was man handling the LCD panel pretty heavily ...but up popped Tims little mascot and 4.2.2 fired right up...sign of relief..
So straight to 4.3 I have came and its powering along...too good to be true..
Thanks Tim...and others that have ported the 4.3..
Of course I have a few more creaks from around the edges And a little light bleed on the left hand side but as I was lucky that the double sided tap from the original glass was still sticky and usable..
Will let it settle in and put it thru its passes and see how it goes before I pull it apart and pop some silicon in there..

Will edit post later with the YouTube links used.
If you do it, the Russian video is the best to use to strip it down but there are a few little steps it miss's
Thus the other two come in handy.

Where did you find the full frame with the LCD for $65? I currently have the same problem with my tf101. And would love to replace it. Right now its just a paper weight.
Disregard, I got all excited a quick Google search lead me to one on amazon. Thank you for the tutorial I will follow once mine gets in and I'll report back!

Do you play a lot of games or hold the device in landscape often?
I'm just spit-balling here, but.. could be oil from your palm penetrating the stock screen protector? or between stock and your screen protector?
Maybe it was there from the start but I never noticed it. Haven't played any games on it or had my finger there.
I really wonder what it is and why you can only see it when breathing on it, when I wipe it clean its really hard to see.
How easy is it to remove the ASF?

I would think it is the coating on the screen protector as well.
As for removing the stock protector, it can be done but by all accounts you will feel like committing suicide halfway through. there is a guide somewhere on here
Well, the thread can be closed because I destroyed the phone :good:
Time to get a new one and put on a screenprotector asap.
what, why, how?
removing the anti shatter layer? if so what's wrong?
I have got the exact same thing with my phone

My cats had went haywire in the kitchen so I slipped on the floor and the phone went flying. I laughed because it was so stupid. This is the second time this happens in the kitchen.. anyway, I will order a new one tonight.
I should probably be sad and stuff but for some reason Im not.
Good to know you also have it though, so that I wont be bothered on the new unit
