I cracked my screen and am not sure if a simple screen replacement will work since the crack extends past the screen and up to the earpiece, so its pretty much the whole height of the phone. How much would it cost to buy the parts to replace them myself (I know I can find a how-to on youtube or google) and do I need to do anything other than replace the screen?
I've also noticed my battery will drain extremely quick and take forever to charge, sometimes a day. Could this have come from damage when I cracked my screen or is it just another thing I need to replace?
Thanks in advance
Is it me? or does the phone in that picture not look like an i777 GS2. Are you in the right forum?

Then why does the back of my phone say "S II" on it?
it's a vibrant of the s2.. you should just ditch that and use the $220 to get an s3 on contract.

Its not what is outside your phone, but what is on the inside that matters. But if you still need confirmation, take off your battery and find the forum that matches your phones real model number (hint: it isnt this one).

The skyrocket guys don't even call their phones an S2 just because it's so different from the i777 and international s2 (completely different internal hardware).

Why the hell would someone change 2 more expensive devices with a less expensive device? Smells like fraud to me, are the iPhones dead, heavy damaged?
I mean even if the iPhones are used but in a acceptable state they have a by far greater value, where I live you could sell each for about 600$ and the galaxy costs about 650$...$$
If they really are in a good state I would take them and buy you another S2 (wouldnt even dare to give mine away) xD
If both iphones are as good as new, then i'll trade my GS2 with you..

Read the rules. No selling or trading outside the marketplace
I had my phone for a lil over a month . its was in perfect condition i had it in a case with a screen protector since i day i got it. then i lost it . i will admit i was a lil drunk when i lost it and for the life of me couldnt find it. So I reported it lost and my insurance replaced it. Well last night my girlfriend comes over and tell me look what i found in back of the couch. So now I have 2 Notes . I want to know it the Note I lost is still good will it work? can i sell it and not get introuble. I know what the right thing to do is. I just want to know if there are any other options.
Unlock the IME# and see if it'll take a different SIM card. If so, then just sell it as an unlocked note. Should bring you decent cash.
On second thought... don't. Um... it's rubbish, just mail it to me. I'll um... take... care... of it.
Unlock it and sell it.

you have seen the articles about the carriers getting together to track, lost, and stolen phones, right? The IME number is like a fingerprint. You use that one, or sell it, and they will find out, and probably find you. Be smart, and tell your insurance, or be stupid, and get nailed for fraud.
Sell it for a quick 500 have the phones lost or stolen will take any aim card trust. I i have connected phones I found with no problem just called at& the and told them I purchased on ebay and they got it going

That's paranoid. If they do find it, all they can do is track it to the person using it. Just sell it on craigslist at a random public meeting place and don't tell the buyer any personal info.

thought you could throw any sim in the phone and it work
when you report lost/stolen they block imei #'s or something?

Unlocked means you can use any sim card. AT&T does not block the IMEI# for whatever reason. I was reading a article about [email protected] being investigated for activating phone that have been reported stolen. I have had phones that i bought for really cheap from people who where kinda shady and im sure they where stolen and t-mobile & AT&T hooked them up with no questions asked.

By the terms of the insurance you are supposed to send it back to them. anything else if f faud and will not be dicussed here
not looking for a fight but wow there are some dishonest d*****bags on xda...
the easy way out is why the world is in the mess it is in...
I was planning on bring my SGS2 to the repair center, since its been giving me so much trouble lately, unfortunatley i dropped it in water before i could get there
As far as i can see there are 2 water indicators on the phone - on the phone itself to the right of the battery, and also one on the battery.
I actually used a Q-tip and bleach and both are no longer red, but are there any more anywhere else on the phone? And are there any other ways they will be able to tell it has water damage?
Are you really asking the forum for help in scamming AT&T for you? Take responsibility for yourself.

O god forbid someone scam ATT!!!!!!:crying: We should all be so careful to treat this honest and ethical company with nothing but respect. They get what they give after all.
Ive been paying for insurance for 2 or 3 years now, have never made a claim, and they raise the deductible for a claim to 200 dollars? Screw you ATT. The phone was faulty before it got water in it. Im saving someone else the trouble of getting this device refurbed, because you know ATT would just repackage this phone and give it to some poor SOB.
Whether AT&T is an evil company or not is not the issue. This is not the forum to be asking for help to scam them or anyone else.

Hey genius, it's only a scam if by flashing a ROM you mess the phone up and then try to get AT$T to replace it. What you are trying to do is get AT$T to pay for your clumsiness. Fine, go right ahead and try, but trying to enlist people in here to be your accomplice in that scam is against the forum rules. This thread is destined to be closed.
Don't even try it. They check more than the indicators. The check corrosion on solder points etc......... they will know.

There is a distinct and significant difference between returning software to stock to enable a user to return the phone for hardware defects that were not caused by the user (failed usb ports, power buttons, etc.) and trying to return a device that was physically damaged by careless use/abuse. The reason deductibles go up is because of this type of behavior.

like i said the phone was failing before it got water damaged. Disagree with you on the second reason. the deductible went up because of ATT's greed. I can outright buy this phone off contract for not much more than their deductible, plus what i pay every month - it doesnt make any sense.

PLEASE RETURN YOUR PHONE... do not accept a phone if is not sealed. thats an used one for sure ....contact tmobile and tell them they sent you a used phone when you paid for a new one ...

every one of us has our own preference about build quality. me i want it just like the way they advertise the device. money doesn't grow on trees.
it doesn't matter if you use case it will not make the gap disappear, it will be there and you know it. and if you're ok with a minor defective device well that's fine with me, that is your device not mine. i just want my earned money to be worth spending on the device.

operating system can be fix by updates.. it is actually zero gaps because it is a unibody device.. everything need to be flawless. people care because they want their money to be worth on spending.what if that gaps will get worse its getting older? what are you gonna do? send it to htc to get it fix? if you are ok with you device with minor issue then that is fine.sharing this to anyone who care not to anyone doesn't care.

Ummm... Pretty sure most carriers ship in open boxes - how else do you think they get the required SIM card in there? All phones I've ever gotten from T-Mobile, going all the way back to the Sidekick II, were just sealed with a sticker.

And Sprint didn't even use SIM cards back then.

Yeah it's a great phone. If you are a grandma with Alzheimers and don't know what rooting is. I have it. I use it to lure theives into my place so I can shoot them. I post pictures on Craigslist of it sitting on my front door step. so far Ive had a dog knock my trashcan over... no way to root it man. they've had scientists working on it for months. so far. we've found that Verizon stuck a big FU on it and then charged $770 for and then just for fun they call to remind you that there are companies such as straight talk that charge a fraction of the price and your bill is due. if you can't pay. too bad you can't take your s6 edge plus to another company cuz they love you so much and if you look at that other phone they will slap the piss out of you in public. basically you bought an overly insecure girlfriend in the form of a phone. but hey at least you can't expand the memory with a micro sd right?! I couldn't trade it for a rock being dropped on my foot. ENJOY!
Lol you are hilarious. I bought the phone for 350, its just gorgeous. Would have loved the root which I miss. However its a steal at 350 given the hardware stupendous phone, display, style and camera unmatchable in the hardware section. I bought it unlocked so I can use it anywhere

Lol you are hilarious. I bought the phone for 350, its just gorgeous. Would have loved the root which I miss. However its a steal at 350 given the hardware stupendous phone, display, style and camera unmatchable in the hardware section. I bought it unlocked so I can use it anywhere
Hope Verizon unlocks bootloader soon... Cheers...

Yeah I have been hoping for a while. actually I do have a question concerning it and not sure who to ask. If i were to swap the logic board with say a t mobile one would I be able to root it? I know this would basically make it t mobile phone but then i could root it. I found one craigslist for 100. not too hard to do either. I've replaced the screens on a bunch of galaxy phones. and not the cheap two sided tape either but the UV glue and all.
Apparently Verizon S6 Edge variant already has a working root. Dont know why Plus model doesnt have. Looks to me that given it was expensive not many experts bought it and hence no root as developers and experts didnt buy it maybe.

Yeah you may have a point there but man am I hoping you're wrong. especially with the note 7 coming out at $100 more than the s6 edge plus. I will say the one thing that I have been upset not to see is the 16mp camera lately. it seems backwards as heck and I think some of the designers are smoking their own bath water at samsung... I can see the board room meeting now. "I have the absolute best idea ever! let's put a bad ass camera on this thing and then we'll throw away the micro SD slot so you can really only get a picture of Samsung waving and smiling! And then after everyone complains about it we'll bring back the SD slot and the S7 will come stock with a permanent bootloop animation of us flipping them off!" and then the CEO says "genius! and let's not bring back the big screen either. because the dumb asses who buy the s6 edge plus and get use to the big phone will then get the s7 and because it's smaller will drop it. leaving little pieces of glass all over the US and cutting the bastards feet. Get to is boys! next a I want to come out with a 3 in 1 laptop. first you have a tablet mode and then of course the laptop, but then randomly a baseball bat comes out an beats the living hell out of the user. The US will fall just like the south fell to the yankees when they introduced Twinkies and mobile homes."

im new at this whole thing. ive been trying for weeks and even months to try and find info on rooting this dang phone. So, it cant even be rooted with the bootloader unlocked?
Looks like. Mostly because not many people bought it because it was expensive and developers also didn't buy it. I'm sure it's easy for any seasoned developer to root it. But I don't know anyone. Anyways very happy for a price I bought it 350 bucks unlocked.

its unlocked? Bootloader is unlocked? or is the OEM unlock toggle checked in DEV options, some will assume because that's checked that its unlocked, Sorry to Burst your bubble but All premium phones at Verizon are unlocked for international use, meaning you can use other sim cards in them But I doubt the Bootloader is Unlocked from verizon
I'm gonna be buying a temp phone soon so I will be able to send mine to a dev if anybody is interested in trying to crack this device.
You got it.

I need root too.. i want to remove verizon screen when startup..
Even Verizon galaxy s7 has been rooted by the community. I don't think we can get root unless any big developer buys this. Till then enjoy the hardware and pray we might get root and better software experience :laugh:
