I unfortunately just broke my glass, and was looking online and to replace the glass it it's fairly cheap which is good but I'm only seeing n7100 kits. All the models are identical from what I've seen but just wanted to make sure. has anyone else had to do this and if so have the found a VZW branded glass or will any model work. Thanks in advance for the help.
I can't answer your specific question, but I can tell you that this is a very difficult job. I wouldn't attempt it unless you have some prior experience disassembling smartphones and separating the glass from screen.
Taking it apart isn't the issue just want to make sure that the n7100 glass will fit the Verizon note 2

Yep, they're all the same !
Be sure to swap out that ugly home button while you're down there. Good luck !
just curious found a screen/digitizer set up but it's for the Sprint model. I dont think it should be an issue but trying to make sure before I pull the trigger. Thanks for the help

So I'm not sure if this has already been asked but do all cases fit all the variants of the S3? I'm not sure if that made sense...but yeah.

It's the exact same body, so yes, any case you buy, whether it's for the International version or the American or Korean version, it will fit.

What about screen protectors? The ones I got don't really stick around the edges because it kind of curves.
Anyone find any good ones?

Dry/static cling protectors don't work on the curve, only wet application protectors can follow the curve, and therefore cover the whole screen.

That sucks, I hate those protectors. And getting this puppy wet?? I don't know, lol.
Thanks, I was hoping for a different answer. Lol

Hi everyone,
I'm considering moving from a Note 2 to an S3. I love my note but it feels a bit large and cumbersome.
On researching the S3 I noticed a number of threads (mainly from last year) about the prevalence of the bezel on the S3 cracking in various places (under the volume and power buttons, by the micro usb port etc.)
I was wondering how widespread these issues were. Do all S3's inevitably suffer from them or are there people out there who have had their S3 from release day with no issues?
Thanks all.
Shouldve asked in those threads, and in the correct section not to clutter up the forum
Mine isn't cracked but my gfs couisins is in 3 places but I think that's from being dropped

Its a common problem. Its purely cosmetic.

How long have you had yours for?
@rootSU I appreciate it's only cosmetic but seeing as the only straightforward way to replace the bezel is by replacing the screen too it's not really something I'd take a risk with. On the note 2 the bezel can be unclipped and replaced for ~£10.
You know the problem exists and now you know its fairly common. If this is a concern, avoid the s3

About 8 months til my crack appeared at a guess btw. Its annoying and means I'll probably never be able to sell. I would avoid now if I'd have expected this problem

all depends on the price
Mine is cracked near volume racker. It is only cosmetic. Don'n think it is selling problem for those want to sell it and those want to buy used device.

I wouldn't buy one with a cracked bezel. I can only ever judge a situation by my own standards. So if you would buy one, then I guess you're the same

what about a dented/scuffed bezel? (i have the same thought process as you regarding re-selling)
Anything that clearly makes it look damaged really.

A lot of people buy damaged phones like this to save money
My white S3 that I bought in August 2012 got a crack by the Micro-USB port... doesnt bother me since i have a case on it anyway

Selling a damaged phone gets me less money than a phone is worth to me. You may aswell give up. You'll never get me to sell my phone cheap to you.
But who would buy a phone knowing that there's a chance its resale value will half due to cosmetic faults? They don't get it cheap on the off chance it breaks.
If I knew I could only resell this phone at half its second hand value, I would never have bought it

I'm with you to be honest. I cannot stand buying something that is already visibly damaged and before buying anything second hand I scour the device looking for marks and scratches - even the lightest ones.
I'm still sat on the fence at the moment wrt the bezel. Does anyone thing newer s3's might be better constructed, and I assume there are people who have had their s3 from launch and have had no issues with bezel cracking whatsoever?
For those that use cases what kind of cases cover the bezel? I'm not a huge fan of cases particularly because of the bulk they add, but if there is a slim case available it would at least be a solution of sorts should the bezel ever crack for me.
I recently bought an alu case. Its the only one that covers the crack. It wont prevent the cracking though
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
2 SGS I9300 here and both of them have about 2-3 cracks on the bezel.
My white S3 is still perfect, I keep it in official Samsung Protective Cover or the Slim one.
I am very careful when I insert headphones or usb charger not to scratch the phone.
Its more to do with expansion and contraction than not being careful

Ordered these two from Amazon. Made by a company named INVELLOP and they were only $2 each... Just wanted something to cover it while I debate a more substantial case...
Now if tomorrow would come sooner so my Note 3 can be delivered!!

Yes it must have a magnet, unless some devs make an app to activate the s-view with the proximity sensor.
They dont have the Propper Note 3 Screen Protectors Yet here in Bahrain, this is how mine looks right now.,.
Hello everyone this will be my first post on here I haven't really posted anything because most of my answers I find them on the search bar. But I haven't really found a solution to this problem. Well here is the story my friend found this sprint note 3 completely broken had no battery no stylus. It does have a bad imei, but I like to fix phones so she give it to me. I bought a verizon digitizer with frame and stylus I also bought a battery. Put it all back together but the cell phone wont power up I was wondering if any of you had any advice to what it could be? One are of the phone does gets really hot when plugged in the one with the green sticker. I was also wondering what arw the gold pins sticking out thanks.
Did she find it outside? I'm thinking along the lines of untraceable water damage.... shame, would have been one heck of a come up!!!

Bump
Someone gave me a SGS5 with a cracked rear camera lens. I replaced the lens and made sure I really cleaned the camera but it has these 3 brown shadows. They are small but very annoying. So I ordered a new camera.
My question is has anyone replaced one before and how hard is it?
TIA for any replies.

It's easy. It's only connected by a ribbon cable I believe, should be a quick 10 minute job.

Thanks but while replacing the screen I jacked up the digitizer. I can't believe I did that. I'm looking on line and the cheapest I can find is $125 . I can buy a whole used one for that much or less if I get lucky. Guess I'll be using it for parts now. Thanks for the reply anyway.
