[Q] What does a bricked phone look like? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hi guys,
I bought a SGS4 the other day for $300 used. It came in the mail and it doesn't seem to work. I want to take it to Verizon to get a warranty replacement, but I'm afraid whatever is wrong with it was caused by the previous owner doing something that voided the warranty. Worst case scenario is I have to pay another $99 and use Asurion to replace it which I'm totally willing to do. Basically it turns on, but the LCD doesn't, only the backlight. It also gets super hot super quickly. I doubt it's bricked, I'm guessing water damage or the LCD went bad.

Take out the battery, put it back in, hold down volume and power, what happens?

If you think it's water damage check the sensors. And did you buy it with the impression that it was working 100% and nothing was wrong with it?

And I'm guessing you didn't buy it on ebay either. You take that risk when you don't do that or meet in person. You got scammed this time.

I dropped my Note

So to make a long story short my note fell out of my pocket today while I was helping out at a fundraiser car wash. No major damage done but just a small nick and scratch on the top right corner on the screen and outside. The actual functionality of the phone is fine and I can probably live with it but this small damage is going to eat away at me. So I want to know if I call att and complain about something wrong with my phone will they replace it? I have ensquared insurance and I don't want to use my $75 deductible yet.
And I've had the phone for over 30 days too

That's what sucks, I had the portfolio case on it because it was a gift, but I've been holding out for an otterbox case because I have a $50 coupon.
I think I might take the plunge because with my Atrix I had a legit issue that couldn't always duplicate but the speaker part was dented plus was unlocked and I was able to swap phones

First of all I was heading up the car wash to raise money for kids to go to a summer camp. I actually brought my atrix with me to swap sim cards but I left it in my car parked across the street. While running across the street it feel out of my pocket. Big picture I am grateful that no major damage was done but also that we all should be mindful how big this phone is and how easy it is to forget. Either way I've decided to just ride it out because any case that wraps around the phone will cover it up.

I cracked my screen I believe by sittiing on on it while in my back pocket. I called Samsung and they would replace the screen fro $197.00. Since I have a Square Trade warranty, I caledl and they could not fix the display so they gave me the full cost to replace it minus $49 decuctible.

Warranty on charger?

wsup guys. my USB charger just broke for my Rezound. I was wondering if there was any sort of warranty on those that Verizon (or Amazon, since I bought the phone through them) would honor?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
good lord, what in the hell did you do to that poor thing? lol
That looks like physical damage to me and would not be covered anyway.
I would take this one as a loss and just buy a new one. They are cheap.
Should be a year. Depending on who you talk to... Amazon might have to take care of it, but when I talked to Verizon about Amazon and issues like this, they always told me to just go into the store and have it replaced. The warranty on it is 1 year, just like your phone, battery and memory card.
Note that if you purchase a separate charger, you're bound by that warranty, though usually a year, you might have to mail it to someone.
Just tell them... as long as its the truth... I tried to pull the cable out of the phone, and the connector stayed lodged inside the phone's USB connector.
It's a cable, and costs them nothing to have them made. My company sells cables similar to this for $16 and they cost us a buck to have made. The markup is ridiculous.
They are pretty cheap or any Blackberry Charger or other Droid Charger works. They prob wont warranty that.

That is surprising to me. Mine has flown off my lap on onto the street when getting out of the car, fell out of my coat pocket onto the ground, dropped it from a ladder while painting, and dropped it numerous times at home on the floor. Never broke or cracked or nothing. I have a case but never use it. This phone is nice and slim, the case made it too damn bulky.
If you're going to toss it I'll take it. It would be a good experiment phone.
Orrrr if you want to fix it

I'm just really surprised to see so many DNA breaks from dropping it. In fact I have never cracked a screen, knock on wood. My old Droid Razr was pretty durable too. Now my daughters ipod touch broke if you looked at too hard, haha JUNK
The DNA is supposed to have triple gorilla glass too. I wonder if some of these are refurbished with fake junk digitizers? The screens should not be shattering that easily.

I had to get a replacement for my DNA, which came with the OTA, due to battery issues. I was looking forward to getting a phone with the old software and when the replacement came it had the old OS; but that had to go back due to the power button being concaved, so it was flush with the top, blown speaker and a dead pixel; and this was how it came out of the box! (100+ point inspection my a$$). The next replacement came and it too had the old software but wouldn't connect to WiFi. I received the third replacement yesterday and it was perfect, but the OTA was pre-installed. Hope you get not only the old software version but also a workable phone.

You can keep it, but don't sell it. When you report your phone lost, the carrier gives it a bad ESN.

well i suppose so yes it could be outside of the boundaries of the insurance agreement but i pay a subsidy and an insurance fee for a reason. I could claim the phone was stolen swap the motherboards and sell the broken unit to cover the insurance premium but i wont be doing that. I see no harm no foul. They will be recieving a perfectly functional peice of hardware in the exact condition I reported during the claim... to each his own though
If you swap the motherboard you will be converting the new Dna to the old esn that you just reported lost... So you are just giving yourself a bad esn. Lol
Also its fraud but whatever you want to do

Didn't I post a link with a video? It seems really easy to fix, that's why I wanted it. I even put an ad on craigslist. If you report it lost or stolen you could always "find it again" and they can reverse the bad ESN. My cousin bought a bad ESN phone from ebay. Verizon ended up calling the original owner and he went ahead and released it, they made the ESN good again. I don't know all the details but that's what he told me, sometime last year.
Hmm options, how much will it cost? Since the phone has to be sent away and cracked open anyway, buy the digitizer and send it to be jtagged, 2 birds with one stone. It might cost you a little more but you will be golden in the end. Fixed phone and S-off.

Has anyone recently received a replacement from Asurion?

I'm thinking of sending my current MDK phone to Asurion for a replacement because of some scratches on the housing and screen but since the phone is about 7-8 months old I'm scared they'd send me an updated replacement
So I'd thought I'd try and ask here. Thanks for any replies

OP - You will get an updated phone.
If MDK is of value, you are now off the ranch and need to go have someone replace the screen for you.
For the amount of the deductible ($100) someone can replace the screen.

The way I read the asurion person is they will send you a s4. If you get it and its not what you want (mdk). Send it back and cancel. What have you got to lose.

Yeah i have an MDK S4 on Swppa.com and there are a few more with MDK. The problem with getting someone to replace the glass is a lot of times they are just tempered glass not gorilla glass. Also, the heat needed to get the glue to release from the digitizer isn't good for the other components, so to do it right you need to take all of the components out. If the digitizer is also bad then you're looking at roughly $180-$220 to replace it and the glass.

How do you even install this ? Just wondering for future reference hopefully not anytime soon...... But does the thing that hold it in place just gets pushed in there ? how will you take the old one out ? Or do you have to take the whole phone apart, Making the phone not being waterproof anymore which basically will be pointless since that is the whole point of this lol

Well no, but what other choice do you have? The bright side is it's only $5. I mean, the only other option is to get a wireless charging sticker (which breaks the water resistance anyway), or a real samsung wireless charing back cover. Both are more expensive than just replacing this flap every 2-3 months. I'm pretty disappointed in Samsung if this is truly the case though.

I hope I won't need to replace it though. A $700 phone shouldn't need the user to replace a part every 2-3 months. The GS1 (att captivate) had a sliding door that never broke in 3 years of use. Maybe samsung should have done that.

Just to let you know, tmobile would have replaced it, but don't go that route. They send refurbished phones that are more than likely to have more problems than your original phone.

Yea, I don't want a refurb. I have done that before with them and it was ok, but my phone was a year old. This one is too new!

How many people are having this issue? Sure hope mine isn't problematic like this. I'm getting an OtterBox Preserver case so i might just remove that cover to make it easier to plug in the charger plug. but then again, if the case were to ever fail, it would be nice to have that extra protection guarding the device.

So far, there's been 2 reports. One in this thread (obviously), and one in the accessories section. I've only had mine for about a month, so I guess that's why my flap is still fine. Hopefully it will stay fine though.
I found this for you guys. I'm definitely downloading this YouTube video for later use. I always seem to find youtube videos that have been removed when i actually need them lol

Hey guys. My phone is about two Months old our so and my charger port cover is already not staying shut good. I'm thinking about getting a wireless charging setup, but was trying to avoid it because of the cost. Anyone else having this issue?
Also what wireless setups is everyone running?

When you say broken off, it's actually detached from the phone or just loose?

What a bad design. The phone is barely two months old
