It got a few scratches even when I was putting it on screen, blacks are not black anymore and touch responsiveness drastically dropped. I bought it from ebay because it seemed to be the best choice. Can I get a geniuine or tempered glass replacement for my s3?
Yes, take it to a reputable repair shop. Anything on ebay is suspect.

My only choice is Samsung, and they say it's 200 dollars. Can't I do something about it myself?

The problem seems to be the glue, There is a space between the screen and the glass, thus making it look worse and the touchscreen issues. Do you know anywhere I can find this kind of glue?
The problem is you've bought a £3 screen replacement kit, which is obviously complete rubbish. Either pay someone to do the right job with the right parts, or live with the rubbish.

My phone has a spider web shape crack look on the screen. Phone is fully functional. Phone calls and data are fine too. I have no insurance. Any ideas on what I should do? I suppose I can get a free 3gs and use that until contract expires. Or pay $500 upfront for a new atrix too.

Just spend $40 on Ebay and get a new glass.
Get a replacemnt glass and fix yourself or get one used off craigslist.
I voided my warranty.

I've replaced my glass twice - it's pretty easy.
Here is the place I bought it from:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180688922991
and there are videos on ebay that are very detailed on the process
If you decide you don't want to repair it, let me know how much you want for it.

Yes it's really easy. There's tons of tutorials (video and ifixit instructions) I'll admit that the ifixit instructions make it look scary, lol. I'd just follow the video.
Thanks guys. I bought one from ebay for $32 and shipping from nyc. Gonna give it a crack. Pun intended.

UPDATE!
I borked my phone. I tore off the the orange triangle shaped ribbon thing. Like the other guy did. (I think it's the guy from Brazil or something.)
One of these?

I had mine broken a couple weeks ago. I searched on Craigslist inside service for ppl that replaces screen and it costed me $95 to have the screen replaced with a brand new one original one and I can't tell that it was ever replaced. It took them 1hour from the time I dropped of to get the service done.

I ebay'ed that part before and thought I could buy that too, but I'm on the fence about going through repairs again. It looks easy enough to replace the orange triangle though.
Hi! Unfortunately i dropped my phone and now it has huge cracks all over the screen. Do you think samsung covers for accidents like this?
Yes, ask them and you should get a new one, with a spare for next time you drop it too (saves on postage costs).

As above, insurance or repair as it was your own fault.

Yesterday I cracked my phone screen when I dropped it. Not massively bothered given it's barely visible, and I'm not that impressed with the s3 generally anyway, BUT - do you think the screen is now MORE fragile with the crack if I were to drop it again, or LESS as with a crack there is now less tension on the glass?
I don't know but I wouldn't recommend you find out.

Another cracked screen thread? Couldn't you have posted in one of the many other threads discussing cracked screens instead of creating a new one? Or are you just so special that your cracked screen warrants it's own thread? :silly:

Yep spot on.
I would say more fragile. Its like a plastic bag, once you start a rip its very easy to continue it without sizzors and it rips clean, just get a good case or try your best not to be clumsy

get a different phone if your not that impressed with it. good idea to insure a phone like this in the first place.

Yeah it's insured. Not worth paying the excess to get it fixed though. Maybe when I sell it.
It IS worth the excess. :banghead:

What's the point if paying monthly insurance charges if you don't use you insurance when you damage your phone ?
Just wanted to know how much I can sell it for to get closer to the cost of getting the note II. How much would you guys sell it for. Its just the glass cracked everything else still works. Plus you can barely tell that its cracked besides the left side.

Screen repair is about $200 plus the hassle. So a note in good condition is about $300, I would pay $50 for it.
What he said^^
It's arm and a leg trying to replace just the glass and you risk damaging it even worse if you try it yourself with no experience. Not sure what a repair store would charge. But the assembly like stated above, is around $200. You can pick up a decent Note now for $200-250. I'd either keep it, or expect some extremely low offers. A cracked screen is a cracked screen regardless of how minute it may be.
Much to my surprise some kid offered me 185 fir my broken note so I just picked up the note 2 this morning! !!

You got lucky, congrats on your shiny new note2. I'm going to hold onto my note1 and wait for note3 with 1080p screen and ARM Cortex-A15 cpu

I don't think insurance covers broken glass. I asked the guy at the AT&T repair center if insurance would have paid for my cracked glass and he said, "no".
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
that's why I didn't get the insurance, the only reason I'd get it is to get it replaced for free if I dropped it or somehow broke the screen...
So what good is their insurance then if it doesn't cover a cracked screen?

Man that sucks. I have two notes. One is mine that I always use and its got a dead pixel. The other one has a cracked screen. Its barely cracked but still. I want to ditch them both and get a galaxy nexus or a note with no issues! Haha
Damn marketplace here is closed or I'd post them.
i have 1 send me pm

Yea they are still selling for $200 fully operable with a cracked screen. Also samsung will replace it for the same price.

looking to let go of the cracked screen 1?
Its not worth fixing.
Unless I could get a screen cheap but still OEM quality.
For that 200 bucks ....your well on the way too a note 2.
I guess it just comes down to your particular situation.
Either way ...sorry about the screen damage ...it sucks ...g

thats why i never get at&t's insurance. i buy all my phones from Best Buy. for $10 a month they cover anything and everything. if you drop it, break the screen, pee on it, your dog chewed it....dont matter, they send it out for repair and you get another one. before i got the Note i had a Dell Streak that i got from Best Buy. i Broke the screen like 5 times and every time they just gave me another one - no questions asked.:good:

u can get OEM quality but OEM quality isnt cheap because its the LCD and the front glass
I got my Z2 yesterday and unfortunately dropped it later that evening and the glass on the back shattered.. Does anybody know how much it would cost me to replace the glass on the back? is there something i can buy and replace it myself?
I doubt there's anyone out there right now who does it, unless maybe you live in Europe. I'd try contacting Sony, see what they say.
You can buy glass replacement on ebay already, doesnt cost much

I've been around a few places in my city today and one of them could legally repair Sony devices but that would cost me over 400 dollars..
I suggest repairing it yourself. Back should be easily repairable. The front is much harder..

Yeah, I've seen some videos of the z1's back being replaced.. Doesn't look that hard, I just need to buy the back for Z2 but I can't find it online.. I probably need to wait a few weeks.

Yeah i noticed that now, you should contact seller and ask some questions, after all he is stating its "genuine". Im pretty sure i saw some more of these, maybe on amazon not ebay.
