I dont have insurance on mine or my sister's S4, on Verizon. When she dropped hers and the screen cracked, it slowly "dissolved" until the screen was unusable. When she called Samsung, they said they still have a limited one year warranty, but it costed her $200 to replace the screen because it was her fault, not something the phone would do like not get signal or something. If you dont want to spend that much money, your best bet would be to sell it and purchase another out of contract if you can.
I have the galaxy nexus and getting HTC one.I just can't see spending another couple hundred to get it fixed. So guess I will just sell it..cheap real cheap

So my wife dropped her Rezound and the screen cracked. We do have the insurance through Verizon and figured I'd check here before calling Verizon since I need to know how to play this and get a replacement. Will they replace my phone or will they only replace it if our phonse is lost or stolen? Does anyone know how much it costs to get a replacement.

With a cracked screen it will cost $99 to replace. If it was a defect with the phone it would of been free. Kinda sucks but its better then shelling out $200+ for a new phone cause of the insurance. This is from personal experience with my own rezound.
seems pretty lame since that's about what it would cost me without the insurance.

If the picture isn't distorted and your glass is simply cracked, just get a Rezound LCD Digitizer with tools from amazon or ebay and some 3M 2mm digitizer tape. It'll only cost you 30 bucks to repair your screen, and you can choose between getting a verizon branded or unbranded digitizer while you're at it.

ugh, i tried this..only do this if you know what you're doing...i sure as hell didn't, and there's NO repair how to video out there about how to re-assemble the screen..they all convieniently skip that part. i ddin't even know i had to buy new adhesive since nobody said anyhting about that...
in the end, i have a screen with smudges on the LCD from the adhesive i had to pick at, since it was clearly visible underneath the digitzer, and then of course there's dust all over the place because it's impossible NOT to get dust under there, and the ribbon cable is peaking through the top, and i'm sure there's gonna be screen lift at some point. oh, and my bezel is def warped and bent out on the left side from prying with that stupid safe pry tool to get the digitzer out....clearly it isn't so safe!
oh and not to mention that my menu button doesn't fully light up anymore like the rest of them, because apparently you hvae to get teh LED's on there JUST RIGHT for them to light correctly.
yeah it cost $30, but it was a gift to my brothers wife until she can upgrade in a year...sure, she doesn't notice any of that, and it's a huge upgrade from her fascinate, but my brother and i sure do. we both did it together, and if me, someone who tinkers with electronics all the time, and him, a mechanical engineer, can't get it perfect, i'd say to just get the insurance replacement lol i would have, def, especially if you're as picky as me.....
Me doing it myself is probably not going to happen.

$99 later and a new rezound in hand.
Next question!
If I got a lemon, do I just deal with Assurian or can I get a replacement thru Verizon? On the screen when I got the phone it said 1 year Assurian warranty. Do I cancel my $7 a month insurance?
Thanks for the insight if anyone has experience beyond my point so far.

no i think you need to keep asurion to get it replaced warranty wise through asurion. and yeah, you call verizon, but asurion is who warranty replaces it
I wish I could find a way to get another S3 but if she dropped the Rezound, the S3 would have no chance of survival.

So my wife's brand new G was in the stroller today on a walk with the baby and when the stroller got closed up it fell out onto concrete from like 1-2 feet max. Go figure, the screen now has a giant crack diagonally across it and most of the screen no longer functions, and whats worse is it's the bottom part, making it un-usable. Arrgghhhh. Anyway, she literally just got it and hadn't gotten around to getting a case. We can still get the insurance but the deductible is $200 that we do not even come close to having.
My question is, does anyone have any suggestions? Anyone have any experience replacing the screen on this thing? I saw a tear down guide to open it up, but no idea on what to do with the screen. Anyone know of someone that replaces a screen and how much that would cost? Anyone have any other advice or a suggestion on what we can do to minimize cost as much as possible? I finally got her to switch from iphone land once hers broke, so im determined to try and make android work if at all possible.
Thanks in advance all, i appreciate any help or adivice.
Good luck, man. I'm not aware of any reasonably priced screens and digitizers. You'd have to replace them both because A) they're glued together and B) they're both broken. Hopefully a good ebay seller has popped up since the last time someone tried to replace their screen. If you live in or near a big enough city you can probably find a cellphone shop that can fix it for less than the insurance deductible, if they can get the parts.

Try calling these guys. Maybe one in your area if you look at cities at bottom of page

Thanks for the responses guys. Looks like it would be around 165-180 to get the stupid thing fixed and 200 to get a new one. Thinking of getting a new one for the 200 and selling it as i think i could get 300-350 for it, then using the difference to get something else. ****ty, but that's life. Thanks again for taking the time to respond and offer suggestions.

I'd look into a square trade warranty, that's what I have and the same thing happened to mine. Its $99 for the insurance and the deductible is only $25. They'll either send you a new phone or pay for repair. They sent me a brand new one from amazon and I got 2 days after filing the claim.
Also when you make an insurance claim through AT&T they want the broken phone back
I checked out Square Trade this morning and it looks like the deductible is now 100 and you either have to do a two year deal at 7 per month or 125 for the two years, so it would end up being more expensive than just dealing with the ATT option, not factoring in the warranty over the two years.
@gunnyman- Wouldn't every warranty option make you give them the broken phone? Seems like if not, you would be able to just file fake claims as often as they permit them and repeatedly sell a new product for a gain.

Yes of course I was half asleep when I read what you wrote about selling a phone. I read it as selling the broken one.
I got a screen off ebay for 86.77 with free shipping, I was gonna put a link but I dont have enough posts here on xda but if you copy and paste the following in ebay it should be the first listing you see:
New ASSEMBLY LCD Display Screen+Touch Screen Digitizer For LG Optimus G E970
It did take a couple of weeks to get to me being it's from china. I must say that I was pleasantly suprised with the quality of the screen :laugh: (at least the one I got) with the added bonus of it not having the lg logo. The guy that did the teardown post said it looked hard to take of the screen but it's actually not, just pop off the two ribbon connectors (one is for the digitizer, the other is for the LCD) then you just have to do some prying on the screen since its glued on, and once you get it off you pull the two connector through this slot that they have to pass through. Once you get it out you'll see how easy it is to put the new one on. And instead of glue I just used two sided tape around the edges of the screen. Been using it for two weeks with no problems. Hope this helps.
*EDIT* Forgot a step, you should heat up the broken screen with a blow dryer or heat gun to soften the glue before prying it off, It shouldn't be so hot that it's hard to handle though.

Got a random code off google and it was $95 for 2 years with a $99 deductible ($194 total for 1 claim over 2 years).
Better than att $7/mo plus $199 per claim ($369 total for 1 claim over 2 years)
Has anyone had any luck getting this phone repaired out of warranty? Im having a hell of a time finding a place that can/will do repairs on this device, most of them cant even get parts.... The last HTC i had also had a blown speaker.. I was able to order a new speaker on ebay for a few bucks and replace it my self in about 15mins. Obviously not the case with this one
The cost really outweighs the option of the repair. I had my first one 3 days before the screen cracked. Now im not sure about now but the glass alone for the repair was going to cost the retailer 200.00. You could probably buy a newer or new One S off Craigslist or Ebay for less than that. Turn around and sell the broken one to.an.electronics shop for parts. That's what I did. I work for T-Mobile so getting a new one wasn't a problem. There's a guy on here that asked for a donor One S. He is experienced with glues and thinks he can find a way to open it. If he can then a repair may be an option. Most electronics.stores will just say the it was not built to be dismantled and refuse to work on it. Good luck man
I just dropped my phone yesterday and it cracked the glass. I'm super depressed because I've had a ton of phones and was proud that I've never cracked a screen before, but alas... I'm comfortable working on electronics, and I'm looking to tackle the screen replacement myself if possible.
My questions begin here. I've discovered the glass is fused to the LCD panel so that makes it difficult to replace. Is it worth replacing the glass and keeping the screen original? Are the LCD assemblies purchased on eBay as good as the HTC version? I see that most of the LCD screens on eBay don't have Verizon branding, that makes me think they aren't really OEM so I'm worried about buying one with red buttons and the screen being sucky.
Any advice would be much appreciated, anyone who's had any experience changing the LCD please chime in with your input!

Your best bet is to buy the lcd and digitizer pressed together. I don't think it's possible to replace just the lcd, if it is its very hard.

Did you buy one that has the Verizon branding on it? I'm tempted to do it on my own, but if I do I'm also tempted to buy the LCD that has had the capacitive buttons changed to red. Those screens don't have that Verizon label though and that just makes me really nervous.
The other thing that's holding me back is that my phone is insured. If the cost to replace it is $100 or less it isn't worth buying a replacement LCD for $80 IMO. I need to head over to the Verizon Store for that answer though.

A dev over in the Rezound area decided to get a cheap China off brand digitizer for his Rezound replacement. It had faulty internals and hard bricked his phone. Sometimes that few extra dollars saves a big headache.
Also, for the record, it was his 17th time fixing that specific model of phone, so it wasn't an error on his part.

This.
It appears as though I will have to pay a $99 deductible to replace the phone. So it's not really worth spending the $80 on an OEM screen/glass assembly. I'm thinking about just waiting it out until the 28th to see if the Nexus 5 will support Verizon LTE. If it does then I'm totally buying one and that will render this phone moot. Thank you for all of your advice!

I believe its best to use your insurance rather than do it yourself because if you dive into your phone and break something else it you could void your warranty. And considering it is a $650 phone, i think its safer to use your insurance. BUT if you ship it off to places like MobileTechVideos, they place a new void sticker on it after they have reassembled it. I sent my phone there and I was pleased with my services.
Claim on the insurance is most likely what I'm going to do. After all that's what it's for! My hopes of a Verizon LTE Nexus 5 have been crushed it seems. Hopefully by year's end we will have Sense 5 coming to us OTA so I don't have to flash it. My old Droid Charge was easy to flash, this phone is more difficult it seems.

had the beautiful m20p. took 4 tries to get a BOE screen, which i was happy with despite colour vibrancy. i went out one night an an aquanctance of mine ended up knocking the phone out of my hand and long story short the screen cracked. Not to worry right? insurance after all?
wrong
huawei being stupid and not admitting the problem officially means all outlets have been packaging the phones we all sent back and branding them as refurbished. Thats good in the sense i know the phone has barely been used but terrible since after two replacement phone, i have received the worst cases of green screen ever. the current on looks like hulk himself has smeared the screen with his fingers!! not the insurance company's fault of course, this phones have bee apparently tested and branded as good as new.
looks like i have to send my phone to a service center, anyone have experience with this?
yes i have mine got replaced directly from Huawei. its a good deal for you, they will swap it with a brand new one.
The thing is, if you get a refurbished one with a LG screen you can get a new one from Huawei. Its actually a very good deal.
