How much? Will it have a bad ESN? I want to get one so I can actually test Carbon on it. Someone donated one to me but it was already locked. So maybe I can swap screens and enjoy carbon on it

You would just have to swap the board and I can guarantee it will have a clean ESN I would take 100 shipped pm me if your interested

Verizon has started open enrollment for warranty coverage again. So $10 bucks sounds like a great deal for a new phone and stick the old in a box.
Good luck!

Don't let them fool you lol $10 a month then $99 deductible..not worth it to me..I think the best repair/warranty service offered is by BestBuy.. No deductible..I forget how much a month.. But no ?'s asked when needing a replacement

Are they offering open enrollement for phones not purchased at BestBuy?
Verizon is and $110 would be the cheapest way to get a new phone replacement.
I bought my Note 2 on ebay last year for $200 and cracked my screen with no warrenty.. called Verizon they have open enrollement right now. Only question I was asked was whats wrong with the phone?"screens cracked" New one in the mail next day..cancel the insurance afterwards if you think it's a rip there's no contract on insurance.
I've never dealt with BestBuy so maybe they can fix it right now cheaper then $110

This. I bought the full assembly (AMOLED+Digitizer+Metal Frame) from this guy:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191076189569
And followed this tutorial (there were some small differences since he used a Global N2):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT-2zrZ_aNo
With some patience and a mini-screwdriver I was able to bring a Note II to like new condition. If you get the full assembly with the frame you should be able to restore the phone to near factory state. I definitely wouldn't try replacing just the glass, or even glass+digitizer without the frame, there's too much risk and you're never going to be able to get the adhesive just right.
@funnyperson1 I thought you had a cheap fix for people with cracked screens it's the same price to have a professional do it lol
Heck... I seen a sweet looking mint VZW SCH-1605 - stuck in a simple bootloop on ebay sell for $150 today free shipping
Sadly there is no cheap way on the note 2. I mean if you wanna risk doing just the glass and curing loca glue then yea.

roflcopterssoisoi is right, there isn't really a good cheap alternative for the Note 2.
You can replace just the glass and reglue yourself for $30, but it's risky and probably won't come out right (at least I know it won't if I do it).
You can get a professional to replace just the glass for around $125 (that's what MobileTechVideos charges)
For around $80-123 you can replace the lcd, digitizer, and glass but that still requires melting adhesive, prying,and hoping you don't mess up.
For between $120-150 you can get lcd, digitizer, and frame and replace the components yourself. This is what I did and it was pretty easy, hard to mess up.
For $200+ you can have Samsung, MobileTech or someone else replace the screen for you.
For me the decision was easy because the digitizer and amoled were completely dead, otherwise the MobileTechVideo repair for $125 is appealing. Still, for a couple bucks extra and an hour of my time I like the idea of having a like new, non-damaged assembly.
Yes almost all the options are expensive, but a working Note 2 goes for $300+ on Swappa and eBay. If you repair it and resell it, you'll probably get your money back. You could probably repair it, use it until the Note4 is released and still get your repair money back.
If you had another phone to use you could even sell the parts for a cracked Note2 for more than $200 total. The motherboard is going for $150-180 on eBay, selling the cracked screen and other parts may add up to $100+. You could certainly get enough to buy the bootloop N2 and fix it via Odin.

I'm officially a Go Phone carrier now. My phone off the bed this morning and face planted right on my tiled floor. LCD is demolished, glass perfectly in tact. Man it sucks so bad. iPhone 4 is off at the shop having it's battery terminal soldered back on and I really wanted to use my GS 2 but the LCD is like 150 bucks.
Anyone had any luck with AT&T giving a one time warranty replacement for issues like this?

Suck man. Same thing happened to my Captivate. The SGS2 came out 2 days later thankfully.
Maybe you have an upgrade lying around somewhere and can get a skyrocket for 199?
If I were you, id be hunting around for someone who broke just the touch layer and is wanting to part with their paperweight. Also, I was under the impression that AMOLED's are on a metal plate or some such, not a glass screen like an LCD? maybe I'm wrong?

I just had a horrible experience today.
I was putting my phone on the fireplace and caught the corner on the edge of the phone.
You can imagine my shock when I looked at the screen and it has a number of cracks across it and looks shattered in the lower left corner.
This was only a slight tip but it still took out the screen.
Has anyone any idea how much it costs to replace the screen here in Ireland.

Use your phone insurance to get it repaired. Job done.

I was going to see if I could insure it now with a third party and leave it a week before reporting the problem.

I've no issue with you scamming an insurance company - I'm firmly of the belief that there is a special place in hell for those parasitic bastards. But if you do go legit, I'd expect to pay easily over €200. I had to replace my screen in Sweden and it set me back the equivalent of €300 so I would guess Ireland is probably not that far off.
fonefunshop.co.uk charges about €250 plus shipping I'd guess and will deal with customers in Ireland.
Found this on adverts.ie. €165 but that sounds very cheap considering that to buy replacement screens alone to fit yourself is more than that. Would be wary.
And what CFWH is doing is extortion.

Yes it is you pleb. It's fraud, end of. And the reason we're having to pay £15 a month is so that the insurance companies can recover some of the costs from people carrying out bogus claims like you're encouraging him to do.

I contacted Samsung Repair and they gave me the number for Fondmenders in the GPO. I called them and they will replace the screen for €160.00
Its going in on Thursday and should be ready Friday.
I also get insurance for €37.00 per year with Zurich so I'll keep that just in case something else happens to it another time.
€37.00 per year is a long way off what Car Phone Warehouse where charging.
Anyway I'll know on Friday if I get a happy ending.
Don't you have something like household insurance in Ireland?
Something similar happened to me.. 3 days after i got it, dropped it in SAND (yes, SAND!)
The edge on the left side got chipped, like a small paranthesis ( - it was outsided the used screen, in the space between the used screen and the edge.
However.. 2 days later.. it got stolen, i never got around to fix it
Now i've got a new one..

If your saying that what I was considering is fraud then what do you call it when the insurance company pay an uninsured no tax and no licence driver then put my premium up to cover the cost 3 fold.

Just to update on the broken screen.
My phone went in to FoneMenders in the GPO Arcade (http://fonemenders.ie/) yesterday morning at 9:30
They replaced the screen within the hour and only charged €159.99
I had got prices from other compaines as much as €270.00
The phone looks brand new so I'm over the moon with the repair, very professional.
I now also have a flip cover and screen protector on the device. Only short of wrapping it in bubble wrap
I really don't want to go down that road again.
I still have my insurance policy on the device so should anything happen again I have that to fall back on.

Doubt that will work. you think if I told them my story would understand and allow me to send the cracked one back.
Also I already had the screen replaced once but it ended up in the person who fixed it screwed up the capacitive lights and did not seal screen on tight enough so dust got behind the screen.

the insurance plans are actually a rip off. you have a large deductible on top of a monthly plan... if you don't pay the deductible to replace it at some point you will effectively pay an extra 50% the cost of the phone for no reason. If you do use the insurance plan, you have bought 2 phones instead of one..
buy one phone, learn to take care of your one phone, and you won't be blowing money on "insurance" plans.

I have yet to damage a smartphone in 4 years. I've saved over $672 for me & my wife's phones by not paying $14/month to cover 2 phones.

I have to disagree the H1 blows the N2 out the agua! And I'm not going to cover up this phone with a hunk of plastic. That's what insurance is for.

Love to know how it 'blows it out the aqua?'
While the One's build quality is nicer, it isn't any faster than my N2. Now if you go off specs, I suppose so, but real world experience and can't tell much of a difference, they all feel pretty quick.
Also, enjoy the broken screens and waiting on replacements and what not. I'd rock a case on any phone and still have insurance just in case. These phones are almost as expensive as mid grade PC's, so not taking the chance. You can go right ahead and play in that pipers pit!

Seems like I hurt someone's feelings.....
But it's my opinion, a note 2 with touchwiz out the box is sluggish, it's only when you root and install a Rom is when it gets better.
the HTC one out the box feels so much smoother. I have rooted and installed custom roms every device I owned since the G1 to the note 2. But not this phone, I feel no need to.
So to me the HTC one wins over the note 2. As far as broken screens, this is my first time every cracking a screen like that, I take care of all my phone's, but I'm a truck driver and I forgot to put back my phone on the mount and the result was a six foot drop flat on it's face. I bet I won't do that again......
I waited one day for the phone asurion next day aired it for free. HTC one ftw!

Hey guys, so i am probably the first to crack this screen ..fell out of my pocket getting out my car....nearly cried...screen unresponsive except a 1x1 inch area... I think phone works okay otherwise from what i can seee
No insurance obviously why im posting... Does anyome have any experience sending back to lg to get it repaired? I got a quote from a place in chinatown ny for 200... And lg wont quote me until i send it in...was wondering what others have done or recomendations.... I have an upgrade on my plan i can steal so i can also sell the phone ebay...but not suring how well that would go.....
What ya'll think?
Dunno, what version is it? Maybe you can make a dev very happy with it, if you give up on it.
Selling it for parts might only work later in its life cycle

If you got some spare time and nifty fingers you could wait for replacement screens to be sold. Or maybe use it as a htpc or something.
I have insurance with T-Mobile because I just joined them and their Jump program includes it but when I was with Sprint my ex broke her S3 and we had no insurance, I just called them up and asked for it on the phone and they added it and then I waited a few days and put in my claim and got a new phone after paying deductible. So give it a shot and call and ask to add insurance, maybe you'll get lucky.
List it on eBay you will be shocked as to what you will get for it.

Nah. Some guys girl broke hers like 2 days ago. Threads around here somewhere.

Add the insurance if you don't have it. You have 30 days to do it and the phone hasn't even been out that long so you can definitely add it. Wait a couple days and make a claim. It'll cost you $199 on most carriers, maybe all of them, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new one. And if you want to keep the old one for some reason or donate it to a dev somewhere as suggested earlier then report it as lost or stolen. You won't be able to use it on any carriers but for development or WiFi functions you could still use it up to you.

my octopus box will make short work of the imei lol
It might be difficult to replaced the screen yourself. I remember reading somewhere that LG fused the LCD screen and glass together to make the display clearer.

thanks for all the replies, i actually tried adding the insurance but made the extremely dumb move in filing the claim the same day cause i was really anxious about it and had to switch to my old gnex cause i needed a phone...
LG quoted me for replacement anywhere from 100-180 not including shipping it to them...but i have 2 extra upgrades available so i think im gonna try to sell it on ebay and use that money to buy the replacement....
if all fails i would be happy to give it to dev team, better than a paper weight here..
gonna def get a case and screen protector for next phone....
