I had a droid x that I had in my pocket with heavy knives, keys, coins, etc and only got those very small scratches where you could only see them if it was held in the light at the correct angle. I've had this phone for less than a week and it has a deep scratch that my fingernail can grab onto.
Should I attempt an exchange? I know it's ultimately my fault...but do I have options? I have insurance but I'm looking for a freebie or cheapie.
screen protectors are cheap but I hear time machines are pretty costly.

Try to break/brick your phone and attempt a return.

Your options are one to ignore it two to pay for a repair . the alternative is to commit fraud .
This is SGS3 forum yes .

Something that can go through Gorilla Glass won't be stopped by a flimsy screen protector. It would have made no difference.
Not a lot you can do. Some people say putting a screen protector over a scratch can hide it some extent.
Replacing the screen on the cheap is out of the question. It's basically attatched to another part which means you have to replace two parts.
I don't have a screen protector, starting to think I should!

Of course a screen protector should have helped. Just a tiny bit of sand can ruin the screen completely. With a screen protector just it should have been wasted and not the screen

Same here, I take real care of my mobiles. My old i9000 doesn't even sport one scratch after two years while the i9300s screen is littered with them. Not really sure why though, but I think it might be the flip cover. (tiny bit of sand on it and bye bye screen)
Right now I am not too bothered with it, I'm going to get the screen replaced in two weeks.

I was wondering too if it was weaker on the SGS3 but probably not. I was hoping they had some sort of fix for scratches. I know clear nail polish will remove a scratch on glass albeit temporary. I may see how that works. It still baffles me though that 2 years and no scratches on the droid x and 3 days and I got a nice deep one on this newer phone. I guess I just had bad luck.
For the person who wrote about fraud...you're a douche. Verizon had no problem downgrading me from unlimited after I upgraded well before the expiration. I did get that back with a phone call, but they had no problem attempting fraud. If there was a known minor issue with the first release phones you bet I would try to work that into getting a new one and pretend as if the flaw was affecting my usage. I know that's a stretch but there are some smart people on this forum who can think of just about anything.

Your argument is that this should not be happening on gorilla glass, especially not on 3rd gen glass. It's a faulty glass, some of the white ones had bad gorilla glass and was easy scratched.i have never used a screen cover and never had a scratch (2 sgs,2 gs2 +1 gs3) over 2 year period.
and it should be replaced be the phone warrenty and not the insurance.
This is your argument,if they eat it or not that depends.
Do you think I could exchange my 16gb phone for a 32gb phone? Just say I want the bigger one. I'm still within the exchange dates correct?
They are going to say it's not scratch proof

Need help
i just dropped from my bed my Galaxy and the ultra mighty gorila glass cracked but the touch and the screen are fine, no leaks or whatever, i just need to know what i have to buy to fix this mess
i found the digitizer LCD Display and Touch Screen not included that cost $18 dollars
or the full lcd touch combo that cost $239 dollars
as i said the touch is 100% working and the lcd doesnt have any leaks
i have searched similar topics but the other cases have broke lcd
thanx in advance :good:
Just found this video, i think im going to buy only the glass, the other solution is to expensive with 239 dollars i can get a new s3 with my mobile plan
So sorry for your phone man. I guess since the touch still works you will only need the front glass. To be honest i'm looking forward to see the answer of your question, since i never understood properly how the digitizer and the front glass work. Always thought they were the same.
Seeing images like of your phone is the reason why i bought my UAG case.

What is it with Galaxy S3`s and so meny people dropping them and smashing there screens.

You will need to buy them both. I have completed this repair numerous times for friends and family, and the digitizer will break close to 99% of the time.
I do consider myself very tedious and patient, but it is glued to the screen and there's a pretty slim chance of it coming off in one piece.
You can heat it up and try to get it as soft as possible, but it's super sticky.
Do yourself a favour and buy them both or else you're going to be waiting for a digitizer to come once you've started the repair process.
Hope this helps.

The newer supposed "thinner and stronger" Gorilla Glass thst is on S3 is nowhere near as scratch and crack resistant as the thicker original on phones like the OG Epic. This one can get those hairline scratches much easier thsn the original. Dont try the key scratch test on the S3. I will say this though, i have 2 i9300s. One new in box and the one i use has the back cover with the white flap that covers the screen. I dropped it 2x from 4 feet on concrete and only a slight scuff on the silver side bezel

Guys, for real, why does everyone think that gorilla glass is crack resistant? I mean, than bigger a screen gets than easier it can break, this is physics...
Gorilla glass more about to be scratch-resistant.
and in the case of OP I would buy a new screen and then be more careful with my phone. I just got a cheap silicon case and it protects my phone from everything without needing a screen protector.

I'd buy the digitizer for $18, worst case LCD breaks whilst separating and you'll need to buy the complete unit. Best case you fix it and save yourself $225 on complete unit.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
From my personal experience, i'd say you'd better buy the complete unit with the glass, the digitalizer and lcd pre-assembled on the frame. I've bougth a 2 week old GT-i9300 from a friend who had dropped it and had also the problem with the sim card blocked inside and just broke the sim card reader to take it out... As i said, i've managed to have it at a really good price and bought the lcd unit (samsung original on e-bay) and believe me, you will save yourself a lot of work as the gorilla glas is glued to the digitalizer witch is also part of the oled screen, witch makes it almost impossible to take the gorilla glass without breaking the rest, or, even if you manage to get it out, you'll never glue it again without any air trapped between the two... just look on ebay, i found mine for 163€.
I have the same problem as the OP. Dropped my SGS III couple of days ago and screen cracked though I still have 100% touch screen functionality. I am planning to get it fixed though have to say that incident has made me lose confidence in the sgs3. My sgs2 was such a solid piece of abuse taker. Over one year of use and dropping on concrete and worse on a number of occasion all without a scratch. Right now I am considering the HTC One X maybe it's using the old guerilla glass which seems more durable.

Though I understand why Sony uses an anti shatter film I cannot understand why they made them so soft? Within 24 hours of indoor use on my XZ I could see minute scratches.
I Ordered the same time I ordered the Ultra some screen protectors but they have not arrived yet. That bloomin shatter proof film has been a real pain in the butt for so many owners. Removing it voids the warranty here. Two plastic protective covers certainly causes picture deterioration. No way in hell would I use a pencil on the standard soft anti shatter film though.
Sony tend to get so close to producing near perfect devices then nearly always drop the ball on some silly trivia. Very odd company?

I actually read last week that Sony is required by Japanese law to use anti-shatter films on their handheld devices so people don't get hurt when they shatter. I'm not sure if this is indeed true, but i read it twice last week (can't remember where i read it though, but it was on tech site).
I've had my ultra several months now and as of now, the screen protector is just as it was from day one. Lucky me!
It is, however, a fingerprint magnet!

Maybe this one..
About the shatter proof film, it is Japanese legislation, they put it because it is required. They dont have to do that for phones sold outside Japan but they chose to do it anyway (maybe because they dont like lawsuits from people who got their pockets full of tiny pieces of razor sharp glass) with few exceptions (like the international model of Z Ultra, the film would kinda ruin the use of pencils as stylus)

I removed the screen protector on mine a while back, and its much better. The touchscreen works better, the feel of glass is nicer and its far more scratch resistant. The only downside is that without a proper oleophobic coating I need to apply rain-x every couple of weeks or the screen picks up smudges. :good:

I got a highly annoying scratch in the middle of the screen on the factory protector after just three days that was very visible when the screen was on. I never put protectors on my phones and I never get scratches after months of use.
So I removed the protector and go naked from now on as I always do.
Supposedly Sony replace for new anti shatter protector after each repair is that correct? As I asked for mine to be changed and Ok they said yes. So if that's the case why did people remove the anti shatter film and just void their warranty instead of getting Sony to change it. Plus I had problems with my Usb port and Usb cover so sending it off tomorrow

Or put the glass m over the top and not void warranty. It may be a finger print magnet I no that. But I'd rather wipe it and carry on instead of spending about a scary tedious 2-3 hours taking it off voiding warranty just for some finger prints. Just my opinion but still. I gotta send mine off hopefully tomorrow though. I hope they fix my problems without charging me etc.

Just finished. Took a little under an hour. I had some scratches on the screen, so I didn't wanna spend $40 on a screen protector to place over the scratches. Also, I've read about screen distortion and reduced sensitivity when placing a protector over the stock ASP. I know not everyone experiences it, but with my luck, I would... Lol. I hope you get yours taken care of fast and at no charge, mate.

Something tells me that most people are not interested in saying "bye bye" to their ZU for 1-8 weeks every time they get a scratch
Hey Folks,
Enjoying my G5, but I am confused. This is the first phone I have ever owned (and I have owned a ton, most recently 6s, S7, S7e, HTC 10) where when I'm wearing polarized sunglasses, I cannot see the screen at all unless I hold the phone in landscape orientation. This may sound silly, but it is an enormous pain in the rear as I always have my sunglasses on in the car and outdoors. I have never seen this before.
This is my third G5: first was a T-mo variant, then the dual-sim and now I got the H850 + Hi-Fi adapter. I swear the previous two did NOT have this issue, though perhaps that is my imagination. Does anyone have similar findings? I've tried two pairs of sunglasses with identical results.
-Collin-
I heard about this, I can't remember where but I think it was something like most phones do their polarization at a 45 and for some reason LG did it at a standard viewing angle this time.
My screenprotector solved this problem.

I have a Yoo Tech screen protector and don't have the polarized glasses issue. It seeems like a good screen protector. Curved at the top and covers the full screen. Got it from Amazon. Took a while to get here though. That may have been due to backlog when they first started making the curved full screen ones.

I can't believe someone would manufacture a phone with the glass polarization oriented in such a way that you can't see the screen in portrait mode if you're wearing polarized glasses. Every phone I've ever had had it oriented so you can see it in portrait mode and not landscape mode. If there are manufacturers that do it at a 45* angle, I'd like to check one out in person.
It is interesting that a screen protector fixes it, but I guess I can see how. I'd imagine not all would work.
Well thank you guys for the replies and for confirming my worst fears. I guess I will get a screen protector, which I hate! Can't believe this.
Drove five hours in the car yesterday with GPS and it was torture.

I realise this is an old thread but just thought i would share my experience with the screen issue.
My original G5 had a serial number beginning with 604 and I had issues where the screen would "black out " in portrait orientation with polarised sunglasses on, landscape orientation was fine. I had this phone swapped out for a new one under warranty due to another issue and received one with a serial number beginning with 605. This phone is viewable with polarised lenses in either orientation there is only a slight shift in colour temperature between the two, one being "cool" one being "warm". I have noticed that the screen on the newer built phone has a better quality image and colour range than my original handset also so I think LG may be sourcing the screens from a couple of different suppliers again. From what i can gather the screen on my new handset has a display manufactured by LG, the code number being LG4946. This is the same panel noted in the teardown from ifixit.
Cheers
i had this issue with a HTC M8 but with the G5 it is not present

Did the screen protector fix this issue?
Because of the recall I pulled off my screen protector and after using glass screen protectors for the last 3 years all I can is is duyammm duyammm duyammm this feels good. I guess it's the olephobic coating but this feels so much better than any tempered glass protector by a huge margin.
Anyone else notice how "soft" this screen feels?
Pfft! Raw is always the best. It's the natural way.
Oh dear, this thread isn't going to end well.
Come on guy's a bit of fun is fine but keep it clean, we have children who use xda so be careful please

I also removed the Ghost Armor I had on the front and rear of my Note 7. The screen feels better than I remembered before the film was applied. The replacement phone might only get the rear film if any at all.
I've never liked the feel of screen protectors (either glass or film). I've also been lucky (or careful?) and not had a phone all scratched up either.
