A black lettered day in my life ....
Today in the morning while riding on my motorbike on a croweded indian street ...my phone slipped out of my tracks & fell on to the road. It took me about a ~45 secs to realize that my phone is missing from my pocket
By the time i parked my bike & looked back i saw some people frantically waving & shouting trying to stop an oncomming city bus... & then i heard someone say the phone is under the BUS !!!
I ran towards the bus ( which had now come to a stop ) & peeked underneath & to my horror realized that that bus had actually come to a stop on TOP of my phone !!!!! My heart surely missed a beat ..had to ask the driver to back the bus to dislodge the phone from under the tire
Well here are the pics :

The phone surprisingly is still in working condition despite being compeltely shattered .. i can still make calls, touchscreen is working (even in the broken areas)... GPS, compass, camera all seem to be working fine....i guess had it not been in the leather pouch it would have been much worse
PLease tell me this can be reparied/replaced...also could you please give a cost approximate..
Heres wat i think needs replaching
- Touch Panel
- Glass Front Screen
- Plastisc side body
sorry to see that.
You can get the housing from Dealextreme

True ..its just hard to see ur hard earned money go down the drain like dat !
I too am amazed that the phone still managed to survie this ...i was expecting it find X10 mash inside the leather cover...!! The battery has deep lines engraved on it by the ribs on the back cover .due to the pressure !!!!!
Can't believe it's still working, anyway i guess you wont think about 2.1 update anymore which is, hmmmm, a good thing
That's too bad for you, it's a really expensive phone.
I don't know if you can get the parts apart around your place, but here are the part numbers:
LCD Display: 1223-6264
Windows + Touchscreen: 1223-6264
and finding the housing shouldn't be too hard.
Perhaps you can try contacting SE, but I doubt they'll send you the parts.
Do you really need the touch panel as it is still working? The LCD and touch panel are different parts, you know.
If I were you, I will contact SE and show them what their phone got!.
May be ask them a replacement as a reward from your unbelievable story.
Your phone might worth making a nice ads for them

And then sell it on eBay to buy 2 X10s

I don't know about SE in India but you should give it a shot for making some ads if you got time. At least you have nothing to loose.
Sorry for your lose.
PS, if you had the white color x10 then the bus driver would have seen it just saying!

Can u pls post the pic link again? The link is dead
Ouch, that looks pretty bad, but besides the screen, battery, and a new case, it seems ok. Does everything still work?
I.e. making phone calls, earpiece, microphone, camera, wi-fi, 3G, etc.?

I also did manage to break the touch panel of my White X10 accidentally! And it seems it would cost around 33% of the phones price! I can't post the links yet! But i've just few lines of crack on my touch panel and it my phone doesn't respond to touch anymore! It's unbelievable that your works!
Let me know what SE quoted you for the Touch Panel!
Did you thank the bus?
Now you can get a phone with current tech, like multi touch, better battery, better call volume, etc

Be careful, I had my HD in my left pocket. I took the bus into town, the busdriver started to drive before I was seated and I bumped into the edge of a seat. My HD now looks like this
Does anyone know if there are spare parts availiable?
Flippin' heck, that doesn't look good I feel for you.
A warning to everyone, put the phone in your pocket screen side towards your body for maximum cushioning!
wiew that looks really bad! i'm afraid there no spare parts yet. Be patient, there will be after a while when more of these broken HD's will appear...

Oh my god, I'm feeling bad for you. Thank you for telling us. Try to go to an HTC center and ask them how much ($) and how long is required for a repair.
How strong was the hit? And is the display still working, despite the crack?

There is also another reason for this. Because antenna is usually at back side, it's also bit more healthy. Especially if you keep phone in your trousers next to your "jewellery" ))

The hit was not bad at all, in fact I didn't notice the phone was broken until I was about to use it.
And yes, everything seems to work alright.
if the repair is too expensive...
I will buy it as it is.. if you want to sell the broken HD
asoebye, sorry to see this. We're all assuming you had the screen side away from your body in the pocket, can you confirm ??
As I suppose if an impact was large enough, even if you have the screen side in, a crack is possible.
Always put your HD in nice leather case
OMG! This sight will give me nightmares!
sorry to see this
I feel with you!
But it seems the screen is of glass. I thougth it was plastic.
when did you buy the phone? if it was less than 45 days ago you should be able to take out insurance...
omg, i`m sorry man. it looks bad. hope you can fix it.
wouldn`t this happen with a leather case? i mean leather is flexible...
guys, just have insurance for your phone and your get a free replacement

Yes, I can confirm that. The thougt of such an accident has never entered my mind. I have never destroyed ANY phone. I got a scratch in my P3600 because I dropped it, and thats what I was most affraid of with my HD also.
But if you have the screen against your thigh I think you need a quite a hit to destroy the glass. The backcover will probably break first.
I think I will have that in mind from now on ...
DAMNNNNNN!! BAD LUCK

Good idea any pointers where we go to? the cheap and best place to get it insured?
I'm going to get CPP Fonesafe, but this is only available in Italy. There is also an UK version with the same name, but it costs 7 pounds a month, so it's not what I call cheap.
and broke the damn lcd.... BOOOOOOOOO
If the insurance place really is on 5-7 day backorder, i'm gonna kill something. Stay outta my way something, stay outta my way.
And here i was going to be playing angry birds all day at work.... not anymore.

too much for me, 75 bucks for that, or 100 for a brand new phone through asurion. I also had a light spot on the lcd, and the light leakage, so i am due a new phone lol.
I had just paid 60 for a new digitizer damn it. Didn't even get to use the ****in thing long. I had a scratch on my screen and i buffed it out about 8 different grits of sandpaper then jeweler's rouge and plastic polish, then the next day after a week of sanding and buffing I scratched it again, so i bought the new digitizer.
On a side note, the digitizer is still in perfect condition and is for sale on fleabay for cheaper than anyone's if you guys want to snag one for cheap. I wont link it or anything because i know that is against the rules. Battery door is on there too, and the front camera is going on there. maybe other things. I decided that I would put on there that it got dropped into a trash compactor in case asurion tries to hunt me down and wants the broken phone. I need the broken phone parts to be sold so i can pay for the deductible damn it lol.
If me saying those are for sale offends you, just let me know, i'll delete this post
It wasn't a far drop though, maybe 3 feet onto tile/concrete. Just so everyone knows. The one frickin day i didn't have my jelly case on. I have done this multiple times with the jelly on it and that LITTLE bit of cushioning is all it takes to cause ZERO damage to the phone. INSANE
Oh yeah, and the angry birds was working for me yesterday as well

Man I feel ya. I dropped my phone while running, I used my phone for mp3 and my tracks (great app! btw) while running and now my camera lens cover is cracked and tons of scratches all over but nothing like your, so sorry dude. Only protection I have for my Evo (stupid me waiting for Otterbox defender) is a bodyglove belt clip cover and a screen protector. At that moment I felt like I'm about to cry, my baby is all messed up. After all that abused this phone is still going strong with other than the cosmetic issue. Point said I know exactly how you feel and feel really really sorry for you guy. Good luck and hope you somehow get your phone back whether through replacement or another way.

The lens/glass front of my camera is cracked. Is there any way to fix that or can that be salvaged from your phone and somehow put onto my phone, or is all one piece tied to the main board?
I haven't even tried hard to figure it out, I've just lived with a camera that takes pictures with a line down the middle...lol.
If I can get that off your camera and put on mine somehow, I'll buy it.
Anyone know???

Front or back camera?
I just my back chassis on ebay, so i dont have one for you, but i could help you locate one.
If it is the front camera you would need a whole new digitizer/glass
This is weird but pretty sure there's an explanation. The screen on the x10 is touch sensitive so no pressure is needed to move or type things right. It's all in the electrons running through your veins.
I was talking to my gf on speaker phone when I happened to breath on the screen of my phone.
I noticed that my beautiful home widget suddenly moved
and I felt the phone vibrate.
I started to mess around trying to change screens just by breathing on the screen...and..
Bingo I managed to swipe the desktop screen without touching the screen or any buttons.
** I didn't blow on the screen I breathe air, like when you fog up a window, and it has to be very warm LOL.
Someone confirm this please, its kinda cool when you consider that your not really doing nething physical to the device, just air. Why does this happen?

Welcome to the exciting world of Capacitive Touchscreens!
can't seem to do it is it cos I've got a screen protector on?? BTW I have come from the HTC Reboot (aka desire) forum section - so I'm knew to this part of town
You all have way to much time on your hands! I love it! My new pick up like.. hey baby breath on my handy please. No really..
Yeah, it really sucks when I'm crank-calling someone...
I try to breathe heavily into the phone, but it bloody causes me to hang up...
Give me resistive touch screen for crank-calling any day...!
i think i need more oxygen,,, it makes me exhausted!!!!!!!!!

To the person who has the screen protector it probably does affect the sensitivity but I also have a protector and I can still get it to work, just breeeathe lol.

What I hate about the X10 touch screen is using it or trying to when its raining ...try that ... calls get made when you dont need them widgets get placed when you wasnt even trying letters get typed with raindrops its a pita
There is an ant under my screen. I am not sure how it got there and I wasn't too happy when it stopped moving... I think it's dead.
Any advice on getting it out...
I already tried a vacuum cleaner, that didn't work.
I would open the device but I am not sure if there is adhesive between the lcd and glass panel.

Lmfao... I'm sorry.. This just made me laugh... I'm sorry about the ant though.. I believe you will have to take it apart if you can't shake it out. You're going to have to google a repair video for the 10.1. Lmk how it works out for you.

..and i thought Samsung started their organic design recently with the s3
i´m sorry
Have you tried compressed air?
I believe that this bug is fixed in the ICS upgrade.
If you have any dead pixels, or any other hardware issues send it in for that and likely Samsung will remove the bug. I've used this app to check for dead pixels on my screen and have found a couple. Wasn't worth sending it in for a repair but if I had a bug in my screen I would. Good luck.
My friend gave me his Bell Galaxy S3 it is a SGH-I747M to repair if I can.
He said he was making a video while driving a car at about 80kmh and dropped the phone out the window and this is the result. The back panel barely even has a scratch. The bezel has few bruises but the screen is totally destroyed. It's possible that a car ran it over I'm not sure.
The screen does not turn on at all. I can charge the phone, I can hear it turn on and it makes sounds and vibrates during the opening video, it still receives text messages and phone calls as you can hear the notifications go off. And the touch key buttons (back and menu) still light up. The leds at the top still light up too.
I'd think so. Try getting a replacement screen (maybe give it a month and wait for a bad esn phone) and replace it.
My concern would be if the ..oh what the hell is it called, the capacitive touch pick-up part? is damaged. Screen itself shouldnt be too expensive or hard to replace, but that part could prove to be quite the tit.
iFixit has a teardown of the SGS3 that seems to indicate that it might be harder - or at least, more expensive - than you think: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Teardown/9391/1

Hope This Help's
The phone is still alive. Only the screen is pretty much useless now. Either sen it to Samsung and have them repair at an expensive fee or do it yourself which is $200~. My vibrant had the same symptoms too. I wouldn't imagine a phone that survived after dropping out of a car running at 80 kmh

if the phone is still under warranty, i would just send it in for repair rather than doing it yourself, which will almost certainly void the warranty. chances you get a working phone are 100% if you do that
in my experience it is better to send back to manufacturer for repair or a 3rd party than trying to do it yourself, especially if you don't have a lot of experience with cell phone hardware.
Just get insurance for it. Then after 30days call them tell them the screen is broken and they either fix it or replace ur phone. That is the best thing to do.

i would still recommend sending it back to samsung for repair.

My friend gave me his Bell Galaxy S3 it is a SGH-I747M to repair if I can.
He said he was making a video while driving a car at about 80kmh and dropped the phone out the window and this is the result. The back panel barely even has a scratch. The bezel has few bruises but the screen is totally destroyed. It's possible that a car ran it over I'm not sure.
The screen does not turn on at all. I can charge the phone, I can hear it turn on and it makes sounds and vibrates during the opening video, it still receives text messages and phone calls as you can hear the notifications go off. And the touch key buttons (back and menu) still light up. The leds at the top still light up too.

i would still recommend sending it back to samsung for repair.
i would also tell your friend to refrain from activities which could send his s3 charging towards the ground at 80+KPH in the future

Why do noobs like you need to advise other people **** that they either have never experienced before or just total crap they know nothing about?!! Sammy does not cover broken screens!

calling me a noob because i'm not an expert on samsung's warranty? sorry i'm never smashed a device within the first month of owning it
here's my point: don't do it yourself unless you're very confident you won't mess it up. and considering you posted on this forum to begin with, you probably need to send it in

Then learn to keep your mouth shut since you do not know what you are talking about.

Why do noobs like you feel the need to act as the almighty forum police? And considering you've been a member for less than a month, I'd wager that you're likely calling the kettle black. We have mods, we don't need you to start a flame war with someone that's only trying to help.
Edit: enjoy the free accidental thanks.
