Wow. Get a clue. Send it back and get a new one.
There is no "problems", this certainly isn't a wide spread problem. Maybe look at your retailer before blaming Samsung.

That's pretty expensive, in Holland you can get one for e490(and for me it was almost free because I renewed my contract)
http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/277723/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-zwart.html

yes but the problem is not from the outside but from the inside.the retailer oppened the glass and scratced it inside?how they did that?

Who cares, return it get a new phone from a cheaper retailer

in greece the price is the same everywere

Doesn't matter if it's 6 euros, 600 euros or 60000 euros. A few will have manufacturing defects. Looks like you got one of those.
Take it back and exchange it or refund it if you think it's 'all cheap plastic'.
What do you want us to do?

i don"t want you to do anything.but to see people from samsung to check all the devices before they send it to us.my phone is samsung,my tv is samsung, my bd player is samsung...

This is a mass-produced device, not a coach-built Rolls-Royce or even a Vertu. There are general QC checks per batch but there are bound to be several defective units ending up in consumers' hands.
It is always possible that it was damaged in-transit, and nobody can prevent that.
Just take it back and get an exchange or refund. Not hard, and it's not like they're going to charge you or anything.

take it back and swap it
did you really need to come on here and post to realise what you had to do???
Dickie

i thought this forum was built to post our problems and solutions.i know what i have to do...

If you have a problem with the phone then talk to your retailer or Samsung. Coming or a forum that is dedicated to people who actually own the phone - you're not going to get a positive response if you come in a start rubbishing the device as "cheap plastic".

Well you just want to make profit, but that's a dumb way make profit...why don't you research and find a wholesaler to sell it to you so you can sell it for $10
The people who get donations deserve more money then they get (Because they provide to us, they DONT SELL TO US). And you aren't providing anything so I disagree with you.

And where do you think I get them from eh? I get direct from SonyEricsson but have sold loads on ebay for £20. some people pay more for the convenience! And I make a few quid at the same time!
I could just get it from the service centre i guess, like a few minutes of time
I sent an email to SE asking where to get a replacement because the black paint is mostly scratched away.
The told me to send them the SI-Number and they will send me a free replacement in the next 14 days.

i would go with black front, silver back. where did you get the housing from? is it OEM?
the other way around, and yes its oem, was ordering the replacement parts with the repair guy (from an s.e. service point) and had him order the black parts. and kinda liked the result

Would you buy a replacement screen from this guy?!?

So my Vibrant Screen is cracked. I found a replacement on Ebay and sent the following message to verify the screen type.
"Is this screen a replacement AMOLED screen? Or is it LCD and not an OEM replacement? Thanks"
Reply:
"Yea! AMOLED baby!!! Its the future! its like "whoah! what? that just really happened? I cant wait to show my all of my friends- wait, I only have one and its my cat...
No one cares man, its a phone, you talk and text, if you watching movies on it, thats just sad... and if you think that it is just a really great screen and all of the good stuff... go online and read, AMOLED is the same crap... LED not LCD... who cares?"
Name taken out but PM me if you want it...
seems legit
No. The guy seems like a crackhead

It's obvious you didn't find a replacement...
Replacement?
There are a few others that specific AMOLED as opposed to LCD. I honestly don't have an issue with it being LCD. But I do have a problem is the price for an LCD is equal to or above the AMOLED alternatives.
And did I ask an inappropriate question in the first place by asking the seller to confirm? Nowhere did I say I wouldn't buy it if it was LCD. But his snotty attitude regarding what a cell phone should mean to me basically turned me into a non-buyer of this product.
I doubt that an LCD replacement would even work in the Vibrant.
Super AMOLEDs are made only by Samsung and they do not sell them to other companies. If you need a new screen you should go through Samsung.

Price for Screen
Vibrant OEM screens for sale are found a few places I did the research trying to get a better price. The problem is this phone is in high demand so the price is pretty high.
If you want to buy in USA global direct sells for 87 bucks if I remember correctly.
There are a couple of guys that sell oem parts but they are in Hong Kong 63-67 bucks (and the wait to get here) Alibaba website you will find the link there.
If it was me I would use the global direct guy. You can find his website (same guy supplying the FFC camera) check the thread for the FFC camera supply
These are in high demand so the wait could be a week or so.
good luck

Bless My Luck

Well T-Mobile, looks like you have fully reimbursed me for the inconveniences that you have presented me during my replacement order, maybe OVER reimbursed me. Why? Here's the story.
I posted a thread named "Tmobile Lost my Phone?" a few days ago where I described my situation in which Tmobile made a mistake on the replacement order for my Vibrant. As a prepaid customer, I have to ship the phone in first before I get a replacement, so I believe a person in the return center confused it with a postpaid replacement where you receive the replacement phone first, thus causing the delay. Well, I contacted the executive response department and they expedited a new replacement order. Great, so now I recontact Tmobile customer service again and this time, they tell me the order was finally sent, after 16 business days.
The result? I now have two Samsung Vibrants, one with the battery and the back cover, and another without a battery or back cover.
Just wanted to share my story. (Should I trade one of the Vibrants?) Maybe I should change my sig...
Watch those karma points my friend. Sounds like you earned it, but I am just saying...
when you bought your vibrant, didn't it come with a extra cover? and the batteries are 30-40 dollars, buy one its worth it you saved a few hundred dollars.
Lost the spare cover, but batteries on ebay are 7 dollars and battery covers 10 I think.

Karma? Well, I spent 2 weeks without a phone for business or personal use, contacted tmobile customer care about 20 times, filed BBC claims, and finally got to a executive rep.

I've gotten 2 phones replaced FREE as well as a battery as a prepaid customer and they always sent the replacement first before I returned the one I had. They even offered me the opportunity to go into a tmo store and get a free replacement loaner until I received the replacement vibrant!
Me too. They gave me a phone and a shipping bag for the dead phone.
Shipping bag for the dead phone? As in a bag to ship in the faulty phone?
Hey guys, do you think an HD2 with 35 dollars cash is a good trade?

i think hd2 with 75 cash is a better deal. hd2 just sucks really bad and has old hardware. if anything you can probably get a g2 for it
I just got an offer for a "good" condition g2. But I am not a fan of the z- hinge and the screen is too small imo.
I may get lucky and just trade for a hd7.

good luck with that. i tried to trade for an hd7 and all the craigslist ads said vibrant and 100 bucks for it. besides hd7 has same hardware as hd2. if all you care about is screen size then go ahead and try. you can always try and just sell it for about 200-300 bucks
ps don't forget if you get the g2 you don't have to use the keyboard and the screen is only .2 in smaller then the vibrant

my wife has a G2 and honestly i can't even tell the difference in the screen size when i use it. the display is not as good, but not too much. plus, i just flashed GingerVillian 1.5 (cm7) on it and man is it sweet. i'd go for the G2 for sure.
I had the hd7
Traded for vibrant
Coudn't be happier.

just random looking at everyone's signature and it looks like everyones running flagship v4 now a days. just saying, it has nothing to do with this post. what does have to do with this post is if you can, go with the g2 you'll still have the vibrant. plus you can try out tmobiles real 4g speeds
I returned my G2 for the Vibrant and could not be happier. The G2 is very heavy! If you drop it and it is not protected, it will surely break. Also its kind of thick. Kind of feels like a TV remote in your pocket. I also felt the screen could have used more width. And the Z hinge is cool, but it pops open when you dont want it to more often than you'd think. Gets irritating.
I would have kept it if the Vibrant had not been an equal trade. As for now, You're better off selling your second vibrant and waiting for a dual core device!
Id sell and use that money on a new device or trade for a tablet and some cash.

Samsungs Guaranty/Warranty

Afternoon all,
Last week i had to put in my phone for repair, fine cracks had appeared on the LED under the gorrila glass, thus making my screen blank and none responsive.
I wasnt holding my breath as i thought that it would come back with this answer, they came back saying this (this is though phones4u as that is who i purchased the phone with):
Unfortunately your phone appears to be Out of Warranty so we have raised the following estimate.
So i gave them a call to see how it could be out of warranty and they said even though it is inside the 12months as it is a cracked screen it isnt covered by the wrranty, this is classed as accidental damage.
Now this phone has never been dropped, it was got last april and is pretty much in perfect condition and have no idea how the cracks on the LED appered, after explaining all this i was told the same, it isnt covered as there is no way to prove it wasnt dropped or had extreme pressure put on it.
They gave me a quote of £71.99 to repair the phone and get it back to me, which i am paying. If i had cracked the screen by fault of my own i would think this a good price as i have seen replacement screens on ebay,ect for alot more.
I feel a little hard done by as i know nothing has happened to break my phone, i was just wondering how others feel. Do you think with the size and popularity of Samsung phones they should be offering something like apple loyalty replacement or something similar? or has anyone had better luck going though a different vendor?
Should have contacted Samsung directly instead of going through one of the rip off merchants.

I was told by the man in phones4u that it was being sent to Samsung but it seems to have gone to their repair people. :/
Do you think going to sammy direct would have gotten me a different answer or cheaper repair?

They probably would have given it a more close inspection, as to signs of possible drops or accidents.
That sucks. I'll be sure and steer clear of phones4u in the future, thanks for the heads up.

Dunno but I find it easier to deal directly with the manufacturer than the rip off merchants. When my tab had some dust under the screen within a few weeks of purchase PC World refused to exchange it and said I may need to pay for the repair. Told them to where to stick it and called Samsung directly and they sent a prepaid jiffy bag for the device and a form to fill and send it back to them. They repaired it free of charge and I got it back within a week of sending it off.
Thanks for the input Intratech, think this is a case of lesson learnt for any future problems (hoping there isnt any).
You are in that very difficult position accidental damage by user who of course claims not .Versus phone broke by itself
You could claim against the seller but after six months its up to you to provide the proof that its a manufacturing fault .
As said Samsung may well have been the best route as they will have a higher margin and better trained staff than retail outlets .

Although I prefer to use the S2 as my daily phone, I also own an iPhone 4.
One thing I really love about Apple is their warranty. Pretty much no questions asked. I guarantee if I went in with a cracked LCD (not screen) they would have replaced it on the spot.
Although I love Sammy (S1 & S2) their warranty stinks. Also, no official invoice means no warranty.

Thanks for the replies folks.
I also love what apple do for the customers warranty wise, being able to look up the age of a model instore is amazing.
Do you think that sammy should introduce something like this due to how much they are competing with apple now?
How hard would it be to incorporate this service in to the generic phone shops (CPW,Phones4u,ect).
The cracks maybe related to temperature differentiation? From very hot ambiance to very cold one? It is good to know this kind of stuff.

i work in mobile sales, and i see this allllll the time, now i do believe you when you say that it was probably a manufacturing fault with the screen, but you have to keep in mind that probably 97% of the time with customers, it is the their own fault, and about 85% of those people will downright lie about it, ive had a customer come into my store shouting and screaming that it wasnt her fault the screen was cracked, that it was made badly and that she always was super careful about it, until her 5/6 year old son says 'but wait mommy, i saw you throw it up against the wall when you were shouting...'
fact is, people lie about it, all the time, same with water damage! 'sorry sir but its water damaged, theres not alot i can do about it'
'it hasnt been anywhere near water! it must be the humidity, or condensation, but it most defiantly hasnt gotten wet'
'but look sir... that looks alot like milk to me'
'ah...'
im sure if people were honest all the time, your phone would have been fixed no problem, but no, they arnt :/
sorry about the rant!

This was something that had crossed my mind, before it happened i was at my mums all warm lovely, then i went out and it was freezing was out for about 30min before i noticed what had happened.
I saw that article about how the s2 can work at low low temps the other day, but i dont think it said anything about the effect of a quick change in temps.

Just using o2.co.uk as an example (i know there are a lot of different prices out there i just used a popular place), our s2 is £449.99 on p&g and the ip4s is £499.99.
The £50 difference isn't much more of a premium for how long most people keep there phones for.

I scored mine for 275GBP including an extra battery, and a silicone case. 2 months old (used) not a scratch, delivered to my door (through pure coincidence). Sammobile.com claims that factory warranty runs until Sept 2013.
I suppose im lucky in the sense in that when i purchased my phone on eBay it came with a 2 year warranty and (touch wood) ive had no trouble with it at all and i have it 8 months now and it's running fine, ive heard some bad reports about Phones4U too, their sales assistants are seriously pushy as well the minute you step into one of their shops they are all over you like a rash firing questions at you desperate to make a sale, any wonder i rarely ever go there anymore when im in the UK.

Mine was free on £40 p/m contract, i got it the day after it was released tho it has been in a silicone case from day one. I don't doubt that shopping around will find you our phone cheaper. i just think the majority of people would use a place like o2 or other retail chains.

I will probably aim to do something like in your sig and go on gif gaf if they are still as good in 15months time.

Yeah my warranty card states that the device has a warranty of 24months starting from date of purchase. So Sept 2013 for me also lol
I saw warranty on SamMobile and it was of 1 year and 10 months from the date of purchase but the Samsung guy says he will only give it till 1 year from the date of purchase
P.S yesterday I got my screen replaced and my proximity sensor is not working
Such an idiot guy,I have to go again to service center tomorrow because today is Sunday and its closed

Warranty may be dependant upon area of sales .
Usual in the UK with Samsung mobiles is that Samsung offer a limited warranty for twenty four months .
That is outside of the sellers responsibility for the phone which is usually a twelve month warranty .

gf dropped my phone, screen cracked.....

:crying:So my girlfriend managed to drop my beautiful white s3 and now i wanna drop her ass. somehow she managed to break it the same day i rooted it and started to truly enjoy it.
Screen cracked at the top corner now theres a spider crack all over the top of the screen with a couple of cracks that run down to the middle phone still works, but the crack is killing me on the inside hehe. Now funny part is i bought the defender for it the day i bought it cause i knew it was too weak to handle a hard drop, and i've been checking the mail for it for 2 weeks now. then she comes and does that just the day before it arrived. After crying inside a while and just wanting to punch someone i managed to start looking at options.
checked online and the parts cost $240-$290, bell and best buy can fix it by it'll cost at least $325. I also bought the best buy protection plan (12.99/month). am thinking I should be able to find some cheap non-samsung parts for much cheaper than that, replace the screen and give it to best buy for an exchange as long as something is wrong with it (not sure wt though )

Only thing I could think of is they might do it different over there in Canada. I think that is where the OP is from.
Just posted about this in the other cracked screen thread...
"Missed my damn pocket on Saturday night, and dropped mine on the garage floor. Got a small crack about as wide a finger nail from the right side of the ear piece curving up to the edge. Which is strange, cause the only other mark on the phone is a small scuff at the bottom of the back cover. But, I have BB insurance, so its in being fixed with no deductible! I've dropped my epic a few times in the last year, and not scratch on the screen. Makes me wonder what they changed in the formula from og gorilla glass to gorilla glass 2. 
As much as I don't want to add all the bulk to it, the Otterbox Defender, or Trident Kraken may be in its future...

not sure how you guys manage your finances, but if there is a fee, shouldn't see be paying for it?
If I dropped my girl's laptop, phone, crashed her car (or w/e) and we weren't pretty much married, I would cover it to get whatever it is fixed.
I dropped my friend's motorcycle helmet while handing it to him several years ago. he didn't have a good grip and as I passed it, it slipped into his hand from mine and fell to the concrete floor. it was still intact, but had nice bruising from the concrete. I apologized and got him a new one within a week...

What girlfriend?
The PEP from Best Buy in Canada is different than the one in the US. It does not cover physical damage, liquid damage, basically they call it "stupidity". I'm not calling it that, that's how they word it. PEP from Best Buy only extends the manufacturer's warranty. So instead of getting refurbs, you get brand new replacements. And you can pick a different phone if you want. I posted in another thread indicating that no carrier or 3rd party store in Canada offers insurance anymore. At least not that I'm aware of. It sucks because Best Buy charges $12.99 + taxes per month for the PEP. I have 2 PEP's from Best Buy. On one of my PEP's, I already got 3 brand new replacement phones. On my
2nd one I got one brand new replacement in which I chose a different model.
So both already paid itself.

It sucks because Best Buy charges $12.99 + taxes per month for the PEP. I have 2 PEP's from Best Buy. On one of my PEP's, I already got 3 brand new replacement phones. On my
2nd one I got one brand new replacement in which I chose a different model.
So both already paid itself.

Wow I can't imagine trying to sell that to customers. It's already hard enough trying to get people to get the 9.99 plan that replaces the phone with no deductible. Customers say "if I break the phone I'll buy a new one for 200, not realizing the phone is $650.
Why would u let your girlfriend touch your phone?

this.
even tmo's coverage of 7.99/mo allows us to pay 100 deductible for a replacement phone...

I think the deductible for our phone is $150. Which it's still cheaper than replacing just the screen.

Don't even have my phone or actually even purchased mine yet... this made me buy a case regardless soooo... thanks, haha.
If you wanna be technical about it then she's my fiance... I'd expect her to pay otherwise for sure lol... I guess a broken 4.8" screen makes you a bit bitter lol...
Yea best buy Canada is another story they do not cover physical or water damage... Am gonna try calling visa today to see if there is any insurance that my purchase can be covered under... But after reading online about this am no longer hopeful for anything....
Next time buy the case before even thinking of buying the phone... And do not trust a girl with a delicate thing like your phone...

And I find it expensive to pay 300$ to fix a phone I paid 150$ for with a 3 year contract
