Cracked Screen

My phone was in my bag and it got closed in the car door. The screen is cracked and the phone is rooted. Wil they not replace the phone because it is rooted? I have insurance on the phone.

From everything I've read you shouldn't have an issue either way.

I just sent mine back with my ROM on it. I'm hoping they fix the glass and send it to someone with the ROM in place our at least the newest cwm in it. It's unlocked and all so booting it they will see the padlock

I got my screen cracked too.....my advice is to get this
http://www.ebay.it/itm/130639498734?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Its very easy to install sice it doesnt have only the screen and the touch digitizer but also all the hardware realted to them so to change it you dont have to use a heater gun as you should do with the other products...
I bought one and it is PERFECT!!!! exactly the same feeling of the original one!!!
Hope this helps you!!!
P.s.=Its only for i9020 tho!!

wish me luck this weekend.

Got to bring the wife's epic into Sprint for a hardware issue. It appears the phone speaker isn't working. Thought it was Cm7 issue but flashed back to stock EL30 (btw thanks to who ever got that for us) with modem still no sound at all. Copied all her data off onto the computer formated the card then copied some stuff back like her pictures and music. Hopefully they won't give me a hard time I am paying for the extended. I am kind of hoping they will offer a upgrade to the touch.
Any suggestions would be grateful.

Good luck!
Gotta figure out the angle to take. Whether to pull a complete phone "What's root? Is that some kind of new Pokemon?" angle. Or the "Yeah I am alright with Android, I just hit a bump. Help me out?"
I usually play stupid. With the added nicety.

You should be fine on the service issue. Good luck on the upgrade attempt.

I doubt they'll upgrade you - my speaker broke and I had a tiny crack on the slider point and they made me pay for a referb even though I was 3 weeks away from an upgrade... so needless to say I didn't upgrade lol

They might depending if the phone is on back order and if they don't have refurbs....just a big "if"

If it is the loudspeaker they have the ability to replace it in store if they have the part. Should only take around an hour maybe more if they are super busy.

Nice thanks for the heads up.

Haven't used the insurance tep on this phone since I got it.(about 16months). I feel like I've wasted abunch a $$$. My phone has normal wear and tear. I want a new phone or else stop paying ins. I found a used epic in good shape for $125..

They had to order me a replacement when I went to get my call speaker fixed because they didn't have any spare parts, so be prepared to wait a day or so also man!

bummer good luck

Our headset speaker broke. I bought another one on eBay, split the display, replaced the speaker and it still didn't work. Took it to sprint, paid $35 and they swapped the entire display /top slider. They said they don't split the display as the policy is to swap put the entire piece. Problems solved go us

Oh yeah, I also had no insurance and was well over a year onto ownership of the phone.

isn't the screen flicker related to the kernel?

No that's only for custom kernels and happens when the rgb values in voodoo control are too high and your screen is too bright

Ahhhhh F it!!

So my streak and I are fighting.
Its stuck in a boot loop and I cant get the mofo working!!
Im sticking with black berry as Ive been using mine with my playbook alot and
since my steak is a ***** I give up on it. I was thinking of selling it for parts.
Its an aws version, I have original battery plus 3 after market ones, data cable and a tpu and rubber outter box cases and extra screen protectors. If theres any interest I'll post up pics.

Ps the screen/digitizer is in perfect working condition.
I am open to offers if any one needs parts.

I switch cells between my blackberry and streak, I put the sim card back in the streak one day and it was boot looping. So I figured Id install streakmod recovery and flash a new rom. That didnt work as it went back into a boot loop. I tried qdl and streakflash and still nothing. Tried going back to stock and still nothing. So F it lol. Its good for parts and lcd/digitizer since the price of them is threw the roof.

boot loop? hmm.. did you try all the wipe data / wipe cache /wipe dalvik cache / sreakmod factory reset / dell factory reset
and last but not least... format the external sd?

I did everything and anything, in all I must have spent a good 65 hrs total.
I really love my streak cause it basically replaced my playbook and crackberry.
I cant figure it out and I just dont care any more lol. Every time I look at it I wanna throw it to a brick wall.

Damn wish I new how to fix it cuz I would trade ya hd2 lol

Well I picked up an s2 so I gotta try to recoop some funds.
So all in all there's the screen that's mint which works, the housing and battery cover, 4 batteries and 2 external chargers, 1 smoke tpu case and 1 rubber otter case. 100 shipped to the USA and Canada.

Rooted Nexus 4 sent to Google.

So yesterday evening I sent in my Nexus 4 to get a replacement due to my battery dying on me out of no where. The phone was rooted with aokp installed. I tried everything to try and boot it up and get it into fast boot to unroot but there was no luck there. So my question is have any nexus 4 owners that have had to get an RMA send there's in rooted? If so was Google able to get your phone up therefore causing you to pay for the replacement?

every device that ive ever sent back to google to get rma'd has been bootloader unlocked, root, custom rom/kernel. never a problem. last one was my nexus 7, stopped charging. generally, if its hardware related, theyll take care of it.

I don't see you having an issue it's a hardware fault.

At least 1 person has already been denied RMA because they unlocked the bootloader, so they care.

I find that rather odd... I wonder if there was more to the story..
In the past I have sent Google unlocked, rooted, and custom ROM'd Nexus 7, a Galaxy Nexus, and a Nexus 10...
Never heard a peep from them..

I can't find the thread (guy probably deleted it) but basically the guy told the rep he unlocked the phone and he was then referred to some other department that then denied his RMA.

Say that I got approved for a RMA and when they receive my phone they don't spot any problem? Will I need to pay the full price of the new phone they send to me?

[Q] Water damage

So I got pushed in the pool and needless to say phone got wet, turned it off immediately and shoved it in a bowl of rice, after a week when I plug it in to a power source it says battery is full and boot loops now if I hold the V down it goes into the bootloader screen but the power button doesn't let me select anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: I can get to TWRP but won't fully boot up, also I noticed there isn't a battery percentage in TWRP. Battery dead?

Open it up and look inside by power button connection, it might be corroded. Just use a toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol (dont use alot just a small amount and scrub til corrosion is gone) then let it dry and put everything back together.

That's the problem tho, as soon as I unplug it it dies, I'm pretty sure the battery is fried. I ordered another one already it was only $30 so I'll try that.
