Replacement Epic

Hello all, I'm from over at the shift section lol and no I'm not trolling. I was wanting to see if ANYONE has an extra epic, or if anyone has an epic they don't want anymore. I'm trying to find one VERY reasonably priced. The condition doesn't matter as long as it works and the screen is better than decent. Someone please help me out here I'm dying to have that samoled and used my damn upgrade on the shift.

Sorry bub, I love my Samsung Epic. I am running it with Gingerbread. You know what the best thing is some dude is working on port HTC Sense to the Samsung Epic. Dude you are screwed. Try posting an ad on craigslist too, if you have not already done this. You might find some sucker who has the Samsung Epic with Enclair. You can probably tell them that your phone is better because it has a better operating system or some crap that that. Good luck they say a sucker is born every minute.
P.S. Maybe this person might possibly sell you his Epic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086880

I think you should try BestBuy, they're giving out Epics for FREE w/ new contract/upgrade. Buying an unactivated used one can cost quite a bit still. Might as wel grab yourself a new one.

well i hope you had insurance then

you should have flushed it. most electronics don't recover after water damage. your best chance would be to pull the battery and let the phone sit in a very warm place for a few days and try to dry it out.I doubt it will work but its worth a try

yea im using motorola atrix now

If you hadn't dropped it in water or anything, then you should be fine with the warranty

Check to see if the white circle under the battery (bottom right) is still white. If it is, do a warranty exchange.

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.

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!!

Anyone want a epic w/o a working screen?

Alright well I had these opening on the side of my epic form dropping it so much and one day I had it in the bathroom while the shower was running and I think the steam killed the screen. it slowly "Faded to black" literally it took like two days lol. It's been two weeks and Im finally calling it quits and getting a new one. Im considering sending it out if anyone wants to play with it, if you fix it I may be able to buy it from you at a reasonable price. But my main question is, does anyone want it?

stop!
Just wannna make sure you know how assurion works:
1. report a phone as broken
-required to send in device
-100 dollar deductible
2. report devices as lost
-phone blacklisted from all further sprint services, bad esn
-100 dollar deductible
3. report device as stolen
-require police report
-100 dollar deductible
-black listed esn.

I have a screen laying around. I'll totally grab it from you and fix it. PM me if your serious buddy.

I have one of these too. But I don't have insurance since the phone isn't worth the deductible. Just bought another. And it was cool watching it fade.

Eh I think I toasted it now, don't dip your phone in 91% rubbing alcohol? Lol I figured I'd try it since I was getting a new phone anyways. Now theres a blotch of rainbow in the middle lmao. Thanks for the offer though.

I replaced basically my whole phone for 48 bux.

Play back to life!!!!

My plays flex cable bit the dust a few months ago but now I have successfully brought it back to life and it works just as good as ever!!
Ps. Installing the flex cable is not fun or easy lol for those who want to try. I broke the first flex cable I ordered doing it and had to order a second but now she works great! Prolly keep this as a secondary phone while im still in a rogers contract.

Another flex cable bites the dust. SE really went to town with the cheap components they used.
My PLAY will be out of warranty in about 4 months, thanks to the 2 year warranty in the uk, so I plan on opening and closing it several hundred times until it breaks so I can send it to the service centre to be fitted with a new one.

Its not the quality of the cable thats the problem it rubs against a metal peice everytime u open and close it. All they really had to do was put a plasitic protector over that metal peice lol. The stupid slide thing is riveted shut so I cant really do anything myself just keep throwing cables at it lol only 12 bucks on ebay

Hey can you link me where to get that flex cable? Mine went bad yesterday. Do you by chance have a guide or any pointers to change the cable as well? Thanks, I really appreciate your help.

They're on ebay all the time. Mine wore out but it was under warranty, they sent me a new phone as a replacement. I had already moved on to a modern Android phone so my brand new PLAY is still in a box. I like to take it out and look at it sometimes.
