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.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/230779485447
And, new screens can be had for $37.50.

On another note, I would love to take the phone, i'll even pay shipping!

Nice job hahaha, and thanks for the links, I think ill give it up though, but I do warn you, I think it is toasted. The phone does still power up and I know it functions fully, but the screen is black, and there's a blotch of rainbow now (in the light) from a "alcohol bath"

I could do that, there's not any noticable blemishes on it. If you honestly need it I think that takes priority over just having it. No offense Kitteh .

If he did pay the esn is cleared. I got an evo 4g that way. I bought with a bad esn more than a year ago when they were going for 300. I paid 200 just cause of the bad esn. A few months later I went to a friend at sprint and she checked it for me and it was cleared. Only way to get a bad esn is to report it stolen or not pay the bill. I'm sure the guy eventually paid the bill

Hey Kenny I'll trade you a cracked screen for that non cracked one you got there...

hellototem.com just offered me 30 bucks for my cracked screen epic. they dont even sell on ebay. i listed it at 5 dollars on a 3 day auction, and it didnt sell. gazzelle.com offered .85 cents.
needless to say i think ill take the 30 dollars offered by hellototem seeing as how i almost cant give this phone away.

Thanks Bmoreboy! It arrived today...nice glue job! I tried everything to get it into download mode but no dice. I got a little knife and sliced away at the glue. It ripped off part of the keyboard including the 1 key.....but miracle it still pressed in. Got it in download mode and odin'd FC09....passed but still stuck on Samsung. Repartitioned, EFS clear and it almost booted once except really really slow. After 20 minutes of the Galaxy S screen I figured I would try Odin again. Still stuck on Samsung. Tried everything from DI18 to EH17 to FC09. I guess it is the wierdest Brick I ever seen. Tried Heimdall too. They all pass and reboot.
If you need the screen Nube, it's yours. But the protective case is glued to it too.

Epic 4g for sale

Just found out I'm eligible for my upgrade so I'm thinking its time for the S3.
I was thinking of listing my Epic with what ever rom you want on it
16gb memory card
Sedio case. Zagg shield on the front.
4 batteries. Oem 1500. Oem 1800. Crappy 1500. Brand new as of Friday Anker 1800
I'm thinking 120 would be decent for that and I can cover shipping in the US cause I got a hook up.
The goal here is paypal. That way I can buy the new phone right away and move my account over cause this is my work phone. I can't afford to be with out it for a day.
Any opinions. Under the shell the thing looks brand new.

:good:

No but she did drop 270 bucks on new clothes for her with out even flinching.
I think she has about 6 months before she can upgrade. She's on verizon and gets real 4g in san diego, so we'll see, but I garantee that if she wants it, she'll buy it no questions asked. For my upgrade I have to sell blood

One less epic in the world

Funny story.. I sold my epic for a hundred bucks to buy my s3. Girls emails me this morning about how to get better battery life. I email her back be a nice guy. She responds that my poor epic fell off the front of her motercycle somewhere on the freeway and I'm thinking I should have sold my beloved epic to someone less destructive. Was apparently her second one

Same thing happened to my friends new evo lte. Fell off the back of his motorcycle o. The highway. Since he was in the first 30 days, asurion said he was screwed on making a claim. They won't replace it even with the deductible.
I told him to wait till after the 30 days is up and try to file the lost phone claim again with a new date.

Insurance

I have scroll down questions and answers for a while and I didn't see this question yet ,sorry if has been post before but I was wondering what insurance most of you got ?
pros and cons ?
BTW I'm on T-Mobile ,(not sure if it makes a difference)
I know most new phones are fragile not just the N4 so Im really thinking of getting insurance for this phone..
Thanks a lot

I don't get any. I never drop my phone and I'm responsible so it doesn't get left at bars or restaurants.
If you're doing something where your phone has a chance of getting damaged like working out, running, playing basketball, etc., just leave it at home.

Trust me , I over protect my investment as well , just got rid of my gs3 that I paid full retail price since the release date and it didn't have not one scratch NO where on the phone ,never dropped and clean it at least once a week ,but accidents do happen and to be honest I didn't really enjoy my s3 that way I should of cause I was really worried to drop it or scratch it so I always had a screen protector and a case so of course it made my display look different as well as the phone .

Unfortunate Event
I bought insurance because the last phone I had had a defect in the screen and it one day shattered. Anyway, I bought the nexus 4 and love it. Had it in a case until the other day. Dropped it right out of my vehicle when I got up. Slid on the pavement a good ways. Well the top right of the screen shattered and left half my touchscreen unresponsive. The back of the phone looked like brand new. Then I guess it put too much pressure on the screen while in my pocket and cracked even more down the rest of the screen. Now the whole touchscreen doesn't work. Ordered a replacement through my insurance costing me $150. It is unfortunate, but I am only paying like half of what a new one costs. =(

I have insurance through tmo and I have a rugged case on my n4...personally I like the look and feel of it. Id like to also add that I am responsible with my phone but things happen, that's why its called an accident because its unintentional.
I'd rather pay the 7 bucks a month and sleep better after all that's what insurance is about, no?

They must have changed their policy because I got insurance on my phone and I bought it through Google. Also, I was never told that it was an extended warranty nor was it even brought up in our conversation.

Let me tell a tale regarding the insurance... I bought the insurance on my last phone, a Vibrant, and will never, ever buy it again.
About 6 months into having my Vibrant, I get a text one day saying something to the effect of: "please return the damaged hardware in order to avoid charges on your phone bill." I call T-mobile and tell them about the text, they say they don't know about the text (turns out they were correct - Asurion sends out the texts), and assure me that it was probably a mistake and that should be the end of it. Two months later, I open up my T-mobile bill and there are TWO charges for 275.00 a piece. This begins a nightmare of epic proportions. Some low life scum had somehow gotten my insurance info and had managed to file two claims on my insurance and had in essence purchased 2 Vibrants for 125 bucks a piece. After literally HOURS on the phone with both T-mobile and Asurion, I finally managed to get the charges wiped and things cleared up, but not before T-mobile threatened to send the outstanding charges to creditors. I thought the story was over - I even used the insurance to replace my Vibrant that had fallen on the pavement and shattered the screen.
Then, about 6 months later, it happened again. And not just once, but FOUR times. I begged and pleaded with Asurion to set some sort of alert on my account so that any new claims would be verified with me (btw it is incredibly easy to make a false claim against the insurance with basic account information. The kicker is that you can have the replacement phone shipped to ANY address simply by using the online claim form) after the first of the four false claims. They said there was nothing they could do. With each new claim, I had to spend hours on the phone. This was made doubly frustrating by the fact that I had indeed made the only legitimate claim against the insurance. Because T-mobile and Asurion are two completely separate companies, I got minimal cooperation to occur between the two. I will say that T-mobile was always patient and understanding throughout, but I think that had largely to do with the fact that I have been a Powertel/T-mobile customer since the mid-90s.
By the time I actually used the insurance, I was only saving 100 bucks off what a Vibrant would have cost me on Craigslist. I would have gladly paid 100 bucks to make all that trouble and frustration go away. Never again.
