So just got home and found out the wife dropped her phone and broke the gorilla glass. It was in a Seido Active X case.
She took it to a repair center and they said no insurance, buy a new phone.
Haven't several people on here gotten this issue fixed for like $35? Contract not up for like a year, so full price not an option.

I didn't, and it cost me $35 for a replacement.
Should be free with TEP $35 w/o ...
but i believe recently sprint has changed their view on this and no longer replacing screens so cheap

Yeah the $35 is not for accidental damage. That is exactly what the insurance is for....sorry. You can find one on Ebay for about $125.

Actually, if the crack is more than an inch they dont have to touch it. I just replaced my glass and i have TEP. Charged me the $100 deductible because it was more than an inch. Trust me i went round and round trying to get it done for free.

Thanks guys. I knew somebody had gotten theirs done w/o TEP.
Wife just called her cousin's husband who works for Sprint and he said they've cracked down on replacing Epic hardware. He is gonna check to see what he can do tomorrow so I'm crossing my fingers.
If nothing else, it's back to the Rumor 2 for her!!

It's not like she made use of it, what with it being bone stock and all.
I thought about adding a line and getting myself a new phone, but the development for the other phones is awful!!

I would check out indy cellular repair... h t t p : / / indycrc . c o m /
they can give you an idea on cost vs buying a new or used phone. You can mail it to them or if you are in indy you can drop it off.

Yeah I keep saying I need insurance, but between the 2 of us, we've had 9 phones over the last 10 years and this is the first one that has ever been broken (other than warranty issues).

100$ for smart phone only 50$ for non smart phone
tell her to live with it and think about her poor defenseless phone every time she makes a phone call.. Or worse case, buy her a flip phone..
or you could try buying a bad ESN phone off ebay and see about switching the glass.. Maybe you could find a tutorial somewhere.. Either way.. good luck
Samsung does repairs too. Might call them and see how much.

You guys know how much Sprint replacing our Epic4Gs for w/ insurance these days? $100?
Also, you think they'd let me switch phones instead? I'm trying to wait out thus galaxy S3 but my severely cracked screen is bothering me.

Yep replacement will be 100
And its a maybe depending on your rep... but most likely no.

OP has a cracked screen - that and water damage takes deductible to $100 with asurion. If the phone (ie a replacement) is still under its 1 year warranty, and doesn't have one of the above 2 issues then Asurion will swap it for free.
My space bar is split down the middle (still works just annoying), my battery won't hold a charge, every now and then while charging several battery widgets showed the batter charged but loosing power, one of those 3 triangle things (where the battery is, the part that touches the gold squares on the batter) is bent.
Will I have to pay $100 or can I get a new epic free? I had this phone since February 2011 (or 2010 I forget but it was the february after the phone came out)

Take a pick and press in on one of the ext antenna port. This will kill you signal and they will say hardware and replace it for $35. If you have water or broken screen, no luckat all. Simple.

They wouldn't replace mine when I lost it. Signed up for Sprint insurance and now it's only $100.
Its a waste of a $100. Hopefully the Nexus comes out at a good price.

Almost the same money in all ways. If you didnt brake the screen and just the glass, youll prob break it trying to replace it. Also it wont feed the same after you get it that far apart. I would say Ebay and switch the board out. Insurance if you got it. Like I said tho, about the same money. Global Direct is the best place for parts. A few bucks higher than ebay but 100% genuine and will have the adhesive made for it. PM me if you need a price, they hide them.

OK so I bought my nexus 7 thru staples yesterday. I usually don't buy store warranties but they suckered me into getting a 1yr warranty with accidental coverage for 40 bucks. He said as long as I don't activate it I can return it. Now I can say my nexus seems fine. No screen lifts or dead spots so I think I lucked out there. I'm just wondering if that warranty is worth holding onto. Will these notorious issues pop up later in ownership? I mean honestly its a piece of mind for like less then 3 bucks a month I guess.

Selling my streak had it for a little over a year. Everything in the phone works great nothing broken. Very minute scratches on the screen (obviously since its huge!)
Comes rooted and unlocked (originally bought from best buy and used in at&t but tested to work on T-Mobile and cosmote/tim in Greece.) Post here for any other information or pm me.

On a phone as old as the Streak the accessories really don't add value... that's just what the market dictates.
You'll be lucky to get $150 for it

I'll sell mine for $100. In the spirit of full disclosure, I cracked the corner of the screen when it slid from my pocket and hit the tile floor from about 18 inches. Minor, but I replaced it with a standard, non-gorilla glass version about 2 years ago. It's been in an Otter case since then. I've tried a few ROMs from the different developers here, just ran out of time and interest playing around with it. For the price, I'll retain the second 16G microSD card.
the streak 5 in greece now, it cost only 220euro NEW

no, that's pretty much impossible. I bought the entire gorilla a glass, LCD, and controller on ebay as 1 unit. I think it shipped from Hong Kong.

it's been at least 2 years but I imagine it was around 50 dollars.
In the nearby mall, they have a kiosk where you can recycle your old cell devices. On a lark I checked to see how much they would give me for the Streak in perfect condition.
$15.
I laughed. But it highlight's the possibility that even $150 may no longer be a reasonable secondhand price for the Streak.

Just bc that's what they trade it in for that doesn't mean that's what its worth...similar to trading in a car at a dealership. Obviously they will need to make the profit aswell.
