[Q] Cracked MT4G screen, need some opinions.

Hey guys,
I'm new to the website, new to android but loving it so far.
I would really appreciate any opinions here. My girlfriend and I both bought our phones about a month ago. Mine has the tmobile extended warrenty (which is not something I would usually get, but it's a new phone plan and I can cancel so I said yes for now) hers does not. Well of course (I saw it coming) she dropped her phone and has a terrible crack down the screen.
I was wondering if anyone has an opinions on what I should do
Are there any good screen replacement sites anyone has tried that are trust worthy? Or would a better option be purchasing the screen myself and trying to install it (not sure how difficult something like this would be but wouldn't mind the challenge if it is a viable option)
Last thing I was thinking was just filing a lost phone claim for my phone and paying the deductible which is $130 dollars.
Anyway any help would be awesome, thanks.

I used to work for HTC based here in Houston, TX.
We repaired and refurbished all HTC phones for ATT, Tmo and so on and so forth.
It's not easily done at home. Especially with phones that had touch screens.
Torque screwdrivers to get the right tightness, air compressors to clear dust from the screen and other tools needed to separate parts of the phone without damaging them.
In my opinion, and it's not a professional one,claim the lost and pay the 130.
It's easier than going through all the trouble.
And from the only site I came across, they sold digitizers/lcd for 99.99 I believe.
I don't remember the site though. I've already deleted the bookmark.
Hope this helps.

But if you claim a lost phone can't they find out that you're lying because they can see that your sim is still in that phone?

You'd have to call Tmo and freeze your SIM, which means you'd need a new one.
You can talk yourself out of having to pay for a new sim card. (Trust me.)
They can even make a note of it and you can pick it up at a Tmo corporate retail store.
But you would have to take the new phone for yourself and the old one for your girl.
Just better played that way.

and what if they freeze it based of the IMEI which isn't on your sim... then you would pay 130 for nothing...

You would need to really lose your phone. Asurion isn't dumb and they will prosecute for fraud. Just an fyi if you do start using the same phone again that was lost its gonna be bad.

Thanks for the replys so far, how about sites like upicom.com
Has anyone had any experience with something similar?
I think that claiming my phone lost would be too risky.

They can't freeze a phone, it doesn't belong to them. The SIM is a different story.
You're suggesting something that doesn't make sense.
But anyway. An opinion was asked for and I gave it.
Sorry if this is causing some drama.
Good luck.

I would like it hear from as many people as possible, obviously the final decision is mine to make.
I had a couple iphones before this mytouch, caseless and had no problems bc I took care of it. She didnt make is past the third week...

That sucks man.
I was just out at Upicom to look at some iphones for my wife.
The guy I talked to out there seemed really knowledgeable.
I'd say give them a try. Via their website it says they fix the MT4G LCD for 130.
Good luck.

IMHO
i would just call tmobile, tell them your phone fell and has a cracked screen.
use your warranty for your gf phone, and ship back the cracked one once you receive the replacement. No fraud, and your on the clear.

Don't do asurion. The deductible is 130 yes but they also have too approve your claim. And you have to pay an extra 50 if your claim gets processed

You don't pay extra for the claim its 130 regardless

Huh? No you don't.

So I have to take my evo to a repair center

Screens pulling away from the housing (5th replacement). No worries there quick unroot and its good to go.
What's got me puzzled is that I was told that sprints still out of evos.. new and refurbished? I'm a bit pulled on this could have something to do with what's going on in Japan?
I understand the evo/android is popular but to still be out of stock is crazy
from my phone duh

Don't the Sprint repair center carry replacements so even if they are out of stock you might still get one?
And yes, it blows me away the phone is still hard to get

Sprint or Asurion? Or both? Asurion told me 14 days when I needed a replacement but actually got it to me in about 10. When I did get the phone, it was brand new and not a refurb, which made me happy and the well worth the wait.

I dont get this either. I just received a letter in the mail stating the insurance is going up $1 / month. When I need a replacement EVO I need it now. Not tomorrow. /End Rant

I'm actually going to pick up my replacement EVO today, it did take a few extra days do to back orders, but it's in now.
I had the same issue, screen pulling away, this will be my third.

It's crazy to me when I hear people having so many replacements. Are you guys really that unlucky... or are you that hard on your phones?

Pretty good deal. I love how they advertise the picture of a white i9100 for the front and the back of the real Note lol. But I've bought from them and they're legit, but my keyboard box was all beat up, the keyboard was pristine. It took them about 1-2 weeks for my keyboard order to arrive, I believe as there is so much demand for the things they sell.

Dude, ive been married almost 3 years now and I know the work-around for your issue. You order it and when it shows up at your door and she sees it you say: "baby, summer is almost here. I got this for you so you can relax by the pool and read a nice book, or listen to music, or even watch a movie if you'd like" The she gives you a big hug and a kiss and when she gets tired of the damn thing its all yours.
PS: replace pool with balcony/backyard if no pool is available.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus from Newegg for $421.03

Newegg just dropped the price of the GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus (i9250) to $449.99. However, when you combine it with a Simple Mobile sim card ($2.99), you get the combo discount and it drops the price to only $439.48. MOD EDIT: referral links.
Having said that, if you want peace of mind and want to be able to return the phone if need be without extra costs, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus from Amazon, even if it costs a few more bucks, may still be preferable.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I'm looking to get an unlocked Nexus.
Curious, what's all these "versions" of the Nexus with these Japanese names? Like people will say "I have a GN yakuju" or something...

Those symbolise the various builds of nexii, everything except Yakju gets updates from samsung and have some minor changes

I see. How is one supposed to know which phone is which? Does it say on the box?
There are reviewers saying the one from Newegg is a Yakju build.
Also, that a few of them have arrived already opened and seemingly used (no introductory sign-in screen).
Makes me a little wary...

You are welcome. You want yakyu as it is the build that gets the updates first and directly from Google. If your device didn't come with yakyu, you can use the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit from this site to put yakyu on it quite easily. Having said that, the average person will not notice the difference between yakyu and other builds.

You can install an app that will tell you the build info. It will not say it on the box and if you ask the seller, they will likely not know or provide incorrect info.
People on XDA prefer yakyu. Everyone else doesn't care and yakyuxw is not per se bad. Having said that, people on XDA also don't care what it comes with as they can just install yakyu using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit.

onthecouchagain, check this out: [HOW-TO] Change to 4.0.4 yakju from yakjuxw (or ANY other version)

I got mine from handcent and it got to me in 2 days from the uk with free shipping

How does the manufacturers warranty from Samsung come into play with these phones being brought from on-line retailers? Is it an American warranty or does it have to be shipped overseas for unforeseen problems?
Ebay still has their daily deal available for 479.00.

Am I being petty, pebble blue finish not perfect

Just got my blue SGS3 today and I've noticed one area where the finish appears scratched, but UNDERNEATH the glaze. Hard to photograph with my crappy old phone, but the photo makes it look less noticeable than it really is.
Should I keep it or send it back? Anyone else got this prob?

I see what you mean. Maybe that's the reason the blue was delayed in the UK?

maybe thats the issue they had for recalling all the blues. Yours slipped though the net

Blue went back for a respray .

It's not a cheap phone and it's brand new... I wouldn't be happy with that finish either and would get it replaced.

^^ this. For a phone that costs $700, I'd think anything that looks like it shouldn't be there warrants a replacement.

Take that ish back!

Well I've called up my service provider and they've agreed to replace it with another new one - only problem is that they aren't getting another batch in for 2 weeks new one won't arrive til 27th June...
I can still keep this one til then, but it means I have to baby it/not take it out for fear of dropping it/not root it, basically treat it as a loaner.
I'm half tempted to say f*ck it, I'll just keep it - but you're all right, this is an expensive machine, I don't want a faulty paint job! Who's to say it won't get worse as well, since it's a prob with manufacturing process.

Get a replacement and ask for bill credit for your trouble... you're going to have to re input all your apps and info... worth a shot

Already ahead of ya - they've agreed to waive the 2wks fees (£17) that I'll be without my "own" S3. I thought about going ape and demanding a whole month (£34), but took pity on the girl in the call centre in India.
Plus it's not really Three's fault, it's Samsung's fault. Three haven't been too bad to me so far, so I won't be an a**hole difficult customer to them until it's warranted

I'd recommend that you tell them your situation that you'll keep it till the new stock arrives and they ship it to you. I remember having a similar issue with my Motorola razor v9 flip phone (att USA). They sent me a new razor and asked me to return the defective phone once I've received the new one. This should work for them.
Ps: Lol looks like have a thing for Indian girls jk.

keep it and fanny about with it to your hearts content till they replace it. just remember and revert it to stock and triangle away before you post it back to them.

True, but do you honestly think they are going to open every box and inspect for bad craftsmanship? If they were part of the assembly process then sure, but they merely order en mass and then either drop ship to their customers or reship from their warehouse.
I think the OP is doing the right and ethical thing by not blowing this out of proportion. To many people these days try and milk every little "mistake" that cross their path. But to each their own, the important thing is that he is getting a replacement with no down time and a few bucks for his troubles.

Think it has something to do with Apple, whether they want to admit it or not. Had a black version been available, I'd have gotten that one, but I've settled with the white version for now(was going for the blue version, but after seeing it in person I'm glad I went with white when the former was delayed).
It'll probably not be that long lived if the Note 2 gets released in October.
