Just a word of caution when changing covers. Do not press to hard on the screen when pushing the cover on. I know have a cracked screen and absolutely heart broken. So to that end, anyone suggest any good insurance companies in the UK?

Sorry to hear man. I would cry hard. Hope you find some help
From the giant: Galaxy Note
ah that's sad news sorry to hear that
I don't know if you are in the UK but if you are then many bank accounts give free insurance for phones, etc.that option might be there in other countries too.but you need the right type of bank account for that.my bank account gives me free travel insurance, break down cover for my car and phone insurance among other things.a lot cheaper than getting these separately.
Cracked screen
I dropped min today from 20cm height and first 5 minutes later it cracked in 2 pieces so I feel your pain. I checked what the spare part costs, and it was 285 euro's for the AMOLED+Glass apparently it is glued together so everything has to be replaced, and then you need to add the work costs. So it probably will be cheaper to buy a used one and sell yours for parts
Just broke my screen the other day. Getting out of my car, note was between me and car door. Didnt end well. 250 for lcd combo on ebay.
It reminds me of my first scratch on my vehicle, dont want to touch it.

No, this is wrong. Manufacturers lie about only way to replace glass+display. I broke the Galaxy S screen, and at samsung service they told me to replace everything, and that I have no chance to replace only screen. But I decided to try replace it by my self. I buy glass for Galaxy S on ebay for 9$. Then, using guitar pick I removed shards of glass. Then pasted on the sides of the glass with glue. And that's it! Fits perfectly. Works even better than before.
Yeah I need to upgrade current account to get it...don't have a problem doing it but was just unsure how long it will be before I can claim. But I also thought it might take longer to get it repaired than going for a mobile phone specialist insurer...also with the bank insurance..I know a while back my brother claimed and they didn't even ask for his old phone that was easily repaired!
Also just like to add...I really didn't apply that much pressure to the screen been, nursing this baby. So be careful. Wouldn't wish it on anyone to go through the pain I am.

Same happened to me but the screen didn't get one scratch. The only thing it got was two tiny marks on the frame.
Yes, i'm extremely lucky.

Getting and claiming phone insurance after your phone is broken is fraud!
Either insure your phone beforehand, or deal with the consequences of not doing so, but don't break the law, and put the premiums up for people who had more foresight than you!

I think also like you !!!
;-)
I would strongly suggest you did not claim for it after the event as this is a criminal offence.
You may however, wish to check if your household (contents) insurance covers such damage and/or if your credit card covers accidental damage if you used it.

You can go to most shops and get your Galaxy S fixed for 90-100 euro where they only switch the glass but with the Note you can't find anyone, only to replace the whole thing. I have an insurance but was not sure if I was going to use it because it is my 2 device in 1 year that went busted. But it is painful to be remembered every time I turn it on so I will find out what the costs is going to be and use my insurance. I guess not using the insurance when you have it is to commit fraud
:crying:So my girlfriend managed to drop my beautiful white s3 and now i wanna drop her ass. somehow she managed to break it the same day i rooted it and started to truly enjoy it.
Screen cracked at the top corner now theres a spider crack all over the top of the screen with a couple of cracks that run down to the middle phone still works, but the crack is killing me on the inside hehe. Now funny part is i bought the defender for it the day i bought it cause i knew it was too weak to handle a hard drop, and i've been checking the mail for it for 2 weeks now. then she comes and does that just the day before it arrived. After crying inside a while and just wanting to punch someone i managed to start looking at options.
checked online and the parts cost $240-$290, bell and best buy can fix it by it'll cost at least $325. I also bought the best buy protection plan (12.99/month). am thinking I should be able to find some cheap non-samsung parts for much cheaper than that, replace the screen and give it to best buy for an exchange as long as something is wrong with it (not sure wt though )

even tmo's coverage of 7.99/mo allows us to pay 100 deductible for a replacement phone...
Best buy should cover it for you, for free.
Yeah... I pay 9.99 for coverage through Best Buy. No deductible, no questions, replaced in a couple of days. What did you sign up for?

Only thing I could think of is they might do it different over there in Canada. I think that is where the OP is from.
Just posted about this in the other cracked screen thread...
"Missed my damn pocket on Saturday night, and dropped mine on the garage floor. Got a small crack about as wide a finger nail from the right side of the ear piece curving up to the edge. Which is strange, cause the only other mark on the phone is a small scuff at the bottom of the back cover. But, I have BB insurance, so its in being fixed with no deductible! I've dropped my epic a few times in the last year, and not scratch on the screen. Makes me wonder what they changed in the formula from og gorilla glass to gorilla glass 2. 
As much as I don't want to add all the bulk to it, the Otterbox Defender, or Trident Kraken may be in its future...

not sure how you guys manage your finances, but if there is a fee, shouldn't see be paying for it?
If I dropped my girl's laptop, phone, crashed her car (or w/e) and we weren't pretty much married, I would cover it to get whatever it is fixed.
I dropped my friend's motorcycle helmet while handing it to him several years ago. he didn't have a good grip and as I passed it, it slipped into his hand from mine and fell to the concrete floor. it was still intact, but had nice bruising from the concrete. I apologized and got him a new one within a week...

The PEP from Best Buy in Canada is different than the one in the US. It does not cover physical damage, liquid damage, basically they call it "stupidity". I'm not calling it that, that's how they word it. PEP from Best Buy only extends the manufacturer's warranty. So instead of getting refurbs, you get brand new replacements. And you can pick a different phone if you want. I posted in another thread indicating that no carrier or 3rd party store in Canada offers insurance anymore. At least not that I'm aware of. It sucks because Best Buy charges $12.99 + taxes per month for the PEP. I have 2 PEP's from Best Buy. On one of my PEP's, I already got 3 brand new replacement phones. On my
2nd one I got one brand new replacement in which I chose a different model.
So both already paid itself.

Wow I can't imagine trying to sell that to customers. It's already hard enough trying to get people to get the 9.99 plan that replaces the phone with no deductible. Customers say "if I break the phone I'll buy a new one for 200, not realizing the phone is $650.

I think the deductible for our phone is $150. Which it's still cheaper than replacing just the screen.

Don't even have my phone or actually even purchased mine yet... this made me buy a case regardless soooo... thanks, haha.
If you wanna be technical about it then she's my fiance... I'd expect her to pay otherwise for sure lol... I guess a broken 4.8" screen makes you a bit bitter lol...
Yea best buy Canada is another story they do not cover physical or water damage... Am gonna try calling visa today to see if there is any insurance that my purchase can be covered under... But after reading online about this am no longer hopeful for anything....
Next time buy the case before even thinking of buying the phone... And do not trust a girl with a delicate thing like your phone...

So I have a S4 that was dropped in water and everything works great. . . other than the touchscreen. The picture is clear as can be on it, but I just cant touch it.
So I am looking for ideas on what to do with such a device.
Any ideas would be great.

buy circuit cleaner, buy a cheap toothbrush with no rubber bristles, open up your phone, remove your motherboard, spray brush and motherboard and quickly clean before liquid dries up, also do the same thing to the flex cables connection ports to the lcd and digitizer. lastly for good measure spray the charging port flex connectors and the actual charging port are cleaned. if it doesnt work you might need a new digitizer + lcd assembly.
Throw it in the garbage or claim on insurance. While sometimes phones recover after a water soaking, you will usually end up with a paperweight after the real damage begins to materialize later on.

If the phone was waterlogged recently, I would say to let it dry for a few days to a week,before turning it on again.

I did claim the insurance on it, and kept it. So I have a extra one to mess around with. . . . if I can get it working.
I am not sure if it will work, but I am thinking of getting a cord to do video out and use a bluetooth or use mouse and seeing where I can go from there.
I know some phones have chrome OS as a ROM so I might try that.
If you can't get it to work...
If you can't get the phone to work, you can sell it for "parts or repair" on eBay. People do this a lot with their broken phones and you can get a pretty good amount of money for a newer phone like the S4. The person who buys it will either try to fix it or use it for spare parts. I've seen broken iPhones go for hundreds of dollars. Trust me, even if it works now, it won't work a few months from now. I had a phone that got waterlogged and after it dried out it worked just fine but it died a few months later.

If I am going to pay the same price for a lost phone vs a broken phone then I will call it lost and keep a half broken phone around for a fun project.
And I am almost sure they get their money worth...
$10 a month for 3 years is 360 plus 150, so I have paid them $520 in the long run. Now they give me some refurb phone, and I am going to say they are still making out very well. . . and that is just counting the insurance I pay on that phone. . . . so I have not even added in the money I pay or the other two lines.
Just saying. . . .
Also, not really the point to what I am asking, I am more looking for fun or cool ideas as to what I can try with it.
But the price of phones are so high only because we all pay the price and let them charge it. I mean do you really think it cost $600 to build a S4?
With 27.2 billion US dollars in profit for 2012 I am going to take a guess and say they are not hurting? Well thats just how I feel about it.
Well I might try to repair it, but after that I am still trying to find something cool to do with it. . . . . I dont want it just sitting in my desk for the next year.
Just an idea
Here's an idea:
For a small amount of money you can get some really good emulators on the Play Store that will allow you to play Play Station 1, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance and PSP games on your phone. There are also emulators for older consoles, too. Download ROMs (but only for games that you paid for) and turn it into a dedicated gaming phone!
Try these:
FPse
DraStic
SuperN64
PPSSPP
My Boy!
or you can paste plastic googley-eyes on it, sharpie yourself a crazy-mouth, and use it to keep your important documents from blowing off your desk!
Hey guys i have been a bit busy in the last 3 to 4 months because of my job therefore wasn't as active on XDA as i always have been but today i have been forced to come on XDA again due to an unfortunate accident which my Galaxy Note 3 faced in the morning.
The glass on my Galaxy Note 3 has cracked..........it fell from a height of just 4 inches and bam! the glass has cracked,the screen is working fine and the touch response is fine as well but the glass has cracked.......i am surprised(infact shocked that it cracked after falling from a height of just 4 inches where as on the other hand my good old HTC One X has fallen from a height of 6+ feet 5 to 6 times and it is still working fine).
So my questions are(especially who are living in Pakistan):
1.What can i do now..........where and how can i replace the glass?
2.What will be the estimated cost of replacing the glass?
3. Has anyone else faced this unfortunate accident?
Your feedback will be highly appreciated and i'll be grateful if you guys reply me ASAP.
Regards.
1- Samsung Service Centre? At least here in my place they replace the glass/LCD/digitizer.
2- As you are from Pakistan I am not going for that conversion route. Here it costs around ₹9000. They won't change the glass only, the digitizer will also be changed.
3- No, and don't have plan to face this type of accident either I have a bumper case however.
You can't really compare a phone's fall incident with another phone's, cause the falls itself are different. The corners are the most important place of a phone, and maybe your phone dropped on one of its corner, thus causing the glass/LCD to break. Note 3's overall build quality is more than good, so you are pretty unfortunate here

Thanks for replying bro.
WOA....9000 INR which means 14500 PKR that's quite a lot btw my model is N9005 so obviously it is not under warranty will that matter?
And also tell me which case u r talking about? Can u provide any link or photos of the case?
Anytime bro.
Yeah, it's costly. Because of the high quality LCD (or AMOLED in this case) panel used in Note 3. Also you might want to add another 1000 INR with that as my colleague who replaced his Note 3's glass has very good contact and all with the local Samsung SC, so he might have got it for slightly less than normal charge. You just visit your nearest SC and ask, see how much they ask for it.
And yeah, he also has a N9005, no official warranty here either for that, but AFAIK all the SC here in Calcutta accepts N9005 and do what's necessary. For software troubles they ask ₹500 fixed, and for hardware depends on the material which needs to be changed or replaced.
If they don't want to accept the phone as it's the N9005 just tell them you ARE going to pay for it, they will take it instantly
PS: One more thing, I have no idea how the SC people are in your place, but here they are a bunch of muppets. They handle all products like ****, so do WARN them beforehand that to make sure not to scratch anything else, like the camera lens cover, the frames etc. I have had to visit SC twice, once for my S2 and once for my Note 2, and believe it or not both times they scratched the camera lens cover and for S2 they even scratched the display! However they had to replace it for free because of my continuous offending statements, but a hassle is a hassle, so kindly remember that.
I always say, stay away from Service Centres at any cost. But your problem is severe and there's no option but to visit a SC anyway.
Best of luck. And don't forget to inform here what happened.

As it is your colleague have you seen yourself(or can u ask him if you have not)the screen after the replacement.......someone told me that once you replace it(be it any local shop or Samsung Service Center)a gap occurs between the display and glass due to which dust can pass in the gap after some time......is that really true?
And once again thanks bro coz you are the only one who bothered to reply and help me.

Yeah, course I have seen it myself. I meet him once every week.
There is NO gap whatsoever, none at all. It looks one hundred percent same as before, if I didn't know the panel has been replaced I would not be able to tell something was changed at all.
I guess people reply by depending on locations, especially when it's about servicing and stuffs. We use all non contract phones, but in EU and US mostly all are contracted phones, and their service process is somewhat different. However I reply, and will continue to do so, if the query is known subject to me, doesn't matter if it's midnight or I am in middle of sleep. Helping others IS the true purpose of a community
Oh I was talking about the Amzer bumper case by the way. It's a very cheap case actually, just 700 INR, but for small drops it will be more than enough, but if you want real protection then you shall aim for UAG or Otterbox cases, yeah they look awful, especially the latter one, but compromise has to be made one way or another.

Bothering me? LOL, not at all.
It took them three days to get the job done. That's because the display was not available in their possession, it came from Bangalore or some place, that's why three days. They clearly said if they had the panel by themselves they would do the job within one day.

Even before this, i have made a thread where i confirmed this bend problem, but now ill make this, as we got more official proof.
Xperia Z5 Premium has a serious bending issue, it bends like ... I dont even know! It can EASILY BEND IN YOUR DANG POCKETS! So watch out, carry it in a bag or something? Hhhmmm i dont, but it sounds better than carrying the bending thing in our pockets. But im still after this carrying it in my front pocket, because i dont do anything, jump or run or anything with it in the pocket.
>>>> https://youtu.be/gVPa8sNY1Xw <<<< (Might be painful to watch)
IT WON'T BEND BADLY IF YOU DONT RUN, JUMP OR DO ANYTHING WHAT MAKES IT UNDER ANY PRESSURE! ( the problem here seems to be that you really dont need alot of pressure to bend it!!! ). Ive been seeing that climbing stairs is too much for the phone, it can bend from even that. (mine did, slightly bended). Mine is also silghtly bended from the middle. (the other way, its bending in to the shape of a pipe)
As we are mostly happy owners of this device, we need to work together to find solutions!! As i dont have a case, i have no idea will it stop the bending.
>Case owners comment below for their experience!<
>All case owners reply and comment their case and opinion and whatever you want<
>THIS THREAD WAS MADE TO INFORMATE PEOPLE WHO ARE ABOUT TO BUY THE DEVICE AND OFC THE OWNERS OF THIS DEVICE. IN THE ANSWERS WE ARE TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM! NOT TO MAKE NO ONE BUY IT!<

I took my Z5 premium for 4 2-3 days snowboard trips and it's in my arm pocket of snowboard jacket, I took alot of falls and rolls and phone is fine... If someone bends the phone on purpose for sure it will bend... Which phone will not bend if you bend it with force??? I was using a clear case and it looks horrible with scratches and finger prints so I took it out from the case. Come on guys if you are afraid of scratching damaging it, only solution is DO NOT USE...

You've got to have quite a ham for a head to bend your phone
I'm using one of those devilcase's since the very beginning (actually, I ordered the case way before I ordered the phone) and I'm very happy with it. It fits like a second skin on the phone (a second skin, just a few mm thick aluminium) and it makes pretty sure nothing will happen to the phone (for front and back I use hardened glass protection)
I would recommend it everybody, though I bought it just for the looks
lol

If you have a banking account you can connect a PayPal account to it and pay with PayPal yourself.

Naaa but thx xd
This is beyond ridiculous lol. If you bend a phone hard enough, yes they will bend. Some will bend more than others. But I highly doubt you're going to put it in your front pocket sit down and get up to a bent phone. If so you might need to lay off the skinny jeans. Even in the video the guy looked like he was struggling to bend it. I'd say this is a non-issue.
Big yawn. Oh my gd, I bent my phone and now it's bent.
The majority of the people that bought this device is probably extremely rich and will probably get a new one just like that. I was lucky enough to get it for $470 and will probably cry if it broke or bent.

Maybe haha, in my country the device costs 2 salaries of work .. but i make the difference if i buy it in usa where there costs 1 salary for me, in fact really its expensive but if someone can save money, no doubt, can buy it
Buying tempered glass protector front and back, without trying to bend it then you are safe, that's the idea..

Wow, that's insane. A phone that costs one salary at best. You're right, if you save money for a purchase I guess everyone can afford, but I would never spend that budget of my salary on a phone. I guess it's up to your interest in that category to spend that budget. If you like the device, it becomes an investment, so there's nothing wrong in it.
