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.

And, new screens can be had for $37.50.

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"

Nexus 4 8GB for $450?

Would anyone in the right mind buy a Nexus 4 8gb right now for $450? I was a Sprint Note 2 fan and dumped it after I moved and couldn't get data. I found a guy willing to drop it off at my work still brand new wrapped.

The nexus 4 is an amazing phone but 8gb space for $450 is simply not worth it.

no. you're paying ~$150 more after shipping & taxes as if you were to wait for one from the play store.

I'm so frustrated over my Sprint Note 2 and using my Atrix 4G on Net10 is getting old. I'm selling the Note 2 for $500 tonight and never going to CDMA again. I will however continue dev work on my Sprint S3 so other users can unlock their CDMA phones to work on GSM.

I'm tired of couriers pushing us around and locking fully functional quadband radios and loading their crapware on. I'm frustrated by couriers/OEMs keeping firmware/driver source to themselves which makes custom roms difficult. I'm tired of locked bootloaders and invalidation of warranties due to rooting.
No more I say, no more!
I'll pay the extra $150 and be happy :laugh:

Cool story. Like I said you need DC-HSDPA to achieve speeds like that, and it isn't nearly as widespread as anyone's LTE.

Don't buy it. Wait for another offer with 16 GB. 8gb are just too less. You'd regret it.
Hang on for a good offer.
In Germany you get new ones on eBay 16gb for $ 400.
Perhaps an opportunity for you??

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
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

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.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

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.

Ordered N4 from Amazon, best way to RMA?

I ordered my 16GB Nexus 4 from a seller on Amazon on December 6th last year, when I was desperate to get my hands on this phone, and this seller had it for only $50 more than the Play store brand new.
Well, now I'm having issues with my N4 and I need to have it repaired or have an RMA done, but since I'm not the original owner I'm not sure if it's possible. The seller I bought it from, who is still actively selling on Amazon, just sent me an email after I asked him if there was any way to get the original order number, and if he can send an email stating that he was transferring ownership to me. All I received was a reply in which he simply said "Nope".
So, now I'm extremely frustrated and not really sure what to do. I need a working phone, but it doesn't look like I'm going to get what I need from the original owner. Any ideas?
Anyone else had a similar experience and was able to overcome it?

I don't know if this is fraud or not but you can tell Google you received it as a gift and they will transfer the warranty over

Strange. I just bought a Nexus 4 on Craiglist (!) a month ago, got its back glass shattered today. I called Google, they told me to call LG. And the LG rep was really nice and gave me a RMA number right away after I gave him the IMEI number. Now I just have to ship the phone to LG and probably pay a hefty sum to have them repair it lol
I guess you can try calling this number that I called: 8007938896
Hope this helps!

If you want to be extreme and really want that RMA you can say that owner passed away. A friend of mine did that and they let the RMA transfer. Not saying you should though.

Amazon MF3 Firmware

Anyone bought one from Amazon recently and received one with the older firmware? I just bought one today and am really hoping it doesn't come with MF3 (I may just return it if it does)

The longer people wait after the MF3 update came out, to get a device - the more likely you are to get one with it on. Getting one this far out, odds are high that it's going to have MF3. And seemingly, to me, returning it in an attempt to get one without MF3, you're SOL and it'll be a waste of your time and money.
It sucks, having MF3, but we'll get past it!

MF3 shouldn't be a HUGE problem anymore thanks to the new SafeStrap recovery, which works on MF3.

He never said he bought it from AT&T that I saw. Amazon is like eBay. There's got to be a hundreds of resellers of the S4.

I actually cancelled my order and upgraded with Sprint. If this is the type of thing AT&T is going for, I decided I didnt want to be in a contract with them anyways.

You might regret that, I just got out of sprint after 12 long years of terrible service. Now that im on att i get great service almost everywhere

Not to sound like a ****, but the thread title states that this discussion is about Samsung Galaxy S4 purchased from Amazon.com. You have to view it from a desktop computer. The current price for a 16gb Galaxy S4 is $108 for a new line and $118 for an available upgrade. There's an activation fee of coarse.

I just wanted a link where he bought the phone from off of Amazon. He stated that he received one with the mdl firmware still on it which would make it an AT&T phone. I know how much phones cost with each carrier.

Wound up swapping up to a 32GB, which came MDL. So I guess you increase your chances by buying a 32GB model, since they don't turn over as many of those. Probably holds true for any retailer.

Read the next post, I'm no longer on MF3.
Anyway, when I had MF3 I used this method for root and it worked fine
New Root Method for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 (OTA MF3)

Have you guys tried swappa? I see at least that have either MDB or MDL for sale here: http://swappa.com/buy/samsung-galaxy-s-4-att/us
