Hi to that love the GSIII,
Got my on Friday, I could not find a case I liked so I started shopping around.
Today at lunch, the phone took a 30" drop from a table, the display is going bad.
Any "constructive" ideas that might help me out?
Kind Regards,
Jim

If there's no noticeable physical damage int he corner you could probably send it in as a defect. And why on earth you not put at least a case on the damn thing, regardless of looks. I almost want to tell you that you deserve it.
Ya think Ill definately get the Insurance.
Try returning it to wherever you got it from and hope they accept it
Otherwise you can pay Samsung to fix it for you or order parts an DIY
Do you have insurance? If so then they may give you one with a deductible fee
I am very disappointed by the s3 build quality, why couldn't they design a durable phone like s2

Poor guy. Well, the obvious is that this is a case of cracked LCD. However, my next question would be where did you buy it? If you opted in for Best Buy's Black Tie, you could get that repaired/replaced at no charge (with the exception of your monthly payment you pay). If not, Asurion will charge $125 deductible.. or the service centers are $99 last time I looked (I've been out of the repair game a few months).
If the crack isn't evident (because it is har dot tell in the image) where you can see the crack of the LCD (not the glass of the digitizer, as that appears to be fine) but the spider web effect of the LCD... the store might unknowingly exchange it. Personally, I'd be honest with them. I had a defective EvoLTE that I was waiting to swap when three days before S3 release I dropped it and cracked the corner of the digitizer. Best Buy was kind enough to exchange me anyway, simply because I spoke up and said what happened.
Best of luck to you!
Actually most places will still let you add on the insurance since its still under the 30 day window. Just wait it out a few days and then see about getting it fixed.
Did you cry yourself to sleep that night?
Ouch... I'd probably be depressed if I was you lol. But hopefully you'll get a replacement. Good luck

Omg... I would of died. I literally took the case off my phone, opened this thread, and then put the case back on..

I would've cried too, I almost had a drop today at work and my life flashed before my eyes. I don't have a case on mine, the beauty of it is too nice to cover. I will give you all permission to say I told you so if/when I drop my phone.

best bet claim insurance, 199 deductible(assuming since s2 variants are still 199)

Thanks to all these I dropped my S3 threads that are starting to popup I got a 30% off coupon at square trade and bought a ADH warranty.
The problem is that the att stores do not have them and you will have to ship it off I believe. In any event, a hassle. For those of you that get your phone go to ATT or wherever and slap a case on it You have 30 days on the case also. So what if it is not your ultimate case. Protect the phone! It is slippery!
I have mine in a TPU case (8 bucks) and a neoprene sleeve I've had for a while.

diztronic.com sells a semi-transparent grippy matte case for $10. Brand is highly regarded.
I get mine sometime this week, but I don't have a phone yet. I'll post pics.
Damn man, that sucks. I'm gonna baby the hell out of my phone, if I ever get it, until my Incipio Silicrylic Dual Pro arrives in a few days
I have the Nexus 7 32Gb (2012 version) I bought it from John Lewis as they offer a 2 year warranty. I went to unlock the screen this morning and I noticed the lockscreen jumping around, upon further inspection and managing to unlock the screen it does the same on the home screen.
I am shocked to discover there is a crack in the glass of the top layer of glass but not the LCD at all. I am told that this is called the digitizer? I was wondering, as the device has not been dropped or gone from cold to hot conditions or vice versa, and I have not mistreated the device, what should I do next?
I am worried that 1) if I take it to store they will say that I dropped it and its my fault even though this is not the case and 2) if they cant repair or replace it, it would be not cost effective repairing it.
Any advice would be helpful, I am not without a tablet at the moment as I also have the iPad mini but I love the N7 and all its jelly bean goodness.
1) Won't know until you ask.
2) Unless you DIY (about $60 worth of parts on eBay) probably not.
The price reductions on the 'old' one make it cheaper to replace than pay someone to repair it for you.
You might check for a local shop and get an estimate, but....
That's why I'm an advocate of the Drop & Spill warranty/insurance.
For the $50-$60 it costs for 2 years of coverage, all it takes is one mishap for it to pay for itself.

Thanks for the advice, I guess I should have purchased accidental damage cover then I would not have this worry, still I am sure it is a manufacturing defect or a defect in the glass itself as it has not ever been dropped or used is a way against the guide etc.
I am going back to the store tomorrow with the sales recipt and see what then say. It is mint condition and if they can repair it then great. Browsing their stock on their website they seem not to have anymore of the 2012 edition so if its a replacement they only have the 2013 32gb or the 2012 wifi + 3g version. so who knows.
Will update with news for information to interested partys.
EDIT: I also restored it to factory as someone suggested somewhere as its a warrenty claim and I should protect my infos is this type of wipe safe or is there a better way to ensure my play store details / google wallet is secure?

Well, I went to see them, after about 2 hours of this is what we want to do, what they actually did was replace it with the Nexus 7 (2013) 16Gb. So now I will be living here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2407
They were selling the 32Gb for £40 more but wanted to charge me the extra if I wanted to get the 32Gb version replacement and told me it was an upgrade seeing as they don't make the old version anymore.
Half the storage for the new model vs. 28 day warranty repair??? both costing them the same (verbatim from service guy) I felt as did the service guy I should take the 16Gb and be happy.
So, now the wait for KitKat on for me, new device and new screen protector and case to buy, shame old one does not fit but meh.
Thanks for your time grouper guys see ya around I hopes

My brother has the black S7 Edge with a Unicorn Beetle protective case on it as well as a plastic screen protector. This morning, he dropped it on that kind of surface that has a bump on the door step to his room. I don't know what's that actually called, but his screen fell to hit that first. There's no external damages and the screen is fine, but his LCD got cracked with flashing white on the bottom half of the screen.
I have Costco Squaretrade warranty so we just have to pay a deductible, but they tell us to bring it to a local repair shop to fix it while they will reimburse it afterwards. To much of my surprise, I called one repair shop and it costs $399 for parts and labor altogether to fix it!
Do you guys have any other suggestions about how much should the LCD really costs? That's pretty much a good price too buy another phone. Lol

Mine cost me 275 out the door same deal tho was reimbursed. If you look on eBay the screen cost anywhere from 200 to 300 so I pretty much got a good deal

They are very expensive because the actual LCD is costly. I personally went with the protection plan from Verizon. It's a $200 deductible if you break or lose the phone for $11 a month.

See, I can't do Verizon's protection plans anymore. $11 a month with a $200 deductible. Let's say you keep your phone for two years with that protection plan. $11 * 12 months = $132 * 2 years = $264. With Squaretrade, especially through Costco, it's $120 for two years with an $85 deductible. $120/2 = $60 a year/12 months = $5 a month. It's a far cheaper insurance in comparison and they will compensate me on the $400 that I guess that I'll have to drop tomorrow minus the deductible....
Anyhow, any good cases to highly recommend against damages like this in the future?

The difference is you'll get an aftermarket china screen repaired by someone who probably hasn't repaired an s7e screen yet. Will almost guarantee you it wont be water proof anymore, wont be gorilla glass, Digitizer will very likely have or develop dead spots, LCD probably isn't same quality and it'll probably have little to no oleophobic coating to repel fingerprints.
I repair screens daily and am familiar with aftermarket screens. Even buying screens at wholesale with no labor i'd rather use Asurion for my personal phone.
With ATT & Asurion insurance if i don't have a claim in 6 months they cut deductible in half to $99, and they normally just send a new phone, and they ship overnight. I've never received a refurb from them, at least that i could tell. Not saying they don't send refurbs, i just couldn't tell, always look brand new. And when i broke my s6e they gave me my s7e as the replacement and mailed overnight. I wish Samsung would do like HTC and replace the screen free 1 time.
If i had to use square trade, i'd send the phone to samsung and let them replace the screen with original samsung parts. It'll be cheaper than local shop using aftermarket parts, but it'll take 7-10 days. I sent them an s6 the other day and they replaced screen for $129. Cheaper than i could buy an aftermarket screen. For some reason they insist on wiping the phone. They say it's so they can test everything properly. I've installed many hundred screens and never needed to reset a phone. And if anything else is broke or damaged cosmetically , they want to replace that too. Tried to charge me for a back glass that i didnt ask for. They said it was their policy to repair everything that's broken, requested or not. They gave me the back glass for free after talking to manager.
on this page you'll see 2 alerts in blue then a show more button below them. Click that and you'll get to the screen repair section with prices and instructions. s6e and s6e plus is $299. they dont show the 7 edge but i'm sure they repair them and its probably same price as s6edge. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-G935AZSAATT#
Don't drop you phone... problem solved.
So I walked into a local repair shop and they have the kit from Samsung to replace, but it'll cost $400 plus tax to fix and all. One thing they did advise me is that once it's done, the phone will not be water resistant anymore. Dropping $400 for it to lose a feature permanently is an absolute no.
I called up Samsung to see what they told me and a rep over the phone said that if there are no visible cracked screens or anything, it can be covered under warranty. I'm puzzled by that statement even though it was dropped, but it's true that I find it highly weird the LCD is damaged but nothing on the outside is damaged. What do you all think?
And I have attached a photo of what's wrong with the phone. I'm tempted on purchasing the Ghostek 2.0 Atomic case for full fledged protection.

Paying a lot extra for a higher quality of repair is something I'm OK with. Also being able to use my own case of choice is nice rather than getting a tank case and fearing the day when my screen cracks.

Showing $229 for Galaxy S7 Edge Verizon screen repair. Best deal outside of a $200 warranty deductible.

If there is no visible physical damage they will never know it was dropped. It is unusual for the LCD to die without the glass being busted but it happens. I would take it to Verizon store and have it replaced under factory warranty.

I just sent out the phone today. Samsung told me it would be covered by warranty because there are no cracks or water damage, which there isn't. If they do cost something, I'll have Squaretrade reimburse.

Just to update the topic, it seems like it's a somewhat common issue for the S7 series that have a damaged LCD whereas the outside body and glass of the phone can remain pristine as out of the box. As you can see here in this video, they're testing out the ruggedness of this phone case for a regular S7. It protected it from everything, but Samsung's build quality within the phone is very lacking.
https://www.facebook.com/ghostekproducts/videos/539751482902263/
Anyhow, I received a notification yesterday that Samsung has received the phone and will be in the care of one of its technicians. And literally before midnight at the end of the day, they notified me that the repair was completed and ready for shipping. The service ticket was expecting the service to be completed by the 30th of this month, and they just finished within the day. No charge too!
I will be waiting to get the phone back and see if the water resistance is still part of the phone's main feature.

How expensive - I had Samsung replace a screen a few years ago on a Note, and they were the cheapest and (of course) best replacement I could find - 1/2 of a few local options. It included 2 day shipping going and coming back.
B+ Grade / SBI cheap replacement screen will be the best choice
Yes you are correct, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge screen are very expensive, the cost is almost up to a new phone.
After doing a lot of search and repair guide from ifixit, Finally i bought a "B-Grade-LCD-Screen-Touch-Digitizer-Assembly-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-Gold" at $189 from ebay.
it takes about 2 weeks arrived. after testing it. i found the quality is excellent. it was amazing, there is a little defective spot on the screen, but it is almost $160 cheaper than oem, why not?
Cheapest Silver one I could find was $305. Samsung quoted me $260 including shipping.
So basically I have a phone that is not even 6 months old, has always been in a case, and never been dropped. The glass has cracked on the back, pretty severely, but on the front, only one small place. Samsung said to send it in, but there were no guarantees that any servicing would be done for free. I did not purchase the $120 warranty direct from them. I went ahead and ordered a replacement from asurion for $199. I will probably add the 120 samsung service even though it has a 30 day waiting period, or sell the phone. It is a really great phone, and works very well with my gear s2 classic.
I just wish these phones did not have to be made out of these crazy materials that are so fragile. I did not leave my phone plugged in overnight under a pillow or anything either. Any ideas on what to do? I am hoping that samsung will reimburse my deductible cost because I cannot wait for the turnaround time. I was tempted to get a new moto g5 temporarily and just send in the cracked s7 edge just to see what samsung says. But all the repair places wanted $400, and samsung has been known to charge about half that to repair the glass if the digitizer is not damaged.
What would you guys do if you were me? I will probably just keep the phone. Although I could not believe the awesome special the lg g6 has running where you get a 43" tv and a google home speaker! that is awesome!

I would personally just send it to samsung for repair. cost me $269.07 back in august for a new screen and they even put a new back on it.
As for the G6 it all depends on if you trust LG/ are lucky enough to get a unit that doesn't start boot looping like LG is famous for.

Thank you. I went ahead and got a new coral blue s7 edge from asurion. Verizon reimbursed me for part of the deductible since I didn't drop the phone. Samsung refused to help. May pay 120 for Samsung wty has 30 day waiting period but has 1 yr glass pro no deductible and extends mfr wty 1yr

I am a volunteer driver. I was driving the bus from Hope BC to Chilliwack BC on Hwy #1 (freeway) with 10 passengers. While driving at 110 km i had my phone in my shirt pocket. Suddenly i felt a lot of heat coming from my phone. I reached into my pocket and found the heat from my phone to be so excessive i had to remove the phone and toss it into a cubby hole in the dash on the bus. I was concern do to the amount of heat that the heat the phone would burst into flames. I took the phone to Superstore to take it to where i bought it. Once there the service person put the phone on a charger to see if we could start the phone. He noted that the phone was extreamly over heated and said he would send it in for repair. The phone was in a protective casing and upon removing the case he found that covering for the camera was broken . Now i had to remove the phone from my procession for the saftey of my riders and for my own saftey. Now had this phone flared into flames i could have have a very serious crash with several injuries. Now i received a call from my sales reprocenitive stating that my warrantee was cancelled due to the camera cover which might cost .10 cents. I am paying over $900.00 for this phone and have paid for extended warrantee which LG is now saying they will not cover as well. The lying i have heard from LG service reps is unreal. These phones do over heat and the camera lens after looking at it closely shattered because of the over heating. I have never seen such garbage service from any company as i have with LG
Hello,
I have managed to be an idiot once again and break the screen on my S8, it's cracked and doesn't respond to touch.
I need it replaced and I am considering all options.
I am thinking of buying a replacement screen together with a precision tool kit and doing the repair myself by following some videos on youtube.
Getting it repaired by a professional may be more trouble then it's worth.
Has anyone replaced the screen on this phone? I am looking for any tips or wise words. Is there a forum I can ask more detailed questions about the repair?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have replaced in official service center for 280$ including service and new frame and after replacement it's still watter resistent i tested in pool
Thats why you get insurance when you buy a delicate phone like S8. I broke screen of my S8+ but thankfully had the insurance. Repair centre gave an estimate of 235$ but due to insurance i paid just 10$
There was no insurance in my country
I should have at least had a protective case on the phone. What can I say I was a bit of an idiot.
I am particularly worried about putting it together myself, mainly applying the adhesive correctly. I would really like the phone to stay water resistant.
FROM our China. to insurance i paid just 9$
It's really cheap.
