Is this damage worth $130 for a exchange? - Galaxy Note II General

Dropped it coming out of the car, the bottom chipped and its bothering me now. I do plan to get a case and it would probably cover up the damage.

If it were me and the choice was $130 or living with it, I would live with it.
I've been there and done that and have lived with it.
Having said that, I'm treating my Note II like a newborn baby until my screen protector and case get here tomorrow.

Dude just live with it for now. Get a case and forget it. That isn't a $130 nick.

That might be covered up well with something like the sgp glas screen protector (once it's finally released)
Personally I wouldn't pay so much to repair such little damage.

If you plan to resell the phone later then it may be worth the 130 to have it exchanged.

Or, why not put on a reasonable case and knock off a quarter or half of $130 to make it seem like a bargain if and when you are selling?

Samsung offers Samsung Galaxy S II, S III, Note, Note 2 or Note 10.1 display exhange for only around 70 US on 1 year with Samsung Mobile Premium Service. Depends on country, price might be different and just give Samsung Quick Support Center a call. They will exhange will u waiting, or give new same phone or newer if it takes longer to repair/change.
Go to Samsung website, look up Samsung service places in LA and give them a call.
Dont know if Samsung have it in US yet, but in Europe they have this service and no more worries having the screen cracked on 1 year.

Get a case for it and forget about it. Save your cash for your Note 3.

Lol - Insurance, great thing, till you actually needs to use it!
I'd drop a line to samsung and see how much they'd charge - if it was too much, live with it - it'll get more

I know when u get ur hands on the new phone even a tiniest scratch bothers you. Its hard to live with it. But replacing a screen is jot justice with this new device. Sell it to somebody else who wants the device in less than the market price like around 80 $ less and get another one yourself. Win win for all. Even replacement wont give u the genuine fit and its a waste of a working screen.

That's from the people who are on Epic #4 or higher. Thank you come again.
Seriously I guess it must be the invisible shield I put on my screen that protects my phone from me constant dropping it on the ground
or maybe I was just lucky and got a perfect unit
Did they give you a refurbished after your first one?
Same my phone looks NEW shine it 3x a day but just out of curiosity if i have the 7$ protection plan from sprint how can i get a new phone without having to pay the 100$ deductible?
No they always get you a refurbished one unless you are on your first 30 days of purchase with the phone
LOL...figures they're so stupid -_-

Yes, but its also possible for you to be within 30 days and some stores give you a refurbished and treat is as new...it happened before..
And yes after 30 days you get refurbished usually BUT there are those lucky who get a brand new one.

last I heard sprint doesnt have any refurb Epics yet and they are still giving out NEW Epics. Also if you go into a sprint repair store they do not charge you anything to replace it as long as you have insurance..

That is absolutely not true. I am on Sero Premium, which requires apparently some special activation process that my sprint store didn't know about. 3 TEP replacements in a week all with "non functional radios" (ie they didn't activate it correctly), all refurbs. Finally they figured it out and just replaced the screen on my original epic with parts cannibalized from one of my 3 TEP replacements.
My first replacement was new dunno Whuts gonna happen this time I. Don't want a broke down ****box LOL I honestly want to trade it for an evo

Other than possibly frying the nand memory with a bad odin flash, or running it over what do you guys do to your phones? I work in a computer shop/recycling center and I carry my phone in my pocket.

Mine has been dropped, a lot, it's gotten more than one accidental boot heel, I've even dropped it in a puddle. This, as well as feverishly hacking it... and, as annoyed as I am regarding froyo.. I must say this phone has held up very very well.

Screen completely cracked!

I just dropped my phone and the screen cracked completely. I'm under full warranty and wondering
what I should do. I've had this phone over a year though.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
under full warranty meaning...??? if you have never had a courtesy repair done in a S&R corp store, i would suggest trying that before going online and buying parts. unless your handy like some of us and u want to do that most of the time you'll get the one tech that says no but if you get lucky you might get one that doesnt mind actually working on a phone. imho it wouldnt hurt to try that. just ask for a courtesy repair and if they say no, well then on to parts-hunting lol sorry

sorry but I am confused why do you need anyone here to tell you what to do. Its your phone and what are your choices really. They all consist of you spending money so figure out which one is the cheapest for you. Not exactly a community problem in my eyes but more you and your pockets.
Good luck....
You could get a replacement digitizer off amazon and then put it in yourself. I just did that to my tbolt and it works fine and looks great. 30 bucks is a lot cheaper than 100.
Sent from my Evo.
Okay so i just broke the actual glass. the touch inputs and everything work fine. what part of the screen is that exactly? Also if its the digitizer, i found there is two versions. One's more narrow and one's wider. I have hardware rev 003. which one would i have to get?
The narrow one might be for EVO3D?

You'll need to disassemble the phone to find out whether you have the wide or narrow cable. All hardware revisions have either a wide or narrow cable, and it doesn't depend on which type of display you have either, unfortunately.

Here are some pics of my phone opened.
Damn, I have TWICE in the last year had my screen completely shattered as yours, and just took it to sprint repair center (rooted and all), .....30 min later I had a completely new-feeling phone. Replaced screen and bezel.
I've had screen replaced 2 or 3 times, camera lens replaced, earpiece-speaker replaced twice. All on the same evo I bought on launch day.
I don't understand why they gave you any hassle. You try taking it to a different sprint store?

The Great White Hope II

As in i hope i do not screw my phone up, it all started when i first laid eyes on the white version of the gs2, i had to have it but since im in the greatest country in the world i knew i would have to shell out another 600$(out of the question). so i hit the webs amazon, ebay and finally i found a website that had the parts to buy. And 125$ later here we GO( joker voice)

all I can say is WOW
Where did you get the parts?
I was in the same boat as OP. However, seeing the demand of the galaxy s2 is still high (especially on my local craigslist), I just decided to sell my black sgs2 and bought a white one. Sold my sgs2 for $550 (could have gone a bit more but i was in a rush to fund the white one) and got a brand new white one for $670 incl taxes. So thats a difference of $120 for getting a bnew authentic white version of the sgs2 without the hassle of ordering parts and doing a little diy.
Nevertheless, this is a great alternative for those wanting to change colours!

Your right it is a great alternative versus shelling out 600 more dollars so to everyone in the market for a color swap I say go for it it was a simple process of taking out one piece and putting it into another piece don't be scared to try it just remember to also change out the speaker lol because even by going this route it's a great way to get an authentic white galaxy s II, now next up all I need is that new 64 gb microsd card it's been tested on the gs2 and it works so my phone is about to be an authentic beast!!!!
Not a fan of the white GS2, but I do think you did a fantastic job with the port. GJ man!
could you provide links to the vids you used for helping you understand which screws to take out and what not to touch ect?
looks amazing btw, great job.
I sold my black i9100 for $629 on eBay 10 days ago and bought the white i9100 for $559 from mobilecityonline and had it the next day..... not only did I not loose money on parts, I made money! And...... my warranty is not void. Not trying to put you down, good for you OP. But there are better ways to go about this I believe.... I own a mobile device/Mac repair shop and do these conversions (or do some like these) everyday... no way I'm tearing apart my baby unless I have to! Congrats though bro, its beautiful!

I'm a phone geek any way so who knows what phone I'll own in the next couple of months got to many to choose from but that galaxy sII HD sounds very interesting

In case of battery dead or problem, what are our options?

I always used phones with replaceable batteries in the past and recently s3. But now I found new love in htc one ans pre ordered one. However, I am curious to what my options are when batteries go wrong or dead on htc phones. I notice a lot of you used htc phones in the past. Other than having insurance what did you do?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
1. Get it replaced from HTC store.
2. Use a case like fuel charger for temporary period
Also like to know what's the battery replacement cost from HTC if I decided to use longer or for years, I know its too optimistic!
Doubt they could remove the battery. Perhaps they would replace the whole phone if it's still in warranty.
The phone is unibody so I don't know how they can take it apart without breaking the aluminum case.

Obviously it comes apart if you have the right tools. If the body were designed so that you couldn't get the battery out then you also wouldn't be able to get it in either lol. Much like the one X you'll need to remove the screen and the rest will be accessible.

I always used phones with replaceable batteries in the past and recently s3. But now I found new love in htc one ans pre ordered one. However, I am curious to what my options are when batteries go wrong or dead on htc phones. I notice a lot of you used htc phones in the past. Other than having insurance what did you do?

Getting at the battery is easy ... I did it on my One-X ... It's right there behind that copper sheet on the middle slice ...

I think insurance replacement would be your best bet. I bought the Evo View 32gb tab when they had those deals going on about a year or so ago and the battery died on it and now its just collecting dust unfortunately..
For people who purchasing htc one from overseas, do you know if bestbuy will sell you insurance coverage for HTC one that is purchased overseas?

I've had good luck with the durability of recent batteries, but a lot of it is how you use them. These days you aren't supposed to run the batteries completely dead on a regular basis, but many people, my girlfriend included are under the impression that is what you're supposed to do. She has a 3 year old Toshiba laptop and it's battery is shot, my 3 year old Lenovo is still holding about half of it's original capacity. She also has an Ipod that needs a new battery. I'm sure her Iphone 4s will end in the same fate if I can't change her ways, but it almost never makes it through the day on a charge and she doesn't like to plug it in until she gets home or it's completely dead (if before that).
The 2 oem batteries with my Nexus One are still at least 85% as good as new, my ~ 2 year old Desire Z still holds charge like new. My best friends 2 year old Desire has the original battery working almost as good as new and my ex had the same thing with her Desire. My phones all get 1-2 days of battery life in normal usage for me, except the HTC One S I had would last 2-3 days at least. My theory is that while more difficult to replace the battery once it is shot, with better capacity and less cycles used it should last longer than the others, meaning most of the One S will never need a battery replacement in their normal lifetime for most people. Hopefully the One X, One X+ and One will be the same.
That's my thoughts. Hope I'm right.
I think you already swap a device in time of battery dead

I would think if something happened where it malfunctioned, your carrier would replace it, or worse case scenario you would have to pay the deductible price if you have insurance.
I would think your carrier or HTC would take care of you 1st before Insurance kicked in.
