Good ol Sprint! I had a buddy who got the original EVO..he waited and waited for WiMAX...just to be disappointed with ridiculous battery consumption if he used WiMAX, if he accidently left it on....2 hours later his EVO would be toast. He just upgraded to an HTC EVO 4g LTE...he has to wait between now and 2014 for LTE, I told him I would've went with another carrier until Sprint got LTE up and running.

I recently switched to at&t from Sprint because I was so fed up with the data speeds. It really is night and day between the two (depending on area of course). It was normal for me to not have a decent data connection in most buildings, couldn't keep a 4G signal in a moving vehicle, and 3G wasn't very usable almost anywhere. After switching to at&t, I felt stupid for having sprint the past year and a half since any data connection was worthless.

So..I dropped my lovely new TMO sgs3 from about 10-12 inches onto a hard surface. The screen cracked in two places from the left to the right side. LCD is fine but glass is fully cracked. It seems that this is beyond unacceptable for "gorilla glass."

I called Tmobile customer service who were useless and suggested a pay $150 for an insurance replacement.

What should I do guys? Do I go to Samsung? The retailer (Walmart)?

Help!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] r1_2fast4u:
I believe at this point no one will help you. U did damage the phone so it's no one's fault but yours. I'm not trying to flame you, I'm just being realistic. I hope though you solve your problem though . Cheers
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] wolf3142:
I appreciate the reply....it seems like a defect though...I had a Samsung vibrant for two years and it survived a motorcycle accident without a scratch to the screen...I would think/hope that gorilla glass 2 would be at least equally strong. I've also read rumors that the us versions of the phone don't include gorilla glass...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mysterioustko:
How is it a defect, because you dropped your phone and the GLASS cracked? Bad luck? Yes. Defect? No. Even Gorilla Glass can crack. It is not invulnerable to damage resulting from drops. There is nobody to run to, as the damage is a result of your handling/mishandling of the device. There is nobody to foot that bill except for you. Sorry it happened, but that's just how it goes. Sometimes you can drop your phone and get lucky, and sometimes you drop it, and you aren't so lucky. It all depends on how it falls, and what it falls on.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] edboy21:
He cant sell the phone because asurion will ask for the phone back. The only thing you can do is pay the deductible for a new phone. Even though its gorilla glass, once you drop it on that certain angle the screen will definitely crack.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tgmorris:
If you used a credit card to purchase the phone and it provides warranty coverage you should check to see if accidental damage is covered. I know my card covers loss/damage for the 1st 90 days in addition to extending the normal warranty.

ETA: You can keep the phone and later see if you can purchase replacement glass. Sell it after fixing it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Chicago281:
He's right. It's common sense to know that the bigger the screen on the phone the more prone it will be to damage. Having a 4.8" screen is amazing but it also makes the phone very fragile. Gorilla Glass 2 to my understanding is basically there to protect the screen from light damage such as scratches/scuffs. Sadly you had a case of bad luck, dropped your phone, and the screen cracked.

There's nothing more to it than you need to be a little more careful next time with such an expensive device. Considering the phone outright sells for $600 I don't think $150 is that bad for a replacement. Good luck.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Boss Daddy:
I agree with everybody on here and to be honest it was your fault. You should of gotten a case of some sort.

I hope you get your phone fixed/replaced.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
it does seem this phone is more prone to screen damage than others before it to be honest.....I have personally seen my Samsung Fascinate and Charge take falls from several feet to concrete and spend all their time in a pocket with keys and get tossed around and never even suffered a scratch or crack.....and all that with no case or screen protector either.....

why do we pay big bucks for thin phones and wrap them in 1/2" of rubber and make them look like a Sprint Nextel brick phone from 2002?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Speedin07si:
So we don't have to pay insurance fee's when said thin phone is dropped.

Also depends on your life, like me i work under houses, in attics, tight places with dirt, dust and damp areas. A tough case like the otterbox ones is a must for my line of work.

That nextel brick phone took a 7 story bouncing drop and still worked btw.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Tacjim:
I agree with you, it's a cell phone that will be on your person 95% of the time you're out of the house. This phone should withstand many drops! I'm sorry to hear this phone is this fragile. People act as if you threw it down, it was an accident and ANY "mobile" phone should be expected to withstand such drops!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cashyftw:
If you get another one, get a case, or even a screen protector..
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nonmindo:
While this is great advice as its usually only between $15 - $60 for replacement digitizer+glass if cracked as long as the LCD is good....there is one small problem with this on the GSIII, the LCD is FUSED to the glass, so when replacing cracked glass you have to purchase Glass / Digitizer / LCD combo....and they are currently $260 for the GSIII, and that price is not likely to go down much, most LCD's for phones go for that much on their own
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dave2metz:
Sorry to hear about your phone... I dropped mine from about 2 feet on to concrete after owning it for only 4 hours. I almost crapped my pants, but luckily the screen didn't crack. Just a nice gouge on the top of the bezel. That has to be the worst sound when you hear your phone smack the ground. Just bite the bullet and pay the insurance deductible. At least the 5-10 dollars you pay every month for insurance will be of use. Look at the bright side, you get a shiny new phone! My advice, go to Amazon.com and purchase a case.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bmoreboy02:
Idk about you but i dont buy phones because of how thin they are. Yes it is a very sexy phone but i bought it bc of the performance and display. People always say how ugly otterboxes and ballistic cases are, they put alot of time into designing those cases. I think they dont take much away. Point is these phones are thin and fragile, if you dont wanna put a more heavy duty case on your phone bc it makes it look ugly thats on you. But the fact is if youd a had that case on your phone you would not be in the situation you are now. No matter how ugly you think an otterbox makes your phone its not as ugly as it is with thise big ass cracks in it.

I totally understand what you're saying but, I can't see anyone in his shoes with insurance and no money to burn not taking advantage of the insurance system.

It is what it is, the system has its flaws and these insurance companies aren't right either, but your point is understood.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] amstel78:
I get what you're saying as well, although I don't think it's right in my book. We can cordially agree to disagree on this issue.

BTW, if the OP had money to upgrade (at least 200 bucks), then opt for the insurance in case something happened (and something did happen) then why is ponying up $150 to cover the cost of the deductible for his mistake such a big issue? Paying $150 is still better than $500+ for a new phone out of pocket.

Crap happens. People should learn to deal with the consequences of their actions instead of trying to weasel their way out of it. In today's society though, everyone is so quick to point the finger at someone else instead of accepting personal responsibility. And no wonder the rest of the world laughs at us when a jury awards millions of dollars to some idiot who spills coffee on themselves...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tekhna:
Do people not understand how gorilla glass works? It's not designed to improve drop protection, it's designed to be scratch resistant. But it's mostly marketing hype anyway. In fact, gorilla glass is probably 95% hype.

You drop a phone, the glass is likely to break. Any phone. Period. Get over it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bhavi_jp:
This ^.

Also it really depends upon how it landed on the ground. Sometimes a 2 feet fall could break it if the angle is bad. Sometimes you get lucky and it survives 6 feet drop. I am speaking by experience because I broke the glass of S2 while sitting on the chair and it slipped out of my pocket (so the distance to the ground was just about 1.5 feet)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] BloodKil:
For all the complete tards that have no idea for what gorilla glass, and subsequently gorilla glass 2 is actually about...

[YOUTUBE]wT8xI4PEU8c[/YOUTUBE]

Sadly crap happens, and have seen other you tubers attack an SG3 with a knife (stabbing hard) so it may have been the angle, or may have been an actual defect in your phone (seems likely at a 10" fall)

IMHO dont listen to the moralfags and hit that insurance up while keeping your phone. Sucks you have to go that route, but even if it was a flaw in your screen you wont convince anyone that could give you a replacement of that because even if it seemed likely to be them they would rather put the screws to you the consumer. (get them before they get you IMO)

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] djjroc007:
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. :confused:

You guys are lucky you have the option to buy insurance with your carrier. In Canada, we don't. If we break it by accident, tough sh*t. We would either have to pay to get it repaired or buy a new one at the retail price. That's why I'm super careful when I take it out of my purse and put it back in. You guys need a man purse. :p

To the OP, pony up and pay the $150 and get a brand new replacement. Like I said, you're lucky that you have that option of replacing it for $150. Good luck!
