[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
The thread title is what price will it cost to get a screen repaired the last time I read the tread topic. Now going forward you pay 11.00 monthly to get a replacement phone so if you pay 3 months you still pay 180.00. If you pay all year you will have paid 132.00 plus 150.00 which is 280.00. If you paid any more than 12 months you are losing money with insurance plus you have to get most likely a refurbished phone. Now I didn't have a case and bought insurance only for the fact of no cracked screen repair. I won't worry about lost or stolen. I accept the risk of being responsible enough not to lose my phone. From a business perspective I have been using cell phones since 1989, and never lost one.

Last time I cracked a screen I paid 35.00 to Sprint to repair the screen. You can get an official front glass for 25.00. But you better not F up replacing anything or your warranty is void. 178.50 to ship to Samsung, and back with next day air is cheaper than insurance that they are already betting that you won't need, and if you do you pay 150.00 for a 25-35.00 repair.....wake up it's only your money.

I don't know much, but my insurance fiasco as well as any one that needed a replacement from August 3, 2012 until August 18, 2012 waited way longer that they needed to wait. So after finding out that my fear of not being able to repair the phone with out shelling out lots of cash is set to rest. No matter how you slice it if I crack my phone going forward Sammy's repair is cheaper. Another side note if you had the phone over a month, or even a month its 166.00 paid for the phone and 2 months from now you will be paying 11.00 every month hoping you won't need to buy a phone. Wake up!

So in essence when I said that you could have searched the threads again there are threads posted with screen repair cost all over this forum btw.

Thanks for the info Qwickstrike. where can I find the screen/ glass for cheap. i have the samsung galaxy s3 from sprint SPH-L710 blue. I am pretty good with messing up electrinics, I mean working with them, so I feel good (esh) about fixing the phone. I have the insurance but feel pretty "duped" with the deductable. if I don't F the phone I will canclethe insurance. I can't believe how CHEAPLY made the galaxy is. WOW. Thanks for any input
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] duck9191:
sprint normally wont harvest parts or have any parts for at least 90 days after lanuch of a new phone, so more then likley they wont have the parts to fix it. assurian (sprint ins provider) has had a hard time getting s3's for replacemnts. the parts are expensive to buy right now online so the best bet is to go to samsung.

corperate sprint stores can NOT do buyback on lost, stolen or phones that have had a insurance claim done. third partys maybe able to but we can not.

Here you are, but remember you can also get a repair from Samsung fro $178.50 next day there and back no deductible. Glad that I could help with a viable alternative. There should be no reason why Sprint would not offer their customers a repair alternative, besides being greedy and going with Ausrion replacement only.....what a scam!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jusfire:
I feel that there is a suggestion to not get the insurance and save your $11 monthly premium... because it makes sense economically speaking. Which is true - to a certain degree.

Keep in mind, economically speaking, it also makes sense to pay the monthly premium!

Lost/Stolen Phone (one that is truly lost/stolen)

At 6 Months, total cost to replace is $216. This is the cost of the monthly premium plus the deductible. At 12 Months - total cost to replace is $282. At 18 Months - total cost to replace is $348. At 20 Months - your sprint upgrade should be available and probably better off using that then paying the deductible (unless you don't want to renew a contract). Also keep in mind, that if Sprint continues the UpgradeNow program (early upgrade program) that may be more economical than paying the deductible.

Either way, in the event a phone is truly lost/stolen... the insurance can be a more affordable approach. Can you buy a S3 outright (ebay/craigslist) for less than $300 right now. How about in 6 months? How about in 12 months?

Can a phone be repaired for less than the deductible? Sure, a lot of times it can. But most people aren't capable of (or just don't want to) fix their own phone.

Just food for thought!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
This is all too true, it depends on your appetite fro risk. I am not worried about losing a phone. My biggest fear was a cracked screen from a drop. Now that I know that Samsung will repair the screen for 178.50 shipped I can rest assured that I will get my phone back repaired by Samsung themselves.

uh, nice try? you cant sell a phone with a bad ESN. when phones are reported stolen, that phone cant be paired with a new number or sold.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kippswanson:
I got my gs3 at Best Buy. Forgot to add insurance through either Sprint or BB. 29 days later, phone takes a spill and the screen cracks. So I'm losing my mind, pulling out a calendar, counting days, trying to figure out if I can con BB into letting me add insurance.

So I go in the next day (happened late night) and see if anything can be done. Chick goes and talks to a manager, who says I can if I pay the 2 years upfront. 169 bucks. I just about kissed both of them.

I sure wasn't excited about having to drop 169 bucks because of one clumsy moment (I've never cracked a screen before), and I certainly don't recommend this strategy (they most certainly did not have to let me add the insurance), but it worked out in this case. They had to send the phone off, and I got a loaner phone. Some old Samsung feature phone. Had to give a $50 deposit, but got that back when my new phone came in a week later.

So all in all I got a new phone for 169 bucks, no deductible, and the new phone is still covered. Not too bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] castle_bravo:
I know this doesn't help but best buy has full coverage insurance with no deductible. Either pay $10 a month or a one time fee of $160. I'm getting all my phone from there from now on.

If you tried selling it back to sprint after being reported stollen, wouldn't sprint Check the ESN on it and see that it's yours? ..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uscpsycho:
Sorry to bump this thread, figured it's better than starting another one on this topic.

Are you talking a complete Samsung screen or just the glass? I understand the wholesale price on the screen is over $130 so I don't know how this is possible, unless it's an aftermarket screen rather than OEM.

New phone or refurbished phone?

You are strongly suggesting getting screen repairs through Samsung. I've tried to find reports of people's experience with this and it's hard to find. All I saw were two people who tried this and it took forever to get their phones back. So overnight shipping isn't worth a whole lot when they keep your phone forever while you're stuck without a phone.

However, I would rather have MY phone fixed than get a refurb. I know my phone's history and I know it is nearly new with very little wear. I don't want to risk getting a phone from Asurion that was abused or had water damage, etc. I have lots of refurbished gear and usually have no aversion to it, but I've had terrible luck with refurbished cellphones.

I know that sometimes Asurion sends new phones instead of refurbs. Anyone know what they are sending out these days? Anyone know if I call, if I can demand a new phone rather than refurb? My phone is less than 30 days old and I hate to send this in for a refurb with a questionable history.

This phone is ridiculously fragile. It dropped from about 18 inches onto CARPET and the screen cracked. I can't think of anything in the world this light that would break if dropped onto carpet from a height of 18 inches!

Hey all I'm new here. I still currently have the Evo 4G LTE but have bee having data dropping problems. Anyways I am getting an S3 as an replacement device and I dont have insurance at all thru Sprint and they are only charging me $50 for a new on box S3 and I'm returning my Evo even tho I bought it at Wal-Mart. What's all this $150 deductible talk?

They sent me a refurbished one. I don't see any problems with it though. I was lookin forward to getting those Samsung headphones and they only gave me the phone,charger and a generic Sprint battery not OEM. I am loving this phone.

He doesn't sell em if they are all torn up. He's the best place to buy parts thats for sure. Best prices and fast shipping.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dbeckwit:
Good to know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheSocalGuy79:
I had the same issue. Even with total coverage Sprint will not replace or repair any damage other then hardware issues. It is cheaper to pay the $150 to get the replacement then for the screen. Every place I've found that sells a screen cost more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phippsy84:
I sent mine to Samsung to replace it the screen. I have the insurance but will probably drop it soon. I refuse to pay 150 for a refurbished phone. Would rather pay a little more and get my phone back.

I just returned from LV today. On the cab ride I saw the STOOOOPIDEST billboard I have ever seen. I was running late so I couldn't ask the cabby to turn around to let me take a pic.

I stayed at the Embassy Suites in 3600 block of Paradise. The cabby took Paradise south straight to the airport.

About half-way down to the airport, on the left their is a new Embassy Suites. I think the address is 4315 Swenson. Just one block off Paradise on the left but it can be seen easily from Paradise. (Doesn't look like a traditional Embassy and is right across from the Hard Rock.

I believe the billboard was just beyond that towards the airport. Billboard was also on the left and it was definitely on Paradise. One of those huge billboards about 40-50 feet off the ground that is v-shaped.

I would love to have a picture of that billboard. All I have to offer is a thanks. Many thanks.

Here is what was so funny and stoooooopid.

It was a billboard about the evils of texting and driving. You could get killed, etc, blah, blah, blah. BUT it had a HUGE QR code on it to scan for more information. They don't want you texting while driving but scanning a QR code while you are driving is okay I guess. LOL

Again it was on the left side of Paradise and was really a kind of barren area so no pedestrian traffic for someone walking to stop and scan the QR code. It was one of those V shaped billboards where one side is aimed at northbound traffic and the other side is aimed at southbound. It was targeted at the southbound traffic headed to the airport.

I would love to have a pic of that billboard.

Many thanks if anyone is on the area and can stop and snap a pic.

You need to wipe data completely when flashing between different ROMs to reduce the chances of issues. If updating to a new version of the same ROM, you can usually get away with just cache/dalvik wipe.

Be aware that since youre using this CWM with stock ROM you may have rolling screen in the CWM window...but you can grab ROMmanager pro from the internet(google or play store) and then flash you kernel using that APP(install,open,update,flash)

I forgot to say:don't choose "apply update..."(it's the only option in stock recovery),in the custom CWMs you must choose "install update..." for flashing!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No unsecure boot.img has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader but you need to have an unlocked bootloader to flash the unsecure boot.img.

This stock ROM does not change that.

An unsecure boot image gives you true root access to the android file system. Therefore you can push and pull files from system and data which you cant do on a stock boot.img.

Hello,

i have a Sony Ericsson Mini Pro phone SK17i. I have followed the steps described in the excellent tutorial by DragonClawsAreSharp http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1695514 in order to root the phone and install a custom ROM.

It all went fine until i was in Recovery and tried to install from ZIP file the Real ICS r5.2 ROM. It got stuck after i chose the phone model. After about 30 minutes, i removed the battery. After reboot, the SONY logo appears on the screen, after a few seconds the buttons get brightly lit, the blue led on top appears (normal). But then, nothing happens. The phone is stuck at the SONY logo.

I cannot enter either fastboot nor Recovery mode, because when i reboot and keep the buttons VOL+ or VOL- pressed, nothing happens. Is there a way that the bootloader doesn't know what it should load? I have erased the external memory card, does this have something to do with it? If so, can somebody perhaps upload a basic SD Card image so i can put in on my SD card?

Is there a way to fix this?
