[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
I have cracked glass on my Infuse (LCD still works fine in my case, I assume it does for you as well).

Here are what I think are the three best options (no particular order)

1 - Send it to Samsung for repair. They'll do it for about $156, including shipping both ways (they send you a shipping envelope). But you'll lose your phone for 1 to 2 weeks.Contact phone number: 1-888-987-4357

2 - Get a used phone on ebay, craigslist, etc.

3 - Live with it and hope it gets better. This may sound wacky, but I have a cracked phone glass and it really honestly seems to have gotten "better" over time. I'm not kidding.

Part of is switching your apps to dark background so you don't notice the cracks as much (and save battery anyway)..

part of it is getting used to the cracks so they don't catch your attention...

and here's the wacky part ... in my case some of the cracks have "gone away" or gotten smaller since the initial damage. I know that sounds silly and I certainly can't explain why it did that (other than to say this is not normal glass), but that is what I observed with my own eyes.

I don't think replacing the whole LCD unit is an attractive option. It costs $150 and you can get a new phone or have Samsung fix it for that much. It is a somewhat delicate procedure from what I have heard so after spending tht $150 there's a small chance you may not have fixed anything.

There is also Infuse Glass for sale for $10 or so but it is apparently unusable... can't replace glass without replacing the entire LCD unit (they're glued together)

you might want to double check ATT website. i got my refurbished infuse for 1 penny. flawless, looked and worked like brand new. so good, i got one for my sister too.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] welchertc:
I have an infuse that I'm willing to sell for 150. Everything works besides the USB port being wonky at times...sometimes it works, others it doesn't. So for 150 you could repair your phone and gain another battery/everything else for the same price as sending it to Samsung.

I advise against adding a line...yeah its 170 up front but add another 240 for 10 bucks a month extra over two years. So that's paying essentially 410 for that s3...same with buying it for a penny online...paying 240 for another infuse over two years.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Attached are pictures immediately after I dropped my phone. I took them using front-facing camera mode.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Here are photos of the same phone (not repaired) today, about 5 months after I dropped it.

I was not able to recreate the exact same view (not sure how I originally managed to use front-facing camera and mirror to get photo of screen without seeing picture within picture type thing).

But I hope you can see it is a lot better. Tough to capture in pictures but there is no doubt in my mind the cracks somehow got better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] welchertc:
Your cracks got better likely because of the adhesive on your screen protector. That is a decent idea for the op to try though...if no chunks of glass are missing, they could try seeing if a screen protector makes the cracks less noticeable
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rhamza161:
I have a screen protector on the phone right now and that is the only reason I'm able to use it. I'll post some pictures in a few showing how it looks.

captemo: How were you able to get an Infuse for $0.01? Was it an upgrade/new line/new customer deal?

electricpete1: they showed up when I posted my reply. Interesting...Makes me wonder what type of nearly self healing glass they implemented on your phone! lol Well, that is interesting, I can still see the impact site on the 5 months after photos, but the cracks seem to be nearly invisible now. [[]]edit[[]]For some reason your images are not showing up.[[]]edit[[]] I'll take a look on another browser and see what it looks like. But I am using a screen protector already.

welchertc: I was actually ready for an upgrade in a month but the account holder was a few hours late on his scheduled payment for an over due account and it bumped my upgrade deadline to July next year. So I would technically keep the new line for 7 months, then deactivate my current line and transfer the number over. (I believe that it possible...correct me if I am wrong though) I'll think about buying your infuse. Could you either show a picture of the screen or describe its condition? Mine was flawless, until it dropped that is.

So, my options are either buy a used one for $50 less, claim insurance, send to samsung (Should I keep the custom rom on the phone or will this send up red flags? I'm running Jellybean), or live with it until I can upgrade?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Yes, I have the same screen protector on there now that was on there when it cracked (didn't change it).

Maybe the screen protector somehow played a role in the appearance of cracks going away (even though it's the same screen protector).

Maybe the adhesive is soaking into the cracks. Maybe the protector started to pull away from the crack so hides it a little.

Beats me.

Same as I was. For whatever reason, the screen that looked horrible 5 months ago after I dropped it looks great now... and I didn't do anything (including didn't change screen protector). I was on the verge of spending $156 to have Samsung fix it, and the only reason I didn't was that I didn't want to give up my phone for the period of 1-2 weeks required for that shipping/repair. Now, based on all the factors I mentioned (using black background, getting used to it, and cracked appearance going away somewhat) I'm glad I didn't spend that money.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rhamza161:
here are the pictures:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
To me, it looks similar to how mine looked. Heavy damage in one corner with cracks spreading accross the screen.

You could try waiting a month or two (three tops). If you see no change, then go ahead and find your replacement. But you might be pleasantly surprised with substantial improvement in appearance (like I was). In the meantime, set your apps and wallpaper to black for very dark backround.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rhamza161:
I think I'll wait and see if I can live with it for a month, and if I cannot...then I'll see about replacing the screen first. I'll start the contact with samsung within the week though. I'd rather get the information now and be able to get the replacement screen as quick as possible if I decide to go that route.

Thanks for the advice guys.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
OK. I think it was about two months before I noticed the change. I wasn't expecting a change and therefore wasn't looking for a change, so may not have been really observant. You on the other hand have very good quality pictures of screen and will be watching closely.

** Please do come back here and let us know how it turns out.

(I have zero doubt about what I saw, but I also understand it's difficult for anyone else to believe... would feel better if someone else reports similar observations)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rhamza161:
I'm always on the forum, but rarely post because the only threads I usually watch are the ones dealing with development. I'll be sure to let you know about the glass though,
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OvaHex:
I'd like to know what phone replaced the infuse too, especially since its officially considered an obsolete phone now.

As a matter of fact Rhamza, that's the case you should build to AT&T-that the phone is obsolete. I've heard plenty of cases, including myself, of complaints to service providers and getting whatever it is you want, so long as your nice and get a compliant tech in the line.

Tell them (if u want) that "my cat knocked my phone off the table, breaking my screen. I see that this phone is totally obsolete and unavailable to purchase at any authorized att retailers... I feel I deserve a replacement because"...etc..

I've heard of people getting galaxy phones for the infuse, so it always worth shot. The worst that could happen is they say no.

In this economy never pay a dollar more for something if you don't have to. Millionaires don't.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rhamza161:
Hm, interesting. I'll give it a try. I mean it is worth a shot.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rhamza161:
I finally just went ahead and called samsung and they said the replacement screens including the LCD would cost exactly $155.88 including shipping. I don't think I'll go that route. I get paid Thursday for over 50 hours so AT&T will be contacted about a broken screen.

electricpete1: I have noticed that some parts of the screen do actually look better, however the 4 buttons on the bottom of the screen are starting to not work because of lost glass even after placing a screen protector over the loose pieces. I think they just came off of the LCD portion.

Sliding the unlock to the right on JB (CM10 unofficial) is starting to require a little more pressure than normal.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
honestly i'd send it to samsung unless you have insurance, i had bad luck with replacement parts from china despite them having official "samsung" branding and looking legit. the insurance might get you a phone you don't wan't. since i think (not sure) they deal in refurbed phones for insurance but it might however get you an i-777 sgs2 (a nice upgrade if you like the smaller size) since it looks like hey still have new and refurbed i777s in stock online depited it being long out of production like the infuse. but if they a replacement phone you don't want then samsung is the best way to go unless you find a repair service that has a good warranty policy. i've replaced the screen on one of my infuses myself for a single crack across the screen that was barely visable, the replacement screen burned out in under 2 months and it cost me more than what samsung quoted you to fix yours,at the time i didn't want to be without my phone while waiting for a repair and it cost me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rhamza161:
Well I went ahead and went through the insurance company. Supposedly I coudl have had a choice in the phone I was given, but when I clicked on the "Choose more" button it sent me to the same phone, the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and it said "If you click on 'more options again, you'll be directed to an associate who will attempt to help solve your problem and will not be allowed to continue online at any point" So I stayed with the Skyrocket for now...I'm honestly not sure how I'll like it. Some websites say that the screen is 0.2" smaller than the infuse, other say it is the same. I love my Infuse, but I would rather get a new phone, not one that is a year old already (the skyrocket came out last year in October after all). The phone should be here tomorrow sometime, so I'll report back and let you guys know if it is refurbished or new. In a way I hope that there is something wrong or something I dislike so I can justify attempting to get a nicer, newer phone. :D

But at least it is coming with ICS and the screen is not broken and there is a modding community here that is amazing! So even if it isn't the best phone I've ever used, it'll still be better than nothing and I can have JB on it within the hour of it arriving. lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rhamza161:
well there was something wrong with it out of the box. (Of course right?) I called Asurion and she said "we'll send you a shipping label and you can send it back to us and when we receive it we'll send you another one right back."

"Wait, I don't have another phone to use while this one is being processed and shipped. What will I do without a phone? I need it for work!"

"Well, go to AT&T and see if they will loan you a phone for about two weeks while we send you another one, but I've never heard of them doing it before."

"Why can't you send me a new phone and when I receive it, I'll send the defective one back?"

"It doesn't work like that."

"If AT&T doesn't hand out a phone for a loan and I miss work because of it, will your company compensate me my $10/hr wage and contact my bosses and explain to them that it is your fault that I missed work?"

"Um, no we can't do that either."

"[[]]sigh[[]] just send me the shipping label and be done with it. This is ridiculous."

"okay. Have a good night." and she hung up the phone.

wth? Rude and not helpful at all. The new phone that I was sent had a defective mic, both on normal calls and speaker phone calls. The AT&T customer service person was really polite and helped me though their trouble shooting guide for the phone and ended up having me go down to AT&T to get a new SIM card. That didn't work, but they activated the new SIM and added the phone to my plan. So the next AT&T rep sent me a phone number to Asurion to get it replaced, because I have 30 days to report a defective device. Well the previous conversation ensued and I find that I am really not satisfied with their representatives. I should have been recording it! jeez.

Here are some photos I took of my Infuse before I put it into the shipping box three days ago.

I heard of it several times but still have no idea. Is Tizen an old OS or is it an upcoming OS. It says for Smartphones /tablets/smart TVs/ and cars. I'm not sure if I'm just that new to discover an old OS or if its a new OS. I read the about me and it doesn't say much. Can someone explain? I tried various Google searches and I understood from the information I've found that its an upcoming OS which will be open sourced. But the upcoming part is just me guessing.

Got to system settings- apps- all apps tab- select Play Store and delete cache and data. Then select Google Services Framework and clear data and cache there as well. Reboot! Check if it fixes the problem.

If the above steps doesn't work, then remove your Google account and then perform the above steps again and reboot. Add your Google account back and check if the problem has been resolved.

Okay I'm new to the sg3 forums. I just switched to Verizon from Sprint and a epic 4G touch. I just couldn't take not having 4G where I live when Verizon has it here and my speed test was about 33mbps the other day on 4G :)... Anyway I was running paranoid android on my epic so that's what I'm currently running on my sg3. What roms are most running and which do you guys prefer? Like I said I've only tried paranoid android and of course the stock Verizon until I rooted and unlocked the bootloader. What's a good rom to try out next?

I'm on ParanoidAndroid as well. Tried out Synergy and Redemption, both were good but I prefer the AOSP style, and I like phablet mode on PA. If I weren't really into phablet mode, AOKP would probably be my choice. But I'll second,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pdinphx:
I second this ... very smooth, enhanced Twiz experience. The unstated bonus is that the ROM automatically takes care of IMEI backup, Busybox, Samsung root check and a host of Verizon spyware/sludge.

Plus, there are several tasty themes and kernels available to tweak your user experience.

I am currently running Synergy.r72, EyeCandy (theme), KT747 (kernel) and InfinitySound.v2. Can you say awesome?

Definitely a must try.

For those inquiring about the InfinitySound tag in my sig. This is a reference to UltimateSound from here .. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1883262 .. v2 was an older build released for ICS.

Very few people were able to get it to work with Synergy/ICS ROMs, so the OP took down the link and limited his newer releases to JB only.

I am not comfortable mirroring an older build that soft bricked 90% of people who installed it.

He is working on GB and ICS compatible builds, so be patient.

So I recently moved into a new apartment which was cable ready ( there was already a coaxial cable line in the apartment). I decided to borrow my sister's cable box to see if we could get free cable, sure enough, 2 years later now and we still get free cable. My question is; our Verizon home internet sucks big balls and we only get 897kbs download speeds at best because we are supposedly to far away from their central line. So if I were to buy my own Time Warner approved Cable modem and install it myself....would I be able to get internet??? Any ideas???
[Off-topic] natethegreat86:
I'm gonna say most likely not but if you know anybody with a compatible modem try it out and see, I see people getting free TV a lot but I can't say that iv ever known anyone that got free cable internet in a situation like yours bandwidth is too expensive to give away for free TV service meh doesn't cost them much lol.
