[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smurfpotato:
I was able to remove the glass, but I damaged the screen in the process. The phone still boots & works, but there is no video.

The underlying screen is very delicate... While lifting off a piece of the damaged glass, the screen lifted as well & cracked.

I refuse to pay $250 - $350 to repair a phone that I only paid $250 for in the first place, so I will go back to my EVO and wait out my next upgrade.

If I had it to do over again, I would still try. I think my chances of suceeding would be better the second time around.

Dropped mine sitting on a barstool and now it is cracked across both top cormers. Ugh
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LetsBeSirius:
Thanks for letting us know :eek:.. Good thing I have a case
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RojasTKD:
Can you tell the method you used? Any advise? Did you just heat it and lift the glass screen like in the video posted eralier or did you disassemble the Note II in the iFixit video?

I may be attempting this in the near future as cracked my screen Christmas day :(

Thanks...

I had my Note 2 for 12 days and used a hard case holster combo while I waited for an Otterbox. Had to go to the Hospital ER to meet my college kid. I got careless and the phone fell from my hip and landed on an unprotected corner causing a very small crack on the screen.

I had purchased the Best Buy month to month insurance for $10/mo. Took it to them on 12/12/12 and they sent it off knowing there were no replacements available but I had to go through the "process". On the 16th they authorized a replacement from the store. No deductible....No Cost and well worth the $10/mo.

As a side note, I had the option to pay for 24 months of insurance up front for $180. If I had taken that option, it would have been wasted after the replacement so never take the discounted one time fee as you would have to purchase the insurance all over again for the replacement phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] finalhit:
Wow...considering the monthly fees, that's more than half the value of the phone.

Definitely a rip off

swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mitchellvii:
The WORST part of the Sprint insurance is that you pay that huge deductible and you DON'T EVEN GET A NEW PHONE! You get someone else's beat up reconditioned POS.

Had this happen when my E4GT stopped working 2 months after I bought it. My replacement phone was full of scratches.

Not only did sprint jack up the month insurance fee they raised the deductible to give you a refurbished replacement.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RojasTKD:
Just saw this on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...677?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25791f3e65

Seems like a good option for those that are hesitant to do it them selves. I'd contact the guy first and make sure I felt comfortable before sending him my phone, of course.

I've already bought my screen and plan on doing it myself, but I know others would rather not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
I got a new phone but you are right most of the time you won't.

slightly off topic but i need advice

i dropped my phone and cracked the screen, well actually shattered it, the same as some of you did. no insurance, samsung repaired it for around 180. i sent it out dec 6 and didnt get it back until round the 21st..great..new screen..problem is now around the bezel there are tiny imprints..like i can see where i assume the technician tried to pry the screen away from the casing..ok fine i can live with it..now problem is every time i go to use my phone i have to press the glass back into the casing because it lifts on the left side of the screen..there is a light leak from the capacitive buttons and i have to press the screen it hard to get it to sit into the casing. its annoying. i made a comment to a samsung rep about it and they want me to send the phone back in. problem is i am a photographer and do my business through this device. I can not waste another 2 weeks waiting for them to fix a problem i dont even know they can fix. what do you guys think i should do
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] loveshinesthru:
I would send it back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] twoeleven99:
hard to do man. i have clients that i am in constant contact with about location scouting, shooting arrangements, conflicting schedules, moving dates and times.. I dont want to go through the mess of catching up to two weeks of no contact again. =/

---------- Post added at 06:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------

does anyone think i can convince them to send me a replacement phone since it was their tech who screwed it up ? or is sending it back my best bet ? everything works fine as far as the touch screen its just annoying as f*** having to press down on the corner every so often..i think its more because i know its there. ive had the phone back since the 21st of dec and just noticed this the other day
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] devynbf:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jasons219:
I got my phone back from Samsung about 4 weeks after sending it in and mine also has a slight bend in the bezel at the top. It's not very noticeable and my screen is not popping out. I thought about sending it back in but with a case on the phone I will never notice it.

If I were you and your screen has to be press back in all the time I would definitely send it back and get an inexpensive replacement on craigslist until I got it back.

Really no photos of cracked screens in this thread, come on people let's see the damage
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] blues2009:
Hey guys I know this is about cracked screens, but I was making the bed and my phone flew up to about six feet and made a thud against the hardwood floor(careless me). I have a rinke slim case on and crystal screen protector on and there was no physical damage.

A day later I noticed that little black line in pic. Hardly noticable but its there. If anyone knows a way to remove it I'd appreciate it, if not oh well not a big deal. Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] blues2009:
Here's a better pic with a game. If you can see it, the black line is to the left of the pig.

I got my first Note 2 glass repaired by a seller on eBay. Brk2008brandy is his username.

It cost me a total of $114 for the repair labor, new glass and return shipping.

There's no need to replace the LCD like shops claim, for which I was quoted $375.

Where do you buy a micro sim? Does it matter if I'm on T-Mobile?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hero_Guy:
Why not just get one online from T-Mobile since you're with them? I got the activation kit for $1.08 with free activation or go I'm store and ask for a micro Sim? I've heard they'll give it to you for free.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FatalityBoyZahy:
Do I just order it from T-Mobile.com?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fleury14:
That's what I did. Cost me $1.06 and it'll be here waiting for my new nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DroidDavi:
is your already on t mo just go to the store and get a micro sim. i have a normal sim in my gnex once my N4 is here i will just go to a retail store and swap cards
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MatUK.8:
Does anyone know about AT&T? I had no idea there was a different SIM card.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] code65536:
With T-Mobile, you have two options.

1) If you have postpaid service, you can buy a Micro-SIM kit (currently $1) online from their prepaid division, and when you get the phone, you can switch to the new SIM card yourself via t-mobile.com/sim. (You can ignore and discard the rest of the prepaid kit.) There is no way to change the SIM online if you have prepaid service, so for that, you need the second option below.

2) Go to a T-Mobile store. There, they can swap the SIM for you for free, for either prepaid or postpaid service.

I'm going to do #1 because $1 is worth it for the convenience and to save the time and gas needed to go to the store.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hero_Guy:
Yup. It was quick and I will be getting it in the mail Thursday or Friday.

Yup it would actually cost more to drive to the store than order one haha
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FatalityBoyZahy:
It's telling me to select a plan when I try ordering the card. :(

Can I have the link which you purchased the SIM from?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Zurginator:
At the previous links, you need an active account with them. On their prepaid, they only list the regular SIM (that I could find), so this link might be helpful for people:

Prepaid Micro-SIM Kit :good:

I walked into a T-Mobile store about a month ago to swap out my SIM for a MicroSim and they tried to charge me $20.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] danlo:
I went into the store to buy a chip and they tried to charge me $20 too. A corporate store nonetheless.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jnewman1991:
Weird. I walked into a Tmobile store two weeks ago to get the Isis SIM card for my GS3 and wasn't charged anything, and again last week to get a normal SIM after selling my GS3 and wasn't charged either time.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ra_grand:
There are T mobile deals all the time. 2-3 times a month they are just free. I got 2 last month. :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] wmm:
After poking around for a few minutes, I was unable to find an online mechanism for getting a micro SIM from T-Mobile (US), so I gave up and called 611. It couldn't have been easier: I just said that I was buying an unlocked phone and needed a micro SIM card for it; the agent asked for the line I wanted it for and how quickly I wanted it, and they're mailing me one for free. (They offer expedited shipping for a fee, but since they quoted "up to a week" for free delivery, I took that option.)

I understand from another poster in one of the other forums that their experience was different and the customer service agent told them that they'd have to bring the phone in, so YMMV.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] danlo:
I think if you're currently a customer they will give you the SIM chip. I was told as a new customer they would charge me $20. What a backward policy.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Spitfire:
Same, I couldn't find it online, but I opened up a chat window with customer service and they linked me quickly. Whoever paid $1.08 must have a high sales tax in their state ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STLRamsFan1k:
Hey guys, just recently had to unroot the S3 due to some minor hardware issues. I flashed the stock Rom and all with mobile Odin and was even able to update with the ota.

Is there a way to check to make sure the bootloader is locked without having to unroot again? Have a feeling I missed a step but just want to be sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
Of the Samsung screen flashes by very quickly at boot then it means you are unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
If you did a ota then your bootloader is locked iirc. Which version did you flash with odin? I think the F2 is the only version that doesnt relock but i could be wrong. But as suggested if the samsung logo goes away real quick at boot you are unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STLRamsFan1k:
I flashed the rom they had from stockrooms.net, so I'm guessing it was one of the first roms the S3 had. It seems like I'm locked since it did an OTA twice (one I manually allowed then another one automatically) and the Samsung logo doesn't just flash by.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
As x714x posted, if you accepted an OTA then your bootloader is locked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
The HD stock build is the only one that wipes everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
Just unlock again using EZ Unlock 1.2 to be safe. It will not hurt anything to unlock it if it is already unlocked.

Tried that one too. Same stuff. What sucks is there isn't an sbf to just reflash the damn thing and start from scratch
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
you might not like this idea but.. you could try factory resetting? maybe that will help? you could also try loading the files on the phone and doing it from terminal? see if you can get some better results? if you're familiar with linux like commands you should have no trouble doing it from the phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
He is using the photon direct method which will work on 2.3.5. Or 2.3.4.

Download root browser lite and check and see if the directory /lib exists.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
I don't know what the direct method is. I've never heard of that. All I know is he's trying the ones intended for 2.3.5. One I made that works for the electrify 2.3.5 and another for the photon on 2.3.5.

What do you suggest then?

its there. is there a specific folder or file thats not getting r/w permissions?

No there is a set of circumstances that when that directory is not there which causes similar issues. Just ruling it out.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morbert:
Hello All,

Im a fairly un-experienced flasher who's run into a question that I cant seem to find a solid answer to, so Im hoping to get a little help from the community.

I had decided to flash Slim-I897-2.9.0-OFFICIAL from SlimRoms.net onto my Samsung captivate, Ran into a psuedo brick situation for about a day but was able to finally correct that using some older files/methods and I THINK I have the rom running correctly.

The only 'issue' I'm running into is during the first few seconds of boot, It flashes an image of Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000. Before it changes the Semaphore logo. Now, I know this Captivate is the I-897, and Frankly Ive fallen a little further down this rabbit hole than I'd originally planned.But is this a potential issue? Or is it a small cosmetic detail I can ignore?

Android Version - 4.1.2

Baseband Version - I9000UGKG3 (This is where I believe the issue is, If there is in fact an issue ofcourse)

Kernel - 3.0.41+
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
It just means u have the i9000 Bootloaders instead of the i897 Bootloaders. U should be ok runnin it as is. The button combos are different for getting into Download and Recovery Mode as opposed to the i897 Bootloaders button combos.

With i9000 BLs... Hold Power button together with Volume Up to get into Recovery. Hold Power button together with Volume Down to get into Download Mode.

The Baseband version (a.k.a Modem or Radio) is ok. U can flash any other of the i9000 cm/miui ics (will work for JB also) modems found in the Modem stickied thread in the Development forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackpot08:
Hi guys im on cm10 nightlies and the data drops are killing me. I was wondering if the data drops are purely AOSP problems or if its a JB problem. Will a touchwiz JB rom have data drops? Or should I stick the ICS roms?

Useless thread is useless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fastfed:
you mean its faster and bigger right?

because its a complete POS, without a battery or expandable storage..

Let me get this straight.. Any phone that doesn't give you expandable storage options, is complete GARBAGE!!

Show me 1 single camera out there RIGHT NOW, that has a permanent battery built into it.

Todays phones have cameras that are amazing, amazing enough where people use them for there main camera!Going to disney world for the day with the kids? Maybe Bush Gardens ?? Or the tons of other places where charging your phone simply isn't an option!

Personally, I can live without it, although having no option to easily switch out a battery, no expandable storage is completely junk!!

So yea, I will take you on, our phone BLOWS away the new nexus 4 by a mile! I wouldn't care if you could put it in your pants and it performed.... well you know.

bottom line, this is why the Iphone is a POS in my opinion and many others, nexus 4 trying to copy it, PATHETIC !!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Actually, you're wrong. These are mobile phones not meant to be replacements for other devices that perform their main functions much better than our phones. Even the cheapest point and shoots take much better pictures and video than the best smartphone. Go look at the Nexus 4 forums. People are getting much better battery life with their built in batteries than our phone with an extended battery. 16gb is more than enough space to to carry all your current media and games. CURRENT. Not your entire library.. and if you need it you always have cloud storage.

Clearly you're very biased and have some sort of technological inferiority. Either that or you're a noob to smartphones and this is your first. If you can't see that the Nexus 4 or ANY current flagship phone is better than the t989 (which was the runt of the GSII family to begin with..) than you're just plain naive and ignorant.

Also I'm not going to reply to your post so think what you want dude. Anyone with half a brain can see the truth for themselves.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
Yeah our phone is good and I like expandable storage but I guarantee that the N4 would smoke the Hercules in just about every way.. Removable battery and micro SD slot is not a valid argument because they are just preferences
