[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If you're comfortable opening it up, crack it open and check the ribbon cables for the screen and digitizer, the shock of dropping it may have jarred one or both loose from the board. Like I said the only time I've seen the crazy pink lines in the screen was from improperly seated cables

Edit: if u take it to a sprint repair center they will probably check the.connections for you if you explain to them that it was the only thing you could find related when you were looking for an answer. It could also be the LCD starting to die

How would I know if somethings wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Just open it carefully, making sure nothing gets twisted or broken. Once u get it open to where u can see the ribbon cables and latches on the logic.board, check to make sure they are fully seated and latched(unlatch em, reseat them, and relatch them) also check the cables and latches for any damage, cracks, tears etc. If all that is ok and its still acting weird the repair center can probably tell you if the LCD itself is what's borked.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cbass15:
Okay everything is open. But i'm not sure lmfao.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Best thing to do would be check for obvious damage, tears, cracks, burnt marks. Then carefully unseat the cables and latches, latches first, reseat them and relatch em, reassemble phone power on and pray there's no funky pink

I mean I don't really see anything.. I'm watching a disassemble video and theres only one screen ribbon correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Should be the digitizer is usually connected to the LCD itself and tthe LCD would be the problem since its pink lines digitizer doesn't have pixels just controls touch

Lemme see if I can find one, I really don't wanna have to strip mine to take one myself lol

Edit here u go http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S+III+Teardown/9391/2

The pic with the screen about near the end of the pics shows the front and back of the LCD assembly, the lil goldand black nub sticking out to the right on the back view is the LCD cable. Should be left of screen from front, right side from back about 2/3-3/4 of the way down, it will be what's holding the LCD to the rest of the board once the screws are removed

Fair and the rules aren't always synonymous unfortunately. The $35 is basically a restocking fee for them receiving the device only without the packaging and cables, plus they usually let u keep your battery, some times they're dicks and take it tho

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Certain things end up being free just depends on what's wrong. I know a hardbrick replacement is $35 as well as most full replacements, if they have a screen and can replace it instore its usually free under warranty. Bad batteries are free too. Going thru Samsung for warranty replacement is free but usually takes a few weeks between shipping to them, and them returning it. Works out if u have a backup to fall back on but sucks if you don't

Hey guys they fixed my phone :) they said the LCD in the screen was totally fried. They couldn't believe it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I was afraid the LCD was going, did it cost u anything for the repair?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cbass15:
37.50$ because I didn't have insurance. I do now though ;). But what I don't understand how does a LCD go out like that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You said you've dropped it a few times? Even with a case on it still sustains shock damage, probably jarred something loose which caused a small short damaging the LCD

Edit: you got TEP right? Asurion would cost $150 for a refurbished in that situation TEP will be free :thumbup: and $37.50 is way better than the $500+ retail or $250 for a screen to DIY

TEP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Total equipment protection thru sprint, asurion is a 3rd party provider that is called insurance but legally isn't insurance, its more of a phone replacement program. I won't even get into why its not really insurance again :p

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cbass15:
Oh, I'm not sure? All I know is if they asked me if I wanted insurance and I said yes lol. He said it's 11$ a month.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Not sure which that would be, I quit carrying the protection on my devices since I have a whole box of backups :D

Edit: I'm gonna hazard a guess and say TEP cuz sprint pimps it pretty hard over asurion since the money goes to them instead of a 3rd party

I got the back cover with the flip over screen cover. Screen protectors stick to my fingers cuz of the oil make up in my skin so it drags when I swipe and annoys the piss outta me.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Flapjack:
For some odd reason, my wife's Bionic shut off today and won't start back up. Her phone is not running a custom ROM, has not been updated in months (no ICS), and is generally problem-free.

It had plenty of batter when it shut off, but my wife put it back on the charger anyway. If it's plugged in, when you hit the power button, the "Dual Core" screen will show up, followed by the battery meter. The battery meter will show 0%, then 5% a few seconds later, then eventually bop right to 100% within a minute or two. If you unplug the phone, the screen goes instantly dark. The battery is an OEM extended battery. I'm in the process of trying to find the stock battery, but figured I'd post here to see if anyone has seen this problem (I couldn't find anyone with the same problem).

Even more weird is that mine Galaxy Nexus also shut down today, after doing a batch update of apps from the Play Store. I really doubt they're related, unless some sort of EMP hit the countryside where we live. :(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Flapjack:
I was able to find the old stock battery. I swapped them and the phone booted right up. I can honestly say I've never had a battery go bad like that. Hopefully Verizon replaces it, since it's less than a year old...

I am using the TX on T-mobile and it works fine including 4G hspa+. Battery life is good, lasts a full day no problem. Quick charge is awesome, will do a full charge in am hour or so. I bought mine off an eBay seller with lots of reviews.

Also, it does have a wifi tether app, though I haven't used it. The camera seems good, but I am hoping Sony has another update to make it better.
