[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaron DarkStar:
Why the list?

Assuming you know people's intentions or reasons for being here simply by their post count is presumptuous. Implying that that somehow makes their points any less valid and lumping everyone together in a list is arrogant. To me, that makes you a presumptuous, arrogant prick, and you piss me off. Useless posts like that one that appear to judge everyone else seem to be the way you boost your own post count. As if post count matters. You know what one of the rules of the forum here are? Search to see if your question has already been answered before posting. Most of the time I have done that and I always found my answer and had no need to post. For your information I joined XDA to talk about my previous phone, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play AT&T version, and I only posted because I had a specific question about the way it's built-in PS1 emulator was handling Final Fantasy 7 disc 2.

My post count does not make my experience any less relevant or my point any less valid. So you know what? Screw you and your list. Leave me off of it please.

I did not drop my phone. Did you not read my entire post? I have NEVER dropped my GS4.

Isn't that the point? Internal damage should not occur before external damage. They should design the phone so that it gets damaged on the outside first before taking internal damage. Otherwise what's the point of the GG3? What is the point of armor that doesn't protect what it is covering?

Again, I did not drop my phone, and I don't care what surveys say happened to other people. I have a 1-on-1 relationship with Samsung, and other user's experiences do not come into play on that.

I am not suggesting anything. I don't care if a big company offers blanket screen damage protection or not. All I care is that if *my* phone breaks for reasons unapparent to me or anyone else, that Samsung replace it. If I had dropped my phone, sat on it, or banged it on a table corner or something, then this would be a whole different story and I would have gladly paid the $150 deductible. But again, go back and ready my post, because nothing of the sort happened.

Why does it need to be catastrophic to be noteworthy?

I never suggested that they do that. However they SHOULD pay for AMOLED panels that got damaged even when someone was being very careful and babying their phone. For example, if someone has a cracked AMOLED, and they have scratches, dents, and nicks along the edge of their phone, then that is neglect and the user should pay for the damage. However, if, for example, there is a situation like mine where I had NO external damage and I had my phone in a shell and I had been very careful to baby it and take care of it and it STILL cracked, then Samsung should pay for that damage, every time, as that is a hardware failure, not user damage.

An AMOLED screen cracking with no external damage should be a simple no questions asked warranty repair. Its easy to tell when one breaks from a defect because there will be no external damage. An AMOLED screen cracking with no external damage is a defect, period. If the armor survived but what it was protecting died, then it is at the very least a defect.

By the way, for everyone else, if you dropped you phone or otherwise did something that you KNOW damaged your phone, and it is cracked, please don't post to this thread. The usefulness and validity of this thread will be ruined if it keeps getting diluted with such posts.
