No they will not cover it as in ur 1st post u stated you exchanged housing.
So for what ever reason housing was damaged or wrong color all was working fine untill the fast hands of oneself?
Gavin take appart aand refit this way your checking over all connections.
I did.. The new housing looks like original so doubt it they can see any difference

Any modifications carried out by non-Samsung authorised repair people (or anyone else for that matter) voids your warranty.
Basically you're asking a question only Samsung can answer. Soooo...You're going to have to roll the dice & send it in for warranty service & see what happens. Or have it repaired by someone other than Samsung.
Being a betting man, I'd say you'll be paying for the repairs either way.

They would have to be blind or dump not to see any difference since the original handsets have a label (battery space) with fone details on it....
But if you explain to them its better you pay Sammy to fix your fone then paying out for a brand new one...
That sticker is on the new one took it off the old one and put on the new.. Its a guinine cover

At the end of the day, you're not going to find the answer to your question by posting on here.
You're only going to find out by asking Samsung to fix your phone....Soooo....How bout you do exactly that & let us know how you go ?
Ok if they wont repair il by a new screen on ebay for 120e and do it

Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
honestly unless you paid a lot for the case i say just get a new one. being the type of plastic it is most chemicals would probably damage it. they are cheap enough to get new one.
Ok thanks everybody, I can try bleach but I'msure the smell would stick. No it's not expensive. Another one wouldn't be too bad. I remember something about a solution that you could spray on but couldn't find it. Thanks again!
btw hit the thanks button for you all!

Buy a black one? Or a different brand?
I know, not really a solution, but a cover that changes color within a few weeks or months ... can't be made with very good material.

I the best price i have seen for a Screen without the bumper is 249 300+ with the bumper around the screen.
its not really hard to change out either. Changing just the bumper is harder than changing just the screen, especially if the other screen is cracked and you are not trying to save it.
parts are out there though.
i have dropped mine 7 times now, and plan on throwing it against the wall here in about a month and getting square trade to give me another device, or the replacement cost.

Ha ha, well stupidity is one thing I just can't tolerate, if people choose not to educate themselves and instead insist in posting stupid stuff on xda I'm forced to say something. Stupidity is a choice!
But a straight up accident of this magnitude after only 10 mins of having the phone is no laughing matter, accidents happen and in this case I feel for the guy.

I have got the answer for you, this is what you must do,
1. Buy an S3 display + digitizer from ebay:
2. Follow this video tutorial:

Unroot it and send it back. Its the best option. U cant open it urself.dont give it to other to repair it as it will void ur warranty. Best bet sammy care

What exactly you want with this thread? If your digitizer is broken, buy another and replace it

Try this link. It's a weird fix that might work. If not you'll just have to buy a new digitizer and replace it.

Highly doubt it. Atrix 4G is known for having issues with the digitizer. I myself have a dead stripe vertically too. Let us know how it goes tough.

Same here. I upgraded to a new phone. I was hoping I would be able to stick with Motorola, but nope.
At some point I'll probably drop $30 on the new digitizer and try to resurrect it.

Im thinking the same thing. Im going to buy something used though. Maybe a S2 or something. Only requisites are that it must have official ICS and great dev support.

Couple of question:
1) Did you replaced the digitizer yourself?
2) Where you bought it?
3) Was it hard to replace?
4) How much it costed?
I have an upgrade in November so I'm thinking note 2

Just get a new phone. There's still a chance that the replacement digitiZer won't work either.

The digitizer is super easy to replace.
I used ifixit.com's teardown and was able to figure out everything I needed. In fact I was actually replacing a water damaged lcd but I had to tear the phone down in exactly the same way. 20 minute job for someone with almost no experience inside of electronic devices.
Hi,
My digitizer has been shattered.
There is any recomended store to fix it ?
( in new york /5th avenue or something in that area)

You can do it yourself. The guys from RepairsUniverse sell the parts and have outstanding, easy to follow videos (on YouTube) that you can follow step-by-step. At least check it out before paying someone else. They have a thread here somewhere on XDA as well

Very risky to take a part yhe digitizer from the lcd himself..
I can buy lcd+digitizer but if i can pay to a repair center,in good price - i preffer that way
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Do NOT use BrokeMyCell.com. After speaking to them, they offered to try to replace my DNA digitizer, but screwed it up worse than it was. They offered to pay for me to send it to HTC at that point which I gladly accepted. Only problem, they disappeared before paying! No phone calls/emails are returned. Their Facebook page shows lots of other angry customers now too saying the same thing. They were based out of NJ. Hope that helps...
Sorry to hear that mate..
Thanks for the tip

Has anyone attempted this repair? My concern is the seperation of the digitizer from the LCD (I assume they are glued together). Any success with this part of the repair?

Yeah, just that glass/digitizer. It will look like that front glass on the device and have a ribbon cable coming off of it.
