I dropped my phone and my screen is now shattered.
Anyone know where I can have it replaced, or have any recommendation to how I can have it fixed
Thanks

Your best bet would be to try a cellphone/electronics repair shop, wouldn't recommend doing it yourself.

I know of a friend who was able to order a replacement iPhone 4 screen off ebay and replaced it herself. You might want to check that out.

Yeah, I'd only trust my friend to do this for me, cause random shady people who say that they can replace the screen within 3 hours never seem to come back D:

These folks only seem to have replacements for white at the moment.

Just curious, but why would you like to do that?
Yes, along with voiding warranty and some tech skills.
noo, i mean mine got cracked a little and i wonder if its possible to change it for the same one but new

That would be possible to do, but the raised question of voiding warranty is valid one...

Any idea how it happened? Could it be manufacturing problems?
Nooo, it wasnt an out of nowhere crack, my friend pushed me while I was holding it and it got dropped down...

Damn, that's unfortunate. Feel sorry for you, seriously. Would you mind changing thread name to "Housing cracked". I now there no issue as such, like with Arc, but at least more people would be aware. That's why maybe it s actually worth considering buying case.
As I said. Its a very small and someone that dont know about it wont notice it so its ok. Ty anw for ure help!

Change the housing and change your friend just kidding.
I bet it is possible, when I change the arc's housing at very early time it was very expensive but later got a lot cheaper. Try and make it a warranty issue. Does your phone has sign of being dropped?
It could be more difficult to do it under warranty, better chances under insurance?

as "Cholek3" recommends, insurance would be nice since its the complete replacement of the phone. Warranty housing replacement sucks because first you have to send it back to repair center for inspection and sometimes to send it back.

Galaxy S3 huge crack

Hi! Unfortunately i dropped my phone and now it has huge cracks all over the screen. Do you think samsung covers for accidents like this?
Yes, ask them and you should get a new one, with a spare for next time you drop it too (saves on postage costs).

Replacement Phone question.

My S4 was dropped and the screen was cracked so I had it replaced. I was still have other issues with the phone. Has anyone here got a replacement phone and had there screen replaced? I just don't want to be billed $500 for so physical damage. The phone now only has a nick in the corner where is was dropped.
Thanks for any feedback!!

I know its easy to get a replacement I'm just worried about them saying I had physical damage. The screen is new but did have it repaired.

I had an S3 replaced through Sprint that had the screen replaced. I was having issues with the USB port but I felt the need to be honest and told them the screen had been replaced. They told me that 1) That should not have an affect on the USB port and 2) they seemed surprised that the screen had been replaced because they said it didn't look like it had been.

9.9 times out of 10 vzw either destroys phone or they ship back to Samsung...the later half being most used.
I assume you have no insurance?

[Q] Shattered glass

I got my Z2 yesterday and unfortunately dropped it later that evening and the glass on the back shattered.. Does anybody know how much it would cost me to replace the glass on the back? is there something i can buy and replace it myself?
I doubt there's anyone out there right now who does it, unless maybe you live in Europe. I'd try contacting Sony, see what they say.
You can buy glass replacement on ebay already, doesnt cost much

I've been around a few places in my city today and one of them could legally repair Sony devices but that would cost me over 400 dollars..
I suggest repairing it yourself. Back should be easily repairable. The front is much harder..

Yeah, I've seen some videos of the z1's back being replaced.. Doesn't look that hard, I just need to buy the back for Z2 but I can't find it online.. I probably need to wait a few weeks.

Thanks for link although I don't think I'll get that one.. I think they forgot to add the "A" on the back... :laugh:
Yeah i noticed that now, you should contact seller and ask some questions, after all he is stating its "genuine". Im pretty sure i saw some more of these, maybe on amazon not ebay.

Thanks for link, the price is good. Can't see any sony or xperia branding on the cover in the pictures, sent a mail to them asking if it's genuine..

Better make sure they reprime the flux capacitor!
Should have insurance it's really cheap with sprint
Sorry to hear man. Hope it goes well for you.
Yep. 4 days after I bought it, Dropped mine 3 inches and cracked the screen. Have otterbox now
Just shattered my g2 and upgraded to the g3, but all my media is still locked in my unresponsive g2 (powers on, no touch).
Supposedly, you can control the cursor via OTG and mouse. Got the cable in the mail today, only have a wireless mouse. Foiled again.
It does works with a basic corded USB mouse, FYI.
I was applying for a cell phone repair job. The Lg phones they get, g2 and g3 are dropped, and the screen never works. 200$ fix
