After having my new phone less than 10 minutes I managed to drop it and the outer screen is smashed cracked. Is there any where someone can recommend that sell spares? The phone still functions but I need it fixed

Yeah it's gonna cost you about $260 for a new screen and even more if you paying someone to fit it.

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:

What's your honest opinion of this phone? Should I wait for something coming up? Also looking at LG Nitro HD... Thoughts?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Its a good all rounded fone. Its up to you does it fit your needs?
Which ever fone you do get will be surpassed by something better why keep up with the Jones..
I say go into a store and try out the handsets you have in mind and go from there...
As of now, buy one. By April or so, I'd say wait for the SGS3

The only con I've seen so far with this phone is that it doesn't have gorilla glass. Anything else? I see some good devs.

I'm pretty sure it does have gorilla glass.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I think it is advertised as having gorilla glass. It is sturdy that's for sure. You can check some youtube videos on sgs2 drop tests.
After more than half a year in the market, I don't think there is any phone that can match the SGS2 and with a healthy modding community, it really is the phone to get if you are looking for one now.

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.

Well, i finally dropped it. I wa sitting down and the phone was sitting in my pocket. (Small pockets+big phone, not a good idea). When i got up it slipped out of my pocket and rolled a bunch of times. Luckily, nothing happened to the screen bt the bezel is chipped pretty bad on 3/4 corners. Just wanna know, will samsung replace it? How much will it be? And is there any other alternate solution thats cheaper?
Thanks

Hey, really sorry to hear that!
Ok now i don't think samsung will do anything unless it's a mistake from their side. Still you can go and ask them and if they agree with to change the bezel then very good! I am pretty inexperienced about this thing but telling you from what I've heard and seen. If they don't agree then you might have to pay them to change the bezel.

Yeah im pretty sure they wont replace without a fee. Thanks for the reply!

Also, replacing the bezel might be expensive. I read that it's attached to the screen.

Yeah, that sucks
But honestly, i dont know why samsung used so much plastic on a premium device. The bezel couldve been made out of something much stronger. Look at the iphone 5, i know it lacks in software but i gotta give it to apple, they made it out of very strong and materials.

There could be other problems, better go to a service center for assessment.

Sorry forgot about this thread lol... It was a BRAND NEW note that asurion sent me the week before christmas. It worked fine and I'm 98% sure it was the new stock battery as well. Though I normally use ankers but I figured fresh battery was cool. Luckilly that Friday night I had been too tired and fell asleep without charging it or this would have happened while I was asleep. Saturday morning I put it on the charger next to my bed around 730ish and it was at ~40% . Me and my daughter were laying in the bed watching spongebob when I heard a hissing noise, and I looked over to see steam shooting from my battery like the old pipes in movies . I took my daughter out of the room and heard a little pop then when I looked in the room my phone was on fire... Literrally burst into flames.... God is good. Could been A LOT worse. Still waiting to hear from Samsung.
