Just wanted to know how much I can sell it for to get closer to the cost of getting the note II. How much would you guys sell it for. Its just the glass cracked everything else still works. Plus you can barely tell that its cracked besides the left side.

Screen repair is about $200 plus the hassle. So a note in good condition is about $300, I would pay $50 for it.
What he said^^
It's arm and a leg trying to replace just the glass and you risk damaging it even worse if you try it yourself with no experience. Not sure what a repair store would charge. But the assembly like stated above, is around $200. You can pick up a decent Note now for $200-250. I'd either keep it, or expect some extremely low offers. A cracked screen is a cracked screen regardless of how minute it may be.
Much to my surprise some kid offered me 185 fir my broken note so I just picked up the note 2 this morning! !!

I don't think insurance covers broken glass. I asked the guy at the AT&T repair center if insurance would have paid for my cracked glass and he said, "no".

that's why I didn't get the insurance, the only reason I'd get it is to get it replaced for free if I dropped it or somehow broke the screen...
So what good is their insurance then if it doesn't cover a cracked screen?

Man that sucks. I have two notes. One is mine that I always use and its got a dead pixel. The other one has a cracked screen. Its barely cracked but still. I want to ditch them both and get a galaxy nexus or a note with no issues! Haha

looking to let go of the cracked screen 1?
Its not worth fixing.
Unless I could get a screen cheap but still OEM quality.
For that 200 bucks ....your well on the way too a note 2.
I guess it just comes down to your particular situation.
Either way ...sorry about the screen damage ...it sucks ...g

thats why i never get at&t's insurance. i buy all my phones from Best Buy. for $10 a month they cover anything and everything. if you drop it, break the screen, pee on it, your dog chewed it....dont matter, they send it out for repair and you get another one. before i got the Note i had a Dell Streak that i got from Best Buy. i Broke the screen like 5 times and every time they just gave me another one - no questions asked.:good:

So today, after owning my S3 for 6 days, I dropped it on the cement and the top glass cracked. Everything works still, just it looks terrible.
Is there any way to replace only the too glass? Or does the entire LCD/digitizer need to be replaced?

Yesterday I cracked my phone screen when I dropped it. Not massively bothered given it's barely visible, and I'm not that impressed with the s3 generally anyway, BUT - do you think the screen is now MORE fragile with the crack if I were to drop it again, or LESS as with a crack there is now less tension on the glass?
I don't know but I wouldn't recommend you find out.

So I've had my dna for a week and a half when my screen shattered. Ironically enough the screen protectors I ordered came in 5 minutes later. I've been scavenging the Web but can't find any replacement screens. Does anyone know if they plan to sell them in the future or is there no hope? Also if anyone has/hears of a broken dna with functional screen I'd love to arrange a deal

You do not want to attempt this without an LCD. The digitizer and LCD are fused. Skytrade on Alibaba sells both separately for about $150 total at the time of this post.
If you have only had it for a week and a half can't it be returned or replaced by Verizon? If you bought it there.

he would only be able to return it to verizon if:
1. there was nothing wrong with it and he just changed his mind(within 14 days)
2. it was defective in some way out-of-the-box.
since there's damage to the phone, he wouldn't be able to take it back. it could only be replaced "damaged" through insurance.
Anyone tried this yet? My wife's DNA just broke as well and so far the cheapest place taking them in and repairing it would be $300... anything around 100- 150 and I would be intrigued to do it myself... apparently she is not happy with my old Droid X....go figure ...
Just do insurance replacement for $99. You get brand spanking new phone with 2.04 if lucky maybe 1.15

I actually have a DNA taken apart at home right now and I'm waiting for a screen to come in. There are some companies on eBay that sell them from 130-200. Most of them ship from China so they will take a couple of weeks to get here, but its a lot cheaper then having HTC or Verizon do it. The instructions to take it apart on YouTube are where you'll want to start, and of you need the screen within a reasonable amount of time, then injured gadgets on eBay ships from the USA, but they are like 40 bucks more than the cheapest display. Just search "droid DNA assembly" on eBay and get whichever one you want.

Just had mine fixed last week. Screen/LCD/labor was $265 with 99 day warranty. First time the screen touched the LCD and the bottom lights didn't work. Took it back the next day and they fixed it. Bottom lights still aren't right, but the screen touch was fixed. When I took it in originally, they told me they wouldn't do just the digitizer. They had tried before and couldn't get it to sit/seal correctly. Good luck with your replacement screen, and let it's know how it turns out.

I came from the GNEX to. The DNA stock or modified is worlds beyond the Gnex. You are going to love it!
I work for a wirelesszone and you can buy a insurance for a phone at any time 99.99 for the 2 years and 75.00 deductible so for a DNA replacement it would cost only 175 shipped with asurion you can only get it within the first 30 days

Yes, I have found the video on how to take it apart, even so the video I watched did not take the screen out. It seems in my case only the glass in the front of the phone is broken (since all functions on the phone still work and the LCD display looks okay) I have heard the the LCD and the digitizer are somehow heat fused together. Therefore the LCD with digitizer should be the way to go. But I have not pulled the trigger on the e-bay purchase. I'm very interested on how this goes for you.
By the way I can't get an insurance claim or phone the cheapest refurbished Verizon 4G phone would be $350 and they wouldn't even have the DNA as refurbished yet.
Hey fellow SGH-i777 users:
I cracked my screen a few weeks ago and I've been looking for a replacement. Nothing on eBay seems to be too decent plus they want 65%+ the cost of a new SGS2 for the screen and digitzer. Do any of you have a phone with a motherboard that gave up the ghost you'd be willing to sell me at a decent price?
I'm trying to hold on to this phone until something much better comes along (it sure as hell isn't the GS4) and I'd appreciate your help in keeping my older device trucking along.
Thanks!
I've seen them go cheap on Craig's list and ebay
Edit: I mean the phone with a cracked screen not the LCD and digitizer .
You can get a used screen for 90 or new for 120 On eBay. Buy a screen, unlock it and sell it on eBay for 160+ when you get a new phone

This hasn't been my experience; every place by me (Atlanta) won't touch my screen because it's Samsung and they all hate the way the screen is attached to the digitizer. So I've resigned myself to just dealing with it. It's only noticeable at certain angles, but it runs straight across the screen.

Just a little rant. I ordered the 6p and was planning on selling my 6 and paying off the balance I still owed to t mobile. Well for the first time in my life, I dropped my phone and broke the screen it's luckily just the glass and the touch still works fine. It's not worth paying $175 deductible to get a new phone when I'm just going to sell it next month. Hopefully I can get close to $200 on eBay even with a cracked screen

That sucks, Ive thankfully never broken a screen (knock on wood). Most Nexus phone sell well even with a broken screen but you likely won't get as much as you might hope. I sold my Zenfone 2 on swappa in less than 10 minutes after posting. They are pretty good compared to ebay and they only charge you a $5 fee per sale.
this guy has something here. i've heard of moto/google honoring a one-time replacement for these types of things. wouldn't hurt to ask.

Really easy to do for the N6 but the glass and digitizer come glued together
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I bought my N6 in december last year, just before xmas. it fell out of my pocket several times over the first couple of days - was just too big - on the third day that i owned it it fell onto a tiled floor and the screen smashed. claimed on the insurance and never replaced it - just went back to my m8. i was pretty disappointed, cos i loved the screen on the 6, but the overall size of the device and my small pockets meant that we were never meant to be...
that said, i've ordered a 128gb graphite N6p, not sure why i am expecting a different outcome, but i just can't help myself when it comes to the latest nexus device!!
Attached a picture since it was requested.
I lost some chunks of glass today. Not sure where I lost them at
I'm trying not to spend any more money on this phone to fix things. I have insurance and I can claim it for $175, but I still owe like $350 and if I only sell the phone and get lets say $300, I'm still out $225. If I sell it broken and get $175, I'm only out $175.
I'll get my tempered glass screen protector tomorrow so hopefully that will keep the pieces in place until I get my 6P next month
Very bad luck, I recommend you get a case for the next phone. Phone insurance sucks my car has a lower deductible than that lol.
I've used cheap tpu cases and plastic screen protectors from Amazon and so far never had a problem. I sold a Galaxy S1 (fascinate) last year for 70 cause it was pristine. The little things make life easy. Good luck buddy and enjoy the 6P. I can't wait!!

Not to be a downer, but you can buy a brand new nexus 6 from amazon for $350. I've seen some local on craigslist for under $200 still in the box. The major price drops have killed the resale value. eBay had some brand new for $299 as well.
