Was walking home, and found this on the floor. I've always wated to find a phone on the floor, but this isn't exactly what I had in mind.

All I'm able to tell is that it's a Samsung device, and it may be GSM because of the microSIM slot I see on the back. The back had no battery, no cover, no SIM, the screen is clearly decimated, two capacitive buttons missing (it takes talent to break capacitive buttons) and most buttons are pretty much loose.
I may spend a little money to get this thing fixed up, assuming it even turns on. I planned on getting a battery to test out first, then if it worked, fixing up the phone and keeping it or selling it. Not anytime soon, since I just bought a Nexus 4 while already low on leisure money, but it would be nice.
From the picture you provided and the detailed description it appears to be a Samsung Epic 4g.
If your interested in some replacement parts for the device I would recommend taking a look at these parts www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Epic-4G-Replacement-Repair-Parts-s/6425.htm.

Finally swapped back to Android yesterday and bought the S3. After playing with it for a bit I noticed a very loud creak on the back of the phone where the volume rocker is. Took off the back plate and it's actually the phone making this noise when I press in the area highlighted with or without the back plate on. I took it back to Verizon and the associate there pulled out another phone to show it was normal and just wanted to see how true this was. Searched around and couldn't find much on here so sorry if this has been asked. Here's a picture to show the area in question.

Creaking? I think your phone was built on top of an ancient burial ground.....

I don't have any creaking sound on my Sprint SGS 3

Same thing on mine...not a big deal but I notice it, it's only volume up for me.
I don't have any creaking there, but there is definitely some form of structural weakness in the area that you circled in your image, OP.
So I got my Rezound from a user on here last February in near perfect condition. Over time, the phone began to wear, I dropped it, the battery began to die and the bezel peeled off completely.
After continually losing my patience with the slow responsiveness of the device (ViperRez ROM took its toll on my phone's performance), I threw it, rage slammed it and just generally abused it.
I was relieved to finally get my Galaxy S4 and came very close to smashing my Rezound up...but I couldn't do it. The phone had served me so well for so long, I decided to keep it and I am restoring it to its former glory.
I am going to purchase a new digitiser, bezel, battery and back cover over the next few weeks/months and flash CM10 (because I love AOSP).
I'll only have the device as a back up but it'd be nice to have a nice device as a spare instead of an eyesore.
I'll periodically update this thread with my activities concerning the fixing up of the device, and hopefully, it'll be a glorious beacon of light once again.
This is what the device looks like at the moment:

Was testing out my Desire X's camera and my butter finger'ness came back and it slipped, smashed the ground. The screen looks fine, it just smashed open st the bottom. The battery doesn't really fit in properly, but if you push it in hard it fits in properly, but the device doesn't turn on.
There is also this two clips, does it have anything to do with proving battery power?

My question is, can this device still be recoverable as its not as bad. And I had paid money for it. Cheapest way to fix this? I've tried pushing everything into place but it just flings out.
When connecting the device to the PC it has a blinking led at the top which is red. Which blinks on and off.
Edit - the device turns on just fine oo freaking strong device.
Yeah, should be fixable. I think you'll need this as replacement and hopefully it will work fine then. Didn't test myself, I only had to replace screen assembly some time ago, but this part is easy to replace, provided that you've got the right screw driver available.
After three years of reliable service, my Rezound is now hard-bricked. My extended battery case tends to shift around a bit as the battery heats up (the locking tabs are worn down) and the phone lost power DURING EMMC formatting, due to the cover popping off enough for the battery to come disconnected. After putting the battery back in place, no power, no charge LED, no USB connect sound in Windows, no ADB or Fastboot response.... JUST DEAD.
I was preparing this phone to give to a friend since I just got a One M8, but I doubt he wants a brick. I looked online for unbrick services, and it seems that a $50+shipping JTAG/RIFF unbrick is just not cost effective (the phone goes for $60-80 on Swappa).
Can anyone here find it in their heart to unbrick this thing at a VERY low price so I can give it to a cash-strapped friend? If not, into the lake with it! :crying: :crying:

Just brought it, i really like it in all aspects except the annoying rainbow effect, i can even see it without tilt the tablet, especially in landscape, just wondering EVERYONE have this problem? after some time of use you get used to? any way of fix it?
I was thinking of change it but it doesn't make sense if all units are faulty
Rainbow effect:

I am unable to access your screen picture but my tablet is perfectly normal and has none of the aberrations you describe. I was in a shop yesterday and handled the two display models and they were fine too. So I would suspect a fault with yours.
Here are the pics http://imgur.com/a/mpuTI#0
So your tablet doesn't have any of this when you tilt it?
I noticed a rainbow effect when I first got mine, but now I don't see it at all unless I really look for it.

No, none of that. Using the same Google page,I have tilted it in every direction and it is a clean high quality IPS screen with no artifacts.
