Cracked my note 4 screen.....

I just cracked the screen on my note 4 [emoji47]. It is an extremely thin hairline crack that can't be felt by rubbing on the screen but can be felt by passing your nail over it. It's not really noticiable unless the screen is off. Since this is the first time this has ever happend to me im not quite sure what to do. I do have the JUMP! service which includes insurance but how much would i have to pay to get this cracked screen replaced through jump?
What should i do? [emoji22]

Dang, I'm hurting with you!

I think the Co pay is $150 they wouldn't repair it I think they will exchange it.

How did it happen?

It's 175 deductible unless it went up lately

I take it you weren't using a case?
According to Samsung advertising, you should be able to drop the Note 4 on a concrete slab from waist high a thousand times without a problem. You only dropped yours once - has to be defective! Check the video below.

I do have a case on it which i specifically bought with the fastest shipping option on amazon to never have my phone without a case. But it still cracked.. Must have been a tiny rock thats taller than the 7mm lip this case has. I had been looking for a glass screen protector since i purchased the case 2 weeks ago and couldn't find any with good reviews Unlucky me.
What do you guys think i should do? Should i file a claim and pay the $175 or should i wait it out until there are screen repair kits and fix it myself? Or do i have any other options?

If it doesn't bother you that bad, you could just wait until it spreads or gets to where it does bother you... Personally, I am obsessive about such things, so I would replace it using JUMP!... I have this as a screen protector - http://www.bodyguardz.com/screengua...-skins-films.html?dir=asc&order=sort_priority -, and different cases for different "outings" a thin Sammie-case, and an Otterbox Defender... Otterbox Defender only comes in black right now, but I HAD to get max protection RIGHT away... Instances like your's happen to us all after all... Anyway, the PURE Glass Protector is great feeling and very protective... I have used them on 3 devices thus far, and stick with them... They have a replacement program that gives you super discounts if you need to replace it also, instead of having to buy another (Advantage Program)... Anyway, hope these options will help... I know how much this new device being damaged must bother you, but the replacement you get will be well protected I am sure (plus, the protection is available now, where it wasn't, when we first received our devices)... You can have these items waiting on your next device, if you choose to!! Let me know if you find other alternatives worth exploring, these are just my favorite options as of now...

Keep using it until you get the New Phone jitters out of your system.

If it bugs you a lot, i'll file a claim. It's not easy to fix it yourself since most samsung phones the digitizer and LCD is glued together. Very hard to remove it separately if you're not experienced. If you prefer to do it yourself, it is best to order it as one piece but be prepared to pay a pretty penny which would guaranteed to exceed $175.

I feel for the OP. I just got my Note4 and the thought of cracking it's gorgeous screen scares me. Unfortunately I have to wait until I get paid to order a case for it. Until then I have a nice padded case for my Kindle Paper white that I can use.

Heres another option
ill buy the broken note 4 from you intstead. Haha
if you are serious about that you can pm me

I'd be heart broken if I already broke my screen!
Note 4 T-Mobile

i think i cracked mine too in the middle,right. Its small. And i have no idea how it happend. The phone never fell of my hands or hit it with something. Its a T mob N4, maybe the T Mob version its not the same quality as the N4 for europe?

Your phone it cracked because you or someone else has knowingly /unknowingly mishandled your phone.

If you say one doesn't notice it unless the screen is off, then it may not be that bad... BUT if it bother's much, the $175 deductable is the cheapest route in getting it fixed. Technically it'll be a replacement, so better than getting it fixed. They'll say its a refurb, but its new.

[Q] Samsung Clear View case scratched my screen

Hi all
I have a 2 week old S6 Edge which i fitted the Samsung Clear View case from day one (Phone was purchased from Carphonewarehouse on the 29th April). The screen is now full of scratches since and is bloody annoying the hell out of me. I have contacted Samsung UK and awaiting reply.
I strongly recommend avoiding this case at all costs. It is expensive and WILL scratch your screen no doubt about that. See attached photos
Anybody else experienced this???

Samsung Clear View case scratches screen
The same thing happened to mine and my beautiful new S6 Edge looks dreadful. I'm gutted as I've had iPhones for years and never had any marks. Spoke to samsung UK and they were less than helpful saying as I hadn't purchased the cover from them I had to contact the supplier....who were brilliant and have issued me a refund and said I should contact samsung again........but I'm still left with a damaged screen. This product is not fit for purpose as, due to the hard front cover being in direct contact with the glass, when grit or dust get between it rubs around resulting in circular scratched patches all over the screen. The cover shows no marking at all....just the "unscratchable Gorilla glass"!!
I'm sure when this phone and case combination is used on the beaches during summer there will be some seriously upset people !! DO NOT BUY THIS COVER:crying:

Wow, I am totally shocked!
My S6 edge has more scratches than my S5 which I never really looked after so it seems like the glass isn't as scratch proof as previous generations, not helped by the fact of the issue of getting a decent screen protector.

Just came off the phone from Samsung UK and awaiting to speak to the manager. I have emailed them images of the screen with the Clear View cover.
I am just shocked that a £800 smartphone that claims to have the latest Gorilla Glass 4 is more prone to scratches than older generations. I had iphones, Galaxy S4, Note 3, HTC One M7 and still have the HTC One M8 and not a single one of these phones exhibited the same issues as this one.
I really hope Samsung come up with something

Its almost logicl: dirts gets in between...the flap sits close to the screen. When you hold the phone you squeeze the flap to the phone and rubs. Ofcourse you are going to get scratches. Conclusion: always put a screen protector...should be first thing you do.

Not logical at all.
I had many other phones with similar cases and none was fitted with a screen protector. All were pristine. My HTC One M8 with a similar case doesn't exhibit any of these issues. I think perhaps the screen on the S6 Edge (don't know if the non edge is experiencing the same issues) is rubbish and the Clear View case doesn't help at all and makes it worse.

Samsung UK have just rang me to let me know that they are now aware of this and passed it on to the head office (wherever that may be) to make a decision. The more of us calling them the better. They need to be aware of the grand scale of this.

I think having hard plastic instead of a fabric has probably amplified the issue but it does seem like the S6 edges screen is prone to scratching easier than other GG3/4 phones

No it isn't "LOGICAL". I have never needed screen protectors on any previous phones and I have had a variety of covers. I didn't realise this was a forum for clever arse comments!!??
AND, furthermore, Samsung UK are aware of this issue and are currently dealing with my problem as I am not the first person to bring it to their attention

Hi there. I have just been on the phone with Samsung for half an hour and they agree there is an issue and are aware of other cases so I guess the more people say something there may be chance we can have a reasonable outcome. I've been asked to send photographs and receipts so that's a start. Good luck

It's not just S6 Edge. My Clear View case has scratched my S6 although not as badly as in these images.
I would say there are several problems with the case. First like the previous poster said the lid is too hard. Second (at least for the S6 case) the lid has some room to move. The Dot view case I had for my HTC M8 was soft and more fixed so that it would not move against the screen. Third, and this one I'm not sure matter as much, the case seems to gather a lot of static electricity, thus attracting small particles.
As a comparison I have these phones
HTC M8 with dot view cover. After a year of usage the screen is completely flawless. I couldn't find the least mark on it
S4 Active used for 2 years without any case. Has some small hairline scratches that are not very disturbing
S6 used with Clear view cover. The first day it had bigger marks on the screen than my 2 year S4 active. I thought it was just really bad luck so I kept using the cover and now the screen has a lot more blemishes.

First of all thanks a million guys for the heads up, I was that close of getting one of these covers considering how nice looking and catchy it is, but to think it can do such scratches to the screen, I mean come one, what was that talk about Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and how hard it is to get broken let alone get scratched, I know we all saw a lot of drop-test videos official and non-official (some times they throw it face down on rocks and really pointy and hard surfaces) yet they some times get no scratches at all, so for this cover to do such damage, it's a shame really, and in my humble opinion it's not Logical at all for the cover to do such scratches, I read the headlines but couldn't believe it until I saw the pictures, I was shocked of it really, and I'm now more afraid than ever of dropping the phone, and a screen protector of any kind now is a must, for my old S5 I didn't have to worry about the screen at all, and I dropped it sometimes face down, but I have never dealt with such scratches knowing that I used the device for more than 6 months before I could buy a tempered glass screen protector.

not only the edge
normal S6 here..same issue..day after I got my clear cover scratches appared

A back and new bezel is $145 installed according to the Samsung Service Center in Plano, TX. It's about ninety minutes worth of work and if you're near a service center can be done while you wait.

EBay has spare parts now.

This. Tho I doubt it considering it's curved.

$45 On ebay. ..sorry I can't post link yet.

Theres a local, to me, supply company (etech parts) that says they will have them in stock very soon. I know it doesnt help now, but they do have a website. Just search for it, as I dont want to break any rules. There are a few parts on there for the Note 5 now, but the screens, s pen, backs, glass, etc will be there within a few weeks I was told.
Not sure what their pricing will be like, but it will be genuine Samsung parts.

I bought one of these:

It has a Samsung logo (can't see too well in image) and they appear legit. But be careful when placing on. You must gently press all around the edges before it seats right in perfectly.

I believe this would be the same procedure as replacing the battery. it would involve using a heat source (a heat gun in the video I have seen) to soften the glue, use some plastic tools to gently pry up the back and apply the replacement (not sure if you have to reheat or not) it does not seem complicated, you just have to be careful and not rush it or you could damage your phone.
As has already been posted the parts can be had from several sources. (one bit of advice - if you are not sure about doing this yourself, you may want to have it done by a professional)
Cheers,
BR

Agreed. I had a similar issue and had an overall good experience with Motorola repair. Took about ten days from start to finish.

Pretty much. Start at their online repair site:
https://motorola-global-portal.cust...ZS8xNDUxMjUxNzM4L3NpZC9zSnk3cDJGbQ==#/service

So I contacted Motorola and they will fix it for $175 and if I want it back fast I would have to pay another $40 in s/h. With that amount of money, I could just buy a brand new one for another $50. Any thoughts?

Yes it's 250 on Amazon. Probably a better choice.
Also do yourself a favor and buy a case

OK but now I'm in a dilly of a pickle... I have the option to buy the 6p. My concerns are that the 6 isn't gonna receive anymore love now that it's going on two years old. Would it be wise to purchase the 6 again? Or should I just upgrade to the 6p? I love the 6, I do. But...and yes there's always a but lol. But the 6p intrigues me. I've researched and I know its not much of an upgrade but I love the thought of the fingerprint scanner and the overall look of it. But it is slightly smaller in size and I'm a big dude...but (there it goes again), I could always get a case to make up the difference... Anyways, I would love you guys feedback on my first world dilemma lol. Thanks!

get the 6 and save the money for the next nexus 6 upgrade before the end of next year with a proper cpu like the 820

Just an update if anyone cares lol. I went ahead upgraded to the 6p. Farewell my fellow shamu-ers. If anyone is interested in purchasing my 6, pm me. Good day.

If you still have the phone and aren't afraid of breaking it you could try a glass only replacement. I have never done it before until yesterday. I ordered the wire from eBay and made a simple jig to hold the wire so I had both hands. I successfully removed the glass. Hooked it back up still works. Am waiting for the new glass and loca glue (didn't order it until I removed old glass so wasn't waisting money if I broke it. I did practice on 2 junk phones first. Only one of the test screens worked before and it still worked after. YouTube videos is what I followed.

This. It's not worth the extra $400 for the 6P just for a bit more dev love.

Would you care to share your links in what you did?

If better camera and finger print sensor and more comfortable phone in hand is whats important to you i would dive in. I buy 3 phones a year so i can understand you wanting to upgrade even if its not that big of an upgrade . But at this point there won't be any giant leaps from year to year .

Here is a link to glass and t3 torque screwdriver. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=361337407585&alt=web
I got all the parts on ebay. Used the cheapest I could find from us sellers. You need a loca glu. I used a uv flashlight I got on eBay to cure the glue. Have to put it on all parts of glass for about 30 seconds each spot.
Here is the link to the wire I used
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111281188717&alt=web
I drilled 2 holes in a 2x10 block of wood about 8" apart and put the wire holding sticks in the holes. Watch YouTube videos to see how to take phone apart
It worked pretty good for me. I ended up with 2 small air bubbles under the glass and glass is slightly lifted on one side. Cannot notice once in cheap tpu case.
I used a locktite glue that takes 24hrs to cure to glue screen back to bezel. Cleaned with close pins while curing. Tried double sided tape didn't hold, krazy glue dried to hard didn't hold screen to bezel. I think all my trial and error and scraping and reglueing the bezel is why it is lifted.
Sorry took so long to reply. Just glued the screen on 2 days ago.
And I am in no way saying this is easy just that it was no where near as hard as I thought it would be. You could easily completely break screen trying this

Update. Screen works fine but... The locktite worked the best but is coming undone again. I believe I may have had the loca glu to thick. And made the screen thicker in doing so. And when I put it together it is pressing out. Am thinking of reseperating and reglueing. Any advice is welcomed

Everything is working fine now but the screen is just cracked...

No I don't have insurance.
Bought this phone on eBay..
I have to pay about 150$ to repair the phone...

Consider yourself lucky man, with the s**t digitisers we had on the nexus 4 any crack in the glass above the screen would result in an unusable touch panel. I understand that cracked glass is never a good thing but at least you can still use the device!
I don't want to sound like a d**k but the purpose of Gorilla Glass 3 is scratch protection, not drop protection. Moto just released a shatterproof phone for that if I'm not wrong.
Hard glass on unprotected edges is always gonna break.

Yea...
Well I can still use the device but I will replace all the front side:
Right now I have white front but the lab I send the phone has only black.
He will also replace the screen digitizers in case they got damaged.
I ordered a flip case from eBay, hoping that could save the screen (It sure could minimize the damage).

+1 on the flip case. Just make sure it's got a tpu shell around the phone, otherwise you won't want a drop while the case is open!
(Don't be disappointed about the black front, it looks schweeeet with our amoled )

Well phone got fixed.
I don't like the black at all but that's what I have right now so I need to get used to it.
I hope I will be able to get along with the phone for one more year and then probably I'll replace it.
Right now he works really good.
It took the engineer to replace the broken screen with a new one about one hour and he always mumbled bad things about Motorola and how they build their phones.
He tried to put the back bamboo case to it's place and failed many times because the glue just won't work..
He told me to wait some time so the glue would get sticky to the phone itself.
Next time, I will buy a phone that have wider support in my country, make sure I have a flip case from the very beginning and make sure that you can unplug the battery from the phone.
That phone is awesome but has a quite long list of disadvantages...

Awesome that you could already have it serviced!
I see your point though, and I understand that in this thriving "free" market we can only choose the best compromise for our needs. I wouldn't buy a LG just for the removable battery and the repair support, but I can totally see why it looks like a viable choice for you right now.
As much as I like this phone, glue never looks like a good solution for pieces that are gonna be serviced sooner or later... As for the screen assembly, well, I guess every manufacturer now makes the digitiser and glass into one single part.
That being said, enjoy your moto and keep it for a while
