Customer's phone. AT&T warranty felt claims physical damage when it's clearly the battery swelling. We referred to Samsung and they are taking care of it.. just wondering if anyone has experienced this. Could potentially be dangerous

I bought nexus s from craigslist and got ripped off... Someone sold me a phone without back battery cover. It came with a case and seller was in a hurry so I bought it by inspecting the software.
Can some one help me in buying a cheap case? Nfc is not a problem for me... I just want a 10-15 bucks battery cover...

Call Samsung support. They'll ask for imei and just tell then you broke your battery cover. Then say you heard they sold replacements. They'll check and then they'll sell it to you for $16. Took a little more than a week for me to get one.

lol he probably wasnt actually he in a hurry. it missing the back cover leads me to believe that he probably stole it off a display.

Thanks man! you saved my life. Just called samsung support and had them send me the back cover for $16.23 with free 5-7 days shipping.
I also asked for the warranty on the product and they said that it was till March 2012. I also noticed that the screen has permanent impression of the virtual keyboard on it. First i thought that restoring to factoring settings will fix it but no... I still have the virtual keyboard impressions on the screen. I think it is the problem with the digitizer. They said that they will replace it for free. Now I am gonna have a cool phone once it comes back from Samsung.
Thanks a ton for showing me the way.
Anyhow, one more question, My phone is rooted and is running a custom rom on it, is it still under warranty? I am sure there should be a way to unlock the bootloader and return back to stock ROM, can you show me a thread please... I am gonna search also but I want to make sure I am doing it right before i do it... so that they don't deny me the warranty...
Thanks,
Edit/update: searched and found everything. Returned back to stock. It's so simple with nexus s! Thanks everyone who helped me

Go to samsungs nexus s website, the number will be listed where it says support. You just talk to a rep who will handle everything.

Just google samsung support phone number. It will help if you register your phone on their website before calling because that will save you some time.

Hey everyone, I have a question. Under your batteries, towards the bottom left, do you have a sticker that has Xs all over it? I thought it was white originally :s but I know I haven't gotten it wet. So ... Is it supposed to be full of Xs?
Here's a picture
Thanks!
I do not have this or any sticker in this area!
Yep its there and has x all over it. Looks like a warranty void sticker possibly over a screw
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I think its to do with water damage. I have it also on mine. The x will change colour when in contact with water or high moisture. Its to do with warranty.

Thanks!!! It scared me for a moment. I thought that I had already voided my warranty but I knew I hadn't gotten it wet! But still, good to know!
I tried looking at some unboxings and none of them had the sticker. So I didn't know what to think. The first thing I did was look at my battery to see if it had come off of that xD haha.
Thanks though!
Um...does everyone have this?
Dont have it
I don`t have anything there.
It will turn pink or red when wet, and that's classed as liquid ingress, it means you don't have a leg to stand on, void warranty.

I received my LG phone back but it's locked and the disgruntled employee smashed the screen. I'm an note3 owner so I'm clueless to the LG Android platform. What are my best options here? I'm considering replacing the screen myself as I've done before on phones but to get into the phone and everything is not an option I assume.

Wow! What happened? Why did the screen get smashed? I would freaking say something.... you shouldn't have to fix it.
If need be, you can pop the back cover off with a guitar pick, or similar. Its just like a Samsung once you get inside. Remove the battery, remove the rear housing, remove the motherboard, vibrator, antennae, etc.
Yeah I've replaced screens before. Suggestions on cheapest place to order one? Local place wants 160 bucks to replace it lol

Untold? I fired the person for theft of fuel. Some cannot be trusted with a monitored fuel card I guess. Especially when the card is tied to a certain vehicle and they have to use a unique pin at the pump. My 160 out of pocket to repair a phone is chump change when it's a few hundred dollars of fuel

And there it is. Had this happen at my place of employment. Said person was ultimately fired for a 2$ charge. Giving employees G2s to use, nice boss... Lol
Maybe it"s a factor to some, but idc if it's 2 dollars or 2000, cant stand a thief. I can understand the not bothering part as well, if you ever recover the price it will have cost you even more. Some former employee's of mine thought being the boss makes you rich so you wont notice, both are usually idiotic ideas. Why they think i owe them but they owe me nothing is beyond me.

I recently replaced my broken screen.
This is the one I bought. Works well.

god, until that explanation, i sat here reading this thread as if you sent your phone back to LG to get something fixed, and then an LG employee was disgruntled, broke the screen, and sent it back to you like that.
i'm sure many others read the story the same way, dude..lol you have to be more descriptive..that's why people are all, "you shouldn't have to pay for this, make them pay for it!" as in, make LG pay for something they did.
but obviously now we understand the situation

I was thinking the same exact thing - except that it was a disgruntled Verizon employee who was the culprit.
Never put it past VZW to send out a warranty replacement with issues lol
Once I get this fixed I may use an upgrade from another line to use the g2 as a spare for myself. Are they locked bootloader like my note 3?

i believe so, but there's a loki exploit or something..i forget, i haven't rooted or done any of this since september lol
I recently rooted mine, ran a few roms but made the mistake of wiping data on my stock recovery and soft bricked. Was able to go all the way back to 4.2.2. Then 2 updates later here I am lol.
Rooting and fixing are very simple at this stage.

Update: screen is fixed... I'm going to try to replace through Verizon now. Lol. I picked up a razr HD for cheap to use as a spare. Towelroot and bl unlocked on cm11. Not touching the g2 now.

Anyone know is replacing the glass screen on the Note 3, without removing any screws, invalidates the warranty.
Customer Care says the warranty is void only when the screws are taken out...
Any advice or experiences would be appreciated!

Well if you can replace the glass without removing screws I'd say your good! As long as it looks decent of course.

Don't do anything to the device let At&t take care of it. Any tampering with it can lead At&t to say your warranty has been voided.

Long story short, my S5s motherboard is shot and I need a new one. I cant find one, anyone have any idea where I can find one?
Maybe tell us 1st, why it's shot. You might be able to get a warranty exchange.

Non of the sensors work on it anymore, already sent it in and samsung said it was water damage on the logic board, (just my luck, never submerged it or anything, water makers are fine too)
