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...

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.

Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge replacement back glass

Has anyone seen replacement back part for the Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge as of yet? I've tried searching around on eBay but haven't found anything yet (maybe too soon right now).
If not too expensive (since it's just glass) I was hoping to stock up on a few of these just for spare in case it ever gets cracked (I'm okay with the heatgun removal method).
Sidenote: Another reason for personally getting one is because I am getting the Verizon-branded model so hoping to replace that ugly back.
UPDATE: Found a few here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59778918&postcount=3

Good news everybody! Looks like replacement backs are finally popping up on eBay!

As well as extra adhesive if needed:

Galaxy S6 (White) - GH82-09548B

wth? are you that careless that you need to buy glass replacement and "stock up" on them?
almost 5 years using Gorilla glass phones and i've yet to crack any of them..
are you really considering to hack the phone to remove the glass just because it has a logo? all i can say is wow....

I plan on going caseless so I would like to be ready to account for accidental drops and scratches rather than buying the part later when I need it. It's pretty cheap and honestly not that hard for me to replace. I fix mobile devices at work so I have plenty experience working with heatguns. Of course I was partially kidding about buying so many, I'll just buy one for now.

There'll inevitably somebody using a half black half white S6!
...or other colour combos.

For some reason they do have different part numbers so it could very likely be ever-so-slightly different on the Edge model. I would be safe and get the Edge version instead if you can.

OP, I watched the tear down video you posted (as well as another one) . Seems to me that if you break the back glass it's a simple fix, but if you break the front glass, it's a VERY involved process to replace it at home. Since removing the back glass seems very simple compared to front one.
Is that accurate?

Well if you break the back glass yes it's very simple, just have to heat it and come right off with a suction cup. But the front glass is fused to the display so you would have to replace the display and glass all in one essentially. It's not particularly hard otherwise just a few more steps and things to take out involved.

Yep. Ordering 1 and having it at the house just in case something happens to my phone. I never use case so I want to be prepared

Yeah, back glass seems really easy, and if I break it, I'd just order the part # you liked us to, and do it myself.
For the front though, it looked like there was way more involved than just a few more steps! 12-13 screws, 6-7 ribbon clips, lot of adhesive. The tear down videos almost convinced me that if I break my front glass, it might be better for me to just pay the $175 deductible and get a warranty replacement.

The edge and flat S6 are different sizes in every dimension. The edge is slightly shorter and narrower, but a bit thicker. So definitely buy the one for the model you have.

It'll take a lot to break the Gorilla 4 glass....our S6 is a BEAST! But then again, it is possible....this is why unless you're on carpet 24/7, get a case and a screen protector.
Simple, straight to the point, no BS with a lot of talking video on a hammer and knife test. You'll be proud.
Mind you....again....KEEP IN MIND.....a simple drop or a real world casual bump won't do anything to our S6 LOL....in the video you'll see the guy applying brute force, which isn't typically a real world scenario. I mean we're seeing the extreme times 100+ being done to our S6's....
This brings a lot of peace of mind.....the build quality is the best I've seen of any phone to date. Period.
However, it is glass and glass meeting pavement is not quite the best combo....it can break and it probably will if the phone drops from around 5 feet or more. It all depends...landing angle etc....
Nevertheless, it's wise and recommended to get a case and screen protector for the S6.
Kudos to Samsung!

I'm waiting for different colors to come out. I've seen an Iron Man mock up edge that someone did, looks beautiful.

Well, for me, I hate how Verizon goes out of its way to uglify its phones with branding, and the Galaxy S6 Edge has it the worst. If I can, I want to replace the backplate as a two fingers up to Verizon statement. Besides that, though, I'd just rather have the option of replacing them. I likely won't break them, but usually, these things are sold by Chinese companies overseas, and paying for shipping multiple times is almost just as expensive as having one or two more than you actually need.

Oh yeah, how about Black and Gold/Silver Back... hmmm

So I cracked my screen...

I dropped my phone today and the screen cracked. It's still usable, just has two ugly cracks along the front. Anyone know of a easy way to replace the screen?

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.

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

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.

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

Attention first time Skinomi users

Just a PSA for first time Skinomi users. When I put mine on two days ago, it looked like absolute trash and I almost ripped it off immediately. But I didn't.
Two days later and it looks great. Like magic fairies put a new one on while I was sleeping or something.
So, if you try this product, give it at least 2 days before you pass final judgement. Also, put it on at night, let it sit overnight without a case on. When you put it on, after aligning it well and squee-geeing the excess fluid off, take extra time to rub your finger along the curved edges. This will make them tack down very nicely (even though the rest will look like trash, just give it time).
Premature use of a case will most likely cause the edges to pop up. Waiting until the next morning to slap on your case is a good idea.
To clarify, this is regarding the Skinomi Tech Skin Premium HD Clear.

I've always liked Spigens plastic screen protectors. I had to use them on my Nexus 6 since no TGSP would work with its 2.5D edges. I have one of the Spigen's enroute with a ETA of tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it is.
Edit: It's actually arriving today! I just checked the tracking. I've been reluctant to use my S7E all week because I don't have a screen protector and already managed to get a tiny scratch despite 'babying' my phone.

how did you get early? says in stock March 11, 2016...

Some pics would be nice, wanting to get this too and put glass on top lol

so 1 question once I install skinomi skin what happens when I dip my phone in water or like splash water over it since the phone is water resistant. Does the skin come off ?

i ordered that protector and received it already but i dont have the phone yet...but did you get an email from skinomi saying they werent satisfied with the fit on the phone and changed the design up on the protector and is sending out a replacement protector for free...so i guess im gunna be getting a better fitting replacement from them...

Looks like Skinomi botched the first batch with incorrect sizes and are fixing the issue. They commented on Amazon re the issue to a customer complaining that it didn't fit properly so they probably pulled the stock until its fixed.

I can attest to how botched it was. The cut was for a S6E+ sized device and horrible IMO. They aren't the only company that did this, but at least theyre fixing it.

I pre-ordered it on Feb 25th, got it on the 29th.
I was surprised.

The one I'm using is from the "second batch", fits well.

Splashing water seems fine, I haven't fully submerged it though.

They are also offering free replacements to those who purchased the first version so hit them up!

I already returned it to Amazon, but a replacement just arrived in the mail. I'll probably send it back because they refunded me earlier

I bought a supershieldz before I got the phone just to have something and could get something better. Turns out, I need nothing else. I don't even know I have a protector on it. Love that cheap old thing.

I have the same one and its great! I tried the Spigen (which was okay, but then started to peel) and two wet install ones that were cut oo big. The SuperShieldz is the best one so far!
