Cracked my note 4 screen..... - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

That just hurt me !!!!

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.

Seems that I have some options now... Found a nexus amoled on ebay for 85... Takes 10 minutes to replace. The insurance takes ~30 days to process and I can't wait that long. So I bought a new nexus and the amoled. If insurance approves the claim, then ill sell the amoled and give them the phone. If they deny, ill replace broken amoled and sell nexus locally to a buddy (I can get more for it in working shape than with cracked screen).
Luckily, there was no damage beyond screen (digitizer and case are perfect still). So looks like ill get some good $ for it when repaired.
But now I'm back in the holding pattern for a new nexus to show up... Argh! (And I'm back on what seems like an ancient smartphone for a while -- bb 8900. Though it still responds to touch perfectly, the nexus' broken screen became flooded with purples and its not legible anymore. D'oh!)
I assume OP will be investing in a screen protector this time around

OP had phone in Zagg invisible shield, silicone gel skin, and horizontal cellet belt case at time of fall. I was getting out of the car and the seat belt caught the phone holster, sorta tearing it off of me, and it went from SUV height (5ish feet) to the concrete pavement below me. I even heard the crack of the screen (was a very painful sound to experience).
A sad day indeed.

well if this helps, she got her nexus back in less than a week. she is in new jersey, USA. i called HTC, the next morning she received shipping. she got her nexus back 2 days later all fixed up. less than a week. i guess it would depend where in the world you are located though. i think HTC has repair facilities on the east coast, near baltimore.
You had better luck than I did. I sent my phone out 13 days ago to HTC to repair a cracked screen. I paid $115 for the screen replacement on day 2, but STILL have not gotten my phone back. I am very disappointed in the Cust Care at HTC.
I just wanna say that OP has a cool screenname hehe.
And sorry about your screen. My advice - definitelly go with HTC. They know how to take these phones apart properly and they won't cut corners on that. You'll get a proper new native N1 screen.

Tough Case next time then
Thats unfortunate, OP.
My cheap gel case saved my precious from a bad drop to the asphalt. Not a scratch.
id really like an otterbox solution... but i rely on the dock for most of the day and night... and i am a battery swapper too. hmph...
this is not the first time ive had this happen... with the seatbelt taking my phone for a ride without me approving. some years ago, this happened with a BB 8700. but, i didnt know i didnt have the phone on my person until i back out the car and saw something on the ground in front of me. and then i realized that i drove over my @$#%&[email protected]# blackberry. i need a usb dongle coming out of my arm pit, and then id just have the n1 sewn into my forearm.
Anyone have experience in UK with HTC? what's the cost and time? Damn dropped it last night and the screen was with some scrambled colours. This morning had a proper look on screen and I can see cracked lines running all over. I think it's the inner screen that's broken.

Well... Sounds like you learned a valuable lesson on how to protect your new Nexus! Sell your SUV, get a sub-compact, and stop using seat belts!

Poll--Which screen protector for the Tmo HD2 do you think is best ,and why?

Poll--
Which screen protector for the Tmo HD2 do you think is best ,and why?
I have ghost armor on mine. Doesn't scratch or peel. Had the entire phone wrapped in it.
I have a cheap static-cling screen protector on my HD2 from Ebay from China. Honestly, I don't have any quarrels with it. It's just a piece of plastic. It's meant to be the thing to take the scratching so why spend a ton of money on it? Anyways, static-cling protectors may be a bit hard to put on but once you learn how to put them on you can get a perfect bubble-free protection even if you reapply them. Overall, it does it's job and protects my screen.
I use the InvisibleSHIELD from Zagg.com. It's custom cut to fit your entire phone, including the back and sides. Has a lifetime warranty, will replace due to damage for free. Made using military technology. So far so good I like it. If you apply it properly you can't even tell it's there...no bubbles, it doesn't ride up on the corners over time. I am close to replacing it because it has taken a few scratches and rips.
It also "self-heals"...had a huge gash in it one time when it stuck to a rubber key chain I had in my pocket in 95 degree Florida humidity but in 24hours I could barely even tell where it was anymore. Touch screen responsiveness seems the same...

Funny, how one often hears that in advertising. Anyone can say that about their product. What does it mean?
Did the US army develop your HD screen protector? I think they have other things to do.
Just because a company uses terminology like that in order to sell their product to you, to get you to pay $15 for a little piece of plastic that costs them about 1 cent, doesn't mean that it means anything.

I have a Zagg for my HD2 but have never used it. I didn't pay attention when I bought it and when I received it and realized it was the wet application type I decided I would just ruin my phone if I tried to put it on. Plus it's hard for me to imagine being without a phone for 12 hours while it dries.
Did you apply it yourself?

Good idea.
I use the one included with the otter box, people don't know its there unless I tell them and I keep the otter box for when I go camping or plan on getting really drunk : P its never effected screen response and had been on for 3 weeks with no peeling or anything so no complaints from me!

screen protector recommendations?

I bought a set of 10 and they didn't cover the buttons.
I bought another set of 10 and they were too wide and would curl up at the edgeß because they extended over too far.
The otterbox for this phone did not come with a built in screen protector.
I need screen protectors. Im rough on my phone. Any recommendations? Post a link to a good manufacturer or retailer so I can buy some which work and are cheap so I can replace them frequently.
I got an XtremeGuard off amazon for $1. Its thick but not as thick as zagg. (Same wet install and give it a a day for all the tiny bubbles to dry up) I've gotten one for all my phones. I love em!!
Sent via my Continuum 5 Cappy.
If your buying a set of 10, then something tells me that they are not that good to begin with. Anytime i have bought a screen protector it has been 1. Unless the purpose was to cover 10 phones I don't see why anyone would buy a set of 10. After all you only need 1 protector to cover your phone.. unless they are complete crap and you go through em.
but really.. spend the money, buy a nice one. There are a couple out there that have great reviews and even some that will insure your device even more. I don't use em for a couple reasons.. but i think zagg and gorilla glass are ones you could look into.. just my 2cents
I found that real look brand in really nice. When it is installed you can't tell its there. I think it came with two films for about 10 bucks.

I don't spend "the money" on expendable items. I had an iPhone previously and I would spent alot on the screen protector because my otterbox had a very hard piece of scratch resistant plastic on the front covering the screen. On this phone, I have been through several screen protectors. I need some cheap ones because theyare going to get damaged
Im not planning on spending more them $3 per screen protectorbecause of the frequency which I damage them. I want a cheap, low quality, thin, maybe even slightly too small, easily scratchable, maybe even difficult to apply screen protector.
I don't want a reputible name brand. I want cheap screen protection that works and actually covers thewhole screen because I am rough with my phone.

Hey man all I'm saying is spend 3 dollars all the time (if you really are scratching your screen that much) or spend 20 and have some sort of warranty or replacement. Or maybe be a little more careful with your exspensive phone.

I keep that on my dev phone inside its otterbox. It does not leave the house. The "self healing" capability only goes so far. It is really only good for keeping the dust inside an otterbox from scratching the phone. The screen protector is very weak. It gouges easily and under normal applications it has a rippley surface on the face.
Sounds like you have luck with anything unless you just stop being so careless and rough. Protection only goes so far.

Read the first post. 20 bad screen protectors have shipped to me so far. Lack of research and development were to blame. I can handle lack of quality control. But wgen its obvious the manufacturer never even tried to use their products....
Honestly, the ones from at&t seemed pretty good and they are 3/$10.

That's what I use and they have been great. I am on my second in about 6 months and I have maybe two scratches that are obvious when sweat or moisture gets on the phone.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine
I agree with the two above.
The att ones are 3/$10, cover everything but the light sensor and proximity sensor, are clear vs orange peel, and just plain work well.
Definitely agree with the above posts. The pack of 3 from at&t is actually made by Real Look. The pack costs 10 bucks. They apply easily, are super durable, and stay slick like the bare glass so swyping and cleaning the screen is super easy. Each one will last me a good 3 months if I don't gouge it, and that's fairly hard to do with how durable they are. Don't waste your time or money with anything else.

I'm almost positive they are the same. One package that I bought from at&t even had real look branding on the included stuff...unless I was delusional or something. To further reassure i wasn't seeing things though, I suggested real look to a friend for his iPhone 4, and the ones he got are the same material, so I'm almost positive that at&t's are made by real look.
Woot! I found some. 5 screen protectors for $1.59 from Amazon Seller ID: eTECH
I ordered 3 sets for a grand total of 4.77. The guy had a special going on where you order 3 items and receive a 10-in-one USB SDCard reader. So For a total of $11.71 (including shipping), I received 15 screen protectors and a USB SDCard reader.
They aren't as slick and smooth as the AT&T ones, but these are the cheap expendable protection which can be changed on a whim. This is what I was looking for.
Here's a link.. 3 for a dollar. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Captivate-Crystal-Screen-Protector/dp/B0040IUGG6 That's 1/10th of the AT&T price.

[Q] screen protector for lumia 930/icon

I have a few coming in during the next few day, I will try them out and give you some feedback, it's hard to use PET after many years of using a glass protector, so I have to try it out.
do you still have the protector, can you post a photo of it.
thanks
thanks, a good idea will be to provide some info on were u got em and i will have a look into getting some different ones and trying them out. right now ive bought "3x Vikuiti™ MySafeDisplay Screen Protector DQCT130 from 3M for Nokia Lumia 930" from "protectionfilms24" these work well enough but would love to have glass as ive got it on my other devices! thnx

once i'll posted the results, and if it's positive, i'll see if I can ask the supplier or shop to put some online.
Update
Apprently I received the 3 glass protectors today, and i'm completely disappointed with them, it seems like glass protectors are out, i'm using my old pet A.R.M station one now which seems to fit the best so far, apart from the sides about 3 mm, the whole of the surface is covered, may be i'll try something like invisible shield next.
There isn't point in posting photo's, it's a waste of time.:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the experience anyways.
I'd also say get one with wet apply, if you live in europe Invisishields are by far the best I think, at least in Germany others like Skinomis are really expensive to ship. I got myself an Invisishield, and it's really good so far. It covers up the whole area, except for an extremely tiny part which is good since it doesn't get loose on the edges. The only thing I don't really like about it is the feel, it's a bit rubbery, but I guess that's due to the type and in normal use it doesn't really bother me.

I've actually used invisibleshield before, the rubbery surface will wear out, and it will discolour overtime, but it's our only option for better protection.
Off topic Q: have you used the official flip case CP-637, i'm interested in the green one to compliment my green phone, but thinking the green will get very dirty quickly, so do you think the black is a better option.

front and back USD 10
screenknight
front and back USD 14.50
not available from invisible shield.
they are all very cheap, do you know if they are all the same.
update:
I got the xtreme guard from their site, it was more expensive at USD 10.99, then shipping on top which was about USD 6, from ebay it's USD 10 with shipping, but found on the internet a 85% off discount, so I purchased 2 sets which adds upto USD 9.17.
good saving

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?

Might as well have Motorola replace it, it costs $175 for a new device, but you have to mail them you're busted one first.

Agreed. I had a similar issue and had an overall good experience with Motorola repair. Took about ten days from start to finish.
Do I just go to there website? I don't have insurance.

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
