I found a website that sells the complete housing as well as battery cover for the EVO, black color or white. However, they only sell in lots of two. So I was wondering if I buy, anybody out there want to purchase the other one from me? It would be $38. I talked to a local Sprint store and they said they could perform the housing replacement for free when I bring it in.

You can choose black or white under the link he provided. It gives a color choice. I would love to get a white back to swap out on my black Evo, however I'm not crazy about spending $40.00 bucks on it right now, so I'll have to pass.

greetings,
I might be interested in picking up a white version but shoot me some details on how to go about this transaction.
I want to do this, but won't doing this by myself void my warranty. Like if I had to take my phone into Sprint for like a broken screen or something and they realize that the phone is white and not black like it originally was?
Sprint will do the conversion if you bring the housing in?
Some sprint stores will. Regardless, the model of your phone won't change. if you have a black phone, and take it in with a white back, they might not cover it for you, even if its done at a sprint store. If you have a sprint rep saying they are going to do it for you, make them notate your account, and have them do an eticket, so you don't run into problems later on.

AGREED, Be careful when doing this. If sprint pulls up ESN/Serial it will show it as a black/white model. So if you or sprint is changing the housing, technically thats voiding the warranty. make sure they put it in your account that they changed it.
If you will buy a white one for me. I will paypal you the money. If interested pm me.
The problem with this is you've gotta take your lcd out and everything, your better off doing what I dis and paying 60 bucks for one and it contains EVERYTHING from speaker components to lcds, everything but the motherboard. I don't know just my opinion I guess...

I think I'm going to hold off buying for now. The link is listed in the thread for those who may be interested in buying.
Wondering if i can get an opinion here. My epcic recentl suffered the fate of a broken lcd.....keyboard and bottom row keys on lcd still seem to work and it appears to be operating but the screen is jsut gone. Completley useless. Anyways , i was due for an upgrade and while i didnt wanna wait for a replacement or try going through asurion (they claim ive had too many replacments in a year (4 or 5) even though they replaced my last one.....through 8 conference calls lol).........i decided to use my upgrade and try out WP7 with the HTC Arrive. Im loving that phone however i do miss the epic....I want to try and get the screen replaced..... Will Sprint not help me becasue the Arrive is now the phone on my account?
Yes. You probably switched your insurance from your Epic to your HTC Arrive when you got the new phone right?. You can try to add a line to your account, add the Epic back to it with insurance and try that, but i'm not 100% on how that would work because it's not a new phone, it's a phone you're adding... so I'd say give em a call and ask, or if you have someone on the inside, get em to hook you up lol.

Actually I believe sprint has an unwritten rule, picky customers or overly rough customers that have 4 or more replacements are forced to switch to a crappy phone......just be happy they didn't give you the O.G. pre.....lol
Which reminds me, when I bought my epic I told them, I need to move my tep from my pre to my epic. The girl said, no worries both are now covered by tep. Did they change this policy? It was about 7 months ago.
Why dont you just buy a replacement screen? You can grab a phone for around $50 - $70 on ebay w/out a motherboard. I have an extra housing/screen(that was brand new), and like 4 sliders for mine, and it cost like $90 total.
ahh i was reading some places on the net that you can take it to a sprint repair store and have them fix it for only $35 , wich would be nice.....problem is im out of $$ till wendsday AND hesitant to spend money over 50 bucks on it cuz i now have the arrive.......the arrive is pretty damn nice....but i miss the samoled , the customization , the camera , and voodoo sound lol
I work for sprint. Just put the phone back on your line for a day and take it to the store. If the can they will fix it. $35 is for repairs our replacements for cust without insurance. And if the device its not active on am account. Or a vm line is active less than 30 days the store will not touch it.

Hey guys, lost my gs3 at a bar last night. Or someone stole it, Idk. Luckily using my dad's gs3 since he's away. I do have insurance with asurion and I understand I'll pay a 150 $ fee for a new phone, but can I go to a tmo store and do that there, or do I have to do everything online and wait for my phone to be shipped?
Also, will I get a refurb back, or a new gs3 since I paid the big fee?
Will thank for any help!
Thanks in advance.

You have to do it online from asurian website. There is nothing with tmobile.
And be sure to say you lost it, not som1 took it.
You need proof of purchase. Box cutting or receipt. Fee is 130 bucks.
99 in 100 times you will receive refurb phone but there is chance of getting new phone too. Last week my friend got brand new on box as replacement.
Gud luck.
I went to tmobile and all they did was get me on a call with asurion. I'm guessing they shipped me a brand new one since it came with the original box plus the charger and headphones.

Refurb phones are also shipped fully shrink wrapped in the box with accessories.
You have to show proof of purchase even though T-Mobile has all that information? I bought mine through telesales, I don't have the receipt as they never gave me one and I need my UPC for my rebate.

You do not need a receipt through T-Mobile or Asurion.
Thank you for that, I thought that was a bit odd of a requirement.

Next Day Air shipping is also included in that $130 fee. So if you order the new phone through Asurion's website today, you have good chances of receiving the new phone by Friday.
Towle has it perfectly down to the tee, although my experience was a little different because I did not need to obtain any kind of proof of purchase for this process. If you're anything like me you don't like to leave things dependent on an e-mail and would rather talk to a human being about the issue and get it resolved quickly. You can call Ausurion (number is on their website) and speak to a representative, they will just confirm your identity, charge your card for the $130 and ship it out next day. The replacement I received was a refurb but came with the newer UVDLJC modem even though my old phone had the UVDLJA modem.

I guess they do all different thing with different people. My friend did online and he dont have to gaive any proof just file it and got it.
I did it by phone and they send me form to fill up (on email) and ask me to send receipt too on fax. I did send all thing via fax.
Yeah I called Asurion around noon and received my new S3 the next day by 3pm. Although thw first claim i did was on my s2, I explained to them that i lost it and they put my case up for review, few days later it passed and they shipped me the phone

one thing I like to point out is every time I ordered replacement for insurance claim, they sent me refurbished phone which is fine.. but most refurbished phone they sent don't come with accessories like battery or the back cover.. I am not sure there is an option on Asurion website that you can request as full phone not just half (you know what I mean..). I ran into that when I was replacing my GS2.. just FYI..

He is filing his claim as a lost device. They're not going to send just the phone. If you still have a phone to send back, they may tell you to keep your battery and back cover. In lost/stolen cases, they will send accessories.
Last night I get an email and I goto unlock my phone and have a wicked line through the left side of the screen (attaching photo).
Shopping around and the screen replacements are about 150 - 175. The next option was to see if i could get a used phone to ride my contract(June 2014) but they were so expensive (eBay Craigslist ect).
Took a shot in the dark and called AT&T and they are giving me my upgrade early and shipping my new phone next day (wow).
Sucks wish it weren't so expensive to repair and definitely getting insurance this time. I can't understand why the screen just up and did what it did. Was fine an hour prior and then wham.
Any ideas what I can do with my phone now? Worth trying to sell it?
I personally would keep the phone, and what phone are they sending you? I'm just curious

Hello good folks,
I use the N7505. My WiFi and Bluetooth just suddenly stopped working a few days ago. I turn them on and they stay faded green for about a minute or two and then go off.
I live in Mumbai, India and bought the phone from eBay in July 2014. It had a one year seller warranty but I still took it to the Samsung Service Center. They took it in as an out-of-warranty repair and I told them to tell me the problem and any costs before they fix it.
The rep told me that I have an international model which is not supported by service centres in India, and that they won't have the necessary parts available to fix it. The technician, however, told me that the fault is in the WiFi/Bluetooth antenna and the entire motherboard would have to be replaced.
He pointed me to another general phone repair/servicing store. The guys at this store gave me an estimate for replacing the entire motherboard for Rupees 7000 (US $120).
1. Now, I don't know whether the motherboard would be a genuine Samsung product? If not, should I be worried?
2. Is it possible to only replace the WiFi/Bluetooth antenna?
3. Could all this just be a software issue?

Hey there, I had the exact same problem when I had bought Samsung Galaxy Chat (the touch and type android phone). My Wifi and BT stopped working after some time and whenever i used to turn it on they used to turn off within seconds. I tried hard reset but it didnt help. Luckily my phone was in warranty and took it to the service center. They mentioned the same thing that it is the issue with the motherboard and had to be replaced. They kept my phone for around 3 weeks as they didn't have the part with them. They replaced it for free as i had the manufacturer warranty but took 3 weeks to do the same. I always buy through online retailers like flipkart. And online market places like snapdeal and amazon india. I never buy phones from ebay but i buy just the phone accessories because many ebay sellers get phones imported from outside to earn huge profits and in turn can't provide manufacturer warranty. Seller warranty is of no use to be honest. Try for a refund or replacement through ebay if you still can.

Hello,
Ad1: I don't think someone would be producing fake Note Neo motherboards, it's a new model and too few units are existing on the market.
Ad2: Samsung service centers do not repair motherboards, they just replace it (same as other factory official service centers such as Lenovo, Dell etc). Unofficial service centers could try to replace only the failed part. It's the story of the present times: replace, not repair...
Ad3: I don't think so

Never buy phone from ebay. They claim to be actual product however you never know. In fact I also saw that I can get the phone at least 3K less however I bought the phone paying more from local store.
Those are imported phone overseas and might be already a defective/return product.
Now you can do one thing if this solves: Go to sammobile and download the original firmware and flash thru ODIN. If you do not know what is ODIN then check in Youtube.
Best of luck...
Exaxtly.. my friend had ordered Galaxy S4 and received a chinese clone of it.. which looked completely like S4.. but then after installing Android System Info app he came to know that it had a mediatek processor with 960x540 resolution.. he was lucky to get a refund through ebay guarantee.. pls beware..

I've actually bought phones from Ebay before, and they've been really good. I find that they mention all the necessary information on the product page - information like warranty (seller/manufacturer), shipment, exact model, condition (new/old).
This time, however, I took a risk and went for a product with seller warranty. It was a hasty decision.
Anyway, I've now contacted the seller and told him about the problem. He replied with EBay's customer service number and told me to call them. I called Ebay and they raised an eBay Guarantee claim (which will probably get me a new phone), and told me that someone will call me with more details within 7 days.
Also, I lost the S Pen so I still need to buy a new S Pen before I ship the phone back to the seller through Ebay. I'm frustrated to no extent!
Yes ebay guarantee helps a lot.. you will be able to get a refund or replacement according to your wish.. Btw how did you lose the s pen? It's so intact in the phone housing..

The guys at the service center told me to keep the S Pen while they took it in for repair. It took about 7 days for them to give it back. I misplaced it during that time.

That's sad.. go to a local retail store and check if the note 3's S pen fits in.. if it does you can buy it and return the phone..

So, Ebay rejected my Ebay Guarantee Claim. I always knew that the claim was applicable within 30 days from the date of purchase, and I bought this phone in July, but the service representative told me that he was able to file a claim on his system and thought it was the best thing to do.
I have now received an email response from Ebay asking me to contact the seller directly and resolve the issue amicably.
I guess this thread can be closed now. Thanks for all your help guys. :good:
All the best..
