From a small drop of the Galaxy S4, the LCD has cracked. Details in description

I have a flexible rubber case that increases the width (from front to back) by half a centimeter. This means that when it falls on a flat surface, face-down, the screen should not be hit. Unfortunately, I have learned that the case is NOT shock absorbent and therefore ending up with a cracked LCD (Not front screen). At first, the screen had wide, green bars on the front of it, and then after a while, the lcd did not produce anything altogether.
The drop was about 3-3.5 feet and it landed face-first on a linoleum floor. This happened on a normal school floor. The cracks are a little hard to see, but can be seen within reflection of the screen. All of the cracks are located at the top of the screen, mostly in the top-right corner, near the power button.
The cracks seem to start from the power button to the top of the screen, diagonally, and they are going 40 degrees, estimated. There are two cracks at the top center, and at the top right of the phone, there are seven. The sizes of these cracks range from 4 millimeters to 25 millimeters.
How much is the repair for a Samsung Galaxy S4 LCD screen? Possibly a front screen repair too (Please separate these two prices).
The system works completely fine. I keep getting notifications and it rang when I called it. The battery component seems to be in very good condition and the SIM card is not burned out or anything. The ONLY problem is that nothing will show up, and there are slightly visible cracks on the LCD part of the screen.

I would suggest contacting Samsung directly to find out if they can repair the phone for a fee.
Verizon Wireless doesn't repair phones and the cracked screen (even the digitizer) unfortunately voids the warranty.

  • The screen on my iPod has cracked / shattered.  Is this something that can this be fixed or do I need to get a new iPod?

    The screen on my iPod has cracked / shattered.  Is this something that can this be fixed or do I need to get a new iPod?  Everthing still works just the glass is shattered at the bottom and cracks are running up through the screen.

    It can be fixed by Apple, some authorized Apple repair shops, or third-party repair shops.
    Apple actually replaces your iPod with a refurbished iPod and the price will depend on what model you have. Others will repair your iPod and the prices tend to be lower.

  • Can I use the Galaxy in Germany if it's "unlocked" with a local SIM (for local rates)?

    Can I use this phone in Germany with a *local* SIM card for local rates if I get Verizon to unlock it or do I have to wait for the ever-elusive upgrade for this to be possible?
    I have been with Verizon since 2006, my original HTC Incredible has been eligible for an upgrade since April, and I was planning to stay with Verizon since I'm overall happy with the service. However, this uncertainty about being able to use the phone globally (and specifically in Germany) with local SIM cards has me considering other carriers for the first time, who have not crippled their phones in this way. In particular AT&T I guess. I don't understand why Verizon would choose to limit their phone like this.
    I would like to stay with Verizon, but I'm not going to wait indefinitely for a required update -- unless someone authoritative can tell me that I am able to use this phone with a local SIM card with local rates in German right now. That would make me very happy   .. otherwise, I guess it's time to check out the Galaxy on the other carriers.
    ps: I have searched the web, and this forum for related posting w/o the answer for this specific question about unlock helping with Germany.

    Hmm .. thanks for the info, I was afraid of that .. I'v really been wanting to upgrade my phone for a few months now ... and the S III seems like the best phone right now, but not without that feature. I would rather stick with Verizon though but I am looking at the other carriers because of this.
    Also just found out that FM radio isn't available on the North American versions of the phone .. too bad, my DInc has it, and it helps limit data usage (and presumably uses less power than streaming, plus not all stations stream). It's not a required feature for me, but it was a nice option to have..

  • Hana Studio "The system is locked; the license is invalid or has expired"

    Hello,
    I am using HANA Studio 1.0.48 with HANA One AWS-instance successfully since 4 month. Since one week my HANA Studio Ver. 1.0.48 can't connect with the HANA-DB. Following errors appear during connecting:

    What is wrong?

    Hi Waldermar,
    SAP HANA One Rev 48 (99 cents/hr for HANA on AWS) was released on Feb 17, 2013. Are you using this SAP HANA One Rev 48? Then the information you provided don't match as you can not use SAP HANA One Rev 48 for 4 months. Our previous version, SAP HANA One Rev 38 was released on Oct 16, 2012. SAP HANA One Rev 38 was not directly upgraded to Rev 48 by SAP HANA team. All of these releases have 1 year permanent license for production use.
    However, you will be able to reset SYSTEM password if you have OS (root) access to your instance. You may follow the last section of the discussion Re: Invalid U/N - PW while connecting HANA Studio 1st time to find how to recover SYSTEM password in any HANA landscape (appliance, cloud, etc.).
    Thanks and regards,

    To be more precise, you can setup a JComponent or JPanel on top of your JavaFX nodes that has a TransferHandler that can convert the (AWT/Swing) images dragged to the app to JavaFX image and then insert it into the underlying node.
    As for the file chooser itselft: ListView and the JavaFX composer can allow you to create one quite easily. TreeView can aslso be used to a lesser extend (still a big buggy). For both of these, there are small bugs in the Cell API that may (or may not) prevent from displaying a proper thumbnail in the cells.
    You can also use a regular JFileChooser if you do not mind the dialog box having a different LnF from the rest of your application.

  • I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too..

    I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too. Any ideas? I'm guessing the only way is to do what I've seen in these community pages which states that it can be done but it will drop the bandwidth by 50%. Thoughts?? Thanks!

    The Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G was one of the very few routers said to be compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) settings.
    The info that I have on file indicates that only the WRT-54G versions 4 and under were compatible, so that would be one bridge to cross.
    Even if you find that your Cisco/Linksys might be the right version, Apple never published instructions on how to configure the Express devices with other manufactures, so users were left to their own devices to try to figure out how to get things working. Apple's instructions to connect to other Apple devices are in the link below:
    WDS network
    If you were hoping to use 2 Express devices in this type of configuration...even if it works...the bandwidth penalties will be extremely severe.
    The first Express drops the bandwidth (and speed) on the entire network in half and the second halves everything again. So, the result, in effect would be a "g" wireless network running at 25% speed. Few users would consider installing this type of network.
    At this point, it becomes one of those things where the fact that you might be able to do something does not mean that there would be much value in doing so. But, it is your decision to decide if you want to try to proceed.

  • I want to Sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes however I get an error message from iTunes each time I connect the phone to the PC saying that I should restore to factory settings. Frustrating because it's already annoying enough that I can't drag and drop mp3's!!!

    I have never been so frustrated before in my life with any phone. I find it obnoxious as it is that I cannot simply drag and drop files (especially MP3's) straight from my PC directly into my phone, which I have been used to doing up until now. Everyone who convinced me to get the iPhone has instructed me that my frustration can be fixed by downloading iTunes and syncing it all up via that program (which I have never used before). So, I downloaded the program successfully, however when I connect the iPhone 4 to the PC and iTunes is open, I get an error message that 'iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone "iPhone" and that I should go to the Preferences tab of the iPhone and select 'restore' to restore this phone to factory settings. First of all, I don't understand why I need to do that. I have already downloaded apps and other important things in the 2 days that I have the phone. I am also scared that it will erase my contacts. This is such a headache. Music is very imporatant to me, but I am getting so frustrated that I don't have freedom over the phone which I thought was supposed to be one of the best out there. I would really appreciate help in this matter. I am sure the phone is great but I am on the verge of taking it back and getting something else.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

    I'm not that familiar with how FaceTime works. I know how to set It up but I don't use it. I just know that you can't activate in the UAE. I believe that you can activate in any country that permits it's use. Whether you will need a new ID or not, I can't confirm.
    You can Google this and get all sorts of articles on workarounds. Apparently if you set up a VPN you can use it in the UAE. Here is one article that I found.

  • I need to open up the same web site in two separate tabs. Since I upgraded to Firefox 6 when I try to open the web page in a new tab from the list in the drop down in the address window it only gives be the option to switch to the tab already have open.

    When I go the drop down from the address window, rather than showing the URL of the website I want open in a second tab it says "Switch to tab." But I don't want to switch to the tab - I want to open a second tab on the same URL. If I want to open it a second time I have to manually key in the address. Is there some way to turn this off so I can open up the second tab using the same address from the drop down? I have always been able to do this with previous versions of Firefox.

  • My friend upgraded his phone last night from an older version of the Samsung galaxy to the Samsung s4 galaxy. I'm an iphone user and now he can't receive any of my text messages. HELP!

    So last night my boyfriend upgraded his old Samsung galaxy to the Samsung Galaxy s4. He was able to receive a few of my text messages, but then they randomly started saying "not delivered." I turned on and turned off my phone, and tried the turning off and on imessage and facetime but nothing has worked and I still can't text him. I am receiving his messages just fine, I just can't send any to him. I looked onlne at Apple Support for help but I noticed a majority of the problems were coming from people that switched from iphone to an android, but he has always had an android and I've been using the same iphone 4s the whole time. It is really bugging me, so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    We have had Verizon Wireless service since 2007. We have 6 lines on our account. Unfortunately in 2012 when I (903.647.0073) upgraded from the iPhone4s to the iPhone 5 I started having reception problems. I started having dropped calls in my home. I had to go outside to get reception without dropped calls. I was told that because of metal in my home I would have to purchase a Network Extender for $250. And we HAVE not metal in our home. AND our other lines all work fine. I felt this was ridiculous. We already pay $350+/month for service and I should NOT have to purchase additional equipment for a service that I already pay for. The manager of our local store at the time gave us at no cost a Samsung Network Extender. It worked beautifully until about a month ago. I went to our local Verizon store and was told that I would have to purchase an extender. THIS is RIDICULOUS. We have been loyal customers for over 7 years and have been very satisfied with our service. Unless this issue can be resolved without purchasing an extender we will be switching our service as our lines come up for renewal. I regret this as we have been very happy with our service. But we should NOT have to purchase anything extra for one line that will not get good reception. Again, we pay $350+/ month for a service that does not work properly, simply RIDICULOUS! Currently the "sys" light flashes red (slow) and the GPS light remains red. Please help this very frustrated customer.

    Regardless with what carrier your with you might have the same issue, My recommendation would be to get a router that will help you with viewing live traffic and keep a tally of your usage and any device connected to your internet connection.  You can go with the peplink balance 20 and be able to look at your traffic by the hour, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  Look for trends, see what computers or devices are doing what I attached a screen shot so you can see an example of mine.  You can purchase the router at 3gstore

  • How do I alphabatize all my bookmarks from the drop down menu with the star on the Right side of screen?

    I want to alphabatize all my bookmarks that are in the drop down menu, the menu with the star icon, on the right side of the screen. I do not want to put them in folders or view them in the box from the menu bar and all the answers pertain to that box, and not to the one with the star. Thank you

    I don't think it's possible from the toolbar button.
    However, the action you take in the Bookmarks Sidebar or in the Library dialog will affect the Bookmarks Menu everywhere it is displayed, including the toolbar button, so you only need to use it for the few moments needed to use Sort By Name and then close it.
    Bookmarks Sidebar (either):
    * View menu > Sidebar > Bookmarks
    * Command+b
    Library dialog (either):
    * Bookmarks menu > Show All Bookmarks
    * Command+Shift+b
    right-click "Bookmarks Menu" > Sort By Name

  • Restoring Data from old phone to S III and getting Yahoo E-Mail to work on the Galaxy S III

    I wanted to share some information on how to do a few things on the Galaxy SIII. After spending approximately 6 hours on the phone and On-Line Chat with Verizon Wireless Tech Support they told me the following things could not be done. Well FOR THE RECORD they CAN BE DONE!!!!!
    Here is how to Back-up and Restore your Text, Picture and Video messages from your old phone to your new phone:
    BEFORE you DEACTIVATE the OLD PHONE:
    Make sure you have an External SD card in your old phone that will work in your new phone
    Go to the Play Store and install Verizon Messages
    Open the Verizon Messages program and click on Back-UP – ALL Text, Picture and Video messages will be backed-up. IF YOU GET A “SAVE CANCELLED” MESSAGE:
                         You may have to Back-up LARGE messages (with picture & Video content) individually.
                        You may also have to backup conversation threads 1 at a time if there are a large number of texts in that thread:
         *****Hopefully Verizon will fix AND INCREASE the LOW AMOUNT OF DATA ALLOWED AT 1 TIME ON THIS APP SOON*****
    Once you have everything Backed Up on the External SD Card Remove the SD Card from the old phone and install it in the new phone
    NOW ACTIVATE YOUR NEW GALAXY S III:
    When you are in the Set-Up Wizard:
               If you are using Yahoo E-Mail and want it to be accessible by clicking on the E-Mail Icon
                   DO NOT click on the Yahoo Mail Icon during the E-Mail Account Set-up portion of the Set-Up Wizard!!!
             Instead click on the Other E-Mail Icon and enter your Yahoo E-Mail accounts there – this will assure that the Yahoo E-Mail accounts will
                   sync and update as they should AND be accessible by just clicking on the E-Mail Icon on your screen.
    To Restore your data from the Old Phone to the New Phone After the Set-Up Wizard is completed:
    Make sure you have the External SD card from your old phone installed in your new phone
    Go to the Play Store and install Verizon Messages
    Open the Verizon Messages program and click on Restore – IF YOU SEE 2 SD CARDS LISTED (ON MINE IT LISTED ExtSDCard and SDCARD0) you will have to copy EVERYTHING from the ExtSDCard to the SDCard0. Next Click on Restore again and ALL Text,
    Picture and Video messages will be restored to your New Phone.
    I HOPE THIS SAVES YOU ALOT OF AGGRAVATION AND FRUSTRATION WITH YOUR NEW GALAZY S III

    What type of mail account is it?
    POP, IMAP, etc?
    When you got your new phone did you put on a backup of your old phone?
    If POP, well POP works by keeping track of what it has downloaded or not. So if it got info from your last phone when you synced your new one, then it knows it already downloaded them, thus won't download them again (just how POP works).

  • How do I copy my time machine back up from a smaller Hard disk to a larger hard disk; so that I can then continue to back up, through Time machine, on the larger hard disk?

    I am using time machine for backing up on an external hard disk. This has now become full and every back up results in the deletion of the first back up on the hard drive.
    I have bought a larger hard drive now and am trying to copy the back up from the smaller hard drive to the new larger hard drive, using Finder. This is not happening and the message I am getting is
    "The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a back up"

    Hello UmeshNB,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you are not able to move a backup to another drive. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    Time Machine: How to transfer backups from the current backup drive to a new backup drive - Apple Support
    If it is not formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), reformat the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with a GUID partition. If you do not know how, see the steps in this article. 
    If the drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended but without journaling, OS X may state that "the volume has the wrong case sensitivity" to be used as a back up disk.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Mario
