Anyone know of any good companies that you can send your phone to to get it fixed for somewhat cheap? Any good ways of going about this would be greatly appreciated.

If its a 3 or lower, its pretty easy to do yourself, but if its a 4 or up, i think the LCD is glued to the glass, which makes it almost impossible.

i've done it myself twice. first time took 3 hours to figure everything out, second time took 30 min.

The back screen is the easiest thing ever to fix. Literally takes 30 seconds

While we're on the topic, how much does it cost to fix a galaxy s3 with a cracked screen?

they have kits online you can buy for about $15-$30 that comes with everyone you need, including the tools. grab one of those and then get on youtube and find a tutorial. its actually pretty easy and i've done it twice now.

Dude just fix it yourself. It's pretty easy to do. You can order parts off of amazon for $60. And there are plenty of step by step videos on the net.

The estimated cost of <a href="http://www.matchfinancial.com/">iPhone repairs</a> might seem a reason for Android owners to rub it in, but switching to a phone with Google’s OS won’t save you. According to Wired, a survey last year by WDS, a wireless services company, found that Android owners were far more likely to call into repair and customer services centers than iPhone owners.

Doesn't always have to be a competition between the two... If someone is trying to rub it in that your repairs cost more, they're a dick.

I don't think that there are companies out there that would do that. If you like to have your iPhone repaired, you should have it checked at Apple Store's near you, and not just any technicians who tell you that they can fix your phone. The iPhone is one stylish cell phone. It has been the handset of choice for the hipper in our midst for some time, but there's something to give one pause about buying one. Namely, they are fragile, a fussbudget, and expensive to fix, as one study estimates upward of $5.9 billion has been spent on iPhone fixes since the phone was launched in 2007. A cash advance will help you pay for your phone bill this month.
