I got my Z2 yesterday and unfortunately dropped it later that evening and the glass on the back shattered.. Does anybody know how much it would cost me to replace the glass on the back? is there something i can buy and replace it myself?
I doubt there's anyone out there right now who does it, unless maybe you live in Europe. I'd try contacting Sony, see what they say.
You can buy glass replacement on ebay already, doesnt cost much

I've been around a few places in my city today and one of them could legally repair Sony devices but that would cost me over 400 dollars..
I suggest repairing it yourself. Back should be easily repairable. The front is much harder..

Yeah, I've seen some videos of the z1's back being replaced.. Doesn't look that hard, I just need to buy the back for Z2 but I can't find it online.. I probably need to wait a few weeks.

Thanks for link although I don't think I'll get that one.. I think they forgot to add the "A" on the back... :laugh:
Yeah i noticed that now, you should contact seller and ask some questions, after all he is stating its "genuine". Im pretty sure i saw some more of these, maybe on amazon not ebay.

Just curious, but why would you like to do that?
Yes, along with voiding warranty and some tech skills.

Nooo, it wasnt an out of nowhere crack, my friend pushed me while I was holding it and it got dropped down...

Damn, that's unfortunate. Feel sorry for you, seriously. Would you mind changing thread name to "Housing cracked". I now there no issue as such, like with Arc, but at least more people would be aware. That's why maybe it s actually worth considering buying case.
As I said. Its a very small and someone that dont know about it wont notice it so its ok. Ty anw for ure help!

Change the housing and change your friend just kidding.
I bet it is possible, when I change the arc's housing at very early time it was very expensive but later got a lot cheaper. Try and make it a warranty issue. Does your phone has sign of being dropped?
It could be more difficult to do it under warranty, better chances under insurance?

as "Cholek3" recommends, insurance would be nice since its the complete replacement of the phone. Warranty housing replacement sucks because first you have to send it back to repair center for inspection and sometimes to send it back.

It got a few scratches even when I was putting it on screen, blacks are not black anymore and touch responsiveness drastically dropped. I bought it from ebay because it seemed to be the best choice. Can I get a geniuine or tempered glass replacement for my s3?
Yes, take it to a reputable repair shop. Anything on ebay is suspect.

The problem seems to be the glue, There is a space between the screen and the glass, thus making it look worse and the touchscreen issues. Do you know anywhere I can find this kind of glue?
The problem is you've bought a £3 screen replacement kit, which is obviously complete rubbish. Either pay someone to do the right job with the right parts, or live with the rubbish.

With... a rag? Micro fiber cleaning cloth? Windex? Rubbing alcohol?
It's a water proof phone- if it weren't for the fact that doing so would snap the thing in half you could probably throw it in the dish washer too.

Rubbing alcohol might do the trick, but I think you misunderstood:
I feel dirty... I got SWMBO an S4 zoom.
To the people that think development on the ZU is dead - visit the s4 zoom section

Oh you poor fool...
I think the only real solution left to you is to just burn the affected areas off with the most powerful fire you can find. I can't really see a better solution.
I've found the only way to get rid of feeling that kind of dirty is to hit the booze for a couple of years until you forget about it.

I see. I know first hand how it is to go back to something smaller. I had to use my old Desire HD when I had my Ultra in for repairs, and it was pretty brutal. I guess you can wait a couple of weeks and see if Sony do release an Ultra 2 or not.

You may want to check out http://www.gethuawei.com/huawei-ascend-mate-2.html . this is what I went to to get mine. Its unlocked and has free shipping for orders over $99. They are selling the phone for around $300 but I got mine when they had a special on them and got a reverse charging cable, a sim card and $50 net 10 card all for free. They don't have that now but it still might be worth checking them out.
I bought mine from Consumer Cellular. If I had to do it again, I would pay the extra $50 and get one via gethuawei.com. Not that CC is bad mind you, but it was a bit of extra effort to get it both boot loader and carrier unlocked.
Need to send you a little something to defray the cost. PM me and I can get you via paypal.

if your looking for a case to go with your new phone you may want to check this one out.
http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-pro...-4g/cyclops-case-huawei-ascend-mate-2-4g.aspx
you can probably find it cheaper on amazon but its very good at keeping your phone safe. I have one and their very good, the only thing is if you need to take the phone out you just about need a chisel to get the case open again. All the ports like the charging port and headphone jack is covered the only thing that not really covered by the case a little bit at the top where the speaker is.

I do not recommend the white one. It has a glossy back that is highly slippery. I tried all the rubberised cases then just ended up buying the black OEM back for it.

The White one was what I had initially (sample device). Wife loves that one for some reason. I'm definitely aiming for the black though. That is for sure. Would be pretty slick if I could get the Black model with a dark red back cover.... Oh how sweet would that be lol.

Someone gave me a SGS5 with a cracked rear camera lens. I replaced the lens and made sure I really cleaned the camera but it has these 3 brown shadows. They are small but very annoying. So I ordered a new camera.
My question is has anyone replaced one before and how hard is it?
TIA for any replies.

It's easy. It's only connected by a ribbon cable I believe, should be a quick 10 minute job.

Thanks but while replacing the screen I jacked up the digitizer. I can't believe I did that. I'm looking on line and the cheapest I can find is $125 . I can buy a whole used one for that much or less if I get lucky. Guess I'll be using it for parts now. Thanks for the reply anyway.
