Broken Rear Glass - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody, i broke my Z2's rear glass and i want to know if anybody already replaced it. Is it easy to replace? Can i find a spare glass at ebay/DX/aliexpress?
Thanks.

Yes for example here here is a glass together with adhesive sticker

And Here is a video tutorial on how to replace it. Doesnt matter if the video is for z1 the procedure is the same

And if you ask:
what if you dont have a heat gun...you can do it with a hair dryer i am sure you have one i also done this with a hair dryer.
And of course next time post in Q & A section you will get response quicker.

Beware as most of those rear glasses are fake, copies
The real ones are from Germany and I think Italy, with nfc

cracked but working screen repair

So I bought a Vibrant in excellent condition on craigslist for $40 ... Except the screen glass is cracked.. the phone operates and touch input works just like it should just the glass on the front is broke and spiderwebbed most on the left side and some of the bottom.. I could use it as is and be somewhat satisfied but I noticed on Ebay you can get a new glass lens for $8.00 shipped.. these are from china. Just wanted to get some feedback on difficulty to replace and if anyone here has done this? I watched a vid on youtube but they are assuming the lcd/digitizer/glass needs replacing.. not just the glass. Anyway.. here's the link>>>

To replace just the glass its actually slightly harder than just replacing the digitizer. The steps are the same for the most part. You basically have to go through the extra step of detaching the lens using a heat gun and then attaching the new lens and reassembling everything.

cool.. if you could find it that'd be great.. the lens is gonna be here on tuesday.
removing glass.
I too, ordered the glass.I took apart my vibe and it's damned near impossible to remove the broken glass. I tried using a hairdryer ,but i didn't want to get it so hot that the digitizer gets roasted.Isn't there something that you can spray on,s it loosens it?
I have cracked working display too

Hi , I read your posts and I am hoping you may have found the vid that shows how to remove and separate the glass from the LCD, I have read a couple of posts elswhere stating that it can't be done, but I don't believe that is true. Any help or advice would be great. I have already replaced the SIM/MicroSD Card module so I have taken it apart and put it back together and it is pretty easy to do. But the separating of the glass/LCD has me wondering what I need to know as I have no idea what is in there, such as: glass, digitizer, LCD etc. is the digitizer a separate part from glass and LCD? geez I am wondering if I should have spent $90 on the assembly (don't have it at this time, I on disability and am broke so I thought I could try the glass only route) Well, if you could give me some direction or advice I'd appreciate it.:fingers-crossed:
DO NOT REMOVE JUST THE SCREEN. Me and my father did a lot of research on it because my screen is cracked. the company that assembles the glass has a special matching to put the glass and digitizer together. A digitizer pack is around 90 dollars and that is the easiest and safest way to replace the broken screen without harming the digitizer

[Q] Chaning front cover with Glass

Hey,
I want to change the complete cover of my neo (looks kinda wasted atm
I have found this Video below how to disassemble the phone,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOE_Z-y8FUs but my Problem is that i only find new covers without the glass...
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Sony-Ericsso...esignfolien&hash=item257260a639#ht_1585wt_906
or only the glass http://www.amazon.de/Sony-Ericsson-...F150/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341754831&sr=8-1
Can i now buy only the cover and carefully press the glass of my Neo out and after that glue it with the new cover ?
Hope some1 has better knowledge and can help me out
I´d say: take your's apart and see how it's glued together.
Personally I really want to replace the worn out buttons, but parts are expensive.

Dust is your biggest problem if you gonna open your phone, so do it somewhere "clean place"

[Neo V] Broken screen

So it happened - my neoV fell on the ground. The screen smashed totally, however
the picture still seems to be clear behind broken glass, no bleeding or discoloration.
It's still responsive to gestures, however there is danger of cutting myself while touching the surface.
Now I need to know what needs replacing. Is it only the touchscreen - I've found some on ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SONY-ERIC...arts_Tools&hash=item4604353c33#ht_2532wt_1165
however I'm not sure if this is only a thin foil that goes over the glass or this is the whole glass that I need to replace with.
The cover is slighty scratched at one corner, this is not of such importance to me, I just need a working screen.
if screen is entirely responsive, then touchscreen/digitizer is ok, no need to replace it.
you might be just lucky and end up with ONLY broken front mask.
Digitizer is behind the glass? I thought this is a one-piece component. How is this mask called?
EDIT: you were probably referring to front cover? I found those also on ebay. I'm not sure how NEO V screen is held together - digitizer can be separated from front case?
Front cover, front mask, front housing..different names, but yes we think on same.
Digitizer shoud be stuck with screen and front case can be removed without separating from digitizer or screen.
Google up for disassembly videos tutorials or pdf guides, you can even find it in accessories section.
Repair
It's danger for screen sensor if you direct touch,,,
suggest go to Sony center nearly
sorry my bad english
It's the digitizer. It's composed from glass + sensors and this part as whole can be detached from front case.
But I need a new front case too, I found one of the side panels to have broken support latches around screws. It's time to get a red one
Does anyone know if MT15i Mt15a parts are compatible with MT11i Mt11a?
Xpeia neo v front screen glass cracked
Hey buddy,
I have broken the screen glass of my xperia neo v and fortunately it is working fine still.........
All the gestures are working perfectly and there are no changes in color...........just like u've mentioned.........
Just wanted to know if you've got your screen replaced, if yes from where? how much did it cost you?
Could you please give me some tips for the same.
Thanks & Regards.
I did
You need a new digitizer and case if some important parts of it are broken. Mounting the digitizer is a bit difficult, since it's hard to close it without trapping dust between it and LCD. Look into the technical manual
Check eBay for prices.

[Q] Glass Lens Break

Hi guys,
I have break the glass of my xt910 and i search to replace it.
On internet i found 2 type of replacement parts, one type with lcd/digitizer and glass lens for ~100$ and the other with just glass lens for ~30$.
My LCD and my digitizer work fine so i don't want to buy useless things but on video that i watch where a guy disassemble a razr. At the end, they have just the part with lcd/digitizer and glass lens and they don't go far away.
So i want to know if i can just buy a glass lens and replace just this part on my razr.
I post you a photo of my smartphone.
Thanks and sry for english this is not my native language.

I think you should get a Glass+Digitizer, its available in ebay from China sellers for around 85$. Because in most devices removing glass from digitizer will be a tough task!!

I see a tuto with a air dryer. For 70$ im ready to test this solution.
Thank you
Anyone else ?
Not sure if you went through with it, but I'd advise against it. I was about to do this with my old Razr and we backed out. The digitizer and screen are fuzed together so separating them is really difficult without cracking the actual screen (I've heard it's actually impossible).

Where can I buy a replacement camera?

Hello, where can I find a replacement of the rear camera for the Moto G4 XT1622? I did'nt find anything searching on google...

Replacement Camera
I guess the only option available is Moto Service Centre. They replace genuine parts, but price is little high.

So why the genuine glass cover got scratches? I have personally ordered replacement glass from Amazon.in for about Rs. 400 and it is much better than stock glass.
If you want to spend more like Rs. 1200-1500 go for a service centre repair.
This one should fit you right

Cleaning glass with petrol with a bit rough cloth will solve the purpose easily....I did for mine....
It actually cleans the oleophobic coating...
Hello everyone,
I had the same problem of blurry camera it was caused due to scratches on the oleophobic coating on the camera lens.
I would not recommend you to replace lens (if u want u can get it on Amazon for around 200-250rs in India) as replacement lens might have the same problem of scratches after some time.
Instead I had used rust removal paste to get rid of scratches. After using it my camera is Crystal clear. Before that I had tried using pepsodent toothpaste it didn't work. I even tried sharp object to scrape the coating it didn't work. So the best solution to the problem is to use rust removal paste with tissue paper or cloth to rub over the lens within one minute all scratches disappear.
Hit the thanks if my solution worked for u.

You can also use metal polish(grainier) or car polish.
