<---- what was i thinking lol

Not sure.
I got a replacement OEM digitizer from China. I havent installed it yet. Can you tell me about the adhesive which bonds the LCD to the digitizer? Was this a real pain to remove and did your new digitizer have some adhesive on it?
Im not sure about your colors, although I know there are factory LCD tests that can be performed, etc. They can be dangerous though so be careful... I would double check your connector, if thats not it.. Ask for refund and try another place.
Did the seller say it was OEM? And for your exact model?

I had a laptop screen a while back that did that, and it was because the connector was not pushed all the way in. It would periodically come loose, and I would have to disassemble the screen and push the connector back it. Maybe see if you can push it in farther or secure it better?

My digitizer is from china to. The adhesive is on the digitizer and glue to the frame in the first pic. LCD is not glue just trapped in between frame & digitizer. I used a a hairdryer to free the digitizer. I should of heated it more very hard to remove the glue my razor blade got to close to the LCD that why I replaced it & I ordered the LCD by mistake so I used the new LCD from china.
I check the connector the Green Gone! I can use my Tab plus again. But I think the LCD from china is not as good as the samsung. That what I get for being cheap $40 w/shipping
Thanks for the help!

I have one too. So far so good, though I didn't use the screen protector that came with it.
Is there a docking cradle that works with this case? I bought the one recommended by Samsung (EDD-D200BEGSTD) but it doesn't fit at all. There's a ridge in front of the USB connector that pushes up against the keyboard. I don't think it would fit even with the case off...

you mind posting links to cases that fit well?
i didn't get a case for the new cell so far since i always had trouble with them falling off when sliding the keyboard in and out after a while or didn't really fitting at all.
but if there's one that you ppl could recommend... my new electronic toy could use a lil extra protection

Case/cover.
I'm trying to find that case in UK as from us it will be about £20 !
Does anyone know where to buy it in UK or any online site but cheaper.
If not I will go for it as need to protect my precious (still waiting to be delivered).
Can anybody post some photos of that case as even on google pictures they not show it cover fully unit.
Or maybe someone have any alternative?
Regards
Mac
UPDATE
I just bought SA-321
http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...alpro-hard-shell-case-with-silicone-core.html
And even found discount code 20% less !
So I am happy now, no need to buy screen protector even.

Looks pretty good honestly, I may get one of those feather cases.
Here some pictures:

(If you want to buy one there, you may want to use the coupon code "inc20" - saves you 20%.) (expired)

Just ordered the SA-321 for my wife's Relay. Btw, the coupon code no longer is active.

I have just received an SA-321 case. It's of very good quality and I like the rubbery-but-not-too-much feeling of it. Compared to the SA-316, it covers the power and volume buttons. It makes the power button a lot easier to press and the slide-out mechanism feels somewhat more solid.
I like it a lot.

Agree. Though a bit pricey, my wife fell in love with it instantly. Great feel, good protection, and looks great too.:good:

[Q] Damaged Camera Lens

Hi guys,
I managed it to break to glass of my camera on my Nexus 5.
The camera still works, it just looks like I'm taking pictures in a fog.
So all I need to replace would be the covering glass.
Can you point me somewhere or give me hints?
How complicated is such an repair, can I do it on my own?
Will I be able to get the replacement?
Regards

You wouldn't get warranty coverage and so you'll have to pay for the replacement glass, as well as the repair cost. Its safer if you just hand it over to LG for repairs, because you wouldn't want to get any dust under the glass when you replace it yourself (if that was even possible). I'm pretty sure they'll be able to get a replacement. Check your phone documentation for the nearest service center that should get you started.

There is a replacement part that you can buy yourself for around $35 I think, just search for the other similar threads for the link.
Can I ask how it happened?

Heres the replacement: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-To...er_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item1c3c3e8403
Good luck
I knew this day would happen
Try contact LG they may do it for you free or for a low price.

Thanks for the link, do you think it is safe to do it on my own? (Doesn't look to hard to do tbh)..
I can't tell you how it happened. I looked at my phone and the glass was broken. I didn't had my keys in my pocket or something

Check out the Nexus 5 teardown guide on ifixit.com and see if its something you're comfortable with doing. As long as you're handy, have the tools to get the job done, extremely patient and know how to follow directions then I'd say go for it.

Chrome / Metal Band GS5 Sprint

I hate to say that I have christened my Sprint Galaxy S5 by dropping it WITHOUT a case. Almost 3 months without incident!! When it dropped the bottom right hand corner specifically the chrome band around the phone is dinged. My question is does anybody know if there is a way to replace JUST that band, and if it is possible where to get it? Pictures to follow later tonight!

Wholly moly! That looks the like pretty much the housing assembly correct? Do you know of a site that sells, and the difficulties of swapping?
I thanked you, but just want to say thank you as well!

I buy the parts direct from china, not too sure about any online site, i'm sure some does sell it, also updated with a tear down link.

Thanks again!

Here's the part you'll need:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/351070105491
I work for a repair shop and we get parts from these guys, so I can without a doubt vouch for the quality, price, and shipping time.
As for replacing it.... Good luck, you'll need it. The only way into the S5 is behind the screen which must be removed to open it up. It's glued down with superSam****adhesive so more likely than not you'll end up breaking the display or separating the display from the glass. If your screen is fine, it's not worth the cost of replacing your entire display just to replace the midframe.
Just in case, here's a display w/ the home button flex: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351067874432

also need to buy the panel sticker adhesive and the display rim adhesive.
I got all these stuff apart from the panel adhesive, but traded my S5 yesterday for a Tab S 8.4.:fingers-crossed:

Thanks guys for your help! After looking at everything needed to be done I think you guys are right, I will just live with the nicks I have, and since they are a bit sharp, i'll use a dremel on low speed to grind down a little. Like I said thanks again for the eye opener!!!! LoL:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:

Replace the display.
Always use a good case like the Zizo Bolt otherwise this phone will get damaged.

The price of the screen is very high, my brother, and I cannot buy it. Is there an alternative way to fix it?

Replace the whole phone. At least you could use the old one maybe for some parts in the future.
Unfortunately there's no way to repair a AMOLED display as it is comprised of thousands of semiconductors in its matrix that controls the individual OLEDs. The touch screen circuitry was also damaged.

This phone won't survive without a good case. Not much help now, but bear that in mind if you replace it or haven't damaged it yet. With no case they are harder to hold too... slippery fish.
There's almost zero bezel... and the only thing they do more than corner hit when dropped is face plant on the display side. The spen corner seems to take more hits than the other corners too.
