should I be able to see it just by taking off the back cover? or do I have to remove the battery too?

Warranty won't cover cracked screen
Not to mention that is fraud, which is not exactly something you should recommend in a public forum...

Make the person who pushed it off the counter pay the insurance amount.
Insurance is meant to cover things like this. That's not fraud

New deductible is 100$ for smartphone, least mine is. Cheaper then the 600 new without a contract.

I accidentally pushed my phone off of the bathroom counter and it landed flat on the screen. Not a scratch on the screen but there is a hairline crack in the top left corner of the casing. Strange that the case would crack before the screen.
Ya this is what insurance is for so it not fraud. But I was more wondering if there is a replacement screen for this phone out yet that I could buy and fix myself? And ya when the phone dropped it landed right on the corner so all force of impact was concentrated in one spot...

He can use a lighter and heat up the void sticker. Use tweezers and carefully remove it. It will all come off in one piece, then you can open it up, replace what needs to be replaced, put it back together, and put the sticker back over the screw. VZW will never know.

A blow dryer is better than a lighter for this.
Thats just as wrong as getting warrenty replacement...

This is y I always use amex to purchase devices. They willreplace it for you as long as it is within 90 days. No question asks.

Hahaha using a blow dryer to heat up the void sticker. I gotta try this!
I only got back the purchase price from Amex, not enough to replace it
I would recommend going through the insurance to get it replaced. The same thing happened to my Thunderbolt (today, actually) and it was relatively hassle-free. Functionality of the phone wasn't really affected so the cost was only $99.00 for the replacement. I figure it's better to pay this and start with a fresh phone than waiting until something really breaks on it.
So I was a little too rough taking off the back cover and I guess I warped it or something... Whenever I apply pressure to the back of the phone (like when you grab it) it creaks and squeaks... and it's really bothering the **** out of me
I tried searching but I just can't find any... Anyone know where I can get a replacement?
It says out of stock now buy they had them a couple days ago. Also, you have to order at least 5. http://www.globaldirectparts.com/LG-Star-P990-Optimus-2X-Battery-Door-p/lg970940.htm

Saw that one... It's the wrong color though
I'm pretty sure that's the right color. Keep in mind that's a garbage quality picture of it and the metal piece has protective plastic over it.

P990 (O2x) has a black back opposed to the G2x with the brown
So a little earlier today I took of my phone's hybrid case to clean the screen. Also took off the back cover to check for any dust just in case any may have got into there, I noticed a black sticker with a white dot on it. Now since I don't know what it is I decided that maybe its better if I just leave it alone. Can anyone please provide me some insight of what exactly is it for?

Not sure what you are seeing cause I dont see it, but it may be the water damage indicator. However the water damage indicator on my phone is just a small white square. It turns pink when exposed to water.
Sticker I am referring to is behind the battery tho.
Oh okay. I'm still searching around to see if I can find out what exactly is it

If you are refering to the one next to the sim card I believe it is a tamper sticker. So samsung will know if the phone has been opened by a non authorized service center.
Oh okay. Thank you both very much for the knowledge.

Hi there,
I've had a look but can't find any posts on this, search is temporarily disabled at the moment as well.....
Anyhoo, I've got an IMEI panel on the back of my N5 between the NEXUS and LG markings.
Does anyone know if these can come off? I have a buff rectangle with the IMEI number and a barcode which seems to be mounted on a larger black glossy rectangle.
I don't want to end up making the phone look crap, I assume they're stuck on.
Anyone any success in removing them? Not particularly a fan of it as it is.....
Thanks for any help!
Justin
Yes it comes off
Mine came off really easily and left no marks, and I have the white model
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Just to confirm it does come off , I have the black one and also thought this but simply pick at the right side (the tab bit) and it should come away from the back relatively easily and leave no mess, enjoy your clean back! .
Just taken mine off with no problems!

Lol! Just came looking for an answer to this as well. Didnt want to mess up the back. Thanks all!
I was thinking the same thing! haha...I was pissed that none of the hands on videos showed the sticker and mine came with a sticker loll
just wondering for those who took the sticker off, do you have LG d820 under the sticker, with a glassy plastic finish?

hahaha omg it looked like it was apart of the device. i feel like a dumbass
well that sure was easy
Sorry for necroing, but for those who wonder, your IMEI tag is under the battery so removing that annoying sticker won't void your warranty or something like that. Peeled mine off easily.
First off, I love my note 3. This phone is so close to perfect I can't bear the fact that I broke it somehow.
After having no case/screen protector since I got this phone.. sometime end of summer.. I bought my first case off of amazon. I received it YESTERDAY.. today.. while it was in the case, in my back pack (in a nice "protective" pouch that is lined with soft cloth) somehow it cracked the lcd screen (or digitizer) but the GLASS IS NOT CRACKED. Infact there's no physical damage to the phone at all, no dents or scratches anywhere on the phone at all, even looking at the screen under a light. Nothing on the glass.
SO I'm heart broken. It's my secondary phone so I have no insurance on it.
What would you do ? It's a sprint phone.. black.
You have to replace your complete screen.
It's called a full assembly.
You can't just replace you lcd alone.
They cost around $200.

I repair alot of phones and this site always has the best quality.

There's no damage at all, not even a slight scratch. I'm actually a little curious how it happened.
So it can really be some fault in phone that'll go under warranty have you tried resetting phone if it's some software fault / bug?

Yes.. you can see the top third of the screen for a minute or two, then it goes black/digital looking (8 bit graphics) and then eventually joins the bottom of the screen - being broken.

Actually - I looked at it under the light, if you hold it up to your eye level you can see a cracked digitizer

if there is no obvious damage such as a mark where is bounced on the ground or a crushed screen, i'd warranty it.
Isn't the Note a bit large to place in your back pocket?

I had the same thing happen, although it happened after someone else dropped the phone.
I ended up buying a new front assembly for the phone for about $237. It was the only seller that affirmatively listed the display as AMOLED. The repair was pretty straightforward and it works well now

But a good hit on the side of the phone can crack an lcd. Seen many.
You cant see any thing wrong unless you hold it into the light.

I decided to go the honest route.
Handed her the phone saying that I dropped it, don't have insurance, can't get it anymore because it's been too long and asked if there was anything that could be done.
She smiled, said "Finally someone is honest, let me see what I can do"
Turns out they had a broken Note3 in the back with a good digitizer and screen.
Charged me 75 bucks, signed me up for insurance (I'm months outside the 30 day window) and sent me on my way.
Sure it's not free, but for 75 bucks and I don't have to mess with it and I kept my integrity, I'm happy!

I didn't drop it, but someone else did. So the warranty was gone.
The parts for the repair cost $237, i think, and was totally doable.

you actually can replace just the screen - there is a youtube video of a guy doing it.
However, when I did it, it was actually cheaper to buy the entire assembly...not to mention much easier.
