Your cheapest bet is going to be finding somebody who buys a damaged phone for parts and sells this part off of it to you.
Good luck finding another way, though!

lens replacement
I would find another reason to have VZW to replace it for you....then you can have a new lens, etc.

Or just call Nexus One or HTC support and they can usually send you one out for free.

I second that. They sent me a free slip cover when I lost my previous one. Even if they are going to charge you for the battery cover, might as well find out how much.
wow that much for that battery cover???

if you get a new cover, could i interest you in selling your old one ?
I work in a no-camera area so i'm looking for a back cover to take the lens out.
Just PM me when you're up for it.
does anyone one know any other websites or has anyone had any success with obtaining one through customer service to them through customer service
Just reaching out to the community (again, sorry) to see if dust is appearing behind the glass screen covering the camera lens on anyone else's g2x. I just noticed a spec or two that appears to not be a scratch or smudge. This phone is amazing despite this and a few reboot/lockup issues I'm had that everyone is claiming is software related... so this dust issue is really my last concern with this phone. I've seen this problem occur before on previous phones ive owned and it eventually spiraled into levels much more severe then just a spec or two. Levels that start to make some phone functions difficult to use or unusable altogether.
Again, any input would be greatly appreciated. I just want a general consensus from the community to determine if I simply have a defective model or not. Thanks.

I have lots of dust on mine but it doesnt show up when i take a picture. Guess there is nothing i can do about it. I got my phone for free so cant complain.
Have you removed the back cover and cleaned the dust from behind there?

lol it's ok
The first thing i noticed when i was putting my sim card and battery in was the lens cover. That is good design. All of my other phones have had a sealed lens cover. So if you did get dust behind there you were screwed.
still a lame design, no cover on flash so dust gets in there when most phones don't have this issue.
I had to remove cover just to clean area to get a clear photo yesterday. LAME!
Aight knowledgeable xda members..
I have recently cracked my g2x screen... but i got looking at replacement parts n so forth.... wondering a thing or 2
ok best place to find the screen/digitizer and are there bad brands that i need to stay away from??
And 2 are there any custom g2x housings online other then oem black?
was hoping for maybe a silver.. and a case just dont do it for me either...
any advice would be helpful...
You can buy a white bezel and it definitely sells a lot more if u were wondering. Also its unique and it looks good.
here is a link for a white one, to answer your question, I don't know if it is a good or bad company. Hopefully i won't crack my screen to find out.

Ya I saw that when I was looking.
It would b cool for a silver/aluminum one...

Hello xda community!
With an unfortunate drop from my high up bed, my g2x's screen cracked.
Thankfully the entire screen still works just fine.
My question is, does anyone know where I should go to have my screen replaced? Or if anyone knows a good way to replace the screen?
Any help and suggestions will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Well if you have the time and the skill. Do it yourself. Fleabay has them for $50..

I have replaced a few smartphone digitizers now and it is not that hard. Just watch a youtube video and get the right tools on amazon for cheap. I would say the skill level is 6/10.
or you could pay double that for a company to do it for you and be without a phone for a week or two...
I have a dugutuzer for sale. Brand new. Its not hard at all. Took me 20 minutes. Pm me if you want it. Ill even send you the tools needed.

In my area, if you look at Craigslist, there are so many people that offer cellphone repair services. Try Craigslist.
Amazon sells a replacement kit for about 60 dollars it has the tools and screen. I did it in under 20 min.
Just search Amazon buddy and then search YouTube for a video on how to take it apary
Nvidia always!

The only problem I have with doing it myself, is that I have tried replacing the screen on my old mt3g slide and ended up screwing up my phone, and had to throw it away.
After that, I don't feel safe doing it.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Thankfully I found this thread and went the Amazon route as well - $54 and about 30 mins of prying a few stubborn glass shards off the frame later my g2x is working flawlessly.
I'd even go so far as to say this new digitizer is a little more responsive than the original one!

Haha I know how you feel with the mt3g slide. That one is impossible because one of the slidescrews got stripped for me. Thankfully I had drill bits handy. I just replaced my aunts g2x last Monday and it is easy if you buy the digitizer with the bezel, that way you don't have to worry about prying the glass. Difficulty is like 5/10. All you have to do is take your time. If a 17 y/o can do it, so can you

I just bought one of these for about 23 dollars same seller. I replaced it but the digitizer does not work as good as the original. It is not as accurate to the touch and hardly works at all with a screen protector on it. If I had to do it over I would get the one mounted to the frame. It worked like the original.

Hey all, I was just wondering is it possible to buy a coloured backplate for my Xoom? I find the standard one quite boring and would like to change it!

You can buy skins not sure about backplates, but their easy enough to paint

Thanks a lot for your answer but I was hoping for something a little bit easier to do I don't have any experience doing it and I don't feel like trying on my beloved Xoom
I would be really grateful for a link to a replacement part.
Many thanks
Ive no idea if you can get replacements, maybe direct from motorola i dont know but if you find anywhere report back would be handy to know

Try cellular nationwide network. I've bought parts for my blackberry and other phones in the past. Was even thinking of this for my Xoom.
