I bought an Invisibleshield screen protector at BestBuy and had an employee in the cell phone area install it for me. He sprayed the phone directly with the solution and now it appears that the solution has seeped in through the sides. It doesn't affect the screen but it's noticeable under the proximity sensor and earpiece. It's been 4 days since installation and it's still not gone and it's bothering the hell out of me. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it aside from taking the phone apart?

I would take it back in there and complain about it and tell them you want a new one.
Can I do that? I didn't buy the phone from BestBuy, I bought it new from eBay.

I thought you bought from Best Buy, that i'm not sure, I mean it's worth a shot I guess, raise hell if they give you problems, ask to talk to their manager?

Yes you can. If they damage something during installation they must replace it. Raise hell with a manager if you have to. The phone is not in the same condition you brought it in as.

I dropped the Nexus S down a few steps, and there are no scratches or dents.
The camera works fine, and nothing rattles when I shake it.
Are there any other internal damage issues that I should be worried about?
How dare you. The main thing you should be worried about is your nexus running off to a new owner. Lol.

I burst out laughing at your response, thanks for that! XD
I throw mine around my store all day with my seidio case just to show the durability and sell some extra cases. Haven't had any issues yet and it really takes a beating. I'm talking literally throwing it across our sprint store.

I bought that case! Yay!
Edit: to the Original Poster, just fyi, everything attached to the motherboard will survive quite severe shocks. Usually the screen will break before anything else. You may have seen phones with shattered LCD screens that are in otherwise perfectly functioning order

Any one know where I can p/u a extra stock back cover?
I want to see if I can sand the back so its textured and repaint. I only keep my phones for a few months and sell it so I will need the original cover w/o any mods.
Call att and ask for a new one. They usually send new battery covers for any phone for free.

Fixed your title for you
I would like to find a replacement as well. My SR first lesson in gravity resulted (thankfully) in a noticeably scratched battery cover.. Naturally before my aftermarket case protection has arrived from China.
If you have found them or have a contact within AT&T or sammy you can recommend that I call please reply with linkage.
Thanks

Well they used to do it and I'm assuming they still do. I cant find a link though. My friend would always call att and get new covers for his atrix and they sent them. He got like 5 free.
You could say there is a defect and I'm sure they would sent it but I don't think you need to.

I've been searching around myself. would love to see some custom battery covers.
You can find them now on ebay.
Google recently returned a new website that sells the back cover piece for 14 dollars plus 6 dollars shipping. For what it's worth od rTher take the ebay deal and get the extra battery for the same cost as what everyone else is charging.
I bet he is just a matter of time before those covers are only 5 dollars shipped

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!

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.

Brand new One X from AT&T store on Friday. I've noticed when setting the phone down, or tapping the phone, there is a buzzing/rattling sound up around the camera/top portion of the phone.
WTF?
Phone hasn't been dropped. hardly used and in a soft case the entire time.
Guess I can take it back..of course it is rooted/unlocked...but whatever. I know the sales rep since we do business with them and probably would swap it no questions.
Does the white case come off the phone somehow to access batter? Thought maybe I could open it up and check it out real quick and see if it is something stupid..but don't want to screw my phone up either.
Thx.

It can also be that the sim card is loose when inserted. That was another culprit. I put some scotch tape on top and cut it to shape. That extra bit stopped the rattling and improved my signal.

My phone decided it wanted to go for a swim on the 4th and is dead. Tried bag of rice to no avail. I have the insurance and was given the choice of the HTC Sensation or Galaxy S2. Went with the Galaxy.
Anyway, I just want to say thanks to everyone on this forum for the awesome ROM work and support over the last year or so. It's too bad we can't get the display drivers API from LG so we can get some ICS with working video love, but oh well.
Again, just want to thank everybody. I will now be hanging in the Galaxy S2 forums until my full discount comes into effect in February and I can get the S3.

Enjoy the GS2...

It's $130, just called. My phone has been shutting off and going crazy when off the charger. Selected GS2 as well. Have to send the G2X back within 15 days.

I called in and asked them what the replacement was. They said that the G2x is discontinued and not available as a replacement, so they gave me the option to choose between the SG2 and the HTC Sensation. When I said the SG2, they even gave me the option to choose between Black or White. I chose black.

Similar situation here. They apologized that the g2x wasn't available and offered me a Sensation. I played it off as I hadn't heard of that phone before and asked if she'd mind waiting a minute while I looked at the phone online. She said sure and that I should check out the GS2 as well, that was another alternative. I said I was familiar with that and chose it, opted for white
Well as I stated in other post I was needing a replacement so I called in. But they didn't offer me a different phone. They shipped out the same one. Its cool with me but weird how "its not available" but I got one

Yea and he more then likely had to pay. That's just how T-Mobile does. Anything aside from hardware defaults you have to pay about 100-130 not sure exact price

If you have insurance call them up tell them what happened and they will either offer you a different phone like gs2 or the same for that 100ish. I needed a new phone but they didn't offer me the gs2 they just sent me the same. But then again it was a free exchange so who knows

I had to pay too, said the phone was acting up, battery dropping quickly, had to pull battery constantly. I also told them that I stooped at my TMobile store and they suggested I call them.
I've had to pay in the past too, fire a charging port issue. I believe you always have to pay, no matter what happened. I received a refurbished phone, perfect condition.
