Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get my hands on some replacement keys for the S4. Perhaps different colors? Hopefully a trusted seller and a good product. Mainly looking for a home key replacement but, also looking for a volume key replacement if it's available. I've heard of this through word of mouth so I'm not sure where to start looking myself.
Thanks guys!

I'm not sure about the replacement for the actual buttons, but there are many stickers that you can buy for the button that can change it. I have an orange jelly one on mine.

Hey thanks for the reply, I watched a video earlier where a guy was testing out an aluminum replacement cover and he had an orange home button. Not sure if it's a sticker, I'll watch it again. Anyways, could you point me to where you were able to get your stickers? I'd like to check them out!

I'm wondering if that was me, lol. Was it an aluminum battery cover replacement? Was it this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUR5QswNRG4&feature=c4-overview&list=UUUq1CULTCjDVXevhpWHpMeQ?
If that was me, then it is a sticker. It came with my spigen screen protector, but you can find them here or on ebay if you search for galaxy s4 button sticker.

Haha yeah it was you. Okay cool. So it's a sticker, thanks for clearing that up for me. I'll give it a look then. I'm definitely going to get the aluminum case though. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the link! I don't see any different colors though on this site. My S4 is the white model so I'm particularly looking for buttons in colors other then white

Hi
I have damaged the metallic black bezel around the screen at a few places (especially the part above the micro usb port). I guess it is called Faceplate.
What I wanted to know is if I can replace this part somehow. If I look at the region under the screen after opening the slider, it appears as if it can come off.
If it is possible to replace it, does anyone know where can I buy one of these?? I have googled but could not find anything.
I have found only a full cover. Try searching milestone 2 housing on eBay.
Or here is the link:

Thanks dude. Now I have to find someone who can deliver it to India. BTW are you sure Droid 2 is physically exactly same as Milestone 2. They do appear same. Just wanted to know if someone has used this cover etc. Plus anything on the quality??

I've ordered one from the link above and I should receive it in the next 7-14 days so I'll let you know how I go but I'm 100% confident that the physical housing between the MS2 and D2 are identical.
I have received the housing (from the eBay link above) and fitted it last night. The case is a Verizon stamped unit and is 100% perfect, next time I think I'll just live with the worn look. Very fiddly job but does give you an appreciation of the engineering ... They use a lot of adhesive, pita.
Well I have managed to knick the display input cable and now have a one centimetre row smack in the middle of the screen that won't respond to touch. My fault, I thought I'd taken care to ensure no damage to some of these fragile cables but alas no
So, just ordered a SGII Stick that where the sun doesn't shine Motorola! Yeah, I know you couldn't care less but I feel better
Well thanks for the info. I won't have the luxury of buying a new one if I ruin my MS2 so I guess I'll stick with a little wear and tear. BTW nice buy!!
Or just take it to your nearest phone repair shop and they'll sort it out. =D

How does the housing attach to the digitizer/glass? Because the tutorial I found on iFixit didn't detach the digitizer from the housing.
My housing cracked badly, I "fixed" a corner with superglue, but I think it permeated through the digitizer, so there's a strip in the left side (the one with the MENU button) which is insensitive. Another drop and the whole top part fell off and I don't intend to glue this one. Probably I'll buy a new front panel and a new digitizer, but I need to know if I'll be able to attach them at home or if I'll need some adhesive (yuck).
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
Hello all,
The glass cover on my sidekick got broken accidentally. The LCD works fine.
I'm planning to get a replacement front panel glass.
I found the following link on ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tmobile-Sam...ultDomain_0&hash=item2c605f3c7e#ht_2045wt_905
Is this an original OEM part as described? After it's replaced will it work as good as the original?
Any other options other than the above ebay link?
Please help!
Regards,
sammydude
God only knows. It'll probably work though.
Sorry this is late, but the ribbin cable and glass seem to be just like the original. Let us know how it went.

How did you break it? I'm asking only because I know this is a pretty durable phone, I've already dropped it screen first on gravel, without a scratch to show of it.
This looks legit to me. Digitizer is the key word. I've replaced many of these on different phones. As long as it's a ditizer for the correct phone model number. Are you doing this yourself? There should be some good tutorials on disassembly on youtube.

@AFAinHD It was bizarre! My watch was on a chair. My wife threw my watch onto the bed saying "here it is. keep it ". The metal part of the watch fell on the mobile (the bevel part of the glass). You could imagine our shock after that!!

Not planning to do this myself. There's a good servicing person (freelancer) for all kinds of mobiles. Planning to give it to him.
Thank you all for your replies! Planning to go for it. Will let you all know how it went! Just hope I'm able to get it back to its original condition. Hmmm...

Something has been confusing me for a while. When you purchase a digitzer without a housing, how do you attach it to said housing?
I'm planing on buying a white lg digtizer + new housing (as i dented mine after a few nasty drops), but noticed the white ones are only the digitzer, and do not come with any adhesive. Do I just "force it in"
Edit: Damn, Had multiple threads open, will ask to have it moved to Q & A

Found some adhesive. Would this "kit" work?

The digitizer i bought for my brothers galaxy s2 only required me to attach the little ribbons and screw it down. I'm sure it's similar on our phone.

i believe that "kit" would work. i dont see the need for the last item. as the first item comes with adhesive, and the digitizer itself should come with some adhesive in the back of it. atleast they usually do. but you can buy it for self insurance

be careful not to buy the cheap bad adhesive , some bad types doesnt hold the digitizer well enough , falls soon,
i think its better to buy it with the frame attached , much easier to assemble
The problem is no white ones come with attached frames
Have you had a bad experience with adhesive?

Anybody know a us seller that sells the housing? I need one, but don't want to wait a month for it.
Saw it on Ebay, looks really nice, has a kick stand, the s4 and galaxy logo, made with leather, the s-view window, place to hold a credit card, several colors, and able to press home button with cover closed. Check it out and tell me what you think:

Looks great.
Got everything I wanted.
S View
Color - Hot Pink or any shades of Pink that's nice
Just 1 card slot to put my EZ-link card. Something only Singapore have.
I don't need the stand but its good.
And the cover from the side not slick enough.
Pity though, was gonna buy right away but they may not ship to Singapore. Can I see the one at Amazon?
Might just work with a wireless charging back though !

Maybe this one? Tempted but looks like it will be too thick.
http://www.amazon.com/Tridea-Samsun...187&sr=1-17&keywords=samsung+galaxy+s4+s+view
Does the Amazon one carry other colours?
I link that, its almost a perfect solution. I think that Samsung needs to add a home button like this and a whole for the notification LED. But I may just order one.
im allmost buying the tridea, if it wouldnt be for the added thickness. the s4 is so beatiful and tiny... its allmost a shame to put it into a big case.
the official samsung case is equally expensive... thinner, but the window is not scratch free and user complaints that it doesnt close 100%
i never thought it would be this much hazzle finding the perfect cover...

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying the LG G Flex 2, but in my country the grey one is the only one available.
Is is possible to replace the grey battery cover with a volcano red cover?
yes, if you get one ^^
I know that the circle flip cover has the same looking back cover you could try ordering that in red

You can replace it but the bezel would still be gray... In my opinion it would look weird.

Did it arrive? How did it turn out? My concern is that most of these are knockoff backs that don't actually have the self-healing plastic.

is like original, this is exact very very nice finished you only have to swap the infrared button on the new one, and yes it comes with sel healing. AAA quality product.
Is there already a foto of a Silver Flex with a Red Backcover? Im afraid of the silver brezel :/
Actually I think the contrast would look good, in a two tone way.....
What does swap the infrared button mean? Do I have to break anything when removing this from the original? Why can't these people not include that infrared cover piece when they make these covers?
Has anyone posted pics of grey ring with red back? I can't find any in my searches.
