So I have this black dot on my screen and I know it's not a dead pixel, which makes me believe that it is a speck of dust or some other foreign particle caught between the glass and display. And so, my question is whther or not it would be easy to remove the glass so that I can clean this thing up?

If I remember correctly, the screen is permanently fixed to the frontal glass. But I might be wrong.

iFixit has confirmed that the glass is bonded to the display and frame which is bad news for me because all I literally have to do is take it off and wipe the speck off. Thanks for your guys help though. I guess I shall be employing dark themes to mask the problem for now.

the martin fields screen protector i think does have a little cut out that you can put it on the camera lens at the back.

That's true, I bought from them in the past.
But now, I don't put any screen protector in my GNex screen. I am using soft-pouch and my GNex is sexy naked.
However, I am still worried with the lens because GNex battery cover does not protect that like my old HTC Desire.
So, I need protector only for the lens
I highly doubt anyone sells protective stickers just for the lens. You might have to buy a genetic protector and cut it to size yourself.

Hi all,
I have the following concern - am I used to plastic screen protectors, which in most cases reduce the screen quality. I want to try glass but I think that it is possible that the tempered glass screen protector can actually scratch the screen under certain contitions, as most of them are really hard (for example a lot of pressure or chipping of the protector). Any thoughts on the subject? Has anyone experienced scratches from a glass protector under normal use?

I never have. The ones made from SGP will break in a certain way to cause no harm to you nor the phone. I have no clue about the other screen protectors

Theres a thread on the Glasszone. Hypertek is the only person who has received it so far so you should ask him. I should be receiving my yellow glass zone sometime this week so ill post updates on his thread.
Hello people, I got this phone for like a week now. And i just wanna ask and confirm if the screen in front is Gorilla Glass or no?
Some say Yes, but i've read it somewhere that its not? Anyone know?
It is Gorilla Glass 2. Idk about the back even though it is supposed to be gorilla glass as well.

Front And Back is gorrilla glass 2 according To Sprint documentation
Oh i see. Thanks for the reply, i just noticed hair thin line like some kind of scratch that's why Im curious bout that. . Just a few mm though. Thanks again people.
Yeah, gorilla glass can still scratch. They have a video somewhere explaining the differences between their glass and others. The main difference is the scratches remain smaller/thinner and don't gouge as deep, often times to where you don't even notice them. They are there though!

Anyone know of a legit place to get a replacement front glass for gnex. My digitizer is fine so I don't need that. I've never done this before, just looking for someone to point me in the right direction.

can you post the pics of the phone
$17.90 for front glass, not bad. I have a surface scratch on mine that has been bugging me, might be cheap enough to be worth the trouble. Has anybody had any experience ordering from that website? Is there any instructions included on how to replace the items or is that something that you just have to find on your own?

Any luck with this? Looking to do the same with my i515 gnex, does anyone happen to know if the glass cutouts for the two versions are the same?
From what I read, its strongly recommend to replace the whole unit(screen, digitizer, and glass) because its a huge pain to get glass off if you are lucky enough to do so.

I know its tricky, but i've done it before(heat is my friend). Once you do it once it actually isn't bad especially because the nexus has the slight lip around the screen which helps you big time with positioning the glass. I'm just confused if the two glass cutouts are the same or not.
So I still have broken glass that is finally starting to fall out whilst the cracks have gotten larger, no thanks to my two year old who loves to throw toys.
Has anyone seen the glass replacement, not the digitizer, last long term?
I'm trying to hold out until October but concerned that I'm going to lose the screen entirely soon.

My phone has EXACTLY the same crack pattern!! And I know how bad it feels.
Is this some design issue with the GNex stress points?
I asked the Samsung Care Center and they asked around $185 for the replacement (glass and digitizer)
That is more than half of the phone cost. :crying:
(Edit: They said as the front glass, the digitizer and the lcd are glued together, it is impossible to get a seperate glass replacement)
Luckily I had a screen guard on so the glass pieces are not falling apart yet.
You can get the glass and ask a trustworthy maintenance guy for helping replace it.
I haven't tried yet. But might try soon. :fingers-crossed:
Can someone tell me the link of the adhesive that you have bought on eBay or amazon??

Here is what I have been using for replacing the glass on the S3.

How would I go about finding out what's cracked on my phone? If I'm correct there's a digitizer, touch screen and the glass.
The top is cracked, but how would I go about finding out if the pieces under are cracked without opening the phone?
Just want to double check before buying anything.

If the screen still responds to touch and there aren't any dead pixels, then its just the glass itself. Basically if everything looks and works as it should, then the only thing damaged (in your case) is the glass.

You'd be better off buying the digitizer and LCD pre-fused together to save you the effort of trying to get them apart with a heat gun
