I have an international Galaxy Nexus that has a green strip on the screen that wont go away. I cant get it fixed through samsung us and im not sure about having my phone repaired over seas. Is there any alternative to fixing my Nexus?

You can try to see if independent repair shops in your town/city will take a look at it.
did you buy it in the US and then travelled ? why can you not take it back to place of purchase
well I got it as a late b-day present from a friend the only problem is I cant get it fixed by samsung US and Amazon wont take it back. I was gonna buy a screen from here http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Nexus-GT-I9250-LCD-Assembly-with-Housing-p/smsng6111655.htm the only problem is they dont sell to the general public.
Also here in vegas there are tons of ass holes who you cant trust with something like that lol. is there any reputable place online?
There are a few threads around the accessories forum that have eBay links to purchase replacement housing

moved onto the sgs2 and just got my desire back today after being fixed for rebooting bug by htc
not keen on ebay really
Personally, I've had no issues selling on eBay but otherwise you could try the recycling places and see what they give you
Think recycling places are like £150 ish. Pretty sure you can more than that on Ebay. Just sell it to someone in the UK if your that paranoid and just wait for your money to come through before you send it
£134 is the best you will do for recycling - there is someone offering £154.50 but they are being investigated by trading standards after numerous complaints. (see http://www.compareandrecycle.co.uk/forum/forums/122-Fone-Craze)
thanks guys
may have to ebay it then
someone in work may take it off my hands
Hey
do anybody know where we can buy spare parts for the galaxy nexus like speakers, battery and most important screen/display
My screen broke! I checked with local phone repair stores in St. Louis and they say that parts for the Galaxy Nexus aren't in the system yet.
try mobilehq I got a charger flex for my gs2 from them and fixed my phone. I checked there site they don't have any galaxy nexus parts but if you email them I'm sure they will try source it for you. I can't recommend them more highly the guy I was talking to Brendan was so help full and polite and it was so cheap, saved me 300 bucks.
Shoot them an email and request for the part.

cnn.cn, bought some stuff there years ago, good quality.
And good'ol ebay.
I cracked my international version galaxy nexus awhile ago and in need of help to buy a new replacement. All of them I've seen so far are really pricy! And not much better, local shops are charging me a fortune when I could easily do it myself.
What i found was a company that takes broken screens and refurbishes them. On global parts direct, you need to be a licensed repair shop to order anything. Seeing as how they are a refurbishment company, costs should be drastically lower.
I just asked for a quote and will report back to see if anyone else would want in on this. I believe If you buy in larger quantities, it will turn out cheaper.
Can anyone with a license code order some?

If you buy the screen yourself, it's going to be really costly. The screen costs about 200$ or so. I recently heard that Samsung officially will replace your screen for 160$. It's better for you to go to the service center.

I have the international version from France so I'll have to ship it there. Turn around is 3-4 weeks. They won't cover shipping either .

Hi all i think ive bought a duff note 2 my phone has 5gb internal memory,null imei,factory test mode is showing twice on start up,power button when pushed turns off the phone without any options,no imei sticker so all i can find is the serial number using root explorer... i opened up the phone and its missing the flexi cable antenna and has no where for the antenna flex cable to fit on to.. any ideas does anyone know how much a new motherboard would cost and where in the uk i can get one.. also if take this to a samsung repair centre how would i stand
anyone??
Where did you buy it from - give us a link.
And why don't you just return it?
Seriously I think you bought a fake Note (2). There are TONS of MADE IN CHINA copycat phones sold here in HK (most likely online and eBay listings). The exterior looks 95% exact as original Samsungs but when you turn it on, you can tell immediately with the low resolution of the display and the awful looking UI. They should be banning them for being sold....just like those fake LV/Gucci stuff. What a shame.
its deff a genuine note 2 the resolution on the screen is spot on and i can even flash firmwares,roms,root etc i was wondering if i have a prototype note 2 that was used for testing also i got the phone from ebay uk
why don't you just return it?
The person i got it from who was selling it on ebay doesn`t want to know.. this is a pic of the mainboard
pic 2
anymore info about my phone
Call Samsung and offer them their prototype back in exchange for a final release one.
Beamed from Jupiter on my Galaxy Note II
Theres someone else on ebay with the same phone as mine with 5gb internal memory and they are calling it a test model but when i phoned samsung they said they didn`t make test phones for the n7100 confused.com
You need to raise a claim with PayPal/eBay.... But first thing the seller will say is that you have opened the phone and any warranty with them is void

Did the seller say there was a problem with it?
If not it's not as described and you should raise it with eBay.
How much did you pay for the device?
it was for sale on ebay uk but like a idiot to save on postage i met up half way and swapped my new s3 for it so nothing ebay can do about it. did send the person who had it a message via ebay but he`s not interested..

Sorry for you. I think you have learned an expensive lesson.
once bitten twice shy as they say.. if i could get hold of a logicboard for my n7100 i`d have a perfectly working phone but can`t find one anywhere :crying:
Anyone know where to fix a cracked nexus 7 screen and digitizer?
The device just came out. Good luck

Since you're in the N7 2013 area, you must have the new one, so the answer for now is Google or ASUS depending on where you bought it.
I haven't seen any listed anywhere yet.
If you have the 'old' N7, you're posting in the wrong area, but eBay should have the parts for DIY, otherwise the first sentence is still the answer.
Like calling either Google or Asus?

Asus
I talked to Asus and they told me to ship my product to them to see what they can do. Wish me luck.
If you bought it from the PlayStore, you'd want to deal with them.
Anywhere else is ASUS, unless, as I always advise, you'd purchased a 3rd party drop and spill warranty (like Square Trade).
For the $60 spent on the warranty, you'd have 2 years of coverage..... Much less than a non-covered broken screen....
Good luck.. :thumbup:
If you bought it with an American Express card, you'd be covered. They have 90 day coverage for theft and accidental damage on items you purchase up to $1,000(I think). You also get an extra year of warranty, and can return any item up to 90 days from the purchase date.
