Has anyone had to replace the front bezel? If so do you have any recommendations on where I should purchase? Also, is it pretty easy to do or should I take it to a repair store to fix?

Nah, the white one is what Im using right now. There is one on ebay though. Search for sph-d710 housing.

The side where? On the screen, the front bezel, the battery cover?? If its on the case of the phone somewhere i suppose you could find replacement parts online and swap all the internals if you were so inclined. If the screen itself is scratched, other than some hair brained schemes like blow torches and sand paper i would say you are stuck with the scratch. The good news is a decent screen protector film should disguise anything other than a major disfiguring.

Seriously? I'm about 99.999999% sure scratching the phone is not covered by any sort of warranty, not only is this terribly unhelpful it is unbelievably preposterous.

I worked at Best Buy. If you are within 30 days they will probably take it back. Also, Black Tie is a protection plan that covers everything but lost and stolen. I will be sure not to help out in this thread any more though.

I apologize if i came off as being forward, but 'just take it back' is pretty lame advice for user error, regardless if it is possible or not.

I had people bring back phones that had water damage. Half our managers would say take it back and the other half would think about it and then may or may not do it. If he just got it yesterday he could reason that it was too easy to scratch since it is supposed to have gorilla glass. I've returned more with less reason because the customer was nice.

I stated that I wasn't going to help because my advice was disliked. But, if it was my store I'd give you some Crap then help you out if you were nice and reasonable. You could also get the protection plan. I'd be tons more likely to help you if you had that.

You don't really have to do either one, but if you are trying to swap it in store I would, and you have to have a reason other than the scratch. If you are using GSBTP you need to break something on it so they'll send it off. If you use GSBTP you don't need to unroot because that doesn't matter.

Find a less clumsy friend.
Clumsy people can be a pain
would it be bad if you just swap it out saying you actually want the blue one but buy the screen protector to hide the scratch, and then a couple days later just go back and switch to a new white one saying you actually preferred the white one to the blue one?
Get Ghost Armor installed on it. It will fill in the scratch and protect it from now on.

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:

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

I would like to get my glass replaced. Sprint seems to be very picky on replacing glass or screens. I'm looking for a guarantee way to get new glass threw sprint. Yes I do have the insurance. Thanks in advance.

If the crack is too big they won't do anything. File a claim.

This,
Use to replace them free with insurance. My og Evo got shattered 6 months after I got it when I fell through an attic and I landed on it. They replaced the screen for free. Now it has to be a crack less than 2" I think.

Is there a flimsy film on the camera lens that needs to be peeled off like on the S4? I can't quite tell and don't want to mess up the camera, but it looks that way...

Yea... How can't you tell though? Are you asking cause you want to know if you are to buy one or you own one? Its pretty obvious. You aren't going to mess up the camera either way.

That could be it. I always tell them not to. I don't like waiting long and I love the feeling of "unwrapping" a new phone lol
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app
I honestly still can't tell if there is a film on it still. The rep did take off all the plastic. The lens glass feels smooth when I run my finger over it so it looks like there is just a ring that is not plastic. When I got my s4 I didn't realize it had a plastic cover on the camera for a few days. Loving this phone coming from the s4 except not sure the camera is as good overall.
I doubt there is still a protector on it if you haven't found it yet.
Such is life
