Okay, so, after spending a bit too much time browsing this here forum I got the ridiculously terrible idea to paint my phone. Yeah, while it may have worked out for some of you, I guess I don't have the skills with a spray can as of yet, and my 600 dollar phone was a very bad place to try to learn. Anyhow, I really messed it up, and while everything still works, I would like to have my phone's sleek beauty returned as opposed to this sticky, peeling mess. So order a new housing, right? WRONG. Apparently the sprint housing literally doesn't exist online anywhere whatsoever. Yep. I've spent hours scouring the depths of the interwebs to absolutely no avail. I'm fairly sure the Verizon housing won't, in fact, work, due to the sim card slot it possesses that mine lacks. When I Google "sprint galaxy nexus replacement housing", it literally ****ing gives me links to chargers for sale. Which on its own is rather mind boggling. Anyways, what I'm hoping is that someone here happens to know where I can get my hands on a sprint gnex housing, or has one to sell. This phone is completely 100% functional, and I'd really rather not shell out 150 bucks to assurion to make it look pretty again. So, fellow nexus lovers, please hear my cries of desolation and offer some sort of advice. I miss how sexy this thing used to be... I'm never going to stop kicking myself for painting it. Anyways, hopefully some part of this wall of text made sense, because I am thoroughly desperate. Thanks.

You could try cleaning off the paint with acetone or paint thinner, tho im not sure what it will do to the finish on the nexus but it should remove some of it. other option is to sand it down gently and remove the paint the repaint. as far as the nexus housing it isnt available yet you could try finidng one online with a broken screen. otherwise at this time you may be SOL

Okay, thanks for your help, guys. Btw, I was exaggerating quite a bit when I said sticky and peeling. I put a clear coat on it after the paint dried, so everything is staying like it is, both fortunately and unfortunately.

Mostly, I'd just like to replace the middle housing because I screwed up the volume button/ the battery door doesn't sit nearly as nice as it used to. However, its completely functional otherwise, which is why it seems stupid to pay a significant amount of money for a whole new phone when all it needs to be good as new is a 10 dollar part. It seems odd to me that the GSM/Verizon housings are seemingly limitless, whereas the sprint one is nowhere to be found (without an accompanying LCD, lol).

Just strip the paint for the time being. Looks to me like you didn't sand quite good enough and didn't use an adhesion promoter and the pain didn't cure correctly.
not to troll or anything, but I kind of like the design it created. Personally I'd clear coat it and use it, makes for a unique pattern. or maybe use a thin layer of black over top and wet sand it down so the patterned lines come through as red.
Actually, I was planning on keeping this back cover, most likely big just need to somehow repair my volume button.

just man up, don't use toooooo much solution and pat dry...
make sure you take out the battery and DON"T put it back in after as the phone will reboot.
just install and wait over night with cool air blowing over it.

Does it go right to the edges of the screen?
I got one ordered this weekend hopefully arriving soon.
How difficult was the application? I'm not too keen on wet application (Zagg, ugh) but is it pretty much drench, lay it on the screen and shift to center ASAP? Past experience with Zaggs, I've usually had to lay it perfectly on the first try since I wouldn't be able to shift it around afterwards.
FYI, "byublue", as mentioned earlier, takes $3 off, which is slightly better than 20%.

I'm assuming all wet applications should be the same, which means that your experience with zagg will be similar with xo.
You wouldn't be able to shift it around after its applied. However, you can peel it upwards, apply some more liquid, then place it back down
Did that with my skinomi, had no problem with it, should work with all wet screen protectors
Got mine today and applied it tonight. It was my first wet application, and it was WAY easier than the (dry-apply) SGP Crystal I had on my Dinc.
It goes very close to the edge of the screen.
No orange peel
No rainbow effect
As I said before... highly recommended

Not at all its slick
So I've never done a wet install. Basically I get as much of the liquid out as possible and then wait overnight for it to settle?
I don't think people realize that, sure even though your device isn't damaged from the liquid solution that may or may have leaked into the phone. BUT it probably set off the water damage sticker inside voiding your warranty.
That's the biggest fear for most people including myself.

Hey guys, I was browsing through some threads and stumbled upon this curious contraption called Flygrip. It's like a brace that you slip your finger through that you put on the back of the phone. It improves more stability and allows easier access to the screen because you don't have to fully grip the phone. This is probably useful especially with the Nexus because it has a rather large screen.
Anyone have any experience on this? I'm thinking of buying one and trying it out because it looks really handy.

I dunno. I think it would make it more awkward with one hand and 2 handed isn't needed.
I like the direction their going though. Creative thinking.
Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.3 CM9
Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver
A creative product, but ultimately more hassle than it's worth. A phone case will protect it from falls; this product reduces the likelihood of drops but does nothing for you if you do.
And you have to remember to carry around your phone and this Flygrip. And you'll constantly be answering the question, "what's that?"
maybe everyone has small hands but i dont seem to have a problem only using 1 hand

What if you stick it on to your phone case?
I guess you could, but that seems cumbersome... You'd have a bulge in your pocket for sure, and then you'd be dealing with a whole new set of questions...
I wish there was a vote up button.. I just thank people that I think are witty
In terms of the product.. I do agree it would bring a slew of questions and I'm not sure how much help it would actually be.. guess I should try it before I say anything negative though.
A perfect example of a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
Can't wait for the follow up product that allows you to strap a phone to your face so you don't miss that important message.

Actually, I think this is pretty cool. While it certainly isn't necessary, it looks actually pretty useful. I just ordered one for myself. I have smaller hands and the gNex has been a bit of a challenge lately since I can't text or browse one handed anymore. It comes with a free case (they're getting a batch of gNex cases in next week) so I'm going to attach it to the case or maybe just put it on one of the other cases I ordered. Oh and if you wan't free shipping, use the code "IDIOT".
I can't tell if your post was one long setup to a snarky punchline, or if "idiot" is an actual discount code.

lol, sorry for sounding snarky. I totally didn't mean it to come out that way although that's definitely how it reads. "IDIOT" actually is the discount code. I found it by googling it (http://sideshownetwork.tv/category/shows/iotw).
I really did order this so as silly as it may appear to be, I don't mind being a guinea pig. I'll post my thoughts on it and the gnex case when it arrives hopefully next week sometime.
it does look interesting, altho useless.
apple brand it, and they've got themselves a winner.
I just wanted to bump this thread. I just put in an order for one after being on the fence for a while and will let you guys know how it is!

That review kinda pushed me over the edge and with that "IDIOT" code (it gave me option to choose Next-Day shipping...for free), I was down to check it out.
Looks ghetto as hell but seems pretty functional since I always have problems reaching around the screen with one hand. I wouldn't mind getting one to try but getting it internationally shipped would probably add even more to the already steep price...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
You had me interested until I saw the price. $30 is way too much for what it does.
i picked one up out of curiosity... i like it. it's nice to be able to reach everywhere with your thumb and not have to reposition or oddly balance your phone. gimmicky ? yeah, kinda. will it become a must have on my phone ? i dunno, still getting use to the feel and i need to adjust the position of it a bit. there isn't a way to temporarily fit it in order to know exactly where you need to mount it so it's kinda trial and error for what's most comfortable. i ordered a couple spare mounting pads so i can dial it in then see how i like it.
they should cut down on the bells and whistles packaging and sell it for 8 bucks, that's what i see the retail value of something like this. i think they'd easily sell 5x the amount for 1/3 the price.

Be prepared to hate me. It took quite a bit of modification and I do not recommend anyone to do it because its a pain in the ass and its better just to wait for the real Verizon housing to come out. I used to GSM white housing and modified it to fit, for the most part at least.
I also had to use a ****ty webcam because that's all I had to work with that can take pictures in my apartment. You can see that I was trying to hide behind the phone.

Yes, what was once a nice looking piece of plastic is now a mangled mess on the inside. But of course the battery door covers it all up. If this thing gets in water there is no saving it. I had to do a LOT of cutting and shaving and grinding.

There is a new product on the market, sold at Home Depot, called NeverWet that promises to make everything waterproof. Check out the video and towards the end they waterproof an iPhone. This looks like some pretty amazing stuff!

Looks awesome. Just don't know if I'm willing to try it on my $800 Note II. Luckily I have a old E4GT that I don't care about. And its in stock and & only $20 at my local Home Depot. Will post back with my results.

Just got this amazing stuff today! Tried it with shirt first, its drying right now. I'm going to try my shirt first then my shoes and then a couple of old cellphones before my G2x and finally if i see enough i will attempt the Galaxy S4. This is soo much cheaper than liquipel.
Looks like some crazy stuff. I saw their video on the Chive a week or two ago.

I just tried this on my LG G2x and i can confirm it work. I dod not submerge my phone in water, i just splashed the circuit board with some water. You have to completly coat the parts you dont want water to get to. Best way is to create a seal so that water wont get to parts where you dont want water to get to and cat neverwet it.
I can confirm that NeverWet does NOT conduct electricity. I sprayed the battery contacts and i had to scratch the NeverWet off with a knife. My phone would not turn on with the NeverWet coating on the battery contacts.
The thing I want the most from next generation of phones is for them to just be tougher. I want them water proof (liquipel pretreated) , shatterproof (flexible displays) , and power strong (next gen lithium ion batteries).
This definitely looks awesome. I think I am going to test it on my back cover of my note 2. To make sure it doesn't affect the paint or anything. I can always get another back. Can't wait to try it. May post a review on here or probably a video. I will also try it on my seidio surface case. Too bad can't do it in the screen or front of phone. Probably no point in doing it to the back in that case. I guess we'll see

I tried putting it on my seidio active case and it dried frosted looking and almost white in some spots and it wore off in about 5 minutes, from taking it in and out of my pocket. I would definitely not try it on my phone it might work a little while but I wouldnt trust it. I would only buy it to mess around with it has almost no real practical use cause it rubs off so easy.
I have an old EVO 4G I could try it on. Will report back.
For all those times I talk underwater or in rain storms...oh wait
Never dropped my note and always on a case... so I clean it off today and I notice that hair line crack by the s pen slot.. anyone get this?
As much as I love the note this has happen to my GS3 as well.. looks like oppo find 7 here I come.. note 4 better have better qaulity build. .

Could be a stress fracture. If you ever carry your phone in your jeans pocket and sit down, it could have stressed the bezel enough to crack.

Yeah that could be.. sucks still.. I hope the n4 is not like the GS5.. kind of want to stay away from plastic samsung but I love the note.. looks like they didnt beef up that spot.. I took the back cover out and I can see its a thin part...
Anoyone know if this can be replaced? As in just that bezel part? Im assuming its built in part of the screen.. going to check out youtube disassemble

It's part of the chassis, you'd have to literally remove every single part from the phone, including the screen/glass, to replace it.

The display/front glass assembly is glued to the chassis so if you try to remove it, you'll likely break it, or at the very least get tons of dust under the screen. Sucks, but you just gotta live with it.

Yeah I ordered a main frame... as for the screen its sealed in so no dust will be going under that as im not replacing the screen part.. replacing most of the part is easy just the screen part will have to take it easy.. I have the tools to do it.. I have taken phone my iphone apart so I have no fear lol
I would call TMo about it, there is no obvious sign of abuse, looks like a manufacturing defect to me. Whats the worse they can say?

Idk about that as I bought it full price no contract on tmo and using it on ATT network, but I will Be going back to t mobile this year. .
Yeah, but you did buy it from T-Mobile regardless of payment or where it's used. Call them. Again, worst they can say is no, but maybe they say yes.....
I have one on mine, same spot

There was a thread just like this one and a few people had the same crack and said it was never dropped. It looks like it may be a stress point and just a weak point.

I do. I use one of the strongest cases which are the UAG's. Ive only dropped the phone once without a case by falling off the bed onto a tile floor. No noticeable damage to the phone aesthetics other than the line near the spen. But I don't think that little fall caused this.

Doesn't bother me. When I first saw it I thought it was apart of the phone. But I will however trade my note 3 because my proximity sensor has been broken for a month now ?

Wish I saw this post yesterday when I went into my rant about build quality...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51464665
What I didn't mention is this happened in a t-mobile store as I was trying this case on during my lunch break. Went back to store and they said there is nothing they can do, even with the manager there I pleaded. So a hairline crack will not be taken care of unless you feel like paying your $175 deductible or whatever it is.
Samsung can't care less, and left another angry voice mail with incipio.

Not buying another Samsung until build quality improves
