[Q]Shattered Screen!

Today was a sad day. I dropped my GNex when taking it out my pocket to get in my vehicle. It dropped faced down from waist height and landed on some rocks/concrete. It took a chip out the glass and shattered in a few places.
Everything still works which is pretty good I guess no problem with the touch screen
I was crushed when I picket it up and fist saw it. I have a silicon case on it and no screen protector.
I hate cases and screen protectors but if I can get this fixed I will probably use both.
My questions is what's my best options here. My brother got me the phone from UK I use it on TMobileUSA. Basically I have no warranty here and wondered if there is someone in the USA that replaces screens or can send me one to do if not majorly complicated.
My brother said Carphone Warehouse will fix it ~£100 but they send it out. Seeing I use my phone alot for work was hoping to be without for minimal amount of time.
Any ideas? thanks

Send it to Samsung. I've read they will replace screens for $160 or so with a two week turn around.

Yup, you will need phone tools too.. Also found online: Amazon, ebay, etc..
Then just search for a "tear down" and follow the instructions.

I had my Galaxy S2 display broken. Took it to a repair center and saw how easily they put in a completely new front! I don't know if it is just as easy with a Nexus, (and offcourse here only replacing the screen applies as the back is made of one piece of plastic) but it might be worth to look?
You can find a display on ebay by searching for: galaxy nexus front display
I know it is expensive, but shopping a bit around the internet might help?
Advantage of doing it yourself is obviously that you don't have to send your phone away and being phoneless

I ended up sending the phone to my brother back in England. Carphone Warehouse fixed it for ~£79.
But I was too impatient and just ordered a new phone before I sent it off. I now have a screen protector and case
Sucks to break the screen as it can break so easily and there is no easy way to get it fixed in the US with the GSM version bought overseas.

Inside of the Samsung Galaxy Dart (T499) and screen replacement.

I have decided to share my experience in replacing a broken LCD on the Samsung Dart with you guys.
I noticed that the Galaxy Mini has its own section, but the T-mobile variant, the Dart, does not. So I am posting this in the general section and assume that the moderators will move it if the need arises.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY OF THIS INFORMATION. I AM NOT ADVOCATING OR RECOMMENDING ANYTHING. THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. DON NOT CRY TO ME IF YOU BREAK YOUR PHONE.​

This is a basic diagram of the Samsung Galaxy Dart. I did not plan to post this until I saw both the lack of information regarding the Dart, and the need for this information.
The Dart is held together by four main screws that can be see when the back cover is removed and a series of interlocking plastic clips.
Once the screws are unscrewed, a thick guitar pic can be used to seberate the rest of the body.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE ELECTRONICS WHILE SEPARATING THE CASE.
WARNING: DO NOT SEPERATE THE LCD FROM THE DIGITIZER UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
IT IS BEST TO BUY A FRONT FRAME SCREEN AND DIGITIZER COMBO IF YOUR UNSURE OF YOUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY REASSEMBLE THE COMBONATION AND ACTUALLY GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY.​
The LCD and digitizer frame are glued together.
ONCE AGAIN IF DOING A SCREEN REPLACEMENT IT IS BEST TO BUY THE COMBINATION RATHER THAN SEPERATE THEM.​
MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE VOLUME UP / DOWN AND SLEEP BUTTONS IN THE FRAME BEFORE REASSEMBLY.​
I am hoping that this cold be of help in the repair, and modifications of the Galaxy Dart.

Nothing I got the parts for free from an acquaintance.
You can generally purchase such parts very cheaply from www.dhgate.com, www.aliexpress.com, and www.alibaba.com. Even www.ebay.com would be a great source.
Purchasing a non working phone with a good screen would also be an option.

do you think that anyone can do it? How detail oriented in comparison to the iPhone screen replacement?

It was very easy for me. I can't say it is any harder or easier to the iPhone in my opinion.

I saw this too .. but i Dont think this is the same case

Definitely not the same one as the Clove one says
Clips to the back of the Note 10.1 and replaces back cover
Sounds like it is similar to the one that Samsung sell for the S3
I didn't know that the back cover came off the N10.1 though

It's the same case and it does clip on to the back of the Note if you look again at the picture.
The white version's U.S. model number is EFC-1G2NWECXAR and Expanys who's using the same picture as Clove shows the blue model number as EFC-1G2NB. The difference seems to be that you can get blue and brown internationally and white and gray in the U.S.

The picture on the clove website is of the note phone, not the note 10.1 There are no speakers on the sides and it says samsung in the wrong spot.

Back cover door replacement for sprint note 2

I see few of them on Ebay and I am interested in the metal back cover rather than going the case route, but I wanted to know if the back cover on sprint is compatible with nothing on the back of it(nfsc etc etc) if someone can post a picture of both sides of the back cover that would be greatly appreciated

There are no contacts for NFC. You may be able to pry off the contact on the OEM back or get another one and do that. But NFC and metal don't play well together usually. May work, may not.

But you can get this, it has nfc. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009NIRX14/ref=pe_152840_26435120_pe_vfe_dt1 Ive used these batteries before on my gs3 and they were really good.

On Note II NFC is NOT part of the battery but is a part of the back cover. That little black plate with two contacts on its side... there's NFC under it.
Whether our Note II has a way how to route NFC signal from the battery I consider highly unlikely.

Hmm, didnt think about that, just thought they would work like the gs3.

What is Version 2?

While trying to sort thru IQ Sheild screen protectors and the lack of information regarding "Case Friendly", "EZ Install" and "Updated" and what doesn't appear on the boxes I now see on their website a "Version 2". At first I thought they were referring to the version of the protector but noticed the Note 7 pictured is different. It appears to have 2 additional lens just to the left of the speaker. I then saw the same phone on the Skinomi website, also called a Version 2.
http://www.skinomi.com/sk25906-samsung-galaxy-note-7-edge-phone-screen-protector.html
Anyone have a clue what this is about?

looks like a fake Note7

That's funny!

Looks like a 3D Camera if you ask me. I'll buy the Note 7.2 NOW then, where do I get mine?
Is this a CON, troll? 'ay?

Clearly Version 2 is either refurbished Note 7 with no battery defect or a brand new Note 7 with 6GB ram.

What does it say about these two companies (IQ Shield and Skinomi) advertising bogus devices?

Maybe its a cheap knock off of the Note and they made a screen protector for it cause its popular in some markets?

But they should say so. Don't call it a Version 2 of the genuine product. Very shady.

Costco states right now they are selling (version 2)... and i also ask what is version 2, that how i found this site. I dont believe Costco is scamming people.

the phone in the photo is a fake note 7, period.
look for " note 7 clone" in you tube, ther you will see, by the way, there is no 6GB ram version as rumored, v2 refers unnoficially to the safe note 7

Does it look like this? Or is just a case of a seller renaming a product?
