I know there are forums out there that talks about painting the Nexus Housing, but I want instructions that shows that the paint won't rub off, chip, and crack.
Have anyone found instructions that has flawless results that last if done right???
Doubt you'll find such a guarantee as nothing lasts for ever.....

True. But I didn't say forever. I said that last.
And by last I mean at least a year. Ice only dropped the phone once between my 7 months. So I'm pretty confident I won't drop it again.

Mask properly.
Sand liberally, but not abusively.
Primer optional.
Paint lightly to prevent running.
Multiple layers. Let set in between.
Allow plenty of time to dry.
Use a dust free environment. I recommend rigging a couple CPU fans near it pointing away.

You can also use a paint that has the primer built in but again it is optional. Its not like your painting an orange wall white . Anyways I did I used rustoleum also the key is to LET IT DRY between applications. And do not do multiple applications because it will take forever to dry and u do not have forever as u need ur phone. Beside u only need 4 to 5 light coats. Distribute evenly good luck

So you've painted ur phone??? How is it holding up??? And how long have it been???
My dad keeps saying I'm gonna fu×k up and that it will chip no matter what and I'm like, "challenge accepted.:sly:"
A chip is a chip.. but how bad it looks after the chip will depend on how thick the paint is. Considering the material you're painting, I would go with a paint specific for plastics. Try a hobby store that has a good model car section.

But to be perfectly honest, if you're asking us for painting advice then you probably aren't pro. That means there's a good chance your dad is right. My advice is don't do it. But if you do, mask the **** out of it.

Don't listen to him (your dad) and so far no chips and everything looks good its been about 3 weeks also. Anyways be careful when taking volume and power rockers off they are easy tho and for the gold pogo pins there is a black bar that goes over them work on each end and pry the bar up it will have a hole on each end. Then when the black bar is off u will see three individual pogo pins u have to stick something against them from outside (like pushing them inward) then they will fallout out. Tape off everything that is important. And remember this will prolly void your warranty so u should grab an extra grey housing and battery cover (if u decide to paint that). I personally am getting the white housing and white battery door I get bored quick

Alright. Thanks for that.
I have a dumb question, how come the paint doesn't chip of a car easily if you paint a fiber glass part.
My dad has a bumper and it came white and got it painted black and not a single chip.

Vinyl dye bonds directly to plastic, dries in minutes, and won't chip or scratch away. Just 2-3 light coats is all you need for good coverage. The only limitation is that you don't have much choice in the color or finishes.

Unfortunately i dropped my.nexus and now theres a nasty scratch on the screen that drives me.crazy.
Ive been looking on ebay and found this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Front...101?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item460528e5ed but reading about the g nexus it says the glass and the digitalizer are fused so why is the glass sold by separate?
im going to assume that it would be extremly difficult to put it back together but if your good with that kind of stuff go for it but i wouldnt

Is there a way to polish it? Id like to know what product would be good to use to take it off
I wouldn't do it
The glass and digitizer are fuzed but you can seperate them with a heat gun. Its not really a DIY thing for your average person though.
The heatgun method should work for you, but like the post above me stated, it's a bit more difficult for the average DIYer. I used this method on my Asus Transformer attempting to get the glass off and ended up cracking the digitizer a little bit. If you take your time and you are very careful with it, it can be done.
One suggestion for you when you are heating the phone, it'll be hot to the touch so keep some gloves handy. Also when attempting to remove the glass, get yourself some industrial grade suction cups and stick those to the screen to yank it off.
I didnt think it woukd be that difficult. I think ill live with it and use a screen.protector. the whole assembly.is.really ezpensive and not.worth the scratch

If I may make a recommendation: Do you live in an area where people advertise to repair Smartphone and other device screens? You may be able to find someone on Craigslist who can perform the repair for you.
You should buy some of that dynaflow liquid armor and see if you can fill in the scratch with it. It might not work but it could be worth it to try.

Indeed. XO Skins claim their screen protectors fill in 95% of existing scratches; granted, your scratch might be in the really bad 5% that it can't completely fill in, but it's definitely worth a shot. Last I checked, the cheapest you can replace the screen for is about $163 through the Samsung repair center, but that's only if you're in the US. All the DIY screen replacement kits I could find were over $200 and none of the local shops would do it for the galaxy nexus.
Pretty much all you need in the title. I wanted to know how to do this mainly because it's cheaper then buying a lCD digitizer combo and because I can't find a guide anywhere else. Any tips and tricks on how to do this should be well appreciated and any guides. Thanks in andVance for anyone's help.

I also have a cracked the screen, What my search result has come up with is the cost to replace the screen is ~$200CDN. Can you please keep me posted on what path you would be taking, might just follow
Replacing the glass from the actual screen is very hard and would require tons of technical know-how because the two are fused together.
Not recommended, even by experts.
Well I know it's extremely hard but I'm mainly looking for advise about it is all it decently help people out here.

I've heard its possible, just EXTREMELY difficult to manage.. I wouldn't.
Its entirely possible, as the multiple video's have shown. Although i haven't done it to the SGS3 yet, i will be soon. Cracked my lens the other day, replacement in the mail. I have also changed the screen's on several iphones (at my job) which us a similar method of gluing. It is made to be difficult by design...to keep people from attempting it and opting to send it in for repair. Of course when you do this, through samsung anyways, you are being charged for the entire led assembly and not just the lens.

Good to hear you did it at your job with iphones. Any idea what glue they use to bond the glass to the digitizer? I have searched and searched and cannot find anything. I have done several S3 so far and this is the one ingredient lacking for a complete repair. In terms of what it feels like while removing the old glue; it seems to be silicone based the way it comes up, you can roll it into little balls, it's is tacky and has that rubbery consistency.
Unfortunately, no idea what adhesive they use. Personally i would attempt what YellowGTO did first and simply heat the existing glue and see how it holds. Normally this should be enough to do the job, as you can imagine the stuff if pretty tacky. Especially if the lens fits as tightly as his in the video, its doubtful it will fall out even with the slightest remaining glue. If for whatever reason there isn't enough to firmly hold the screen in place i've used small dabs of liquid tape where necessary, or the thin 3M double sided tape would work also i suppose. In this case i usually wrap the device in a towel or shirt or whatever you have laying around and set something with some decent weight on top of it, screen side down on a flat surface, overnight to give the adhesive time to setup properly.

Sure the outer frame is enough in most cases to hold it on, thats fine. But there is a side effect once all the glue is removed off the digitizer. There will a micro gap between the 2 when the original glue is removed. If you press the new glass hard enough, ( for example cleaning fingerprints like I often do against my shirt ) and it touches the digitizer, the phone freezes. You must then power off the screen, sleep button and then press power again to bring it up and then it will work again. Seems to be a recalibration process going on.
Maybe these 2 posts should be merged and I would certainly read the post below. Much more good info here on the subject...

Yea, i've been following several threads about lens replacement, even before i busted mine (jinxed myself?). I'd much rather have to deal with a 15 second reboot over possibly damaging the LED or worse using an adhesive that may not be transparent. I can live with the air gap, or even the 'invisible' smudges on my personal device...although if i were going to do this for profit obviously that would be unacceptable. 20 dollars and an hour of my time vs 200+ for the whole assembly or 125 for an insurance deductable..i can overlook imprefections . It would be interesting to find out exactly what substance they are using though.
EDIT - Just for SnG's i googled 'mobile screen glue' and this was the first result. http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/523467689/Optical_Clear_Adhesive_for_touch_screen.html?s=p
While i'm sure its not the only product out there for this purpose, if this is any indication it won't come cheap..

JUst did an even EASIER replacement for a cracked camera lens. I purchased this part from ebay :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-Housin.../271099346918?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160
1) Turn phone off
2) Take off battery cover
3) Remove battery, SIM card, and SD Card
4) remove about 8 screws to remove the middle back place.
5) Remove middle back place carefully (There are still tabs holding it secure)
6) Place new middle back in place
7) Screw down
8) Replace battery, SIM card, and SD card
9) Replace battery cover
10) Power up phone!!
Took all of 10 minutes total. Flawless fix on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 3
Gentlemen and OP please update your original post to include this video. This is NOT to promote myself but from all the comments and feedback everyone has stated it is the most detailed and informative on You Tube on the glass replacement procedure. I also have separate videos on shattered glass replacement. Thanks and good luck.
Looking for a link that is confirmed to be a screen protector with an exact fit, meaning the top is cut for the shape of the little speaker and not just trimmed to leave a lot of unprotected area. I've seen a few but am worried about ordering something on Amazon and having it not be quite right. Any help is appreciated.

When you first apply it it will look "cloudy" and a rainbow effect for a couple days (they are "wet apply"), what i Have done is let it dry for a full day, then take a hair dryer to it, it seems to clear up faster that way. When you have it on there, you can't even see it (unless there is something on the screen when you put it on)
They are "Self healing" meaning that they are soft, say if you dig your nail into it. but it goes away.
As for does it cover scratches, I am not sure because I haven't had scratches on my screens when I put them on
Also if you search google for "skinomi coupon codes" you can get a good discount sometimes.

I woke up this morning in a rush, threw my phone in my pocket. Ran out the door to class.
Realized after class when a friend wanted to look at my phone they were with my keys! There are all these little microscratches and a few bigger ones DEAD CENTER.
It isn't too noticeable until light his it from a certain direction.
But I cannot freakin believe that I let that happen. I usually am completely OCD about these things, and I normally put screen protectors and cases on my phone the MINUTE I open the damn thing.
Hell - I do it for all my devices. My laptop, Vita, my gaming consoles, I have protective stuff for everything!
The Note 2 didn't have a Zagg yet, and they list it on their page but it isn't featured or "imaged". The last time I did that with Zagg, the damn thing came to be unpunctured - aka I had to manually cut the material out with a knife (hard as hell to do, near impossible without stretching!)
So I waited one day too long it seems. Screw me right?
I'm so annoyed and bothered now. Brand new phone, brand new scratches. First phone screen scratch issue I've had in over 4 years.
Does anyone know any real solutions (aka not toothpaste -.-) that I could try to buffer them out?

Have you returned phones to ATT before? Im not familiar with the process and how easy it may or may not be.
If you get a replacement, they do sell the Zagg Shields for the Note II at Best Buy. When I first bought my Note 2, I immediately drove to Best Buy and picked up the HD version of the Zagg Shield for it! It definitely looks good on the phone. They had the smudge free version of the shield but I'm not sure if it lowers the clarity...

If you're within your 14 day return window, they will just charge you $35 restock fee and give you a new one. Or .. just suck it up.. slap on a screen protector now and you won't even notice the scratches.

Happened to me the 2nd day I had my Note.
I put it in my backpack for less than 15 minutes in the afternoon. THAT NIGHT I got my new screen protectors in the mail and as I was going to apply the screen I noticed the scratches all over the screen.
The glass is NOT scratch proof by any means just because it is gorilla glass. Sure typical metal wont scratch the screen but just about anything else will.
I took it back to ATT and they switched it for a new one, no questions asked for the restocking price of 35 bucks.
I slapped a screen protector on my new Note the minute I opened the box.

Have had phone for a month now and just noticed a 1cm scratch thats barely visible with the eye but can be felt with my fingernail. No idea what caused is ive been babying this. Thats what I get for believing in gorilla glass. Ordered JLG today to prevent future occurences
If it makes you feel any better I cracked the glass completely... I'm also very careful with my phones. It took a 3 foot fall onto pavement (hands not used the size yet) and the glass is completely shattered... it wasn't even 24 hours old. Now I am waiting fr the repair place to get the full lcd+touch+glass screen back in stock - will cost me over $300 to have it fixed.
Sooo - little scratches on your screen...
I'm not sure what kind of glass Sammie is using on the Note 2 but it seems pretty fragile. My original galaxy and moto Atrix handled much worse falls without any damage whatsoever.

It scratches on every device its been used on so screen protector up or Flip cover to avoid screen damage.
hehe I got lucky on my Epic Touch 4G no scratch ,ding or dents.
GN2 screen is larger more prone to damage so I'm using flip cover protection on it.
I recommend the Tridea case - http://www.amazon.com/Black-Samsung-Premium-T-Mobile-Unlocked/dp/B009SNTHPO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Yeah I'm sure it's not the phone but just having more screen to scratch/crack etc. I always go caseless and without screen protector but I am buying a coat off armour for this sucker once it's repaired

It scratches on every device its been used on so screen protector up or Flip cover to avoid screen damage.
hehe I got lucky on my Epic Touch 4G no scratch ,ding or dents.
GN2 screen is larger more prone to damage so I'm using flip cover protection on it.
I recommend the Tridea case - http://www.amazon.com/Black-Samsung-Premium-T-Mobile-Unlocked/dp/B009SNTHPO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

I think if you are within 14 days you can still exchange it. I did it from bestbuy, I had 60 days though (silver member)

If you get a replacement, they do sell the Zagg Shields for the Note II at Best Buy. When I first bought my Note 2, I immediately drove to Best Buy and picked up the HD version of the Zagg Shield for it! It definitely looks good on the phone. They had the smudge free version of the shield but I'm not sure if it lowers the clarity...

It makes the pen drag significantly, the anti smudge ones I mean. I had to take it off and return it, it was too annoying.

You might try one of these. I have never used them but they claim to fill in 95% of the scratches on your screen and they do have one for the note 2.
