I have a broken Rear camera glass.
It seems to me that i just have to replace the midframe, but where to buy one?
Wow how did you manage to do that?
It might have been borken from the factory it was droped once on the floor
The crack is just outside the linse area but I think its just a matter of time....

hi all..
basically i new to all this. i wanted to fix my defy digitizer myself instead of paying ridiculous money for some one else to do it.
i found this vid on you tube called (cant post links, new member) -
MB525 Motorola Defy Disassembly Part 1 + part 2
after watching was left wondering,
if could re use front casing?..
if i could remove digitizer from front casing without using heat gun?..
if i had to use any kind glue or sealant to attach digitizer to front casing?
any help or instruction would be great!!
thanks for your time!

I was wondering the same thing. I accidentally dropped my defy face down on the cement and need to replace the digitizer. Anybody have any experience with this????
thanks,
I've had the same problem.
My so-called life-proof Defy fell from about 3 feet and the screen cracked. So much for a shock proof phone. I've already had to replace the earpiece after only four months.
I've found plenty of sellers for screens on Ebay but I would like a Gorilla Glass screen and I have no way of knowing if what they sell is the real thing or a cheap plastic imitation that will scratch easily.
Does anyone know who I can turn to in order to find an original screen/digitizer?
As far as changing the screen, apparently you need to unglue it completely from the front casing and glue the new one back on.
Hope this helps,
cheers,
Arnaud.

Defy is water resistant, scratch resistant, and dust proof. It's not shock proof, not even shock resistant.
Sometimes it based on luck. I drop my defy 4 feet onto a shiny polished cement floor and it bounched a few times. Pick it up and inspect throughoutly. Well, not a scratch on it, everything work except for my heart-bit nearly stop...!
So the camera lens for my G3 broke. I didn't drop it or anything, it just broke. I bought a replacement part just for the lens cover. When I was trying to take apart the lens, I noticed that it has a seal on the top that keeps the lens cover connected. Can i take off the cover or will there be problems because of the seal? I've attached a link so you guys know which part I'm talking about.

Are you trying to take the glass out of that piece you linked to, and attach it to the one on your phone? It seems it would be easier to replace the entire piece rather than just the glass.
If not, I suspect the seal is designed to hold the glass in place and prevent dust from getting inside the assembly. As long as you make sure the new glass piece is sealed somehow (glue?), it will probably be OK. But I've never done this, so to some extent I'm guessing.
Update?

Hi - what was the outcome for this? The same thing has happened to my phone and I see that part you linked. Could you explain whether you installed the part and whether your problem was because you were trying to separate just the glass from the part or whether you had trouble with just removing and then installing that new part. Some pics to help us out?
Thanks.
Hello, i am one of the lucky ones who's camera cracked. Unfortunately i have been smart enough to throw away lens and bracket assuming they are sold together. Now i have spent a few days looking for it without any luck.
There are plenty places offering the glass lens but noone the bracket. Has anyone purchased it somewhere lately and has a link for me? Ideally in Australia but i guess i can't be to picky.
Just buy a spares device. Smashed screen or dented body. So long as the rear cam is intact you should be golden.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
I noticed there are small dust particles under the glass of the front camera. I have no idea how that got there. But I wonder if there's anyway I could remove them without taking the phone apart.
I have got some small dusts on the back camera but thank god it doesn't effect the quality.
I think you need to remove the front screen to remove the dust.
Hello and sorry for my bad english recently i trade my Redmi Note 7 4/64 for a pixel 2 xl with cracked glass near to front facing camera. Well i went to my local service and asked if there is chance to replace only glass he told me NO, to replace the glass only need oca machine and etc. Also we saw the front camera lens at microscope and it has scratches which effect the quality....well i have found some tempered glasses that they cover the whole front camera (because mine has no glass at front camera its empty ) and buy a new camera but i dont know if they quality is the same as the original (maybe i will buy it from aliexprress for about 10 euros) also will it take dust if i put the temptered glass? it will be like it has glass will effect the quality? sorry again any other suggest is allowed
I recently traded and got a Google Pixel 2 XL. The phone's screen is severely damaged and the front camera has broken glass all in it. There is a Crack @ the bottom of the screen too. I am afraid that it is just getting worse. The device functions just fine, every tap or swipe on the screen can be the last. I am looking for a good cheap device repair shop that can make this device like new. Ifixit is the official repair for the device.
