i need to do a replacement housing on my white hero.... want to change it to pink.... is it hard to do ? all i need is like changing front cover.... how to do ?
It's not so hard to do, but you need to remove the touch windows from the front cover. the glass is glued and you have to heat it to soften the glue.
you can find many video on youtube
Where have you find the housing?

The housing in the link is OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), i think the quality it's the same of the original one.
If you see the picture, all the black part in the front pannel, is the glue.
so i dont need to glue it ? =/

so do i need to buy glue ? XD or does the housing include ?XD how big chance will i break the touchscreen ? is it safe to use the oven or hairdryer ?
its not glue exactly. its a double sided sticky tape which is already attached to the housing.
when you remove the glass front from your old housing, you reattach it to the new one using the tape that is already applied.
so no, you dont buy glue. id think if you did try to glue it yourself, youd royally mess it up
i wouldnt put it in an oven myself. hairdryer it for a few mins, gently pushing the glass out until it loosens up enough.

Hey,
I want to change the complete cover of my neo (looks kinda wasted atm
I have found this Video below how to disassemble the phone,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOE_Z-y8FUs but my Problem is that i only find new covers without the glass...
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Sony-Ericsso...esignfolien&hash=item257260a639#ht_1585wt_906
or only the glass http://www.amazon.de/Sony-Ericsson-...F150/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341754831&sr=8-1
Can i now buy only the cover and carefully press the glass of my Neo out and after that glue it with the new cover ?
Hope some1 has better knowledge and can help me out
I´d say: take your's apart and see how it's glued together.
Personally I really want to replace the worn out buttons, but parts are expensive.

Hello! I want to replace the body of my i9100, but I want to know if there is some risks, I saw some videos on youtube, and I realize that I need to remove the screen of the body, removing the "glue" or something like that. What is your opinion?
Full housing bought:

Thanks
Having some scratches & cracks here and there doesn't mean you should replace the housing.
And yes there are risks especially with the screen which can break easily or the it's ribbon getting damaged.
Also even if you safely de-attach the screen, are you 100% sure you can attach the screen to the new case housing perfectly?
Also did you purchase the right adhesive tape to attach the screen?
Here some adhesive tapes:

Not 'risky', but I'd do that when/if I'll break the screen.

Hi guys,
I have break the glass of my xt910 and i search to replace it.
On internet i found 2 type of replacement parts, one type with lcd/digitizer and glass lens for ~100$ and the other with just glass lens for ~30$.
My LCD and my digitizer work fine so i don't want to buy useless things but on video that i watch where a guy disassemble a razr. At the end, they have just the part with lcd/digitizer and glass lens and they don't go far away.
So i want to know if i can just buy a glass lens and replace just this part on my razr.
I post you a photo of my smartphone.
Thanks and sry for english this is not my native language.

I think you should get a Glass+Digitizer, its available in ebay from China sellers for around 85$. Because in most devices removing glass from digitizer will be a tough task!!

I see a tuto with a air dryer. For 70$ im ready to test this solution.
Thank you
Anyone else ?
Not sure if you went through with it, but I'd advise against it. I was about to do this with my old Razr and we backed out. The digitizer and screen are fuzed together so separating them is really difficult without cracking the actual screen (I've heard it's actually impossible).
Hi.
Accidentally dropped my s3 i9300 ( ofcaurse at day when i don't had lifeproof on in ) and front screen has a one crack from top to the bottom.
Im ok with replace it by self together with video from xda user http://goo.gl/120AwW
This was created in 2012. I wont to ask you noob questions:
1. Is this the best way to replace it?
2 . Do i have to replace digitize or only front glass ?
3. Which glass/screen is the best to buy as replacement ? ( is possible to buy better then original - like for s4 or better ? )
Thank You for any help.
I found this thing. http://goo.gl/JNKlqc Is that what i need ?

Yes but u ve to be very careful when u remove your broken screen. Make sure you get the screen hot enough without frying yr lcd. What u are replacing is only the glass, the digitizer is a film glued on the lcd.careful not to lift it up when remmoving yr glass also be careful of the flex cable for menu and back button. Never start from bottom. One thing for sure yr phone will be the same again as the original does not have a gap between the glass and the lcd it is filled with glue.Its better to buy the complete assembly from aliexpress cost abt $90US. Cheers

Hello, where can I find a replacement of the rear camera for the Moto G4 XT1622? I did'nt find anything searching on google...

Replacement Camera
I guess the only option available is Moto Service Centre. They replace genuine parts, but price is little high.

So why the genuine glass cover got scratches? I have personally ordered replacement glass from Amazon.in for about Rs. 400 and it is much better than stock glass.
If you want to spend more like Rs. 1200-1500 go for a service centre repair.
This one should fit you right

Cleaning glass with petrol with a bit rough cloth will solve the purpose easily....I did for mine....
It actually cleans the oleophobic coating...
Hello everyone,
I had the same problem of blurry camera it was caused due to scratches on the oleophobic coating on the camera lens.
I would not recommend you to replace lens (if u want u can get it on Amazon for around 200-250rs in India) as replacement lens might have the same problem of scratches after some time.
Instead I had used rust removal paste to get rid of scratches. After using it my camera is Crystal clear. Before that I had tried using pepsodent toothpaste it didn't work. I even tried sharp object to scrape the coating it didn't work. So the best solution to the problem is to use rust removal paste with tissue paper or cloth to rub over the lens within one minute all scratches disappear.
Hit the thanks if my solution worked for u.

You can also use metal polish(grainier) or car polish.
