Bought mine on ebay for about 25€ with the chrome parts + buttons.They're cheaper if you don't need these.
i want disassembly only the front cover to remove a little speck of dust under the glass, but is it so easy like appear?
The cover is glued to the phone or not?
Could be consequences for this procedure, can i compromit the air gap?
I don't want remove a speck of dust and then with the use collect 100 of them .
If i get the phone to service, i will lose all my mods .
Please, say me is a safety procedure and very very easy.
The neo doesn't have an air gap, Arc only. I think you will get only more dust, I had the samebon my older SE phone l

Do you speak about the disassembly ?
Of course if you don't pay care, you can get more dust, you have to be fast and precise, not opening all the glass, but only a bit.
In someway the employe had to assembly it during the process and perhaps a little speck of dust remained between lcd and glass, but is is too visible under sun light.
If a careless employe allowed the access of a speck of dust, i can do better because i have not hurry, so i'm not worried about more dust during this process.
I ask you this question only to know if can enter more dust when the phone is again assembled.
Now, apart this speck of dust just out of the box, never entered dust in these months.
Okay that is a video to bookmark!
About a dust specle: Use a can with compressed air, I believe it's called Dustfree or something. Don't start with cotton swipes, you'll make it worse.
Hi,
I've disassemble my Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V yesterday and mounted it again now with a white housing, but now whenever I make a call, as soon as I press on the CALL button the screen automatically goes black... as it happens with we put the phone in contact with our ear or head.
I disassemble and assemble it again a few times but still the same problem...
I'm guessing I've messed up the sensor, but I can not be sure...
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance,

Its surely the issue of your proximity sensor. Please re-check that once again and you'll be good to go
How do you detach the digitizer and sensors from the front plate? The glue doesn't really give and I'm scared of breaking the ribbon cable.

I'd like to know too please... though I've already broken the ribbon cable and am replacing the digitizer...
EDIT
Actually I meant I broke the small ribbon cable but anyway. I found out how to do it, take a thin, small and sharp knife then very gently cut away the glue, it should come off very easily. Then slowly prise the connected section of the phone, I don't know the name but the part with the orange cables. You will have to cut away more glue and you will also have to prise it off the rubber as it is quite firmly stuck in the rubber. Hope I helped, this image should help you figure what should dis-attach from the casing.

So the LCD is 'permanently' glued to the screen, rather than being held in by tabs and screws as in the Incredible? That sucks...
Hopefully someone will start selling the entire front bezel+digitizer assembly.

It's just a bit of adhesive. They are not "permanently' glued / fused together. They can be easily separated.

Thank you for the positive feedback! We do not have the part in stock right now but we are always adding new stock. Feel free to check back on our site to see if we have the part available.
Thanks for posting this. I just dropped my phone and 1/4 of my lcd screen is out or stuck pixels. I just purchased from your store what I think i need to repair it. This will be my first time dissecting and repairing a phone and these kind of posts make all the difference.
Thank you very much and good luck with the repair! Let us know how it goes!
well......i replaced the screen. Not thinking that I got this from a warranty claim it had some more adhesive that was not on the video. I got the screen in and it looks great...but....I messed up the touchscreen. It randomly hits and also doesn't register other times....fail. So either ordering the digitizer and hope not to f up. Or try to sell this for someone who knows what they are doing and buy something else. Any advice?

Sounds like the touch screen maybe making contact with the LCD and this is why you are getting the issue.
Make sure you used the correct thickness adhesive between the LCD and digitizer to prevent this problem. This is shown in our repair video provided with the part.
Use our contact us form on the web site and we can assist you further if you have more questions.

ouch, mine had a drop too and the border around the screen is really weak, it now has a small bend at the top corner, luckily it wasn't too bad, but it was only a short drop :\.
My old sgs i9000 with flimsy plastics has been through much worse and looks like new... I won't complain about cheap plastics anymore :X.
Ive found the part in a german online store !!! but.. how to remove the bottom bezel? is it needed to disassemble the whole internals? like here : http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/04/30/xperia-s-disassembly-guide/

Mine Xperia S ( the black one above in the pic ) dropped on the street and had a crack too but you can easily fix it. Just order the bottom cover online ( the Dutch shop send it in whole Europe i thought ).
When you have a crack in the bottom cover the tension is of the plastic part so you can easily remove it with you're nails. If not, just pull in the middle by the transparant bar and lift the bottom cover with a credit card. The peace will disengage itself then.
Good luck!
il try my best but im scared to break it :O
Well if you break it off it wont matter now
You can just push the new one on then. I didn't realize they were already selling the bottom replacements, im not so terrified now if I crack it if I have a butterfinger moment .
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
yeah same .. didnt think bout those parts tbh and i didnt see them on the sony site for replacement parts.. anyways its pretty cheap here in germany 7,40€ for the bottom cover +2,50€ fee.. that makes not even 10€ i like that
I can't understand people who have a case for their phone. Case or not, the shock still might break the phone or something still can crack the screen.
You don't want your phone to get scratched? What difference does it make if it is in a case the whole time?
so i've ordered the bottom cover and just noticed a NICE really NICE scratch on the screen(not the protector.. i removed it)
****ing hell its so easy to scratch i got nothing in my jeans pocket else than my phone...-.-

hi there
I made myself a etui for my htc hd2 for about one year ago adn I'm using it for xperia S now
and I put in it a 3mm aluminium plate in front of it and soft leather inside
it all becouse of my work which is dangerous to any phone especially touch screens
so if someone can make for you something like that it worth any money couse then your phone is unbreakable
Does anyone know where we could order it here in asia? I cant find one in ebay
you must put something like a plettro between the bottom plastic and the trasparent plastic. then you must force the plastic up, it's very simple to do
I trying to apply screen protector for more than 7 hours now and used 16-screen protector but always there is dust under it. Cleaning cleaning and in the bath, no way to get rid from the small dust particle.
Search in the net I done as describe, not working
So I thought what about applying it under water or under shower !!! is it a good idea do it, do you think it will work??? I am afraid to try it because I think there will be rest water under screen protector.
Any advice! Please.

Not sure if serious..? If you try to apply it under water, you'll get water/moisture underneath the screen protector. You should probably go outside and try it if your house is that dusty
I done both my Z and Z Ultra under water works mint just make sure it fresh water I used a glass baking bowl. And covered over the handset by about 3 inch. Good thing with doing it under water is once u got it on you can adjust it. Also don't take off the second layer normally marked as 2 till after all the the handset is full dry mine took around 14hrs otherwise you will just pull the whole thing off.

I applied mine wet. (not under water) I have a Super Sheildz branded protector. Its stiff, and not sticky.
When I applied it the first time, my screen looked clean, but I could see small pieces of dust under it. I think this happens to everyone.
So i rinsed my screen under water, and did the same with the protector, and applied it again. Used a stiff card to push water and bubbles towards the edge. Now its almost perfect. I have one tiny piece near the edge, so I'm happy with that..
Any other moisture will eventually pass through the plastic protector. (depending on the thickness and brand of your protector this may take a day to a week)
Mine took 3 days and then was 100% clear
Hope that helps
Take a really hot shower and then after your done apply the screen protector. The moisture in the air wont let dust fly around. You could also take a screen protector/tape and lay it on the screen peel it off then put your good protector on to take out the dust.

Easy now.
I've only used one screen protector, like ever, and i didn't even know we could use water to make it "stick"
I always apply my (or others') screen protectors with some pieces of Magic Tape stuck ready for use on my desk.
Here are my steps:
1) clean the screen really well (having a waterproof device helps since you can really clean it in water)
2) put the screen protector on, focusing on putting it on the right way, start from the edges (bottom, top, right, left, whichever fits you) and get the sensors in the right holes
3) once fitted, peel off the top layer and push any bubble that may have sneaked under, all those which aren't evidently dust particles ones
4) IF you have dust particles bubbles, put a piece of magic tape on the nearest corner
5) pull up the corner and, with another piece of magic tape, go under the screen protector and peel the dust off of it.
6) keep at it until you have zero dust particles
Mind that the magic tape is the only one suited for this job, as it doesn't leave any glue on anything when peeled off.
P. S. If you have no idea of what is Magic Tape, here it is:

My 2 weeks-old xperia z2 fell off a friend's hand today and its back glass got shattered! I checked locally and there isnt any replacement part around me so i had to order for it from aliexpress(reliable??),which will take atleast three weeks before i will get it,so im stuck with a shattered phone for now,im totally screwed right now aaaarrggghhh!!
Anyways Has anybody gone through this before? My concern is the adhesive fixed beneath the panel,will the phone retain so called "water proof" after the replacement? will it lose its integrity? Since its just adhesive perhaps some part will not glue back properly will that be susceptible to dust settlement? Will NFC still function properly?
And oh! i thought i read its "shatter proof" before i bought the phone ...perhaps i didnt read well??
Shatter proof?
No such thing and it doesnt say it on the sony website from my last checking
Water resistancy should be kept intact if the sealing is properly kept intact or replaced, NFC i dont realy know enougu about to answer for you

To answere your question, the back cover is not shatter proof, its a dragon trail tempered glass that means its supposed to be scratch resistant but not shatter proof. the NFC will still work if you replace the back cover. and as far as I know every back replacement have the doble side tape, so you can take off the one on your phone and just place the back replacement that comes with its propper tape.
About the water proof, let me tell you that actually this is not a water proof phone, its more actually a water resistant phone, keep in mind that what makes this phone resist to water is the tape on the back and front pannels and the flaps. but to be honest I dont see this phone like water proof. you can take the phone out when its raning , take it with you hands wet. but once you replace the back cover you have to be sure that the tape of the back is water proof tape.
I dissasembly my Z2 and now that I know what make the phone water resist, I wont take the risk to try it on a pool .

Yap, shatter proof means exactly that, when you drop it the back panel will probably crack but it will not break in million pieces like a regular glass. :thumbup:

I have watched the Z2 disassembly video but the phones lower components are a bit different. I have a Z3v that needs a screen replacement. I was also hoping to install some thermal pads for cooling efficiency.
Pretty Much the Z2

WARNING This post is long
I just opened up mine. (Back glass was cracked and audiojack had major problems.) and It is pretty much exactly just like the z2. You'll be able to manage no problem. I shot straight for the Audio jack which is just under the motherboard. You'll have to remove that no matter what you replace. However, some pointers.
1. REMOVE THE SD & SIM CARD SLOTS
2. Very tricky with the back glass panel. The adhesive on the rims of the phone comes off with ease with the help of a common hair dryer. But... there's is some kind of tape gel that is attached to the middle bottom half of the screen, attached to the battery. I had to grab a looong piece of plastic to gently coax the tape off. Pushing down on the battery and lifting the screen at the same time, slipping the tool gently in between. (If you've ever skinned an animal, it's allot like this)
Sadly, some of the black from the back of the screen remained on the tape. (Figure A) Don't get frustrated is what i have to say. Pull firmly, NEVER yank.
3. Don't forget that the NFC module is attached to the back glass. (Figure B & C) It's basically a sticker. Just peel it off gently and try not to bend it too much. And try to make the sticker fit exactly where it was on the old glass. There are some copper pokers that come into contact with it.
4. When trying to remove the battery, the wireless charging coil can stay attached to the battery. I almost mistakenly removed it.
5. Before removing the motherboard unscrew everything that you need to and gently disconnect all the connections. I found the camera, battery, main flex cable, antenna and audio jack. If you have removed the SD card and such, it should be loose. To remove the motherboard, you need to lift the side opposite of the micro USB connector first, then slide it out. The USB connector makes it so that the mother board can't be pulled up directly like in the Z2 video.
6. When removing the audio jack, there is a hole on the jack frame that was obviously meant to help you pull it out. It is stuck to the frame with some very strong water-proof adhesive. I just used a small screw driver that fit into the hole.
Well, that's all I needed. I din't want to go any further, but sadly if your front screen is cracked you'll have to remove EVERYTHING. The z2 video should be able to help you alot. When finished, clean, assemble, apply more heat (to the adhesive), then reseal the back glass with new adhesive. (You can find it on ebay) Clamp it for a bit to allow the adhesive to set and viola done.
I attached photos. But it's pretty much the Z2. :laugh: :good:

Sorry, I didn't go deep enough to see it. But if it's like the rest of the phone I'm betting it's sealed up very tight. I don't see a reason why Sony would want to weld it, but it's a good possibility.
However, I broke my back screen again (don't put metal headphones with your phone in a tight pocket.) I'm getting my replacement parts in about a week. I can check then if you're feeling really patient.
I recommend looking at the Z2 videos. Our screen most likely will be the same.
