Good afternoon,
I did the search, I found many threads about disassembly, but not what I seek.
My front cover is all scratched.
I bought a front cover, but did not bring the digitizer, and I am wonder if it is possible to use the digitizer that comes with the mobile phone and use it with the new front cover. And if it is possible how?
Hmm. What do you mean by a "digitiser"?

You have the front cover, and on the front cover you have the digitizer. But this front cover that i have, dont have the digitizer, so i have to take it from the original front cover and put it on the new, and im asking if is that possible.

Or in other words, i want to remove this system from this front cover and try to put it in another without it.
I'm in the same situation with my X10 Mini Pro. The new front cover I bought has next-to nothing attached to it, unlike the existing front cover.
I downloaded the service manuals, and although they do describe how to replace the front cover assembly, it seems to be assumed that you have the whole multi-component unit (except the ear speaker). So I think I've bought a pup. Next time I'll read the manuals first.
I'll be putting on a gel case and learning to live with the scratches.

the lens on my back cover cracked when dropped a while back, and to get a good photo i now have to remove the back cover to get the obstruction off... is there anything i can buy short of a whole new back cover? all i need is a sticky piece of glass like the one that comes on the original cover...
thanks!
Why don't you just take a piece of plastic and work on it with sandpaper? You could even use some cd jewel case. The material is usually fragile but if you make a cut on its surface with a sharp knife it will tend to brake along this line. So it's fairly easy to break it down to a rectangular shape roughly the size of the camera cover and work with sandpaper or a file until you have a proper shape. Putting some sticky paper cut to shape of the cover on the plastic (preferably on both sides) will help in achieving the proper shape and will protect the surface from scratching.
Just look around the hose and be creative - i'm sure you'll be able to find a piece of clear, non-scratched plastic somewhere If you feel that the cd-case plastic will be too soft and will scratch too easily you could apply a piece of screen protector to it. It sure isn't worth buying a new screen protector just for that but if you already have one on your phone you could use a piece of it to protect camera cover and get a new one for the screen
As for attaching the cover to g1 back cover, there are many ways ranging from glues to double-sided sticky tapes. Use whatever you have at your disposal (just stay away from cyanoacrylate adhesive aka super glue - its vapor will ruin the transparent plastic).
a new back cover is cheap, like $6.

what is your phone model? Different phones have different camera lens with varied shape. A camera lens can not be just replaced by a plastic stuff as the guy said above and it is a prttey tough thing to shape the plastic. an original camera lens does not much. It may be no more than $1。
I've noticed that my camera is already a little scratched up and I think a year down the line it may be pretty scratched, can the lens be replaced?
Don't think so. U probably need to replace the whole cam.
Anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to prevent camera lens scratch? I hate having a case on the phone, but if the phone is put on a table the lens is in contact with the surface... would a screen protector work?
I would buy any clear screen protector and make the cutout. It shouldn't mess with the clarity.
I put a clear tape over the camera when its not in use,

I've replaced it before on my HTC HD2. It's not so hard, once the bevel is removed the outer glass falls right out. Got my replacement from Ebay.
Sent from my AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note using the XDA Premium app.
Camera protection is actually one of the main reasons I love the flip cover by Samsung. The replacement back is just a tad thicker than the stock cover around the camera lens and cause it to recess a bit protecting it from surface scratches from just being placed down.
Hi!
I'm currently using a Z5 Compact with one Slim TPU cover (Orzly Flexi-Slim Case). But I'd like to stop using a case.
The only thing that worries me is the camera, which is bit exposed.
If the camera was scratched by laying the phone at a desk surface, I'd like to know if it's possible to recover it replacing only the back cover.
Does somebody know if the back cover also includes the "glass" area of the camera? (I assume that it is possible to repair this on a Sony store or something like that, without loosing the warranty, right? Paying money)
thanks and best regards,
Sebastian.
So you're thinking of using the Z5C with a naked back, then?
The camera lens is not part of the main glass back of the phone. There's a circular cutout in the back that allows the camera lens to poke through. (The flash lens, however, is part of the glass back).
That said, the camera lens has a little silver-coloured ring around it, and the lens itself is set back. When you have the phone sitting on a desk, the lens will be raised above the surface slightly. Unless you regularly set the phone down on sandy/dirty surfaces, it'll probably be ok.
If you're really worried, you might want to look into getting a tempered/hardened glass back protector. That'll raise the camera a bit further off the desk without making the phone much thicker.
FYI, the camera lens cover is made of plastic, so you should definitely try not to scratch it. I personally use a dbrand skin, so it's slightly raised above the ground.

No wonder my outer lens gets so easily scratched. I have these mystery blemishes even with a case on... luckily the blemishes are located away from the camera lens itself. So is replacing the entire back the only solution to replace this "plastic" lens covering?

Hi Guys,
I found a seller on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Back-rear-c...i-2-3-4-Mi2-Mi3-Mi4-Redmi-Note-/272046963773?
Who is selling the replacement glass for my phone, I have a slight crack along the lens that is causing focus issues when I take photo's,
It's cheap and I want to go ahead and purchase it, however before I Go ahead I need to know if I will be able to easily remove the piece and replace it? Is it just held in there by glue? does anyone know or have any experience in doing a replacement?
I changed camera glass on my Xiaomi Note 1 easily. You just need to open a phone and push glass from other side of holder. Replacement glass has adhesive tape on it. The quality of photos was increased very well. Replacement glass can be found on Aliexpress.
Rear camera doesn't work, pink lines appear...is there any solution?

Yup, send it back to sony for a fix.
I know this is an older post, but I had the same problem on my Z5 Compact. I replaced the camera module with an inexpensive one from an eBay seller in China, and that fixed it. It was fairly easy to take the back of the phone off, remove the plastic frame (10 screws), and unplug the old camera. I wonder the failure has anything to do with how Sony has the camera cable folded up so tightly?

how brittle is the stock rear glass? ive ordered a replacemant to keep around but it broke just touching it, it felt like an egg shell.
The original glass didn't feel all that brittle. I heated the phone up with a heat gun, and pulled up on the rear glass with a locking suction cup, the type that they sell for taking the glass off of iMacs, and it never felt like it was going to crack. I pulled it up far enough to get a guitar pick style cell phone tool under one corner, and then ran it around the edge of the phone. The glass popped right off. It felt surprisingly durable, and almost like it was coated with something.
