Just curious, but why would you like to do that?
Yes, along with voiding warranty and some tech skills.
noo, i mean mine got cracked a little and i wonder if its possible to change it for the same one but new

That would be possible to do, but the raised question of voiding warranty is valid one...

Any idea how it happened? Could it be manufacturing problems?
Nooo, it wasnt an out of nowhere crack, my friend pushed me while I was holding it and it got dropped down...

Damn, that's unfortunate. Feel sorry for you, seriously. Would you mind changing thread name to "Housing cracked". I now there no issue as such, like with Arc, but at least more people would be aware. That's why maybe it s actually worth considering buying case.
As I said. Its a very small and someone that dont know about it wont notice it so its ok. Ty anw for ure help!

Change the housing and change your friend just kidding.
I bet it is possible, when I change the arc's housing at very early time it was very expensive but later got a lot cheaper. Try and make it a warranty issue. Does your phone has sign of being dropped?
It could be more difficult to do it under warranty, better chances under insurance?

as "Cholek3" recommends, insurance would be nice since its the complete replacement of the phone. Warranty housing replacement sucks because first you have to send it back to repair center for inspection and sometimes to send it back.

Has anyone got dust under their Amaze yet?
I have dust under mine and I'm wondering if there was any way (easy or not) to get it out. I emailed Wind and checked if maybe they could do something about it since I'm still under warranty, but if my warranty is one use only then I'll save it for when it's actually something more important.

Yeah, I had it on the first one I had, couple days ago. I got mine exchanged for other reasons but this one did not come with dusts under the screen new. But it did come with this strong women perfume scent, because they replaced mine with open boxed one. I hope this goes away soon, because.my palms always smells like a girl now...

try alcohol wipes, and wipe everywhere, back cover etc. Most of the smell will be gone.
Unless of course you're starting to like it

Very tough job, you have to pull it apart. the glass is glued to the case/bezel around it

Then you can have people think you have one because of the scent. And when you get home you put on the forever alone face XD

In case you didn't know, I meant dust...
I've taken my Droid Incredible apart, to replace both speakers.
Why would the bezel be in the way of the back of the screen?
I have to take the bezel off to get to the front of the camera?
I think I'll learn to ignore the dust, maybe in a year I'll see, but this is too new to me...

Sorry to revive a very old thread but I have the same problem and haven't found anything clear about it. Did anyone else have dust on their front camera?
Thanks!

The only way to fix that issue is to disassemble the phone and replace the front camera. Then make sure you tighten it enough so that dust can't get in. Hit thanks if that helps.

Hi! Unfortunately i dropped my phone and now it has huge cracks all over the screen. Do you think samsung covers for accidents like this?
Yes, ask them and you should get a new one, with a spare for next time you drop it too (saves on postage costs).

Hello guys!
Recently i started to worry about my screen.
It isn't completly flat as it should be. Basicly gorilla glass sould be below the frame, where mine well ... isn't in few spots.
I had an idea to place a match or two on the edge of the screen and then place something heavy on top of that. Maybe glue on higher parts of the screen is preventing middle section to settle down.
I went over a bit, but it looks like on the picture below.
Sorry if my english isn't perfect
Cheers!
I don't know what you're talking about.
If it's new device, return it and ask for a new one.

How can you not understand ?
It's all on the pic in the attachment. Red lines shows how my gorilla glass/digitizer/whatever is bended.
This kind of issue can be removed on warranty?
I can't see sh*t due to those red lines, post a pic of the device without em.
It's a faulty device, warranty has got nothing to do with this. The store is obligated to give you a device that meets the SII design.

That is the device's manufacturing error.. Ask for a replacement., I don't think placing weight on top will help...

Yes actually they will replace the entire screen so it ain't a issue, I dont think they might f*uck up the device cause they must have had a lot of practice changing broken screens. Lol.

I got my Z2 yesterday and unfortunately dropped it later that evening and the glass on the back shattered.. Does anybody know how much it would cost me to replace the glass on the back? is there something i can buy and replace it myself?
I doubt there's anyone out there right now who does it, unless maybe you live in Europe. I'd try contacting Sony, see what they say.
You can buy glass replacement on ebay already, doesnt cost much

I've been around a few places in my city today and one of them could legally repair Sony devices but that would cost me over 400 dollars..
I suggest repairing it yourself. Back should be easily repairable. The front is much harder..
