anyone know how to replace the evo 3d's rear camera glass? mine is pretty scuffed up and scratched and found a replacement part on ebay. and yes i have looked up the teardown videos on youtube but none explain how to take the old glass off. is it just glued on? would it just pop off? im trying to do this on my own if i can without taking it to the cell repair place. thanks.
You mean the glass that covers the lens? If so, i once took mine apart on my desire and that was kinda glued on so i'd only imagine its not too different here.
Yes the glass that covers the lens

My guess is it's' glued on .. Unless you find the whole part together on ebay or something.. I know it scratches easy lol.. HTC said it was tough lol ya right..
Can anyone confirm that the EVO LTE is sporting Gorilla Glass II? How's your screen holding up so far? Are you using a screen protector or going commando :sly: style?

Lol!
That is awesome! :thumbup:
I had to shoo my 4 year old son away from watching that with me. I know if he did, I'd find my broken phone out in the garage along with nails & a block of wood!

That is awesome. I mean, I can't picture trying it myself. But is the lte using the same screen as One X? Also, random, I hate the One X screen the way it sticks up out of the chassis.
Also, I was in a sprint store today, and the rep scratched a Motorola photon screen with a set of keys, repeatedly to show how resistant the screen is. No damage. Said they've been doing it every day for fun. But, does Evo have same glass as photon? Rep didn't know and I've never investigated.

I'm screaming at home, "WHAT THE ****, MAN!! STOP DOING THAT! YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK IT! OMG, I FEEL IT IN MY BALLS!!!"
And then, "OH! Holy **** that glass is tough!".
That is one scary video....

Really!? I have one of those new HD Zagg shields but haven't put it on yet thinking it wont scratch... I might just put it on today
I don't think it is. From what I read the other day it seems the GSIII will be the first phone sporting the new Gorilla Glass 2

correct,
although there is almost no difference in strength between gorilla glass and gorilla glass 2. The latter is designed to be thinner.

So does this mean it has the original Gorilla Glass then?

I'm using a screen protector and body case since most of the time smartphones rubbing the inside of my pants' pockets wear down the screen and cosmetics of the device

I have the HD Zagg on, but it kinda messes with the P-sensor, when i make a call and put the phone away from my face it sometimes doesnt turn on, never had this issue with my 3d. And if it matters i payed 8 dollars at bestbuy to get it installed.
this video is amazing! makes me wonder if i really need my otter box defender now. LOL
sprint store i went to today had an htc rep there. i asked him what kinda screen it was. he told me himself that it was gorilla glass 2. i even asked him if he was sure, he said he was. he seems very knowledgable about htc products cuz he answered all my questions even though i already knew the answers
Hmm, this is interesting. So, wouldn't it make sense that if a manufacturer as big and as marketing savvy as HTC was going to sell a flagship phone such as this that came equipped with GG/GG II, they would be advertising it as a selling point? Not trying to troll my own thread but it seems like they've done this in the past with their other phones as well. I wonder why?

You probably got a piece of sand in your pocket, silica/quartz/sand will scratch gorilla glass. Or diamonds, if you are rolling around in those.

HTC EVO 4G LTE Scratch & Drop Test
How tough is Gorilla Glass 2?
Watch Now: "youtube.com/watch?v=_H87iR-xSJM"
Just copy the url above and paste it in your address bar
Thanks for YouTube link. I watched that AND two about Gnex, both were scratch tests and showed no scratching.
BUT...all 3 vids I watched had user comments saying they (users) had scratched screens,...just from everyday use. And Slayer69 (oh so sadly, sorry bro) already scratched his. Little hard to know what to believe.

I recently upgraded to the HOX+ from a Captivate.
My captivate never got scratches on the screen for the two years I had it and yet, already a week with the HOX+,I see surface scratches popping up all over the place.
Is this normal? I always keep my phone in an isolated pocket away from my wallet and keys but it keeps happening. I thought this had gorilla glass.

This is normal for gorilla glass 2 it just sucks scratches easily and cracks easily, look up just like glass screen protectors from dba

Does the dba screen protector cover the tapered edge as well (like the skinomi film) or does it just cover the screen?

I thought gorilla glass was unscratchable.

It's scratch resistant, not scratch proof unfortunately.
Any substance harder than the glass itself will scratch it.

This is my first Gorilla Glass II device, I was using the S2 for over a year and while I did scratch it by dropping it on concrete a few times it didn't have microscratches as easilily as the HOX+
Anyone else find GGII scratches easier than I?
Is there a good screen protector that isn't 'grippy' ?
I noticed a small scratch on my screen. But i don't think its the screen thats scratched. I think its the coating HTC put on the screen.

AndroHero is probably right, its a scratch in the coating of your screen.
I found a product that reapplies your coating, thus remove the scratches.
I'm definitely going to try it out.

Even with a brand new phone, i noticed tiny scratches ( you have to use a magnifying glass or slowly rotate it in the right light to see)
and phone has been no where near the insides of any pocket or un raised over any surface with my case. it hasn't seen a single touch or wipe.
some have called them surface stress scratches due to manufacturing.

anyone else?
Funny you mention it, my buddies camera was terrible, looked foggy and blurry...his lens is scratched really really badly. My camera works great, but when I looked it was also really badly scratched, we both use the same case too. It sucks that it picks up scratches so easily.

There's a few threads in this problem my lense has these marks in it. I can get a definitive answer if it actually affects photo quality. Mine seems to take pretty good photos

its not even g2...the lens is square instead of circle...fakee
To be that badly scratched im not sure how gentle this use was lol,im using mine without a case from when i got it.And it only has 1 superfine minor scratch you can see only in certain angles if you put it directly to the sun.And it was there from when i got it.
yep big long scratch on my Verizon one.

Can't recall....Did that lens ship with protective plastic on it? If so, did you remove it? I literally just discovered I missed the plastic over the volume and power button, so I thought it might be a possibility.

maybe verizon opted out of the sapphire and put glass? mine is perfect
Scratch that... Verizon wireless page says it is:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/device/smartphone/lg-g2
maybe the finish is different.. my D800 looks like it just came out of the box.. I don't use a case
My verizon one looks like crap. Looks cloudy due to abrasions. I am really good about not putting the phone in my pocket with keys and stuff. I don 't know but when I look in the light I see a worn looking spot that does not look right... like abrasion wear or something. I think it affects my picture quality. Don't think pictures are properly focused because of it.
