this is what you need ;-)

Can't you remove the glass and replace it?

I've just seen...it's only the plastic insert that is broken is it not?
It's just a thin square of plastic, stuck down with some kind of non drying sticky resin

yes thats what ı need. the plastic insert that is broken
from where ı can find it? since one month I searching for it

This might sound crazy but...Take apart the device. Bust out the broken glass and just put all back together. Get a protective carrying case. Won't be an eyesore anymore and you can quit looking for that little piece.
and Leoni, are you selling the part or just showing off? HA.

Okay I found something that looks like it contains what you need.
I'm thinking you buy it. Remove what you want and sell the rest as is gently used.

Scroll down to where they have the pics in the listing. Second one shows one with glass over camera.
Or what about a dummy phone? They might use the same glass! And you'll have a toy!

beggers cant be choosers

Honestly I think the dummy phone purchase may be your way to go.
You would only be spending about $25-30 USD to have a possible fix.
If this part WERE available, I imagine it costing at least $10-20 USD.
Beggars can be choosers, but you just have less to choose from!

still could not find any seperate insert plastic ):

in fact I have same problem , the first crack appeared after two weeks maybe , then another one after next two weeks , look pretty shattered by now , but surprisingly pics still do come out al right
doesn't really affect the phone , just ruins it visually , and the funny thing is that HTC in the warranty agreement specified already that any external damage to the screen , camera , lens etc. is not covered by the warranty
I wonder if my phone brakes down for a different reason and I send it back , would they void it since I had the camera glass broken , claiming I was handling is roughly

you probably wont find something that small of a part being sold separately, so your best bet is buying the whole case listed before and using the part out of it, or swapping all your stuff over to it. Not expensive but probably all you can hope for unless someone is selling parts off.

broken camera glass
i also broke mine sent it back to htc and for £71.00 inc collection and delivery they replaced it it comes back wiped so back up first

71 pounds for a simple piece of plate-glass that can even be removed and reinstalled without opening the housing? That sounds fairly pricey to me...
And seeing that a lot of people are experiencing the same problem (including myself) wouldn't it be nice if HTC would recognise the design flaw and send out $0.05 pieces of glass to everyone needing one? But knowing HTC that is not gonna happen
I for one am thinking about grinding a thin piece of plexiglass into the right shape and using that. A replacement piece of glass is just going to break again anyway...

Scratched screen

I have some kind of bad scratches on my screen, I was just wondering if I choose to replace it will I need to swap the digitizer, screen or front case?
Its not causing many problems yet, but in the sun they show up really bad and make things under the scratches kind of hard to see.

The Actual front of the screen is actually the digitizer so thats what you would have to replace, the font case dosent have a clear part its the digitizer
and believe it or not thats probably the cheapest part of all 3 to replace
and if you choose to replace it you can use this guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaAe0xWdkzI

Hello, I also have scratch on the screen, but they're not scratch "lines": in the center, where I touch most of the times, I have some kind of spots, like the screen had worn in that point because is the most touched. Anyone with this problem? What it could be?
Thanks!

Check if there's any protection cover on the screen. In case there's no cover and you see the touchscreen was damaged, try to replace it. Someone already have posted youtube link to tutorial. For instance, you can buy a new touchscreen on ebay (i can't post the link)

Broken Camera Glass

I was jogging and fell wearing my watch. The camera glass shattered. Anyone know a way to fix it? The camera still works, just broken camera glass. Also just know if you fall wearing this thing, you can potentially break your little bone in your wrist with the speaker part of the watch. Just FYI. Also, I haven't found anything on the Web about broken gear cameras, anyone had this happen to them?

WOW that looks Nasty !!!!
Cannot see if you will be able to replace just the Glass your best bet might be to see if Samsung can sell just the strap, I imagine the camera is a sealed unit with the Glass glued on.
You are the first i have heard of that has done this

Somebody in the forum here has pictures of the camera disassembled. Looked pretty easy. You might be able to just take that little piece of glass and have a thin piece of glass or plexi cut to size. Then just glue it into place.

Mine broke the second day i had it
i called samsung and it will cost me $70 to send it to them to repair it
i dont even know how i broke mine - i dont remember even bumping it

Best Buy warranty

I contacted a Samsung repair center in Plano Texas and they told me they could order me a new band. They will replace the band for $45. Going on tuesday. Hopefully they are correct.

[Q] Crack in screen and waterproofing.

No one appears to have asked something this specific so here goes.
Conveniently I cracked the glass back of my Xperia Z1; and was just curious as to how a crack here will affect how waterproof it is.
I assume it's no good now, however I would like to confirm, particularly with anyone who has pulled one apart.
Will be calling Sony tomorrow to try sort this out too.
Cheers guys.

Sorry for the delay, had to find something to take a photo with, and a decent light source.
I bumped it off a table onto a wooden floor, don't mind forking out some cash for repairs though (just not sure if I can cope with not having my phone for a few days, sorta need it for work).
I have also emailed Sony, but I don't think I'll get a reply until tomorrow.
Attached is picture.

are you sure the glass panel is cracked ? or it is the crack on sheet above it ?

I didn't know the sheet above could crack the way this did, unless it scratched on something when it fell. I don't particularly want to take the ASF off as I've heard it voids warranty, however you have got me thinking, it does look like just the film on top.
It'd be nice if Sony sold replacement films.

Z1 back glass replacement and waterproofness

Since my frame is bent and my back glass is broken I really have to replace them as the dust got between back glass and the camera rendering camera with flash useless.
I'm thinking about replacing it myself, but I'm worried if it's still going to be waterproof after I replace it.
Have any of you guys replaced the back glass by yourself? How's the waterproofness after you did that?

Water resistence will be gone for sure and back glass wont stick for long.time to time you have to push it back.

I'm talking about replacing it. Both bent frame and back glass. Have you done this?

No, they will keep the water-proof capablility of the phone. First they will replace the back, remove all the old glue and rubber gasket then replace all with new glue, etc...then use high compression machine press the back cover tight to the glue. Atleast that is the process of replace back cover in my local Sony center, not sure it's applied to all....And after repair they will allow you to put the phone into water to test...

FFS
My adhesive on the back just completely stopped holding the back glass. I can take it out by shaking the device a bit or even by picking it up. I'll be sending it for the repairs...
No more Z1 development, really.

Yeah. The worst thing is that I have to ship the phone on my own. I mean wrapping, talking with DHL and stuff like that to get it to authorised sony service ... -_-

Good thing is that although I'll pay a lot for the replacement of the frame and the back it will be waterproof again.
I'll send it in this weekend or at the begging of the next week.

If anyone would be interested in the state of my Z1 then here's what's wrong with it:
USB flap fell off again.
Back glass is broken
Main frame is bent
Middle frame is cracked
To fix it I'd have to buy:
Glue for middle frame, main frame
Back glass
USB flap
Middle frame
I'll propably fix it myself becaus the cost of doing this in the service would be propably as high as a new Z1. Too bad I'm not rich so I can't buy those parts yet.

If anyone is interested then I finally made pictures of my phone. At least the screen and the electronic hardware is allright.

I only had Xperia Play apart from Z1, flashed xperia S just few days ago, lol ^^

I didn't test it myself, but if you buy a genuine back glass assembly (that includes glue, you can buy this from, for example www.witrigs.com) and replace it properly, wait a week or so for the glue to align and stick properly it should still be waterproof. I did replace almost every part of my Z1, that is camera, back microphone, back glass - 2 times, minijack with proximity sensor, battery, main frame with all the buttons and flaps, speaker mesh and propably something else I don't really remember anymore. It doesn't matter anyway, what matters here is that if you replace middle frame - take close attention to the speaker mesh hole - the one from a phone has some sort of a gasket there, whereas the replacement one - doesn't and you can't really buy it separately. I bought the middle frame assembly from witrigs and it was also missing that gasket. Also, speaker mesh from witrigs is different from the one that was in the phone. These parts render my phone not waterproof anymore and I don't think you can buy replacements for it that would still make the phone waterproof, even if replaced with surgically perfect precision.
TL;DR
Back glass assembly (complete genuine replacement part with glue, nfc, camera etc. already on it) replacement, if done properly, may not cause your phone to lose it's waterproofness. At least from my experience.
Replacing main frame and speaker mesh, even new genuine will void it. Not because there were some mistakes in replacing them, they simply don't have all of the elements that the parts originally shipped with a new phone have. Replacing them will definitely remove its waterproofness. (with all parts from witrigs.com, that is very trusted to ship genuine, new replacement parts.
Just posting this so people googling around could find the answer.
