I broke my battery cover when trying to take it off. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement for it? I called Samsung and they do not sell the part individually.

It would be helpful to know which Nexus S you have. There are several model #'s and they are a little different.
Check global parts direct. You have to buy a minimum amount though and I don't think they come with the nfs chip.

I don't whether you are in the UK or not but I just picked up a genuine battery cover (with NFC antenna) from ebay from a trader called dew_trading. £16+p&p.
edit: it was for a I9020 and he's showing as having 5 left.
If you're in the US, make sure to try again and tell them that you want a warranty replacement for a broken back cover-- not that you just want to buy a regular replacement.
I know it sounds stupid, but I got the same line a bunch of times when I called. I had to ask to be transferred to the Warranty department and be sort of insistent that my cover was broken, and I needed it replaced under warranty etc etc. It should only cost you like $16 through that avenue.

Was able to get a replacement as well for $16! I wanted to have a spare.
Can anyone post the number to call for a warranty replacement?

If they got it from samsung, the 99% chance it is NFC.
If you take the back cover off, there's a void sticker on a round piece of plastic... Covering a screw. Is there anyway to reattach that? I want to replace my cracked screen but don't want to void my warranty

Use an exacto knife and a still hand. To be honest its just a sticker, would you pay more for a insured replacement or save a third of the cost by repairing the screen yourself.

i do, but there's a $199 deductible.. so, i'm debating on replacing the screen, report it lost then sell it on craigslist and pay the $200 or just be honest and tell them i want a replacement due to the cracked screen.

If you use your insurance do it the right way. If you falsify that you lost the phone to asurion they will blacklist your imei for the broken phone in question, if the craigslist buyer wants to activate it on att, they are not gonna be too happy
When you get a replacement phone from asurion, they direct you to a site to tie in your new sim card that they ship to you with the imei of the new phone ( this relinks your new phone to the insurance). Fail to do so they will hit you with a retail charge on your next bill.
If you have the courage to fix it yourself then by all means do, but if you're new to this, but considering the risks.

Here is a little ding dong truth for you randong. Encouraging users to fraud their insurance is not the way to get your point across. swallow these two pictures taken from a recent replacement for a damaged Vivid on my second line.
Its Very True!, now smack your head again.

First off let me say I didn't encourage him/her to do nothing I only stated that you statment isn't true I have never heard of a backlisted att phone ...not to be confused with sprint or verizion that does render your phone useless..iv personally seen people lose their phone get the replacement and the find the phone they lost in the first place and all they had to do was stick in the new sim card into their old cell phone and low and behold it works with no problems ...I don't care what you think about them pictures but the fact is your wrong becauseiv seen it with my own 2 eyes several times ....just because the law says we can't smoke weed doesn't mean that we don't ... Rules on paper simply put there to scare people ....and what's the point anyway you kno the guy obviously know what's he's talkin about with the insurance and what he's going to do

Regardless, If he wants to take the chance at fixing it himself, he can do so. He would be saving at least half of the cost or more asurion would charge as a premium ( $199)
FYI HTC VIVID Replacement Screen:
http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/...-Screen-Replacement-Parts-OEM-Repair-Fix.html
And thats $65 for just the replacement screen.
95% of the people registered on XDA could replace the Vivid screen with no issue and the right tools, and i am probably not exaggerating.
I dont know if you follow the news but Sen. Chuck Schumer ( NY-Democrat ) is very close to striking a change early 2012 as to how Asurion handles claims universally in the US for all insured phones. He supports SOPA unfortunately.
Make sure when you order the replacement screen ,it comes with the double sided tape attached

8125,
That's the LCD, I just need the screen. I'll probably get it off eBay. Yeah, I really don't want to go the fraud route. It's just a ripoff that I have to pay $199 for a new one. But, then again... It's an insurance company. Its their job to rip you off.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?...my screen is only showing colour lines with black lines in between on the top half of the screen only, thanks.
Edit: I am 99% pretty sure the LCD is cracked.
It'll cost you a fair amount of £ to fix that. You'll have to replace the display and the glass (since it's zero gap, and therefore they're in one piece).
See if there are any service centers near you and get a quote from them, but it'll be expensive. It'll almost be cheaper to just buy a new device (on contract, that is)

I have been to a few repair shops around my area, I got quotes for £180, £150 and £100.
One guy said it has to be opened internally and replaced.

Happened to me, Samsung replaced it, they took FIVE MONTHS to do it but they did (After almost entering with a process against the company). They said it costs R$700 to fix it here, but the phone alone (new) on the stores is about R$850.
Well, five months of wait, i won't buy a Samsung phone again, and the screen they placed looks **** (It its REALLY over-saturated, and darker colours look so **** that you can't imagine.)
Have you enabled this?
I managed to get my phone fixed, it cost me £160...I have my old screen unit if anyone requires it?

I am! i just found out you can do that!
They give you two options and i chose the latter...
which is, I pay 175 Plus a 500 dollar security hold,
they send me a new phone, i then send mine to them,
they assess the damage, then take the 500 dollar
hold off my account.
so for 175 i get a new phone.
Best Deal Ever compared to 275 to have someone just
replace the screen.
Thanks though guys/girls!
What should i do. Return it or replace it. I got it from india amazon. And it came oreo 8.1 preinstalled. So is it weird.
I do not have that issue. Check your guarantee terms and proceed with them or your seller what should you do.

I had similar issue with View 10 once. They had sent me a set with face unlock etc already pre installed.
My gut told me something is wrong... Turned out to be a 2nd hand unit sold as new by Amazon.
Got myself a Refund ASAP...

In my case i just asked for replacement on amazon. The customer service tested mine through an app n then he initiated the process of replacement but the units are not available to the seller so i asked again for refund and they just gave it to me.

In that case if its less than 10 days old i will suggest u to get replacement or refund. Bcz i think amazon is recirculating the same device to other customers. Even if u r having the device more than 10 days just give it a try
