Hello xda-developers,
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy mini. The problem is that its screen is scratched (I really don't know how did this happen). Does anyone have any idea to make them disappear? Here is a picture of my phone.

Thanks for your replies.
Hello guys,
Thanks for your replies. I realised that I need to change the front cover of my phone. I can find one from ebay but the problem is that I don't know how to do that. I heard that it is dangerous to damage your phone. Can somebody suggest a site where I can get more information about that? Thanks in advance.
any mobile accessories shop owner will replace it
It costs too much!
Well I went to the samsung service and he needs 50 euros! It's too expensive can you suggest any other idea?

i'm sure that google will help you with finding needed info
according to Indian price it should only cost 2-4 euros
I think I'm going to fix it by another way.
I asked another service about it and he needs 35 euros. Well it's still expensive and I am afraid I will not fix it. If you guys can tell me another idea otherwise I'll give it up.
I really hate those scratches, they are so annoying.
just use some whitening toothpaste and microfibre cloth, rub small amount of toothpaste on the scratch in circular motion. it will take a lot of time, but i assure you that it will work. and it have to be microfibre.
Hm I'll try that but will this do any damage on my phone's screen?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda app-developers app
It didn't work.
I tried to remove the scratches with toothpaste but it didn't work.
I am gonna do that by myself.
I am gonna risk it and change the front cover of my phone by myself. I've seen videos on youtube on how to do it so I think if I follow carefully the instructions on how to do it I'll succeed.
Thanks for your help guys!

no its not jsut a screen protector, its for the whole body. basically screen protector material but it also covers the battery cover, sides, back, edges, etc.
I'd be curious to hear from someone who's tried this as well, how does it feel, does it make the phone look cheaper? Some un-professional pics would be nice too.
well i took the plunge and ordered one lol for 18 bucks
ill let you guys know when i get it

i have the same protector on my ipod touch. it's rather good, not perfect but good.
well this seems similar to the body gaurdz and the invisishield. it is a pain to put on with the spraying and all, and it seems i wasnt careful enoguh. a lot of dust got on it so it looks UGLY rite now. but quality wise it seems good, seems tough and doesnt get scratched.
If anyone could provide pics of their full body protectors in action I would really appreciate it. I know I can see pics of it where they are sold, but I'm interested in un-professional pics.
it was horribleeeee lol i sucked at putting it on it ruined my x1. it felt like it went from a 800 dollar fone to a cheap free fone. its probabyl cause of my lack of skill putting it on:

basicly what you see there is whats underneath the 5 buttons on the bottom on the HD2. Atached to that should be whats underneath the rest of the HD2 (a large curcit board so to speak) FUBAR in my opinion.
IM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU BRO!!!
So sorry so sorry.
I know it sucks. I know.

I have suffered same thing before. I had to buy hd2 for parts just to replace!
It's very easy to try and remove mainboard without lifting latch for terminal. I had already taken mine apart three times before I forgot about it on fourth try and I heard a "pop"...I **** my pants, cried and got to looking to buy one for replacement parts.
I am currently looking to buy hd2's so let me know if you want to part with it.

Rule #1. Don't ever give your phone to a pissed off person... exhibit A attached.
Instead of replacing it with a new Captivate I went with the HTC Aria.. maybe not the best choice, but I think it will do the trick. I like the size, and GPS actually works out of the box. I plan on frequenting the XDA Aria section.
I'll prob try to sell my busted up Captivate on eBay, for anyone that might have bricked their own phone. Other than the screen the phone seems to work without issue.

Damn that's quite a busted screen :-/
Looks like a gorilla got a hold of that gorilla glass.

That left a mark
hope you had insurance.......
poor , poor cappy...
What's the problem? That'll buff right out!
Wow that pic made me almost cry!
It's like watching a snuff film D:
Edit for helpful-ish answer: Hope you were paying for the insurance =/ I don't know where you'd go about getting replacement glass, and standard manufacturer's warranty won't cover physical abuse like that

Hello forum
I am a Google Nexus 7 user, who accidently dropped the gadget and now the screen is broken. I can see the function inside working all well, no discolouration or tilt or anything else, but the touch is not working anymore. Anyone can suggest a fix ? Because I got it imported in India, so the warranty probably is not applicable in India, besides I don't think hardware damage is covered under warranty.
Any help would be appreciated.
I already miss this amazing device, an ebook reader, a gaming console, a perfect friend.
Thanks for reading

I has suggestion, you can buy the touch screen digitizer or lcd display or full unit together for both lcd and touch screen to repair your google 7.
it is easy to do it, you can find the instruction in youtube.
if you want to find out where to order it, just let me know.

Thanks ! Where to order ? And how much would it cost me ? because I heard in India it is costing me almost 75% to the cost of a new Nexus 7

Sorry to hear about your predicament
Did you use any kind of Cases for your nexus 7?
Did you have any screen protectors on?

I do have a screen guard and a small cover for the tablet. But obviously when it fell, nothing could save it from cracking
Hi,
My Z3C must've randomly lost part of the bottom bezel at some point - I still don't understand why and how.
Phone was always in a TPU bumper case so it can't fall off or out. Must've gotten loose and dropped at some point when I removed the bumper to remove the sim card.

The part that's missing is the edge part between bottom bezel and SIM card flap.
Phone was just sent in for repair for another issue(vibration more had a loose connection) and I got it back without issues..but that part of the bezel is still missing. Didn't mention it when it was repaired in fear of Sony denying a warranty repair.
Fixing it would be 5s job with super glue....so any idea where and how to get that part ?
Did lots of googling but couldn't find anything.
Only other option I could think of would be buying a broken/dead Z3C and ripping that bezel piece off.
youll probably have to get the whole frame
Seems like a waste. The small part that's missing ist just glued on.
Guess I'll have to look for a broken Z3C to get the spare part.
Are there Showroom models of the Z3C ? Like they have in shops sometimes, just the exterior without any electronics inside.
*Edit* Oh ok now I realize what you meant.

Didn't expect the entire frame to be that cheap! Thanks m8.
I have a lot of it but if You live outside EU shipping can be more expensive than those fram on eBay.
I do live in the EU but allready ordered the ebay bezel.
Thanks though, might help out the next guy.
No problem. I have a lot of it cause whole frame is a trash after changing whole screen using original part. Anyway good advice for You - change only bumpers You need, not the whole frame. If You don't have knowledge hot to remove screen safety just skip it.
