Anyone knows how to replace that part of RAZR I, the glass one, where is located the camera, flash, etc?
I would try to buy the replacement part but don't know how to change.
They sell the phone's whole back part on ebay. I can't get the link right now, but it only costs like twenty bucks, it's all a matter of replacing the whole back. Just unscrew the torx heads and you should be able to do it. I can't guarantee it'll work, but it's probably your best shot. Good luck!

Hi.
The glass is glued with a dubbled-sided adhessive. It is no problem to remove it. You just have to be carefull around the speaker, not to remove the speakergrill.
I would recommend to use a plastic tool to avoid scratches on the outer housing.

I'm not sure if I need to buy the whole back part or just the glass one.
Look at my phone (the image is inverted cause I took using a mirror:

I've found this part. do you know if I can repair with just this one?
Look this "For Motorola Razr i XT890 Battery Door Glass Lens":

In fact, I don't know how to remove just the glass part.
I tried to remove using a small plastic tool, but I think it would took my a lot of hours to remove, since the glass is very.. "cracky"

Here's the link. If you really don't want to replace the whole thing maybe you can just pry off the glass part and stick it on the old cover with some double sided tape.

back cover replacement
I'm having the same problem with mine? did you managed to solve the problem? if yes, could you detail how? I have bought a whole back replacement from Aliexpres but it's really cheap plastic instead of metal bezel around the kevlar...
Think of cleaning the lens thoroughly before gluing the glass!

have you replaced your glass already? did you used the double sided tape? if you bought only the glass was it made of thick glass or just a silly plastic? I have a complete back cover replacement and thinking of taking down the glass and have mine replaced with that. But I don't have the double sided tape. will it work with glue (i.e. have the same height with the rest of the back of the phone)?
Yes I did; only replaced the broken glass part over lens, flash. In the set I got there was a glass (no plastic), double-sided tape, it was piece of cake replacing - except that I did not clean the lens good enough, got since ugly pics with spots on..

How did you remove all of the glass off the back and where is the best place to get the glass from?
Thank you

Well, basically I used a sharp knife/cutter. My glass was quite broken, so I took it out piece by piece. You just have to be careful with around the camera and speaker.
I also have a spare back cover with glass. If you want I can help you. I am not using it anymore, as I sold my phone.
Glass removed with a pincet, glass just put in place -finds its way.

This is a HUGE oversight by LG, as when the back case is on the pictures are kind of contrasty or wishy washy. With the case OFF the pictures are sharp and vibrant.
So My question is, has anybody removed and replaced the clear plastic on thier back case ? If so what did you replace it with ?
dude just clean the damn cover glass...... alcohol and cotton is the trick.
OP is right. The pictures without the back on are 10 times better. I think it is half to do with the plastic being a poor filter lens and half that it picks up fingerprints and smudges really easily.
I'd prefer not to carry a swab kit everywhere I go in case I want to get a decent picture.
seems that removing the back cover is one of the phones main features at the moment
Same issue as when I had my nokia 5800, pictures taken with the rear cover off looked better than with the rear cover on.
They should of used a proper glass lense than some cheap plastic.

i will try it when i get a new battery cover but now i wont dmg my one
I'm thinking of cutting a UV filter down to size and replacing mine. As no matter how much you clean that plastic, the pictures are always contrasty.
does anybody know if there are CHEAP replacement backs for sale anywhere. I do really mean CHEAP so gotta be under £10, I've seen them for £20+ which is too dear to buy just to try and replace the plastic.
everybody that knows a little about optics will tell you the same, LG made a huge design compromise/sacrifice there and I just can't see why they chose to. particularly because there's absolutely no need for the lower casing to go all the way up. relocate the SD card slot and they could've done with half the height and gave the lens some decent housing. ah well... for every light there's a shadow. at least this way the lens/chip gets some astonishing amount of light even in low light conditions, but the trade off in raw picture quality is huge.
Easy to fix, just take drilling machine and make a small hole, I will do it but cant find the drill

i was thinking about removing the plastic outside, and put an optic cut piece of glass and put it in the inside of the back cover so it protect lens, but doesn't get diry easily...
what you think? will it work?
Could you in theory get a screen protector that covers the lens area and use that to repel fingerprints and dirt? I saw this in another thread and it looks like you get a protector for the lens cover

I had the same idea and made an awesome mod! ^^

Well, no, i havent done this on purpose, my o2x fell down and the glass broke.
Yes, its glass. And its glued. I had to pull off the glass in little pieces, maybe its easier when its heated.
Then i put black nail polish on it. Not really beautifull, but its ok, and im looking for a new cover anyway.
Any hints where i can get this? thx
Just go to your local Swarovski shop and get a plate of 200gr clear glass, then go to your local Diamond cutting shop and tell them to cut it so it fits... and there you go.. it will only cost you around 3500 euros but what the hell, you will have astonishing pictures after that...

right... im thinking about the dust hitting the sensor
Just clean it once a week with mild de-greasing solution. Regular glass cleaner works for camera and glass (pull back cover off, take care of inside too), I use even Tuff Stuff foam, microfibre cloth and cleaning wipes and it's all good. Just finish it with soft cotton cloth on lens and "glass"
My wish would be to have a slide cover over the lens, then you would not need a glass in front of the lens. If there should be a third party back cover with a slide cover, I would buy it yesterday!
Hi guys,
there is a good way to remove scratches from our phone display?
I've a big scratch visible also with the display powered on....and this is annoing for me....
Any suggestion?
Depends on the scratch. I've had a pretty big one before, but managed to get rid of it by rubbing it with a wet soft tissue paper. As long as its not a dent (like a deep one that does change the surface of the screen), you can remove it if you wipe it gently but strong enough

You've removed scratches with a "tissue paper" it's right?
I didn't believe it was possible
My one is enought deep to see is with display lighted up...generating some refractions...
You could try and polish it out, but you might make the surrounding area bad too. Best of leaving it I reckon.

is able to remove scratches from gorilla glass?
I wouldn't expect it to work, no.
Yes, that, seriously. I told you, as long as it doesn't leave a dent, it is possible. I dropped my phone to marble surface, and it left a pretty long scratch. It looked like the glass was actually damaged, but turns out it wasn't. So I had to rub it hard enough for it to dissappear.
The glass itself is scratch resistant, so unless the glass cracks or gets damaged, you can pretty much wipe off anything above it without leaving trace.
Now if the scratch we're talking about now is an actual damage to the glass, just clean it and leave it.

You might wanna try this or this, maybe one of the methods works.
Maybe there are some screen protectors that fill the gaps or something? Not sure.
I hate not having some type of screen protector on my phone, and really didn't want to wait for better solutions. Whitedome was just too expensive and i tend to break protectors often. So i went a head and tried out loca glue with a clear glass protector. The glass protector had adhesive on the outter edges. prolly why i had a lil bit of bubbles on mines on the upper right. Came out not bad imo. Responsiveness is great.

probably if you applied heat, the glue would melt, but depending on the glue of course. I am curious to know.
I would cover the earpiece with tape or something, really easy way to avoid getting loca glue in it.

Thanks to the info. Just completed my installation of a tempered glass with LOCA and used 70% Alcohol and worked wonders to remove excess.
Looks great, any dot matrix on the screen you used? hows the clarity?
I'm in the UK and have the Whitestone kit. It has one spare tube of glue. I assume you could use the kit with any clear tempered glass? Happy to sell it for £12 inc shipping in the UK. Paypal payment. First PM gets it.
If the tempered glass breaks how difficult is it to remove loca and the glass from the phone
Is there any video showing the process?
Anyone know of an amazon TGSP in the UK without Dots?
how long do you keep the phone in the UV light?
interesting, thanks for sharing

After watching this I'm not so sure about using Loca 1000.

We're not talking about the Whitestone i think everyone is interested in knowing how easy or hard it is to remove loca 2500 vs 1000. Who knows or cares what Whitestone uses.

Excuse the f*** out of me - he was asking about removing the Loca glue from the screen when the protector was taken off, and since they use a grade of Loca I'm willing to bet the outcome is the same where the glue stays on the screen protector as long as you can get the screen protector off OK.
Grow up and use inference.
Edit: And pay attention to what question was answered, not just what was said.
I'm surprised at how good this screen protector is. It comes with a plastic guide that goes on your phone and makes sure the glass lines up perfectly. It comes with 2 kits that include wet and dry cleaning cloths, dust removal stickers, and the glass screen protectors.
This package also includes a protective sticker for the back of the phone. I'm using a case, so I'm not going to use the sticker, but it's nice that they included it.
Finger print scanner works like normal. My phone case fits like normal and I can barely see that there's a screen protector on my phone. This is a way better purchase than I expected. Much higher quality than I expected.
The only thing I'm unsure of is the protector for the camera. I haven't been able to test it out in daylight to see if it shows up in the photos. Only 1 lens protector is included. My case sort of protects the lenses, so worst case I just remove the lens protector.

Do you guys realize it's kinda pointless to use screen protectors on Gorilla Glass 5, not to mention camera lens which is covered with sapphire glass.. you wouldn't be able to scratch it even if you tried.
i am more worried about dropping it, that amoled costs about half the phone in here

Thanks for this tip, exactly as you described. Usually these things end up in the bin. Didn't even need to re do finger print , no rainbowing, full adhesive. Top notch. Sacked of camera piece as didn't take but wasn't bothered anyway.
I can't appreciate on the pictures, is it with frame or clear edges?

Glass is all clear, no frames.
I also have this screen protector. No need to manual adjust the screen protector just put the guide on your phone then place the screen protector. Voila, perfect fit!
Best combination for me is this screen protector + xundd beatle case.

Hi all !
Also bought this glass kit and must say first impression is positive compared with hydrogel foil and some noname glass.
Transparent, no fingerprint, great feeling under finger, case friendly cut BUT view screwed when wear polarised sunglasses.
I have had the phone for a week now. It's a nice phone but I'm paranoid about scratching the camera. I spent a couple of hours looking at camera protectors and am concerned about image distortion with flash. I see a lot of complaints about that, though I do see many posts saying that there is no problem. I was thinking that a case with built-in camera protection would be great. I saw this:
https://www.amazon.com/Nillkin-CamS...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=JV55AX2C6Y5TM9QFN4AP
It has a door that slides over the camera when not in use. It looks like a thin case though, and that it might have a problem with actually protecting the phone from drops. I also would have concerns that sliding the door over the camera might actually scratch it if there is any grit under the door.
Does a good case with camera protection even exist?
Just get a case with a good camera lip and pick up a cheap 3 dollar Dbrand skin for the camera to protect against scratches...
That's what I did....forget the glass protectors...

Thanks. I also found this, but having anything resting on the camera glass that could shift around at all seems like a really bad idea.

I tend to shy away from cases like this bc dirt, debris can sneak in there given enough time....and may end up scratching the glass.

You can pick up just the camera skin and it'll do the trick for scratch protection...

Samsung has a lense protector built into the rear cover.
Simply find a good case that has raised edges around the cam module.
Try to keep your fingers off of it ie don't use it to grab the phone out of your pocket. Clean occasionally with a dry microfiber cloth.
I've been using the Bolt case for my 10+, easy to grip, great drop protection and doesn't attract dirt.
The phone's cam lense cover doesn't have even a slight scratch after over a year... and I live in the desert.

There's a layer of adhesive on the protector so the metal never actually touches the glass.
This is the case I'm using. It has total protection for cameras: https://www.shopmoment.com/products/galaxy-thin-case/note-20-ultra
