I'm not sure broken glass would fall under warranty, as to break it means you need some sort of impact, and warranty doesn't cover clumsiness.

I read someone's post who said that glass on his XZ cracked when he putted it on cold surface (like kitchen workplace of leather sofa) after phone was hot!?
Maybe that can help you to keep the warranty

How did you broke it?

No. Warranty doesn't cover accidents, and as it was in your pocket it's probably impact damage, so Sony will make you pay. This is an insurance issue.

That crack looks like an accident. You hit the phone, or stand on it or something like that, not knowing it. So in my opinion zero chances to change it by warranty.

Wow. $9.99 for the good-looking HTC keyboard instead of the fugly AT&T version we Tilt owners got stuck with. Too bad I don't have the nerve to dismantle my phone to make the swap.

I already have the White cover back as it was provided when I purchase the phone
would a sticker be okay?

i would keep it in black, as black phones are proven to give the illusion that the phone screen is bigger

I havent bought that white glass and i do not know anything about the seller. Im simply just providing the links.
i want one too
What u need is a new Digitizer. So, just type "white digitizer for galaxy ace", and 'uncle g00gle' will show you the rest. But remember, for a the best result, i thing you have to buy a new white home button too.
it easy to disassemble and to assemble, just ask "miss y0utube".
That looks great I want it

Be very aware that is not easy do change the front cover... Even following youtube videos u should be very careful.

[Q] An Idea to make your phone yours.

Hello all,
Now this is a very simple question.
Since the Sony Xperia Z has a glass back would it be possible to engrave a picture onto the back part of the phone?.

There are some stickers available for the back of the XZ. That's about it right now.
There are also some sites that let create your own sticker, but I forgot them, so can't really see if the XZ is available on those.
Edit: I meant a site like this

Only supports myPhone and Samsung phones...

There are etching solutions that you brush on and create a froted glass like effect which you can actually feel. This does damage the glass so it's not recommended. What might be an idea, is to buy a spigen tempered glass protector and use the solution on that.
no guarantee it will work, and im not responsible for any damage, but this is the idea

Of course it would be, but it will cost you a lot of money since it is very hard glass (hard to engrave), jeopardise the strength of the rear glass and void your warranty
Watch the video and understand the concept of tempered glass.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FJUD5WB_ko&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Basically when you engrave something in the glass it will lose most of it's (strength). So I don't advice you to do so. Aluminium and plastic are a totally different story and wouldn't be as affected as the tempered glass when doing things like engraving.
Stickers as someone above me mentioned seems like the best option.

Once glass is tempered it can't be drilled or cut so engraving is out of the question I'd say.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
U can drill it with a very low drilling speed and feed, or it will break like normal glass.
But this will dramatically reduce back glass durability.
If I still have access to that cnc machine, I would be able to make my own back panel.
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app
Sorry for the late response I've been busy. Thanks for the ideas I think I'm going to go with getting a clear plastic case and engrave that. I could probably do some sick effects going that route as well.

Washing your phone - Be careful of the oleophobic screen!

We all want to take a Galaxy S5 and start washing it under the sink. Okay, fine.
But please remember to not use any detergents, window cleaner or any other chemicals. Use only water and a soft terry cloth towel. The oleophobic coating on your screen can be damaged by soaps. This means your screen will show fingerprints much sooner than it would by simply wearing out over time.
You can re-apply an oleophobic coating using 3rd party solutions such as that found on Amazon. But most/all 3rd party oleophobic coatings have mixed reviews.
So, no soap for your S5!
Did you really create a thread for this? Jesus talk about upping a post count. Nobody here wants to go wash their phone with soap...

I've seen it mentioned by 5-10 different posters so far.
It's a water resistant phone.
Heck, I know I'm going to do it (but without soap). hahah
But I'm glad you were able to increase your post count by finding something to ***** about. :good:

You should down your post count buddy, it's not clear for everyone just what kind of liquids the S5 is resistant against.
Yes. you are right. Sometime i see some technician use liquid in on phone.. Thanks for suggestion..

I have a whole stack of dedicated phone cleaning wipes which I use once every month to clean dust/grease off my phone. I have used them on my tablets bare screen and so far no ill effects after over a year of use.

If you have a case on the phone does that matter? In terms of water-resistance.

NO, but its important to check to make sure the backing is secured correctly. With a case you might not even know it came undone.

Question S21 ultra back replacement

Hi everyone,
Unfortunately my phone dropped and the back glass cover and primary camera glass are shattered.
I can change it by myself (from years i can repair my phones without sending it and wait days and days) but now i cannot find any replacement parts on the net.
Can anyone help me please?
The part is like this: https://www.samsung-parts.net/epages/Samsung-Parts.sf/en_GB/?ObjectID=1212377
Thank you!
You sadly will need to go through samsung or see if you can still add protection plan to carrier and then do claim few days after since you damaged it so early into launch. All the parts are going into devices still and nobody is parting out phones yet. Cant even get replacement sim trays etc from china yet.

Thank you so much for the reply. The only thing to do now is turn off the phone, turn on my note20u, and using it until in my supplier sites show on stock the replacement

On the site that i linked in the first post.
Original parts and accept paypal.
For me here in Italy is the best and reliable site
ItsTek on Amazon store I have found to be very good before with genuine Samsung parts. Bought two S20 and S20 Ultra rear glass from them before. I think you'll struggle for parts though on the S21 until at least a few more months.

Hey,
Thought I would pipe up and say I dropped my S21U after 5 days of having it ([email protected], i know) but got a replacement back from these guys: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/fonejoy - genuine part and quite easy to fix yourself if you have patience.
