isn't it obvious when you drop glass, it breaks? i dont find this to be a new scientific study. its common sense, should of bought a case or be a more careful person.
sucks to hear what happened to your phone, you can always get it fixed by LG

My back is just fine! Looks gorgeous too... Not dropping it onto concrete helps a lot. iPhone 4's will break in the exact same scenario, you should of known before you bought it.
Sorry about your back glass, but there are 100 threads just like this.

Thanks for making a pointless thread. :/

Perhaps we need a new thread from everyone who has one with nothing broken or scratched.. Maybe then we could finally stop getting these.. it is nothing personal. I am just tired of seeing s new thread every time someone drops or breaks their phone..
I am really sorry for you that you dropped phone but I am really getting tired of everyone blaming the phone. Everyone that bought this knew it has a glass body. Use a case or be careful..
Sucks when things break man... I know. At least you can send it to lg and they will fix it for a fee. Good luck with it. Hope it works out.
So far mine is good. I have a case though and I also keep a transparent shield on the back. I have dropped mine 3 times, once without the case and it is still perfect.

Please use one of the existing Gorilla Glass, scratch, or drop test threads.

P990 bezel!!

I need to replace only the bezel or I've to buy the digitizer also? The phone is full functional but i cannot see it like this any more...

i post it here because its not "accessories" but phone "part"...
if mods want they could move this tread to "accessories"...
thanks anyway

So this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025737 is also considered as accessories now i know that the screen glass is only an accessory and not phone parts :sly:

accessories or parts - it's the same if you ask me
the subforum should get renamed to suit both better
ontopic...
did you try to google/youtube "dismantle lg optimus 2x"?
looks at me that only plastic (bezel) needs to be replaced (judging by the picture you posted), so only buying a new phone "mask" could solve your problem (if it can be bought separately at all)

No you cant, its an aluminum part and its integral with the digitizer.
http://www.wirelesspartsinc.com/lgp990g2xoptimusscreenlcd-1.aspx

yeah, but can't it be disconected from the housing?
so if you can disconnect the digitizer from the housing, the only thing you'll need is something like this

The Bezel is plastic or metal? Does anyone nows for sure?
I don't want to take apart the phone without having the right parts(s) to replace.
I've watched many you tube videos but still no clear answer
Thanks everybody anyway

The review is completely wrong about this. It's plastic finished with a "metallic" paint. I know for sure, as I had to smooth out a couple of small dings on the bezel (similar to the photo in the OP, but not as bad). It feels like an ABS when you work it with tools.

Build Quality

is the xperia z really this easy to bend?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNF14T5o-8E

That's because of the type of glass used for the case.
It needs to be flexible so it doesn't shatter easily.
I think it's actually pretty cool.

as long as it doesn't stay bent like the iphone 5, i guess it is pretty good.

WOw! That's pretty cool but scary. hahaha. It's scary thinking that it would break

impressive

I call optical illusion lol glass doesnt bend like that.
If it is infact legit, then I want this phone even more.

I don't know maybe someone with a XZ can test it

what a bend!
but will it affect the chips inside the phone or weaken the phone structure?
seems like just a little force is needed to bend it, most people put their phone in the pant's pocket, its gonna bend easily whenever we move since the phone is quite huge

Hmm if it is really that flexible, than you are pretty safe when you drop the phone, it wil just spread the shock over the whole chasis.

Shock test by Sony rep who claims it uses Dragontrail Glass.
EDIT: Not worth watching actually, it's a pretty lame 'shock test'. Highlight being the rep saying that the screen will "remain calm" when banged about.

I was just about to post this, to me it looks like an optical illusion, too.

i have my xperia Z here and it really bends similar to the video. But i don't see it as a negative point, because it is really shatterproof because of that.

If you do, then you would be having a Samung galaxy "arc" i guess !!

i think this might be a good point cause imagine putting a phone this big on your back pocket and you sit on it..its gona help if its going to bend a little..

cracked screen !!!

Has anyone else had problems with a their screen being easily damaged , just knocked the phone off a chair with a drop of about 1 foot to a wooden floor and have popped the back case and cracked the screen !!!!!!:crying:

Wow the build quality seems to be really disappointing, but I guess you cant expect much from a 350$ device

Wow sucks to be you ! That's some bad luck, had my n4 since launch not a scratch or crack.
I doubt it has a weak screen more a badly angled small fall, lesson here is get a case asap and be careful.
I know the feeling dropped my girls nexus s one week after she got it,she was irate !

I rock all my devices without cases.
I'm OCD to the extent that I don't put them down on tables without a napkin or cloth of some sort first (yes...THAT OCD).
I could resell everything I've ever had as "mint" if I chose to.
Cases suck. Be an adult and treat your $X00 device with some respect.

This. I have NEVER cracked a screen on any of my smartphones, not because they all had good build quality but because i take care with my gadgets. For example before i got my case for the Nexus 4 i would not put it down on a table without a cloth underneath.

Sorry to hear that thats crazy is it too much to ask if u can pay a photo of it?

Simple physics guys..
Glass will shatter if it hits the ground hard. Don´t forget you don´t own a simple phone anymore like a Nokia 3310 Your smartphones are actually very sensitive mini computers.
Gorilla Glass may prevent the glass from becoming scratched very easy, it will never prevent it from breaking though.

This is hard to read. I have an S2 that's I've dropped many times from hip level, no case, and the screen has yet to crack.
I definitely bought a case for this one because no matter how careful I am I can't keep my phone from dropping.

samsung continues to pay good, huh op? "screen being easily damaged" sounds very legit; when i broke my phone screen the first idea is write "easily damaged" (note the "easily", lol) on one of the most famous developers forum where i registered with 0 post. Yeah, good try. :angel:

My point was that the S2 has a gorilla glass and it took many falls without cracking. T barely has any scratches after 2 years too.

Now random cracking is an issue, but even 2 inch toughened (laminated) glass will break if it hits the ground along its edges/corners because the stress distribution is concentrated there.

I obviously agree with your first statement but why do people always have to bring up the iPhone to compare things to. How about an HTC One, or a Samsung Galaxy S4 or an LG G2? People think if an iPhone does something then we can just accept it. I would expect an iPhone to break. It is built by underage kids and is known to get damaged easily regardless of what Apple tells us.

Budddy, Gorilla Glass doesn't make your phone shatter-proof, it's just protecting your phone against scratches.

I find it really disrespectful when people talk down on people that drop their phones and say they should be more careful.
The reality is we are all human! human's make mistakes! Some make less than others, but we all make mistakes. If you have never tripped, said the wrong thing, accidentally dropped something, well then congratulations you are a perfect person! But no need to put down others.

Holy crap, screen cracked!

I was out mowing the lawn and had it on while I was using the weed whipper. Got done and looked down and there was a huge crack across the screen. Apparently the screen is quite brittle. Note to self not to have it on for anything that would be classified as work. My Sony Smartwatch 2 was bulletproof.

They Play Store said they couldn't do anything about it and guided me towards Samsung. I contacted Samsung and it sounds like a 50/50 shot of them warrantying it. If they don't cover it (which I suspect they're going to say), it'll cost about $70.
Now of course, I'll be without it for 10 or so days. :crying:

About 90% of it. I told them I was mowing the lawn and when I got done, I noticed a crack in the screen. Told them I didn't feel anything hit the watch and it wasn't dropped in any way (of which both comments are completely true). I just didn't mention weed whipping.

I want to know what they decide to do!
I knew from looking at it that the flat screen wasn't going to necessarily be a good thing. The Galaxy Gear has a nice curved screen and seems less prone to cracking.
Oy.

Well, lesson learned, they'd only be willing to replace the screen the cost of $161.83. So, that's pretty much at the cost of the device. Their policy is never to cover screen replacement regardless of cause. Even if they have a weak defect in your screen and you just magnified the defect, they don't cover it.
Anyone know of options outside of Samsung Support that can repair this device at a more reasonable cost?

Is it worth a try, yes, but no, I don't really expect them to replace it for free, but c'mon, $161.83 to replace it? The thing cost $199 new. They could at least be reasonable with it. They originally quoted $70 for screen replacement over the phone and when they received it and looked at it, decided $161 was the going rate? I asked if they'd be willing to split it, but they were a no-go.
