I've been searching for months already of there are any sites where they sell GS4A backplates. Is there any possible way to acquire a GS4A backplate? (Any color would do for now).

The only way that I know of is to get it as a replacement part through Samsung's or your carrier's warranty. As far as I know, you can't go out and buy the oem one or an aftermarket backcover. I remember reading somewhere in the forums that you can tell AT&T that you broke the plastic clips that snaps the back together and get a replacement for it. Hope that helps! :fingers-crossed:

I bought nexus s from craigslist and got ripped off... Someone sold me a phone without back battery cover. It came with a case and seller was in a hurry so I bought it by inspecting the software.
Can some one help me in buying a cheap case? Nfc is not a problem for me... I just want a 10-15 bucks battery cover...

Call Samsung support. They'll ask for imei and just tell then you broke your battery cover. Then say you heard they sold replacements. They'll check and then they'll sell it to you for $16. Took a little more than a week for me to get one.

lol he probably wasnt actually he in a hurry. it missing the back cover leads me to believe that he probably stole it off a display.

Thanks man! you saved my life. Just called samsung support and had them send me the back cover for $16.23 with free 5-7 days shipping.
I also asked for the warranty on the product and they said that it was till March 2012. I also noticed that the screen has permanent impression of the virtual keyboard on it. First i thought that restoring to factoring settings will fix it but no... I still have the virtual keyboard impressions on the screen. I think it is the problem with the digitizer. They said that they will replace it for free. Now I am gonna have a cool phone once it comes back from Samsung.
Thanks a ton for showing me the way.
Anyhow, one more question, My phone is rooted and is running a custom rom on it, is it still under warranty? I am sure there should be a way to unlock the bootloader and return back to stock ROM, can you show me a thread please... I am gonna search also but I want to make sure I am doing it right before i do it... so that they don't deny me the warranty...
Thanks,
Edit/update: searched and found everything. Returned back to stock. It's so simple with nexus s! Thanks everyone who helped me

Go to samsungs nexus s website, the number will be listed where it says support. You just talk to a rep who will handle everything.

Just google samsung support phone number. It will help if you register your phone on their website before calling because that will save you some time.

The Samsung website is remarkably difficult to decipher when it comes to this. I am fine with mailing my phone somewhere and waiting for a repair, and fine with being billed for the repair -- the USB port broke because I dropped it one too many times with the cable connected -- but I can't figure out who is supposed to take my money and fix the thing! Help?
there are these parts on ebay and other sites. and lots of tutorials on how to change it.

Wow. This never even occurred to me; I never imagined it would be user-replaceable. I guess this must be a fairly common problem.
eBay seems to have them only arrive in a month, Amazon doesn't seem to have them at all. Is there anyone who can deliver this week that you know of? I really don't know where to look for this kind of thing.
I'm sorry I am in a different continent and here in know local phone repair shops who can get it soon for me. Try them in ur area

So I am having trouble finding replacement housing for my VZW Note 2. I have looked up and down, across every forum I could think of, and online on every retailer I could find and nothing has turned up. I have cracked the rim on my Note and would like to replace it. The problem is, I can't find replacements anywhere. I can find plenty of the white housings, but not the grey. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Go search ebay for "Note 2 oem frame" they are about 20 bux

Sprint one isn't work with verizon... Ad it does not have a sim card slot cut out.
Each version has a specific housing. You MUST purchase a Verizon one. Otherwise you could lose cell reception or damage the internals of the phone in some way. There are tiny little contact points for the radio antennas that are on the back frame. Each version has a different location for these antenna.

Just look for a 50% off coupon in one of these threads and go to the Samsung website and you will be done. It's not that complicated.

I need more than the battery door...I need the whole housing. Unless I missed the item on their site, I doubt it's going to be under the accessory section.

I received my LG phone back but it's locked and the disgruntled employee smashed the screen. I'm an note3 owner so I'm clueless to the LG Android platform. What are my best options here? I'm considering replacing the screen myself as I've done before on phones but to get into the phone and everything is not an option I assume.

Wow! What happened? Why did the screen get smashed? I would freaking say something.... you shouldn't have to fix it.
If need be, you can pop the back cover off with a guitar pick, or similar. Its just like a Samsung once you get inside. Remove the battery, remove the rear housing, remove the motherboard, vibrator, antennae, etc.
Yeah I've replaced screens before. Suggestions on cheapest place to order one? Local place wants 160 bucks to replace it lol

Untold? I fired the person for theft of fuel. Some cannot be trusted with a monitored fuel card I guess. Especially when the card is tied to a certain vehicle and they have to use a unique pin at the pump. My 160 out of pocket to repair a phone is chump change when it's a few hundred dollars of fuel

And there it is. Had this happen at my place of employment. Said person was ultimately fired for a 2$ charge. Giving employees G2s to use, nice boss... Lol
Maybe it"s a factor to some, but idc if it's 2 dollars or 2000, cant stand a thief. I can understand the not bothering part as well, if you ever recover the price it will have cost you even more. Some former employee's of mine thought being the boss makes you rich so you wont notice, both are usually idiotic ideas. Why they think i owe them but they owe me nothing is beyond me.

god, until that explanation, i sat here reading this thread as if you sent your phone back to LG to get something fixed, and then an LG employee was disgruntled, broke the screen, and sent it back to you like that.
i'm sure many others read the story the same way, dude..lol you have to be more descriptive..that's why people are all, "you shouldn't have to pay for this, make them pay for it!" as in, make LG pay for something they did.
but obviously now we understand the situation

I was thinking the same exact thing - except that it was a disgruntled Verizon employee who was the culprit.
Never put it past VZW to send out a warranty replacement with issues lol
Once I get this fixed I may use an upgrade from another line to use the g2 as a spare for myself. Are they locked bootloader like my note 3?
