Hello,
Need some help, I bought a Z1 but the back had cracks and a bit of shattered glass in it - I bought a replacement
back cover with the adhesive on it, but I cannot get the old one off (after using the hairdryer, a suction pad wouldnt get it up either).
Its like the back screen film protector is peeling up but the rest of it is staying put. If I can't get this done I will take it to the shop
tomorrow but it'd be much more convienient if I could do it myself.. Or would it be the best thing to do?
I've included a picture too..
Thanks in advance

So one week into having my incredible, it drops on the sidewalk (2days before my rugged case came in) and the glass cracked/shattered. the lcd is still completely intact. I was looking at this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00424O7JK/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A3MB8KL7VKZGWY . And was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. I have replaced other screens in other electronic devices, but was looking for any tips specific to the inc or any recommendations on a replacement glass.
I bought mine off ebay and swapped it out. My opinion is to spend the money and buy the whole front housing. Removing the broken glass from the front housing was a MAJOR pain. If you are insistant, make sure you have a good straight razor and flathead screw driver for removing the sticky residue. Head to the local hardware store and get some double-sided tape. If you look in the Epoxy area, i found some double sided rubber material, like what they use for sticking pamphlets together, only a lot stronger. If you dont get it sealed real well, be prepared for lint to get between the screen and LCD. That is the major problem i ahve on mine. Like i said, definitely worth the money to buy the full front housing.
Thanks for the advice. I saw on some videos what a pain it was to get the old glass and adhesive out, but the cheapest I could find the glass with housing already attached was $99 vs $28 for the glass. I wish I would've seen your post prior to ordering. Oh well, we shall see. Thanks also for the advice on the double sided tape. I was looking at it online, but didn't thing to look in just a local harware store for it. I think i'm going to try some medical adhesive remover for the old glue, the only problem is I'm going to have to be really careful around the four buttons on the bottom. It is nice to see that someone has done it successfully though.
You can get the glass and the bezel seperate, but make sure the bezel has adhesive on the entire surface or else you'll get dust in the screen... I fixed mine though and it looks great. Ill post pics later
Hello , today i noticed a small dot on the back of the phone that looks like "someone" pushed a needle through the plastic protector of the phone all the way through the glass panel . I don't know how this happened because my phone is in case mate though case and it still got the protector from the factory on the back . I didn't drop bend or other thinghs like this with the phone . I dont really know how thik is the protector so it might just be the protector damaged or it could be both the protector and the glass . I still have waranty on the phone and i want to know if the back of the phone will crack on it's own will the warranty fix the phone ?
Hi everyone, my Z3c has a scratched camera cover, I can no longer take pictures as everything looks blurry. I've read that I can buy a replacement for the cover, but my question is if to do this, I also need to change the backcover.
Yes, You need to change whole back door cause camera glass lens in glued to back door and if You gonna try to peel it off most likely back door will breaks. Anyway back door replacement costs 5$ and original one around 20$.
how many backglasses have u replaced?
0, bought phone 10 days after it was relased. Are you playing football with it ( no offense ) ? Using original samsung case and no problems !
whahhaah no offence taken,no once i dropped it.. and twuce i didnt notice anything and it just was cracked hagaga
also on my 3rd, just broke the 2nd, dont even know how
Does someone know if there are any backpieces made of plastic or alluminium?
Aluminium: probably not, as the wireless charging feature won't work with a metal back.
glass is the best choice, it wont go opaque like plastic, no scratches and when my glass is full of shatter lines i kinda feel like i fit in with the iphone people nawmeen
anyone that has the back glass replaced how's the waterproof seals holding up? I got mine second hand and it has replaced back panel since it has no IMEI or serial on the back panel.

Using the clearview cover without any screen protectors.
Doing well except the edges that are scratched by the cover itself:crying::crying::crying::crying:
One long line going from the USB port to the volume buttons and I didn't drop it. Might replace it soon. I got a case after it was cracked.
Had this phone since release always has a case on it, dropped it twice on concrete, a few times on my wooden floor and one time down the stairs. Nothing on my phone, but I have small hair line scratches on the screen from I guess putting it in my pocket and what not. Can't win them all I guess sigh.
galaxy s7 active here.... haha no issues so far.
but for us that front plastic "anti shatter" screen feels like cheap plastic and scratches easily- tamped glass on top makes the phone look GORGEOUS especially the screen now and adds massive protection.
although Ive seen this phone nicked and busted on the sides pretty good for used on ebay.... i haven't noticed anything like that with the drops I've done so far.
Hi, I sadly cracked my back camera glass, i dont know how but it just happened, i think i'm able to repair by myself but i don't want to loose my warranty so i'm planning to send back to Xiaomi assistance but i don't really know if they will charge me a lot...you know glass is glass (it costs 2$)...my question is: Should i go throw assistance?why? Or do it by my self and void the warranty?(will be void?)
Looking at the back of my mi9, it seems very similar to what I had on my previously owned redmi note 5 ai: the back lens cover is a simple piece of glass that has a thin black double sided adhesive with holes to accomodate the lenses on the back of it. When my redmi note 5 lens glass cracked, I gently broke and removed the rest of it and was able to remove the broken glass and adhesive remains completely and apply a replacement lens glass that cost me close to nothing on aliexpress. It worked great after the repair. If my mi9 glass would break, I would do the same and would never send it to be repaired as the hassle and cost are unnecessary. Think about this and decide for yourself. Good luck!
Edit: a quick search on aliexpress found it for less than 2 USD and it as I expected. See photo.
Very helpfull answer, so how i can remove the glass without open the phone (how you finish to break the glass)? And how to clean? Alchol? Ill attach a pic..
