My camera lens has cracked. I know it can be peeled off, but I want to try to find a replacement. Does anyone know where I could order this part to put it back on myself? Ive done quite a bit of looking on google, and havent found anything solid.
Thanks!
OEM HTC Droid Incredible Camera $22.99
Only problem is it looks like you have to buy a minimum of 3.. cheap enough that you could probably sell the other 2 on Ebay or to someone on here who wants a spare..
If you look at the other cameras they sell, they are the photo units themselves, not the lens. I would say 22 bucks is more likely the price for the camera unit. Very nice find though!
Maybe you can call them and findout if they info on that.. odd that they wouldnt have the lens when they have almost everything else..

A coworker of mine had his lens cover "push in" to the housing and VZW replaced it for him.
Well I don't have insurance, and the lens is cracked, not just pushed in.
He didn't have insurance either...
What do you have to lose by calling VZW and asking them? A wasted 5 minutes?
they even replaced my bricked phone for free with overnight shipping......
I got the red development cover off EBay. It came with a new back plate that has red buttons and a silver camera ring.
I'm not sure if I'm going to try replacing it or not... But would have an extra lens cover if I decide not to.
If it has the lens and all still in it I will gladly paypal ya for it.
Looks like that globaldirect place added a part.. this coujld be it if you are still looking for it.

That looks to be the part. I'm ordering 2 and will update with what they are exactly.
can you update with what that part is exactly? i'm thinking about trying to change mine out and would be nice to know exactly what i'm getting before ordering. i e-mailed them but haven't gotten a response yet...
mainly i'm interested in knowing does it come with the glass too, or is it just the bezel?
Anyone find a camera lens cover glass part yet?
Got the lenses in finally. Sorry it took so long, I was out of town on business for a bit. The glass lenses are included with the bezels, but there is no foam bumper like the stock lens. I keep my phone in the Speck case so that really isnt an issue. The lenses are protected by a plastic film which was nice. If anyone has any questions let me know. One concern i do have is glass seems to be off center on one of the bezels i received. I am going to contact them about that.
Any updates? Mine fell off but the camera still functions well. As much as I love the phone, I'm beginning to see just how cheap it is.
it seem like my DINC camera lens are coming offing too. if i pressed little bit harder, it will popped right inside.....
I have a loose lens, as well...
Love the Dinc...hopefully the dinc2 will be a little better quality...
If you have a tiny bit of skill you can make one out of any thin piece of clear plastic. Grab an old boombox or phone or something you don't use anymore with clear plastic and then grab your file and get to work. Free fix.
hi,
I have a crack line on my Samsung Captivate screen and I've been researching on how to replace the front lens without replacing the entire LCD assembly because to be fair the LCD is still good and all that needs replacing is the front glass.
Anyone seen anything or know anything about disassembling the LCD module?
i believe its all one unit glued together. thats why none of the ATT boys have been able to remove or scratch off the ATT logo
75 to 139 bucks on ebay
but like glue can be seperated right? Like has anyone tried giving it the heatgun treatment? I'd do mine but I dont have a replacement yet so I don't dare try
not recommended, with that kind of heat the plastic wraps and it will not fit anymore, change the whole screen, its the easiest way
well... that pretty much kills it...... i'll most prob buy a replacement LCD. But I am genuinely curious about it and I guess when the new AMOLED arrives I guess I'll have something to play around with......
anyone tried dissolving the glue?
well I smashed my lens on front of my screen and I notice that they sell the lens only on ebay now, has anyone found a way to check the lens only yet?
I dropped my Samsung Focus and broke the screen glass. The touch screen works fine and i think only the outer screen glass has to be replaced.
I have searched on internet and found DIY repair videos to replace the LCD screen, but couldn't find any info about replacing the outer glass alone. But read its pretty hard to seperate the glass from LCD and replace it !!!
The LCD screen is costing around 120$ and the outer glass is costing 10-16$. I do not want to spend more unnecessarily if i can find a way to replace the outer glass myself.
Also, Samsung Focus is not oficially released here in India here, so i don't think i can approach the samsung itself.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Samsung focus lcd broken
Hi pranav. Same here , i have a samsung focus and lcd + outer glass screen is broken. In one of the screen replacement video i saw , the outer screen and the lcd as one unit and not seperate. Though , i am not completely sure.
Did you find a way to get the lcd or the outer glass for your phone in India?
Please contact me on [email protected]
Did you find a source for the replacement glass only? Please share.
I found only glass on eBay (hongkong or china i suppose). When i spoke to people from service center, all of them were saying it is not possible to replace only glass and they wont do it !!! i i don't know if it is really tough or they do not want to take much pain replacing glass and want to replace the whole LCD set which is easy for them.
And the total LCD + Digitizer + glass kit, i found it for 103$ in eBay US, and for 120 - 140$ in some other repair sites and Amazon.
Waiting for get the replacement from US as it costs less and get it fixed in a samsung service center.
Don't think that's possible. After all, the whole point of "super" in super amoled is that the glass is bonded to the display.

I've purchased the glass only and I'm waiting for it to arrive. It was very cheap and if it doesn't work, I'm not going to be too upset for buying it for about $11.00.

Amazon also has unit which is the LCD and digitizer already assembled.

I can update if and when I receive my replacement glass from gogotoshop. I find the place questionable but used paypal and can dispute the transaction if it isn't legit.
BTW....removing the glass & digitizer is not an easy task. From attempting to remove my broken screen, I don't think it is possible to remove it from the LCD as the previous posters mentioned.
mine is i937
Thanks for reply, But my phone is Samsung focus s (i937), and I didnot find the front class or Digitizer or LCD or all together.
I have the same problem the front glass broken. other things are ok, I asked on sumsung service center they said the whole thing has to change, I am sure experts can change only the front class.
Anybody has any idea about if I can buy it in India or any site who can ship to India.
or in UK, my frnd is coming from there I will ask him to buy there for me.
Please guys help me.
Thanks,

So just like the samsung and iphone models, the focus and focus s can be done the same way? I know for a fact that the galaxy s4 Active is best done by machine. Since ive tried but failed to do one. I have removed the glass from a galaxy s3 mini successfully, should this phone be the same? Please respond quickly!
Thank you
I was jogging and fell wearing my watch. The camera glass shattered. Anyone know a way to fix it? The camera still works, just broken camera glass. Also just know if you fall wearing this thing, you can potentially break your little bone in your wrist with the speaker part of the watch. Just FYI. Also, I haven't found anything on the Web about broken gear cameras, anyone had this happen to them?
WOW that looks Nasty !!!!
Cannot see if you will be able to replace just the Glass your best bet might be to see if Samsung can sell just the strap, I imagine the camera is a sealed unit with the Glass glued on.
You are the first i have heard of that has done this
Somebody in the forum here has pictures of the camera disassembled. Looked pretty easy. You might be able to just take that little piece of glass and have a thin piece of glass or plexi cut to size. Then just glue it into place.
Mine broke the second day i had it
i called samsung and it will cost me $70 to send it to them to repair it
i dont even know how i broke mine - i dont remember even bumping it
Best Buy warranty

I contacted a Samsung repair center in Plano Texas and they told me they could order me a new band. They will replace the band for $45. Going on tuesday. Hopefully they are correct.
Hi, i been unlucky and broke the bottom left corner of my note8 screen. :crying: , luckily phone still works even tho there is a tiny hole in corner (guessing i lost the water resistance rating).
The phone still works, so im not in a huge rush to replace the screen because of the cost. But i do have a few questions i hope someone might have the answers for .
1. I have replace screens before in phones ( none my own, i'm usually very careful with my own phones) but this would be my first with water resistance rating. Have anyone of you had success in replacing a screen yourself and feel confidant enough that it still water resistance or even tested it out?
I would like to keep it water resistance for the off chance i ever drop phone in water. I under stand that the screen and back is held together with double sided tape cut to the shape of phone along with a few screens in middle. i'm been looking at screen replacements that's already attach to the center body so i could just have to deal with moving over the insides of phone and dealing with the back cover only
2. Would you recommend that or only ordering the screen?
3. and last question does anyone have a reliable seller(ebay) or online store they recommends. I have a issue before with a Samsung phone that they released a update and it block the use of Non-OEM screens. So i want to make sure i'm getting OEM screen with 0 chances of getting one that Samsung could block.
THANKS!
no recommendations?
If you want to maintain water resistance your best bet is to send it to Samsung. Its actually cheaper that way as well.
For example, I replaced the screen on a S8 Plus myself. I paid $244 for the screen/frame assembly plus had to buy new adhesive for the back door and lost my warranty. I later found out from Samsung they will replace the S8 Plus screen for $217. That includes shipping.
I believe the Note 8 screen is a little more expensive but not much.
check with Samsung support if you are eligible for the 1 free screen replacement thing, you could be lucky
Better of letting Samsung change the screen for approx $250.

I broken also mine, really small distance from the ground,( basically while I was sitting in the car) but kept an angulation that damaged the hedge and propagated a bit on the side, there is the possibility that the screen replacement will lower the price? Currently 350 eu are a bit too much for me. I am just a bit disappointed because honestly was thinking the gorilla glass would have been much more solid, they should sell it with a custom coverage to encourage people to use a cover. I did my research on the internet where was said in almost every place that the problem of this screen was that would scratch but not easily broke.
I broke mine....180 € in official technical center in Portugal.

That's frustrating for sure. The newer gorilla glass on the Note 8 is indeed more impact resistant than before, but it's still glass. 350 euro seems very steep for a screen replacement though...almost double what I expected...
I shattered the screen and damaged the digitizer on my Note8 a little while ago. Found that it was actually cheaper to send it to Samsung for repair than to buy the screen/digitizer. They even replaced the rear glass for $237. I bought mine used, so no warranty for me.
the point is, if for the screen I have to pay more than 30 percent of the value of the phone, and Samsung is advertising a super gorilla glass instead to advice prudence and maybe offer a free cover, I personally could be not so loyal to them in future. If I want to get ripped off I would buy an iphone.

Well, really the point is: if you want a sturdy device that can endure SOME, just SOME abuse, get a CAT device, or at least a samsung active series device, all normal standard devices are subject to scratchs and cracks when dropped, as for the repair price, that is exactly the penalty for not being careful, Just the same as when car accidents occur, the more expensive the car, the more expensive the parts and repair, and, an iphone screen is by no means cheap, my daughter dropped her iphone, and the cost was 220 dollars, but they only changed the outer part, not the lcd panel, the whole screen would have been around 400 dollars
