Nexus One Replacements

I recently ordered a replacement n1. are these phones brand new or refurbished? i believe them to be brand new, because of the 529 charge on the credit card. thanks

They are refurbished, and you should get your money back soon.

How do you know they're refurbished?
And secondly, if they are what do they fix on the refurbished ones? Why do they look new?
Thanks

They probably just fix what was wrong with the device in the first place when it was returned by someone and/or parts which look used or marked (I.e. cover). It wouldn't make a whole lot of fiscal sense for HTC to throw out every slightly defective phone

Got my replacement today and;
BRAND NEW WITH AMOLED SCREEN. BOOYAH

How do you order a replacement N1 if your phone is stolen? HTC doesn't appear to sell the directly, under any circumstances.

Man... you may be out of luck on that one.
give them a call here (USA only) 1-888-216-4736
Next time get insurance or something. Or glue it to your skin. :/

HTC replaces any parts that are scratched/worn, to make sure that their refurb units are "like new"

They aren't, the way you can tell is that the screws on the back have slight scratches on them, where the new ones are plain black. The good thing about refurbs are that they are 100% made sure to work, and they replace the mobo so its like new.

Definitely. But its all good. Besides the screen issue.

Got mine today! Brand new too! At least appears to be!

Battery cover?

I broke my battery cover when trying to take it off. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement for it? I called Samsung and they do not sell the part individually.

It would be helpful to know which Nexus S you have. There are several model #'s and they are a little different.

Check global parts direct. You have to buy a minimum amount though and I don't think they come with the nfs chip.

I don't whether you are in the UK or not but I just picked up a genuine battery cover (with NFC antenna) from ebay from a trader called dew_trading. £16+p&p.
edit: it was for a I9020 and he's showing as having 5 left.

If you're in the US, make sure to try again and tell them that you want a warranty replacement for a broken back cover-- not that you just want to buy a regular replacement.
I know it sounds stupid, but I got the same line a bunch of times when I called. I had to ask to be transferred to the Warranty department and be sort of insistent that my cover was broken, and I needed it replaced under warranty etc etc. It should only cost you like $16 through that avenue.

Was able to get a replacement as well for $16! I wanted to have a spare.

Can anyone post the number to call for a warranty replacement?

[Q]Lcd Broken HELP!!

Today I had the worst accident My phone fell and a door closed on it. I want to know if the screen and digitizer on our phone is the same as those on I9000 (galaxy s) because they seem to be cheaper in Greece where I live. Any suggestions of cheap international online shops is deeply appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Please, if you already make a [Q] in the title, post it in the Q&A Thread, this is not related to development!

new screen costs around 180$ right? (rediculous price tbh) if i remember correctly.
maybe sending it to samsung is even better

I wanted to do this and roght now I was going to edit my post to tell everyone that there is no Thread for Q&A only for I9001 so I did it in here

Brood I do not care for a genuine Samsung screen just one to work! In Greece it is about 100 Euros and 60-70 Euros on eBay and I do not think they are genuine in either case.

AW: [Q]Lcd Broken HELP!!
Yes the i9000 lcd screen fits.

Our Q&A thread is hidden in I9000 Q&A thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252697)

make sure is not the i9003's screen, because is a different type of screen (9000: amoled - 9003: super lcd)

Emmm... Screen or only glass and digitizer is broken? That's is very important. Becouse new glass and digitizer cost less than 60-70$ and it's easy accessible on ex. ebay.

Its impossible to replace the digitizer without damaging the amoled. They sell the item but its useless.
Amoled, digitizer and the Gorillaglas are guled together, forever!

If you know what are you doing, then you can replace this

Both are broken screen and digitizer because when touching the screen the light do not light and when I make a call to my phone I can not answer it. So I am going for a screen and digitizer has anyone tested anything or has anything to propose. I am looking for the cheapest and most sure to work combination. Thank you all for your replies

OK. Last question I am thinking to buy this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Whi...437?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d066c387d
I have the black SGS+ so I thought to also change the color! Will it be suitable for my phone or I will have trouble in assembly because of the other parts included?

I9000 and I9001 are the same in dimension, the only thing that is different is the camera and cpu. I thought it was explained before in this post. Take the phone to a service with the newly bought lcd/digitizer and they will fix it.
Oh, and don't complain about prices, if you want your phone to be fixed and work as new, pay some cash. Otherwise try fixing it yourself

I have cracked my screen...internally

Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?...my screen is only showing colour lines with black lines in between on the top half of the screen only, thanks.
Edit: I am 99% pretty sure the LCD is cracked.

It'll cost you a fair amount of £ to fix that. You'll have to replace the display and the glass (since it's zero gap, and therefore they're in one piece).
See if there are any service centers near you and get a quote from them, but it'll be expensive. It'll almost be cheaper to just buy a new device (on contract, that is)

I have been to a few repair shops around my area, I got quotes for £180, £150 and £100.
One guy said it has to be opened internally and replaced.

Happened to me, Samsung replaced it, they took FIVE MONTHS to do it but they did (After almost entering with a process against the company). They said it costs R$700 to fix it here, but the phone alone (new) on the stores is about R$850.
Well, five months of wait, i won't buy a Samsung phone again, and the screen they placed looks **** (It its REALLY over-saturated, and darker colours look so **** that you can't imagine.)

Have you enabled this?

I managed to get my phone fixed, it cost me £160...I have my old screen unit if anyone requires it?

[Q] Has anyone replaced their screen on their own?

As you could imagine, broke my screen recently. Just wondering if anyone has replaced their own screen, looking for instructions and source for new screen.

I could be wrong, but for the 2013 Moto X , Motorola gave one free screen replacement. I would think that they would do the same for the 2014... id contact MOTO and see what they say

I think if the don't replace it for free it is only $120 or so for them to replace it.

Broke mine and the total came up to about $135, replacement screens from reputable vendors are over $200. Normally I do it myself but I damaged the frame also so getting a refurb was a no brainer. I get all my parts from etradesupply dot com.

Screen replacements are not free and at best are $250 through Moto. There are some disqualifying factors why I can't/don't want to use Moto. I have searched high and low and cannot find anyone selling a new screen. Found a good teardown vid so if I had the screen it doesn't look super difficult to pull off.

Could you provide a link? I have been looking for a good teardown video. I've already seen this one which is OK. I was kind of hoping for a better one.

That was the same one I watched. I found it useful, but not really willing to do this ATM.

In the website says that the screen is only for XT1096, I dont know why? anyone knows? Will it work with a XT1097?
