I got my One just last Tuesday. I have been keeping it safe all the time but today while I was sunbathing I fell asleep for just 2 seconds and phone slipped out of my hand and fell from about 15-20cm on pebbles. I was hoping that screen will be fine but I have noticed a small square with about 4 tiny scratches right next to each other. They are very light but noticeable. It looks like I have a piece of dust on it but it's a scratch
Since I got the phone last Tuesday, do you think I'll be able to get a replacement?
It's ridiculous that screens from 2013 still scratch dead easily, I've dropped my One X numerous times and screen is in perfect condition looking brand new. Same with Desire HD...
Could it be possibly faulty?
BTW: It didn't fall directly on pebbles, it slid from a sunbathing chair and fell on pebbles so it really fell from only about 5-10cm. I am gutted
Pebbles/stones/sand contain quartz, a pretty darned hard mineral. Gorilla Glass is rated a 5-6H hardness, while quartz is 7H. It will scratch your screen every time.
Ah, I might give T-Mobile a call and see if I can get it replaced.

I'll just try my luck to see because they have 2 weeks return warranty or something like that. I'll show them the scratch and see if they can actually do anything about it. If not then I'll have to live with it.

No need to be harsh, I have been having several issues with it anyway including 3 or 4 dead pixels with which I was fine. I agree that it was my fault but since the device hasn't been in a perfect condition anyway it's better if it goes.
Thankfully they have this 14 days warranty which covers accidental damage as well so I should be getting a new handset later this week or early next week.
If you're still under the 14 day return just return it. Then buy a screen protector

thanks for that info i didnt know that
Mine scratched after 2 days which was my fault however when I got mine the tmobile worker was very reckless with mine and she messed up the SIM ejector and sold me a refurbished one, so when I went for the exchange I was told about the 50 dollar restock fee but didn't have to pay (maybe because of the way the worker handled my first device) oh and proof she messed up the SIM ejector was he couldn't get my SIM card out for me! Lol so he activated the one in the box

Good stuff I have already ordered a new case and screen protector so I am prepared when the new one comes later this week. I gave them a ring again and guy from T-Mobile was extremely nice and he told me that I am paying £5 a month for for insurance anyway which I didn't even know since I get first 3 months free but because it happened between those 14 days he would have replaced it anyway.
I've been in touch with HTC and they said that every retailer has to take your old handset back within 28 days even if it's not faulty which is a good thing to know as T-Mobile said they only have 14 days.
So far my second one is good, every here and there I hear a crackle in speaker for brief moment and top front plate is a little separated but just very very slightly but it's better than that horizontal scratch I made which was deep and the jacked up SIM ejector refurbished one I had before

Awesome, I ordered the middle plate (has the bezel and holds the internal battery) and the white battery cover. This will turn the phone from the blue variant to the white variant completely...all for about $60.

I just did this on Monday of this week. I got my parts from eBay. You will still need to order the silver/white sim tray which I also found on eBay.
In addition I went with the Moto X Pro back instead of the white one.

Damnit, so does it feel something like the black Nexus 5? that weird soft/gel type feel?
Also, looking at the middle plate that I ordered and it seems like I only need to swap out the camera and a couple of other things. The small delicate pieces seem to come with the new housing. The battery being the biggest thing to have to remove, should go smoothly tho since I'm not separating the digitizer from the front glass.
Did you have any hiccups or anything like that?
Oh, I have a white Moto X and it looks like the sim tray is the same part number as the tray of the Nexus 6, so I'll just swap them over. Where did you find the replacement battery cover for the Moto X Pro?

Ohhh you did the polishing thing? That's awesome. What all did you have to transfer over from your complete middle plate to the new white plate? I'll be able to tell once I get my hands on it but it would be nice to know what to expect.
If there was a way to flat black the entire bezel, I'd be down for that. Similar to the black HTC one.

Hey did you have an issue with the adhesive on the back cover? meaning did your replacement back come with adhesive already attached? I've seen that you can purchase the adhesive separately so I wasn't sure if it comes with the cover.

Mine came with the adhesive already attached. It is a real pain in the a$$ to get the stock one off. I use a heat gun to warm it up a little and it helped a lot!
At first I thought it might be tough to line the new one up on the first try but it was easy. I pulled off the adhesive backing fully and then lined the top up with the camera hole and it went down fine.

All of the parts came in the mail yesterday, so that's the middle plate, tools and white back battery cover (with adhesive attached). I went through TMO to get yet another warranty replacement since my power button is kind of wonky, so I'll have a couple of N6's to take apart and compare to make sure things are done correctly.
Thanks for the tips.

I was going to wait to switch to my polished aluminum frame until I got another back because I when I took my stock blue one off I scratched it up a bit.
But since I found that video I went ahead and switched the frames out again before the other back I ordered came.
I don't think I have ever received so many compliments on a phone (and I've had almost every flagship phone) as I have on my Nexus 6 with the polished aluminum frame and Moto X Pro back.
Does anyone know where to buy replacements?
I would love to replace my Sprint blue back with the silver one once it breaks. I know it's only a matter of time...
I would like to know as well since my back is cracked now.

A back and new bezel is $145 installed according to the Samsung Service Center in Plano, TX. It's about ninety minutes worth of work and if you're near a service center can be done while you wait.
EBay has spare parts now.

This. Tho I doubt it considering it's curved.
$45 On ebay. ..sorry I can't post link yet.
Theres a local, to me, supply company (etech parts) that says they will have them in stock very soon. I know it doesnt help now, but they do have a website. Just search for it, as I dont want to break any rules. There are a few parts on there for the Note 5 now, but the screens, s pen, backs, glass, etc will be there within a few weeks I was told.
Not sure what their pricing will be like, but it will be genuine Samsung parts.

It has a Samsung logo (can't see too well in image) and they appear legit. But be careful when placing on. You must gently press all around the edges before it seats right in perfectly.
I believe this would be the same procedure as replacing the battery. it would involve using a heat source (a heat gun in the video I have seen) to soften the glue, use some plastic tools to gently pry up the back and apply the replacement (not sure if you have to reheat or not) it does not seem complicated, you just have to be careful and not rush it or you could damage your phone.
As has already been posted the parts can be had from several sources. (one bit of advice - if you are not sure about doing this yourself, you may want to have it done by a professional)
Cheers,

Pretty much. Start at their online repair site:

So I contacted Motorola and they will fix it for $175 and if I want it back fast I would have to pay another $40 in s/h. With that amount of money, I could just buy a brand new one for another $50. Any thoughts?

Yes it's 250 on Amazon. Probably a better choice.
Also do yourself a favor and buy a case
OK but now I'm in a dilly of a pickle... I have the option to buy the 6p. My concerns are that the 6 isn't gonna receive anymore love now that it's going on two years old. Would it be wise to purchase the 6 again? Or should I just upgrade to the 6p? I love the 6, I do. But...and yes there's always a but lol. But the 6p intrigues me. I've researched and I know its not much of an upgrade but I love the thought of the fingerprint scanner and the overall look of it. But it is slightly smaller in size and I'm a big dude...but (there it goes again), I could always get a case to make up the difference... Anyways, I would love you guys feedback on my first world dilemma lol. Thanks!

If you still have the phone and aren't afraid of breaking it you could try a glass only replacement. I have never done it before until yesterday. I ordered the wire from eBay and made a simple jig to hold the wire so I had both hands. I successfully removed the glass. Hooked it back up still works. Am waiting for the new glass and loca glue (didn't order it until I removed old glass so wasn't waisting money if I broke it. I did practice on 2 junk phones first. Only one of the test screens worked before and it still worked after. YouTube videos is what I followed.

Would you care to share your links in what you did?
If better camera and finger print sensor and more comfortable phone in hand is whats important to you i would dive in. I buy 3 phones a year so i can understand you wanting to upgrade even if its not that big of an upgrade . But at this point there won't be any giant leaps from year to year .

Here is a link to glass and t3 torque screwdriver. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=361337407585&alt=web
I got all the parts on ebay. Used the cheapest I could find from us sellers. You need a loca glu. I used a uv flashlight I got on eBay to cure the glue. Have to put it on all parts of glass for about 30 seconds each spot.
Here is the link to the wire I used
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111281188717&alt=web
I drilled 2 holes in a 2x10 block of wood about 8" apart and put the wire holding sticks in the holes. Watch YouTube videos to see how to take phone apart
It worked pretty good for me. I ended up with 2 small air bubbles under the glass and glass is slightly lifted on one side. Cannot notice once in cheap tpu case.
I used a locktite glue that takes 24hrs to cure to glue screen back to bezel. Cleaned with close pins while curing. Tried double sided tape didn't hold, krazy glue dried to hard didn't hold screen to bezel. I think all my trial and error and scraping and reglueing the bezel is why it is lifted.
Sorry took so long to reply. Just glued the screen on 2 days ago.
And I am in no way saying this is easy just that it was no where near as hard as I thought it would be. You could easily completely break screen trying this
Update. Screen works fine but... The locktite worked the best but is coming undone again. I believe I may have had the loca glu to thick. And made the screen thicker in doing so. And when I put it together it is pressing out. Am thinking of reseperating and reglueing. Any advice is welcomed
Just a PSA for first time Skinomi users. When I put mine on two days ago, it looked like absolute trash and I almost ripped it off immediately. But I didn't.
Two days later and it looks great. Like magic fairies put a new one on while I was sleeping or something.
So, if you try this product, give it at least 2 days before you pass final judgement. Also, put it on at night, let it sit overnight without a case on. When you put it on, after aligning it well and squee-geeing the excess fluid off, take extra time to rub your finger along the curved edges. This will make them tack down very nicely (even though the rest will look like trash, just give it time).
Premature use of a case will most likely cause the edges to pop up. Waiting until the next morning to slap on your case is a good idea.
To clarify, this is regarding the Skinomi Tech Skin Premium HD Clear.

I've always liked Spigens plastic screen protectors. I had to use them on my Nexus 6 since no TGSP would work with its 2.5D edges. I have one of the Spigen's enroute with a ETA of tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it is.
Edit: It's actually arriving today! I just checked the tracking. I've been reluctant to use my S7E all week because I don't have a screen protector and already managed to get a tiny scratch despite 'babying' my phone.
how did you get early? says in stock March 11, 2016...
Some pics would be nice, wanting to get this too and put glass on top lol
so 1 question once I install skinomi skin what happens when I dip my phone in water or like splash water over it since the phone is water resistant. Does the skin come off ?
i ordered that protector and received it already but i dont have the phone yet...but did you get an email from skinomi saying they werent satisfied with the fit on the phone and changed the design up on the protector and is sending out a replacement protector for free...so i guess im gunna be getting a better fitting replacement from them...

Looks like Skinomi botched the first batch with incorrect sizes and are fixing the issue. They commented on Amazon re the issue to a customer complaining that it didn't fit properly so they probably pulled the stock until its fixed.

I can attest to how botched it was. The cut was for a S6E+ sized device and horrible IMO. They aren't the only company that did this, but at least theyre fixing it.

I pre-ordered it on Feb 25th, got it on the 29th.
I was surprised.

The one I'm using is from the "second batch", fits well.

so 1 question once I install skinomi skin what happens when I dip my phone in water or like splash water over it since the phone is water resistant. Does the skin come off ?

Splashing water seems fine, I haven't fully submerged it though.

They are also offering free replacements to those who purchased the first version so hit them up!

I already returned it to Amazon, but a replacement just arrived in the mail. I'll probably send it back because they refunded me earlier

I bought a supershieldz before I got the phone just to have something and could get something better. Turns out, I need nothing else. I don't even know I have a protector on it. Love that cheap old thing.

I have the same one and its great! I tried the Spigen (which was okay, but then started to peel) and two wet install ones that were cut oo big. The SuperShieldz is the best one so far!
