Any one know a way to remove screen scratches without replacing the front glass???
There is no way. That's why we use screen protectors.

Try contacting huawei or it's authorized repair center for a quote, alternative, if you have friends in china, they are readly available very cheap to purchase and replace, in the next few days I will be going to china to get a pink back cover, this color isn't available in my country. You can also try aliexpress.

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.

Looks like there is but I think it only comes in the bundle pack. I don't think it is tempered glass. I am considering this. Drop test looks promising.

Is there replacement actually glass and not plastic?
Hi guys, I am planing to buy this part http://m.ebay.com/itm/301919713916?sojTags=bu=bu&euid=4124923511da4d918b84785bd245abaf&_mwBanner=1
Has anybody buy it? Or there is another alternative

I purchased this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/151944057660?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT. It looks OEM whereas the others I have noticed do not have the text at the bottom of the glass.
I bought one of these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/311644498275
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,

I cracked the glass on my Moto X 2014... I don't want to replace the whole screen, it's expensive. Can I buy a fitting glass and replace just that? If so, where do I buy it, and are there any instructions (either written or video)?
Thanks a lot.
As far as I know, it is not possible to buy the glass on its own. The entire front panel - glass, digitizer and screen - all come as one unit. Even if you could buy it separately, I think you'd have a difficult time replacing it on an existing panel.
See the ifixit guide here: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Motorola+Moto+X+2nd+Generation+LCD+Screen+Replacement/40724

There are other videos but it's possible but not easy.
If you have cracked glass and touch working, I would recommend you to install a tempered glass screen protector for now (temporarily).
Save money and get a full display assembly (glass+digitizer+frame)
Because fixing the glass alone is the toughest job to do in a mobile!
Spares are around 100$ in ebay. :|
Thanks guys! I think I will proceed with the tampered glass protector then. Spares are really very expensive at the moment, jeez...
Hey Nijom
could you (or somebody else) link me where I could buy a tampered glass screen protector or other good quality screen protector for the Moto X? Unfortunately I cannot find any here in Italy, in physical shops, and in order to buy online, I'd like to get a good one.
Thank you

I contracted Motorola and they sent me a replacement device for $125. The best part: it was still on 5.0 and I was able to Mofo and sunshine to unlock. It's like I got a completely new phone for $125.

I got one from Alibabaexpress: (note, the link is in turkish)
http://tr.aliexpress.com/item/For-M...ouch-Screen/32374054319.html?isOrigTitle=true
I can verify that this is an OEM screen. I replaced it myself which wasn't too difficult except for the fact that the included T4 screwdriver broke after unscrewing six screws. Also I wish I had bought those pointed tweezers that are in all of the repair videos. I just had normal nail tweezers which made the repair more difficult but I still did it.
So I bought this Mi Mix dirt cheap because it had a cracked screen and the bezel is cracked also. Where’s a good place to get replacement parts. I’ve heard of isssues with the lcd and ambient light sensors. Can someone point me in the right direction? The lcd is fine on my phone but the glass is cracked. Is it possible to replace the glass or is it just easier to replace the whole assembly?

How much did you pay?
Mi Mix - Epic Pro
Replacing whole unit would be easier but costlier , replacing glass is cheaper but not easy, you'll need a lot of patience if your are fixing it on your own(or if some expert agrees on doing it for ya might be a plus point), you'll need special adhesive to bind glass to screen,most people use some sort of thin thread to remove glass from LCD, I have seen few people replacing AMOLED panels which are even more thinner then the IPS on Mi Mix but its not easy process lots of things should be kept in mind ,and you might end up breaking your display
1*See if someone is buying that display then sell it and buy a whole new assembly
2*If 1 is no help then you'll be left with 2 options replace glass or assembly
Either way you can give replacing glass a try if you get the glass cheaper
Replacing whole assembly is your last resort
Check you jerryrigeverthing channel on YouTube he did disassemble Mi Mix and he also replaced glass on a samsung oled panel

Paid $100 for the 6GB + 256GB one. Though the $100 came from recycling soda pop cans which were given to me. So in the end I didn’t pay out of pocket for it.

Last time I checked the full assembly plus frame cost upwards of 200$, not including service costs of course.
Which means that fixing up that beast is still going to be pretty pricy.
If you have the tools, skills and patience to do it though then that's definitely a goal worth pursuing.
Keep us updated on your progress, I love following DIY projects like these.
Looks like vopmart sells the bezel for 90 and the screen assembly for 100 + 10 for frame. Hmmm. What to do... Gotta check out some more teardowns to see if I want to do it myself. But from what I can see it doesn’t look to bad. I’m just not sure about the optic glue + glass & ips panel.
Little update on this. Went to the local cellphone repair shop and asked a quote for a lcd assembly replacement. I was quoted for $120 total (parts & labor) for full assembly replacement. Which also includes lifetime warranty on the screen as long as the screen is available. The repair guy was looking for screens on eBay including the frame for the lcd. Seems pretty damn good if you ask me and I wouldn't have to do the dirty work. But thing is I don't know how well they do repairs. Also, I forgot to ask for a quote for the bezel.

There are some teardowns on YouTube, quite easy with a few hurdles, the hardest part for me was removing the battery, there are tabs you pull that's supposed to help but they just snapped on me. If you're lucky it might work if not don't rush it or the battery will puncture and you will need a new one, the copy batteries are crap. Watch the teardowns a few times and you will get it. AliExpress was where I got mine there are loads of sellers with them. You will need some b7000 glue as the replacements don't have adhesive on them. The glue is very cheap and the screen come with tools.
Where did you buy it?

You need to be very selective when buying the LCD. Almost all of them do not have the oleophobic coating turning the screen into a smudgefest within minutes. I replaced my coated screen with an uncoated screen initially and it was disgusting. Luckily it was defective so I returned it for my money back and then went to Aliexpress. This vendor has the only coated version I know of:
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/For-...61ef335&transAbTest=ae803_2&priceBeautifyAB=0
Sorry for the lengthy URL. He claims to have the coating and he acutually delivers on the claim. Another important factor is the middle frame which is included and already attached to the screen. Man screens come without it and you then need to pry the old one off and glue it to the new screen. Often the glue is not strong enough and the diesplay will lift out of the phones body. Sure, it is more expensive than other options, but worth every cent. The display is fee of defects, sits flush with the ceramic frame and makes the phone look pristine.

This is all true, mine is smudge magnet, I can live with it but annoying everything else is ok, I clean the screen with solution then use liquid car Wax to add a bit of a coating against fingerprints, 3 coats of car Wax and a good polish off. Helps a little bit with smudges. It feels really smooth afterwards.

I got my mi mix screen replaced by ShatterFix (www dot shatterfix dot com). Heard of them from a friend. They have pickup and delivery service across India.
They replaced it with a 100% genuine screen and delivered back on the very next day.
Costed me 9599 INR. Service centre was asking 13.5k here in Delhi.
Guys, I have discovered a crack across the glass that is deep enough that I can feel the crack line with my fingernail.
I intend to buy a replacement part & have it fixed at a repair shop.
Anyone able to share a link that you have ordered from before ?
Thanks all.

Yes... the outer glass part ... They told me they used to replace it for free for Redmi Note 5 pro and Mi A1 given the devices are under warranty. But when they ordered parts for A2 , there were notified to charge for it. Aren't there Xiaomi service centers in Singapore ? If there are it's better to take you device there. If there aren't I think you can find it in AliExpres too.
Hello people!
The back glass of my K20 Pro is broken unfortunately :crying: . I don't know how it broke despite being in a case.
I'm from India. Can someone advise how should I get it fixed?
Should I go to the service center or get it done in the local market?
If anyone knows the price of back glass replacement in service center, please let me know.
I heard the price of the replacement in local market is around ₹ 500-700. Ofcourse it's not original glass.
Does anyone know if there is any difference in quality of glass applied in the service center to the one used in local shops (probably imported from china).
I'm in the same boat as you. Fake back cover glass is about 800/- on Amazon and the process of removing and applying the glass seems fairly simple. But yeah, I'd like to know how much of a difference is there between the original and fake back cover.
