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?

If they got it from samsung, the 99% chance it is NFC.

MoBo replacement costs about 300 Euros here, so I suppose it would be apprx. the same amount in dollars
for you guys. Everything's cheaper in America, you lucky b4st4rds.
Who to send it to? Can't help you with that, sorry.

Wow I'm damned glad that I bought insurance then. Thanks for your input sir, much appreciated.

I dont think insurace would not cover bcoz it's void the moment you root your device.

But its valid the moment you unroot it....

Yeah but isn't it a bit hard to unroot a bricked device? Maybe you have got a crystal ball that let's you foresee upcoming hw bricks so you can act in time and unroot your device/ remove any custo rom

Insurance is insurance. Your making a claim. Not claiming on a warranty.

Well when you fry your mobo, especially the eMMC it can be hard to see if you even did anything to your phone

Look there is one word insurances love when dealing with claims of customers. It's called negligence. If you damage your phone intentionally or grossly negligent it's likely that they refuse to pay or reduce their payment. And flashing custom/ altered software could be considered grossly negligent.
@ OP Haven't you got the general terms and conditions of your insurance policy?

Insurances employ specialists whose job is to verify whether it's indeed a damage covered by the insurance or if you caused the damage intentionally, maybe to conceal the fact that you bricked your phone by flashing something not approved by the manufacturer.
I don't want to say it's not covered. How could I because I don't know the insurance and the general terms and conditions. I just want to say be careful. It's not guaranteed that the insurance will actually pay for a bricked device.

need touch screen digitizer for spice mi 410?

Can anyone have screen digitizer for spice mi 410 as mine was broke. Also I have found one on ebay but it is from china & I have no experience of buying thing from outside India so please suggest me some site where I can buy it.
I have tried replacing it from service centre but it is out of stock there. Any help appreciated.

Why cant you purchase the one from China? I know its not the best choice but I repair phones and thats where alot of my digitizers come from. Takes longer than anywhere else in the world (to Canada) but since I am guessing your in India it shouldnt take too long.
A friendly thanks if I've helped! Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app

Thanks buddy.
As I have not buy anything before so I am not sure that they can successfully shipped the product and it will not stuck at the custom. In case if I buy the digitizer do I have to pay the custom and which version is appropriate for spce mi-410 as there are two version available on the following link.
ebay.com/itm/Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Lens-Glass-Replacement-Huawei-U9000-Ideos-X6-Ascend-X-/110992222778?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D5008752633813528302%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D110992222778%26
kindly put "www" before ebay.

Sorry but that unfortunately I am unsure of. I am somewhat unfamiliar with this brand due to the fact they dont exist in Canada. Maybe somebody else here could help you out with this..

"sorry" but why? I know that you are not belong to this thread that's why I have posted in a thread where people who are well acquainted with these device can answer my problem. And thank you for at least replying me.

Actually your thread showed up in my 'latest' category and I was trying to help. In fact, it would seem I did answer your question. Its not my fault you dont know your phone. Your welcome, but I doubt id help you again.

[Q] Sony Xperia Z badly placed backplate

I recently bought an Xperia Z, but the glass back plate is a little bit caved in at the bottom, it's flush in the middle and it sticks out a little at the top, is this common? Has anyone had a similar problem? It really bothers me even though it's not visible ..

If you bought it from a shop then return it, since it's not normal.

Thats strange.... I think you mean insurance. That costs money and that is not what they meant here. Warranty is given by Sony if you bought the phone in an (authorized) store. So if you have a receipt you can go back to the store you bought your Z and claim warranty. The store will send your phone to repair center and they will fix it free of charge.

But rooting has nothing to do with a faulty backplate. So I still think Sony will repair your phone. Maybe you should try to contact them via Xperia Care chat support.

Just take it back, dependant on the carrier, they'll probably just replace it there and then (if you have the box and receipt).
They wouldn't notice it's rooted unless you have installed a custom ROM.
I work in an O2 shop in the UK and we have a 14-day fault swap policy. I assume most carriers are the same.

Under Eu legislation a shop has to give 2 years fault warranty its not a well know thing though so keep arguing and threaten lawyers then they will just replace

But I have a leaked 4.2.2 firmware and an unlocked bootloader, are you sure they don't check it?

...if you can prove it is a manufacturing defect (which this case should certainly fall under).
They are not legally required to cover things that can be caused by software errors, such as burning out a processor due to overvolting, increasing the wifi antenna power too high, nuking the baseband bootloader, etc.

I swapped and recycled rooted phones myself and had no issues what-so-ever.
I can only say this for O2-UK.
Take it to the carrier and don't mention the root or leaked firmware at all. I'd think they wouldn't look twice other than at the actual casing.

You can always remove root and unlock your BL (If you have saved your TA)

It's an indication that the adhesive holding the glass is starting to fail. Caused by the heat generated by the phone itself.

My understanding is that the device would have to be purchased from them and in US only.

I am! i just found out you can do that!
They give you two options and i chose the latter...
which is, I pay 175 Plus a 500 dollar security hold,
they send me a new phone, i then send mine to them,
they assess the damage, then take the 500 dollar
hold off my account.
so for 175 i get a new phone.
Best Deal Ever compared to 275 to have someone just
replace the screen.
Thanks though guys/girls!
