Replacement Parts For Nexus S 4g (Sprint)

After an absolutely horrid sprint customer support experience regarding my los (topic for a diff thread) issues I traded my Epic 4g Touch to a guy on craigslist for a Nexus S. The screen is scratched pretty bad and so is the back cover. Any idea where I can find replacement glass and cover?
Thanks!

Hey, you can check this website. They sell all the parts you want.

Hmm... Then I suggest you try to ebay it. You are in US, aren't you? I think you should be able to get it from ebay US. if not, I personally don't think you can get it from anywhere else.
But I too recommend you try to contact with the shop link I posted. They should know if Nexus S I9020 SuperAmoled would be compatible with Sprint one. Good luck mate!

BUY a bricked one from eBay or somewhere. As long as the screen works, you can harvest from it.

Play back to life!!!!

My plays flex cable bit the dust a few months ago but now I have successfully brought it back to life and it works just as good as ever!!
Ps. Installing the flex cable is not fun or easy lol for those who want to try. I broke the first flex cable I ordered doing it and had to order a second but now she works great! Prolly keep this as a secondary phone while im still in a rogers contract.

Another flex cable bites the dust. SE really went to town with the cheap components they used.
My PLAY will be out of warranty in about 4 months, thanks to the 2 year warranty in the uk, so I plan on opening and closing it several hundred times until it breaks so I can send it to the service centre to be fitted with a new one.

Its not the quality of the cable thats the problem it rubs against a metal peice everytime u open and close it. All they really had to do was put a plasitic protector over that metal peice lol. The stupid slide thing is riveted shut so I cant really do anything myself just keep throwing cables at it lol only 12 bucks on ebay

Hey can you link me where to get that flex cable? Mine went bad yesterday. Do you by chance have a guide or any pointers to change the cable as well? Thanks, I really appreciate your help.

They're on ebay all the time. Mine wore out but it was under warranty, they sent me a new phone as a replacement. I had already moved on to a modern Android phone so my brand new PLAY is still in a box. I like to take it out and look at it sometimes.

Ahh the flex cable issue...
Mine has never faulted, however I've replaced the cable in my friend's Xperia Play twice already.

Ya I think it happens because the slider gets loose causeing a pull on the cable and it rubs on the metal peices hard

Replacement glass???

I have looked but I can't find the back glass plate anywhere. Broke it in the first 10 min of having the phone. If anyone has a link to where I can find one it would be great. Thanks...

UK best qi chargers

Hi, I am looking to get hold of some qi chargers in the UK and as Google still see fit not to provide us with any orbs I was wondering from the range of qi chargers available - which is the one to get in the UK?
a little ebay search returns :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_n...+wireless+charger+nexus+4&_osacat=0&_from=R40
but there are some mentioned here that you cant get on ebay. I.e. the ones that were given out for free at CES 2013 that someone posted a while back. Anyone have any definate reccomendations for purchasing or should I hold out hope for Google who just never say when they will or will not allow me to buy something from them .
I

Wondered the same myself since wireless charging unit disappeared from the UK play store

really interested in this one:

looks like perfect feature set:
micro USB,
good size

Cool, I just bought one off that guy in Harrow - shame it comes in only white, why White?!
Anyhow - it arrives wednesday next week - will let you know my thoughts on it. I was thinking of doing a mod with it for the car so when Play do actually stock the official one, I can pick one of them up for the room.

I bought the Zens one from Amazon Germany... Although it was shipped to me from Dunfermline (only 30 miles up the road so quite rapid shipping )

What was the advantage of buying from Amazon DE? At the moment its more expensive pre shipping . what did you pay?

and how come on Amazon.de you can get
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00AW8TCSG/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=ce-de
but you cant get that from Amazon UK
I do sort of refuse to part with £50 for a charger though. It seems crazy! I struggled to part with £30 for the other one above off ebay.

Key advantage when I ordered was that they had it on sale... A-UK didn't even have one listed (any... Not just the Zens)

I've got a Maxell Air Voltage one. It only comes with a mains cable, but works well. I stick it on there over night and then in the morning just pick it up and go. It's about £40 so a bit more expensive than the eBay ones, but it works for me.

I have just ordered this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221166419716?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648 It seems to be a good price. I will let you know how I get on when it arrives.

If it was me and I was going to spend £40 on a wireless charger and couldn't get the Google Orb one, I'd get the Nokia one. Think it looks coolest.

Cheers
I'm gonna order one but the black is out of stock.
Might just get the white one.

so I went for the £28 one from Ebay. £30 delivered. Its from a guy in the UK who must be importing them from China in bulk.
Its pretty good so far. It uses a 2A 5V USB charger cable. I tried it on my 700mA samsung charger cable and this wasnt really enough to get the connection stable.
It is extreemly slidey - the surface it lays on must be flat as a pancake.
It has a little green led to say it is on and a blue one to say it is charging that flashes.
I doubt I would want this as a bed-side charger.
The car doesnt also offer enough juice to charge using this. Perhaps 1A isnt enough?
Im pretty chuffed for £30. I couldnt ask for more. Ill buy the official one when it comes out as I do want a bed-side charger.

I have noticed it gets very warm. I guess this was to be expected. It is a bit of a novelty, I suppose I would prefer it if this had some kind of small cradle to hold the phone within, and it would be nicer if it was black too.
I might try to mod it slightly, paint it black and put some small mounting pegs on it perhaps?
Who knows...

You have any idea of who would buy them? Im thinking of listing on ebay but idk what or where to start and ive seen them not being sold after a while

Even if they don't always sell quick, there's no downside to listing them.
