Ok so I want to order a new replacement battery for my G2. the problem is I am a little weary because when I had a Moto Cliq before I ordered a new battery from Hong Kong, (dumb) which ended up blowing and possibly screwing my phone. Anyway I'm on Ebay and see a USA seller with a replacement for six bucks. What should I look for exactly when getting a replacement? I know I want to look for the keywords "direct replacement". Anyway, here's the link to it if you want to look.

If you are looking for an OEM replacement, $25 is not a bad price. There are many battery threads in the accessories section if you are looking for a non-OEM that has some more juice to it.
Just remember that you get what you pay for... A $6 battery in a device that would cost you $300-400 to replace off-contract... Doesn't quite add up.
Thanks much guys. Pretty much what I was thinking.

Hi all,
Recently I dropped my Vega and broke the glass and digitizer.
Curry's have told me that it wouldn't be economical to repair & charged me £20 for the pleasure.
I have also gotten various different quotes from other quite frankly dubious companies online all above £180.
So I have come to the decision that it would be a lot more risk free to just buy another one.
I'd like to know if anyone knows a good place to sell my broken Vega for parts? Everything else is tested and working fine on it. I would stick it on eBay but I'm not really sure what a fair price would be.
If anyone could offer advice I would greatly appreciate it if I can reclaim any of my money back.
Thanks very much
Simon
Where do you plan on purchasing a replacement mate?
I've been desperately trying to get a hold of a new one for two weeks now!
Everywhere is out of stock. I've tried every Currys and PC World in the North East and online, they're all gone.
Any ideas?
I'd like to steer clear of eBay as nobody will guarantee a 100% scratch free screen.

Could try gumtree I got one two months old with receipt and case for 160 pound. Seen one go for 90 pound. They don't seem to sell very well second hand so even month old listings and they still have it forsale and drop the price.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, just thought I'd ask as you mentioned that you were going to get a new one.

so i sold my atrix on ebay, never received any feedback its been about a month...
today buyer says the back cover is missing protective grid dynamic?
im not sure what he means, he says its missing the mesh? and now wants me to purchase a new cover
can i see your guys back cover front and back?
and what should i do? should i give him $ to buy cover + how much should i give him
No chance mate. Did you send it with signature required? If so then he or she should of flagged the issue immediately. Not a whole month later. I guess the "mesh" is the speaker cover.......
Anyhow tell the douche to do one. Hope you don't give in to the threats and pressure.

If they don't complain within a week of receive its not your problem. My 2 cents.

yes i shipped fed ex 2 day with signature
he purchased it as a new york buyer, but is contacting me a ukraine buyer i offered to get me one from ebay for 12$ he said they don't ship to ukraine and he wants 15 + buyers fee? lol 3$
im guessing he bought the phone, it gets sent to a ny address and then sent to the ukraine
i feel i dont have to pay him anything, but the way ebay protects buyers is what scares me
i wouldn't worry. if it's been a month. it's more than likely that they damaged it. Buyers fee??? they're having a laugh!!
i hate people who don't give feedback! ebay need to sort that one out!!!
Give eBay a call... Their customer service is actually pretty good and they can walk you through exactly what your rights are. They won't keep you on hold for too long, either! Definitely worth the call.

Not good I can tell you.
The Display set will run about $100 by itself (And you do want the set not just the digitizer believe me)
The back alone with all antennas goes for over $50 USED.
You COULD replace the back glass with a new one but it does take some time and patience to remove the glass completely and the associated antennas carefully. The Back glass can be about $20 or so.
These are Ebay prices btw.
Selling one in your condition won't get you much either. The going rate is about $100 or less.
This is the problem: the phone is so cheap and the recient dump of people getting the "Next cool phone" has made resale of the N4 low. Sadly with the drop in price the parts have not dropped in price.
I would personally LOVE to refurbish N4s but the resale after fixing them is next to $0
Here is an option for you. IF you need to get anything off the phone you can get a used 8gig (I can find them for about 170-200 on my local CL) and swap the MB out. It's an incredibly easy swap.
Crap, nice phone, are third party parts good?
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
LG charges $140 to replace the digitizer and display.. not sure what you'll be after that but at least you'll have a usable and working phone, which still has solid specs for todays standards. Not sure about back but if you do everything under $200 you can sell it for at least that much or more.. Probably cost you 200 and sell for 250..

I had the same spousal situation with a N4. I've bought a new glass+digitizer+LCD off of eBay for $120 out of China. It only took about 30 mins to swap and looked factory. All things considered for a one piece unit, $120 is a good price. The Samsung all in one fronts are rarely below $200 for the S3 and newer. I also wanted to replace the N4's back since there was a serious scratch on the side of the back battery cover but like one of the previous posters said at $50 the rear cover seems too expensive.
Maybe just buy her a new case that covers the broken back glass and replace the front?

Is anyone here familiar with how much I'll have to spend to get the screen repaired for me?
My screen finally cracked after someone knocked it out of my hand, my bumper wasn't sufficient for this kind of impact. The bottom half of the screen doesn't function.

In India, it costs about Rs. 4500 = $75US.

I saw your location was NY. So I just told you that in India its for Rs. 4500 which is more or less $75 if your convert the currency. But you should call up LG services for the exact prices.
Got mine fixed for $180 and thought it was a bargain others charged $250 btw I'm in australia

In California, $185 was the best price I was quoted. It was cheaper to buy a used one on Craigslist and sell the broken one for parts

Seems like it's cheaper to repair overseas than in the us. I don't have the money to spend 180 on screen repairs so close to the holidays. I think I'll sell this cracked one, then switch to my galaxy s1.

I bought the screen (LCD + digitizer + frame) all in one piece on eBay for $128 and replaced it myself. If you haven't done it before, it might take you about 1.5 hours..

I don't think I'm skilled enough with hardware to pull this off. I would likely mess up. I was thinking about trading it in to tmobile and just using my S1 until I can save for Project ara from moto next year.
Whoa. That's expensive. 185 for the screen, that's insane

Doesn't make sense to spend nearly $200 on repairs for a problem that's affecting ~15% of my screen. I've been using my phone upside via rotation to overcome the dead zone.
However I cannot stand knowing a crack is on my phone, this is the first device I've allowed this to happen to ever.

They are just trying to rip you off. Call up the LG service care helpline if you haven't already and ask em about the prices. Because these repair centers are usually authorized one and can quote anything. Happened with my HTC sensation. They charged me Rs. 11000 for the screen and when I confirmed with HTC they said its for 4000 about 2 years ago. So be sure about getting it repaired anywhere. Hope things work out for you. Sad to see another device on its death bed.

Hello Rishav,
I dropped my Nexus 4 yesterday...the display is now cracked and unresponsive to touch, so I cannot get past the screen unlock pattern. I read your post that it costs Rs. 4500 to get the screen/digitizer replaced in India.
I was wondering if you know where I could get it done in Pune. I see that your location is Gurgaon but any info you have / could provide would be appreciated. I searched on Google for Nexus 4 repairs in Pune but haven't come across anything useful.
Thanks in advance!
Rahul
Just contacted LG via live chat, and apparently it'll be between 100 and $180. I'm going with 180 because the frame, digitizer, and screen are all damaged. Sadly I don't have $180 right now(have to worry about tuition, transportation, bills, etc.). Think I'll just sell it on eBay or whatever.

Hmm. That's bad. Well, in India the screen, digitizer and the silver bezel around the screen is for the price mentioned above. I'd suggest you keep the Nex for a while and get it fixed after a few months. I mean it's your call.

Hi I work in a phone repair shop in the uk. I don't recommend just changing the glass. It's nigh on impossible to do without damaging the digitizer. You need to change the glass/digi/lcd and frame complete. The part you need is about £85 on ebay so a shop is gonna do it between £120-£150. Anything over that is a bit pricey.
LG is repairing mine this week for 153.00
Symptom/Cause: Damaged housing need full Refurbishment (LCD, TW, Back glass, Cosmetics)
Repair Cost: $ 153.00
