Phone is cracked on front and back what're my options here?
send it in to LG for repair... i know when my screen cracked it cost $140 to repair, i'm unsure as to what the cost would be to repair the back as well.
alternatively you can buy the glass itself and replace it yourself but in my case it was cheaper to just have lg fix it.

Buy a new phone?
Am I close? Maybe get virgin mobile and build your way back up to the nexus.

When this happened to me I just bought another one that had the opposite damage. You could probably get away with a water damaged phone if the digitizer isn't sensitive to a little h2o.
Is that all that's damaged?
Pictures? Did you fall on it or something, I mean, 185 lbs, lol...
Picture or it didn't happen :thumbup:

Lol yeah if 185lbs was dropped on it I feel like more than just glass was damaged.

get the front and back replaced rough estimate= 150+60=210 $ best of luck
well i took it in to get repaired.. the guy came out half way through the repair and said that they put a new screen in but that it wasn't responsive.. i'm thinking more than just the screen and back broke.. the guy said it was for sure their screen though.. he told me that they'd order a new one and have it done tomorrow.. hope it was actually a faulty screen...
Leave us an update. I got my pop corn nearby

My phone was in my bag and it got closed in the car door. The screen is cracked and the phone is rooted. Wil they not replace the phone because it is rooted? I have insurance on the phone.
From everything I've read you shouldn't have an issue either way.

I just sent mine back with my ROM on it. I'm hoping they fix the glass and send it to someone with the ROM in place our at least the newest cwm in it. It's unlocked and all so booting it they will see the padlock

I got my screen cracked too.....my advice is to get this
http://www.ebay.it/itm/130639498734?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Its very easy to install sice it doesnt have only the screen and the touch digitizer but also all the hardware realted to them so to change it you dont have to use a heater gun as you should do with the other products...
I bought one and it is PERFECT!!!! exactly the same feeling of the original one!!!
Hope this helps you!!!
P.s.=Its only for i9020 tho!!
I was just cleaning off my screen and I noticed theres some dust under the screen in the front camera hole. There's dust, and some stuff that looks like ice crystals or salt. It's been in my pocket all day and I think it's really weird. I'm not going to RMA or anything, because I will probably never use the front facing camera anyway. I always use the back
I too have dust in my front facing camera. Not a big deal but really LG? The build quality may look good on this phone but it's actually pretty bad. This is my fourth phone. I'm not rma-ing again.
You can easily take out the back cover and remove it.
You just need a #5(?) torque screw and a prying tool to open the back cover.

I don't understand why OEM's cant manufacture a phone with a proper dust seal gasket. It drives me absolutely nuts when there is dust under my screen. My old HTC Desire HD had dust under the screen within a week of purchase, and i took it back to telus. Unacceptable.

I shouldn't have to do this. I would rather rma it than possibly damage the phone and void the warranty.

It's relatively easy. Here's the video that I used.

Nothing about removing the front camera to clean it.

Bezel of the device or bezel of the screen. Both seem simple enough just the screen bezel seems time consuming and tedious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm4f2XjQLAM

This is going to be your best bet on replacing it.

hmm, I am being off topic here, but couldn't resist. If I need to choose between buying a brand new phone for $500, and buying a mutilated phone for $300 that I have to invest time/money into fixing, but that could still have hidden damage (like stressed over tensioned frame), I would buy the $500 worry-free one
I wish you luck man fixing this one, hopefully it goes well...
Oh I have a brand new one I got for 500. But then I saw this one and it caught my eye, so now I have two

Maybe a case will cover up the bezel, would save you time and money trying to fix it.

Did you do the replacement? Because I have a dent in my bezel and want to make sure the websites listed in this forum are legit and are trusted so that I can replace my bezel.
I dented my frame and replaced it for $20 pretty easy just take off the back and reinstall new one

Did you buy it from the website posted in this link? If you did what part did you buy? Front or back housing?
Hey there, long time lurker here but now I really need your help. I managed to drop my Nexus 4 this morning from about 3 foot onto lino flooring in my bathroom. It landed smack bang on it's back and the back glass is shattered.
Are there any cheap solutions to repairing this? I saw some glass on the bay for about £20, I don't know how easy it will be to repair though. Also thought about getting a skin from dbrands and just sticking it over it, hoping it holds.
Thanks, Ben.
I guess there aren't any alternatives.

It's not the screen, it's the glass on the back.

their are 2 options you will find the one with NFC with be more expensive if you dont use NFC get the one without it and i got one for a friend off of ebay just search" nexus 4 back housing".
As far as buying a new back, I've heard a lot of people going on eBay, but where you get it is up to you.
As far as how to replace it once you obtain a replacement back, check out this thread. It has pictures and a nice step-by-step guide on how to do it. Scroll down a few posts and the OP also tells you where he got his replacement from.
Call LG
LG charged me $69.00 to replace the back glass.
Personally I'd save myself some money and time and go with a dbrand skin. The carbon one actually looks very nice on the N4 IMO (look at Taylor Martin's posts on www.pocketnow.com if you want to see it).

It's whether it will stay on though, with the glass being shattered and all I thought it might peel off with the shattered glass.

I rang them in the UK and they said they don't do repairs.
The people they referred me to (Carphone Warehouse) quoted me £79.99.

Decided to get a dbrands skin and a ringke fusion case. Maybe some superglue to hold that glass together.

Sorry, that was the wrong link. This is the correct one, if you're still interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZDAIgwbXk4 (the first 2:30) and the oem back: http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-lg-nexus-4-e960-battery-door-nfc-version.html
So I just took my phone out of it's case and noticed that the back glass was cracked. I read in one of the threads that apparently a back repair from Google is free? It's kind of hard to believe but does anyone know anything about it? If it's not free, how much would it be to have the back fixed? Thanks.
Its not free. You can find the back piece for about $60 online

Yeah I didn't think so :/ but is there anyway I could buy just the glass and change it? That's only $20. I don't want to pay $60 for a back lol.

There is a lot of post explaining this particular question in detail for simple and short no or at least it's very hard due to things actually being hooked up to the glass
