Hi guys, this is not a whine thread.
I'm travelling Vietnam and Thailand for 2 months, was picking up my day pack, forgot to close the zipper and dropped my N4. No biggie, still works like a charm, but a couple of days later I noticed there is a barely visible crack going half-circle-wise from the top right to the bottom right of the back glass. Might even just have been the heat around here and not the drop, as it's a constant 35+ degrees celsius and there is no visible "pressure point" to the crack. It is just one single crack.
I don't even care about it. It's virtually invisible and my phone is a work horse. I've always used it naked and I'll replace it some day anyways.
However, I am wondering if the crack will get worse, or if there is any reason besides aesthetics to replace the back glass. I love my N4 and I'd rather spend some money now to fix the broken back then buy a new phone a few months from now if the crack is just the start of a bunch of problems to come.
If the crack will not get worse or cause more problems in the future though, I was thinking of just putting a thin, hard case on it when I get home.
Did anyone here crack their N4's back glass and decide to not get it fixed?
Cheers!
Wrong section of the forum mate, should of been posted in the Xperia Z Q&A Section as this has nothing to do with Android Development lol
Go home boy, you're drunk. hahaha. This isn't nexus 4 forum and this is a development thread. Haha.

Are posts like that really necessary ? Is this 9GAG or XDA Developers ? If you can't answer the question, then don't post - and if the section is wrong, there's a nice yellow triangle for you to press and let the devs know...
@OP: There is no point in replacing it now, unless you can do it for free or very very cheap. If you can live with it - just ignore the crack. Be careful though, if it cracked - it might break sooner or later. A hard case might help as you won't put so much pressure on the glass with it on. This is a wrong section, yes, but if you look at Nexus 4 forums - cracked back glass happens quite often with this phone and most users seem to ignore the issue as it's not worth the hassle.
Don't post questions in Development, thread moved to Q&A.
Thanks
My sincere apologies for posting it in the wrong subforum.
Thanks for the replies! I'll probably not get it fixed then.

It seems like as the Nexus One gets older and a new phone comes out every week some one is making a "who's switching" whether it be the G2 or the latest WM7 thread. Is it me or is it getting annoying? If you're going to leave the N1 or Android why do you need some one else to share your opinion or validate you leaving? When I bought my N1 in the G1 forums I didn't feel the need to post a thread saying okay everyone lets go!!! I just came to the N1 forum and didn't look back; ill do the same when I switch again. The point is if you're leaving just do it and don't clutter the n1 forum with your goodbye; go do the portion of xda that is dedicated to the next device.

Yeah I would have to agree. I could understand if they were wondering what others opinions were before switching, but alot of the time they have already made up their mind to switch and all they are really doing is trying to talk bad about everyone else's phone and sway others to their way of thinking so they feel better about their choice they already made by cluttering up the forum with threads that have nothing to do with the Nexus One.

Couldn't agree more.
I think this thread deserves a sticky, and all the "who's switching to what" threads buried under it.
Don't care about switching threads here at Nexus! You can post them in XDA General discussion >General section...
maybe a moderator will read this an suggest this to make it an over all rule because this can't be the only thread its happening on. I'm sure the g1 forums are the worst about it, now that everyones contracts are coming due.
+1 for a dedicated swingers thread.
Anyway, its human nature to want to share decisions, commonly referred to as Confirmation bias- google it, makes for an interesting read.
So sick and tired of all the clutter and silly threads. Now that XDA has gotten massive, its about time a lot of these threads should be put together.
Opinions are welcome and definitely needed, but when a genuinely interesting and useful thread is blocked by someone whingeing about how this phone didnt/did this...kind of defeats the purpose.
Its like your ex calling to tell you how good his/her new boy/girlfriend is and how he/shes glad to be rid of all the problems with you...sheesh.
Somebody should make a thread collecting threads by people very guilty of this. I imagine you could trace them back a few phones e.g. a touch diamond user complains endlessly of the their phone, moves to a nexus one and about how its so great, then bags it out and moves to a new phone and so on.... I'd read it . Would be interesting to see how perceptions change.
So you guys get offended if we discuss about leaving the Nexus? Seriously????
I can see you covering your nexus with a hand while opening these threads, whispering him that he's the best and kissing the trackball

It's too bad XDA is overrun with assholes. If you don't care he's leaving, then don't reply and his post will quickly fall the bottom and no one has to read it. Take your insecurities out on someone in real life; see how that works out for you.
G1-8701, peace out. Enjoy your new phone. Though, you should really check out the new Atrix 2. It's way underrated and the sleeper phone of the year (or couple months, whatever it turns out to be).

On so many levels, XDA used to be so much different. (AKA a lot friendlier)
The people trolling in threads and others retaliating with profanity is exactly why we are seeing more and more devs leaving.
We need to have more "community" going on around here. If you don't like a thread, please fight the urge to ignore it instead of getting into a flame war.
And on that note, can we please lock this up?...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Agreed. I tried making a thread to get people too come togther and acomplish something for the betterment of our device and of course same deal someone had too come in and run there mouth. I should have ignored him but spoke my mind and now my thread is closed. Come on people were all on here because we like our device not too argur and pick fights with people.

Hi All, i created this thread regarding to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40803795#post40803795
Could you all of you who that unfortunate enough to have the cracked lense on the camera post your Serial Number in here? What region your in also. . . Then we can determine if its batch related etc etc. And maybe then something could be done about it. . .
I wont post my serials as it has not happened to me. But please do, it may help some of you out. . .
MODS: Maybe you could make this into a Sticky as it now is becoming more common.

This thread actually serves a purpose. If we can determine which batch of phone are affected we can possibly help HTC fix the problem.

Thread fail.
This thread is useless. You cant pinpoint a broken camera on batch numbers. Its not the same or as widespead as the gap issue. ITS COMPLETELY RANDOM
Blame it on your mail carrier if you have to place blame. Maybe you should try to get the ups or fedex unique warehouse number that handled your box?
Its just as useless as trying to pinpoint a batch number lol...

Most people just do a quick post on this forum when doing so from a phone..auto text sometimes maybe the cause , being in a rush or english might not be their first language don't be so anal...
On this matter I strongly believe it was poor handling or someone leaned the glass on a rough hard surface maybe a key while the phone is in ones pocket..close this thread pointless
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
actually if some of you bothered to read, this is a spinoff thread from a previous one thats ALL about random users with lenses that cracked out of nowhere. Ill sum it up for you. Theres about 15 of us thus far...and all of us happen to have the same batch number except for one. All of us have the FA34 batch. man, this site has a lot more idiots than I thought.
FA34 covers an entire month's worth of production from that factory. You've narrowed it down to April! Yay!
If the thread that you reference already contains all the information you are reposting here, then there is no need for this thread.

Concur about this thread, but the affected phones were FA34CW, IIRC.
Wow this has turned into a trolling thread,
Yes this thread is now useless and now should possibly be closed...
BUT... when i created this thread last month, there were alot of disputes about the camera lens, and nobody was posting serials etc etc... so i thought it may be useful...
Aslo, why does one have to pick up on peoples spelling or gramma? Some people could really take that to offence.. ever heard of stupid predictive text? Dyslexia? not just a bad education man!
I can see the reason for this thread, but it has been ruined. It is obvious from the other thread that a decent number of people on xda have a broken camera cover. It's a real issue, not people mistreating their phones. I mean how the hell do you break the lense cover anyway? Maybe if you're really unlucky and don't use a case... But with a case on?
Anyway, the other thread is going much better than this one.

How long do I have before my flame retardant suit is ineffective?
Hahahaha... Both you guys found the correct thread for this already. But thanks for bumping this superfluous thread anyway!
I heard from another website that the cracking is caused by the expansion of the aluminum when it gets hot.
Anyone else find a very very small sticker covering their camera? It was still there after completely removing (I thought!) all the little sticker/protective covers on the rest of the phone.
Just found it, having a hell of a time getting it off but it's definitely there!
Yeah, I took it off.

Sorry, I searched the forums a handful of different ways and didn't find anything about this.
My bad.
Yeah if you look around the bumper there is some there as well. Its to protect from incidentally scratching off surfaces. Older slide phones came with them on the back of the slider as well. Even the charger block came with one I believe lol. But yeah it shouldn't be too hard to take off.
