Hey all,
My Nexus 4 recently had a run in with some concrete and I've shattered both the front glass and the back glass on the phone. I've lost touch response below the crack running horizontally across the screen.
I'm assuming I not only need both faces of glass, as well as a new LCD to recover touch response in that area. Does anybody happen to know a good place to get parts for it? (read also: as cheap as possible without getting a garbage product)
EBay.... I bought my screen for about $90 it was the real one and high quality

atFolix Fx clear screen protector .
Dry and have a great feel. covers the whole back and front
All wet screen protectors like zaagg or xtreme guard have the same problem.
They reduce the touch response due to rubberry feel. And they get dirty very quickly

Bit late now I know but I always go for Spigen screen protectors, used one on my GS3 for months and it was fantastic. Not a mark on it.
I got these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00A0721CS/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1362436750&sr=8-1&pi=SL75
Cheap & resilient. They have a matte finish which takes a little getting used to, but I've got to like it over the last while (well I've kept them on anyway!)
Quick delivery from Germany to Ireland (anywhere in the EU I guess)

Cheap and cheerful, does the job. Fit is fine. Doesnt cover the full screen, upto the point where the screen slants. And doesnt have cutouts for the proximity sensor. But it fits fine, hasnt fallen off yet (had it on a week now) and for the price I cant complain. Its matte and stops finger prints/grease which is what I wanted.
I'd go for the Zagg Invisible Shield.. They have been by far the best screen protectors I have used on my phones in recent years. With a lifetime Warranty and excellent customer service. Yeah its £15 and maybe a couple £ for shipping but in my experience I (touch wood) have never had any issue with them!
Is this the way the phone is supposed to be? There's a small gap between the top part of the bezel where it meets the glass. I try to keep my phone clean all the time but there are quite a few lint pieces and grime stuck in that gap. The bottom of the phone is tight. Never dropped it. It is an RMA

I think you can snap it back. Press it gently and it'll close.

Tried pressing on it. Didn't work. Thanks though

As you can see the bottom is tight with no gap. The top has a big enough gap for dirt and debris and no way to get it out.

Definitely not normal, you should probably RMA again if you can't fix it by simple means like the one posted above

Thanks for your reply. All this time I thought it was normal
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I have no gap on the top or bottom, and neither do any of the 5 others I know with N4s so yeah, RMA.
send that gaping gap back, son!
...before you get tiny creature eggs in them
Called google play customer service and started the RMA process. Thanks guys

Not going well with my RMA. This was customer service response :
"Thanks for contacting Google. The*specialists*has informed me that the*gaps are to allow for expansion of the glass due to varying temperature and is an intended part of the design.
If you have any*further*questions please feel free to*respond*to this email."
Can some of you guys take some photos of your phones so I can send this robot? Any other suggestions?

Dude, I think even with photos, you would be hard pressed to change their mind. Cosmetic faults are always put down as subjective and not worthy of replacement. You should have told them that you were experiencing some technical fault i.e. frequent dropped calls.
If you aren't successful this time round, RMA it again with such an excuse...

I have the same issue but my gaps are much bigger and go throughout the whole screen. Dust and stuff goes in it. The front camera has a dark overlay whenever i use it due to all the dust that has gotten in there. I would RMA it but i bought it off a friend and im not sure if they want to accept it.
Here is a picture of a white door that i took outside using the front camera.

Its very dark and it has a weird dark overlay at the top.
Hey all, I convinced a friend to get the nexus 4 and she had it for about a month before it fell/got ran over from a golf cart and now the screen is smashed and of course no touch input activity. The phone will still power on, receive calls/text and otherwise seems undamaged. My question is, do I suggest to her to sell it as is to some willing person as a fixer upper or do I order a new screen and fix it for her? Costs are the topic she is wondering. Like I say, phone works, no cosmetic damage besides the screen, and the back glass is fully intact.
Any help is always appreciated!
TIA

Do you have any experience with repairing a screen? If not it might just be better to buy another Nexus off of Craigslist and possibly sell this one for around $50-$80. The least you'll probably find another Nexus 4 on Craigslist for is $150. I paid $200 for mine (16gb in mint condition) off of Craigslist 2 months ago

Buy a screen assembly (includes both LCD and digitizer) for the Nexus 4 on ebay and use a T5 torque screwdriver to open the phone. It's not very difficult of a process.
Lcd assembly are $140 shipped OEM on eBay. U also need the tools

Thanks guys,
Yes, I've repaired other screens before so I'm not worried about that process. Thanks for all the help, decision time.
Cheers

Nexus 4 are pretty easy to take apart. Just watch out for the ribbon cables
Damn, managed to drop it. The screen protector saved the screen but the chrome plastic frame is a mess. Does anyone know where to get a replacement chassis from - uk?
thanks
Since the phones barely been released yet it will probably be a little while before parts are. Can't even get a decent case yet.

I dropped my G2 and the screen cracked and the touch screen still works in places, it varies where though, would I need a new digitizer and LCD or could I just replace the glass? I got insurance but if I can fix it for a bit less than 200, I'd rather do that...

You need to replace both digitizer and LCD as they are a 2 for 1 kind if thing you can actually grab some on eBay for around 140$ and replace it yourself or get warranty replacement
