Can i replace the front panel of my note 3 ? I got 2 small dents/scratches exactly where i put the two red dots on the below picture. They are very small but pretty annoying in alot of light.

Can buy new fascia's on eBay and on some phone shops yeah, fitting them may be tricky though.
If I was you I would get bumper case to avoid future scratches and cover existing one and would be really afraid to make things worse, while replacing that panel, than what it is now, but I'm not you.
Personally I find it dumb that users can't swap exteriors by design when phones are bounded to be scratched one way or another. For myself I could care less if my phone got banged up to the max if I knew I can simply self replace the entire exterior except the screen for like $20.
You can buy parts and replace them yourself, can you do it yourself as good as factory without messing anything up is the question. I don't know what exactly is involved in replacing this particular plate, but it seems some disassembly is almost given and there are wires, connectors etc. you need to be careful. It's not like iphone where you have to disassembly whole screen to replace stupid battery.

Earlier when I turned my G1 over, I found multiple lines on the back of the battery cover, I have no idea what they are but they obviously don't look very good. The phone has always been kept in a case and only today have I noticed them. I have a white G1 so the cover is a light bronze color. The lines resemble lines made by a pen very lightly. However, after applying alcohol (hand sanitizer), water, soap and intense rubbing it will not come off. Has anyone ever scratched their cover? What does it look like? I know this is a very... strange question to ask haha.

Yeah it is. I mean, really...it's probably a scratch.

suppose we can't really tell unless you get us some pics
my guess is, it's either a scratch or a crack.
I cant take any pics... they don't show up very well in the picture. But ah well, my Shield Skin comes in a few days, and new themes will be released in like a week from the competition to make me feel better. In the end I will probably end up just buying another battery case for 10 bucks off eBay. Must be my OCD haha.
Someone at work dropped their EVO and busted the screen so I told them I would try to replace it, I bought a screen off ebay but didn't see any differentiation between the screens so I just bought a random one. I read afterward that there are 2 different types of screens?
She has a Ver. 004
Gotta open it up. There's 2 different connectors, and small one and a large one. If you don't have right size connector for phone, then you wasted that purchase.
Sent from my EVO
yup, the only way to tell is to open it up and look

Lol fml! My screen bit the big one today. Found screen with bezel on eBay for 50 shipped. Already popped open evo once to play with its insides and found out its the small flex cable. I'll take pic for you to show what it looks like in case you wanna do it yourself. But on the other end, if you file insurance claim, you have good chance of getting evo 3d as asurion is bout depleted with og evos.

Phone has a custom chromed backplate to it as seen in the picture.
With the phone I'll package two stock batteries one extended battery (along with the backcover for it) two cases, a leather pouch(the belt thing) and a leather holder for it.

1) Place a paper with your id (as on xda, ie.adolfo778) beside the phone in the photo to assure the phone is real and with you and not some random photo taken from net.
2) Would be better if you had placed this in the marketplace forums although a mod might just shift it soon.
good point didnt really think about the nametag thing.
So my rear camera wasn't working really well as of lately... It is providing me with blurry images all the time. Me thinking it was a software issue just waited for a while. But my Iconia had it's update to ICS and the problem still existed. This afternoon I fetched my tab from it's protective sleeve and hey.. there's something blinking oddly around the lens...
after a closer look the coin suddenly drops. there's a tear in the protective glass of the rear-camera.

Not mutch of a big deal since the damage is around the lens, but I think there are some shards inside the lens and light get's reflected wrong by the tear causing blurry and light-dissoriented pictures.
Big question:
were do I get replacement parts like these? my tablet is not warranted for these kind of things and I store a lot of designer swork + presentations on this device. so Turning it in for 2 or more weeks is not an option....
I am familiar with the fact that those glasses can be peeled of very easily (so they should be easy to replace with some superglue). After googeling around I didn't realy find any distributors for these replacement parts but if one of you guys knows were to get those....
You'll probably have to hit the sale forums on the tablet and android sites. Sometimes folks fubar their tabs and sell individual parts.
I have dirt under my LED. I opened the phone and I can't reach it, it's between the glass and some semi-translucent plastic. Any chances on cleaning it without having to detach the whole screen? I don't want to screw things up.
This is the place where the dirt is, after removing the glass.

I recall such a thread being around a few months back. The person was completely obsessed about it =). I honestly doubt you can remove it without detaching the screen completely. You should be careful with the digitizer as it is very fragile....
The other person replaced his G2 completely. Since replacing the entire front panel isn't quite cheap I think there's no other option than to disassemble it.
Ya. Well, I thought maybe that black square can be removed (temporarily) from the case, since it is of a different colour. Maybe someone who is familiar with disassembling this phone can tell us more.

Yeah, better wait for an educated response. My biggest fear in this case, however, is that the black square won't adhere properly afterwards and then you'd keep getting lint under the LED.
