Original back glass cover replacement - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Has any of you guys replaced the back glass cover? Is there a retailer you would recommend me to buy it from? I need to purchase the original, not a fake one that will look cheap on the phone. Thanks.

I can change it myself. Just need a reliable place where to get the part from. Ebay seems to have plenty but those don't lookk original.

I would like to know this as well.... Broke my old S5 and need the front screen and digitizer.
I ended up getting a new S7 edge with my wife so wasn't on the forefront of my mind. I'll look myself and post if I find anything decent to share.

why don't you visit a repair shop and ask if you can buy the part from them?

Replacement glass???

I have looked but I can't find the back glass plate anywhere. Broke it in the first 10 min of having the phone. If anyone has a link to where I can find one it would be great. Thanks...

I've seen it online for sale. Google it.
How did you manage to break it right after getting it?
I saw this link in a thread(s) in this 4rum, search those threads for further information.I Dont have any relationship with the website, so it's not PR or advertising.

Dropped 185 lbs on my nexus

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

Camera problem, fixed the hardware, now it's not focusing

So my camera broke. It was just the outside of the part, and the pictures didn't show a crack, but I still wanted to get it fixed. It turned out to be 50$ from one of the mall cell phone repair shops. Anyways he fixed it, but now my camera won't focus now. It tries, but then the thing goes red. Is this something he possibly did? Could it also be the rom I am now now? Like a bug?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Joe
I would think you got a defective camera if it's not working. Not too many things that I know of that would cause that issue if it was working fine before you replaced it unless you didn't make sure it was hooked up firmly.
Sounds defective. My friends did that. I ended up ordering the replacement camera for $20 on ebay. Next time consider replacing it yourself. It's very easy.

I might just see if I can get money back and do it myself if they don't cooperate, but how would I do this? What part would I need and what tools?

You'll need:
* Phillips #00 screw driver (I bought husky set at home depot for $5)
*guitar pick or plastic opening tool. Can also be bought on eBay.
Those are the tools I use.

I didn't follow a guide but watch this video. Its about how to take it apart. You'll have to only do the motherboard disconnection which is very simple

Got scammed with a fake Galaxy Note 8.0 . Buyers beware...

So I tried to save some money by buying a Galaxy Note 8.0 online through Alibaba.com and boy did I screw myself. I should of just bought one here in USA or one from a reputable seller. They said it was original before I bought and of course I trusted them but WOW. It doesn't even have an S-Pen that's how fake this thing is.lol... So after messing with it and started downloading games it's not bad but with no S-Pen I think the Galaxy Tab would of been better geez...lol... What's make this even worse is that I did a factory reset and now my wifi ain't working. So now I'm screwed big time. I'm not much of a cell tech but I sure wish I could at least root it and have a different room so i can be at least a little happy with it. Can anyone help and send me a link where I can start. Any help would be much appreciated. Here's some pictures for those that have one so you can see the difference. You can't really tell but it's a knock off alright. Now I enclosed a picture of the build and it looks like it's rooted so if it is can I just load clockwork and install roms? Thanks again friends.

Try cpuid to identify all the componentos on the fake Note
Why can't you return it? Or dispute the card charges with your bank?
Because the company in China guaranteed me it was Original Samsung and it wasn't. They said to return it for refund but what I'm going to pay to return from USA to China and to imagine that they keep it and not return my money. I'll just sell it local...

What you've described is fraud. You are not responsible for shipping charges when there has been material misrepresentation. I don't know what bank you use, but my bank would have those charges reversed in a heartbeat.

They burned me for 350 USD. I'm complaining and I won't stop even if nothing gets resolved. I told the seller I don't trust them for a refund after they lied about their "supposedly original" product. So they said they will refund me 200 and after I receive it, then to send it to them for a full refund but I'm trying to go for full refund if I can....

I was just looking at the replacement piece that they have on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L4RYCMU...UTF8&colid=33MOSQOO5G27B&coliid=I82EQ2NOO7N3Q
The replacement for the part seems very easy, just look it up on youtube.:good:

All you have to do is search "galaxy s5 usb port cover" via any of your local markets/retailers like this guy did...
Doesn't take a genius to figure this out.
