The glass on my nexus 4 has cracked couple months ago after falling 1-2 feet from my table. Only recently I decided to replace it with the Display + Frame kit in order to avoid all the mess with the heat gun. Replacement was a piece of cake, very easy phone to work with. Sadly, there are bad news. The touch screen is ghosting and being erratic. I bought the replacement from ebay, linked below, and have messaged seller about replacement.
I tried to save couple bucks, but now I will have to ship it back for RMA and have to deal with down time. The unit does not look like a cheaply made clone, but the labeling is pretty much copy and paste with weird font, suggesting that the item might be clone. Now take a look at replacement from repairuniverse website. The touch screen controller has a version number on it, which is 1.1 The original screen on my N4 is version 1.0 (1238). If I am not mistaken, the new touch screen fixes the issue of random minor-ghosting which I did have form factory.
I will try the RMA replacement, but if that does not work, where can I buy the quality touch screen with frame? Is the one sold by repairuniverse as good as it gets?

My sister smashed up her phone a few months back (Nexus 4), and then a few weeks later my girlfriend did the same thing to her Nexus 5. I ordered both replacement screens from ETradeSupply (here's the N4 one: http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-lg-...nd-digitizer-assembly-with-front-housing.html) and while they are definitely pricey they have been working so far without issue.
I feel they are overpriced though and there might be a cheaper and just as reliable solution.

Would you say that those were original parts or counterfeit? Judging by the pictures, they look like original, but then on ebay the seller put up pictures of original replacement and sold counterfeit. The biggest giveaway is probably labels of ribbon cables.

I am not sure, their site says OEM but I do remember there being some strange gold stickers on them that weren't on the busted screens. A few of the sticky tabs (like the one that sits under the camera, and the one under the micro USB port) also did not look the same. Everything else did though, like the radio cables etc., were all the same color. Honestly I don't know for sure.
You should go with spareslg.com. They are the only site I know that appears to sell brand new service packs. Bear in mind you should replace the battery as well, it is impossible for the average person to reuse the battery after a screen replacement.

I will keep spareslg.com in my although they are outside of my region.
Why would the battery need to be replaced? Because of possible damage when taking it out?
I found it easier to take everything out first, and battery last. It is easier to pry the battery on the side where antenna cable is taped.
You can try reuse it. I've seen cases where people have done that and then 2 weeks later it has swollen so much it cracks the back of the phone. LG would replace your battery if they fixed the screen.
Nothing is impossible with right tools and patience I have changed lcd and back glass few months ago and still using old battery without any problems ...

Did you get your N4 fixed? Where did you end up getting a screen? I just broke mine yesterday and need to buy a good replacement.
Thanks,

Sadly, I have not fixed my N4 yet. All the sellers I contacted claimed that there is no sellers that seels OEM parts, only OEM compliant.
I just might part my nexus and buy something else.

working fine. for some reason the price for this changes lots i got it for 78 but it shows now for 73.00 plus ship and import, I have seen him list it for 300.00 don't know whats up with that. note proximity sensor is very finicky when changing screens. In my case turning the rubber seal around fixed it on 2 screens.

You can check the lg website for Portugal. They will link to spareslg.com for OFFICIAL parts. So there are some global websites that will sell you OEM spare part. They are in my region but for what I see they ship worldwide.
On ebay you get some good deals and others not so good

So here is another update. I have put away my broken N4 and used HTC Amaze 4G for quite a while. Recently Amaze began to have issues with touch screen until part of it stopped working all together.
Figured I would give ebay another try. Seller is wholesalegadgetfix, item number 151206512431. Item is listed as OEM, but when I asked the seller they weren't sure. Whatever, placed an ordered and received it today.
First of all, the unit looked OEM-ish. Synaptics MC was clearly labeled and its ribbon cable was stamped with few numbers and Rev 1.1 Display ribbon cable had markings with numbers that are similar to updated actual OEM item.
Overall, markings look OEM, but not necesarly in right place. Frame itself is OEM. Tried to test the unit before assembly but it was almost impossible, therefore, I proceeded with the install.
Right off the bad, no issues with touchscreen like previous ebay unit had, at least not yet *fingers crossed*. Display quality looks good, although I don't remember what original looked like.
One bad thing about it. There is slight light-bleeding at the bottom left where back button is. It's not terrible, but I imagine it won't be a big issues with translucent bar. After-all, this is my best phone option as of now.
Sorry for bumping an old thread.
Dropped the phone, boohoo, glass shattered. lcd works fine and so do all touch areas. But the home button and back button do not work along the bottom. My overview/panels button still works.
So what do I need to replace? Will a simple glass replacement/Digitizer on eBay for about $10 restore function to the home and back button?
(as a side note - I think I can root the device + install permanent on screen action buttons right? The free stuff from Google play isn't cutting it)
happened to me a few months ago, I bought full lcd + digitizer from alliexpress. I believe it woul be very hard to separte the display from the screen/digitizer
Good to know they're available. I somehow got a tiny corner chip on mine (no idea how). Thankfully it's small and low enough that it doesn't affect buttons or screen.
Would this basically be it?:
Seems pretty simple as long as I can get my hand on a heating gun.

Yeah that is the one you need
That same seller sent me a message after I paid for the screen, he told me that there was low stock and it will take them about 6 days to restock, I decided to cancel the order and buy it from another seller but it was the same story, there was no stock and it took them around a week to send the screen.
I placed the order on Jan 03, the screen was shipped on Jan 09, and it was delivered on Jan 16.
My phone on stock rom has an issue where the left edge does not work. LeEco said it was a known issue. I literally cannot seek a YouTube video to time 0:00 because it stops responding at about 0:14.
Do you have any issue with YouTube seeking to the beginning with the new screen?

That has no effect for me.
If it is a hardware issue, I would ask LeEco to exchange it or I'll just replace the screen myself. LeEco tells me it is a known issue that I have. Now I am questioning if others have the same issue as me.
Can I assume nobody else has an issue with the screen/digitizer on the left edge, such as when seeking YouTube videos to the beginning?
replacement experience
Hi all,
For those who have change the display for the x720/x727, Have you found any significant difference from the original display? I need to change mine, and I have seen one on aliexpress. Sorry but I can't post the link because of the 10 post limitation.
It has many reviews, being almost all of them positive. But someone tells that there is no light on the capacitive buttons. I'd want to know if you have experienced this issue. Also, in your opinion, has the replacement the same brightness like the original one? Is as responsive as the original one?
Many thanks.

For me the replacement one looks a bit better than the original. Everything works fine.

I bought it from AliExpress 20 months back. Found no issues till date.
Hi, today i found out that there is some dust particles stuck under my camera glass of my brand new OP8 Pro, bought just 3 weeks back.
Anyone else facing the same issue?
Pictures attached below:
Already contacted Oneplus Support. Will update what their response is.
Really dissatisfied with their QC. Is this how a premium smartphone shoud be? My 4 year old device still doesn't have any dust under the camera glass

RMA dude. That's not right..
Must have been in there prior to sealing . Either that or is bad luck. If it's the latter then waterproofing is probably not right either
Had my phone for almost 2 months and no issues thankfully. Maybe you got a defective phone? I'm sure if you reach out to OP they will assist
Bummer, not heard of this since the launch... maybe RMA
