[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enolator:
So just called up Regenersis on Friday morning and they gave me a quote of 122GBP for full repair, service and postage back to me. 8 pounds cheaper than the fixed price on the LG page. So paid via direct debit over the phone and have been told it should be sent off in a few days as both the phone and parts are ready to be put together. I would expect to receive it sometime mid-next week. Will post back on repair results. (If the quality is good, it would have been about the same price as buying my own screen from Ebay. It would probably take aprox. the same amount of time due to long postage times; though the main advantage being that I keep my warrantee).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enolator:
Hey guys,

Final update on the phone repair situation. I received my phone this morning from Regenersis after a total time since send off of aprox. 2 weeks since registration on the LG repairs website. (What more of a present could I ask for on my Bday!).

Anyway, in summary; the repair itself after paying took only 1-2 days.

To my surprise the experience overall with these guys were reasonably pleasant despite the bad reviews on the net. Although I suspect that's the standard scenario where someone will only complain when something goes wrong.

Either way, the repair cost less than the quoted guaranteed LG repair price on their website of 130GBP.

Tips for anyone planning on sending their broken Nexus 4 to these guys:

Register through LG repairs service first. Book your slot online, then give the LG guys a call next day to confirm it's gone through so that they can get Regenersis to send through a repair letter with details.

Once the phone is sent off to Regenersis (I'd suggest Royal Mail tracked as this'll allow you to know exactly when it's arrived in Glasgow); give them a call within about 2/3 days to ask about an online quote or otherwise when it'll be examined by their engineers. (I had to wait until next before calling back to ask about the price and paying through the phone via direct debit).

After that I'd suggest giving them about 3/4 working days to repair if they have all the parts ready etc, before calling back to check on progress.

With any luck you'll get your phone back within about 2 weeks.

I've attached a picture of the repaired phone; it seems good as new and there are no scratch marks or signs that the phone has been tampered in any way. (Sorry for the bad photo!).

Edit: Had a play with the phone, a horizontal line across the upper quarter of the screen doesn't actually respond to touch; only has display. Sooo....called up LG again this morning to have them tell me they'll send me another package to send back again to Regenersis... Only one piece of advice, don't for frack's sake break your Nexus 4. Seriously!

Turns out after the repair, the phone was placed back under warrantee status allowing me to raise the issue up with Google themselves. So after a quick call to the US phone line (cheaper with the say no to 0870 redirect phone line), they agreed to send me a replacement. I received it within 3 days from the call and haven't needed to be absent of a phone for over a week if sent to repair again. Now to simply send the broken faulty phone back to google via their supplied prepaid packaging.

Happy repairs guys,

Signing out.

Newsflash! LG is not in the glass production business. They receive their Gorilla Glass from Corning, just like most of the other manufacturers out there. If the glass broke from you dropping it, it has ZERO to do with LG's build quality.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carpetboy:
Was your phone repaired or replaced? Was the internal memory wiped?

I have a cracked unresponsive screen and will be making an insurance claim (so slightly different process). Unfortunately I hadn't enabled USB debugging so I'm struggling to get the files off the device before I send it off.

I'll be insisting on a repair rather than a replacement and I don't want my device being factory reset.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enolator:
Hey Carpetboy,

Mine was simply repaired, but all my files had been backed up to dropbox and gmail so wasn't too bad. My gf had a few things fixed through insurance and they've just replaced it each time because they're not necessarily specialised to deal with repairs; especially if it's a very new phone it seems. Though if it's just a screen repair it might not be too bad.

Good luck dude! :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carpetboy:
Cheers for the info. I managed to get all the critical files off it last night through the toolkit so I'm not as worried if they just replace it now.

LG Repaired Cracked Screen for $153

Hello everyone,

I recently had my phone repaired by LG. They replace the screen for $153. The repair facility is located in Ft Worth Tx, and the payment center is located in Alabama. It cost me $20 to send it 2nd day air via UPS. Also, I bought another nexus 4, and now am returning it back to google less then 15% restocking fee. Basically, i rented a nexus 4 16gb for $50 over a 2 week period.:p
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singtothemelody:
Same!

I went to my provider here in Canada as well and it was because my phone over heated and the front glass cracked and my provider told me it would cost about $250 and as I read these comments it makes me question why is it $250 in Canada but only $140-$160 in other countries? its not fair ( well in my opinion it should be the same price just in CAD ) I too need this number! it just makes no sense ! I live in AB so tax shouldnt be the problem neither.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kampfbiene:
I too have to replace the screen of my Nexus 4. The replacement I got strikes me as odd, and it would be great if someone could give me hints what to do with this.

The differences are mainly missing contact pads for the motherboards and a completely different touchscreen matrix (did LG change that during production?).

Thanks for your help.

I also noticed the notification area hardly lets any light pass in contrast to my defective display unit.

FYI: the company was quite open when I asked about the differences and states, that the contact pads are usually transferred upon installation to avoid unnecessary trash, and that all the screens they have in stock come with the "dot matrix" digitizer. In a few days I will be getting one from another company, let's see how that turns out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodg19:
I have been trying to get a true OEM replacement for a few weeks now. I've ordered from 3 companies

JMInternational - Amazon

GadgetFix - Ebay

8090Team1 - Amazon

All were advertised to be OEM but none of the screens I have received looked even as good as the pictures you have shown. I was getting ready to order from ETradeSupply.com but they have a no return policy and ship from Hong Kong, so I've been a little bit hesitant.

Where did you order that screen from and where is the second one coming from?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kampfbiene:
Sorry for the late reply, I wanted to wait for the 2nd screen to arrive.

I am in Germany, so I ordered at german shops for easy return managment. Both shops haven't been the cheapest, so naturally out of the Euro zone they are even more expensive.

The first one I got from a german eBay store called MBS-Ersatzteile (85 EUR).

The second screen I bought at handyersatzteileshop.de (125 EUR).

See below for photos of the second screen. It came in a sealed ESD bag, the dots of the touchscreen are less visible, the matrix ist the same. On the frame were alle the pads and glue needed for the installation. According to the description on the flex band the display was of a newer revision.

My guess would be, the first store maybe used a new OEM display and attached that to a used frame, but that is just speculation and those are the only 2 replacement screens I have seen so far. So who am I to tell, really.

Anyway, I am really happy with my new display :good:

well,

got my SGN2 today and now i need a good protector

also seen several cracked glasses so far so i'm also looking into glass protectors

so far i have a simple cheap as hell ebay dry screen protector but i want some thing better

i never used wet protectors before but thats also an option
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] finalhit:
i'm not a materials expert but i think screen protectors will only prevent scratches, not cracks. ( i think someone explained the difference between hardness and toughness in a different thread)

anyway, the forum favorites are spigen, and a new one called just like glass. search for em, plenty of threads talk about them.

if you want crack protection, what you're hunting for is a good case...and considering your history, i'd say go for the otterbox defender.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] iakovl:
seen the threads on them... right now the JLG looks good

my main problem is what type to buy, not the brand (also an issue but lesser one)

DRY vs WET vs GLASS, thats the issue

as for cracks... never killed a screen (S1, S2 , Note1...) but i see people who does and also as i see it the new gorilla 2 glass is... well... not that good
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] finalhit:
Mode of installation doesn't really tell you much about the screen protector.

The best surface is glass; if you want to glide your fingertips on a oem like silky smooth surface. Glass also has endurance, unlike polymers, one glass protector can last the life of your phone; and yet remain virtually undetectable.

All you need is a case, in my humble but accurate opinion glass protectors are useless. It's like putting a black bra on a White Ferrari.

Wouldn't the bra protect you car?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] terra_droid:
Not really the best of analogies, but yeah, for most of the stuff the "Ferrari" would go through, the "bra" would protect it and I'd rather have the bra be damaged and replaced later. Unless it's a collision, in which case of course, no amount of bras will protect the car. :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Vanquiz:
Of course we all would prefer them without the bra, but most times, the bra is necessary to keep them in prestine shape, especially in the long run, so whenever the bra is taken off, they will still looks nice and perfect.

[/QUOTE]Which case are you using with the glass protector?[/QUOTE]

I've just been using an oem flip cover. Not much protection away from carpeted floors or a coat pocket am afraid. I'm considering some real world protection myself.

The glass sits just to the inside of the phones metal band. It adds .4mm and the glass edge is beveled.

To see if a particular case might fit, take a look at the Xgear site. They show a couple of cases they sell for the S3 that might help provide some guidance with chosing a compatible case for the N2 fitted with a glass protector. Wish I had more for you, but the bleeding edge can't be all fun and game..... :)

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] alxndrs:
I personally think all these screen protectors either wet or dry are supplied by probably a dozen major manufacturers in Asia so the difference in most of them are packaging/marketing. I like dry installs, they are straightforward with less chance of screwup plus the fact you'd be exposing your $700 device with water and soap?

Something like this Korean PET based dry install, same as posted in this thread at 3x less, it's what I have for the gn2 and n7

If you want absolute full screen protection, but don't care about using your s pen then go spigen or zagg. If you want absolute clarity, solid protection and a smooth surface that will not get marked up by your s pen, but does not cover every square mm of your screen, then get JLG. If you just want cheapo then you got the wrong phone :)

At least on ICS the mod was rather straightforward. You had to decompile Rosie.apk edit a few m10 and settings files then recompile the apk. Search through my post history, I posted a mod and a link to the tut a while back but then Turge incorporated it into Viper so I stopped working on it.

my guess is when you changed the file extention it cause the problem it doesn't recognize the apk1 extention thus causing a corruption.
